Chapter Ten

*Renesmee's POV*

There was no doubt that I had butterflies in my stomach as I crossed off the days on the calendar. June 16th was in three days, that meant it was crackdown time.

Everywhere I went it was wedding this, wedding that, wedding, wedding, marriage- It was all over the place. I won't lie, it was getting on my nerves. Of course my mom found it a bit funny, but she's been especially helpful when it came to Aunt Alice. It was definitely go time for my aunt and I know she was trying to make everything as perfect as possible, but to be honest, as long as we had a good time and there was a ring on my finger, I'd be fine.

"I never thought I would be attending Renesmee Cullen's wedding," Nikki said to me as the two of us looked through magazines on the back porch of the main house. Richie was right beside her talking about cars or something to Jake.

"And to think, Nikki Henry would be coming to my wedding," I responded, smiling at my childhood friend. "Too bad Sarah and Irene couldn't be here."

About two weeks ago I reunited with two of my childhood best friends, Nikki and Richie. I had known them when I first attended school back in the third grade. Along with them I had befriended two other girls, Sarah and Irene. The five of us were pretty close that year and letting go of them had been one of the hardest things I'd ever done, but I guess it worked out in my favor, in some way.

"It's okay. They're doing good," Nikki said, smiling happily. "We have one more year until we graduate, but Sarah's looking into design school in New York with her girlfriend. Crazy, if you ask me, but they work well together. As for Irene, she's going into physics. She got into Stanford."

"That's so good," I said, smiling at the thought.

"Speaking of which, we gotta meet a few people in an hour," Richie said, looking down at his watch. "Celebrating our new seniority."

"That's exciting," I said, grinning. "Senior year is a ton of fun. You'll love it."

Nikki snorted, "To think, you're younger than us, we were in the same grade, and now you already graduated."

"What can I say, it's the lifestyle," I joked.

"Well, we'll see you for the wedding," Nikki said as she and Richie then said goodbye to me and Jacob before heading out.

"Nic's so much like her grandmother, Esther," Daniel commented to me as he came outside with his boyfriend, George. They were holding hands as they watched the car pull away.

"I'm still really sorry about your loss," I said to him sadly.

"It's okay. I was able to be there for her final moments," Daniel told me. "You know, she was there for me when my mom died. Helped raise me until I was old enough."

"She sounded like a wonderful woman," I said, giving him a soft smile.

"She sure was," Daniel responded, giving me a soft smile.

"Aw guys," Lily said, walking over and wrapping an arm around Daniel's shoulder. "Let's cheer up. This is going to be a happy weekend, plus it's almost time for the bachelorette party!"

"I think you mean, bachelor party, dear sister," Aidan declared, walking over with a pair of sunglasses on his nose.

Jacob and I both shared looks with one another, mine more so amused compared to Jake's slightly terrified one.

"Don't tell me you two planned them?" Jacob asked.

"Of course! Well, mine was more of a team effort with the groomsmen!" Aidan said, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "Don't worry, you'll have a fun time."

"As long as there's no strippers," Jacob said dryly.

I giggled as I pressed a kiss to his cheek. Jacob's cheeks turned a slight pink while Aidan whisked him away. "See you later," I told him.

"If I make it out alive," Jacob quipped.

"Love you," I replied, grinning.

"Love you too," he said, smiling before being dragged away into the house by Aidan. I sighed, turning to Lily who was smiling brightly.

"Now, run along boys. You're invited to the bachelor party as well," Lily said, shooing George and Daniel away. "I need to take Miss Renesmee to her well awaited party."

"Of course," Daniel replied, chuckling before walking away, hand and hand, with George.

I then turned to my cousin who had a mischievous smile on her face.

"Where are we going?" I asked her as she then grabbed my hand.

"You'll see, but first, you need this," she said, handing me a blindfold.

"Oh brother," I muttered as she placed it over my eyes, causing all remaining daylight to disappear. "How were you planning on getting me to said location," I pointed out, hands on my hips.

"I got you covered," Lily said. Without warning I suddenly found myself on her back, gripping for dear life.

"Jeez, we haven't done this since we were kids," I stated flatly.

"Don't worry, I won't drop ya cuz," she replied, causing me to yelp a bit as we began to rush through the wilderness. It wasn't a long duration because soon, Lily was plopping me off her back and dragging me through a doorway.

