CHAPTER 4: ACCEPTANCE

When Renée's plane finally landed, she clambered down the corridor and let out a small scream when she saw me. She dropped her bags and ran to greet me. "Oh I have missed you so much," she exclaimed as we collected her luggage and headed for the cruiser. "And what's all this business about a wedding that I'm not invited to," she sounded hurt.

"Mum its okay please don't freak out or anything," I tried to sound calm.

"I'm not I was just wondering when I'm going to receive an invitation." Did that actually happen? Did she just accept that I was only 18 and about to get married? That was not possible.

"Mum of course you're invited. I was planing on telling you I was engaged before I just sent out the invitations."

"Yes well we need to talk about this. What about your education?"

"Edward and I are going to University in Alaska" I replied now sounding slightly confident. Maybe this wasn't going to be to hard at all.

"And you're sure this is what you want?" she queried.

"I'm absolutely certain," I replied as Edward grazed into my eyes.

"Well then who am I to stand in your way two are clearly very much in love. But Bella please promise me you won't do anything you don't want to do," I was funny how Renée could sound so serious when she was such a playful and spirited person.

"I promise mum."

"Ok then lets go home."
