Although I'd like to, I do not own Twilight. Or Edward. Or Jasper. Or any other characters. That privilege belongs to Stephenie Meyer.

Chapter 1 – Union

"Damn it," he growled, kissing hungrily down the edge of my jaw.

"We have plenty of time to work on it," I reminded him.

"Forever and forever and forever," he murmured.

"That sounds exactly right to me."

And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of our forever.

10 years later

I walked slowly through the forest with my husband towards the large, white house. I had been dreading this day for years and yet it was inevitable that it eventually would come.I turned my head and stared into the deep, golden, ochre eyes of the love of my existence. Even now, I had to keep reminding myself that he wasn't a dream; that someone so stunning could actually exist. He smiled his crooked smile at me and in a voice like velvet whispered:

"Bella, love, its okay."

It wasn't okay, not really, but I couldn't help feeling a little reassured.

"Is it Edward? Is it really?"

"Yes, everything's going to be fine," and he bent down and kissed my forehead with his soft, perfect lips. I looked round and realised that we had reached the river. In one fluid, graceful bound we were across and at the back door of Carlisle and Esme's house. Cautiously, we stepped inside.I was greeted with a sight that would have brought tears to my eyes if I was able to cry. My daughter, my precious Renesmee. Technically, only nine years old. Physically, about eighteen. Her dress was long and flowing, simplistic, yet extraordinarily beautiful. I didn't know it was possible for her beauty to be magnified further, but Alice was an artist when it came to weddings. I should know."Mom!" she cried and ran into my arms.

"Nessie. My Nessie," I sighed and hugged her as tightly as I could without breaking her ribs.

"Look at you. My daughter all grown up," Edward whispered in a voice so quiet no human would have been able to hear.

"Dad! I didn't think you were coming!"

"And miss the chance to walk my baby down the aisle?"

"Well, you know, things between you and Jake have been a little tense recently and-"

"And you honestly thought I'd stand you up?"

"Well-"

"Don't worry, Ness, I'll be civil to Jacob. I'm just about ready to put the past behind me."

Alice suddenly rushed into the room in a long purple gown, holding a bouquet.

"It's time," she said, her voice trembling with excitement. I said goodbye to Renesmee Cullen for the last time. In a few minutes she would be Nessie Black.I walked with Edward into the light spacious room and took my seat between him and Jasper in the front row. Jasper instantly made me feel calm and I sighed with relief. My eyes hovered over the 6ft 11 inches of werewolf that would soon be my son in law. I found myself giggling when I thought of how things were between us before. Seth stood up and grabbed hold of Jacobs's shoulders, trying to calm him down. I didn't know what to feel. My head was a spinning vortex of different, conflicting emotions and for the first time in ten years, I couldn't think straight. Then all too quickly, the wedding march began and we all rose from our seats.