"Is this where you kill me?" I joked.

"Oh stop it," Lily said, giggling. "Just a few more steps and…Here we go!"

She then flung the blindfold off my eyes dramatically. I blinked, taking in my surroundings as everyone shouted, "Surprise!"

I was in Grace and Masen's living room right now. The entire place was decked out with all sorts of decorations but more importantly Grace, Lizzy, Abby, Dru, Cordelia, Leah, Iris, Jennifer, Maysun, Jo, Hazel, and Violet.

"Oh my gosh," I whispered as I was them swarmed by all my friends and family with hugs and kisses.

"Here's to your last night as a unmarried woman!" Jen chimed, handing me a glass of champagne.

"Guys, you really didn't have to do this," I said.

"Of course we did," Abby said, rolling her eyes.

"You mean a lot to us Renesmee and this is one way us girls can give back to you," Grace insisted, linking arms with me.

"Well I'm still very grateful," I insisted, my cheeks tinted with pink.

"Rebecca, Rachel, and Emily wanted to say sorry because they couldn't make it," Leah told me. "Little Xavier's got a bit of a cold, so Paul and Rach are staying in and Rebecca and Solomon are flying in tonight so we decided to give them a break with the time difference. As for Emily, she and Sam are staying in with the kids tonight."

"It's okay, as long as they're at the wedding," I replied, smiling.

"Here!" Lizzy exclaimed, walking over to place a crown on my head that read bride and a matching sash to go with it.

"We also have matching pajamas, curtsey of Aunt Alice," Lily said, walking over to hand me a pair of white flannel pjs.

"And not to mention we got some pretty nifty party games," Leah added mischievously.

"Really?" I yelped, looking at the female wolf in surprise.

"Yeah," Lily exclaimed, wrapping an arm around Leah's shoulder. "You'd be surprised at how much experience Leah's got with these things."

"Hey, this isn't my first wedding," Leah remarked lightly. "I know the drill. I've been a bridesmaid quite a few times."

"Trust me, it won't be anything absolutely wild," Lizzy said, smiling at me. "I made sure. Alcohol is the craziest thing at this party."

"Oh boy," I said, chuckling. With that, me and all the girls got ready and circled around the living room, champagne in hand and smiles plastered on.

"So…Nervous?" Cordelia asked me as I took a sip midway through champagne.

"I mean, a bit," I confessed. "But of course, it'll be okay. I'm marrying Jake and it's something I've been looking forward to for the last three years."

"Why are you getting married so late?" Dru asked curiously.

"Well, I couldn't get married without my maid of honor," I stated proudly, smiling towards my little sister who was blushing.

"Aw, that's so sweet," Iris gushed, leaning against Dru's shoulder.

"Speaking of, who's the best man?" Maysun asked as she poured herself another glass of champagne with Violet. "I've been meaning to ask."

"Jake didn't tell anyone, did he?" Grace added.

"No, he didn't," I said, shaking my head. "In fact, he didn't pick one out until the other day."

"Of course he didn't," Leah said, shaking her head.

"In fact, he's telling the lucky guy tonight," I told everyone.

"Ooo! Who is it?" Jen asked excitedly, bouncing up and down in her seat.

"I mean, we should know by now! Especially Lizzy," Lily teased.

"Why?" Lizzy questioned, frowning in confusion.

"I mean, you know what they say," Lily continued. "The maid of honor always hooks up with the best man."

"Lily," I berated, even though my cousin just shrugged and gave me a sly grin. Meanwhile my sister was starting to blush.

"So who is it?" Abby questioned curiously.

"Ah, well…it's Seth," I confessed hesitantly, biting my lip as I looked at Lizzy, who was a deep scarlet. Leah sent her a wary glance while the others were trying not to say anything or were holding back their giggles.

"Anyway, this is going to be a big wedding," Jen said, coughing as she nudged Leah in the ribs for starring down Lizzy a little bit too long.

"Yeah, it is," Leah agreed, scratching the back of her head.

"I guess," I said, shrugging. "I mean, it's really just family and friends…"

"Who are also vampires and wolves," Abby pointed out with raised eyebrows.

"Oh! It's gonna be like a royal wedding but for the supernatural world!" Violet gushed excitedly.

