My Girl: Chapter 14

I'm trying to write whenever I have free time. This way I won't go a week without uploading something. Like I said, I'm still busy with school, so I haven't had much time to do anything other than more work. Ew, I know. You know, sometimes when I write these authors notes I feel like I'm talking to myself...

Seth had been giving me pep talks all day, and I swear to god I was going to hit him. I must have been giving off a nervous vibe or something, because all day people have been giving me reassuring pats on the back. If I'm anything I'm anxious, definitely not worried. I can't wait to make Nessie mine. I know she's always been my girl, but today we're going to make it official. She will legally be my girl. It's sick really, how amazing that sounds to me.

I had been waiting for what seemed like years (but was probably only seconds) when Edward finally came in and told us the ceremony was about to begin. As soon as he left I turned towards Seth, a huge ass smile on my face. "Congrats man," he clapped me on the back. "I'm really happy for you."

"Thanks," I took a deep breath."Ready to do this?"

He shook his head yes and peeked his head out the door, making sure Nessie wasn't there. She wanted to do it the traditional way, and refused to let me see her the day-of until she was actually walking down the aisle. We went down stairs and the rest passed in a blur, I walked to my spot and waited for Nessie. It had been a whole day since I had seen her. I'm going to go crazy if I don't get to see her soon.

Finally, the music started playing, and my girl came arm in arm with Edward. She was gorgeous, just like I knew she would be. Her appearance reminded me of a princess. Her fluffy white dress was illuminated by the candles on either side of her. The flames brought a faint glow to her face, just enough for me to see her expression of pure joy. She was walking slightly faster than the music. I guess I'm not the only anxious one. Edward tried to hold back a chuckle as he sped up slightly, ignoring the death glares sent from the pixie. Nessie loved her to death, but I knew she was staring to annoy her. Ness liked to do things her own way. She didn't follow other people's rules.

She reached the front, and Edward kissed her cheek, and then leaned over to shake my hand. His topaz eyes met mine and I knew he was officially handing her over to me. He was also giving me silent death threat, but we won't go into that. I had had to go through a "If you hurt Nessie," talk with her Dad, Grandfather and two uncles. If one more person threatened me with my life, someone was getting hit.

Renesmee looked at me and her eyes lit up. The minister started talking, but neither of us was listening. Nessie and I can have these sort of silent conversations together. We can tell what the other is thinking by looking at them. She just told me she loves me. The talking stopped and the minister turned towards me.

The words that I was worried about forgetting poured out of my mouth without hesitance, "I, Jacob Black, take you Renesmee Cullen, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, 'til death do us part: according to God's holy ordinance, and thereto I pledge you my love and faithfulness." I slid the wedding band on her, happy as ever. It was sterling silver with three diamonds in a row. Each diamond represented the different worlds she had been brought up in. The vampires, humans, and of course, wolves.

She beamed at me and spoke with ease, "I, Renesmee Cullen, take you Jacob Black, to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, 'til death do us part: according to God's holy ordinance, and thereto I pledge you my love and faithfulness." She gently prodded the simple gold band on my ring finger. Simple, and masculine. She knows me so well.

"I now pronounce you man and wife," the minister spoke up. "You may kiss the bride."I pulled her soft lips to mine before people could even start clapping. We pulled back breathless, and I led her back down, heading inside the house. The pixie followed. This could only mean trouble.

We plopped down on the couch. The plan was to wait a few minutes until everyone got settled, then we would make our appearance. There we would have our first dance.

Nessie snuggled into me, and I could have sat like this for the rest of my life. "What do you two think you're doing?" the pixie screeched.

Ness jumped up, stumbling slightly in the giant dress, but quickly regaining her balance. "Yesterday you told us when the ceremony was over to come in here," she yelled. I knew she wasn't going to go down without a fight. "We're just doing what YOU told us to. You know what, this is our wedding, so we don't have to listen to what you say anyway," she took a deep breath. "I swear to goodness if I have to listen to you bark out one more order to me, I'm going to lose my mind." Okay, Nessie may like to do things her way, but she never talked to anyone like this. Except me when we're fighting...

"I'm sorry, Nessie," the pixie said, eyes wide with astonishment. "I didn't know it bothered you when I told you what to do."

"Of course it bothers me. I may be a freak of nature, but I'm not that weird. I don't like to be bossed around. It's not just you either. The whole family expects me to jump at the sound of their voice. It's not like that, Aunt Alice. I'm my own person. I won't be here forever. And you can tell everyone standing at the door eavesdropping what I said. I don't care," she finally stopped, and returned to her spot on the couch next to me, patiently waiting for Alice to leave.

I was proud of my girl. There has been numerous times where she confided in me that she felt her family expected too much from her. I guess getting married wasn't the only change today. Nessie has officially cut the umbilical cord.
