Aloha! Exams are looming, and I am having a bit of a mental breakdown, and really should be revising. However, I felt guilty that I haven't updated this in a long long time, so this is it for a while, I think! Hopefully enjoy :)
Jane easily settled into the Cullen life, including all the various shrieks, laughter, and tears when combating Alice and her manic plans for marriage domination. Jane usually stayed out of the way, after proving her modernised view on marriage design, and creating an enemy out of her short-haired sister.
She got on well with all of her siblings, Rosalie included, who enjoyed bitching about how she would have organised the wedding. Emmett had finally found a match to his strength in the newer vampire, and Bella was Jane's new shopping companion, although they tried to steer clear of Seattle. Edward quickly felt at ease about Bella being around Jane, and he and Jane continued to develop their psychic abilities. Throughout the months she was at home with the Cullen's, she even managed to sing as beautifully as she did when being able to control people, without actually exacting any control over anyone. Jane was exceedingly happy with this, and it wasn't long before Bella approached her nervously.
"Hi, Jane, are you OK?"
"Not too bad, thanks, Bell, you?"
"Oh, yeah, not bad…" Bella shuffled her feet, inspecting her Mary Jane's for a while before opening her mouth.
"Well, I've been listening to you sing. You don't control people with it? I mean, you can choose now, right?"
"Well, it makes no difference to you, I'm guessing!"
"No, I guess not, but it doesn't affect anyone else, either. But, anyway, I wanted to ask you something…"
"Yeah?"
"I'm wondering, could you sing at my wedding?"
Jane was stunned, she couldn't speak for a long time, and Bella started hopping from one foot to the other.
"Listen, you don't have to, if you don't want to-"
"How could you even think I wouldn't? I would love to!"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure! I just wasn't sure whether you'd want me to, that's all!"
"Now why would you think that?"
"Well, I don't know. I just think, like, erm, I'm kinda not part of the family yet, I don't know." Jane was thankful she couldn't blush, but her expression could not have been hidden, and Bella laughed at her attempt to smother the embarrassment.
"Oh, Jane! Of course you're part of the family! You're already my sister, Isabel Jane Cullen!" Jane felt the invisible tears pricking at her eyes again, and instinctively wiped them away, hugging Bells fiercely. She felt the little taps of Bella's real tears on her bare, pale, dead shoulders, and for once she didn't care that she was a dead, dangerous thing so close to a living breathing thing. All she cared about was that this living, breathing thing regarded her as a sister, and this sister was getting married.
"You're sure you know the lyrics to that middle section, Jane?" Rosalie fretted, twisting little curls in Jane's hair, as Jane in turn smoother down the skirt of Rosalie's dress. "Fret not, Rosa, I've got them down!" Jane smiled as she took in Rosalie's beautiful appearance.
"I'll try not to upstage the Bride!" Rosalie smirked, before seating herself in front of the grand piano. Jane rolled her eyes before taking her place by her side, and opening her mouth to sing. She worked hard to keep her 'gift' under control, as the guests turned to gape at her.
She felt a little guilty as her hearing informed her of the Bride approaching the staircase, so she used a little influence to get the guests looking the right way. Their gasps of adoration compelled her to look at her sister, and the very sight of her took her breath away, and even with Rosalie's warning, she almost forgot her lyrics.
Bella smiled fleetingly at the two girls at the piano as she passed, and the ceremony began with her fiancé gazing at her adoringly.
