Chapter 2. Wedding plans

Chapter 2. Wedding plans

The next day morning dad was hovering around mom asking her if she needed anything, making mom comfortable and asking questions. Mom had told us that she didn't feel like she was in any pain at all and it was as if a normal person was having a normal baby. Carlisle and dad thought this was interesting. They were talking about doing a scan on mom to see what happens. Carlisle had planned this to happen later today. Emmett found it all hilarious making jokes about mom and dad which I got pushed into the kitchen so I couldn't hear anything. Esme had made me breakfast, oatmeal and a hot chocolate. Jacob was sat across the table from me drinking soda.

Alice strolled into the kitchen excitedly. "Pink or purple?" she asked, before she pushed Jacob out of the door. "What are you talking about?" I asked sipping my hot chocolate and looking at the door where Jacob got kicked out of. I felt a little sorry for him. "Your wedding silly."Alice laughed. I sighed. I didn't want to think about getting married and going away while mom could need someone with her. Yeah she had my family, but I wanted to be there as well. "Alice, I'm not sure right now is the best time to plan a wedding. You know with mom and everything." I said.

"But your dad and Carlisle said that you and Jacob need to be away from here when the baby comes because we don't know what it is going to be like." Alice said. She looked serious. "Have you seen something?" I asked. Jacob had opened the door and smiled at me. "Urgh you might as well come in seeing as this concerns you both." Alice said. Jacob shut the door behind him and sat down with me.

"Alice what's going on?" I asked. We were both staring at her.

"I have tried to see what is happening. It isn't clear, I have seen a couple of flashes but nothing that makes sense. This is weird because the baby is obviously going to be a vampire of some sort. No one knows how it will react to you two being around. The things I have seen are that somehow we were able to see the baby on the screen. I don't know how but it happened. I couldn't see what it was or if it would be fully vampire or any human in it at all. We are all very confused." Alice finished.

We just sat there in complete silence. I didn't know what to say and neither did Jacob.

"So we need to talk about the wedding." She said. I looked at Jacob and nodded.

"Ok let's talk about the wedding." I said. Alice seemed thrilled but I still couldn't stop worrying about mom.

We spend the next few hours talking to Alice about the wedding. Alice said the baby could come anytime so the wedding had to be in a few weeks. We were going dress shopping tomorrow. Alice and Rosalie were going to give out invitations tomorrow.

This meant that I wouldn't see Jacob for the whole day as he had to tell every one of his family and friends and get their suits.

Alice, Rosalie and Esme were planning the decorations. I had spent ages convincing Alice to let me pick colours. Alice wasn't happy about this and insisted on a delicate pink. In the end we settled for pastel colours which Alice didn't seem to mind.

Later that day when Esme had cooked our dinner we were all lounging around the house when Carlisle and dad came out of the study with a load of hospital equipment.

"Ok now Bella we need you to lie on this bed." Carlisle said. Mom obeyed granddad and lay on the bed. I was sat with Jacob feeling really nervous. Jacob could sense it and gripped my hand tightly.

Granddad hooked mom up to the machine and everyone was crowded around her. She looked nervous and dad looked scared.

After five minutes of hooking mom up granddad scratched his head confused. "I'm sorry Bella but we can't see anything." He said shaking his head. Mom looked tired and disappointed. I hugged her still holding Jacob's hand. Suddenly dad said.

"Carlisle you know that isn't a bad idea." We just stared at him waiting for him to tell us.

"What is happening?" Jacob finally asked.

"Carlisle had an idea that Bella swallow one of those tiny cameras and we can see what happens from that." Dad said.

I didn't really want mom to have to swallow a camera but I knew it would be small so it wouldn't harm her. I wouldn't get to see this because they were going to do it tomorrow when Alice was dragging me shopping for dresses.

Dad was taking Jacob out to get the suits with Emmett and Jasper so Carlisle and Esme could be alone for a while. Mom would be coming with us but Alice was also coming so she could look out for mom

Mom was resting on the couch when dad and Carlisle put the machine away I went up to my room with Jacob.

We talked about the wedding until we fell asleep.

"Renesmee come on shopping." Alice shouted to me. I sighed as she barged into my room

"Get up now we are going shopping and I seen the shop we are going to. So get up now!" Alice rushed me to get dressed pulling m away from a sleepy Jacob. Who had lifted his head up.

I didn't have time to say goodbye to Jacob because Alice literally picked me up and carried me to her car which Rosalie and mom were already there.

"Bella honey are you sure you want to go, because if you don't I will stay home and look after you." I heard dad say as I got closer to the car.

