34. The talk

SindersPOV

I was leaning against the cold window which felt good against my flushed skin. All I could see was a short black haired pixie whisking around me, she was way too excited over this wedding, and it wasn't even her wedding! It was mine.

Oh my god, it's my wedding!

The thought occurred to me, I was really doing this, there had been so much going on since we got back so many preparations. Alice had everyone working extra fast because I told her that I wanted to get married in a few weeks, I didn't want to wait. Jacob and Renesmee had come back as well; they didn't mind cutting the honeymoon short for us. I told them not to but they insisted.

"Alice." I called hoping she would stop instead of flitting past me.

"Yes?" she asked, standing directly in front of me.

I sighed exasperated, "Do we really need all of this?" I said walking over to the 8 napkins which supposedly were in different shades of creams however to me they looked the same with tiny differences.

"I mean is all this necessary, I just wanted it to be small. Embry isn't fussy, come to think of it neither am I! As long as he is there with the minister, I'm happy." I smiled.

Renesmee walked into the room, "Ahem, what about me?"

"Of course I want you there and Sherrelle." I quickly added her in before she overheard me, since she found out about the wedding she was spending time with the Cullen's to plan it. Collin had told her about being a wolf and weirdly enough she took it okay, well better than me anyway. Well to be honest, I don't think anyone in the Quileute history has pushed their imprint into a tree and punched them in the face.

"We have two weeks, I'm fast but I am not a miracle worker. I am trying to get things imported as fast as possible." Alice huffed.

"Imported? What's getting imported? I don't want anything imported!" I was worried now. The fact that she didn't answer me didn't help at all.

I could feel my temperature rising, everyone was flitting around me and I just needed some air. Too much was going on; I was getting asked things like what colour I preferred frothy latte or biscuit? I don't know the difference.

They're not even talking about food!

I went with biscuit because I don't like the taste of any coffees.

After more questions on which I didn't understand, contrary to what Alice may believe I did have a headache and went to sit on the porch steps in the cool crisp night air. My head lay limp in my folded arms which were folded on top of my knees, I could hear the crickets softly, and it was oddly soothing. I heard footsteps gently making their way over to me, smelling the air I realised it was Carlisle.

"I know Alice can be like a little tornado of enthusiasm when she wants to be but she means well." He said, stroking my hair tenderly.

"I know, I just think it's too much. I just come into your life and now you guys are planning my wedding. I feel like such a burden."

"Of course not, dear. We are pleased to have you join our family; everyone was heartbroken when you left to go back to England. For Esme and me, it was as if one of our children had left us, we are honoured to be part of your wedding."

I felt tears pool in my eyes; I pulled Carlisle into a hug pushing all my emotions into it. The Cullen's had done so much for me, I was so thankful.

"Thank you." I whispered. "Actually, I wanted to speak to you about that. I err- I was wondering if you wanted to walk me down the aisle? If not, I get it." I rushed the end, feeling a little stupid. "You were so close to my father and he spoke so fondly of you, and ever since I moved her you have been nothing but generous to me Carlisle and it would just mean the world to me."

Carlisle smiled down at me, "I would love to, and I know I could never replace your father but I really do love you as if you were one of my own."

I just smiled up at him, it felt perfectly normal asking Carlisle for this. He had helped me so much, I really couldn't pick anyone better than Carlisle, I was so grateful to him.

"Is that all you wanted to ask me?"

"Yes."

Ask him about the blood! I thought to myself, I had to get over my embarrassment and speak to him about. "Actually there is something I need to speak to you about b-but can we s-speak in y-y-your office?" I had no idea why I was stuttering, I guess I just thought Carlisle would reject me and laugh in my face.

"Sure we can, dear." He smiled at me, calming my erratic nerves.

We both made our way at human speed; once we were both seated he shut the door humouring me. I think. "Would you like me to ask everyone to leave? So we can discuss this more privately?"

"It's okay, can I call Embry? I think he should be here for this to."

"You may do as you please; I'm not in work today so take your time." I quickly rang Embry, not wanting to keep Carlisle. I know he said he had the whole day off but I didn't want to take too much of his time up when he could be doing something much more productive. Embry told me he was on his way and got to me in 6 minutes 24 seconds, his jeans were covered in oil stains and he had light stains on his shirtless muscular chest.

He looked good. Very good. "Why are you covered in oil?" I asked him.

"Oh, I was just helping Jake out at the garage and then you called. What's up Doc?" Embry smiled at Carlisle.

Embry came and sat next to me, taking my hand in both his large ones, "I'm good, and now what would you both like to discuss?"

I thought I should go first seen as I was the one who brought it up and wanted to ask him, "Well you see, once or twice... I have accidently bit Embry and well, his blood tastes amazing to me however for him-"

"The pain is excruciating?" Carlisle asked, finishing off my sentence.

"Yeah, how did you know?" Embry asked his eyes wide with wonder. He looked really cute, if anyone was asking me.

"You're not the first half vampire, shape shifter relationship I've come across." Carlisle chuckled, "Renesmee and Jacob went through the same thing. I have a theory but that's all it is, a theory. My thoughts are that as you are the imprinted so to speak, Sinder, everything about Embry is prominent to you and you are attracted more so to his blood.

"As for you Embry, I think the reason it hurts you more than it would usually is because as she is your imprint for her to be hurting you is not tolerable. So the pain is more psychological as she isn't supposed to be hurting you in any way so your body reacts to it." Carlisle said, looking pretty please with himself as he sat back in his chair, his fingers crossed in front of him.

"Wow that would explain a lot." Embry smiled down to me. "I wanted to ask you something but this is for the future."

"Ask away, Embry."

"In the future, will we be able to have children." Embry asked, I felt my eyes widen in shock. We hadn't talked about children, I mean, I always wanted them but I was never even sure I my body could be a hospitable environment to home a child for a few months.

Carlisle sat forward at this question, "What is your menstrual cycle like, Sinder?"

I could feel my cheeks burning at the question, "It comes every few months."

"So you are getting them at monthly intervals?"

I just nodded at Carlisle's question. "There is no reasons for you not to be able conceive a child, I'm sure it will take some time but if you are menstruating correctly, then everything should be fine."

"That's great." Embry smiled brightly, kissing me chastely on the lips. "Thank you, Doc."

"No problem, is there anything else?"

Embry looked over at me, "No, that is everything." I said.

After our talk with Carlisle, Embry and I both sat outside on the porch taking in the cool air. My head was resting on his shoulder as he softly stroked my hair. "Hey beautiful, I need to talk you. It's really important and you need to know something before we get married."

"O-kay." I said a little worried at Embry's grim expression.

"Can we go run a run?"

"Sure."

Embry stood up, holding his hands out for me to take. "Do you trust me?" he asked.

"Of course." I breathed as we set off for our run.

So what did you think? Good, bad, meh?
