Changing Tides
Chapter 10
EmPOV
"OK, does everyone have everything ready?" I asked nervously.
"Emmett, yes. Your mom has been working with Tanya tirelessly to get the house finished on the inside. You having Bella shop online was a fantastic idea and have it 'delivered to the office' to be stored, man, you're quick on your feet. She's going to be so surprised. I know she's going to cry and Alice is going to be pissed her makeup is ruined." My dad chuckled.
"Aren't you supposed to cry at weddings?" I asked.
"Yes son, but when it's your own surprise wedding, that's an even bigger tear jerker. Plus, her hormones being pregnant." He shook his head.
"Yeah, I remember…" I stopped myself from finishing that sentence because nothing good would come of it.
"OK. Sam will be here in the morning to help your mom set up tents and everything, the caterer's will be here around 8pm, Alice is supervising the twinkle lights, I think I can go home to my soon to be wife now and snuggle. We have the plan for mom and Alice to get her here for pictures, but she'll be blindfolded, right?" I asked as a reminder.
"Yes, they're taking a stretch Hummer here, which will be waiting to whisk you two away to your honeymoon as well. We're using it as a ruse for Bella, telling her the dress and all of them wouldn't fit in a regular car or limo. While she's blindfolded, the ladies will already be dressed, telling Bella they're leaving from there to go to Esme's New Year's party." My dad smirked again.
"Good. I'm exhausted. I can't believe this is actually happening. I hope she's not mad at me for doing all this." I swept my hand around the house and backyard.
"Emmett, this has got to be the sweetest gesture a man can do. As neurotic as I can be, if Edward were to ever do something so romantic, I know I wouldn't be mad. I'd fall even more in love." Tanya squeezed my hand and smiled.
"Thanks Tanya. That means a lot and Bella has been under the weather with this pregnancy, so I'm hoping today is a good day."
"I gave your mom something for her this morning and she's been resting. All is good, now go home. Rest and tomorrow is the day."
Walking in my mom was playing with Tiegan.
"Where's Bella?" I asked.
"She's sleeping. Baby is making her sick." Tiegan frowned.
"Can you hang out a little bit mom?"
"Of course. Go check on her, she was sleeping a little while ago. I can always take Tiegan to the main house if needed." I told her that would be fine, I'd gather her later.
I heard her before I saw her. She was dry heaving.
"Ahhh babe, I'm sorry." I wet a washcloth and put it on the back of her neck.
"It's OK. It only happened because I tried to eat." She frowned.
"Let's get you back to bed. Rest."
"I need to shower, I feel gross." She insisted.
"How about we take a bath, then you don't have to stand."
"That sounds good." She agreed.
Bella sat on the toilet while I started the bath.
We undressed and I helped her into the tub and slid in behind her rubbing her small bump.
"So, are we hoping for a girl or a boy?" I asked as she laid her head back.
"Healthy." She smiled.
"Healthy or no problems?" my voice was tight.
"Healthy as in healthy. I don't want our baby to be stuck in NICU because of a heart defect and it was something I could have prevented by staying in bed or something crazy like that. Tiegan is perfect! If we have another Tiegan, then we do, we raise them the same way you raised T. We hope for the best, I'm not leaving if there's problems. I hope you're not thinking that Emmett. I'd hope you'd know me better than that by now." I opened my eyes, the hurt evident.
"I do, this is just a scary time for me. It's bringing back good and bad memories. I couldn't wait to find out what I was having. I wanted to decorate a little girl's room so bad! I wanted my princess." He smiled.
"And you have her and we'll have this one. We'll love it no matter what. I would just like it to be healthy so we don't have to worry."
We finished our bath and Emmett dried me off and carried me to bed, telling me he was going to get Tiegan. I fell fast asleep.
Waking the next morning, Esme was there and said the Emmett and Tiegan had already left to the picture sight, to get the heaters set up.
Esme gave me medicine to keep me from getting sick today and fed me some toast and ginger ale before Alice arrived.
I showered and started getting ready, Alice arrived and started on my hair and make—up.
"Why are you all dressed?"
"We have Esme's party right after your pictures. It makes sense. Why run around?" Alice asked.
"That makes sense." I shrugged.
I finished up and walked out seeing the stretch Hummer.
"Really? Do we need something this big?" I laughed.
"Emmett insisted, so yes and he also insists that you're blindfolded when we get on the road."
"No way!" I protested.
"Come on. Just appease Emmett. He's got a surprise for you." Esme smiled.
"OK, Ok." I smiled.
They tied one of Emmett's ties around my eyes and we were off.
After a short drive, we arrived someplace and I heard Jasper's voice.
"You look beautiful." And then I was whisked away in my brother's arms hearing the whispers of others.
"OK. You can take off the mask." Esme giggled.
"Where am I?" I looked around.
"Bella, welcome to your wedding." Alice sang.
"What?" I gasped. "How?"
"Emmett will explain it all later. For now, you're in the guest room of your new house. He wants the Master to be a surprise." Jasper smiled.
"I can't believe he did all this. This is all his late nights, secret phone calls and meetings." I shook my head.
"Yeah, he's worked so hard for everything to be perfect. Not only the house, but the wedding. He's worked with Tanya, mom, builders, Edward, you name it to get this done."
"He worked with Tanya?" I asked.
Jasper chuckled and shook his head.
The wedding march started and Alice took her place.
"I guess I'm really getting pictures in my dress today, but they'll be with Emmett and the entire family."
"Yeah, Emmett has thought of everything."
Jasper walked me down the aisle and towards my future.
AN:
So, they're married…
She was surprised…
