A few days had passed by which allowed all the injuries that Leah had substained during her fight with those newborn vampires to heal. The two lovers found themselves in 'The Meadow' surrounded by beautiful purple flowers. It was very peaceful. A place where the girls could easily get lost in the moment shared with each other. The Native American girl loved the location, she really did but the only thing that she did not like was the fact that it had once been the location that her girlfriend had shared with Edward. So, Leah felt a little awkward about sitting there with her mate but she coped with it the best she could cause it really was a relazing site and she couldn't help but think about the fact that the Leech had once in that exact location with her girl at one point or another. Shaking her head to get her thoughts away from Edward and focused more on Bella who was resting up against her bent legs facing her as she leaned back on her elbows with a smile on her face as her brain finally registered what her mate had said to her.

"August 13th?" Leah questioned softly.

"Yeah. It's a month before my birthday." Bella nodded her head. "Alice said she could get the wedding together by then."

It was amazing that she had literally proposed a few days ago and Bella was already setting a date. It didn't bother her at all that her girlfriend was trying to get a move on the wedding cause in all honesty she wanted to get a move on it too. But when she had heard that the leech Alice could get the wedding together by then, she sighed and looked away some.

"I'm sure she can." Leah replied softly, then turned back towards her. "There's no rush, you know?"

"I know." Bella nodded her head. "I've chosen my life. I want to start living it."

"And so you're gonna let Alice plan the whole thing?" Leah asked her. "The dress, the reception, the guest list. I mean, who knows who she's going to even invite."

"I trust her." It was an easy answer to what Leah was saying. She knew that if she wanted a beautiful wedding and it to be a day to remember then so be it. She was going to let Alice loose on it but she slowly stopped her throught process of letting the Pixie take over when she realized that she hadn't really let Leah have a say in it and she was a woman too. "Unless, you aren't okay with it."

"I'm cool with it." Leah sighed, sitting up a bit and moving some of Bella's brown hair away from her face. "I'm sure what she will come up with will be amazing...but, I'm just thinking about Emily and my mom. Their gonna want to have some sort of say in things."

Bella nodded her head, understanding what Leah was saying and she wanted Sue and Emily to have a say in the wedding besides Sue was after all going to be her mother in-law. "I'm sure Alice will make sure to get their opinions."

"I don't know how my mom and Emily will deal with working with a lee-" she quickly stopped herself when she saw Bella's face fall. "I mean...I don't know how well they will deal with working with Alice. They're not used to working with vampires but if you trust her, then they will too."

"Thank you."

"But I still don't know why you are doing this."

"What? The wedding?"

"No." Leah looked away from her and around to all the flowers before glancing back at her mate. "You're trying to make eveyone else happy, but you're already giving away too much." She told her, caressing the side of Bella's face.

"You're wrong." Bella expressed. "This wasn't a choice between you and Edward. Or Jacob. It was between who I should be and who I am. I've always felt out of step, like literally stumbling through my life. I've never felt normal. Because I'm not normal. I don't want to be." She begins to explain before stopping for a brief moment then continuing. "I've had to face death and loss and pain in your world, but I've also never felt stronger and more real, more myself. Because it's my world, too. It's where I belong."

Leah took in her lover's words and looked down at her hands with a small smile lingering on her lips before she gives her attention back to her imprint. "So, it's not just about me?"

"No. Sorry." She smiled, shaking her head slightly before leaning closer towards the taller girl. "I've made a mess trying to figure all this out, but I wanna do it right." Bella leans in even closer so that there was only about an inch between the two. "And I wanna tie myself to you in every way humanly possible."

"Starting with a wedding."

"Actually, something a little more difficult first. And maybe even dangerous." Bella expresses before pushing herself away from Leah till she was standing up and looking down at the female wolf who was wearing a concerned expression on her face. "We have to tell Charlie."

Hearing that, Leah actually smirks and nods her head before squinting up at Bella. "It's highly dangerous."

"It's a good thing that you heal so quickly."

Shaking her head as she stood up, pulling her girl closer. "Yeah, that is a good thing. But do you really think your dad will try to hit a girl?"

"No. But, it probably would have been a good idea to do that dinner that Charlie suggested a while ago."

"What dinner?"

Months later.

At the Black residents, the rain poured down heavily outside when the front door burst open and Jacob Black rushes out in complete anger. Moving in a fast pace. Tossing a card he had been holding to the ground as he began to sprint. Shifting as he ran until he fully phased into his wolf form and disappearing into the woods as his father wheeled out in his wheel chair after him. Calling out his name, trying to get his son to stop with the hopes of calming him down. When he stopped, he leaned down and picked up the card that had been carelessly tossed to the ground, he picked it up and read over the invitation.

