Edrose- I'm glad you didn't give up hope. I want you to enjoy this chapter, so I made sure it was extra long just for you.
A/N- There is a flashback within a flashback, sorry but it worked better that way. For me at least. Some of the characters are out of well their normal character area, but hey it's my story and I needed them to be for this chapter to flow. Enjoy :)
"I'm sorry, I thought I misunderstood you pixie. I think you said that the blonde barbie was supposed to bite my fiancee!" Jacob growled in his tuxedo as he fisted his hands together, towering over the short brunette, who was in a short purple dress with straps that wrapped around her neck and a tasteful brooch in the middle of the front of the dress, close to the top of it.
Hearing a growl, everyone glanced towards the entrance of the living room. "Jazzy, he won't hurt me. Now breathe. Both of you actually. That was more than two weeks ago, I don't see why you're so upset about it." Alice said, before continuing to walk through the living room, making sure all the decorations looked perfect.
"Oh maybe because the fact that I wanted to kill the blonde! Do you not remember? Edward and I fought because of that!" Jacob said, only to have Alice try to calm him down again.
"Oh please, I wouldn't exactly say you were going to kill each other..." She trailed off.
Flashback Two Weeks Earlier
"Marry me." They requested.
"Yes, yes of course." She replied before leaning up and kissing him deeply.
Letting out a sigh of relief, he leaned down and kissed her again. "You don't know how long I've waited for you to say that to me." Edward told her.
"Probably a little less than what I've waited for you to ask it." Rosalie replied as she gently traced the frame of his face. "I finally have you." She whispered, more to herself, still trying to make sure that it was real and wasn't a dream.
"You're stuck with me now." Edward said as he gently kissed her forehead, he could still hear the doubts in her head swimming around and wanted nothing more than to vanish them from her head completely, but it was one step at a time. She had said 'yes' to him and that was a huge step, he would make sure that Rosalie knew that she was it for him this time. No more games or being a masochist or any other nonsense as their family had put it.
"We should tell everyone else." Rosalie said absentmindedly while Edward laced her fingers through his.
"I think that might have to wait." Edward said just before a scream erupted through the house.
Causing Edward and Rosalie to jump from the bed, Edward standing protectively in front of Rosalie just in case. Making their way slowly to the bedroom door, Edward opened it and peered out as he saw Carlisle followed by Esme, Jasper, and Alice down the hallway towards Emmett and Emily's room.
"Is she okay?" Rosalie said as she pushed herself past Edward and began following the others.
Snarling slightly, "As okay as you can be after being bitten." Jasper told them.
Causing Rosalie to gasp and a look of confusion crossed Edward's face. "I thought I had heard him wrong, but Emmett bit her?"
"This was how it's supposed to happen. Just calm down everyone." Alice said, causing everyone to look at her. "Carlisle, go check on her. Send Emmett out here, he needs us. Esme call Bella and Jacob, then go in there and console Emily. She needs a mother figure now. The rest of us, will just play the waiting game and keep Emmett's mind in a positive area." Alice instructed just as Emmett walked out of the bedroom, with dried blood on his shirt, slightly on his hands, and his lower face.
"I shouldn't have listened to her." Emmett whispered, but they still heard him. "She just kept saying that it felt right and promising me it was all gonna be okay. I don't know, I usually have such good control but the way she kept reassuring me-I had to give her what she wanted." Emmett said before he collapsed against the wall, only to have Jasper and Edward go to his sides and start helping him down the stairs.
Flashback
Looking down at her, he couldn't help but smile. He seemed to be doing that a lot lately, smiling. Emmett just couldn't help it. He felt whole with Emily, like a light had been missing from his life and once he had set his eyes on her back in the New York bar, this bright light had finally been turned on.
Leaning down, he softly kissed her, "Do you feel at home yet?" He joked while slowly unbuttoning her shirt, running his cold fingertips along her warm flat stomach.
"I always do when I'm with you." Emily answered honestly as she looked up into his eyes, seeing nothing but love as he looked back at her. She felt that she was finally where she belonged. Kissing him deeply, she tugged at the hem of his shirt before pulling it off as Emmett discarded her shirt also.
"You are so damn beautiful." Emmett told her, causing her to blush and himself to laugh. "I love that blush." He confessed as he ran his knuckles gently along her cheek.
"I love you Emmett." She replied as he began kissing down her jawline slowly.
Granted he had self control, but they had learned to pace themselves especially when Emily's blood started pumping faster. Rolling them over so Emily was on top to keep the pace, Emmett moaned slightly as he felt Emily kissing down his jawline and start nipping at his neck. "Fuck baby...don't do that or I'll want to return the favor." He teased as he felt her pull away and look down at him.
"Then why don't you?" She questioned very seriously.
Sighing, Emmett sat up but made sure to keep Emily in his lap. "Emmy...you know we had this all planned out. I remember being turned and it was so painful, I wished for death. Changing you is going to be hard enough...knowing I caused that pain, I'll never be able to forgive myself." He confessed to her.
Cupping his face gently, Emily laughed for a moment a the fact that she looked like a midget compared to him. It was what made them work, they were complete opposites on so many levels but they were the perfect pieces that fit together with one another. "Emmett, I would understand that if you did it against my will but I want this. I want to be with you forever. I want to be able to make all these memories with you because I've already missed out on your love enough and I can't go another day without it." Emily said as she felt tears start welling up in her eyes, because the love and happiness she felt whenever she was with him, overwhelmed her so much but she would never regret it.
"Baby don't cry, please." He said sadly as he wiped the few tears that had escaped her eyes, he felt his heart break because he had upset her.
"These are happy tears Emmett, you make me so happy. So just do this for me, for us." Emily said as she laced her fingers with his. "It'll be okay, I know it. It feels right." She reassured him.
"Emily-" Emmett began again, only for her to cut him off.
"You are my written in the stars story, do we really want to deny fate?" Emily questioned with a smile, knowing she had won.
"No, because fate brought me you." Emmett agreed in a soft voice before kissing her lips once more. This kiss was different, it had every emotion either of them had ever felt for one another in their short time together. It was also Emmett remembering forever, imprinting in his mind, what her warm lips felt against his cool ones.
Breaking the kiss slowly, Emmett began slowly kissing down Emily's jawline and towards her neck. Inhaling her scent that drove him wild, he dipped his tongue out of his mouth and licked her neck slightly causing a moan to elicit from her lips. Slowly opening his mouth wider, he let the tips of her teeth rest on her neck before he felt Emily move her neck into his teeth. It was that one movement that caused Emmett to sink his teeth into Emily's neck, cutting through the skin and causing blood to flow from her veins and into his mouth.
