Hello everyone, well this is the last chapter... *sniff sniff* but i promise their are sequels! About the babies etc etc.
Thank you all for reading and reviewing. You all made my day.
Please excuse the errors or spelling mistakes - i'm going on a surfing expo thingy and won't have access to a computer, so i decided to upload now.
Leave me a review and let me know of ideas for the sequel...
SERIOUSLY THANK YOU ALL FOR READUNG 'FINDING EMBRY' Lexi loves ya's for it =]
"Goodnight Alice!" I said for the tenth time.
"If i see you disappear tonight Lexi, i will be down in La Push in 5minuets!" She growled, but still sounded like a chirping bird.
"Okay! No werewolves, i get it. Besides Kora's keeping guard." I snorted.
"Please get some sleep, you have no excuse to be tired tomorrow – TK and TJ are being looked after so please just sleep." She pleaded.
I fake yawned "Okay Alice, i guess I'll see you tomorrow. Have a good sleep!" I laughed "Ha ha, very funny Lexi. Enjoy you're last night of freedom." She said then the phone went dead.
I turned the cellphone off – Kora's orders – and lay back on the bed.
The room looked oddly large when it was just me in it. Empty, not menacing just unusual.
It had been 9months since Embry proposed to me. 9months since the Volturi came to massacre the Cullen's. But also 9months since Embry and I welcomed two beautiful, healthy babies to the world, Talia Jay Call and Taylor Kruse Call.
They were perfect when they were born, and still to this day they continue to grow and blossom.
Both of them have russet skin, a little lighter than their father, TJ has darker eyes like her father, TK has lighter brown eyes.
I could still remember the dramas that happened when we brought them home for the first time.
FLASHBACK
"You okay Lex?" Embry asked, carrying both babies and two bags.
"I'm fine... jeez, what would i do without you?" I lent up and kissed his lips.
"Well you wouldn't have had babies to start with..." A familiar deep voice said from the door behind me. I turned to see Jacob, Quil, Leah and Seth walk in.
"Hey guys." I grinned "Come to raid the fridge?" i raised an eyebrow.
It was a relief i wasn't one of those 'moody' post-pregnancy girls, besides having my period i felt fine. I felt blessed to have such a wonderful fiancé, beautiful healthy children and caring friends and family.
"I see you are feeling better." Leah chuckled, naturally picking up one of the bundled up babies off Embry.
"Yeah, i feel great." i sat down carefully on the couch – was still a little tender 'down there' – I gestured for the others to sit as well. Embry sat beside me and wrapped his arm around me just as Jacob took TK off him.
"So ... names?" Seth grinned and sat on my other side.
"Yeah Taylor Kruse for mister," i nodded to TK in Jake's massive hands. "TK for short." Embry kissed my forehead.
"And missy here?" Leah asked, her eyes glued to TJ.
"Talia Jay ... or TJ." I smiled as Leah's head snapped up to look at me.
I smile and nodded a little, it was true – Talia was sort of named after Leah. For the times she saved me and for being a true friend.
Jacob's eyes also glistened when i said Jay ... Quil snorted.
"Sorry Quil but ... Quil was too hard to work in." I laughed and everyone else joined in.
"Alright, food time! Come on guy's Kora cooked a feed before." Embry hauled himself off the couch and in the general direction of the kitchen.
I reached out for TK but Jacob shook his head "The boy needs to learn to eat like a man."
I laughed but Leah handed TJ over, "Bathroom." she said quickly, I'm sure i saw something glisten on her cheek.
"You not eating Seth?" i playfully elbowed him.
"Huh? Nah... i already ate at home." He laughed, "But i think you made Leah cry, its sweet that you did that for her." He reached over to pull the blankets back from TJ's face, "Do you want to h-" I looked up to offer him a hold, but his expression caught me off guard.
He was staring intensely at her... not blinking, his eyes slowly changed from shock to love – lots and lots of love, a huge amount of love. That much instant-love could only mean one thing -
Seth just imprinted on my daughter.
"Talia ..." He cooed to the sleeping baby. The sound of Embry's voice in the kitchen sent my head into a whirlpool. What the hell is Embry going to say? Will he be mad? Angry?
"Seth" i hissed, "Seth! Snap out of it!" His eyes reluctantly shifted from TJ to my face.
"D-Did you just imprint?" I whispered.
He winced, nodding and droppin his head, feeling guilty.
Crap, crap, crap!