"The wedding of a century!" Iris chimed in, which earned a shaking of the head by Jo.

"Wedding of the century, wow," I said. "Didn't think of it like that."

"No wonder Alice is losing her head for this wedding," Grace said. "My wedding and Dru and Iris's didn't have this many people. I mean, Mase and I had some of the pack but not many. Just the ones we knew. You're gonna have the entire Quileute tribe and at least ten different vampire covens."

"Don't forget all the witch clans as well," Cordelia added.

"You did invite everyone at the house," Jo pointed out.

"That includes all the nomads- Peter, Charlotte, Mary, Randall, George, Fred, plus those two new ones Fred hooked in Shelly and Steve who also escaped Victoria's army," Maysun said. "Then there's the Amazon coven, the Egyptian coven, the Irish coven, and of course the Denali's."

"The Romanians don't count because they don't like fun," Abby remarked under her breath.

"Or us," Cordelia added, rolling her eyes.

"And the witch clans: the Okafors, the Espinozas, the Roys, and the Xies," Hazel added. "Our mother, father, Ada, Daniel, Jian, Esther's relatives, and our allies."

"Then there's my family- my mom, dad, Aunt Ava, Uncle Zach, Tommy, Lexie," Grace said.

"Then of course the Black family and the entire tribe," Leah pointed out. "Including the original wolf pack, our new members, their parents, and anyone who knows about your secret basically."

"Jeez," I squeaked, rubbing my cheek. "I never thought about it like that before…"

"I think you guys broke her," Lizzy commented, waving a hand in front of my face.

"I'm fine," I insisted, shaking the thought out of my head. "I mean, it's gonna be a ton of fun and I'm gonna marry the man I love."

"It's definitely going to be a night to remember," Lily said in a low voice.

"Hey, why don't we have some fun!" Jen exclaimed, standing up. "This is a bachelorette party, isn't it? We're supposed to be celebrating not freaking the bride out!"

"Exactly!" Iris said, wrapping an arm around Jennifer's shoulder. "Now why don't we play some of those games Lily brought."

"Oh yes!" Lily cheered, grinning mischievously as she "I think you'll all be pleased with my bag of tricks!"

"Is there a pin the condom on the willy in here?" Abby asked, wide eyed as she watched Lily toss the contents of the bag onto the floor.

"Are all these items dick shaped?" Jo questioned, looking through the items scattered on the rung.

I raised my eyebrows at my cousin who shrugged. "What! You said no strippers so I had to get the next best thing, inappropriate toys."

"I mean, this is a lot more tone down to the strip club someone dragged me to the night before mine," Cordelia said dryly, looking towards her sister who gave her a sheepish smile.

"I thought it would be fun," Dru said, bright red.

"You guys went to a strip club?" I asked, chuckling.

"Yeah, Dru took me and Cordy," Maysun chimed, giving Cordelia a playful nudge. "It was fun. I mean, Dru surely had fun with that one guy and then of course, there was that girl…"

"Oh yeah, right…That" Dru muttered, which earned a suspicious look from Iris.

"I went with Emily and her bridal party for her bachelorette party while Paul took Sam and his groomsman to one," Leah remarked with a chuckle. "We ended up leaving midway through and headed to a local bar instead. That was ten times better."

"Isn't that how you met Casey?" Jen asked, causing Leah to nod her head up and down.

"Ooo, who was Casey?" Grace inquired, raising her eyebrows.

"An ex-boyfriend perhaps?" Cordelia questioned.

"More like ex-girlfriend," Leah stated with a smirk.

"Wait, you're not straight!" Dru exclaimed. "How did I not know this!?"

"I mean yeah, I didn't think it was much of a big deal," Leah said, shrugging. "I don't know, I guess I'm bisexual but I never exactly put a label to it. I don't really like them."

"Wait, when did this happen?" Lily asked curiously.

"It's always been there, kind of, but it mostly came about when you kids moved to that island," Leah explained.

"Lily! You know Casey!" I chimed in, nudging my cousin. "Remember? They were dating when we would come up to Forks for the summer. She had long brown hair, we braided it a couple of times when Aunt Alice taught us how to fishtail."

"Oh! Casey!" Lily said, realization hitting her face. "Right, poor girl let us do that for an hour!"

"Yeah, she was definitely a patient one," I said, chuckling.

