The two beautiful people walked down to meet Alice and Jasper. Alice was almost oblivious to who they were, but she noticed the way they walked, she noticed the way they looked. She could tell that they were Vampires. Peter and Charlotte looked on edge, they were ready and almost crouched in an attack position, until Edward walked up to the two.

"Mother, Father." Edward greeted them, they bowed their heads.

"Edward." The woman said in a pleasant, motherly voice.

"What are you doing here?" Edward asked curiously.

"It isn't every day that a grand child gets married. Especially to our own kind." Esme said in a quiet voice, her eyes looking at Jasper in a loving, accepting way.

"Yes, well. You are most welcome." Edward said, Esme smiled and hugged her youngest son, then her eyes went to her oldest child, Emmett. She had then scarcely begun to notice he was also a Vampire.

"Edward, what happened?" Carlisle asked him quietly, his hand going to Esme's shoulder, holding her where she was.

"Emmett was stabbed by a mad man. Rosalie wanted me to bite him. Emmett got out of control, and bit Jasper, Alice's husband." Edward said looking

all around, then Edward remembered Peter and Charlotte. "The other two are Peter and Charlotte, they're old friend's of Jasper's who have been Vampires for a long time." Edward said smiling slightly.

"This place looks lovely, truly." Esme said looking around, if she could cry, she surely would have.

"I'm glad you like it." Rosalie said, her voice searching for the right tone, Esme looked at Rosalie, a smile appeared and she walked over in a normal human pace and hugged her.

"It's so wonderful to see you, my darling daughter!" Esme said hugging her daughter-in-law. Rosalie returned the hug eagerly...

Alice was sick of not getting what was going on, she walked up to her mother and she dragged Jasper with her, Jasper seemed nervous and put everyone in a nervous mood until Alice squeezed his hand and scolded him quietly.

"What is going on?" Alice demanded to know, they were beginning to look very odd. All the guests were dancing, and enjoying themselves and there was the family of the newly married in a circle, talking in hushed voices.

"These are your grandparents." Edward said smiling, "Esme, and Carlisle."

Alice's eyes began to water. She had never met Esme and Carlisle. All she knew is that they had held her when she was smaller, and they loved her fiercely. They sent birthday gifts for her and the rest of the family every year, they were never around though, and she was never very sure why. She remembered her parents fighting about it all the time, how Emmett would like to see his parents, and how Rosalie absolutely refused to let Alice around Vampires at such a young age. Such an impressionable age.

"Oh my." Alice said, her hand letting go of Jasper's and she covered her mouth, her blue eyes letting tears spill all over her white powdered face. Esme smiled and grabbed Alice up into her arms, hugging her tightly as she thought was good for a human.

"We always wanted to come and visit. However, your mother thought it best not to. That you were very bright and that it would be a bad idea to be exposed to Vampires at such a young, impressionable age. But we thought that since you're old enough to wed, you're old enough to see us for what we truly are!" Esme said, her arms let go of Alice, who was crying and sobbing almost uncontrollably.

"Hello, Mary Alice." Carlisle said, his eyes shinning, smiling at his granddaughter.

"Hello.." Alice said in a small voice, she looked genuinely pleased.

"Father.."Edward interrupted, Carlisle looked over and smiled at his youngest son.

"Yes, Edward?" Carlisle asked, Edward smiled.

"I'd like to you to meet my mate." Edward introduced Bella who was standing off to the side, like Jasper. Not interacting with the whole entire family reunion.

"Hello, Isabella." Carlisle took Bella's hand and kissed it lightly, his lips as cold as any other Vampire's.

"Hello, Mr. Cullen." Bella smiled at him, Carlisle nodded, and Esme stepped in.

"Hello, Bella. I'm Esme, Edward's mother... I'm not sure if you remember us." Esme said smiling, Bella shook her head no. She didn't remember much from her childhood. She remembered Alice,

Rosalie, Emmett, and Jake. Those were the only ones. Her childhood was plagued with what had happened to her when she was beginning to become a woman, and she couldn't stand thinking of the ways her father had died.

Angry at her.

"No, I'm sorry, I don't." Bella said, her emotions winning over and Jasper felt her remorse, her sorrow, and Jasper put his hand on Bella's shoulder. Esme looked at him, and Carlisle did the same. A rush of relief and acceptance ran through the thin air.

"Jasper is empathic. However, he can make people feel what he wants them to... He manipulates emotions." Alice explained, Carlisle looked intrigued.

"How extraordinary." Carlisle seemed to ponder the possibilities. Esme just smiled kindly and accepted that Jasper had a very extraordinary gift.

"I'll be able to see the future. That's what Edward believes." Alice said smiling, Esme and Carlisle looked at each other, unsure of what she met.