The kitchen door opened and in walked a laughing Jacob Embry and Quil. TK looked tiny in Quil's arms.
Embry noticed the tense atmosphere surrounding Seth, TJ and me. He instantly froze in the middle of the room.
"Lexi?" He was at my side that same second.
"Whats wrong? Are you okay?" His eyes raked over me and TJ.
How the heck am i supposed to tell him that Seth has imprinted ... on his week old daughter.
Embry was already possessive of them.
"Lexi... please, what is it?" He stroked my cheek and lifted up my chin.
"I-I need to talk with you... in private, please." I glanced at Seth then down at TJ, he must have followed my gaze also because he was on his feet and growling in the same second.
All simultaneously the front door opened – Kora, Karla and Maxie walked in, and Leah walked out of the bathroom. Embry looked like he was in danger of phasing in the middle of the busy lounge.
"Hey guys what's going on?" Kora obviously didn't pick up on the tension. I noticed Maxie pick Karla up and take her into the kitchen his eyes taking in Embry's shaking body. Quil handed Leah TK and instructed her to also go to the kitchen.
"Lexi? Embry? What's going on?" Kora's tone had changed, she looked Embry up and down; noticing how his body was shaking uncontrollably.
"You ... didn't." He snarled at Seth.
"Em... you know it's not something i can control." Seth pleaded.
I stood up, clutching TJ closer to my chest, Seth stepped slightly in front of us, acting as a shield from Embry. That seemed to anger him more though, Embry grabbed Seth and threw him across the room, causing him to crash into the opposite wall.
"Embry!" Kora screamed, running to Seth's aid.
"You will not go near her! You will stay away from her!" Embry roared, his whole body blurring.
Jacob and Quil decided to intervene and they both took a hold of Embry. I just stood and stared, unable to find my body or voice.
Leah came out of the kitchen, going to Seth immediately; Maxie must be looking after TK and Karla.
"Kora! Get away from him!" Jacob yelled as Seth started trembling.
"You do not get to tell me what to do in my own house Jacob! Embry! What the hell is wrong with you!" I had a feeling this would be the time Kora finds out about the secret world of mythical creatures. I had planned on doing it in a less dramatic way.
"You stay the hell away from my daughter Seth!" Embry growled loud enough for Kora to hear.
"What the hell is going on?" She looked around franticly.
"I can't stay away from her Embry, you know what its like! Can you stay away from Lexi?" Seth retorted. Leah had obviously picked up on the meaning of the fight, but she stayed next to her brother.
"She's a week old!" Embry tried to lunge at him again but Jake and Quil held him back.
"Kora! Move!" Leah hissed as Kora moved to the middle of the confrontation.
"No! I refuse to let you both come into my house and tear it apart. Now we can work this out by talking; there is no need for violence." She crossed her arms and glared at both Embry and Seth.
"Kora... take TJ to the kitchen please." It was the first time i spoke, suddenly all eyes were fixed on either me or the sleeping baby.
Kora thought about it for a minuet, "Promise to explain what's going on?" I nodded and she took TJ and left through the kitchen door.
Embry and Seth were still shaking, just not as much as before. I didn't know what to say, i had to admit, I was angry that Seth imprinted – but I couldn't punish him for that. It's not something they can control. But also i knew Seth, i knew how kind and caring he was – I know she will be the most protected girl in the world.
Embry somehow got free from Jacob and Quil's arms and was crossing the room in a flash, hitting Seth square in the jaw with a loud crunch. Leah lunged at Embry, not hitting him, just pushing him backwards in time for Jacob and Quil to grab a hold of him. But Embry wouldn't stop fighting to free himself.
"Stop!" I yelled but it was lost amongst all the growling and snarls.
"For goodness sakes! Stop it, both of you!" But my voice was quiet compared to the noises they were all making.
"Embry... relax!" Jacob ordered, even i could hear the authority in his voice. Embry stopped resisting Jake and Quil, but his body was a blur, he was going to phase.
"Quil! Get Lexi out of the way!" I faintly heard Jacob yell.
I was in Quil's arms and on the other side of the room just as there was a loud rip and Embry exploded into grey fur.
Jacob was no match for Embry in wolf-form so Leah went and helped Jake push Embry backwards, away from Seth.
"Lexi?" Kora's voice carried over the snarls. I looked over in time to see Kora open the door and gasp as she took in the giant grey wolf in her lounge.
Leah and Jacob weren't doing so good, with holding Embry back.
