CHAPTER 31: ALMOST PERFECT (Edward's POV)

"Throw it Mom!" Renesmee sang, standing amongst the group of women who were now crowded behind my Bella. They were waiting for her to throw her bouquet and were begining to get impatient. Women and their tradition's, something I'll never understand, even if I do live until the end of time. Today had been perfect, Bella had looked truly ... well there was no word's to describe how utterly, heartbreakingly beautiful she had looked. If had not been for Tanya and her malicious meddling, then today would have easily topped our first wedding. But Tanya had meddled, and as a result the Volturi were more eager to defeat us now than they had ever been. I had not told Bella this of course, actually I had not told anyone what I had heard. Everyone had been so caught up in the wedding that they hadn't thought to ask. Carlisle had contemplated asking once or twice, before deciding he didn't want to be responsible for ruining our day any more than it already had been.

"Well done sweetheart" Bella cheered, snatching me back from my thoughts. I glimpsed to see Renesmee now clutching the bouquet Bella had just thrown. 'Man, does this mean something?' Jacob thought, I turned slightly and caught his eye. He must have realised I heard him because he instantly began reciting the alphabet. Seth was nudging him suggestively and laughing, while Jacob tried to keep the sheer joy he was feeling from showing on his face. My mind instantly recalled the conversation between Bella and myself after I told her that Jacob had collected his mother's ring from his late father's house. Bella briefly threw me a worried glance over her shoulder, letting me know that she was thinking the same as me. I pasted a smile back on my face and stepped forward, wrapping my arm around my wife's waist as I did,  

"We really must leave now" I said, addressing not only Bella, but the entire room.  

"Yeah, sure" Bella agreed, reaching out to pull our daughter close to her. "You be good" she whispered into her hair.  

"I will Mom" Ness promised, hugging her back. Nessie turned to me next, "Have a nice time Dad" she smiled, jumping up into my arm's,  

"We will darling" I assured her, wrapping my arm's around her as tight as possible. The longest we had ever been away from Renesmee was 2 night's. I had wanted to bring her with us, but Bella had rightly argued that we deserved this time alone and that she would be perfectly safe at home with the family. Still, I was going to miss her desperately. But we were only going for a week, what could possibly go wrong in a week? Well, in this family, plenty. But I wasn't going to focus on that right now.  

"Dad, you can let go now" Nessie giggled into my ear. I smiled widely, holding her for a moment more, before setting her back down on her feet. She danced back over and stood next to Esme and Carlisle while me and Bella said our good-bye's to the rest of our family and friend's. We quickly began to make our way around the group standing before us.

"Keep an eye on the dog" I whispered jokingly in Rosalie's ear as she stepped forward to bid me farewell.  

"Already on it" she winked as she turned to speak with Bella. I smiled briefly to myself, and turned toward's two of the only people left to speak with,