Moaning slightly at the taste, Emmett continued drinking the blood for a couple minutes to have his venom spread into her veins before slowly pulling away and looking at Emily with a smile.
"It's okay. Promise." Emily said with a lazy smile and a dazed look on her face. It was then that Emmett felt something terrible had happened, and it was confirmed as Emily let out a blood curdling scream.
"AHHHHHHHH!" It was that moment, Emmett had realized the repercussions of giving into the demands of his human fiance. That caused his eyes to widen in panic and fear as he lay her on the bed and covered both his hands over the bite on her bleeding neck.
"No, it's okay. You're fine, we're fine. It's okay, remember?" He said as he brought her jerking body up into his arms. Rocking the both of them back and forth. "You promised, so it's okay. It's okay. It's okay." He kept repeating over and over again sounding like a broken record, and that's exactly how Carlisle had found the couple just a few moments later.
End Flashback
"I didn't want this for her." Emmett continued as he snapped out of his memory, "I mean I did but this just seems like a mess. I'm not going to be able to look at her knowing that I caused her this much pain. I just love her so much." He muttered brokenly as they sat him down on the couch.
"Emmett?" Rosalie questioned, as she took a seat next to him. Grabbing his trembling hands, before looking him in the eye. Even with hunger and heartache underneath her belt, she still had a grace and power about herself. "I'm the one that bit you remember?" She told him.
"Yeah, I called you my angel. My savior." Emmett said as he glanced up at her before looking down at his red blood stained hands. "Emily will never look at me that way, you saved my life. I just took hers away from her."
"Enough." Rosalie said in a stern voice. "I may have not talked to Emily recently, but when I first met her you what one of the first things she said to me was?" She asked, but before he could even reply "Emily told me that you gave her life and hope. That everyone else in her life had left her and that she truly believed you were the one person that she could count on, the one that would keep the promise that you would always be there for her. That you would never leave." Rosalie told him, seeing a look of confusion grow across his face. "Are you going to prove her wrong? Or are you going to be another person to break that promise and leave her Emmett?" She questioned, looking Emmett in the eye.
"You're not gonna leave me when I'm changing are you?" Bella asked Jacob as they drove towards the Cullen's residence. It had been nagging her in the back of her head, but since Emily was going through her change, it made everything seem more real to her.
Looking over at his brunette fiance, a confused look overtook his face. "What are you talking about Bells?" He asked as he started up the curvy driveway to the mansion.
"I mean, it's going to be an instinct not to see me in pain without acting on it to make it better. Then it'll be another instinct to kill me, right?" She asked, causing Jacob to cringe at the word 'kill' as he put her truck in park and shut off the engine.
Turning towards her, he grabbed her legs and gently pulled her closer to him. "My only natural instinct is to love you Bella. I will always love you, even after your heart stops beating." He said as he kissed her nose, causing her to give him a small smile. "Now if the crazy pixie says that this is going to be the only way I can be with without having people after us trying to kill us then so be it. She's never... okay she's been wrong but whatever. I'm going to take her word this one time, so should you." Jacob said as he watched Bella lace their fingers together.
"I just...I almost lost you once, I don't think I could do it again. My heart wouldn't be able to take it." Bella confessed as she placed her free hand over where her heart lay.
"Then it's a good thing that my mission is to protect this with everything I have." Jacob told her as he placed his larger hand over hers.
"What did I ever do without you?" Bella whispered softly before leaning up and kissing him softly.
Smiling against her lips, "Probably go crazy with a bunch of vampires." He mumbled jokingly against her lips.
She couldn't help but laugh as they ended the kiss. "I love you Jacob Black."
"As I love you Isabella Swan...Black." He added softly while looking into her eyes.
"Hmm... I like the sound of that." She said while wrapping her arms around his neck. "Say it again." Bella whispered.
"Isabella...Black." Jacob whispered into her ear as he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close to his body. "Bella... Black." He added, but before anything else could happen a familiar voice cut through the enjoyed silence between the two.
"Can you guys get in here? We need all the help we can get." Alice called from the front porch before walking back into the house.
"I guess that's our a cue." Bella said as she reluctantly pulled herself away from her fiance and opened the door, climbing out of her truck.
Standing in front of her truck, she waited for Jacob before lacing her fingers through his and walking up the steps to the Cullen's front door. Passing through the already opened doorway, Bella was immediately met by a hug from Alice and a nod from Jasper.
"Em?" Bella said as she made her way into the living room where he was sitting, leaving Jacob alone with Alice and Jasper in the front hallway. The two of them had always had a brother/sister relationship. Shocked the family at first, but then they seemed to accept it. She always had been a weird part of the family.
"Hey Bella." Emmett said sullenly, automatically knowing something was already wrong with him since he didn't pull her into a bone crushing hug.
Sitting next to him on the couch, she grabbed his hand which she noticed had dried blood on it. "It's gonna be okay Em, I promise." Bella said as she rubbed his cool hand soothingly.
"You know...that's exactly what she kept telling me and look what I did to her." Emmett said as he heard the faint screams coming from the bedroom.
Not knowing what to say to him, Bella cleared her throat. "Why don't we get you cleaned up and you go in and sit with her okay? I'm sure she wants here there." She suggested as she helped him up from the couch.
"Before you object, just remember how horrible it was for you. She needs someone and you know that." She told him sternly before seeing him nod his head in agreement and walk towards the kitchen.
"Emmett." Edward said as he stood in the middle of the stairs.
Emmett immediately out of the kitchen, standing right next to Edward. "What? Is she okay, is something wrong? Tell me!" He demanded.
"She keeps saying your name." Rosalie said from the top of the stairs. "You promised her you'd be there." She reminded him, before she could say anymore Emmett was already passing her and headed into the bedroom, closing the door behind him.
Walking down the stairs towards Edward, she wrapped her arms around his neck and brought him close. "Hi." She whispered softly.
"Hello beautiful." Edward said with a smile as he brushed some of her loose hair behind her ear.
"Oh! It's about time!" Jacob said from the bottom of the stairs as he wrapped his arm Bella's waist and brought her closer to him.
Smiling, she looked away from Jacob and up at Rosalie and Edward. "I'll agree, it is about time you two." Bella agreed just as a gust of wind blew in from the still open front door.
Before Bella could even register what was going on, she was suddenly being pushed behind Jacob while Edward was holding back Rosalie who was bearing her teeth in Bella's direction.
