"The Volturi have been ousted from power." I announced to those of us that were left. "I am sorry for the loss that we must all now face, but I assure you it is for the greater good and not in vain. Kate bolted out of the room with Garrett hot on her heels.
Now we must make the trip back to Forks to deliver Bella to her father and to Jacob Black my true enemy.
Charlie's POV
"Jake where the hell are you, you father is having a panic attack here?" I asked into the phone I was clutching to my ear. I listened to the other end waiting for an actual response. "Damn it Jake, the wedding is tomorrow and you are the best man. Rachel and Paul are going to kill you… Oh you will be home in time… Well good… Bye." I hung up and held the phone to my forehead.
"Where is he?" Billy questioned as he wheeled himself into my kitchen.
"Atlanta. He said he will be home in time for the wedding."
"I don't believe him. Rachel is the one he should be worried about." Billy responded as the front door opened and closed lightly. Footsteps were heard heading towards us in the kitchen.
"Someone should be worried about me?" Rachel questioned as she leaned against the doorframe.
"Oh just your brother." I said as I turned to open the refrigerator to grab a beer. It was almost time for the game and this night can only get better. I mean how much more crap can happen.
"What the hell did Jake do this time?"
"Watch your mouth young lady." Billy told her as he headed for the front room. I followed suite as Rachel in a angry storm followed to.
"Fine but what did he do?" She glowered at us, sitting innocently in the living room hoping she would turn and leave so we could watch the game in peace. Wasn't she getting married so she could bug him now instead of us old guys. You know let us be and all that.
"Your brother is in Atlanta but he promised to be back on time." Billy got out before she could flip her lid. Which we know she will do now anyway.
"Atlanta, Atlanta, really he decided now was a good time to go to Atlanta. I am gonna kill him. I am. Oh my god dad why would you let him go to Atlanta and don't give me that Sam told him to crap I know he broke off and formed his own little pack of mutts so he didn't have to listen to everyone pity him about losing Bella, which I get yea she was awesome and all but he needs to move on and get over it there is other things happening in the world now that is important so this crusade to go off and find her is crazy. I am sorry Charlie but it has been six years, she is gone now and no matter how long you two search for her it isn't going to change so you call off your little lap dog that I call a brother and tell him to get his ass back to forks for my wedding or there will be hell to pay, and dad I don't wanna here you bitch at me for swearing. Now call him." She finished. Who knew she had that kind of lung capacity. I did what she told me not because I wanted to but because she scares the hell outta me. Jake was on his way back.
Jakes POV
The Wedding
"As the best man I would like to say that I am so happy my sister found someone who can make her happy. She deserves it more than you know. As much as I hated the idea of my sister and Paul at first I realize that they were made for each other all along and I can only hope to get that lucky myself someday. So to the happy couple, may you live long and happy lives together and give Bec's and I a few nieces and nephews so we can spoil them. And Paul thank you for brining my big sister home." I gave my speech hoping not to fall over from cheesy embarrassment.
"Thank you Jacob." My sister said as she looked over to me, pure happiness was etched onto her face. Paul sitting beside her smiling like he had just won the lotto. Next up Rebecca.
"It's been a long bumpy road for you Rach and I am so happy you have found someone who makes you a better you. As someone who knows how a great relationship works I can see that you two have one that will last a few lifetimes. Paul, welcome to the family and remember if you hurt my twin sister I know where you live." Everyone laughed at her insane joke, most of us because we know he is incapable of hurting her due to the whole imprint thing, the others because of the twin protectiveness thing. "Anyway I wish you both the best and yes I do look forward to taking your kids for a little Hawaiian vacation." Next up was the dancing portion of the night which means I get to give my sister a dance and then it's my cue to leave. I hate weddings, first I had to suffer through Kim and Jared getting married and I mean I am so happy for them but watching them commit their lives to each other makes me think of how that could have, should have been Bella and I. But that can never be. Sam and Emily tied the not soon after Kim and Jared and at first I was okay with it, you know getting used to the idea but Emily had to make that little dedication to Bella a great friend of hers. Thank god my sister did not do that or I would have lost my shit. I did lose it when Emily did it but I was close enough to the bathroom at the time I could escape.
