Chapter 36
POV: Jake
I really did not like the look that was on Brady's face when I entered the house. I almost hit him when I saw that he was staring at my girlfriend in her underwear. A few years ago I would have snapped at that. How dare he look at Nessie like that. I get it she is gorgeous in every way but that is not for him to see. I worked through my emotions fast. Choosing to just hide her from his view rather than to cause a scene. Today was my sister's wedding and he was apart of the groomsmen. Not to mention I am currently co-Alpha of the pack. I needed to behave in a way that is appropriate to that title.
"What do you want Brady?" I asked. Attempting to make sure my voice was appropriate.
"Oh Rachel wanted me to tell Renesmee that we will be walking together during the entrance for the ceremony." Brady said.
"Message delivered." Jake said. Gesturing for him to leave. Brady walked out the door.
I Could hear Nessie taking a steadying breath. I waiting for her to finish before I turned to face her "You okay?" Jake asked.
"Yeah. I guess I just zoned out" she smiled at me. "I was trying to remember what shoes I was going to wear"
"You laid them in our closest yesterday" I smiled.
"Right." She nodded.
"Wow. If you are this nervous about Rachel's wedding I am a bit worry about how you will be when it is our wedding" I smiled. I was still concerned about her.
"I will not be nervous when we get married" She told him. "Because I know you will be there with me."
I kissed her. "We do have time before we need to get ready."
She laughed. "We are not alone in the house Jake."
My eyes went straight to her stomach. "No I am not pregnant!" she swatted at me.
"Then what?" I asked. Trying to identify who else is in the house with my girlfriend half naked.
"I put Seth to bed about an hour ago" Nessie told me.
"Oh." Jake said. "Then we will have time after the wedding for those activities" I winked.
She laughed. I loved her laugh it always make me feel secure and like I was exactly in the place I belonged.
I left Ness in the kitchen to finish her makeup. Opening our bedroom door I saw Seth sleeping. I used to think of him as an annoying little brother. Now I just think of him as a little brother minus the annoying part. His relationship with Ness still is strange to me. She still has him under Hubby in her phone. I shook my head.
Rummaging through the closet I grabbed my dress pants. Thanks to Alice they actually fit. She specifically tailored them for me. As well as a tailored white dress shirt and black vest. Picking up both my shoes and Nessies shoes before I walked past a sleeping Seth again.
I walked out into the main room only wearing my dress pants everything else in my hands. Ness looked at my bare chest her eyes looked adouring. I loved it when she looked at me like that.
I finished getting dressed. Finishing the last buttons of my shirt when Ness hopped off the chair her makeup completed. She turned to me. Her hair still pinned up in her curls. "What do you think?" She asked.
"I think you look beautiful" I said pulling her to me. I kissed her.
She giggled. "More beautiful than normal?" she asked.
I hugged her tighter. "I think you are beautiful all the time" I whispered.
"Tell me the truth. Do you like me more with makeup on?" She asked.
"Truthfully." I thought about it. Her face looked more polished. All of her freckles muted. She looked more human. The eyeliner made her eyes bigger. "No." I told her..
"No?" she asked. "Then when am I the most beautiful?"
"I think you are the most beautiful when we wake up together in the mornings." I whispered kissing her.
"You are a sweetheart." She kissed me again hard.
I finished putting my vest on and buttoning it up. Ness slipped the dress on. Backing her way up to me to help her zip it. She spun in her dress the yellow fabric flowing alongside her. She looked like a flower as she spun.
She stopped giggling. "I am going to go get Seth up. He will need to quickly shower before the wedding." she said. Running into the room I heard her starting to wake him up.
A knock sounded at the door. I opened it. Leah came walking in holding what I could only assume to be Seth's wedding clothing.
"Is Seth here?" Leah asked.
"Yeah I think Ness is just getting him up." I told her. Hearing the shower start. "Or he is just in the shower."
Ness came skipping out of the bedroom. "Hi Aunty." She said smiling.
"Hey kiddo. Is that what you are doing to you hair?" Leah asked.
"Oh no." Ness giggled. Unclipping all her curls. They hung down her back. Like flowing ribbons of bronze cascading down her back.
"That's better" Leah kissed her cheek. "You look beautiful"
"Thank you" Nessie told her.
Seth came walking out of the bathroom in his old pants.
"Hey Leah." Seth said looking sheepish.
"I brought you your wedding clothing" Leah said holding out the bag for him.
"Thanks" he said. Grabbing the bag and ran back into our room to change.
"Jake can you drop me off at your sisters house?" Ness asked. She was looking at the time.
"Of course I can." I told her holding her hand and walking for the door.
"Oh Leah. The lipstick you wanted is just in the bag there" Ness said pointing to the bag. I picked Ness up walking out the door with her cradled in my arms.