"So you two were dating?" Lily asked, turning the attention back to Leah.

"I mean, it was kind of on the down low. I'm not exactly out to a lot of the people in tribe," Leah told us. "Not because I'm ashamed, but I just wanted time to discover myself. I wanted me time since I have to practically share everything with those bozos. Plus, the only person I dated seriously before Casey was Sam. There were a couple of guys I met through college, but none of them lasted. Then…I don't know, Casey happened. We had fun together and I really loved her."

"Then what happened?" Abby questioned.

"I imprinted on Tommy…" Leah explained, her voice a little sad. "I mean, we still dated but then…it just…"

"It didn't feel right," Lizzy blurted out, causing the others to look at her suspiciously. "I mean, dating Casey. It felt wrong, didn't it? Like you were betraying Tommy…"

"Yeah, exactly," Leah said, nodding her head. "It didn't feel the same as it once did, the connection between us was just gone. We decided to part on mutual ways and well, she moved to New Mexico to be closer to her parents. Pretty sure she's dating someone else now."

"Aw, I'm sorry to hear that Leah," Iris said sympathetically.

"It's okay," the female wolf said. "I still tried dating after Casey to see what was up. I saw a couple of people. There was Mark, Louise, Frank, and recently there was Mandy- who Jen knows about."

"Mandy was interesting," Jen commented thoughtfully. "She was a relator. Explained to me about the property value of the area. She was definitely better than Frank though, he liked to make model airplanes for a living and mansplained the Star Wars saga to me."

"Ew," Hazel said, nose scrunching up.

"Anyway, nothing has fit since," Leah explained. "I just feel responsible for Tommy. I don't know- it's weird, having an imprint and all."

"It is," Lizzy and I replied simultaneously.

"I don't know, but I'm still gonna see people," Leah declared. "Imprinting isn't my end all be all."

"That's what Tinder is for," Jen sung.

"Man, I wish I could get one of those," Violet remarked, leaning back against the seat. "Sucks to be immortal."

"I mean, technically you could," Hazel responded as we all began to play one of Lily's odd games.

"Yeah, but there's always a risk of having your picture on the internet," I pipped up. "That's Cullen rule number one when it comes to starting a new high school."

"No Instagram, no Facebook," Lily explained. "Except for Twitter. You can be anonymous with that."

"What do you even need a twitter for?" I asked, my nose scrunching up.

"No particular reason. I got it when I went through that One Direction phase," Lily explained, shrugging. "And I mean, now it's just useful to know what's going on in the world."

"If we lived centuries without technology, I'm sure you all can," Hazel commented dryly.

"We can, but also, you can't help but marvel at what it's come to," Maysun mentioned. "I hate that people nowadays give the younger gen crap for all this really cool stuff. I was born in 1820s Algeria. Death, disease, and all those things technology cures now ran rapid. The good old days when the common cold could kill you. Man, I wish I had half the shit everyone has now back then."

"I agree," Violet chimed in.

"Come on, can we stop it with the heavy and play some stupid games?" Abby groaned.

"She's right, we-"

Before I could finish, a loud crash from upstairs took us all by surprise. Suddenly, we found ourselves on the prowl, a group of powerful vampire, werewolf, witches, and hybrids all circling around to see who was breaking into the household.

"Let me go get my bat," Lily whispered.

"What the hell is that going to do?" Grace hissed. "Anyway, it's upstairs!"

"No, it's around here somewhere," Lily insisted, rummaging through all her things. "I was teaching Ty how to use it the other day. Kid's gotta be prepared for a Cullen baseball game."

"They're making their way downstairs," Cordelia announced. "I can hear their footsteps."

"We should just get out of here," Iris remarked.

"No, they could have this place surrounded," Dru mentioned.

"I don't think so," Leah said. "I think it's-"

"Let's go get 'em!" Abby whispered as the footsteps got louder, echoing down the stairs.

"I don't think that's a good idea," Lizzy said. "Because-"

"Come at me!" Lily yelled from behind us. I could hear a scream and a loud bang, causing all of us to freeze in our spots.

*Jacob's POV*

"You really want me to be the best man?" Seth asked, looking at me with wide brown eyes.

I nodded, smiling widely, "Of course, I couldn't think of anyone better for the job!"

