All I Ever Wanted
Chapter One: Forever
Esme asked, therefore we do. Not the way a child does what a parent tells them to do, but the way you do something you don't want to do for someone you love unconditionally. Esme asked us to fix a couple of things in the back yard that Alice and Rosalie "forgot" to do. More like leave it for the boys to do so they don't get in trouble work. Good luck on that one.
Emmett, Jasper, and I were stuck outside, where I didn't want to be, cleaning up sticks, leaves, and such from the grounds for at least the next hour. Everyone's thoughts were circulating around Bella. Was she going to fall down the steps. Did the dress fit right? How should her hair be done? Hope. Joy. Happiness. Sadness? Ah Charlie. He had to say his good bye today, and he some how knew that.
I decided I was just adding to my own anxiety by listening to everyone and blocked most of them out, except Alice. She was going to let me know when the guests would be close so I could get ready. Right now she was singing "We're going to the chapel, and we're gonna get married." Quite funny really. I didn't want to know what Bella was going to look like, I wanted to see it for myself when she walked down the stairs in just two short hours.
I had just picked up a branch in the yard when Jasper's thoughts struck me as odd, he was shouting them. I have never seen him like this. He is the happiest I have ever seen him. Edward has found his mate. He deserves her, not matter what he says.
"You don't care?" I was puzzled. Not once did he think of Bella, on her day. No his thoughts were centered around me. How odd.
Emmett huffed dramatically, like he always did. He hated when I pulled a question from someone's thoughts and didn't let him in. He just eyed Jasper up, like an opponent sizing up his target.
"Don't care about what?" What was I thinking? All I said was he's happier then I have ever seen him in these many years.
I frowned ever so slightly. I hadn't realized I had been that miserable. " Everyone is obsessing over Bella, and you are thing of me? This is her day to shine, not mine. I just get the gift under the wrapping paper" Emmett laughed rather loudly scaring the birds in the trees and winked at me.
"No one ever thinks of the groom. Right now even doing this meaningless work you are oozing happiness, and I have nothing to do with it. I have only felt this one other time." and he was wrapped up in his memories.
He was remembering the first time he met Alice. He was cold, wet, thirsty and angry at himself. Jasper's emotions were obvious even in his memory. Hatred. He hated who he was and what he was about to do. He needed to feed. Out of all the emotions he was feeling in the small café he felt Alice's the strongest. She was in love. The love she was feeling was suffocating to Jasper. He didn't know how to respond, but when she approached him, he felt it himself and understood. This was his mate.
His memories flickered to me and Bella. It was the first time she came to the house. She seemed so brave, and me I was scared. Or at least that is what I thought. Jasper had a different way of looking at things. He felt her awkwardness and my… love? I was giving the same suffocating love that Jasper felt when he first saw Alice in that little room.
"Ah, I see now. " I broke the revere "You know she will be fine… because of my love for her?"
His face became indignant then. "No! I know everything will be fine because of love, not just yours, but the love that we all have, the love we share. Make sense?"
"Lost me!" Emmett could be so dense sometimes. Even for those who didn't have my gift could know what he was thinking. His face said it all. Confusion.
Jasper was the first to speak. He was much more experienced on this stuff then me. "We all care for her Emmett. Not a single one of us would let anything happen to her. Even Rose. She wouldn't let anyone hurt her." Jasper made a face that had me laughing. He acted like he was explaining this to a five year old.
"Geeze Edward. You haven't killed her yet. Nothing is going to happen. You and your super self-control." Emmett just smirked at me Bring it on Kid! he thought goading me on.
He had no way of knowing it was coming. I saw it but he didn't. Jasper launched himself at Emmett and flattened him to the ground. The wooden bench Emmett was sitting on was reduced to toothpicks as they wrestled on the ground. This surely wouldn't go unnoticed by our mother.
Sure enough Esme was on top of things. She just walked out the back sliding glass doors. "Boys!" The sight that met her was funny. The two of them popped up off the ground brushing debris from there street clothes looking completely innocent. I couldn't help myself, I burst out with a very loud laugh, receiving dirty looks from my brothers.
"That's enough. Clean up this mess you two made. Alice says everyone will start arriving in thirty minutes." She smiled the biggest smile I had ever seen and walked away. I'm so happy for him. Edward getting married. What a wonderful thing.
I had to get Emmett back. His back was to me as we started to walk in the house. I decided the best way to attack him was have the element of surprise. I ran up, picked him up by his waist, flipped him over and ran as fast as I could into the house. I heard some cursing coming from behind "Happy Punk" was all I heard from him as I closed the door to Carlisle and Esme's room. Just think, we still have forever. I will get you back
"Are you ready Edward?" Carlisle just looked at me expectantly.
