Chapter 14: In Sickness And In Health
BPOV
It was my wedding day, and boy didnt i know it. Not only was i smacked in the face with the worst case of butterflies ever to have existed but was being watched intently by 4 vampires. Esme, Rosalie, Alice and .... is that ?... no .. Carmen!. "Morning sleepy" Alice chirped. "Uhh..morning" i yawned, stretching out my limbs. "It's time to get you looking beautiful for your big day, mi amor" Carmen smiled as i embraced her. "It's good to see you Carmen, i presume Eleazer and the others are downstairs?" she simply nodded. When the pixie bursting with happiness couldnt be contained anymore she lept up to my bed and started bouncing, breaking it in her joyous cries. "Its today! It's today!" she smiled. Rosalie rolled her eyes and hugged me softly. "Now my dear grab a shower and meet us out here, we have to make you look stunning today" Esme smiled. Yeah like i could compare to a vampire? looking at Rosalie, her stunning beauty. No one could. I sighed and dragged my bum out of bed, plodding lightly into the bathroom. Now where did i leave that lacey lingerie?

"Damn Edward, calm your nerves.. getting jittery here" Jasper moaned. I smiled apologetically as i paced up and down. "Look dude your not even dressed yet, and from what i hear little sis is in the shower, so chill okay?" Emmett grinned. "And why Emmett would you be listening for my soon to be wife? Do you need me to tell Rosalie what happened last night" I smirked. Emmett's grin was wiped off when a growl filled the house. Me and Jasper couldn't contain the laughter. "Now now boys be fair" Carlisle scolded. "Oh sorry daddy, but you werent so angelic towards Bella last night, isnt that right Jasper." "Yup" Jasper winked. Carlisle turned a paler shade of white than i have ever seen and mouthed "Thanks" then ran out to do some explaining to Esme. "Hey Edward, Charlie's approaching, throw your suit on and greet him" Emmett said pointing out the window. I huffed and sped downstairs to greet Charlie.

"Rose, why am i so nervous... not only about Charlie but the whole marriage thing." I said grimacing at my pale complexion. In all honesty i felt sick. "Well you better warm those toes up, Edward really cares about you. As for Charlie you'll be fine, we've made sure of that" Rosalie smiled. "What?" She said nothing but tapped her nose. Silly, mysterious vampires. After a few more pulls and tugs at my hair, Rosalie was finally satisfied. "Alice, make up !" she called. In danced my best friend armed and ready with more make up bags than wallmart. I grimaced and pleaded for help. "Just sit down, its not like you've had to stress yourself out with anything. Just enjoy today Bella. Today is the end of your old life and the beginning of your new one" she smiled skillfully applying make up. About 10 more minutes and make up was finished. I gulped, now for the dress. "Esme!, Carmen! Bring the dress!" Alice chirped. I stood up, shaking with anticipation.
Esme and Carmen entered with the beautiful handmade (and no doubt expensive!) dress. I was in awe of it. A simple, white satin dress. With cascades of white dropping from the bodice. The skirt gathered at my hip with intricate beading above it. "Wow, its beautiful Alice!" She smiled in appreciation, after all this was her handy work. "I knew you'd love it!" She smiled. She motioned me to come forward as the dress was lifted over me. It fit perfectly. Venom pooled in every eye in that room. "Bella dear, you look so beautiful." Esme cried hugging me tightly. Carmen nodded and Alice ran off to get something. She returned seconds later with a box which she handed to Esme. "Now my dear, the old earth has a tradition, you may have heard of it" She smiled. "Something Old" She said reaching into her box pulling out two beautiful handcrafted hair combs. "These were something i found in an antique shop on my travels around Vienna. I believe they are from the same year as Edward was created." I looked them over. Beautiful silver twists encasing pearls and ..... DIAMONDS ! "Thank you Esme, they are beautiful" I hugged her tightly as Rosalie placed the combs into my hair. "Something new" I turned to Carmen. She handed me a beautiful silver bracelet and kissed me softly on the cheek. "Thank you" i replied. "Something borrowed" I turned to Rosalie. She lifted up a garter and i swear if i could blush, i would be crimson. "I'll want this back when your done.... This one's been my lucky charm" she smiled. "Thank you" i said, embracing her in a hug. "And finally something blue." I turned to Alice who held out a blue ribbon necklace which donned the Cullen crest. "Alice ... I" i stuttered.
