NessiePOV
Engaged.
Wow.
I twisted the ring around my finger, nervous. The yellow diamond glinting in the light given off by the sun shining through the airplane window,. I choose to sit next to the plexiglass so I could watch the clouds as we moved across the ocean, heading back home. I wanted to process everything. I still didn't know what the hell was going on.
What would daddy think?
What would I tell mom?
Would I even have a wedding due to the fact that my stupid werewolf of a fiancé didn't ask my vampire family for permission and they were waiting to rip his head from his very muscular and well built shoulders?
Or did he? And everyone knew all along and I was the blind one in love for once?
Engaged.
Holy crow.
Jake was passed out next to me his head resting on my shoulder, a light snore erupting from him. A stupid grin was plastered to his face, his hot hand wrapped around my own. I couldn't sleep. My over processing brain wouldn't allow me.
"Can I get you anything before we land dear?" the steward asked me in a hushed whisper, trying to not disturb Jake.
"noNo, no thank you." I said turning towards the steward and gave her a small smile.
"Alright, we will be landing shortly." And with that she left me to my thoughts again.
The flight was over quickly, Jake and I walked hand and hand out into Seatac SeaTac airport, he was still smiling and I was still processing. I didn't even notice the ride down the subway or to the connecting baggage claim area. I only noticed that we had moved locations after my mother slammed into me with a bone crushing hug of joy and excitement.
"Mom…" I whined, " can't breathe." She released me, she stepped stepping back slightly and cradled cradling my face in her smooth icy hands.
"Oh my baby, I just wish it wasn't so soon." She wiped the traitor tears from my cheeks, " weW all just want you to be happy Renesmee, if this is what you want we will support you in anyway possible and you know that." I hugged my mom tightly to me, staining her blouse with my tears.
"I love you too mom." I said in quiet voice. Bella could've passed for an senior in college or even in graduate school, but never as a mother of a child with the appearance of a 20 year old.
"Just do me a favor," I nodded, " don't make me a grandma too soon." I smiled at my mom and hugged her again.
We released each other and I looked at my dad. Oh godGod. My daddy, having to give away is only girl to his sworn enemy, no matter how many favors and treaties were drawn up, Jake was still a wolf, and Edward still a Vampire. So his reaction to my homecoming caught me off guard; " I just hope you can keep him on a short leash Ness. You deserve the best, just like your mother." My dad said to me in his smooth velvet voice with a smile on his lovely face. I rushed into his arms and he spun me and pulled me closer.
They knew.
All of them.
The drive home was a speedy and quiet one, my parents held hands across the armrest, and Jake was snuggled up against me snoring again. And again I was staring out the window, this time watching the greenery of Washington pass us by.
Jake POV
I felt the car stop along the gravel road, . I assumed that we were home. I opened my eyes and released a long yawn, . Nessie was curled up on my lap fast asleep. I smiled and played with her hair for a moment before scooting out from under her to take her in the house. I shifted her into my arms and strode to the front steps of the Cullen house. The warm amber lights welcoming us home. The whole family was were at activities for the night. Em and Jasper at Halo, again, Rose was in the garage, Carlisle and Esme were redecorating the dining area, and Alice? Well she was sitting Indian style on the floor of the main room, multiple bridal magazines, color schemes, and business cards littered the ground, along with a few reference books for the traditions of the Quileute people. I walked past Alice and up the staircase to the guest room.
The room at the top of the stairs was always used by my brothers when they needed to crash after patrol. An extra long California king was against the wall with soft blue bedding, a small dresser for a couple personal items, tvTV, dvd DVD player, and multiple movies. I laid Nessie down on the fresh sheets and went to close the door for a little alone time, . I was worried because she was so quiet on the trip home, . did Did I do something wrong? Or was this just a shock of it all? As I nestled up beside her, wrapping her in my arms, I sighed and closed my eyes, thinking about how everything was going to change. My mind was still wondering when I felt Nessie shift in my arms, her head moving to rest on my chest, and her tiny hand went above my heart to the crook of my neck.
The image of her dreams blew me away; flowers, deep purples and reds making the air smell so sweet, a long hall with yet more flowers and our closest friends standing at attention, the archway had garlands of white and purple flowers dripping from it, and then there was Renesmee, so incredibly beautiful. The off white satin gown hugged her glorious curves and flowed behind her, her long wavy hair was pulled away from her face into curls, a diamond tiara with the vile vail held the curls away from her ivory face. Her brown eyes were accented with soft shadows and black lashes, she walked towards the group at the alter; Emmett, Jasper, Edward, Bella, Alice, and Rose were all there. Carlisle was presiding as the minister, Esme was giving her away. The wedding was outdoors in the glorious afternoon sun, each of the vampires skin was sparkling and dancing.
This is what my baby wanted, a wedding with family and friends, nothing too over the top. I could do that. I snuggled closer to Nessie inhaling her scent and nuzzling my nose in her soft hair.
"I love you." ," I whispered.
She smiled and snuggled closer. That was all I needed.
