CHAPTER NINE

THE PRENUPUALS


It was the day before the wedding, and if Jacob thought he was nervous about taking on the Alpha and Chief rolls, well… I would have to say that I doubled that by way of the bridal dinner at Sue Clearwater's. Not because of the dinner itself, but for the thought that I wouldn't be going home with him that night.

Sue offered to have the dinner at her house not only to be nice, but Charlie and she had started dating and I think she mainly did it for him, which I appreciated.

Embry and Quil rushed Jake out of the shop early telling him he needed to be with me seeing that I wouldn't be able to stay in the same house with him tonight and that he needed to spend some quality time with me.

I was to stay at Sue's tonight, and Leah couldn't be happier. She had already started picking out movies for us to watch. She also wanted to polish my finger and toe nails tonight so it would be one last thing I would have to do tomorrow, but I really think she was excited just to have a girl's night, which I was excited about as well, we never got to do much hanging out these days due the graduation and finals.

Jake ran in and grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door as he had done numerous times when he wanted to spend a few minutes with me alone. We walked to the beach, and he sat me down on the drift wood which became our favorite place. He looked over at me and wrapped his arms around me placing a soft quick kiss on my lips.

"This is where I kissed you the very first time," he said with a he smiled remembering our first time together down here on the beach. I had fought him so hard trying to convince him that I didn't feel the same way he did, but he knew better, better than I did evidently.

"I remember," I told him as I laid my head on his shoulder.

"We've known each other our entire lives, and now tomorrow at this time…you'll be my wife," he said with a chuckle.

"Yep," I said popping the 'P' as I giggled.

"Are you alright? You're still going to marry me right?" he asked a little worried.

"Of course I am Jake, what makes you think I wouldn't?" I asked him.

"You're so quiet," he said.

"Nerves, I guess," I told him as I sat up and looked into his eyes. "I love you Jacob Ephraim Black and nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing is going to stop me from walking down that aisle tomorrow and becoming your wife," I told him with a smile. He smiled back at me and kissed me more passionately than he ever has before.

"Come on baby," he said as he stood up and grabbed my hand and pulled me up. We started to walk down the beach slowly hand in hand.

"Jake," I said getting his attention.

"Yeah."

"You realize I won't be staying at the house tonight, don't you?"I asked him.

"Yeah, I know," he said.

"Doesn't that bother you?" I asked. He looked over at me and stopped and pulled me tightly against him.

"Is that's what's bothering you? That we won't be together tonight?" he asked. I lowered my head and shrugged my shoulders.

"Well, we haven't been apart since you got home from training after you first imprinted on me," I told him. He smiled and hugged me.

"I know baby, but it's just for one night, and we'll have forever to be together, plus you'll be able to hang out with Leah tonight. Why don't you call the rest of the girls maybe make it a slumber party, but one where you get some sleep, because I plan on keeping you awake all night tomorrow night," he said wiggling his eye brows and then laughed.

I knew my cheeks turn a bright red after he said that because he stroked my cheek with his fingers and laughed again.

"I'll see what Leah thinks of the idea, after all it is her house I don't want a bunch of girls taking over her house without her saying its alright," I told him. He laughed again.

"But I'm still going to miss you Jacob," I told him. He pulled his hand away from mine and wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

"I know baby, I'll miss you too," he said, as he kissed my forehead.

We walked on the beach for a while before we had to get back to the house to get ready for the rehearsal and wedding dinner. The rehearsal went well, with Embry acting a fool and had the entire wedding party rolling on the floor with laughter. Embry and Quil were to stand up with Jake and Angela was to be my bride's maid and Leah my maid of honor and of course dad will give me away.

Mom and Phil wouldn't be there, she was still mad at me for breaking up with Edward. Phil had tried to talk to her telling her that I was her daughter and she would regret not coming to my wedding, but she held firm.

Jake thought I would be upset with it, but it really didn't bother me that much, Renee was always a little flighty and she never really was there for me any time in my life so what makes this time in my life any different.

No, it didn't bother me that she wouldn't be there for my wedding. I had always been closer to my dad and as long as he was there that's all matters.

At the dinner Sue had out did her self, and I told her how appreciative I was, she only smiled and hugged me and told me it was nothing that she loved cooking for her loved one's which made me feel special so I hugged her back and told her that dad was a very lucky man as she smiled once again. We were about done eating dinner, when dad stood up to make a speech.

