This is my first fanfic. It's not a typical Edward and Bella one, the pairings end up being Emmett & Rosalie, Jasper & Bella, Carlisle & Esme. Edward and Bella are a couple at first but things change…

"Bella! C'mon, we're gonna be late for your own brother's wedding!" my best friend yelled through the door.

I rolled my eyes. "Well, Alice, if someone didn't take all morning to get ready, I wouldn't have to rush and make us late now, would I, bridesmaid?" I said as I opened the door.

Alice rolled her eyes and waved her hand dismissively. "Technicalities, maid of honor. Anyway, James and Edward will meet us there so let's go!" I sighed and followed her out to her Porsche. James, my boyfriend of two years, had been distancing himself from me. I hadn't noticed too much to tell the truth; I was starting to have feelings for Emmett's best man and my old boyfriend, Edward, and, of course, Alice knew and wanted it to happen. She hated James but loved Edward.

We got in the car and headed toward the chapel. I glanced over at Alice and saw her fidgeting in her seat. "Aly? Why are you so excited?"

She looked at me in disbelief. "Bells, you know why. I don't have any siblings and you and Emmett are the only family I have. Besides, Emmett invited some friends so I'm hoping I can find a guy and have a meaningless one night stand." Alice was an only child. Her mom died in childbirth and her dad never remarried. I met her when they moved next door and we have been friends ever since. Her dad died a few years ago from a heart attack and it was really hard on her. He left everything to her and he made a great living.

I looked at her. "Really, Aly? Slutty wedding sex?" She nodded and pulled in to park. As we walked up to the chapel, I saw Emmett pacing outside. He didn't hear me walk up behind him so he was startled when I spoke. "Well, look at that, Aly. Our big brother is all grown up!" I sniffled, wiping an invisible tear away.

He smiled and pulled me into a big bear hug. "Oh, Bells, thank you for coming."

"Where else would I be?" I smiled. "Um, Em? Can't breathe."

"Oh, sorry." He set me back on the ground and I straightened up his tie. I sighed. "Wow, you clean up very nice."

He chuckled. "You too, little sis." I rolled my eyes. He looked over at Alice and pulled her into a hug. "You sure look nice, pixie. What's the occasion?"

She opened her mouth to speak when I leaned in and whispered, "Slutty wedding sex." Her mouth dropped and she reached over to slap my arm. "Bella!"

Emmett and I started laughing. "No, actually, a certain surrogate brother of mine is getting married, that's why," she said matter-of-factly.

I nodded. "Right and slutty wedding sex has nothing to do with it?"

"Well, maybe a little." She held her fingers a centimeter apart.

"Yeah, a little," I said, lifting mine to mimic hers and then expand them as far as my thumb and finger would separate.

Emmett chuckled and nodded. "Well, take your pick. Just stay away from the guys with rings and Rose's assistant."

I laughed. "Why stay away from the assistant?"

"He doesn't play for the same team, if you know what I mean."

I laughed harder as Alice said, "Had any problems, Em?"

He turned to her. "Hush, you. Although, he would make a great shopping partner for someone who loves to go on expeditions to the mall on a weekly bases."

Alice squealed. "Where is he?" Emmett pointed to the guy over in the corner and she was off to introduce herself. I smiled, shaking my head. I looked up to my big brother. "I better go check on the bride; I'll see you in a bit. I love you, Em."

He embraced me with another hug. "Love you too, baby girl."

I made my way to the bride's room and knocked on the door. "Who is it?"

"It's Bella."

The door opened and I was yanked inside and pulled into a hug. I laughed. "Hi there. How goes it?"

She sighed. "Okay..."

"Nervous?"

Rosalie nodded.

I smiled. "It's okay, Rose, I just went and saw Emmett; he's just as nervous." I took a step back and looked at her. She was in a strapless dress with an exquisite design on the bodice and down to the hem. It was extravagant. "You look beautiful, Rose."

She smiled and pulled me into another hug. "You are the best maid of honor and almost-sister a girl could have."

I smiled and pulled away. "What are you talking about? I am your sister, always have been and always will be. I love you, big sis."

She smiled, tears in her eyes. "I love you too, little sis."

I walked out and talked with guests, said hi to my mom, Esme, and my dad, Carlisle, and then went out the doors to the foyer as Emmett walked in. I smiled and winked as I passed.

As we lined up outside the door, Rosalie's niece, Nessie, kept talking about her princess dress that looked like Rose's and twirled around for the skirt to flare out. The music started and the doors opened slightly, Nessie walked through dropping the rose petals as she walked. Alice waited ten seconds then followed Ness and then, ten seconds after that, I walked down the aisle, concentrating on not falling on my face. I looked at Emmett and smiled as I took my spot. I then glanced over at the best man, Edward, just to see him staring at me, smiling.

I smiled in return and looked him over. He looked handsome in his tux, his bronze hair in its normal disarray and his beautiful green eyes...

I glanced away, realizing I had stared at him a little too long. I turned away and looked at James but he was looking at Victoria, a curly redhead who worked with Rosalie. The wedding march started and I quickly looked away from James and down the aisle. The doors started opening fully but instead of watching Rose enter, I looked at my brother.