"Get the leech away from her!" Jacob screamed as he stood protectively in front of Bella.
"I'm trying." Edward growled at Jacob before turning his completely attention to his fiance. He knew this wasn't her. She was just hungry, it had been a week, maybe even a little longer since she had eaten. It was just how they got, they couldn't control themselves. He was honestly surprised Rosalie didn't go after Emmett, dry blood or not.
"What's going on with her?" Bella asked from behind Jacob.
Shaking his head as he began pushing her towards the door. "She hasn't feed and you smell like lunch." Jacob told her with disgust in his voice.
"Rosalie. Rose. Look at me." Edward said as he kept himself in front of her, but cupped her face. "Look at me." He demanded, only catching her attention slightly. "Bella's our friend, remember? Just let me get you outside. Okay, you're just confused and hungry. You don't want to do this." He reminded her, a crease on his forehead, confused as to why she was trying harder to fight against him. Especially since she usually had more control then he did sometimes.
"It's okay." A voice said, confusing the hell out of Edward and Jacob. "Let her."
Turning around, he looked at his short brunette wife-to-be. "Are you nuts? I mean, I know we agreed that you were going to change, but we agreed that we would just like shoot venom into your veins. I didn't agree to some hungry leech feeding on you because it's snack time!" He told her. "I don't think I'll be able to... it's different when you actually have to deal with it Bells." He told her.
Cupping his face, she leaned up and gave him a kiss. "Hey, I wouldn't do anything against my will. You know that better than anyone." Bella told him with a smile. "This feels right and I trust Rosalie. I love you now let me do this." She stated as she looked at him, receiving a slow sad nod in agreement from him.
Slowly moving to the side, Jacob let out a heavy sigh as he watched Bella walk towards Edward and Rosalie.
"Rosalie" Bella said softly, earning both vampires attention. "It's okay Edward you can let her go." Going against his better judgment, Edward listened and slowly loosened the hold he had on his blonde fiance. Only taking a couple of small steps back from the pair of girls.
"Bella." Rosalie said with a dazzling smile as she took a small slow step towards.
Laughing slightly, "It's okay Rosalie. I know you won't hurt me anymore than you want to." She joked as she brushed back her hair, exposing her neck.
Shaking her head, "No, I'd blame myself if you can't wear your hair up on your wedding day." Rosalie said, surprising both the guys in the room. "How about right where your elbow bends? Can easily be hidden." Rosalie told her as Bella extended her arm and held it out towards Rosalie. Grabbing her arm gently, Rosalie sank her teeth into her flesh and began drinking her blood.
"Are you seriously going to let her do this?" Jacob said as he headed towards the two girls only to have Edward stand in front of him, bearing his teeth slightly.
"Back off Jacob." Edward growled at him, as he placed his hands on his chest to keep him away from the two girls.
Pushing Edward's hands off of him, "Don't touch me. You're just going to let her kill Bella?"
Sighing, Edward glanced over at the brunette and blonde standing a few feet away from him. "We all agreed to this, it's the only way you two can be together. Remember?" He told him.
"This is all happening way too fast and it's your fault." Jacob said as he fisted his hand and punched Edward in the mouth.
Reacting immediately, Edward hit Jacob back but before either could start fighting worse they were interrupted. "Can you two apes please act like adults." Rosalie said as she walked back down the stairs towards the two of them. They had missed her taking Bella upstairs to a bedroom and informing the others of what was going on. Along with cleaning herself up and changing her clothes.
"Where's Bella?" Jacob asked as he licked the blood from his busted lip.
Rolling her eyes, "Guest room, Carlisle's checking on her. She keeps saying your name, you probably would've noticed it if you oh I don't know were paying attention to her."
"You better pray she's okay." Jacob said as he began ascending the stairs.
Snorting slightly, "I'm sorry. You're fiance hangs out with vampires and mutts all day. And this is the one time you're worried about her." Rosalie couldn't help but laugh. "Okay then." She added just as she heard the bedroom door shut.
Crossing her arms, she looked over at Edward with a raised eyebrow. "What? He started it." Edward said, sounding like a five year old.
"Oh, I didn't know I was marrying a child." Rosalie stated as she walked towards him. "You saw how Emmett was reacting, did you really think that Jacob was going to be levelheaded about this?" She asked him.
"Well no, but he didn't have to hit me." Edward pouted slightly, hoping he could win a sympathy vote from his soon-to-be-wife.
"Oh, are you trying the pity card?" She asked while wrapping her arms around his neck and bringing their bodies closer together.
Nodding his head slightly, he wrapped his arms around his waist. "Is it working?" He asked with a smirk across his face.
"Hmm...maybe." Rosalie said with a small smile as she laced her fingers through his hair. "I love you."
"I love you too." He replied as he leaned towards her and kissed her gently. Looking into her eyes, he felt relief wash over him as he saw that her eyes had returned to the normal gold color that he loved so much. "I have something to give you." He told her as he broke the kiss. "Come with me."
Looking at him curiously, she nodded wordlessly before lacing her fingers through his and walking with him outside of the house and towards his Volvo.
"You realize that I'm not running away with you right?" She joked, while she watched as he unlocked his car and opened up the glove compartment and grabbed something. A box it looked like to her.
"You would if I asked you too and you know it." Edward stated, earning a shrug from her. "Besides, we're together now why do we need to run away?" He asked her as he slipped the box into her hands.
"Edward..." She trailed off, confused as to what this was. "Just open it." Rosalie heard him say. Nodding her head, she slowly opened the black box, revealing the engraved locket. "It's beautiful." Rosalie said, completely speechless-she even surprised herself when she had said those two words.
"Just like you, I was going to give it back to you in New York, even after you hated me. Now I'm glad I waited." Edward told her, as she turned around and he helped her put it on. "Now it's right where it belongs."
"We're both right where we belong...finally." Rosalie said as she felt Edward snake his arms around her waist from behind and bring her close. Closing her eyes, she leaned back against him and leaned the side of her head against his. "I love you."
"As I love you." Edward replied, before placing a soft kiss on the temple of her head as the two of them looked up at the stars above them.
End of flashback
Twirling the locket around absentmindedly, Rosalie looked over at Bella with a smile. "You look gorgeous, stop stressing." Rosalie told her honestly.
"I know, I'm still just trying to get used to all of this. The eyes and not sleeping and being as fast a well I want to be. I'm actually not a klutz, I kinda miss it." Bella confessed, while she looked at her flawless skin still amazed how it dazzled in the sun.
