A/N. Wow, it's been ages since I've written about this story - sorry for the slow typing. I decided about midnight last night that I needed to finish this chapter before I go away on holidays. So hear it is!

Please, I'm aiming to get up to 10 reviews for both chapters - Please R&R!


Bella's POV

Alice excitedly jumped out of the car; I hopped out more slowly and picked Renesme out from the back.

"Bella, I happen to know that Jessica will be annoyed if you don't hurry up. And you really don't want to annoy Jess today, not when you know the surprise!" the last word ended as a squeal so I grabbed my bag and rushed to her side.

"Alright! Though no doubt I will hate this surprise and not just because Jess is involved." I retorted angrily. I was going to add more to my rant but we'd reached the front door, which, without knocking Jessica immediately opened.

After a rather gushed welcoming, Jess led us through her house to the living room – where everybody was standing around talking. I noticed that Mike looked up and smiled as soon as we walked in, did he still fancy me? If Edward could break Jacob's nose, I'd hate to think what he'd be able to do to Mike.

Jessica walked over to Mike and took his hand and smiled at her mum, who was standing proudly next to her.

"Thanks to everybody for coming on such late notice – and for doing so without knowing why. I decided to hold this party today because Forks has a reason to celebrate…Mike & I am getting married!"

What?

Everybody began cheering and clapping at once. Alice elbowed me in the side to wake me from my shock. Jess and Mike? Wow, maybe opposites do attract – dumb opposites. However, that it seemed, was not the end of the surprises. Jessica looked up from where she was having a conversation with Mike, Angela and Ben and addressed the party again.

"Sorry everybody. Mike's just reminded me that I needed to speak to some people in private." She pointed off in another direction, "Alice, Angela, Renesme, Lauren and Bella please." The whole situation made me feel like I'd been caught with my friends doing something wrong; and being called up to the principal's office.

"Hey guys, thanks again for coming – I'm still so shocked and excited about the engagement, but I'm hoping that you'll all agree to my next favour. I'd like you all to take part in my wedding – as my Maid of Honour, Bridesmaids and so on." Jessica seemed to have turned into a mini Alice – all hyped up and ready to just break into a dance.

"Um, I was hoping Bella, that you'd allow Renesme to be my flower girl – all my cousins are too old, and she just seemed perfect for it. Alice, I've always admired your clothes and just over-all fashion. So I was hoping that, it's a lot, but if you'd plan my wedding; be Mike's and my wedding planner." Alice had already had started nodding her head before Jess had finished.

From what she was asking Alice to do, I completely understood why Alice had been so keyed up to come over as soon as possible. The last time that she (and Esme) had a chance to plan a wedding was mine. None of the other three couples had yet found the need to renew their vows.

I focused back into what Jess had continued to say, "Angela, Bella and Lauren, I'd all really like for you all three to be my bridesmaids. Alice, again, because you'll be my wedding planner; I'd also like you to be my Maid of Honour." Alice looked stunned – I was too – but Jessica had obviously just made that decision, Alice hadn't had any warning vision of the new corner.

Looking as if she wanted to cry, I just hugged Alice and smiled. It was nice when somebody, especially a human, could surprise her.


Renesme's POV (It's not long, I just wanted to try something new)

I was having such a good day; I'd met Jessica before while I was in town with Mum a couple of months back, when I'd been smaller. She hadn't made much of an impression – but the happiness that she gave Aunty Alice when she asked her to plan her wedding, but also her Maid of Honour. Uncle Jasper had told me later about her happiness, Aunty Alice had never been a human's Maid of Honour – and marriage isn't something that vampires celebrate religiously.

All the adults were hugging and laughing when Mike came in, looking for his fiancée. I'd never met him before today – he seemed to be okay, he made Jessica smile so happily when he teased or just laughed along with her. Just like Mum and Dad; or anybody else in the family.

It wasn't a very long party, just long another for Jessica and Mike to tell Aunty Alice the basics that they wanted for the wedding. They'd decided on a traditional church wedding; but had expressed their interest on an either indoor or outdoor reception. The only thing for the date they'd chosen was to be during the next year; preferably autumn.

Aunty Alice had wanted to drive into Port Anglesea to begin on the invitations and other bits immediately, but mum wanted to get back home – the surprises had kept on coming all day. I didn't mind though, for once I'd get to experience a completely normal human celebration.

We finally got home, and I didn't bother waiting for Mum to pick me out of the backseat; I just jumped out and ran over to where Dad and Uncle Jasper were sitting patiently on the front porch for us.

"Dad! I'm going to be a flower girl!" I giggled as he picked me up and swung me around. He was smiling as well and kissed my cheek.

"I knew Jessica from high school, it was nice of her to think of you; but also let you and your Mum to take part." Uncle Jasper smirked at this comment. Reaching over from my Dad's arms I touched his hand lightly.