"Dont be thankful, thank you for bringing life to our family and to Edward. From today you are are Cullen for as long as we and you walk this earth." Carlisle suddenly spoke. He took the necklace from Alice's hands and fixed it around my neck. "Welcome to the family, daughter" he smiled hugging me lightly. Venom pooled from my eyes as i sobbed dryly into his chest. "Now my dear you must compose yourself, Charlie is coming... this will be difficult but i have faith in you" i nodded in response to Carlisle's words. Charlie entered the room and i ceased to breath. "Bells? Is that you?... Oh my god! You look beautiful... what happened to your eyes" He said edging away from my hug. "Well dad, please understand. Whatever im about to tell you is very dangerous, for me, my family and you" He nodded slowly bracing himself silently. "I.... well ... i'm a vampire..." I whispered loud enough for him to hear. "Oh .... Jacob was telling me about those.... heck he even phased infront of me. There he was stripping down, i was grabbing for my gun when he burst into a wolf. Took me a few days to get over it, but when i did... he told me about the tribe and the vampires." he half smiled pulling me into his chest. I hissed and was pulled back. "What? whats wrong?" Charlie asked. "She's very new to this vampire thing, she finds it a little difficult to cope with humans." Rosalie explained. "Ah right, will i be able to take her down the isle?" he asked nervously.
I nodded. I had regained control. Close proximity with a pulse is difficult, but i could handle this. I needed to. I linked my arm round Charlie's and made my way down the steps, towards my future, my Edward. As soon as i touched the floor i lifted my head up. Lights hung from the cieling as did flowers. Chairs were full of people from my past, present and soon to be future. I couldnt help but block out all of pounding hearts in that room. In needed to focus, i needed Edward. I searched the crowd to see him smiling so passionately at me. When we reached him, Charlie placed my hand on his barely able to stop the tears flowing. "Bella..." He smiled. And so the ceremony began. We each said "i do" and kissed for maybe a bit longer than necessary as people coughed and a rough nudge hit my spine. I spluttered out an apology and walked to greet my family and friends. Renée was first. Crying prefusely and mumbling incoherant words. I kissed her and moved on.
I recieved hugs and kisses from the Denali clan... all but Tanya who seemed rather annoyed that Edward chose me over her. I childishly poked my tongue out at her and kissed Edward. "Your a cruel one Isabella Marie Cullen" he smiled. I've never seen him happier and to be honest it was the happiest day of my old and new life. "It'll take some getting used to you know, being married to a god" i winked. He kissed me on the cheek and pulled me the rest of the way to the Quilete pack. Sam, Jared, Paul, Embry, Quil, Seth, Leah and Billy. "No Jake?" i asked solomnly. "He couldnt control himself Bella, i'm sorry" Sam replied. I hugged each pack member apart from Leah, she was always bitter. Seth and Edward went off to talk, their new found friendship was somewhat refreshing. Billy slipped a note into my hand and winked at me. Meet me at the treaty line. Jake. I looked around and nodded to Billy before rushing, veil and all to the treaty line. "Jake?" i called out. "Bella..." he whispered solomnly. "Sorry i took you away from your party, but i needed to see you without him." "It's ok, i just wish you could be there. I hate what this has done to us. We used to be such close friends." my head dropped to the floor, venom threatening to fall from my eyes. "I'll still see you around right?" he asked quietly. "I dont know" i replied. He pulled me into a hug and kissed the top of my head. "You should go." i nodded reluctantly and raced back to the house.
Edward looked at me and nodded, he knew where i was. He didnt question me the entire night. He had me forever, i was his as much as he was mine. We said goodbye to our families and set off on our mysterious honeymoon.
