Hey Everyone!! :) Like I said, I'm going to try to make this chapter one of the longest ones! I promise everything will be explained in the next few chapters if not this one! I Luv Ya'll Lots!!!

Lindsey's POV

I sat in the squished backseat in the middle of Esme, Bella and Rosalie. There was now about one and a half months until Kelsey's wedding, and we were headed to Seattle to get Kelsey's dress. Seth, Embry, Emmett, Jasper, Carlisle and Edward were all packed into the Jeep behind us. We were in Rose's red convertible.

We pulled up to the biggest dress store in Seattle. Kelsey, Alice and Rose were all squealing with excitement while Bella, Esme and I exchanged glances and chuckled. Kelsey seemed to be pretty happy since a month and a half ago. None of us still didn't know what caused her to be that way, but we all guessed it was over and done with.

The woman helping Kels out had her stand on a little step thing that elevated her off the ground. Kelsey was blushing non stop. She explained to the woman what she was looking for; a red and white ball gown dress. She'd wanted one ever since she was a freshman in high school. The woman hurried off to find the dress, and Kelsey smiled at us. Alice and Rose were standing (they were obviously going to be critiquing the dresses) while Bella, Esme and I sat on the three available chairs.

The woman came back with three dresses. They all looked pretty good to me, but I knew Kels, Alice and Rose all had their own opinions.

Kels walked into the changing room, then came out moments later in a stunning red and white dress. It had sleeves, but they were slightly see through. There was something like a red sash that went around her bodice then tied to the side, which was red. The rest of the dress was white. She smiled as she looked at her self in the mirror.

Alice and Rose smiled a little, and said she looked beautiful.

"But maybe you should try on all the others before you make your decision," Esme advised. "That way you won't second guess yourself."

Kels looked over at me and asked, "What do you think..?"

I blinked in surprise. "Oh uh...well I think it looks good..."

Kels agreed to try on the other dresses before she made her decision.

She came out in a silky red ball gown with a patterned bodice and a little stripe of white down the side. She looked instantly at Alice, who was making a face. "Maybe you should go for something with more white and red trimming..." she trailed off, Rosalie agreeing.

Kels seemed to be getting a little agrivated. God, dress shopping was supposed to be fun! It's seeming more like living hell for the brides!!

She came out again only this time with a black and white ball gown. It was beautiful; it was white and had little patterns of black flowers and intricate flows of designs on the bodice and skirt.

I thought it looked amazing, but then Kels still couldn't make up her mind. The woman stepped forward to offer some assistance. "Well, there is one more thing that I might advise...but do you have a small budget?" She looked questionably at Kels, who worriedly looked at Alice.

Before Kels could reply, Alice shook her head at the woman. "Oh no, we don't have a budget. We'll pay anything for it." She smiled sweetly. The woman nodded and scurried away.

Kels looked astounded at Alice, who shrugged her shoulders all cutsey like. "Alice..you can't--"

"Oh yes we can," Esme smiled. "You're part of this family now, Kelsey. We don't have a budget." Bella nodded in agreement.

Kels bit her lip, obviously feeling guilty.

The woman came back with the last dress, and we all prayed that it was going to be the one.

She flowed out of the room like a princess; her wavy brown hair flowing over her shoulders, her hands gripping the bottom of the dress. She stood on the platform, and everyone gasped.

The dress was white and had red satin ribbon trimming the bottom of the skirt and top of the bodice. There was small sequin designs on her stomach and on the front of the skirt. It was breathtaking.

"So....what do you think...?" Kelsey smiled excitedly. She must have known this was the one. Alice and Rose smiled at each other and Esme squeezed my hand, smiling at me.

Alice double checked with Kels and told the woman proudly, "We'll take it!"

Seth's POV

Embry stood on the platform examining the tux that Alice had told him to look at. We had all sworn never to speak of this trip again, because pretty much all of us guys hated shopping.

We all sat there waiting for Carlisle's tux while we (Me and Embry since Ed, Jas, and Emmett can't drink) pulled out some beers. I've tried to talk Embry into telling me what happened to Kels and him a few months ago, but he hadn't budged. I thought I might as well give it another shot especially when I had Jasper nearby who could lighten his mood.

Embry sipped on his beer, and I looked over at him. "So..Uh..Em..."

He looked up at me and raised his eyebrows. "Hm?"

"How's Kels doing?" I asked, taking a sip.

He didn't suspect a thing at first, as he started to say "Oh, she's doing goo--" He stopped at glared at me.

"What...?" I looked over at Jasper for the signal who nodded, grinning back.

"You know what..." He trailed off, looking down at the floor. He held his beer by the neck, and sighed.

"Did she want something or did you do something...?" I looked at him, Jasper's powers obviously taking effect. Edward and Emmett stayed standing along with Carlisle and Jasper in front of us.

Embry nodded. "Yeah. She wants something all right," he took a big swig of beer swallowing a large gulp.

"And you can't give it to her or something...?" I asked trying to follow. I knew he'd go to the ends of the earth to get her whatever she wanted or needed. So why couldn't he now?

"She want's a kid, Seth." He swigged his beer again, chugging it till it was empty.

Emmett, Jasper, Carlisle and Edward all exchanged worried glances as I sighed and laid my hand on his shoulder supportively. "She's been upset about it ever since the Alex incident. And now that she's a lee-- a vampire, her chances have gone to slim to impossible. And I can't do a thing about it!"

Carlisle and Emmett began whispering to each other. I had forgotten the story about Rosalie and how she wanted kids too. That must be why she's all about Kelsey. Because the two of them didn't have a choice.