Everything was a mess, the harmony and peacefulness i felt a few minuets ago had totally disappeared. My happy mood was now replaced with anger.
"Stop it! All of you bloody stop it!" I screamed, loosing my cool.
"Seth, get outside for a minuet! Quil and Leah go with him!" I yelled as the room went silent.
"Embry! I am ordering you to phase back! Right this minuet!" I walked up to the still growling wolf. Kora gasped louder when i neared him.
"Lexi... get the hell away from that thing!" She screamed.
"It's not a thing! It's my bloody moody fiancée." I didn't mean to be so blunt but the anger was in control of me.
"What?" She looked back and forward between me and the wolf.
Embry let another growl slip through his teeth, his eyes fixed on Seth.
"Seth! Now!" I growled and watched as Quil and Leah followed him out the front door.
I turned back to Embry, "I know you're angry Em, but you have no right to hurt Seth. You know just how powerful and unexpected imprinting can be. Now phase back so i can talk to you properly." I said in a even tone. He huffed a bit, Jacob pulled me back a few steps and i watched as the giant wolf contracted back into the man i love.
"E-E-Embr-ry?" Kora whispered, her eyes wide and her face a mask of horror.
"Kor'z... it's okay, i can explain." I quickly ran over taking her hand. The color drained out of her face. "Jacob... come here please." Jake came over quickly.
"Can you take Kora to the kitchen and help her sit down please... she's a little shocked." I asked nicely. I wasn't liking the color Kora was turning.
"Sure sure." He took her carefully into the next room.
I didn't realize i had been crying until i felt a familiar hand brush away the salty tears.
"Lexi... I'm sorry." He said pulling me to his hot rock-hard chest.
"Please don't cry hon. I'm sorry." He continued to brush away the tears.
"I'm okay... really. Just hormones." I blubbered into his chest.
I knew it wasn't the hormones, I think it was the weeks dramas catching up on me.
After a few more minuets and Embry's soothing words i calmed down enough to speak.
"Em, i know you're not happy with the imprinting, neither am I, but their's no point in fighting it..." I noticed he was about to interrupt so i cut in,
"...because not only will it hurt Seth but it will hurt Talia – in the future." I said gently.
"She'll never have to know Lexi," He murmured, keeping his eyes fixed on the ground.
"Imprinting isn't just a one way street Em, it's not only the wolves that feel the pull, the girls do too. Talia will grow up and feel that emptiness, no matter what we do. And what are you planning on doing Embry? Running away? No, if Jake and Quil can work through it then we definitely can." I said fiercely, sometimes i think the boys don't understand that imprinting isn't just them. The partners feel that pull too, it's a pull in you're chest – guiding you forward.
He huffed for a few minuets, his eyebrows in a perfect V.
Finally he nodded his head once, then stood up.
"And you're going to talk to Seth?" I asked as he crossed the room, stepping over the mess. He nodded once, "Let me guess... in wolf form?" He raised his eyes to meet mine and slightly smiled.
"You know me too well." I could still hear the hurt in his voice, but i was glad he had recovered a tiny portion of his humor back.
"Let's call it females intuition, besides it's in my job description as a fiancée." I shrugged trying to be casual. He snorted and opened the door, hesitating and taking a deep calming breath.
"Don't hurt him Em!" I called out as he shut the door gently.
FLASHBACK ENDED.
I was lying on the bed with my head buried in a pillow to muffle the laughter.
At the time i definitely wouldn't have been laughing, but after 9 months i could see the humor. Everything worked out of course, after Embry 'talked' to Seth in wolf form.
The boy's or even Leah wouldn't tell me what Embry did to Seth but I'm sure it was more than a little chat.
"You can't seriously expect anyone to think that's you snoring, can you?" A familiar voice chuckled from the window.
I spun around, nearly falling backwards off the bed, to see Leah casually leaning against my window her cheeky grin spread across her face.
"I was actually laughing." I smiled.
"Could have fooled me. What had you laughing so hysterically that you sounded so ... weird?" She snorted.
" When Seth imprinted on TJ." Her grin grew surprisingly bigger, "Yeah that is a pretty funny day." She said more to herself.
"What are you doing here anyway? Kora will kill you if she knew you were keeping me up." I fake scolded.
"Ha! Well i was just coming over to wish you a good nights sleep, and enjoy you're last night of freedom with you're sister keeping guard..." Leah stiffened, her eyes darting to the door just as it was swung open. Kora stood there with a phone in her hand, glaring at Leah.
