I'm Back! This is the sequel to Closing Midnight. I really don't know what to name it, suggestions anyone? This is a long chapter for me; take it as a New Year's gift. Hope everyone has a brilliant 2010! I also have a one-shot ready, but I'm not sure whether to post it or not... you'll see tomorrow :) Hope you enjoy!

Jacob was kissing me. I was running my hands through his silky black hair and down his muscled chest. His kisses became more intense and powerful. He wanted me. I was in pure paradise.

"Wake up, baby!"

I groaned. Why now? What harm would five extra minutes have done? Except let me have the perfect time with Jake…

"Renesmee, honey, not that I don't want you to sleep, but if you don't wake up now Alice might get annoyed she won't have enough time to get you ready. You should have more energy on your wedding day, you know!" Dad was smiling at me as I lazily opened my eyes.

Wedding day? I immediately sprung to life. Today, I was getting married. That's right; I was six years old and getting married. I made to get out of bed, but dad stopped me. He cleared his throat.

"Renesmee, I want to talk to you. You are one of the most important people in my life. I love you so much, and I can't believe I have to give you up now. I just want you to know, that no matter how old you are you will always be my little girl. Nothing can change that, not even you marrying Jacob. If you ever need me, for anything, even if you just want a hug from your daddy, I'll be here. Jasper and Emmett too, you will always be their little niece and all of us would do anything for you baby, don't forget that. I'm so proud of you for everything you've done so far, and everything I know you will do in the future. I couldn't be happier for you; and that's the truth."

I felt the tears welling up. "Thanks, Dad. That means a lot, but you're not giving me up. I'll always be yours. Just think of it as sharing, Jacob will be my husband, but you will still and forever be my dad. I love you." Of course the tears would fall now; I'd been awake for all of five minutes and I'm bawling already. Dad crushed my into a hug whispering "my baby" and hiding his face in my hair.

After about five minutes, dad pulled away and said, "We better head up to the house, Alice and Rose will be getting stressed." I nodded in agreement, but the bang of our door distracted me.

"Nessie, Nessie, Nessie!" Uh-oh. A pair of strong arms grabbed my waist and flung me over his shoulder. Emmett ran from the cottage without an explanation; I briefly caught dad's face break into a grin as Emmett ran with me the entire way to the house. Emmett came to an abrupt stop at the back entrance to the house and set me down.

"That was fun, huh Nessie?" He grinned like a kid.

"Well, I wouldn't have minded a little notice…" He flicked my nose playfully. I turned to face the window, and shrieked as a pale face was pressed flat against the window staring at me, eyes bulging. Emmett laughed hysterically, and Jasper emerged from the house, also laughing.

"Gotcha, kid." He lifted me up and began spinning me around, vampire speed. It wasn't long before I felt dizzy. He sensed it and put me down. I wobbled a bit, but Jasper held me tightly.

I frowned. "What's with everyone treating me like a child today? Emmett, we haven't run like that in ages. Jazz, you used to do that years ago, when I was tiny! I'm getting married today! "

Jasper looked down at me from his lanky frame. "Nessie, you're still tiny, so don't be stupid. You're still six, therefore a child so we can treat you like a child at times if necessary. Besides, you're right. You are getting married and we won't have a much fun together anymore. You'll be with Jacob all the time."

I hated when people got all sentimental on me. "Don't be stupid! Of course we will have as much fun. Jasper, I'm still going to fight you until I win; everyday of forever if I have too, and Emmett, we will still be going hunting together. I love showing you up getting the best grizzlies! You two are the best uncles any girl could wish for. I love you both!"

Jasper grinned, hugging me again. "We love you too Nessie, but for the record, you will never beat me." I laughed. I wondered why Emmett was joining in the hugging. I turned to face him, and his expression was hilarious. His eyebrows were pulled together in a frown, and his lips were pouted. He looked like a two year old who hadn't gotten his way.

"What's wrong, Emmett?"

"You do not get the biggest grizzly." He was still pouting. I rolled my eyes at him but ran and jumped into his arms, holding his neck to hug him.

"Well…" I said slowly. I looked at him, trying not to laugh. "Only joking."

"Good!" He shouted. "Now, let's get you inside!"

The house was buzzing. Esme blindfolded me under Alice's orders and pulled me up the staircase into Rosalie's room. She pecked my cheek.

"Oh, Nessie! I can't believe you're getting married. It seemed like just yesterday when I was feeding you and you were so small. Look at you now! All grown up, this is wonderful!" My grandma was glowing and looked like she was about to break down crying, if that were possible. I hugged her gently before she grinned and rushed off to begin cooking for the guests.

