Bedward is the het ship between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen from the Twilight Saga fandom.

Twilight
Bella moves to a town called Forks, Washington to spend time with her father. There, she sees a group of teenagers who her friend Jessica tells her are the Cullens and Hales, adopted teenagers of Carlisle and Esme Cullen. They are all very beautiful and handsome, but act strange. Bella sits next to one of them, Edward, during her biology class, and he treats her meanly, sitting as far away from her as possible and later trying to switch classes so he wouldn't have to sit next to her. Later, her friend Jacob tells her some legends that the Cullens are vampires. Bella notices some strange things about Edward, such as super strength (pushing a van away and saving Bella's life), ice-cold skin, and super speed. After Edward saves Bella, and Bella insists on answers, he says it's best for the two of them to stay away from each other. Bella ends up dreaming about Edward and develops a strong crush on him and is strongly drawn to him and his irresistible charm. One day during lunch, Bella shyly makes eye contact with Edward and notices he is staring back at her, and sitting all alone instead of with his family like usual. Edward then winks at Bella and charismatically gestures her to come over with his pointer finger. Bella and Edward sit together during lunch and Bella feels like her heart will burst out of her chest from sitting alone with Edward and talking together. Later in biology, Bella gets sick and Edward carries her to the nurse and drives her home safe. One night, she is with her friends in Port Angeles when she is cornered by some thugs in an alley. Edward saves her and takes her out to dinner. The waitress, who Bella describes as a beautiful model, flirts with Edward and pays no attention to Bella. Edward doesn't even notice the waitress as he only has eyes for Bella. Later, Bella brings this up to Jessica, and Edward hears. Edward tells Bella he doesn't remember the waitress, and he was only paying attention to her and found it cute that Bella was surprised by this. Bella tells Edward what she believes, that she isn't beautiful, but Edward tells her that she is the most beautiful and would wish for her to see the truth and how he sees her. Edward makes sure Bella is safe and has something to eat, he gives her his coat at the restaurant. On the way home, she asks him about being a vampire. She discovers it is true, but says that it 'doesn't matter' because she loves him anyway. One day Edward takes Bella to a beautiful secluded meadow, with a bunch of lovely wildflowers. On this date, Bella asks Edward why he "hated" her so much when they first met. Edward admits to the reason that he was so mean to her at first was because the scent of her blood was so appealing to him, and he was trying not to attack her. He had never been so attracted to someone's scent before and he couldn't control himself, so much that he had to go to Alaska for a few days to be away from the temptation. One night Edward stays over at Bella's house and Bella is nervous yet excited to have him stay in her room, just the two of them. Edward then tells her that he usually watches Bella sleep and Bells is extremely embarrassed at first, since she frequently has dreams of Edward and talks in her sleep. Edward confesses that Bella said his name while sleeping multiple times, which encouraged Edward to not be so distant towards her. Bella is still super embarrassed and covers her face with her pillow, but Edward comforts her and admits that if he could sleep he would only dream of her aswell. Edward then politely asks Charlie, Bella's father, to have his permission to take Bella to meet his family, and play baseball, as they are now dating. At the Cullen's house where Bella meets Edward's lovely family, he plays the Lullaby he composed and wrote for Bella on his piano, the same lullaby he sometimes hums to Bella. This brings Bella to tears from how sweet and talented Edward is. They end up talking about Edward and his family's past. Later, when a vampire named James is tracking Bella, Edward comes to save her when James tricks Bella into coming to a ballet studio where he is waiting for her. James bites Bella, but Edward manages to suck the venom out while his siblings kill James. At the end, Edward surprises Bella to the prom. Bella is upset and embarrassed at first since she isn't the best dancer, but Edward tells her that he doesn't want Bella to miss out on human activities because of him, and will do all the dancing for her. Bella tells him that she would have missed out on the prom anyways, and it wouldn't be his fault at all, but Edward insists on Bella having the best human experiences because he loves and cares for her. Bella ends up enjoying the dance, but only because she gets to spend it with Edward. She begs Edward to turn her into a vampire because she loves and wants to be in his life forever, but Edward doesn't want Bella to suffer the true consequences of no longer being human. He kisses her and her neck, teasing Bella as if he were going to turn her into a vampire at the very prom. Bella doesn't give up on becoming a vampire even after Edward's disapprovals, but she realizes that moments like these with Edward are more than enough, and more than what she feels like she will ever deserve.