"Friends and family, thank you so much for coming to this very special dinner, tomorrow we will celebrate the beginning of a new life. My Bella will marry her Jacob, "Finally", he said as everyone laughed knowing it was true. I looked over at Jake who was laughing and pulled me too him.

"I say her Jacob, because when they were little kids, she used to follow him around... everywhere. And anyplace he would go you would find Bella, and when Jake would get in trouble, Bella would be there yelling at the adult who punished him telling them to leave her Jacob alone." Again everyone laughed and looked over at us as Jake kissed me on the side of my head.

"So as of tomorrow, my Bella, 'which you will always be by the way'," he said then continued, "Will marry her best friend. I would like you all to raise your glass with me and wish them the best that life has to offer," everyone picked up their glass and held it high above their heads.

"To Jacob and Bella may the rest of your lives be blessed," he said, as the rest of the room repeated.

"To Jacob and Bella," I looked over to Jake with tears pooling in my eyes. He laid his forehead on mine and looked into my eyes lovingly.

"Thank you daddy," I told him as he smiled at me. "Thank you everyone," Jake and I said together.

When the dinner was over everyone left, except, Sue, Leah, dad, Seth, Jacob and myself, I offered to help in the kitchen but Sue wouldn't hear of it, instead she volunteered Seth who gave her a dirty look, and caused all of us to laugh, and soon after I walked Jake out.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck, we laid our head on one another's forehead and just stayed that way for a few minutes.

"I got to go baby, if we don't get any sleep we won't be worth anything tomorrow. Are you going to be alright?" he asked. I nodded my head.

"Yeah, I guess, I'm going to miss you though," I told him.

"I know baby, I'll miss you too, but I'll see you tomorrow, I'll be the one down front standing next to the preacher eleven o'clock sharp," he said with a smile. He kissed me passionately and only let up when we were in dire need of air.

"I love you, Bells."

"I love you too, Jacob." He gave me another soft kiss and took off for the house. I stood there as I watched him disappear into the woods. Only then did I turn to go into the house already missing him. Leah met me at the door.

"Oh come on Bella, it's only for one night," she said. I smiled at her as she pulled me up stairs to her room. She put in a movie and went to get things ready to polish my nails, before the movie started.

"Are you kidding me?" I told her with a laugh.

"What? I thought it appropriate," she said with a chuckle. She had put in Runaway bride as we both fell backwards on the floor laughing. Although I was never a run away bride the old Bella had a tendency of running when things got tough or when I was scared and I think that was kind of the idea behind the movie. I heard some rutcuss down stairs and looked over at Leah who was smiling at me.

"What's going on," I said as the door flew open and Emily, Angela and Kim burst in. I jumped up and hugged them all and looked over at Leah.

"How did you know?" I asked.

"Jake told me, and when you didn't invite them I figured you didn't think it would be alright so I did it for you," she said as I jumped into her arms and hugged her.

"Thank you Leah, you don't know how much this means to me," I told her. She smiled and shook her head. We settled down and polished each others nails and watched the movie as the girls laughed sharing the same view as me with the choice of movies. After a while we all fell asleep on the pile of blankets Leah had thrown on the floor.

The next morning the door flew open as Sue yelled at us to get up. She told us we had a lot to do before the wedding that was only two hours away. We all jumped up as the girls went home to get ready and Leah and I went to separate bathrooms to shower. After eating breakfast and brushing our teeth, we settled into Leah's room as she worked on my makeup and hair, and by the time she had finished the girls were back.

Emily assured me that everything was set and joined Leah in helping me get dressed. My wedding gown was beautiful. It was white with silk ruffles that flowed down the skirt. The top of the dress was overlaid with lace and lined in pearls and fit snug around my neck and I wore white slippers. I felt like Cinderella on her way to the ball.

Leah had my hair pulled back and pinned, with cascaded curls that fell down in the back. She then pinned my veil on my head so it wouldn't fall off. After finishing she had me look into the mirror.

I really did look like a princess standing there. I thank them for helping me with everything and told them they should be wedding planners with all they had done.

After hearing a knock on the door Angela opened it only to find Charlie standing there. He walked in and when he saw me standing there he stopped and a smile formed on his lips that lit up his face and I swear I seen tears in his eyes.

"Sweetheart, you look amazing you're so beautiful," he said, as he came up and hugged me. The girls smiled as they watched my dad hug his not so little girl.

"You ready princess?" he asked as he led me down the stairs and to the car. The girls followed as we all piled into the car and we left for the church.