"We all miss some part of our former selves. Then we get used to what we've become and even though we still miss being human, we adjust and it all turns out better than what we could have ever imagined." Rosalie tells her. "Besides, now that you are imprinted to Jake- you don't have to worry about leaving him or having to choose between us. Silver lining one." Rosalie stated with a smile.
"Thanks Rosalie. I guess I'm just stressing a little bit, with imprinting and being changed and then Emily and Emmett going missing this past week..." She trailed off. "I just think it's easier to focus on the little things, then drive myself crazy with stressing over the big things."
"I understand you but I'm sure they'll show up, it is their wedding after all." Rosalie said with a smile, not catching the look of worry that crossed Bella's face.
Before either of the girls could continue their conversation they were interrupted by a ruckus coming from downstairs. "Hope everything's okay." Rosalie stated, while she and Bella made their way out of the bedroom and down the stairs. "Emmett!" Rosalie exclaimed as she rushed downstairs and jumped into his arms. "Oh I've missed you." She said sincerely.
Smiling, he immediately returned her hug. "I missed you too." Emmett stated as he let go of her.
"You're lucky I'm not the jealous type." A velvet voice entered the conversation, making everyone turn their attention to the living room where it was coming from.
"Oh shush." Rosalie said as Edward smiled and wrapped his arm around Rosalie's waist. "Where have you two been?" She inquired, asking the question that was everyone's mind. Almost everyone's mind.
"We just couldn't wait any longer." Emily said as she and Emmett wrapped their arms around one another, before holding up her left hand revealing the wedding band that was set in front of the engagement ring Emmett had bought her.
"You got married?" Rosalie and Jacob exclaimed at the same time. Causing everyone else to laugh. "No see you can't get married, because this is your wedding. Alice has been planning it since you stepped off the plane from New York. So no that does not work for me. You two are getting married again, so go upstairs and get ready." She demanded, yet no one moved.
"Rose, baby it's fine." Edward said, causing her to look back at him with a scowl. "Okay, before you murder me I only found out about two days ago. Alice wasn't planning Emily's wedding, she was planning yours." He confessed.
It was like a light bulb had turned on it her head. "No, but I mean she picked out everything I liked...I just thought we liked the same things." She muttered, finally realizing that Emily only agreed to something after Rosalie had told her she liked it.
"I hate you guys." Rosalie frowned as Edward smiled and gave her a soft kiss.
"They love you too sweetie." Edward stated as he took her hand and led her outside towards the
backyard.
There was a arch covered with white flowers near the garden. Seven rows of chairs set a few feet away. White rose petals covered the ground.
"I know it's not exactly over the top, but I once remembered a girl telling me that sometimes she like things to be simple." Edward said as he came up behind her and kiss her neck gently.
Smiling, she turned and looked at him. "It's perfect, but what about the sun. Are we going to cover up? Wait, who all did we invite? I just-you should've told me." Rosalie ranted slightly.
Laughing at her, he grabbed her hand and walked over to Alice. "This is Alice, you might know her. She's sort of psychic." He joked, earning a slap in the chest from Rosalie. "Babe, she's seen everything so she's thought of everything. Besides this isn't exactly the family's first outside wedding. This is your day. Nothing's going to go wrong." Edward told her. "I promise." He added after a pause, killing all of Rosalie's silent fears that were mulling around in her mind. "Go get ready." He urged her.
Nodding, a smile break out over her face. "I love you. I love you. I love you." Rosalie mumbled as she grabbed his face and kissed him one last time. "We're getting married!" She exclaimed as Alice, Bella, Emily, and Esme crowded around her before taking her upstairs to get ready.
Smiling, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself. "We're getting married." He said softly.
"It's about time." Jasper said, as he walked up to Edward's side. "If you hurt her, I won't hesitate this time to kill you." He said in all seriousness.
"Believe me, I know. Trust me, I know I've given you no reason to when it comes to Rosalie. Especially since I've done nothing right by her. I will do my best to keep her happy, until the end of forever." Edward said, looking Jasper square in the eye.
Nodding his head in an approving manner, Jasper patted Edward's shoulder. "Come on brother, we have a wedding to get ready for." He stated with a smile, before the two of them headed upstairs.
"I can't believe you didn't tell me." Rosalie sulked once again as Emily started doing her hair.
Laughing slightly, "Like you would've picked anything different. You realize the way to plan a perfect wedding for the bride, is to have the bride plan it without actually knowing it. That way she isn't stressed, everything's just the way she wants it and she looks beautiful on her wedding day." Emily said, while putting the last few touches on Rosalie's hair before letting her turn around and look at herself in the mirror.
"It's perfect." Rosalie said quietly, as she saw the small white flowers in her hair. Emily had pulled her hair back, but let the rest hang down. Twisting it around, she intertwined flowers within Rosalie's blonde locks. "He told you?" Rosalie asked.
"Flowers in your hair and dirt on your face." Emily told her with a smile. "You know that's when a man loves you, when you look an absolute disaster but with a glowing smile on his face he tells you that you look beautiful." She told Rosalie.
"Okay, I found the perfect dress. I know that you've had a few, but I'm sure this one is perfect." Alice said as she walked into the bedroom, with a black bag in hand.
"Well is Emily going to fit into my bridesmaid dress?" Rosalie questioned.
"No, the only dress we have left that isn't yours is the maid of honors dress." Alice told her with a soft smile.
Shaking her head, "Emily, go get Bella's dress and give her the maid of honors dress." Rosalie said.
Smiling, Alice hung the bag up on the door and slowly started unzipping it before revealing a Vera Wang dress. It was a strapless white lace dress with a purple ribbon tied around the waist.
"It's beautiful." Rosalie said breathlessly. "This doesn't feel rushed does it?" She asked, turning her attention to Bella who had just entered the room wearing her bridesmaids dress.
"Well, I better go check on Emily." Alice interrupted before slinking out of the room.
"Actually, since you asked that question and I'm really the only person to answer the question I think it's been long overdue." Bella said as she took a seat on the chair in front of the vanity. "Did you ever think we'd be here?" Bella asked.
"What? Edward and I getting married, you as a vampire and my maid of honor?" Rosalie tried to joke. "Sorry, too soon."
Shaking her head, "I'm engaged and in love. Sure I love Edward, but I'm not in love with him. Also, my feelings are no comparison to wait you feel for Edward or even close to what Edward feels for you. You know I think I always knew that it was supposed to be the two of you." Bella said.
"What makes you say that?" Rosalie asked confused as she took a seat across from Bella.