New Moon
Bella becomes upset because it is her eighteenth birthday and she is physically older than Edward (who is 17, yet technically 118). Edward gives Bella a very meaningful gift that brings her to tears, a CD of the lullaby (Bella's Lullaby) Edward wrote and composed for her. During Bella's birthday party Alice organized for her Jasper attempts to attack her after she got a paper cut. Out of reflex, Edward pushes Bella away in order to protect her. This causes Edward immense pain and guilt since he believes he only brings pain to Bella, and it is unnatural for a human to be with a vampire. Later, Bella notices that Edward is acting strange, and one day he tells her that he has to leave her, for her own good. He tells Bella he doesn't want her, which turns out to be a blasphemous lie, yet Bella believes Edward since she wonders why someone as perfect in her eyes would ever even give someone like her a chance. When Edward leaves, Bella sinks into a state of depression where she doesn't talk to any of her friends or do anything but sit all day. She has horrible nightmares and wakes up screaming at night. During this time, she finds that Jacob can make her feel better, and she spends time with him, but the hole in her heart is still wounded. Bella finds that if she is about to do something reckless or dangerous, Edward's voice will speak to her, begging her not to. So she cliff-dives to hear his voice and almost dies. Alice, Edward's sister, has the power of seeing the future, and sees Bella jumping off of a cliff. Thinking that she was committing suicide, she boards a plane for Forks. Edward finds out that she did this and calls her house. Jacob answers the phone and Edward asks where Charlie is, and Jacob responds, "At the funeral", because Charlie was at a funeral for a friend of his who died. Edward thinks that Charlie is going to Bella's funeral, and goes to Italy, where he can ask the Volturi (the vampire elders) to kill him too. Bella goes to Italy with Alice, where she stops Edward from revealing himself to the humans just in time, and they all go back to Forks. Edward reveals that he was tracking Victoria, James's wife, who was hunting Bella. Edward says he won't ever leave her again, since they both realize they need and love each other too much, and when they're apart it only brings pain and near death experiences.

Eclipse
Bella tells Edward that before he turns her into a vampire, she wants to have sex with him. He agrees, but only under one condition: she marries him first. Bella is worried by the prospect of marriage, but agrees later. Victoria leads an army of newborn vampires to kill Bella, and Edward fights for her with his siblings and the werewolves.

Breaking Dawn
Edward and Bella marry and have a honeymoon on Isle Esme, an island that belongs to Edward's mother. There, they have sex, but as Edward is a vampire and Bella is not, he accidentally bruises her all over. She doesn't mind, but he refuses to have sex with her again because he doesn't want to hurt her. Bella tries to make him, but he won't. Finally, one night, she wakes up crying because she had a dream about them having sex and wanted it to be real. Edward finally agrees. But later, Bella finds out that she is pregnant with a rapidly-growing half vampire-half human baby, and Edward is furious because there are stories of such babies killing the woman carrying them. Edward believes that they should abort the baby, but Bella already loves it and refuses. They find out that the baby needs blood, and Bella drinks some, which helps her for a bit. But when she goes into labor, she has to have an emergency C-Section, which kills her. Edward bites her everywhere so that she can become a vampire, but when she doesn't, Edward becomes distraught. Suddenly, she awakens as a healthy vampire. During the battle with the Volturi, Edward and Bella fight together. Then, they live together with their daughter Renesmee.

Children

Right before she is born her mother thinks she is a boy and comes up with name EJ (Edward Jacob) but just in case the baby is a girl she decides to name her Renesme, which she is revealed to be.

Quotes
"The bond forged between us was not one that could be broken by absence, distance or time. And no matter how much more special or beautiful or brilliant or perfect than me he might be, he was as irreversibly altered as I was. As I would always belong to him, so would he always be mine."

-Bella on her and Edward's bond

''“Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars—points of light and reason….And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything.”''

-Edward to Bella

''“He would lean down suddenly and kiss me—his glass-smooth lips brushing against my hair, my forehead, the tip of my nose. Each time it was like an electric shock to my long dormant heart. The sound of its beating seemed to fill the entire room.”''

-Bella to Edward

"The light reflecting from the pavement of the square gleamed dimly from his skin. I’d never seen anything more beautiful—even as I ran, gasping and screaming, I could appreciate that. And the last seven months meant nothing. And his words in the forest meant nothing. And it did not matter if he did not want me. I would never want anything but him, no matter how long I lived."

-Bella to Edward
