Five years later.....

It has been five years since the day I went to meet the most amazing girl I've ever known. I remember thinking that it was going to be the beginning of the rest of my life with the girl I loved. So here I am five years later the luckiest guy alive. In front of me stands a girl that loved me more then life itself, that has been beside me through the good and bad, the tough and difficult and the hardest time I've ever had. I remember that day so many years ago when my life didn't turn out as I planned but I can't complain because at the end it was the day that my life changed. That day I met the girl beside me in the most beautiful white dress and the biggest smile you could imagine. She was the reason I stood here next to her. She gave me the opportunity to show her how much I loved and cared about her. How much she made me the man I was today.

The pastor turned to me and spoke "Edward do you take Isabella Kelley to be your wife". I turned to my beautiful bride and uttered the words that I have dreaming of uttering since the day I realized she was the person I was meant to be with "I do". After the pastor pronounced us husband and wife Isabella turned to me and wrapped her arms around me. "Edward Cullen we've overcame everything put in our path and from this day forward our love will continue to grow. I love you for that beautiful heart and soul you have" she whispered into my ears and brought her lips to mine. Those words brought me back to the day in the library when we had talked about our favorite books. I smiled and whispered against her lips "Forever Mrs. Cullen".

Five years ago if you would have told me I would be standing here next to Isabella instead of Bella I would have told you that I could never see that. But that day at the restaurant changed everything.

When I handed the rose I had picked up I was met with Isabella. She was meeting up with her boyfriend for their anniversary. After her date arrived I remember waiting for Bella to arrive and getting worried as the minutes passed.

At 9pm I looked over to see a somber looking Emmett walking towards me.

"Hey Edward listen man she's not coming" he said with a look of pity on his face.

"Why not?" I remember thinking that something terrible had happened. Because Bella would never intentionally stand me up.

"She was in an accident and didn't make it." Those nine words alone destroyed my whole world. As I was making my way out of the restaurant I heard someone shouting my name and turned to see Isabella running towards me. When she saw the look in my face she stopped "Edward are you ok?" I shook my head no and mumbled "She's gone" as soon as realization hit me I crumbled and Isabella was by my side in an instant.

Emmett told me how she was on a bus over to meet me and the bus took a wrong turn and went off road. I remember blaming myself every single day for what happened. And ever since that day Isabella stood by me through everything. She helped me cope with Bella's lose and helped me seek help with my guilt. She was there even when I asked her not to be, when I tried to push her away and when I attempted suicide. It wasn't until a year later that I realized that she was never leaving. She was never going to leave me because she loved me. No matter how many times I tried to push her away and wallow in my misery she always pushed back and prevented me from wallowing.

At first I told her over and over again how I was unlovable. How loving left me alone and I was afraid. She always assured me that it wasn't the case and that no matter what she would not stop loving me. I didn't believe it and I kept pushing. Not until the day that I found her crying in her car did I realize that I was hurting the one person that was helping me through everything.

As I was making my way to work at the hospital I noticed Isabella sitting in her car with her head down. At first I thought she had fallen asleep until I was closer and noticed her body shaking as if she were crying. Panicking I ran up to her car and opened her door.

"Isabella what's wrong sweetie?" I asked as I wrapped my arms around her. She placed her head on my shoulder and mumbled into my shirt "Edward I don't know what else to do. I've tried and tried to show you how much you mean to me but you keep pushing me away. I love you Edward but I don't know how to make you see that." She let out a sigh and pushed herself up.

"I know that what happened with Bella was a terrible thing but you can't keep blaming yourself. You weren't driving that bus you were just waiting for her. I didn't know her personally but I'm sure she would never want you to blame yourself. She would want you to move on and let someone else show you the love she couldn't. For the past year I've been showing you in every way possible how much I love you but you keep pushing and pushing and Edward I feel like I'm going to fall off a cliff any day now. I can't keep doing this Edward. I've hit a dead end and don't know where to go from here."

As I looked into her beautiful brown eyes I saw the tears running down her face in a stream and her eyes puffy from all the crying. I also saw the pain in them, the pain that I had caused her. Here was this beautiful, sweet, loving and caring girl that stood by me for the last few years and has done nothing but love me and helped me through the difficult times and I was pushing her away. I was pushing away the one person that I once felt something for and that I now loved being with. I loved the way she took care of me, the long talks we had about life and books, the way her smile brightened up my days, and her laugh made my heart beat faster, I loved everything she had to offer. I couldn't see myself without her. That was when it hit me. I loved Isabella. I loved her and here I was pushing her away. I vowed then and there that I would spend the rest of my life showing this beautiful girl how much I loved her and how much she deserved the entire world.