"No it's not him... it's only Leah. Yeah, I'll get rid of her." Kora said shutting off the phone.
"Better run Leah." i chuckled.
"Leah, may i ask what you are doing here?" Kora asked through her teeth.
"Checking to make sure Embry wasn't here... Jake's orders, you know, can't deny the Alpha's wants." I could tell she was lying but i knew Kora wouldn't.
"Okay well he isn't here, so you can go! Now!" Kora shooed Leah out of the room.
"Hey Kor'z?" I called out before she could shut the door.
"Yeah?"
"Who was it on the phone?" I was curious.
"Alice, you're future disappeared." She smirked flicking the lights off and shutting the door, leaving me in complete darkness.
It was handy that Kora knew the truth, she took it quite well. Fainting only once, but Emily explained it to her properly.
Maxie was part of the family now, he moved into my room once Embry and I moved out. Karla was attached to him like Claire was to Quil.
For awhile Kora was protective of Karla, not allowing Maxie to be alone with her but after time she saw he genuinely loved her.
Kora admitted to me that she wished she was imprinted on, wishing she had someone who loved her that much. I saw the pain in her eyes whenever she saw any of the wolves with their imprint.
My mind droned on, changing to different subjects, switching from either books to music to my two angels in the room next door, Embry's flawless face merged into the collage.
Somehow – only in thoughts – my train of thought pulled me to another memory. One i thought about almost every day.
It happened almost a month after Seth imprinting, unlike that memory, this one isn't humorous.
FLASHBACK
We were having a dinner at Emily's, to welcome the babies to the huge family. Both packs were there, and the mates, even the tribal elders were coming.
I was holding TK, rocking back and forwards to help him sleep. Most of the boys were deep in conversation, i glanced around the room to see Billy Black with his head dropped. I stepped over all the legs and bodies sprawled out on the floor, making my way to Billy. I touched his shoulder,
"Hey Billy, you okay?" I whispered.
He raised his eyes to me, the skin surrounding them were wrinkled but his eyes held the magic his stories always did.
"Do you want to hold TK?" I asked gently.
His eyes sparkled and i gently lay the bundled up baby in his arms. Billy didn't say anything, he just stared. A flood of tears crept down his cheeks, landing on the thick blanket.
"Billy? Are you okay?" I quickly kneeled down at his side.
His tears turned into a broken sob, gaining the attention of everyone in the room.
"Lexi?" Embry came to my side.
"Dad?" Jake and Rachel asked in unison.
Billy reached his shaking hand to TK's cheek, then gently kissed his forehead, another sob ripped through him.
"Dad." Jacob made his way to Billy's other side.
"H-He's ... H-He's ... M-M-Mine." Billy choked out, everyone looked around confused.
"Billy... he's Embry and my son." I whispered gently, afraid he was thinking TK was his.
He shook his head back and forward, furiously.
Billy raised TK to me, handing him back, i took him and held the sleeping baby against my chest.
Billy continued to sob, Jacob and Rachel confused.
"Dad... talk to me. What is it?" Jacob said in a firm tone, Billy looked up at his son and grabbed his arm tightly.
"I-I'm sorry Jake... I'm sorry Rach..." He gasped in between the loud sobs.
Rachel looked terrified and Paul came over and held her tightly. Jacob didnt look afraid, he looked determined, his eyes searching his fathers.
"Billy, what is it?" Embry also bent down to be leveled with his wheelchair.
Billy's eyes snapped to Embry, holding his gaze intensely. Embry couldn't brake away from his gaze.
"Embry..." Billy whispered, inaudible to my ears, i could only see his lips move.
"Uh okay guys... lets all clear out!" Sam broke into the tense moment.
Both Embry and Billy didnt break eye contact as everyone shuffled out of the room, leaving Jacob, Rachel – Paul, Embry, me and TK, all huddled around Billy.
"Dad!" Jacob barked at his father.
"I... uh... have some explaining to do." Billy's voice was back to normal except i could hear the sadness.
"What is it dad?" Rachel whispered, her voice shaking.
"It was a long time ago... after the twins were born. I was madly in love with my wife, but she had to go for a few months. I met a beautiful lady... her smile and bubbly personality lured me in. I – I stayed with her while you're mother was away." Billy was confessing, i had a feeling i knew where this was going. I quickly looked at Embry, he was still staring at Billy, unblinking and emotionless.