Shrugging, "Just the way you two acted around one another. The little things, after a while they start adding up-you know?" Bella asked rhetorically. "You'd fight about everything and he would look lost when the silent treatment you gave him lasted more than a few days. Just the little things, granted he tried to hide it from me and I tried my best to be blind to it but you know when a guys looking at you and sees someone else." Bella stated, somewhat glumly before looking down at her ring and smiling once again. "Then there's when a guy looks at you and you can't breathe and you feel like he's looking right into your heart. Like he knows every crack, every ache, every inch about it. That's when you know that everything before this guy was just a lie and it's where you were truly meant to be." Bella stated while looking back up at Rosalie.
"Thank you." Rosalie said simply.
"For what?" Bella asked, suddenly confused.
"For letting me love him, for letting him love me." Rosalie told her. "I never meant for you to get hurt or for anyone to get hurt for that matter. You just can't help who you fall in love with. I just am forever grateful that we're finally getting the chance to be with one another." She said as she placed her hand over her chest, "I just feel like I'm whole. I know that's cheesy or whatever, but I feel like he's the other half of my soul."
Smiling and shaking her head, "That's not cheesy Rosalie, that's love. Love makes you do crazy things, things you'd never see yourself do in a million years. It makes you feel like a child, still seeing all the enchantment and wonder that's in the world, that fades from our minds once we grow up but doesn't ever actually fade away completely from the world."
"That's a perfect description Bella." Rosalie said as she stood up from the chair and gently pulled Bella into a soft hug. "Thanks for being here and for being my maid of honor."
"Anytime Rosalie, I just hope you return the favor whenever we get married. Seems like life just keeps getting in the way." Bella told her with a soft laugh.
"Please, if you aren't married within the next two months then I will fly you down to Vegas and watch a horrible Elvis impersonator marry you myself in all it's hysterical tackiness." She said, causing Bella to smile widely.
Hearing a knock on the door, "It's time ladies." Jacob said as he peeked his head into the room. "Wow. You two look beautiful." He said sincerely, before Bella made her way over to him.
"Always the charmer." Rosalie said jokingly. "Thank you though." She added with a sincere smile, they weren't the best of friends and she knew he still wasn't fond of her for changing Bella but he was coming around. If he could be civil, then she would be too- besides it would be a long eternity if they didn't get along with one another.
Letting out a sigh of contentment after Bella and Jacob exited the bedroom, Rosalie opened the door to make her way towards the living room. Except she was stopped by three men that stood in front of her.
"What?" Rosalie asked, suddenly panicking. "He's gone isn't he? He changed his mind right. Okay, I can handle this. I'll just call him and yell at him and he'll be fine. Just nerves. Everything's fine." Rosalie rambled as she looked at the three standing before her, that just had smiles on their faces.
"That's a little bit creepy, isn't that what he said when we went to go talk to him?" Jasper questioned as he cupped Rosalie's cheek. "He's downstairs waiting for you darlin'. Nothing's going to go wrong, okay." He told her with a determination in her voice that all of her doubts were squashed.
"Then why are the three of you up here trying to give me a panic attack on my wedding day?" She asked, while slapping each of them once in the chest.
"Ouch Rose. No need to be abusive. I wanted to check on you. Jasper and Carlisle are arguing over who's walking you down the aisle. By the way you look beautiful." Emmett said before kissing her on the forehead. "See you down there." He told her, before he met Emily at the top of the stairs and the two of them disappeared down the steps.
"We weren't arguing per say, I was just saying that I should walk you down the aisle because I'm me and Carlisle wants to walk you down because Edward always gave you away at your other weddings." Jasper answered Rosalie's question, better than Emmett had.
Laughing slightly, "Oh you two." Rosalie began. "I can't make this decision, so you both are just going to have to walk me down the aisle." She told them as she walked over to the bed and grabbed her bouquet of flowers. "Let's go boys." She said as the three of them headed down the stairs.
"So this isn't weird right? Bella being the maid of honor and Emmett being the best man- well second best man. I mean, it's normal right?" Edward asked Esme as they stood outside the tent yet underneath the trees, hidden from the sun.
"Edward. Everything is perfect. Everyone is with the person they were meant to be with." She told him reassuringly, while she adjusted his tie slightly. "Sometimes I think that you and Rosalie are too much alike." Esme said with a smile. "You worry about how everything is going to affect everyone else, that you aren't really selfish. You don't grab your happiness when it's standing right in front of you. Of course I wanted to hit the both of you upside the head when you got it wrong. Alice and Carlisle told me to give you two time."
Laughing slightly embarrassed that his mother was right, they were too scared to hurt others that they put their happiness lastly to everyone else's feelings. "Maybe you should've, I could've married her sooner. I would've loved her openly for a longer period of time."
"Life is full of 'shoulda, coulda, wouldas' but you can't change the past or live it in. You have the present and it's more precious than anything in life, besides love. So you have now to love Rosalie as publicly as the two of you wish it to be." Esme said, while rubbing his cheek soothingly. "My two children are getting married. I am so happy for the both of you."
"Thanks mom." Edward said with a smile as he pulled her into a hug.
"Hey Edward, you better go show Rose that you're still here. I honestly think you two are linked. We come to see you and you automatically think she's gone. We go to see her, we get hit and then she thinks you're gone. You two have got to work on your abandonment issues." Emmett said, instantly regretting it as Esme slapped him upside the head and Edward glared at him.
"Thanks Emmett." Edward said through slightly gritted teeth as he stalked off towards the house.
"Sorry?" Emmett said as he turned his attention towards Esme. "I didn't mean it the way it came out." He told her sincerely. "They just act like the other ones going to evaporate in thin air, it's exhausting trying to reassure them." He stated before shrugging his shoulders and walking into the tent, with Esme right behind him, shaking her head in amusement.
Coming up behind her, he pulled her body against his and gently kissed her neck. "Hmm... I've missed you. You look breathtaking" he whispered into her ear, before she pulled away from him.
"Don't you know it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding." Rosalie said in a hushed giggle.
"Well since everything happens backwards for us, it'll be a good thing." Edward told her as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her body close to his. "Besides, Emmett told me you were panicking, something about how you thought I had run off?" He questioned sadly.
"I'm sorry, I just thought the worst. I mean everything's just going so perfectly, I didn't know what to think when three of my four protectors were standing outside my bedroom door with these serious looks on their faces. Besides Jasper said you jumped to the same conclusion when they went and saw you." Rosalie added, trying to divert some of the attention away from her.