"When you mean.. that you'll be able to see the future you mean when you become..." Esme left it open, she didn't want to say it, it was her only grand child and it wouldn't have any children.

"Yes. Tonight, actually." Alice said quietly, "I'll be with Jasper." Alice said, her eyes sparkling at Jasper, and he smiled at her, very happy that she trusted him.

"Are you sure about this, Alice?" Carlisle asked, Alice's head snapped over to him, and smiled.

"The love of my life is a Vampire, grandfather. Of course I am sure."

"And Bella... And Rosalie..." Esme started, if Vampires could cry, Esme would surely have tears going down her face.

"Yes." Rosalie said, "we will become Vampires too."

"I see." Esme said, she looked down. "A large, big, happy family." Esme said, a smile finally appearing on her face. Her two sons graced her with a smile, and so did the rest of them.

"A family again, reunited." Carlisle said, then he found his attention to Peter and Charlotte, "And of course, you two are part of Jasper, and therefore a part of us." Carlisle said kindly.

"We thank you, for your graciousness." Peter said bowing his head, his hair falling in his face, only to be brushed away by Charlotte's long, slender hands.

"Thank you." Charlotte said, she looked down at her feet, they were pinched into a pair of ballet slippers that Bella had given her, to make her feel part of the Opera House.

The Vampire talk got knocked away while Jacob and Leah came by, they offered their good luck, and how they hope that their wedding and their marriage is going to last as long as they hope theirs does. The shared with Jasper and Alice how annoying they're going to get with one another, that Jasper will annoy Alice with one of his normal habits. Alice just laughed and then Jacob talked about good times with Jasper, and Leah and Alice got to know each other greatly.

By the end of the night the music had stopped and all of the people were half drunk, and happy. Edward and Emmett were trying to clear the room, telling everyone thank you for their beautiful gifts that they had given the married couple. A few people did linger around, Like Jacob, Leah, and Seth, Leah's brother. They spoke of how nice it was to meet Alice's grandparents, and Edward's parents. They talked about how everything was truly wonderful, that the roasted pig was just to die for, and Jasper smiled and nodded his head, saying he quiet enjoyed it as well, that earned a laugh from Alice, who saw him gagging about the smell half way across the room not four hours prior.

"That was a long night." Rosalie said, she plopped down on the small sofa that laid in the center of the Ball Room. Which was moved by a pair of drunkly men.

"I do believe, I could sleep." Peter joked, that made all of them laugh, except for Alice who was laying in Jasper's arms as Jasper cooed her a song from the South. He was playing with her hair, caressing her cheek with his finger tips.

"I think someone is ready for bed." Esme smiled looking at her small, fragile little granddaughter.

"I think you're right." Jasper said smiling, He held Alice bridle style and ran to where they assumed was their room.

Emmett sat down next to Rosalie, and Rosalie put her head on his shoulder, he began playing with her long, blonde hair. "Ready to sleep, Rosie?"

"No." Rosalie said in a childish voice.

"Why not?" Emmett laughed loudly.

"Because that means we actually did it, we actually gave away our baby girl." Rosalie said, her head snuggling into the brawny chest of Emmett. Emmett laughed, and then had a serious face, his put his chin down on Rosalie's head and sighed.

"Yes, I know." Emmett said, his voice sad.

"Well, they're happy." Esme said smiling, Rosalie smiled up at Esme, and so did Emmett.

"You're right, mother. They're happy. Come now, Rosalie. Time for bed." Emmett picked Rosalie up, and held her bridle style also and ran off to their room.

"Well, your father and I are going to go, Edward. Seeing as you have so many humans to put to bed." Esme said smiling at Bella who was half asleep on a couch on the far side of the ball room.

"Very well. Mother, Father. It was nice to see you again, come back tomorrow, We'll need help with Alice. She'll be bitten tomorrow." Edward said quietly, they nodded their heads and smiled.

"But of course. Charlotte, Peter. It was lovely to meet you." Esme said hugging the two, and Carlisle shaking each of their hands.

"Yes, we should be going, too. We'll be back tomorrow." Peter said smiling at Edward, Edward nodded and looked down at Bella, who was half asleep.

"Edward..." Bella whispered in a tired voice, he smiled.

"Yes, my love?"

"Take me to my palace?" Bella asked, Edward smiled and looked at the time, it was almost one in the morning.

"Of course." Edward said, he picked her up and carried her down into the catacombs of the Opera House, going to a dark, and warm place where he had almost forgotten. He hadn't been down here for so long, not since Bella knew who he was. He placed her in the large bed that was in the room, and he went to his piano, playing the piece of music that was on the piano.

It was her lullaby.