"... She begged me to stay with her. I did love her, but i loved my wife more – it was hard. Hard to say goodbye, but i knew my family was the most important thing to me." His head stayed bowed.
"Y-You ... had an affair on ... mom?" Rachel yelled.
Billy nodded his head slowly.
"How could you do that!" She screeched.
Jacob's eyes were still fixed to Billy's face, only the slight trembling of his hands moved.
"Who?" Embry suddenly hissed.
Billy looked up to meet his gaze, both were masks of pain.
"What was her name!" Embry roared, grabbing a hold of Billy's arm, "Who?!" He yelled again.
"Tanya Call." Billy whispered.
Embry let go of Billy's hand and scrambled to his feet, stepping backwards, horror confusion and pain.
"Embry..." Billy reached out.
Jacob's face was heartbreaking, he stayed kneeling in front of his father, a tear escaped his eye and fell to the ground. Embry's face held the same pain and horror as his new ... brother?
"Please..." Billy asked again.
"You knew the whole time?" Embry asked, he sounded breathless.
Billy nodded, "But i've always loved you Embry..." he added.
Embry gave me a quick look and i nodded once, he was out the door in a flash.
Billy wiped away his tears then reached out to Jacob and Rachel.
"Son..." He said gently but firmly.
"Y-You kept a brother from us?" Rachel snatched her arm back.
"I couldn't hurt you're mother." Billy answered.
"So you'd rather lie?" Rachel whipped back.
Jacob got to his feet, stepping back - a lot like Embry had – shaking his head at his father.
"Jake..." Billy murmured.
"Y-You just left her? All alone to raise you're child? You claim to love mom, to love us... but you lie!" Jacob's voice was calm but it just made his pain more visible.
"I didn't lie son..." Billy retorted.
"You lied!" Jacob cut in, his tone powerful.
"You lied to me dad! He's my best friend! He was always over at our house! You heard him talk about the struggles his mom was going through paying for food. And you still didn't do anything! When he phased, you kept you're distance and let Sam deal with him, because you were scared! I looked up to you, as a tribal leader ... as a man, but you're neither! You speak of loyalty and commitment but you don't practice it yourself. Do you want to know what Embry told me after TK and TJ were born...? He admitted he used to be scared of fatherhood, but he knows what he doesnt want to be... and that like his father. He swore he would never be so cold to any of his children. That was you! You are no father of mine!" Jacob finished, his eyes burning again.
Rachel turned into Paul's arm's blubbering into his chest.
Jacob left without another word, slipping out the door.
I was heading to the car, placing the babies in when a heartbreaking howl lit up the night, slowly followed by another mournful song.
I closed my eyes and rested my head against the window of the car, it was Embry and Jake... crying out.
That night i woke to soft murmurs outside my open wndow, i crept over to see Jacob and Embry talking.
"...Em, i'm sorry." Jacob muttered, scuffing his foot back and forward.
Embry put a hand on his shoulder, "It's okay... We've always been family."
Jake winced then nodded again.
"Night Jake..." He gave him a bro hug "This is gonna sound weird but ... I love you man, ya know – as a brother." Jacob looked up awkwardly.
Embry smiled "I know bro... me too. We can work this out Jake, i'll speak to Billy." He turned towards the front door, Jake heading back to the woods.
Two best friends ... Two werewolves ... Two brothers.
FLASHBACK ENDED
It still brought tears to my eyes, thinking of that night and all the strong emotions everyone felt. Jake and Billy worked it out. Embry and Billy are closer, Embry and Jacob are the same, if not closer.
Amongst all the wild thoughts in my head, somehow sleep found me.
I dreamt of Embry and his warm touch, my body craved it. Sadly he never came.
I woke up to Kora squealing, "Okay Lexi! Time to wake up!" She drew the curtains back revealing the clouded sky.
"Ugh! 10 more minuets..." I grumbled rolling over and hiding my head under a pillow.
"Lexi... for goodness sakes! It's you're wedding day, a little enthusiasm wouldn't go amiss." She snatched the blankets off me.
Wedding day.
My wedding day.
Embry and my wedding day.
The day Embry will be mine forever.
"Look Lex, the girls are all here and it's after 11... you need to get up." Kora said.
After 11? What the heck was i still doing in bed?
"Come on Lexi... Alice will be here in 5minuets" Kora laughed hitting my back. I didn't move and a few seconds later Kora called out, "LEAH!"