Isabella Maire Swan
and
Leah Michelle Clearwater

Together with their families
Request the honor of your presence
At the celebration of their marriage

Saturday, the thirteenth of August
Two thousand and eleven
Five O'Clock in the evening

Looking at the same invitation was Charlie Swan who was sitting at the kitchen table with a beer by his side as he stared that the card. He was surprised to say the least when Bella had told him that she and Leah were going to be getting married. He tried to convince them both that they were too young and that they hadn't been together long enough to truly know if they should get married. In his expert opinion of when he and Renee had gotten married they definately rushed into the marriage but then again the only good that came out of that relationship was Bella. Charlie knew the Clearwater family and he knew that Leah was a great young woman and he trusted her more with his little girl than he ever did when it came to Edward. Then again, he was still saddened that his daughter had decided against his wishes for them to wait and actually get married as soon as they were. He was about to lose his only daughter and that was really hard for him to accept.

In Phoenix, Arizona. Renee had just checked her mail box just after the it had been dropped off. Inside she found a wedding invitation waiting for her, a smile spread across her features as she realized that her daughter was finally getting married to that nice Edward Cullen boy that she had heard so much about. But her face fell when she saw that Edward's name was no where to be seen on the card, instead she saw that it was Leah Clearwater's name. It confused her to see someone else's name on the card seeing that Bella never told her that Edward and her hand broken up and that she was now dating the Clearwater girl. It didn't upset her that she was getting married to a female only that Bella kept this from her. Her smile reappeared because she realized that if her daughter was getting married then it meant she was happy with Leah.

"Phil." She smiled as she walked up the sandy path to the house as her husband stood up from the porch as she held up the invitation. "It's happening."

At the Cullen house, there was a lot of work going on around the back end of the home which was all the doing of Alice. The slave driver who was trying to create the perfect wedding for Bella and Leah. Even though it wasn't going to be with her brother like she hoped but Bella was like her sister no matter what and she wanter her to have the perfect wedding. Bella was currently on the back deck with Alice, practicing to walk in the high heeled shoes that matched the dress she was going to wear. Her feet dragged along the ground as she tried to keep her balance, scrapping the heels while Alice watched with an almost amused expression on her face. Bella finally stopped after she caught herself from almost stumbling over.

"Um...You just have to break them in." Alice told her enthusiasticly.

"I have been breaking them in. For three days." Bella tells her. "Can I just go barefoot?"

"No, absolutely not."

"I'm just thinking it's a little much, you know? The dress and the shoes...and all of this." Bella says leaning up against the railing. Turning to see the backyard with flowers everywhere. Jasper and Carlisle carrying large wooden benches that were going to serve as the seating for all the guests.

"No, it's exactly enough. Tomorrow will be perfect." Alice assures her with a smile.

"I mean, Leah will probably be going barefoot."

"Oh no, she wont. I'm making sure of that." Alice smiles proudly. "She wasn't exactly happy about it but she agreed to wear the flats I bought for her."

"Why does she get to wear flats and I don't?"

"Because she's tall enough as it is." She smiled. "You on the other hand, need to get some height."

Bella sighs and looks down at her heels.

"Where do you want them, boss?" Emmett asked as he walked by with a large tree on his shoulder.

"On either side of the aisle." Alice smiled at him.

"What aisle?" Rosalie asked, walking behind Emmett with a large tree stump in her arms.

"Does no one have vision?" Alice asks, stomping her foot before walking down the steps to show them where they went.

Once Alice was out of sight, Bella takes the opportunity to remove the heels on her feet then putting her own shoes back on. Looking up, she takes notice that Leah was standing at the window on the inside of the house, watching her mother and Emily working along side Esme to get things in order for the wedding. The two women having a good laugh as they worked with the first vampire they really ever had such contact with. The look on Leah's face was one that Bella wasn't used to seeing on the girl, it was nerves. She looked more nervous than Bella herself was.

"You, go home and get lots of beauty sleep." Alice told her firmly as she moved infront of the girl. "That's an order."

Bella smiled and looked down, nodding her head. "Okay." She said softly before hugging the Pixie tightly.

Later that evening, Bella was in her bedroom at her father's house packing up the remaining items that she was going to be needing for after the two girl's got married. Closing up yet another box, she turned so her back was to the box as she looked around the almost empty room before seeing something that caught her arm. She walked over to her bed and leaned over to pick touch the dream catcher that was hanging there. Suddenly, she felt a slight breeze behind her which caused her to smile then she turned around to see Leah standing there with a smirk on her face.