"I mean, what about Embry? Or Quil?" Seth asked, looking in the direction of my two best friends. They were rough housing right now with Colin and Brady. "They've always been loyal to you and your best friends…"

"You're my best friend too, Seth," I pointed out, placing an arm around his shoulder. "For the last decade, give or take, you've been at my side when it came to everything. From spending summers in Brazil to moving all the way to New York with me…"

"Really?" Seth said, his voice full of emotion.

"Really," I confirmed, smiling back at him. "I mean…You're the little brother I never had and…The little brother I've always wanted."

"Oh Jake!" he cried, wrapping his arms tightly around my waist. I froze, surprised by the gesture, but went to gently pat his back.

"There, there," I said, shaking my head as he then swirled me around.

"You just made me the happiest wolf on the planet," Seth exclaimed as we pulled away.

"Yeah, don't make me regret it," I teased, ruffling the top of his head.

"I'm sorry, I thought this was a bachelor party! Not a heart to heart!" Brady shouted at the two of us.

"Hey how about you get off your masculine high horse!" I commented right back.

"This is 2017! A dude can hug his friend if he wants to!" Seth added. "In fact, we should all hug more."

"Pushing it, bud," I said, patting his back as we walked over towards the guys. Along with Seth, Embry, Quil, Colin, and Brady, I had some of the other guys including Ethan, Masen, Jackson, Lucas, Aidan, Daniel, Robert, and George.

"Alright, so what are we doing?" Jackson asked, rubbing his hands together.

"Because if y'all don't got any good ideas, Jack and I have quite a few up our sleeves," Lucas said.

"You don't want to know what they got," Robert said dryly. "I don't even want to think of my bachelor party."

"Aw come on, it wasn't that bad," Lucas said.

"No, it was," Robert remarked, shaking his head. "Do we even need to bring up what happened?"

"Hey, it was crazy but we also agreed to never speak of it again," Jackson said, narrowing his eyes at Robert.

"Jeez, you guys act like we killed a man," Lucas snorted.

"Something died that day, Rider, if you remember," Robert stated firmly.

"Our dignity!" Jackson exclaimed.

I raised my eyebrows, "Do I even ask?"

"I mean…"

"No."

"Never again."

"Anyway, as the official best man, I am going to declare for the bachelor's party to commence!" Seth shouted, jumping up and down.

"To the beach!" Quil exclaimed, rushing forward and jumping on my back. I cried out in surprise, but I couldn't help but laugh. Soon, us guys were making our way to the bonfire we were beginning to create.

"Man, to believe about ten years ago we were trash talking the Cullen's right here to Bella Swan's face," Embry remarked, taking a long sip from his beer.

"Be glad Sam's not here," Colin added, chuckling. "Considering he's a family man and all now…"

"Now here we are, Jake's marrying into that same family and we're celebrating his upcoming marriage with said cold ones," Quil summarized.

"What's that supposed to mean?" George questioned, nose scrunching up in confusion.

"It means the tribe hated our family for the longest time," Masen explained.

"Hate's a strong word," Seth said, trailing off a bit.

"No, we hated them," I concluded, playing around with the flames in front of me with a piece of driftwood. "It was how we were raised. Then the whole incident with Victoria happened, we teamed up together for political reasons, and then well, things got dicey again. Bella got pregnant. We had a treaty with the Cullen's saying they were not allowed to change her in Forks. We also thought the baby was a demon…It was a complicated time."

"Dude…You thought your future wife was going to be a demon?" Jackson repeated slowly. "What the fu-"

"I mean, it was fine after, right?" George said, cutting him off.

"Eh," I bit my lip. "I mean, I imprinted on Ness. Anyone who's imprinted on a child can tell you, it's bizarre. You don't know what to do. Theoretically, Nessie and my union through that bond unified us for good and I mean, the wedding will definitely solidify that, but it came with it's obstacles…"

"Like allowing them to grow up without us, being a free babysitter, being the odd ones of the pack, and also suddenly unifying with the people you were taught to hate," Seth explained. "Even though I never hated the Cullen's…"

"You always loved them," I said, chuckling. "I think you were their favorite for the longest time. You worshipped the ground Edward walked on. He had such a soft spot for you."

"Until I imprinted on Lizzy," Seth muttered, taking a long sip of his beer.