Hot arms were around me, pulling me off the bed and carrying me down the stairs.
"Oh Leah, you look so purddy." I eyed her dress. It was a ocean blue falling above her knees. Leah was always toned, and this dress definately made me jealous of her rock hard stomach.
I noticed her cheeks flush red, "Oh shut up Lex! Now get in the shower." The bathroom door closed behind her.
Time flew, or passed by unbelievably slow. As soon as i turned the shower off, Alice was bursting into the room without any warning, giving me a robe and sitting me in the busy kitchen.
"Okay... makeup then hair." She seemed to say to someone.
"Where's TK and TJ?" I mumbled as she buffed my face.
"Well Seth and Maxie were on babysitting duties... I think Nessie's playing with them too." She chirped.
"Can i have some food?" I asked after a lifetime of sitting on the chair. It was hard to talk with all the hands touching my face.
"No time for food Lex. The ceremony starts in an hour, you really didn't give me enough time!" She growled.
My hair was pulled back off my face but i could feel it tumble down my back.
The makeup didn't feel plastered on, my skin felt smooth under my hand.
I was led back to my room where Kora, Kim and Emily were surrounding the bed.
"Oh ... Alice! S-She looks beautiful." Emily gushed.
"Yes, thank you." Kora's eyes raked me up and down.
They all twirled me around, talking about my hair and makeup. I pulled on the essentials then they stripped my robe off and helped me get into the dress.
It was a plain white, no fluffy lace, it wasn't over the top – subtle but elegant.
"Jeez... can i look in the mirror yet?" I asked as they slipped my shoes on.
"Crap crap crap!" Kora bustled into the room, she looked beautiful, a dress the same as Leah looked fantastic on her as well.
"Kora..." I whispered, stumbling over to her – i still hadn't quite mustered high heels, "...you look amazing." I looked her up and down.
"Thank you... but no no no." She waved her hands around franticly.
"We're bloody late!" She huffed.
All the girls filed out of the room, tugging me along behind them, then out the door.
"Leah!" Kora stopped me before i stepped onto the muddy lawn.
Leah stepped out of a car and hurried over, opening her arms to me.
I gave her a weird look, "You can't be serious." I snorted.
"Hey... do you think i like being you're personal horse?" She rolled her eyes and pulled me easily enough into her arms, carrying me across the lawn.
The sky was clearing up – just as Alice had said – the sun will actually make an appearance today.
We pulled up to the beach, i tried to look around for Em, but Kora busted me and covered my eyes. It looked like all of La Push was here, wouldn't surprise me, but butterflies started to assault my stomach.
When my eyes were uncovered, we were standing at the beach's lot, three massive black vans were blocking my view. There was a lot of hushed whispers, and i noticed all the beautifully dressed women around me.
Emily had a gorgeous baby blue dress that hugged her hips, Kim wore the same and it emphasized her gorgeous curves.
Karla ran up to me, telling me how pretty i looked.
She was a flower girl, along with Claire and Renesmee. The three girls looked amazing in the matching dresses.
"Okay... it's starting... Claire, Karla, Nessie," Emily whispered.
My heart throbbed, almost painfully, it felt like my nonexistent breakfast was going to be coming up any second.
Kora noticed my distress and came over, squeezing my hand.
"Lexi... breathe, deep breathe's." She said calmly.
I felt like an idiot. How cliché is it to feel sick at this moment.
"I-I think I'm g-gonna pass out." I choked. Kora's eyes widened for a moment then she took a hold of my shoulders almost violently.
"Lexi... this is you're wedding! Pull it together." She hissed.
"Not helping!" I wailed gaining everyone's attention.
Great so now everyone's going to watch me have a panic attack.
"That's Embry our there Lex. The man you love, the father of you're children. You shouldn't be out here nervous, you should be running down the aisle to get to him! You love him and he loves you." She said in a hard tone.
"Y-You're right. Thank you Kor'z" I smiled and took a deep breathe. I needed to hear that. I was still nervous just not like i was a second ago.
"I-I have to go Lex... i'm up." She backed away slightly.
I nodded and watched her slip around the other side of the van. I closed my eyes and pressed my hands to my forehead.
Concentrate Lexi... Don't fall down! Toe to heel... or ... is it ... heel to toe? Oh shit! I'm screwed, i'm gonna fall on my face.
"Lexi..." Hot arms took my hand and pulled me into a hug, i knew it wasn't Embry but i hugged him back.
