Chapter 10- Preparations
RPOV
" Renesmee, honey wake up, it's the big day" my mom said, shaking me slowly. I woke up to my mother smiling at me.
" What?" I asked.
" It's your wedding day sweetheart" she said. I sat up in bed, now remembering that I was getting married today, marrying the only man that I could ever love.
" OK, I'm getting up, what are we doing first?" I asked.
" Well, we're going to do your hair, but before you do anything, go say hi to your kids, and then hop into the shower, OK?" she said. I nodded.
I got up and headed to the door, I went to the living room, spotting my babies. It's only been a couple of weeks, but my twins look like they're 4, they grow way to fast.
Good morning kids, I thought. They turned towards me and ran to me, each grabbing one of my legs, giving me a tight squeeze.. Are you kids hungry? I asked.
No, Grandma Esme made us something to eat Edward said.
Mommy? Can I come with you while Aunty Alice plays Dress up with you? Ella asked.
Of course, and she's playing dress up on me because I'm getting married remember? Edward do you wan to come?"I asked my son. His deep blue eyes stared into mine.
No thank you Mommy, Uncle Emmett said that he'd play with me later, he told me.
You know, you need to start talking aloud soon, I told them.
Yes mommy the both said in unison.
"Well then, come on Ella, we should get showered so we can get ready", I said, taking her hand and heading to the stairs. I looked around but couldn't find Jake.
" Do you guys know where Jake is?" I asked.
" Renesmee, the groom isn't allowed to see the bride before the wedding", I heard Alice chirp up from upstairs. I shook my head at her statement, did it really matter? We walked up to my Aunt Alice's room, where it seemed all the girls were. We walked into the room, everyone smiled at Ella, them at me.
" Ella stay here with everyone so that I can have a shower, then, if Grandma Esme doesn't mind, she can give you a bath as I get ready", I told her, " You don't mind Gradma Esme do you?" I asked.
" No dear, I don't mind", she said with a smile. God bless her heart.
I walked to the bathroom, i turned the shower on, I stepped and relaxed into the warm. I started to think about the wedding. I was getting married, today! i could picture my Jake at the end of the aisle, my children, the ring bearer and a beautiful flower girl. My brides maids, Rosalie, my mom, Grandma Esme, and Alice of course. Oh god, and my uncle Emmett being the Reverend. i chuckled to myself. And one of the best parts, my dad, giving me away to the man i love.
I stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around me, I ran the bath, putting a little bit of bubbles into it Once done, I walked back to Alice's room.
" Ella, your bathes ready, go get in" I said. She ran out the door with Esme running after her, i could hear her giggles down the hall as Esme caught her. I chuckled.
" Alright lets get this over with" I said. I sat on a stool and Alice started to blow dry my hair. She finished brushed it out, making me flinch every time she hit a knot. Once she was done, she put my hair into curlers.
" While your hair is doing it's thing we're going to do your makeup" Alice spoke.
" Oh fun" I said sarcastically. She smacked me on the shoulder, i rubbed it, it didn't really hurt, it was like if someone were to pinch you. Then i remember the last time someone made fun of Alice's interests. Uncle Emmett made harmless joke- well i thought it was harmless- about how retarded shopping was. That was the first and last time i heard Uncle Emmett make a comment about Alice's interests.
Alice finished with the foundation and started on the eyeshadow. Though i hated people dressing me up and putting make up on me, i strangely enjoyed the feeling her putting the shadow on my eyes. Once she finished, she started the blush, it didn't take very long until the blush was done and the lip stick and gloss was being applied.
" Renesmee, you look absolutely beautiful" my mother said.
I looked into the mirror directly in front of me. At first, I didn't recognize myself. Alice had put on a light brown shadow that made my eyes brighter, and had the natural effect. On top of the lid, she put a small amount of pink. The blush made my cheekbones look higher, I could also tell that there was slight red tinge to the blush. I went to touch my face, but it was shot down my another hand.