Mom sighed and looked at Alice. "Don't worry Edward I will look after her." Alice reassured him.

Dad said something under his breath and stepped away from the backing car.

We parked up outside of Beautiful Brides and Alice was so excited. I stayed close to mom the whole time we were out.

Alice threw lots of dresses at me and completely ignored the assistant when she asked if we needed help.

I had to go into the changing room and try them all on. "Alice." I shouted.

I really wasn't in the mood for this and mom could tell as well. Alice turned to me. "Huh." She said.

"I don't want any of these dresses ok? I want to pick my dress." I shouted. The assistant just tutted at us. Alice looked deeply offended. "But...But." Alice started.

"No Alice." I started. "I don't want you to pick my dress or shoes and I don't want you to organise MY wedding. You can choose your own dress and do everyone's hair and makeup but please let me organise my on wedding." I took a deep breath.

I didn't look Alice in the face because I knew she would be trying to guilt me. Mom just nodded at me and whispered. "Well done."

Alice didn't speak for a while because she and Rosalie had gone off to look for their own dresses leaving me and mom alone.

"So mom how you feeling." I said when she winced in pain.

"Yes I am fine but it's hard trying to get comfortable." She said.

I went into the changing room with two dresses I liked the best. When I tried the first one on and came out mom clapped her hands. "Renesmee you look beautiful." She said.

The dress was long and strapless. Flowing out at the waist.

Even Alice looked happy saying that I should get the dress but I still had one left to try on.

The second one was a strapless dress that wrapped around my body. Everyone cheered when I came out.

And when I got changed again and held the dresses up for everyone to choose, they picked the second one.

After I had picked my dress, Rosalie and Alice asked me to pick a colour scheme for the wedding so they could choose their dresses. We went to a little cafe next door to discuss it all. "Well I think we shouldn't overdo the colours." I said. Rosalie and Alice seemed to accept the fact that I wanted to organise my wedding,

"Okay so are we talking neutral colours?" Alice asked. I shook my head and sipped my cola. "No I was thinking white and red."

Rosalie and Alice both squealed at the same time. "I think that is a great colour scheme." They both said. Mom just squeezed my hand encouragingly.

After I had ate my burger and drank my cola we headed to another dress shop called star price. I helped Rosalie and Alice pick their dresses because they both wanted to make sure I agreed with it.

Rosalie tried on a loose fitted red heart neckline which was quite short but I liked it still and Alice picked a red knee length dress with straps. They both looked so nice. Mom also picked a long sleeve red dress that fell right to the floor loosely fitted. Everyone looked lovely.

When we had paid for everything we went to another mall to find shoes to go with our clothes. We found a small shop called true shoes which specialised in wedding shoes. I found some low heel open toe shoes with sequins on them. We went over to bridesmaid things and found two pairs of red heels with a red rose on the side and mom had some red wedges with a strap across them and a little rose on the side.

I was actually happy to be going home. I was hungry and so tired. I must of fell asleep in the car because the next thing I knew two strong arms were lifting me up. "What's happening?" I said. I rubbed my eyes. Jacob grinned back at me. "You must have fallen asleep." He laughed. I wrapped my arm around his neck and he carried me into the kitchen. Esme had dished our dinner out.

"Thanks Esme." Me and Jacob said together. Esme smiled at both of us and hugged me. She seemed so happy.

"Enjoy." She smiled walking out of the kitchen.

"So how did shopping go?" Jacob asked me.

"It was fine." I said showing him everything except for my dress and my shoes. I told him what the colour scheme was. He just grinned at me. "What did Alice say when you wanted to plan everything?" He laughed at this.

"Alice was a little disappointed but she eventually came around to it." I said.

"Anyway did you get your suit?" I asked. I knew he wouldn't tell me anything. He didn't like shopping but he did anything to please me.

"Yes after your dad found out the colour scheme and saw Rosalie and Alice's shoes we went to all suit shops to find something to match. Which we did, but you're not seeing it until the day." He kissed me and Alice walked in the room.

"Ok so to send invitations we need an exact date." Alice strolled into the kitchen. Jacob sighed but sat down at the table.

"Alice we don't even know who is coming yet." I said. Alice stopped me there. "Well why don't we do a list?' She smiled. I sighed this time and we wrote a long list of people to invite.

"We should invite Carlisle's friend who saved dad and Jacob." I said. Alice clicked the pen. "Yes we should get her details from Tanya."

Alice had gone out for a while to buy invitations after I told her what I would like. I curled up on the couch with Jacob. Mom was going to have her first scan soon and I couldn't wait.