After that day I spent the next three years showing her how much she meant to me. We spent every moment that we had free together and we were inseparable during the years that followed. She was my best friend and surprisingly she won over all of my friends and family. She and Emmett loved each other like sister and brother and Alice and Rose loved her like their sister. Even Esme and Carlisle considered her their daughter and that was the final string. She and Esme were so similar that it made my heart swell with pride when I was with her. She reminded me so much of my mother and I was sure that one day she would be my wife and the mother of my children.

So here I stood dancing our first dance with my beautiful wife and feeling like the luckiest man alive. Isabella leaned in "What is my handsome husband thinking about?" she whispered and smiled up at me.

"Well Mrs. Cullen I am thinking about how I am the luckiest man alive. I don't deserve you Isabella but I'm glad you think I do" I smiled her favorite crooked grin looking down at her.

"Why yes you are but I know someone that is luckier then you." she said to me and I arched my eyebrow wondering who.

"And who would that be?" I asked curiously.

"Me" she whispered and pressed her lips against mine. I smiled against her lips and kissed her back. Kissing her always felt as wonderful as the first time. The electricity that surged through me and onto my lips was the best feeling in the world and only she could accomplish that.

Not realizing that the song had ended we kept our arms wrapped around each other and our lips pressed against one another. I could spend hours just tasting her luscious lips and it seemed like I wasn't going to let them go. That was until I heard a large booming laugh from behind us. We unlocked our lips and turned around to see my oaf of a brother and his wife Rosalie standing there looking at us.

"Well Eddiekins are you not going to let me dance with my now official sister?" he joked and grabbed Isabella's hand.

I let her go and asked Rose to dance. It was difficult to dance with Rose because of her ever growing stomach. She and Emmett had been married for 3 years now and were expecting their second set of twins any day now. She noticed my discomfort so she situated herself better so that I couldn't possibly hurt her. "Better dear brother. You know I am not that fragile." She sneered and chuckled. "I know but I don't want to hurt my little princesses." I smiled at her and saw how she swelled with pride when I mentioned her little girls. Rose always said that she loved her boys but that she couldn't wait for her little girls because the boys only preferred Emmett and she knew her girls would prefer her. She was the best mother and was the best pregnant women I'd ever seen in my years of being a doctor. Emmett always said she was always a happier person when she was pregnant and I couldn't agree more.

I looked over and saw how Isabella cheeks were a pure tomato color and she was chuckling at what Emmett was saying. Emmett being Emmett I'm sure he was saying some embarrassing things about me or her. Thinking that it was best to save Isabella Rose let go "Thank you Edward, now how about we go save your dear wife from my lovely husband" she turned and walked over to Emmett. After giving Emmett and Rose a hug Isabella turned to walk towards me but was stopped dead in her tracks by a very pregnant pixie.

"Isabella!! I want to dance with my brother so you can dance with Jasper!" she ran up to her and pushed Isabella towards Jasper, which was standing there laughing at his overzealous wife. "Mrs. Cullen can I have this dance?" Jasper asked in his Texas accent. She nodded and proceeded to dance with him. Alice made her way towards me and wrapped her arms around my neck. Even pregnant Alice was still as annoying and exuberant as ever. Being pregnant made her much more of a cheerful person and a much worst shopper. There wasn't one item that her baby didn't have. The worse part was knowing that when Isabella and I had ours it was going to be as hectic as it was for Emmett and Rose. Though the idea of our child made me swell with happiness.

"What are you thinking about Eddie?" Alice asked nosily.

"How hopefully soon my dear wife will be put to torture by your baby shopping frenzy." I chuckled and was welcomed with an elbow to the ribs. "Oww jeez Alice" I groaned as I rubbed my side. "Shopping is not torture. It is very therapeutic for your information." She sneered and wrapped her arms around me neck again. Deciding it was better to stay quiet I wrapped my arms around her and continued on with the dance.

At twelve I was ready to leave the party and spend time with my wife. Ever since our first dance we didn't have time to ourselves and I was desperately missing it. As we said goodbye to our family and friends I noticed Alice and Rose whispering in the corner and Isabella looking over at them with a smirk on her face. I didn't understand what that was all about but I definitely wanted to know. I decided to ask Isabella about that at a later time. Tonight was about her and I spending time with each other and enjoying being husband and wife. My heart filled with joy as I realized that she was officially my wife. Forever.