There were a lot of werewolves coming, and they would need a lot of food. Esme was overjoyed to be cooking for them. I wandered around Rosalie's room; sitting on her bed waiting for my Auntie's to appear. Mom was at Charlie's hotel at the minute, and then she was going to pick up my dress from the store. Alice had gotten it made especially, her design, and the dressmaker had insisted on it being picked up on the day since the bridesmaid dresses were being cleaned there as well. Alice and Rosalie were my bridesmaids. My mom wasn't one, because that would be too weird, even for us. I couldn't have any of my friends as bridesmaids, not that I even really had any. I had some back in Forks, but we had to leave there when someone threatened our secret. A few days after Jacob proposed to me, we moved to Corvallis, Oregon. It was a good location for us; enough rain and cloud cover for us to be inconspicuous. It wasn't that far from Forks, mom was happy here because she wouldn't have to travel half the world to visit Charlie. Esme had bought a magnificent house here, and decorated it perfectly. Only about a mile away from the house small cottages existed. Esme had bought all three of them, simply because they were beautiful. There were often used by my mom, dad and me, but when Jacob and I married we would live in them most of the time.

Ah, Jacob. He really was giving up so much for me, for us. We had come to a compromise with Sam's pack and it had taken a while. Sam and Emily had a little baby girl, Whitney. The problem was that Emily was human and Sam wasn't, so Emily would age while Sam wouldn't. Sam wanted to give up being a werewolf now, and be an Elder like Billy, or Sue. His plan was to leave Jake as the only Alpha, but since we moved away it couldn't happen. Sam is twenty-eight now, and Emily is twenty-four. Of course, Sam could pass for in his thirties and Emily looked young. Sam reckons he has just over ten years before Emily will catch up with him physically, so he is willing to stay Alpha until then. Leah was willing to go back to Sam's pack now, because of the whole Keith-imprint-thing. She had no reason to resent Sam now; she simply wasn't in love with him anymore. Now there was only one pack again and Sam was still the Alpha until he gave up, when Jake would take over. As I said, Corvallis isn't that far from Forks so Jacob can check into the pack regularly and will be there for any serious meetings or fights. It's a six and a half hour drive to Forks from where we live, and that's when normal people drive. Not super-fast vampire or werewolf driving. We could probably run in half the time. It was the perfect location.

I was snapped out of my reverie when my Aunt's finally came into Rose's room, pulling a cart of beauty supplies. That's right, an actual cart. Alice fixed a chair with a stack of bridal magazines to keep me occupied. She looked up at me properly for the first time.

"Renesmee, what on earth is wrong with your hair? What have you done?!" She shouted.

What was she talking about? I glanced in the mirror. Oh, I see. My waist length bronze curls were knotted everywhere and sticking out in random directions. There was even a leaf in it. It was really big and static. "Well, Alice, I never had time to brush it this morning before Em came and kidnapped me, and ran the whole ran through the forest with me on his shoulders. Leaves must be caught in it, and then Jazz spun me around, which probably didn't help the state of it…"

She sighed. "I'm going to have a word with them. They should be more careful. It's your hair, after all." I nodded in agreement.

Rosalie grabbed a brush and yanked it through my knots. I screamed. "Shh, Nessie, or it'll take longer." She continued pulling through the impossible mess. Next, she led me to the bathroom and washed my hair with a strawberry shampoo, which smelt lovely. Rosalie wanted to keep my hair curly, because Jacob liked that best. Half-way through the hair-drying process, Alice stopped.

"Bella, Charlie and Sue are back!" My grandpa and step-grandma were staying at a hotel, so they could be here quicker. Mom knew Charlie wouldn't let her or Edward drive normally, and neither had the patience on my wedding day, so Charlie decided he and Sue would stay at a nearby hotel with Jacob and Seth, so they could get here easier. I was glad grandpa was here, I wanted him to be. The day Jake and I told him of our engagement, he fainted. Jake caught him and we sat with him until he came around. He asked questions, we explained about the imprint and its meaning which helped Charlie understand the situation. He accepted it finally. I could hear the rough movement downstairs, Sue speaking to Esme offering to help cook, Charlie conversing with my dad. Mom fluidly entered the room, laying the dresses out on Rose's bed, before coming to join my aunt's in making me beautiful.

One hour later, I was standing in the middle of the huge room with my mom. I was worried she would have given me another speech, I'd already cried at Dad's and my uncles, but she didn't. We went hunting last night, just us, and she said what she wanted then. I stepped into the wide dress and pulled it up over my body. Mom tugged the back, pulling the buttons together. I could hardly breathe.

"It's so tight." I moaned.

Mom laughed. "Of course it is, Renesmee, it's a corset. It's the most fashionable thing now; of course you have one, thanks to Alice."