"Was just checking for cold feet." Leah smiled, wrapping her arms around Bella's waist before pulling the smaller girl closer to her.

"Well, mine are toasty warm." Bella assured her, looking down at her feet then glanced back up at Leah.

"It's not too late to change your mind, you know?"

"What? Now you're having second thoughts?" Bella smiled, sitting down and looking up at her. When she didn't get an answer, she frowned a bit. "You are?"

Leah shook her head with a small smile lingering on her lips. "No, I've wanted to marry you the moment I imprinted on you, Bella Swan."

"Really? Cause, I remember you hating me for a while in the beginning." She teased the taller girl.

"I never hated you, Bella." Leah assured her, then sitting down beside her. "I was just upset with how I thought you were treating Jacob. He was like a little brother to me and seeing him sad like he was upset me."

"But?" Bella asked, curiously. Then urged again when she got no response. "But?"

"Bella..." Leah sighed, shifting to face her mate. "I'm the first female shifter. Ever. And I'm just not sure what this all means. I mean, it was assumed I would imprint on a male...but I didn't."

"You imprinted on me."

"Yeah. And I don't regret it." She assured, taking the girl's hand in her own. "I just...I'm trying to understand what this all means. Imprinting is a way to keep our bloodlines going."

"And because I'm a female, we can't concieve." Bella nodded her head, realizing what Leah was getting at.

Leah on the other hand looked away for a moment before turning back to her girlfriend. "There is alot that can't be explained about me and why I shifted and why I imprinted on a female but...it's slowly piecing together for me."

"What do you mean?"

The female wolf shook her head. "I'll explain later."

Suddenly they both heard a whistle from outside the house, causing them to look at the opened window which Leah had climbed in through.

"Come on! Let's go!" Paul's voice rang out from out side.

Leah laughed and looked down a bit. "Um, the pack is throwing me a bachelor party."

"You mean a bachelorette party?"

"No." She shook her head. "They refuse to call it that. It's a bachelor party because they see me as their brother since I imprinted on a female...like they all did."

Bella chuckles and shakes her head. Before Embry appeared at the window with a big grin on his face. "Send her out, Bells, or we're coming in after her." He tells her before jumping back down to the ground below.

The girl's look at each other with smiles on their faces. "So, this party. Will there be strippers?" Bella asked.

Leah laughed as shook her head. "No, more like a bunch a wolves at a bonfire with lots of booze and meat."

Before she was able to respond to that, Jared appeared at the window this time with a smile on his face as well. "Don't worry, Bella, we'll give her back in plenty of time."

"Okay, go on before they destroy my house." Bella said, pushing the girl towards the window.

Leah stopped her movements and tugged her girl closer then leaned in and kissed her lips deeply before pulling away and walking to the window. She looked out the window at the pack down below laughing and looking up at her, urging her to hurry up before she turned back to her mate. "I'll meet you at the altar."

"I'll be the one in white." Bella smiled back, causing the Native girl to smile in response.

"Good, cause I'll be the one in black." She smirked then hopped out of the window and down to the rest of the pack who shoved and teased her playfully before they all rushed into the woods.

After Leah had gone, Bella walked to the lights and switched them off before climbing into bed and relaxing then closing her eyes to get some much needed rest which were orders given to her by Alice earlier that day.

While Bella slept that evening, she had a very realistic dream of herself walking down a white carpet with red rose pedals falling all around her. She held a bouquet of red roses and on either side of her were all her friends and family dressed in white. At the alter, waiting for her was Leah, in a beautiful white dress with a single red rose pinned to one side. A bright smile playing on her lips as she reached her hand out and took Bella's and moved her up the three steps, so that they were in view of everyone watching them.

When they both turned towards the Priest, Bella was surprised to see The Volturi's three main leaders standing before them in black. She quickly looked behind her and to see all the once full chairs empty and the rose pedels turning to blood which lead the mountain of dead bodies of all her friends and family laying there covered in blood. Turning to Leah, she was even more shocked to see Edward now stood in a white suit and a red rose pinned to one side, blood dripping from his mouth and onto the white suit as he tosses Leah's drained dead body into the pile of dead bodies.

Chapter 10!

Sorry to have kept you waiting. I was trying to figure out how I wanted things to go but I think I got it down now. So expect more chapters to follow closely behind this one. And I'm wondering how many caught the middle name of Leah. Those of you who are Glee fans probably caught it right away. Any way, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'll update as soon as possible. Please give me your thoughts.

Review!
