"Ok," Fiona said, "Bye Leah, bye Stefani."
She waved to Jacob and Nessie, and then they were on their way home.
Chapter Six
"So I guess we now plan out wedding," Fiona said to Josh.
"Ok," he said, "who are going to be your bridesmaids?"
"Ummm," Fiona thought back to her "old" family, home in Colorado. Her mom, her dad, and her grandparents, cousins, etc. How could her family not be there? And yet, how could she invite them? Her being what she was? She decided to invite them, but her bridesmaids would be Nessie, Bella, and Leah.
This was going to be interesting. My mom probably thinks I'm DEAD! I've been away for, like, six months. Eww…just thinking of this made Fiona sick.
"This is going to be awkward," she said. "What about you parents, Josh?"
"Ummm…well. My whole family hates vampires…so ummm… I don't know what to do, Fiona."
"Yeah," she said, "I get it. And my family doesn't even know vampires and werewolves exist! I'm way to pale though! My mom will ask me about it! What do I do about that?"
"Hmmm," said Josh, "I don't' know if you should tell her the truth, she might get scared away… Maybe tell her you've been out of the sun?"
"Even if I had been out of the sun I wouldn't be this pale," Fiona said, "umm, Josh, did I really look less pale after we umm…you know?"
"Well, you kind of did," Josh admitted, "Do you think we should do it again before we see your parents? You still didn't look that much less pale."
"I think so…Maybe," Fiona said. Josh looked really happy, but Fiona looked embarrassed.
"What?" Josh said.
"I don't know," Fiona said, "It's just weird to think about, especially to…er…do that right before I see my parents again."
"Uh…I see!" Josh said.
"I also hope my mom doesn't ask me about it. I kind of had an abstinence ring during my human life," Fiona explained.
"Oh," said Josh, "Yeah, my parents wouldn't be too thrilled either. But it's not like you were sleeping with any random guy. We were engaged by then."
"Yeah…I guess you're right!" Fiona said, "I'm really happy I'm engaged to you!"
"Really?" Josh said, "Why?"
"'Cause I love you!" Fiona said, "I've never loved anyone like this before! And I want to be with you forever! If I'm condemned to this immortal life, at least I'm in it with you!"
"You know what, Fiona?" Josh said.
"What?" Fiona said.
"You're just awesome, and I love you so much and I—"
Fiona kissed him.
"I know," she said softly and kissed him enthusiastically.
"Ok Josh, we have work to do," Fiona said, breaking away from the kiss.
"Fine," he said.
"Should I go to my parents' house or call them on the phone?" Fiona asked.
"Probably call them first," Josh said, "then they won't get scared and not recognize you because of your pale skin."
"Okay, I'll call them first… this will be hard," Fiona said. She dialed the number, and her mom answered.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Hi, Mom?" said Fiona.
"Who is this?" said her mom.
"Um…it's Fiona," Fiona said.
"FIONA!" her mom yelled, "Where have you been? We were looking for you?"
"Well…" began Fiona, "I kind of…got turned into a vampire."
"A vampire!" Fiona's mom said, "Fiona, seriously, stop playing with me. Tell me where you are!"
"You can come and see me if you want," Fiona said, "I'm in Russia. I'm about to get married and I want you to come to my wedding."
"Married? You are not getting married!" her mom yelled.
"Yes I am!" said Fiona, "I'm over 18; I'm old enough to do what I want!"
"No you are not getting married!" he mom yelled, "You know our religion! Your dad and I must meet your husband before anything! And if we don't like him…"
"You can't do anything about it!" cried Fiona, "if you want to meet him, come visit us in Russia before the wedding! He's really sweet and nice!"
"Ohh…Fiona!" Her mom said, "Okay, me and your dad are coming. But about you being a vampire? You're not really one are you?"
"No Mom, I'm not!"
"Ok, good," said her mom, "when is the wedding going to be?"
"Umm…we were thinking this Sunday," Fiona said.
"What?" said her mom, "so soon? Why didn't you tell us earlier?"
"I don't know why," Fiona said.
"Now Fiona, that's no excuse. I'm your mother and you can tell me anything!" her mom said.
"I'm sorry!" said Fiona, "but we just didn't really know! Will you still come?"
"Yes, definitely! How could I miss my own daughter's wedding?" Her mom said, "But there's a question. Have you guys…"
"Umm…No," said Fiona. If she could have blushed, she would have.
"Good." Her mom said, "Your father would have been very upset if you said yes."
"Yeah, I know," said Fiona, "Okay, so I'll see you soon?"
"Yup," said her mom.
"Okay Mom. Bye!" She hung up the phone.
"How was it?" Josh asked her.
"Not that bad," Fiona said, "They want to meet you and were mad that we were getting married, but I think she's ok now."
"Oh…Okay!" Josh said.
"So…" Fiona said, "Your parents? What about them?"
"I'll call them now," he said. He dialed their number and his mom picked up.
"Hello," she said.
"Hey mom, it's me Josh…"
"Josh?" she said, "Where have you been? We heard from the pack that you're dating a vampire! Is this true?"
"Yeah, Mom. Not only dating, but engaged too."
"What?" his mother yelled, "You're about to marry a bloodsucker?"
"Hey!" Josh yelled, "Don't call her that! Besides, we love each other, so it shouldn't matter what we are, right?"
"It does matter!" his mother yelled, "You're about to marry a vampire!"
"So?" said Josh, "We love each other, that's all that matters!"
"Did you imprint?"
"Yes! I did! So there's nothing you or I can do about it!"
"Yeah, you're right. So when is this wedding?"
"Sunday."
"Okay, I'll be there."
"It's in Russia."
"Okay."
"Bye Mom." He hung up.
"How was it?" asked Fiona.
"Ok," said Josh, "but she wasn't too happy about me marrying a vampire."
"That's ok," Fiona said, "So, we have much more to plan."