" Don't. Touch. Your. Face", Alice warned me. I scowled at her, why should I not touch my face it was beautiful. I rolled my eyes at her, she glared at me then smiled. Why was she smiling?
" Time for your hair!" she cheered. I rolled my eyes now knowing why she was smiling. She began taking out the curlers. My hair fell down to my face, I was watching what Alice was doing in the mirror. She grabbed the hairspray, and a comb. She took some of my hair and started to tease it, adding volume to it. She turned the stool around so I couldn't see what she was doing anymore.
She stepped back to admire her work, she added the finishing touches and stepped back again.
" You are to not touch your hair or makeup, I'm going to make sure that the boys have got Jacob stated, then, I'm going to go get your dress" She said and skipped off. I stood up and walked around, I needed to stretch my legs.
" Oh mommy, you look pretty", I turned around to see my little girl wrapped in her little duck towel, Esme in tow behind her.. I smiled and crouched down, opening my arms, signaling her to run into into my arms. I picked her up and spun her around, she squealed in delight.
" So do you baby, so do you." I said.
" But I'm not wearing makeup", she said.
" That doesn't matter honey, your always beautiful" I explained. Kissing her forehead and I hugging her close. Alice skipped back into the room and looked at me sternly.
" Put her down Renesmee, your going to ruin your hair" she said, she walked up and grabbed Ella, she tried to pry her off but she wouldn't let go. S\he squeezed Ella's sides, she shrieked and and let go. " Ella, it's your turn to get ready" she told her.
" Bella, I need you to take Renesmee to Esme and Carlisle's room, her dress is in there. Oh Renesmee you're going to love your dress!!!" she exclaimed as she pushed me and my mom out the door.
" I hate when she does that" I stated.
" I know honey, so do I", she said and draped her arm over my shoulder, we walked into my room, and the dress was spread across my bed. I grabbed it, headed to the bathroom. Putting on the dress was hard, but I managed. I walked out of the bathroom and my mom gasped. I walked over to the full length mirror and peered into the mirror. I turned around to get a better look at the back, the dress really was beautiful. It was white silk, with a lacy covering.
The dress flowed back, so that someone needed to hold it, you could take it off so that bride could dance.
"I love it, it's beautiful" I murmured.
" It truly is, it suits you perfectly" my mom said. I turned to face her.
" You should go get ready mom, I think people are starting to arrive", I told her. She sighed then nodded. She kissed my cheek, and headed to get ready. I stayed in the room for a bit, but got restless, I needed to talk to somebody. I opened the door, and headed down the hall to Alice's room, I walked in to be greeted by Rosalie, Alice, Esme, and Ella. They smiled at me and I smiled back.
Everyone in that room was beautiful. Rosalie, Esme and Alice wore hollter satin, chocolate brown coloured gowns, the dresses had a lighter colouered brown bow that came just below the bust. Alice's hair was normal, her spiked pixie like hair suited everything she wore. Rosalie and Esme's hair was curled and pulled back at the ears, decorative flowers wove in their curls. In the middle of my examination my mom walked in, looking the same, but even more beautiful. And how could I forget my little girl. She had a red and white dress. The red ended above the waist and the white continued, a flower pattern was embroidered at the bottom right corner of her dress. Her hair was pulled back into a neat, perfect high ponytail, her bangs draped over her brow. They all looked so beautiful.
" I'll be right back, I'm going to go check if the boys are ready, and the guests are all here" she explained. I looked around the room and thought, my thoughts were consuming my mind.
" Renesmee, you look outstanding!" my Aunt Rose cooed. She embraced me, squeezing me tight. Letting me go, and giving me one more once over, she said, " my niece is getting married!" she squealed.
" I know, I can't believe it either" I said. I looked over to my mom. A grin was plastered onto her face. She hugged me, and whispered into my ear. " Congratulations baby" . I whispered back to her, " Thanks mom". The door creaked open, and Alice walked in.
" Renesmee, it's time"