My favorite part of weddings is seeing the groom's reaction as the bride walks in. Emmett's reaction was what I was hoping for: as Rose walked in, his eyes widened and then he smiled the biggest smile I had ever seen on his face. Happy with that, I watched as Rosalie and her dad, Charlie, walked down the aisle. Charlie took Emmett's hand and placed Rosalie's in his as the preacher asked, "Who gives this woman to this man?"

Charlie simply said, with more emotion in his voice than ever, "I do," and turned to sit down. I had known Charlie for several years and he never really showed any strong emotion, but when it came to his only daughter, he was emotionally distraught.

Rosalie handed me her bouquet and put both her hands in Emmett's as the ceremony started. The preacher helped them through their vows and promises as they put on their rings and kissed as Rosalie Hale became Rosalie McCarty, my new sister.

After the guests filed out into the reception area, we took pictures and then went to the bathroom to fix our make up after crying. Once we were cleaned up we walked into the reception area to join the other guests. Alice and I split up to do our own thing and I found James talking to Victoria at the bar, a little too close for my comfort. I walked over to them and sat beside James, clearing my throat. He turned. "Hey beautiful," he said as he leaned in to kiss me.

Victoria stood up and smiled at me before looking at James again. "I'll talk to you later, James."

He nodded then turned back to me. "You want to dance?"

I shook my head. "No, James; you know I'm clumsy. Besides, I actually came to talk to you."

He shot back his drink and looked at me. "Ok, go."

"I think we need to break up."

"Bella, it's been two years."

"Yeah and I think its time to end it. We're obviously not on the same level and we want different things; for instance, you want Victoria."

He opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by the clinking of the champagne flute. "I gotta go give my speech. Bye James." I turned to walk away and I felt him grab my arm.

"Bella, you can't just dump me."

I turned and looked at his hand on my arm. "I just did, let go," I hissed.

He dropped my arm and put his hands up defensively.

"Goodbye James," I said quietly and walked to the front of the room as I heard him order another drink.

Edward handed me the microphone when I reached the stage, I turned and looked at the bride and groom "Em, Rose, I am so happy for you both and, finally, my big brother has settled down and given me a beautiful big sister. It took seven years but you finally did it. No joke, for those who don't know - they started dating in high school, continued through college and finally my brother got up the courage to ask her, even though we all knew what the answer would be." Tears started welling in my eyes. "I saw both of you today and you both were so nervous, but knew you were doing the right thing, and that right there makes me certain that you both are perfect for each other and will take care of each other. I also know that you will make it through anything." Tears started streaming down my face. "If you do hit any bumps in the road, they will be overcome because as long as you have as much faith in each other as you do now, fully trust and love one another you will have no problems." I glanced at Emmett, his eyes glistening from all the emotions of the day mixed with what I said, and then I looked at Rosalie. She was crying happy tears. I smiled at them then looked at Emmett. "And big brother, if you hurt her, I will happily kick your butt."

He laughed. "If I do, I'll let you." They stood and came to me, kissed my cheeks and enveloped me in a hug, whispering in my ear. "Thank you, Bella. Love you."

"Love you both more."

After the speech, Rose and Em cut the cake and fed each other. Emmett fed her politely, but Rosalie had other plans. She shoved the piece she held all over his face, earning a nice icing filled kiss from him.

The reception was dying down. I was at the bar looking at my phone checking the time when Alice came up to me. I turned and smiled. "Hey stranger, where have you been?"

"Well my dear, I found a very cute blue eyed hottie with curly blonde hair, so I'm gonna go and be back at the house later, okay?"

I nodded. "Okay, call me if you need a ride, have fun and I love you Aly-cat."

She smiled. "Love you more." She kissed my cheek and ran out the door.

Emmett and Rosalie left for their honeymoon an hour ago and the guests were still here enjoying the party. I'd had enough and just wanted to go home and go to sleep, so I grabbed my bag and threw my phone in and got the keys out. I was headed towards the door and when I was stopped by someone. I turned to see who it was.

I sighed. "What, James?"

"I just wanted to see what you were doing," he slurred.

"Well, I'm going home and going to bed."

"Need some company?"

"No, I'm going to bed alone. Are you drunk?"

"No...well, maybe." He started giggling like a schoolgirl.

I sighed, "Come on James, let's go. I'll take you home."

I put his arm around my shoulder and guided him out to the car. I almost fell and dropped James when I heard someone ask, "Do you need any help?"

I turned to see Edward and smiled. "Yes, please."

He grabbed James' other side and helped me set him in the car. He turned to face me. "You look good, Bella."

"You too, Edward."

He sighed. "Look, this is a bit forward, but would you like to go to dinner with me sometime?"

"Sure, how does tomorrow sound?"

"Tomorrow sounds great. Pick you up around eight?"

"Okay." I programmed my number in his phone and handed it back to him. "See you tomorrow."

I drove James home and dropped him off, leaving him a note in case it wasn't clear we were done, then headed home.

Once I got inside I looked at my phone and noticed I had a text message from an unknown number. I opened it and read:

Hey, this is my cell. What's your address so I can pick you up? -Edward

I stored his number and replied my address. I got a text a minute later.

K thanks. I'll see you tomorrow, cant wait- E

I smiled and shut my phone, setting it on the charger, and crashed on the bed.