"What can I say? We're both slightly panicking that the other will leave us." Edward said as he kissed her nose gently. "You can't get rid of me that easily Ms. Hale." He stated with a smile.
"I think being stuck with you will be a good thing Mr. Cullen." Rosalie replied as she laid her head on his shoulder. "This is gonna work right?" She asked timidly, she was more scared than anything that something could go wrong.
Pulling away from her, Edward gently cupped her face. "Everything is going to go perfect. I promise that nothing will go wrong." He said looking into her eyes. "We've come a long way and nothing is going to stop us now. Just have a little faith." Edward told her, as she nodded her head in agreement.
"I have faith in you and us, but it seems that life just keeps trying to tear us apart. It was so exhausting fighting to not be with you because I thought it was best. It's going to be more exhausting fighting to be with you. You know that right? I'll be stubborn and want to give up, so you have to fight against me and make me remember that this is worth fighting. Even if I don't show it behind my strong headed and stubborn facade, I'm scared of losing you more than anything in the world." She told him.
"I'm here to fight with you to keep this. I always had the ability to dazzle you so you better believe I'm going to fight like hell for you everyday." Edward said as he kissed her forehead. "Besides, I think I found the perfect song to express my feelings for you and somewhat our story." He told her as he began pulling away from her. "It's time." Edward stated as he disappeared from the living room, just as Jasper and Carlisle made their way in towards Rosalie.
"Are you ready for this?" Carlisle asked as he looked at his daughter with a smile.
"More than ever." Rosalie replied with a smile, as Carlisle leaned over and kissed her forehead.
"I am so proud of you. The both of you." Carlisle stated as he and Jasper took their spots next to Rosalie and made their way outside towards the tent where the wedding was being held.
We're too far out we're in too deep
And we've got miles to go before we can sleep
I said, we've been walking a thin line
You've got one hand on the devil baby and one hand in mine
But don't let go no it's not too late you know
Having Jasper on her right side and Carlisle on her left, the three of them made their way down the aisle towards Edward, Alice, Emmett, and Bella. The rest of the crowd stood up as the song began playing in the background. Rosalie couldn't help but smile as she began listening to the lyrics to the song as she slowly walked down the aisle. They seemed to fit their story in ways no other song could.
Hold on we're gonna make it if it takes all night
Hearts racing like a rocket at the speed of light
Don't fight it we've been running for far too long
We're going back where we belong
So hold on we got our wings and we're chasing the wind
Farewell to all the places that we have been
And if it takes us all night long
We're going back where we belong
As Jasper and Carlisle handed her over to Edward, Rosalie took his hand and stood in front of the minister and their friends and family. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to unite Rosalie Hale and Edward Cullen in the bounds of holy matrimony. From what I've been told by their parents and friends this has been a long time coming. After some speed bumps, tragedies and denial on both sides of what their hearts truly felt. Rosalie and Edward have finally given into the enchantment that is love." The minister began.
"I was told that Edward had saved Rosalie's life once." The minister started causing half the guests to get confused looks across their faces along with the groom. "Rosalie said that she was once left for dead and Edward was the one to save her." He said, reading from the notes the bride had given him.
Looking over at Rosalie, Edward saw her give him a wink of reassurance. "That she had given up hope, but once she heard Edward's voice that a ray of hope came along with it." The minister told them. "That's what she hopes to give him for the rest of their lives. Hope. That whenever something bad happens or another tragedy comes into their lives and tries to pull them apart that they have hope in one another that they will make it through- together." The minister stated before looking towards Rosalie. "The bride has written some of her own vows, Rosalie." He said, waiting for her to start.
So we'll build temples in our heads
When we've grown frail and all our bones are of lead
We've been walking a winding road
Let's go, no footsteps to follow baby and no signs to guide us home
Don't let go, no it's not too late you know
"I still think that this is a dream and that any moment I'm going to wake up." Rosalie began, laughing slightly and causing her family members to laugh along with her knowing the inside joke that they don't sleep. "Then I look over at you, whether you're talking to a friend or someone else. You'll look up at me and just smile, there's just something about that smile that just makes everything okay." She stated. "I just look into your eyes and they tell me that everything's going to be okay. That if anything bad does happen that you'll be right by my side to make things right. To see me through it all, to make sure that I'll be okay." She said as she squeezed his hand gently. "I love you, I'm in love with you. I have been for as long as I can remember. I'm tired of trying to not be in love with you. For one it's exhausting and for two, I'm sick of breaking my own heart. You are the only person that I will ever ask for, to make me happy, make me smile and to love me unconditionally." Rosalie said with a bright smile.
Hold on we're gonna make it if it takes all night
Hearts racing like a rocket at the speed of light
Don't fight it we've been running for far too long
We're going back to where we belong
So hold on we got our wings and we're chasing the wind
Farewell to all the places that we have been
And if it takes us all night long
We're going back where we belong
"I vow to you today that I will love and protect you from now until forever." Rosalie said. "I know things haven't been exactly perfect with us. Mostly because of how stubborn I am." She stated, causing Edward to laugh some. "It's our time now, time for us to be happy and in love. No one challenges me like you do and no one makes me as happy as I know you can. This feels right, and I can only hope that this feels right for you too. That we can learn from one another how to be patient and kind and love like there's no promise of tomorrow." She ended with a smile, as she saw Edward lean in towards her. Immediately closing her eyes, she felt his lips brush against hers tentatively before kissing her softly yet deeply all at the same time.
See I have to believe that there's more than this seems
More than a soul in a boat in a sea of sinking dreams
And I have to be sure that there's gonna be a cure
'cause somewhere down the line, I lost that part of me that's pure.
"Sorry, I couldn't resist." Edward spoke towards the crowd and minister as he broke the kiss with a smirk. Causing the guests along with the minister and his bride to laugh along with him. "To tell you the honest truth, I've been in love with you from the first moment I saw you. That scared me to my core, I had been walking around lost in this world and one meeting with you and I find meaning. After searching so long and then having it right in front of you is more than nerve racking, so I do what I do best- I ran away from it. Denied every feeling that I ever felt and lost precious time with you. I lost a part of me, so I'm done running. I'm done not having the part of me that truly matters. You, Rosalie Hale. You are the part that completes me. Challenge me, mock me, keep me grounded. You do it all, whether you realize it or not."