Everyone watched as Rachel and Paul danced away to their cute little song Now that I found you by an artist I have never heard of. People soon began to join them on the dance floor. I took that as my cue to cut in and steal my sister for a while.
"Hey may I cut in?" I asked as I tapped Paul on his shoulder.
"Sure, Ill go find my mom." Paul said as he passed me Rachel's hand.
"How are you doing Jake?"
"Oh don't worry about me Rach I am fine. It was a good ceremony." I told her.
"Thank you Jake. So any new lady friends."
"Oh Rachel you did not just say that." I laughed. "You sound like dad."
"Actually I sound like mom, at least that's what dad says." I smiled at her, both of us thinking of the one person who really should be here.
"She would be proud if you Rachel." I told her.
"And how would you know, you were like six when she passed."
"Well dad says I am a lot like her and I know I am proud of you so I guess that counts." I chuckled. She just rolled her eyes at me. "You and Paul are staying in La Push right?"
"Yes, as much as I wanted to escape this place, this is our home and I wouldn't have it any other way. Beca might have left and won't ever come back but someone needs to take care of dad since you don't sit still long enough to do it."
"Oh sure blame me and my wandering wolfy stuff." I laughed.
"Ya ya but you can't honestly tell me you are gonna stay on this side of the country." I knew we were well past one dance and a line was forming behind us.
"True. Anyway I will see you later, I am gonna take off and there is a bunch of people who want to dance with you." I said pointed my thumb to the lineup of people. She kissed my check and I made my exit. I said a quick goodbye to my dad and Charlie who was on his cell phone. "What's that all about?" I asked as he hung up.
"Gotta go burglary at the market." Charlie said. He went over and said his goodbyes. I ran home to change out of this horrid monkey suite. A few hours passed and the party had ended people were walking down the streets every which way trying to find their way home. My dad got here with Rebecca and her husband just as the phone began to ring. I took two large steps to answer it.
"Hello?" I asked as I hit the speaker button.
"Is this Jacob Black?"
"Yes."
"This is Andrew Corren from the police department in Forks. It says here that you are Chief Swans emergency contact."
"Yes is something wrong, what happened?" I asked franticly. My father looked to me with worry. We had changed me to be his contact after Bella disappeared because I am the only one with a car and we spend so much time together looking for clues about Bella.
"Chief Swan is in the hospital, the robbery case he was called into this evening turned bad and he was shot three times in the chest."
"I will be right there." I said as I smashed the button on the phone to turn it off, my father looked freak as I grabbed my keys and bolted for the rabbit. I got to the hospital in record time I didn't care where I parked. "Chief Swan." I practically yelled at the desk nurse.
"He is in surgery and we will keep you posted." I went over to the plastic chair and plopped down exhausted. I rubbed my hands over my face and into my hair. The auto doors opened.
"Nurse."
"Oh my, doctor Cullen are you um back working here?"
"No Jackie, but I got a call saying I was needed urgently?"
"Oh yes they want you in emergency. Chief Swan was gunned down this evening and is in surgery any help is needed." I listened and finally I looked up. As Carlisle Cullen turned around briefly. He caught sight of me and then looked to the auto doors. I followed his gaze and saw a sight I never thought I would see again. My Bella, she looked human and perfect and six years older than the last time I saw her.
"Bella?" I said, my mouth dropping open.
She whipped her head to the side and next thing I knew she flung herself at me wrapping her arms around my neck. "Jacob. My Jacob." She whispered. I wrapped my own arms around her and held on tightly. Carlisle took off towards emergency and then I could smell the rest of them. "Jake I have so much I need to tell you…" She said pulling back slightly and that is when I caught sight of the blond bloodsucker holding a small girl with russet skin and big brown eyes staring at us.