"So does that mean you're the next lucky couple?" Daniel teased.

Seth blanched at this while Aidan then interjected. "Oh no, it's not going to be them. I hate to admit it, but it's hands down my sister and Ethan."

"Excuse me?" Ethan choked, looking at Aidan incredulously.

"I can read her mind. We share thoughts," Aidan said, rolling his eyes. "Not that she's said anything, but let's be real. You two always follow close behind Ness, Jake, Grace, and Masen. It's obviously going to be you guys."

"What about you and Jen?" Masen pointed out.

"We don't want to get married for a long time," Aidan said, shaking his head. "Or when this all is over. I don't know, when the time's right."

"We Williams are free sprits," Jackson stated smugly.

"Explains why you haven't asked May the question yet?" Robert inquired slyly.

Jackson blushed at this. "Well, I mean, commitment issues and all…"

"Oh hush, Jack. The two of you are so involved with one another. Might as well tie the knot, make it official," Lucas said, drinking his beer. "The great thing about us is, we mate. We find one person and it's for life. Makes it simple."

"So does that mean I should be telling you to go elope with Abby right about now?" Jackson shot back.

Lucas coughed on his beer. "Not unless I want Alice and Jasper skinning me alive. They just got their daughter back. They don't need me waltzing in and suggesting marriage. Especially since they aren't exactly my biggest fan right now and everything's kind of falling apart so…"

"Plus we don't want to overexert ourselves with weddings," Ethan added. "Immortality and all."

"Well save space for ours. We're the mortal ones here," Quil said, wrapping his arms around Embry and Brady's shoulders.

My blood grew cold at these words. I swallowed hard and took a long sip of my beer. The one thing I choose to ignore. I know my friends are getting older and I'm still here, forever at the age of 20. I haven't stopped aging for Ness and neither will Seth or Leah. The three of us going to be floating into infinity. That being said, I tried no to think of the thought of losing them all one day.

"Well duh!" Aidan said, rolling his eyes. "Speaking off, planing to ask Carly one day? She's a settle down kind of gal."

"I plan to," Embry said, shrugging. "But not now. The two of us are enjoying ourselves. We've been together for like a few months now and we're just starting to really get serious. Meeting parents serious, so who the hell knows. We just want to take it slow and enjoy the moments, ya know?"

"That's a mood," Lucas said, holding his beer up.

"Man, this bachelor's party is getting kind of depressing," Aidan stated, leaning back against the log he was occupying.

"Really!?" Seth squeaked.

"It's fine," I said, shaking my head at Aidan. "If it's so boring, then what do you propose we do?"

"Prank the girls," Aidan replied slyly, a mischievous grin on his face.

"Oh no…"

"Oh yes," Aidan said, jumping up. "I mean, come on guys! It'll be a ton of fun! Think about it, please. Pretty please-"

"I think we should do it," Jackson said, standing up. "I mean, might as well raise a bit of hell and it could be funny."

"Or end lives," Robert remarked.

"It can't hurt," Quil said, shrugging. "Come on…I mean, well it's up to Jake being the man of the hour and all."

I laughed, shaking my head. To be honest, we all had enough alcohol in our system to make this absolutely ridiculous. I sighed and looked down at the fire.

"Fine, but let's wait until the fire goes out and then we make our attack. Got it?"

"Got it, chief!" Aidan exclaimed excitedly, saluting me.

I laughed as we enjoyed the booze and fire for a little longer. Without skipping a beat, we all then transformed into our supernatural selves and headed towards Masen and Grace's house. The lights were all on in the house and I could automatically hear the girl's laughter penetrating the area.

"So, how do you wanna do this?" Jackson asked curiously.

"Why don't we ask Mase, it's his house," Brady pointed out.

"Don't look at me! I want nothing to do with this!" Masen shot back.

"So why did you come then?" Lucas challenged.

"I don't know!"

"Calm down," Ethan said, cutting them off. "Before they hear us. Anyway, try the attic window. Lily might've let it open a crack because it gets stuffy in there."

"It's open!" Aidan confirmed before beginning to scale the house. "Follow me, boys."

"Oh brother," I said, following closely behind Aidan. It wasn't hard to climb up to the top of the house, even if Seth and Colin both almost lost their balances, each of us did a great job sneaking through the attic window and into the home.

