Here is Chapter 11

Woot Woot!


Chapter 11

We arrived in style, of course. I was certain, by now that it was impossible for vampires to be subtle. Long ago had I got over my embarrassment about being noticed; now I just accepted it as inevitable. But, still we did own subtler cars. Instead Edward, Rosalie and Alice had all insisted on taking the sports cars. Emmett and Rosalie had taken Renesmee in the M3, Edward and I were in the Ferrari, he was driving of course. Alice and Jasper had taken the Porsche and Edward had kindly allowed Carlisle and Esme to take the Vanquish.

I sighed, why anyone would invite us to their wedding I had no idea, I was so worried that we looked as though we were showing off, we were clearly so not fitting in.

We arrived at the small church in La Push. The treaty line had been re-arranged to allow us to attend the wedding, the border had pretty much dissolved when Renesmee was born anyway. I stood up, the warm air breeze felt so nice, a feeling that I'd missed. I didn't realise until I was here how much I had missed the reservation, and the wolves. I felt a hand in mine and looked down, it was Edwards. I turned to him and smiled, he smiled back at me. I pulled my shield in to show him my thoughts, although he could probably guess them. I was remembering our wedding. That had been one of the best days of my life, well it was in the top two. My best days were my wedding, the day I met Renesmee. My best nights were all Edward. The night of our honeymoon, the night I was first conscious of him staying with me, the night after my first day as an immortal.

Edward leaned his head down to mine, and ever so gently pressed his lips down to mine. So fast that I hoped no-one was watching, I wrapped myself around him, unable to contain myself, and kissed him back so passionately. I pulled out of my embrace when I heard Emmett, and could feel his eyes on me.

"Jeez guys, this isn't your wedding. You had that already." Emmett said, with his hand across Renesmee's eyes.

Rosalie laughed, "that's a point Emmett, we should get married again, soon."

Everyone groaned expect Rosalie, Alice, Renesmee and I. Alice would be eagerly waiting to plan the wedding and Renesmee and I had never been to one of Rosalie and Emmett's weddings.

"Babe," Emmett said cautiously, "Not just now, I mean we've got a lot of other people's well, wolves, weddings to go to,"

"I know, darling, just I want another wedding," She said stroking Emmett's arm.

"C'mon," Edward muttered to me, grabbing Renesmee, "They'll be talking about this for days until Emmett finally gives in. It's the way it always happens. And I thought, we should get inside the church on time, as a few people want to see you."

"Me?" I asked as Edward steered us inside the church. Inside were all the wolves, waiting for us to come in.

"Hey Bells," Seth Clearwater said hugging me, "Haven't seen you in ages."

"I saw you two days ago, Seth," I said hugging him.

"I know. I just wanted to say it before these guys did." Seth said pointing behind him with his thumb. Behind Seth stood: Paul, Embry, Quil, Jacob, Leah, Jared, Sam, Colin, Brady and a few other Quileute kids, who I didn't know.

"So Vampire girl," Paul said hugging me, he had changed a lot since he's imprinted, "How's it been."

"It's been great," I said hugging each of the warm bodies in turn, and being introduced to those I hadn't met.

I was then shimmied by Leah towards the bridal room, while Edward was left to find his seat with Renesmee. "Err, Leah, Where are we going?"

"Emily wanted to see you," She said, and I had just noticed that Leah was dressed in pink. It was so out of character for her. Leah and pink did not belong in the same sentence without hates in the middle.

"Leah, you look beautiful," I was awestruck. The dress she was wearing was sating, floor legth and decorated with beads around the neckline.

"Yeah, I'm only wearing it cos I'm Emily's maid of honour" She said adjusting the front of the dress, with one hand and knocking on a large oak door with the other.

"Come in." I heard the gentle voice of Emily call.

I walked in and saw Emily. She was so beautiful. The scars across her face were barely visable, and she looked like an angel standing there with her veil over her hair. Her dress was so amazing. She was wearing a strapless white gown that had a corset style top, with a bow at the waist at the back. The Skirt went out into a large A line, and was covered with netting.

