Bella
Things were finally back to normal.
Everything seemed to just fall into place after Jasper left the morning after bringing Rose home.
Jasper and Emmett had arrested the business owners and Laurent that day.
The day after Victoria called and offered me my job back. I was going to decline the offer at first, but when she and Jasper explained the reason behind my firing I accepted. She also informed me that she had filed for divorce that morning. It was final the day he was sentenced to twenty years.
I stayed with Esme and Carlisle two more days until they made sure everyone was taken care of, but then they said it was okay for me to stay at the apartment once again.
Jasper was home every night. Sometimes it was late when he came in, but I didn't care. He was finally home.
Over the next few months the business owners went on trial. After a search of each of their offices produced all the papers the DA would need to put them away. Most turned on Jane in a heartbeat.
Jane's trial was the longest, it took about four months, but in the end she was found guilty of so many things I couldn't even name half of them. She was sentenced to life in prison.
Caius was also when he was found guilty of kidnapping Rose. It turns out he'd used his own van to do that with, and they somehow were able to prove that.
The two days Jasper came home from the courthouse when they were sentenced we didn't leave the bedroom for hours. He was so happy. I was too for that matter.
In July we moved into our house. It was so nice. Everyone came over and helped out. Alice not so much with her pregnant belly, but she was good at supervising.
That night we cooked out on the grill and had a little pool party. Most of the agents that had helped with the case showed up. After that night we became pretty close with Aro, Embry, Quil, Benjamin and Maggie. Going out for drinks or dancing, with the younger ones.
The next day Jasper finally got to ride his new motorcycle. The look on his face was priceless. I'll never forget it.
In August Emmett proposed to Rose. It was about damn time too.
In September Alice gave birth to their beautiful little girl. Hannah Grace was the spitting image of both her parents. Black hair that stuck out everywhere and a set of piercing green eyes. She was going to be a little heartbreaker.
Thanksgiving and Christmas passed with us just celebrating family.
There wasn't much Jasper and I could do to top our gifts from the year before, but we tried. He gave me my own motorcycle, promising he would teach me how to drive it. I of course rolled my eyes at the comment knowing that when all was said and done I was going to end up hurting one of us.
I gave him a new truck and he loved it, but hated that I had spent the money.
The rest of our gifts to the family were a trip to Hawaii.
That's where we are now. It's eleven o'clock on New Year's Eve. In an hour I'll become Mrs. Jasper Whitlock.
The whole year I tried to plan the wedding, but nothing ever seemed right. The venues weren't good enough. All the dresses I tried on didn't feel right.
Finally in October I said fuck it. I wanted to get married on the beach. I thought about Seattle at first, but decided I didn't want to have to wear a jacket over my dress, when I finally chose one.
When I ran the idea by Jasper he was more than happy to oblige my request.
Standing on the balcony over looking the beach I smiled. Alice and the hotel had outdone themselves. A few chairs were placed around in a semi-circle around an arch. Tiki torches lined where I would walk down the aisle. The arch itself was draped in tropical flowers and fairy lights.
I noticed people milling around and I smiled. I could see Aro and his wife, Heidi. They were talking to Benjamin and Maggie, who'd had to quit being partners when they started dating two months ago. She was now paired up with Embry and he was with Quil. They were both here too. Victoria was here with her new boyfriend, along with Angela and her husband Ben. They were talking to Tyler and Riley.
It still amazed me that they had come, but I was glad to see them none the less.
I was still standing there looking down on my friends when the door opened behind me. Esme, Alice, and Rose came in all wearing the exact same smile.
They were dressed already and I knew that it was time for me to do the same. I had opted to go barefoot and they would too. Each of their dresses were in the same style as mine was, but where mine was white theirs were a different tropical color to go with the flowers in the bouquets.
The guys would also be barefoot and wearing tan linen pants and white button down shirts.
"You ready?" Alice asked and I nodded.
She helped me get into my dress and then called for Carlisle to come in.
They were all smiling at me and for a minute I got nervous, but then Rose started to speak.
"It's time for your something blue," She said holding out a small square box.
Opening it I found pair of blue earrings. The color matching Jasper's eyes to a tee. Tears welled up in my eyes as I put them on.
"Your something borrowed," Alice said handing me a white lace handkerchief. "It was my mom's."
"Your something new," Esme said as Alice stepped back. Opening the little box she held I found a locket. Before I pulled it free she opened it. The tears fell then. Inside held a picture of Sam and Emily on one side and a small amount of ashes behind a clear plate. "So you can keep them with you always."
"Thank you," I whispered as she helped me put it on. When she'd returned to where the others where Carlisle stepped forward.
"Your something old." He said holding out another small box. Inside was a pair of hair clips. They were edged in sapphires," When I glanced up at him he continued, "They were my mother's. I had three sets. Each holding a different gem. They were given to me so I could then in turn give them to my own daughters. Rose has the rubies and Alice has the emerald ones. It's time for me to give you the sapphires."
Smiling through my tears I hugged him and then the others.
As I pulled away Alice said, "We need to fix your makeup it's time to go."
As she did that Rose put in the hair clips.
With ten minutes to go everyone started gathering their flowers, handing mine to me and made toward the door.
Just as Esme pulled it opened something hit me.
"Wait," I called out. "I can't do this."