Embry slammed his bottle down against the table next to us and stood up. It was made clear that it wasn't just effecting Kelsey, but Embry as well. Whatever she felt, he felt too. Their bond was strong, and I knew that it would only be stronger since they couldn't have what they wanted.

Embry pushed his chair back as he got up, leaving to go change out of his tux. He turned around and looked at all of us, "Hey Jas,"

Jasper raised his eyebrows at him as I stood up.

"You're an ass," he grumbled as he left.

We all exchanged glances and looked down at the floor. I thought it was going to be something like just a fight that we could joke about with. But obviously, I was wrong.

Kelsey's POV

Three months. Sounds like a long time, but in wedding time, it's seconds. We got through the dress delay, and Embry got his tux. Alice had helped me pick out the cake, and the reception decorations, and even took care of the invitations.

The wedding was tomorrow. I couldn't believe it. I wasn't screaming out of my seat, but I wasn't scared or sad either. Alice and I had gone to the barn where the reception was going to be held. It wasn't like a hick-ish kind of barn, but a rustic, authentic feel. And Alice and I both liked it. She had strung beautiful creme colored lights all through out the inside of it, and had made gorgeous table settings. She really was a visionary. But she probably had Ed looking through my thoughts 24/7.

Lindsey didn't really seem too excited. Yeah she said she was happy for me when I asked her about it, but when she walked away, I could see her face fall a little. I didn't know what to do, and I knew if I asked Ed to read her mind, I knew she would kill me for trying so hard to find out. She was like a rock that not even a chisel and hammer could break into. I was running out of options, and even ideas.

When Alice and I got home, Embry ran out the house, smiling widely like a kid who was offered free ice cream. He grabbed me and picked me up, spinning me around.

"Woah!! Hey now!!" I giggled, grabbing his shoulders. "What's going on?"

"C'mon! You'll see!!" He grabbed my hand and we sprinted up the porch. I opened the door, and about fell over. Embry wrapped his arm around my waist, and Mom screamed, her face bright.

Oh. My. God. Dad was talking to Lindsey, who was standing right next to Seth. Mom wrapped her arms around me, squeezing me, and luckily I don't need to breathe because she would have suffocated me if I could.

"Mom..! What are you doing here!? I thought you were coming in tomorrow!!" I smiled, hugging her back.

"Well Embry here got hold of us and said we should come early!" She smiled, Dad coming over to hug me. I let go of Embry's hand again, and hugged him. "Hey Daddy," I smiled. I hadn't seen them since I got out of college. They lived in Florida once Iz and I moved to Cali.

"How are you, Sweetie?" He whispered before he let me go. Embry's hand intertwined with mine supportively as Mom and Dad stood in front of us. Seth and Linds joined beside me and Embry.

We all went out to dinner that night, mom and dad telling us all about Florida, and then they asked Iz and Seth a question that I hadn't even thought about.

"So, Seth..Do you two plan on getting married too?" Mom laughed a little and Dad eyed Seth.

Oh my god!!! That has to be what's going on with Lindsey!! I gripped Embry's hand tightly under the table. Sadly for him since I was a vampire, if I squeezed hard enough I could hurt him a bit. I squeezed his hand tightly under the table and he winced.

"Ow! Hey!" he whispered under his breath.

I whispered back quickly, "Sorry." I wanted to listen to Seth and Lindsey's answer. Seth looked down at Lindsey, who looked petrified. He smiled, obviously trying to stay calm and confident.

"Oh..well..uh, it was defiantly something we were looking into for the future.." He grinned slightly.

Oh God..this was going to be a long night. As if I didn't have enough on my mind.

Embry's POV

I didn't have a problem with Kels's parents...but my god were they excited. Her mom was like a little dog on steroids. Alice told me and Kels that I wasn't allowed to see her until she walked down the aisle. Great. Just great. I decided I was going to sleep over at her old house with Seth and Iz. Kels had told Iz that her and Seth could have the house to themselves since she had moved in with the Cullen's.

I wasn't a huge fan of being around my 'enemies' all the time, but they had grown pretty fond of them. They actually weren't half bad, they just still smelled a little funky.

Seth had laid Izzie in bed. She crashed pretty early, but then again it was 11 already, and she had to be over at the Cullen's by eight to help Kels get ready. He and I were sitting out in the living room watching ESPN.

There was a knock at the door, and I got up to get it. "Hey! Jake! What are you doing here man?!" Yeah, I would see Jake at the Cullen's ever now and then since Ness is his imprint, but the two of them have a history of sneaking off.

"Well Sam wanted you two to come over to his place. Some kind of meeting or something," he smiled a little.

We nodded, Seth locking the doors and windows. He ran into Iz's room to kiss her forehead before we left. I didn't feel like driving, so I ran all the way to get my nerves out. Seth kept up with me easily, and we reached Sam's in minutes. We strode into Sam's place, and about cracked up laughing. Oh god I should have known.

Sam tossed Jake a beer and whispered "Good job." Sam, Paul, Jake and Jared were all smiling widely with beers in their hands. "Congrats, Embry!" They all laughed at my reaction.

I punched Jake's shoulder playfully, taking a beer from Sam. "Thanks you guys."

They hadn't planned on doing anything big, just a few beers and some games of cards. I was winning probably because I didn't have that much to drink. We were working on our fifth hand when we all smelled it. Someone was nearby and it wasn't human. We all got up in sync and ran out the door. Sam lead is in the phasing, me following close behind. We smelled it's trail and I heard it running away from us. Sam darted way ahead of us like a bullet, and we ran not too far behind him.

We soon lost it, stupid fast bloodsucker. We smelled it's trail, and I snarled. The trial was heading in the direction of the Cullen's house.
