Chapter 21

Alice's POV

She really did look beautiful, I thought as I ran from La Push, back to the house. I wished I could do more for her and Embry. I had recently come into some money playing the stock market, and instead of the normal buying a few toys and giving the rest to charity, I had bought land for Jake and Nessie. I still had quite a bundle to spend. Leah and Embry seemed deserving.

Embry's POV

It was almost 3:30pm. I had been secluded from my… fiancée for hours now. Seth had taken me aside and given me The Talk, to which I paid polite attention. I knew how much Seth loved his sister, and since Henry had died during the most important part of their lives, how much they really depended on each other. Seth had continued on about how Leah may look tough, but was easily hurt emotionally. I had to stop him there, didn't he realize I had been privy to the exactly same thoughts he had? And, I knew a Leah that Seth didn't. That no one else knows, except maybe Sam. But Sam knew the Leah from before all the bad stuff. It was right when Seth and I started to argue over who knew Leah better, that Alice Cullen stepped between us.

Seth and I both immediately tensed, and then relaxed when we realized who it was. I looked around the forest, where Seth and drug me, looking for Jasper. I didn't ever see them apart, but she was alone.

"Hi Alice." I said. "What are you doing over here in La Push?" The Cullen's didn't often come to La Push, they treaty was voided, and so they could without consequences, but it was not a common thing to see them here.

"Leah called me." She replied simply.

At that point my jaw dropped, I looked over at Seth and saw he had a similar reaction.

Alice giggled, "Yes, I was a bit surprised myself. But she is female, and no matter where a girl is getting married, she wants to look pretty."

"Oh…kay? But what are you doing here now?" Seth asked quickly.

"Well," she paused to think a moment. "I figured you guys could use some help. Now, Do you have any nicer clothes to wear?" she asked looking at me.

That was how we ended up back at my house, clothes thrown about. Alice seemed unhappy with the choices. I looked up at the clock on the wall. 3:45pm.

"Alice," I whined, "we have fifteen minutes."

She looked up at me, "what about Quil? You are about the same height, and I can alter clothes quickly."

Without my reply she took off down the hallway towards Quil's room. Less than a minute later she emerged with grey slacks and a dark blue button down shirt. She threw them at me and pushed me into my room. I emerged a few moments later, before I could mention the time again, Alice started pinning and sewing. It took her all of a minute and a half to fix the outfit.

Gracefully she stood up and then she pulled an envelope out of her pocket, handing it to me she said, "This is from my family. We really feel like we are indebted to you. Without your help we would have lost Bella and Reneseme."

I started to protest, but she held up one hand and cut me off.

"No, you take this and use it. It will hurt Carlisle and Esme if you don't." and then she was gone.

I held the envelope in my hand and looked at Seth.

"Let's go, we have just a few minutes."

He nodded and we walked out of the door and into the rare sunshine. Seth froze and I ran into his back, almost falling over him in the process.

"What are you…" and I trailed off as a I noticed the car parked in front of the house. It was Edward's Aston Martin. I walked over to it and noticed a note under the windshield wiper.

Use it. Return it when you can.

-Edward

Seth whistled, " I could get used to this treatment," I smacked his arm and we both scrambled into the car, I laid the envelope on the dashboard and we flew to the courthouse.

Leah's POV

I walked into the courthouse, next to my mother. Just as my hand touched the door handle, I heard the approach of a car on the gravel driveway. It was Edward Cullen's Aston Martin, and to my showck, Seth and Embry were seated in it. Embry hadn't seen my eyet, and I grabbed Mom and pushed her in front o me . Embry parked the amazing car and trotted quickly to the front door, Sethfollowed him closely. When they were within a few feet my mom grabbed Seth's arm and pulled him inside, leaving a frozen Embry staring up and down my body with a look that defies explination. His eyes were burning, like if he looked at me for too long, I'd melt into a puddle.

"W-what?" I demanded.

Quickly he closed the distance between us, "You are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen."

"You don't look half-bad yourself, " I grinned up at him.

"Let's go get married." He grabbed my hand and we walked in the door.

An hour later we walked back out that door, hand-in-hand, man and wife. I looked down at my hand, my mother's ring glittered on my finger, it was perfect. Probably the only piece of jewelry I'd ever wear. I felt Embry's stare on my face, and I glanced up at him.

"I love you, " I said simply. There wasn't much else I could say at the moment.

"I love you, Mrs. Call," he replied with a smile on his face. Slowly he put one arm around my waist and dipped me low, smothering my mouth with an intense kiss. He then picked my up bridal style and started kissing down my neck and across my shoulder blades, leaving a trail of warmth where his lips touched.

"get a room!" Seth called from behind us.

We both laughed and Embry jogged quickly to the car, carefully putting me in the passenger seat. Once seated I noticed an envelope on the dashboard, our names were printed beautifully across the front.

"What is this?" I asked quietly.

"A wedding gift from the Cullen's, along with the use of this car for today. I haven't opened it yet."

I turned the envelope over and pulled out a folded note, a check floated onto my lap. I ignored the check for the moment and read the note.

Leah and Embry,

Congratulations on your marriage. This gift is meant for you two to take time away and go on a honeymoon. The rest can be used for a large party for your family and friends to celebrate your marriage. We wish you many blessings in your married lives.

Carlisle and Esme

Edward and Bella

Alice and Jasper

Rosalie and Emmett

Embry was reading the note over my shoulder. "How much is the check?"

I looked down at the check in my lap. I picked it up slowly and flipped it over.

"It's written for $5000" I whispered.

"That is insane." He replied.

I nodded and tucked the note and check back into the envelope. I leaned over the center counsel and put the envelope in Embry's pocket as he backed the car out of the parking spot.

The ride was quiet as we sped back towards our house. The trees passed by like a blur, the sky was overcast again, a slight drizzle began to splatter on the windshield. I was thinking about the money, and I assumed Embry was as well. It didn't take long to arrive home, but before I could even think to open the door, Embry was there, lifting me out and carrying me inside the house. He started down the hallway, and I realized his plan.

"Embry Call! What are you thinking? It's 5 o'clock!" I chastised, slightly scandalized by the idea.

"And we are finally married, we can do whatever we want." He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and dropped his lips down to my neck. A quiet moan escaped my mouth. Well, there was really no use fighting it now…

A loud bang erupted from the living room, Embry spun in the hallway to see where the noise came from. Jake stood in the door, sopping wet from the rain that was falling outside.

"They took her."

So, I had some really cool fonts picked out for each signiture on the note... alas stupid thinger wont let you see them... I'm crying inside...
