The wedding ceremony was as wonderful as Edward could ever have dreamed it to be. Bella was a beautiful bride. The vows went off without a hitch and they were finally pronounced husband and wife.

After the ceremony, Edward took Bella out for dinner. It wasn't a traditional reception by any means but they still celebrated their marriage. After they finished dinner, they retired to their room and their wait had finally ended.

Edward held Bella as she slept. He traced a finger over her jawline, pulling her closer gently. It had been a wonderful experience, he had shared the best experience with Bella that he could ever have hoped for but it had come at a price.

Edward gazed down at her exposed shoulder, a bruise already forming on her skin. It was just one of many that littered her body and he frowned. He couldn't believe that he had hurt Bella this way. He hadn't meant to. At the time, he hadn't thought that he was hurting her. They both were caught up in the moment, but now, now all he could see is the various bruises all over Bella's body.

Edward pulled the blanket over Bella's shoulder, pulling her closer and just watched his wife sleep.