"Close one," George said, wincing.

"We should be better at this! We're supernatural creatures, boys!" Lucas exclaimed, even though his words were a bit slurred now.

"Yeah, supernatural creatures who are all buzzed," I quipped, stumbling around Ethan and Lily's room. There were clothes all over the place along with boxes strung open, spewing all different sorts of contents.

"I never realized how messy you people were," Masen said, looking around.

"Well this is the first time you've come up here since we moved in," Ethan pointed out.

"I mean there's no need for me to go up here. You and Lily are adults, I don't need to tell you to get up or make you breakfast," Masen pointed out. "The only time I got close was to tell you two to keep it down."

"You're one to talk," Ethan shot back.

"Ew, I don't need a mental image. That's my sister," Aidan said, shutting his eyes tightly.

"And mine," Robert added, frowning in Masen's direction.

"Come on, it's not like we hide it," Masen hissed. "We have two kids! Grace was a teen mom!"

"Alright, how about we focus on scaring the girls?" Daniel said, raising his eyebrows at the others.

"Couldn't agree more," I muttered.

"How are we supposed to do this?" Brady questioned. "We just pop out?"

"I guess," I said, biting my lip.

"Don't worry, I got this," Aidan insisted, walking forward and throwing a sheet from Lily and Ethan's moving boxes over him. "Follow me!"

"Oh brother," I muttered as we trailed behind the goofiest member of the family. We were trying to be quiet, but it didn't help Lucas, Jackson, Brady, Colin, and Embry were giggling like preschoolers while Masen, Ethan, Quil and Robert kept muttering stuff under their breath.

"I think we almost got them!" Aidan exclaimed, stomping closer to the living room. Before he could make another move, I watched a shiny metal baseball bat strike him right across the back.

"What the-"

"Ahhh!" the figure screamed, who kept swinging the bat around like a maniac. I ducked to the floor and was bracing for impact when I noticed Ethan's hand reaching out and grabbing the bat.

"Babe! Babe! Babe! Chill!"

The lights then turned on to reveal a heaving Lily, bat in hand, while Ethan has a wild look in his eye. Aidan's sprawled out on the floor, groaning, and so are Lucas and Seth.

"What's going on?" I then turn to see all the girls, starring at us from the doorway of the kitchen. Renesmee looks directly at me and raises her eyebrows.

"It wasn't my idea!" I exclaimed right away, putting my hands up.

"It was Aidan!" Masen squeaked, pointing to the boy on the ground.

"Aide!" Jen exclaimed, kneeling down to help her boyfriend up.

"Oh shit, Aide. Sorry about that," Lily said, quickly realizing what she did.

"You better be, woman," Aidan coughed out as Jen helped him out.

"Well you should be saying sorry too," Grace pointed out. "You idiots shouldn't have scared us in a time like this! Who the hell knows who it could've been!"

"Alright, it was a bit tacky on our part," Embry announced. "We'll take blame."

"Sorry, Jake. I just wanted to make it the best bachelor's party," Seth apologized.

"It's okay, bud," I said, smiling gratefully at him.

"I didn't meant for the maid of honor to take it out on everyone," Seth said, motioning to Lily who frowned in confusion.

"Maid of honor?" Lily repeated slowly. "Wait…Me?"

"Yeah, aren't you the maid of honor?" Seth said, frowning.

"Ah, no." We all turn to Lizzy who's a bright, tomato red. "That would be me."

"Oh," Seth squeaked, swallowing hard as his cheeks turned pink.

"Anyway, the night isn't over yet," I announced, clearing my throat as I looked at the boys.

"I guess since you're all here, might as well have a conjoined party," Renesmee remarked, walking over and snaking into my side. I smiled, bringing her close to me. "We can still party together. No biggie. Might be better anyway."

"Sounds good to me," Jackson said, rubbing his hands together as he then winked at Maysun who blushed.

"Come on, impromptu dance party!" Dru shouted, bouncing all around us. Meanwhile, Iris had turned on the speakers, allowing music to flood through the house.

"Let's go, Aidan," Lily said, chuckling as she picked her brother up by the arms from Jen and began to swing him around.

I laughed, looking at Renesmee before swinging her around and joining our friends and family in the festivities. For the first time in months, everyone was smiling and I, for one, was actually excited for what's to come.