"My prince!" She kissed me as we walked to the volvo. It was cleaner than the Rabbit with us in fancy clothing might as well be driving the fancy car.
Driving up to my sisters house I saw the limo they rented. My sister was getting married at my father house. That is where the groom and his groomsmen are getting ready. Traditionally the bride gets ready on location. Rachel tried to pack all of her needed things up and realised it was easier to pack Paul's stuff up. So that is what she did. Sent him to dad's house so he would not see her on wedding day.
I parked. Nessie unbuckled and climbed over the center console climbing into my lap.
"Why hello there" I said to her.
"The next time I see you we will be walking down the aisle." she said kissing me.
"I like how that sounds." I whispered kissing her.
"Hey! Do not mess up her hair!" I heard my sisters voice. I groaned.
Ness giggled kissing me one more time before she opened the drivers door. I held her on my lap a moment longer. Kissing her deeply one more time. I let her go. She sighed straightening out her dress.
"Have I told you you looked super sexy today?" I asked.
"Of course I am. I could not stand next to my sexy boyfriend today if I did not look this good" She winked. "Now go. I will see you at the wedding."
I watched her run into the house. Embracing Claire before walking farther into the house and out of sight.
My dad was out on the porch when I drove up. He smiled seeing me in my dress outfit.
"Well my son looks so handsome today" Dad said.
"Thanks old man. You clean up pretty good yourself" I told him.
"Well your sister threatened me to look good or else" Dad laughed.
"Sounds like Rachel." I laughed.
I could hear all the boys in side getting ready. Dad gestured to me to go inside. Walking into the house I saw Paul fussing with his hair.
"Well don't you look beautiful Paul" I said with a laugh.
"Your sister will kill me if my hair is not perfect" He commented.
"Maybe we should send her a picture of just your hair" I told him. "I know my sister. She will want to know your hair is perfect"
"Fine." Paul looked at me. I took a picture of just his hair. Sending it to Ness with the comment 'Ask Rachel if this is perfect or not'.
The text came back within a few seconds 'Call me'.
I called her.
"Whats up?" I asked into the phone.
"I need to talk you through his hair" Nessies voice said.
"Okay talk me through it." I told her.
"Talk you through what?" Paul said.
"Your hair. I am getting talked through how to do it" I told him. I put the phone on speaker.
Paul looked concerned "what part is wrong?" he asked.
"Paul relax I will fix it" Nessies voice came through the phone. "Nothing is wrong it is just not perfect yet."
She talked me through how to fix his hair. After eight steps and 3 follow up photos we got the confirmation that we had successfully fixed his hair.
"Thanks Ren" Paul said.
"Your welcome" Nessie said.
I took her off speaker phone. "Thank you for being a lifesaver." I told her.
"I will save your life anytime" Nessie said. "See you at the wedding" She hung up the phone.
The boys are all standing around the table. Paul picked up a beer and all the groomsmen did the same. I picked up my beer.
Paul cracked his beer and toasted "To marrying the love of my life".
We cracked all our beers and drank.
Paul was getting nervous. The wedding was going to start in ten minutes. Luckily the pack had put out all the chairs and the wedding arch. All we had to to was remember the order to walk out of the house and escort our bridesmaids down the aisle. I was only slightly bummed that I would not be walking down the aisle with Ness.
The music started. Everyone got into their locations. The groomsmen stood in a line outside of the limo. Ready to help our partners down the aisle. Paul was standing next to the minister looking more excited than I have ever seen him. Everyone connected to the pack are all here. Paul's mom was already crying in the front row.
Rebecca reached her hand out of the car. "You ready for this Jake?" she asked.
"Oh yeah. So is Paul" I whispered into the car.
"Thanks Jake." Rachel whispered.
Rebecca and I started walking down the aisle. We hugged before departing. That was the separation that Rachel wanted to have happen. Next came Emily and Sam. Than Kim and Jarred.
I waited with baited breath for my girl to come out of the limo. She was walking down the aisle next with Brady. She looked vibrant and graceful as she strolled down the middle of the chairs. She hugged Brady. It looked like one of them was holding on tighter. When they broke apart she looked radiant walking to her spot.
I could not take my eyes off her. She was so beautiful in that moment. I wanted to marry her right now if she would have me. The only thing that took my eyes off her was that she made eye contact with me demanding me to look back at the aisle. I had not realised that Claire had already made it down the aisle separating from Collin.
My sister stepped out of the limo. Tears started streaming down my face. This woman walking toward the next step of her life, made me who I am. She was my mother. After her mother passed away. Rachel was the one who would help me fall asleep at night. She would hold my hand when I was scared. Rachel was the one who would sneak us snacks and play games with me. This woman walking towards me alongside my father was so important to me. I could only wish her all the best as she walked towards the next step of her life. Paul was a mess. He could not stop crying. Rachel reached him and wiped away his tears.