Even though I could speak perfectly, and now preferred to rather then showing it, I almost always did for Uncle Jasper. He was an empathic; so he understood me without me having to use words or pictures.


Jasper's POV

I smirked at Edwards' comment about Jessica being so kind in allowing our girls to take part in the wedding. I could feel, and hear, the laughter throughout the house and the garage as everybody listened in our conversation. The only exception to this was my beautiful niece in front of me; from her I just received waves of confusion and frustration because of her lack of understanding in this family joke.

She reached over from Edward's arms and touched my hand little – a feeling that was extremely soft, almost as soft as Alice's. She didn't bother with pictures or words but instead re-enforced the confusion.

"Darling Renesme, if I told you the joke I'm afraid that you might not like Jessica so much." I tried to solve the problem diplomatically; I could feel the new worry from Edward. He didn't want his daughter to be unhappy.

"I'd wouldn't, please Uncle Jasper. I don't want to go beg Uncle Emmett to tell me." Both Edward and I knew that she would; she'd done it before, but with a much more serious subject that Emmett was extremely talented in. Feeling the acceptance come from Edward, I mentally agreed to explain.

"Renesme, we all attended school with Jessica, and at that point your Mum was still completing it for the first time. Well, Jess was extremely jealous of your mum for being with your father; at the same being completely in love with him. For Mike Newton, it was the same. When your dad read his thoughts; he could tell that Mike was wholly committed in successfully dating your mum." I explained slowly, trying as much as possible not to put either of the new wedding birds to be put in a bad light.

After I'd finished I continued to read her emotions – she didn't seem too angry at either Mike or Jessica. Maybe she'd meant what she'd said before about not getting upset at learning about this new secret.


Bella's POV

Both Alice and I had left our men and Renesme outside on the front porch talking about the wedding and my first high school experience – not the best time I've ever had. From Edward's arms I heard Renesme say she'd go ask 'Uncle' Emmett, like she had when she had wanted to know what 'sex' was. I guess whether vampire or human – all parents have to have that conversation with their child.

They'd finished talking on the porch and Edward was walking towards me where I was sitting on the love couch. As he came closer, he frowned slightly at my annoyed expression, questioning what I was thinking. Stretching my shield to cover just myself and him, I showed him the memory of that conversation with Renesme. He laughed unexpectedly, breaking my concentration and the link between us. How was that funny?

"Mum," I jumped, and this time both Edward and Renesme laughed, "I scared you Mum!" She cried joyfully.

I just smiled and nodded my head, "You did sweetie."

"Can I help Grandma Esme and Aunty Rose and Alice with planning the wedding?" She asked me while smiling, I nodded my head again. How could you deny anything from my beautiful child? Even Carlisle found it difficult saying 'no'.


A WEEK LATER.


A week had passed since we'd first found out that Jess and Mike were tying the knot. All of Forks and majority of Arizona knew about it, thanks to all the women gossiping about it from both families – and Alice of course.

She must have been working double time at vampire speed – or faster. She'd booked the wedding in for two months in advance and it had taken her less then a week to design, make, and send out over 200 invites to all of Jess's and Mike's family, friends and anybody that had known them at Forks High School.

Edward and I had already received our invitation to the wedding at our little cottage. To surprise Renesme, Alice had delivered a personalized letter to her inviting to her to the wedding. Charlie had received his the next day, apparently hand-delivered. We asked Alice about it the next day and she just shrugged her and replied, "USA Post is much to slow, it was quicker to race around Forks and drop them all off."

Renesme, Alice and I had already been invited to the wedding; but apparently it had been a split decision with whether to invite the rest of the Cullen's. Once hearing that Carlisle and Esme were still in town, they'd happily stretched the invite list. However, Jessica didn't want Rose there, but did want Edward, Emmett and Jasper. Mike was on the opposite foot; wanting Rose there but not our men. In the end Alice had made the choice for them, saying that Jess's bridesmaids would need some sort of escort down the aisle. Jessica's dad had surprisingly made the decision about Rose, saying that it was rude to invite the rest of Forks, except one.

Alice had also booked in appointments for the bride, her MOH (maid of honour), bridesmaids and flower girl at the dress makers shop. According to Alice, she'd chosen a vast amount of various dresses and designs that Jess would be able to choose from for all us girls and herself of course. Alice had already begun choosing table arrangements and colours that would work with each of the different dresses. It had only been a week, but I was tremendously pleased that I'd let Esme and Alice organise my wedding – I would have been swamped with all the decisions that need to be made when planning such an occasion. No wonder so many people chose to elope.


A/N - And that's it! It wasn't much of a cliffy, but my battery was almost dead & for words it's just under two thousand. :)

Please Please Please make my day & help me reach 10 reviews for this chapter! I'd like for it to be slightly bigger, but I understand.

Thanks, and REVIEW!