I sighed; she was right. I'd have to bear it. I turned around and looked at myself in the mirror for the first time. The dress caught my attention. It was so beautiful; Alice had done amazing at finding it. The corset pulled in all the right places, accentuating my curves. The satin feel was smooth against my skin and the soft swirly pattern along the corset looked so beautiful. Where the corset stopped, the bottom of my dress flowed freely, gliding out at my hips to the floor. The train had some small diamonds on it, an extra bit of detail. The train worked perfectly with my tiara. My hair, a small bit twisted on top of my head so the tiara could fit, fell in perfect ringlets. My skin was flawless, as was my makeup.

I owed Rosalie, Alice and my mom my life for making me look like this. I loved them.

"It's perfect Mom, thank you." Alice and Rosalie bounced in, only a second later, in their silver dresses.

"Yay!" Alice trilled. "I knew you'd love it. Anyway, time to go!"

Was she joking? I hadn't heard everyone arrive, hadn't noticed mom changing. I hadn't taken notice of the soft music playing downstairs. I was out of time for preparation. The nerves kicked in.

"Wait!" Mom squealed. We all looked at her. "She needs something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue."

"I can solve that." Daddy walked into the room, holding a box. He opened it and Mom gasped. "Honey, Bella had these when she married me. They were your grandma Renee's. We thought you'd like them." Mom slid the blue hair clips into my curls.

"Thanks, dad, mom." I grinned. "Something borrowed?"

Rosalie came back into the room, holding a thin silver necklace. At the end of the chain there was the letter R. It was small, and beautiful. "Emmett got me it for one of our anniversaries, it has real diamonds. I'm going to need it back." She smiled at me, her perfect teeth glittering. She clasped the necklace on; it worked perfectly with the dress.

"It's perfect Rose, thanks." I was glad we had the same initials.

"Nessie, it's time." Dad said, taking a deep breath. I mimicked his actions. I was nervous, beyond belief. I wanted to marry Jacob, of course, but it was just the whole concept of getting married. I'd be okay once I saw Jacob. Dad linked arms with me and kissed my cheek.

"Love you, Nessie."

"Love you too, Daddy. Thanks." I smiled.

"I love you too, Renesmee!" Mom chimed in.

"I know, Mom. Love you too."

"I love you all!" I looked around, and Emmett was bouncing in his tux. "Bella, you're needed downstairs. I was sent to get you. So now we've established how much we love each other, can I take Bella downstairs?"

We all laughed, and Emmett walked away with mom. "I'm ready." I said. I faintly heard the music play from below, thanks to Jacob's sister Rachel. Alice and Rosalie left the room, beginning the journey down the spiral staircase. I clutched dad's arm tighter. I think I forgot how to walk, because dad seemed to be pulling me. Or, maybe I was imagining things. At the top of the staircase, I could see Alice and Rose walking down the aisle, all eyes on them and their astounding beauty. How could I follow them?

Slowly, I made my way down the steps, in my killer cream stilettos. Not that I was worried about falling, but it added to the effect. One of our guests, a vampire for that matter, could not keep his eyes of Bella, and I heard Dad growl quietly. Typical, you'd think he'd be used to it with mom being so beautiful. The music changed, and all the guests stood and faced me. That was my cue. Holding my dad, I walked down the aisle with the biggest grin on my face. My mom seemed to be tearlessly sobbing and Charlie was shedding a few tears. That's when Jacob came into my vision. He was unbelievable, perfectly perfect. He was glowing almost, his happiness radiating out from him. I felt exactly the same. Dad took my hand and placed it into Jacob's. Jacob squeezed it gently. That was the official "giving away" part. The minister spoke a few words about my dad giving me away, and I could see him choke up. He went and sat beside Mom, holding her hand. Mine was firmly in Jake's. The minister carried on talking about love, and we did the traditional vows.

"Do you, Renesmee Carlie Cullen, take Jacob Black, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better and for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in heath; from this day forward as long as you both shall live?"

I smiled, trying not to make it obvious that I was crying. "I do."

"And, do you, Jacob Black, take Renesmee Carlie Cullen to have and to hold from this day forward, for better and for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in heath; from this day forward as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." His voice broke. Seth was Jacob's best man. He couldn't decide between Quil and Embry so they are both Usher's at the door and have their own entertainment spots during the night. Seth was the first person in Jacob's pack; Jake wanted to thank him for believing in him. Seth passed Jacob the rings, which we slid on to each others finger.

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The minister spoke loudly. Jacob took my face in his hands, tracing around my eyes.

"You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." Without giving me a moment to respond, he pressed his lips to mine. A powerful kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck unwillingly to let go, running my hands through his hair. Too soon, we broke apart. Hand in hand, we made our way to our families.

This was the first moment in my forever with Jacob.