But don't you let go yet no it's not too late you know
Hold on we're gonna make it if takes all night
Hearts racing like a rocket at the speed of light
Don't fight it we've been running for far too long
We're going back to where we belong
Hold on we got our wings and we're chasing the wind
Farewell to all the places that we have been
And if it takes us all night long
We're going back where we belong
"The perfect fit to me." Edward stated sincerely. "I want to see your face everyday. I want to spend the rest of my days making you happy because I love seeing you smile. I want to act like an idiot to make you laugh, because you have such an infectious laugh." Stepping towards her, he cupped her cheek gently and smiled. "I am going to spend the rest of my days making you fall in love with me all over again, because then you'd start to feel a fraction of the love that I feel for you. I promise you that I won't let you get away ever again." He said as they both closed their eyes while Edward leaned his forehead against Rosalie's.
Hold on we're gonna make it if it takes all night
Hearts racing like a rocket at the speed of light
And if it takes us all night long
We're going back where we belong
We're going back where we belong
"It's a rare thing I see, such a monumental love. A love that makes us stop and pause if only for a second." The minister began. "To remind us that we should appreciate the ones we love, for they could disappear before we have a chance to tell them how we feel." Grabbing both Rosalie and Edward's hand, he bound them together with ribbon. "A symbol that Rosalie Hale and Edward Cullen are bound forever." He announced. "Rosalie. If you'll start."
Letting out a soft sigh of contentment, she looked up into Edward's eyes while holding his ring in between her fingers. Letting Edward read the inscription before she began placing it on his finger. It read 'Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.' . "I, Rosalie Lillian Hale, take you Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, to be my husband, my constant friend, my faithful partner in life, and my one true love. On this special day, I give to you in the presence of God and all these witnesses my promise to stay by your side as your wife in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, as well as through the good times and the bad. I promise to love you without reservation, comfort you in times of distress, encourage you to achieve all of your goals, laugh with you and cry with you, grow with you in mind and spirit, always be open and honest with you, and cherish you for as long as we both shall live." Rosalie promised, as she slipped the gold band onto Edward's left hand finger.
"Edward." The minister spoke, while turning his attention to the groom.
"Rosalie Lillian Hale, today I, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, take you for my wife. Now we will feel no rain, for each of us will be shelter for the other. Now there will be no loneliness, for each of us will be companion to the other. From this point forward, to join with you and to share all that is to come, to give and to receive, to speak and to listen, to inspire and to respond. There is only one life before us, and our seasons will be good and long. I promise to love, honor, and cherish you, no matter what lies before us, for as long as we both shall live. This will be a commitment made in love, kept in faith, and eternally made new." Edward said while placing the three- diamond Emerald cut ring with a band welded to it, with his own inscription 'The rose speaks of love silently, in a language known only to the heart' "My Rose." Edward whispered softly enough, only Rosalie and the family heard him.
"In front of these witnesses, I present to you for the first time. Mr. and Mrs. Edward and Rosalie Cullen." The minister announced, causing a loud cheering to come from their family and crowds. While Edward leaned in and kissed Rosalie. Wrapping her arms around his shoulders, she kissed him back deeper.
"Finally!" Emmett bellowed as he applauded with the rest of the family.
"Congratulations!" Alice, Bella, and Emily yelled in unison, before busting out in a fit of laughter.
Laughing as they broke the kiss, they looked into one another's eyes, they couldn't help but feel contentment wash over them. "I love you too." Edward said as he kissed Rosalie's nose.
"I didn't say anything." Rosalie said softly, while she looked into his eyes.
Tapping her head gently. "But I heard it baby." He told her.
Laughing at her, "Oh this is going to be a long life with the mind reading." Rosalie teased slightly. "But if it means I have you, I could care less."
"Oh, why did I wait so long to marry you?" He asked redundantly, as he wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up spinning her around slightly.
Letting out her infectious laugh, Rose threw her head back as she held onto Edward's shoulders. "Edward!" She squealed, before he finally put her down.
"I'd never let you get hurt." Edward said, an underlying meaning that they both caught on to.
Nodding her head, "I know...husband." Rosalie said with a smirk as she kissed him softly, before they began getting ushered down the aisle. Having white rose petal's thrown over them like confetti,as they headed towards the reception.
Knocking her knife gently to her champagne glass, she got everyone's attention while the music came to a stop. "If you asked me if I'd be standing here today as maid of honor at Rosalie's wedding, I would've said you needed to get your head checked." Bella began, causing the room to laugh and the bride to duck her head behind the groom's shoulder in faux embarrassment. "When I first met Rosalie, I knew she instantly disliked me. Maybe it was the way she looked at me like I was a walking disaster because let's face it I was or maybe it was the fact that everything I wore just gave Rosalie more of a reason to give me a makeover. - I hope you approve of my outfit today." Bella questioned, as she did a slight curtsy in her strapless purple dress. With her hair pulled back into a bun, a few loose curls hanging around the frame of her face and down her neck.
"You look gorgeous!" Rosalie hollered out, causing everyone to laugh including the maid of honor herself.
"Everyone knew that we weren't the best of friends, but that's just because we both misunderstood one another. Now I can honestly say that we are not the best of friends, but we're getting there." Bella said with a wink towards the blonde headed bride who nodded in agreement. "I once read, 'Two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one' I came across it again a few days ago and no other couple came to fit then Rosalie and Edward." Bella stated. "They are two different people, two different souls. Yet they are the same soul all at the same time. They always fought for what they needed, but never truly fought for what they wanted up until now. Which shows that their hearts are the same, they would rather be unhappy than see anyone that they love and care about suffer for more than a moment."
"I say that it's about time that they gave into what they finally wanted and truly needed, one another." She told them with a smile, while raising her glass. "I think they deserve it more than anyone else. To be in love and feel the love of someone truly special. To Edward and Rosalie." Bella said as everyone echoed the same thing before taking a drink of their champagne.
"Thank you." Rosalie mouthed to Bella as she placed her hand over her heart, showing that she was genuinely touched and appreciated what she had said.
"You're welcome." Bella mouthed back, before heading back to her seat next to Jacob.
"Well well, I think the only thing I should say is that it's about damn time y'all got your heads on straight. Alice and I were this close to kickin' your asses if you didn't end up together soon." Jasper said, southern drawl thick as ever. "I also know that if that's the only thing I say that I'll get my ass kicked by Alice, the bride, groom and the rest of my family." He added, earning some laughter from the crowd.
"Damn right!" Emmett added, once the laughter had died down some.
"Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essence." Jasper stated. "I believe that to be true. There are different types of love. Sibling love, family love. Love between a parent and their child. Then there's true love. Something that Rosalie and Edward have always had, despite what anyone else thinks or saw or what was said. I could just feel it, the love they had for one another. It was just so strong." Jasper began.