"Emily..." I sruggled to find words that could explain her beauty on this day.

"Hello Bella," She smiled, "I know we haven't been that close, and that's a shame, but I wanted you to be at my wedding, and I know Sam did, and I was wondering whether you would do me a favour?"

"Sure," I said, "Anything,"

"I want you to look after Leah," She said quietly.

I looked at her confused, I didn't understand what she meant.

"She's my cousin, and I know Jacob told you about her, Sam and myself. I also know that after the weddings are over, you will leave and she will go with you, because of Jacob. I want you to look after her, even if she never finds anyone, I want you to support her in a way I can't. I love her, and I know how hard it is for her."

I hugged Emily, "You're a good person Emily, and I will do as you ask."

"Thankyou, now go take your seat, the wedding's about to start."

The wedding was a nice ceremony, and Sam and Emily waltzed through it with the grace of Angels, their gaze never leaving each other's faces. The reception however was quite different. Wolves they know how to party. I thought Alice's parties were over the top, I would never make that misjudgement again. I was sitting at the side of the dance hall, where the reception was held. I was watching Renesmee and Edward dance together, when I fet someone sit beside me. I lifted my gaze from my child and husband, to discover it was my mother. I swallowed nervously. She looked the same as ever, I could see Phill talking to Charlie at the bar.

"So," She said, "why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"

"Wha...Mom, Renesmee is Edward's niece, didn't Dad tell you?" I said slightly take aback.

"Bella, I may be a grandmother, but I do not have dementia. I can see that she's your daughter. She looks too much like you and Edward. I can even see Charlie in her, poor child." She said smiling now, "She must be seven. Bella, you haven't known Edward that long."

"Nearly," I muttered, "Mom, she had this condition, it's called Werner's syndrome and it makes you age really really fast; but mercifully Carlisle managed to slow it down my using stem cell from both me and Edward."

"Really?" She said sceptically, "Because I just thought she was a half vampire child."

I gasped. How did she know? When did she find out? Who had told her?

"Relax," She said placing her arm around me, "I do have a brain, Bella, and a bit of an over active imagination, I grant you, but then I started researching it and well it made sense and I know."

Edward had appeared at my shoulder, along with Jasper and Alice. Renesmee was with Jacob, oblivious and still dancing.

Jasper started to calm me, although it was clear to see he was panicked as well.

"Hello, Alice," my mother said smiling into Alice's worried face.

"Mom," I said whispering, there were a lot of humans at this wedding, "this is serious. You can't tell anyone. No human is supposed to know, this is dangerous."

"I have no doubt it's dangerous, darling, but I know and I won't tell anyone." She was now looking over at Renesmee.

"I can see, Bella," Alice said smiling at Jasper, "The Voltouri, they never find out. She's safe."

"How?" Edward asked sharing Alice's vision.

"Maybe," Jasper said, Edward nodded. I hated it when they did this.

"It's entirely possible," Edward nodded.

"What?" I asked confused.

"I'll tell you later, love, I promise, but for now..." He gestured to our daughter, who came skipping over to us.

"Mom, this is our daughter, Renesmee." I said looking at my daughter.

She held her hand out, the cutest expression I'd ever seen her wear, "Pleased to meet you,"

Renee ignored her hand and scooped her up into a hug, "Now aren't you the sweetest thing,"

"Thankyou," Renesmee said smiling still, "Momma can I show her?"

I sighed, there was no point pretending anymore, "Sure go ahead, but just her."

Renesmee touched her face and Renee's eyes glazed over.

"She's showing her everything." Edward smiled, "Bella, your mother is going to be fine. Alice saw her dying in bed, with us sitting with her. She was an old lady, really old. She's going to live a long healthy life."

"We're going to go tell Carlisle, and the dance." Alice said looking at Edward, and grabbing Jasper's hand.

"Are you sure?" I asked Edward.

"Positive, now," he bowed to me, "May I have this dance?"