"I don't think I had ever seen anything like it. Nor did anyone else, not even themselves. Maybe that's why they kept denying the truth for so long. Scared to be together because of how it would effect everyone around them. Strong enough to be apart from one another, broken." He said. "They are two halves of one whole, I know everyone's heard that saying many times, but they truly do compliment one another in ways unimaginable." Looking over at his sister and brother, he couldn't help the smile that graced his lips. "I just hope that they are both stubborn enough to stick with one another like it was meant to be." Jasper stated as he raised his glass towards the two of them. "To the two most stubborn people in love I have ever met. May you always be stubborn and in love. To Rosalie and Edward Cullen, finally." Jasper said with a smirk as everyone echoed 'finally'.
"At this time, we'd like everyone to clear the dance floor so the bride and groom can have their official first dance." The DJ announced, causing everyone to walk off the dance floor and to their seats. "Mr. and Mrs. Cullen, if you please."
Standing from his chair, Edward extended his hand towards Rosalie. "Can I have this dance with my wife?" He said with a smile.
"Of course." Rosalie replied as she took his hand and stood up from her own chair. As she followed his towards the dance floor.
Wrapping his arm around her waist, pulling her closer. He held her left hand in his right, while she partially wrapped her right arm around his shoulders.
Some things we don't talk about
Rather do without
And just hold the smile
Falling in and out of love
Ashamed and proud of
Together all the while
"You just couldn't linger away from The Fray for very long could you?" Rosalie teased as they slowly swayed to the beat of the music.
Shrugging slightly, "What can I say? They have a special place in our relationship." He reminded her, as he kissed her cheek softly. "Besides, sometimes I think they write songs that fit our relationships." Edward stated with a smile as he twirled her around.
Laughing as she clung to him tighter. "I think you're right." She agreed as she ran her fingertips gently through the back of his hair on the back of his head. "Besides, I think you have to make up for a lot of time we've already missed." Rosalie said as she gave him an eskimo kiss.
"Have I told you how much I love you crazy girl?" He said as he held her closer, feeling her head shake. "The smartest thing I ever did was make you all mine."
You can never say never
While we don't know when
But time and time again
Younger now than we were before
"So how long did it take for them to finally be together?" Esme asked as she laced her fingers with Carlisle's.
Glancing over at the newly weds, he turned his attention back to his wife. "Longer than expected, but you know you can't rush love." He reminded her as he kissed her cheek lovingly.
"No, but you can give it a good shove in the right direction." Esme reminded him. "I just hate that it took them this long to finally realize that they were meant to be with one another."
Smiling at Esme, "Darling, they have more than enough time to make up for it. We'll just have to make sure they don't let one another go this time. Also, it was meant to happen this way. So I think we should all stop living in the past and just let them be happy. Let all of us finally be happy." Carlisle stated, earning a nod of agreement from his wife. Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
[x2]
"Is it going to be hard letting go of your past?"Emmett asked, as he turned his attention away from the happy married couple dancing on the floor.
Leaning against his broad shoulder, she sighed un-needingly. "I think I might miss working at the bar and helping people out with their problems. Like your brother for one over there, but like I told you I lost all of my family when I was younger. So being part of a family and knowing they won't ever leave you. It's like being granted the best gift in the whole world." Emily told him.
Kissing the top of her head, he lay his cheek on top of it. "You are so amazing you know that right?" Emmett questioned, before Emily laughed slightly in agreement. "Just consider yourself lucky that I married you Emmett." Emily teased. Picture, you're the queen of everything
As far as the eye can see
Under your command
I will be your guardian
When all is crumbling
To steady your hand
"I am so lucky that I get to marry you." Jacob said as he started messing with the ring that was on her left hand. "I'm always going to be here to protect you. I promise that I will never leave you."
"You keep saying that, when I'm the lucky one." Bella told him. "You just say all these things, that steal my heart all over again. I don't think you realize the effect you actually have on me Jacob Black." She said as she leaned over and kissed him gently.
"I love you Bella." Jacob stated as he kissed her back gently.
You can never say never
While we don't know when
Time, time, time again
Younger now than we were before
"So it looks like everyone is finally where they belong?" Jasper asked as he wrapped his arm lazily around Alice's waist, while she sat on his lap.
Leaning her head against his shoulder. "Yeah, just exhausted that it took this long to do it." Alice stated. "I kind of hate being able to see so far into the future when it comes to the family. Sometimes I just want to slap them upside the head and lay it out completely for them." Alice confessed as she looked over at him, seeing a smirk on his face.
"Yeah, but you wouldn't do that my pixie. Especially since you like being the only one that knows everything all the time." Jasper teased as he kissed her nose. "Besides, life would be a little boring if you told everyone everything all the time. I tend to like a little bit of drama and fighting. Keeps things interesting." He said as he looked into her eyes.
"I tend to like things like this." She said, turning her attention to all the couples who looked happy and content in one another's arms. "Especially the two of them." Alice said while pointing towards the brides and groom. Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
[x2]
"I just hope that you know that if you ever say 'never' to me again, I'll remind you of our wedding song." Rosalie teased as they continued dancing.
Laughing, he continued dancing with him. "I can barely say 'no' to you Rose. Why the hell would I say 'never'?" He questioned teasingly.
Shrugging, she stopped dancing as they song came close to the end. "Same reason we right. It's something we do. It's how we operate." Rosalie said while looking him directly in the eye, that seemed to send shivers down his back. We're pulling apart and coming together again and again Don't let me go
We're growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
[x4]
"Well I think that we've found a new way to operate. Today has proved that." He reminded her, motioning his hands around the scene before them. "Besides, we keep coming back to one another. That's a sign that you love me as much as I love you. And I will never let you forget that." Edward said before capturing her lips with his own in a kiss. Filled with passion, longing, but most of all love.
A/N- You can thank a small road trip for this chapter being posted, along with the fact that once I start writing I can't really stop. I was going to stop after the wedding, but I wanted them to have the wedding dance. Then I thought it was stupid that no one gave speeches, so I added those also. So three days later than I originally planned and about 18 pages later, here you are. I hope you liked it. This IS the final chapter, I might do an epilogue, probably-if you guys REALLY REALLY want one. I do hope you enjoy the finale of 'One Time Thing' I enjoyed writing it, especially since my writing skills have improved tremendously. Now to focus on my One Tree Hill stories and maybe if I'm feeling really giving, take my other Rosalie/Edward story off hiatus.