"You okay? I think you're up in a second." He glanced around the van. "By the way Lex... you look amazing, Embry's going to have heart failure."
"Jake, you love Embry right?" I asked hurriedly.
"Uh yeah... i mean, he's my brother... of course" He nodded.
"Can y-you give me away?"
He didn't answer, his eyes stayed fixed on me.
"You want me to give you away? Why?" He now looked confused.
"Why not you? You're like my older brother, well you're Embry's brother... i want you to give me away." I could hear the music start.
"But I'm supposed to be standing next to Em." He said scratching his head.
"Please Jake..." I gave him the puppy dog eyes.
He smiled, took my hand in his and led me around the van.
It was beautiful, the ocean was calm in the background, a huge white archway staged in front of the seated people. Flowers everywhere.
"Amazing..." i breathed.
Kim and Emily were walking down the carpeted aisle, the three girls dancing ahead of them, throwing hand fulls of petals, and just starting was Leah and Kora.
"Ready?" I asked Jake.
"Are you?" He chuckled.
"Please don't let me fall Jake." I whispered as the music changed into one of my favourites.
Eva Cassidy – Songbird.
Jacob pulled my hand through his and clutched it for dear life.
We started down the aisle and as we did the sun broke through the clouds, beating down on my exposed skin, Alice had been right.
Everyone stood and a few gasps escaped their mouths. I'm unsure if it was because Jacob was walking with me or maybe it was my makeup. My song played gently over the speakers...
For you there'll be no crying
For you the sun will be shining
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's alright, I know it's right
Then i saw him. I looked straight into his eyes, a glorious smile spread across his face. The crazy mutant butterflies that had been playing boxing with my stomach, had died. My heart swelled in my chest, making it hard for me to breathe.
Finally we were nearing the archway – where Embry stood – Jacob took my hand in his just as we stopped in front of him.
My eyes roamed down, noticing the perfect black tuxedo he wore, his hair pulled back from his eyes.
My smile was more like a grin, i couldn't help but marvel at his perfection.
"For a minuet there i thought you ditched." Embry said to Jake, low enough for the wolves to hear.
"Wouldn't miss my brothers wedding for the world." Jake said, placing my hand in Embry's.
There was no fireworks when his skin touched mine, it was more a sense of belonging. My hand fitted perfectly into his.
We are one. Two halves of a whole.
My eyes were locked on Embry's the whole ceremony, the moment of vows came.
I had written vows and rehearsed them a thousand times in front of Kora and Emily.
"Lexi. What can I say to you that I haven't already said. What can I give you that I haven't already given. Is there anything of me that isn't yours already. My body, my mind, my heart, my soul. Everything that is me, belonged to you long before this, And it shall be yours long after this. I will follow you anywhere and everywhere you lead. Hand in hand and heart in heart. I am and forever will be your's." He slipped the ring over my finger and kissed it gently.
My eyes blurred and i immediately blinked them away, i didn't want to look away from his face.
The minister nodded to me, the vows i had practiced flowed out of me like poetry.
"Embry, you have filled my world with meaning. You have made me so happy and more fulfilled as a person. Where there has been cold, you have brought warmth; where my life was dark, you have brought light. Thank you for taking me as I am; loving me, and welcoming me into your heart. I promise to always love you, and to be faithful to you forever. Today I join my life with yours. Wherever you go, I will go; whatever you face, I will face and I commit myself to you for the rest of my life. From this day forward, you shall not walk alone. My heart will be your shelter and my arms will be your home. As I have given you my hand to hold, I give you my life. I will always love you Embry Call."
I slipped the ring on his warm fingers, i looked up to his glowing face, tears were free falling down my cheeks, a tear escaped his eye, glistening all the way down his cheek.
"I now pronounce you... Husband and Wife." The minister said. "You may kiss the bride." My numb body seemed to come alive.
Embry stepped closer, his right hand holding my left, his left hand reached up and brushed away some tears. Slowly he leaned in, my eyes fluttered closed, his lips brushed mine,
"I love you." He whispered just as his mouth came in contact with mine. I reached my hand up to his face, trying to prolong the magical kiss.
He pulled back gently, his smile was victorious, the crowd erupted into applause and we were immediately swamped by the people.
I held onto Embry tighter, refusing to let his hand go.
The day played on, the reception was just as beautiful as the ceremony. Embry and my first dance was too Aerosmith – Don't want to miss a thing. It was one of Embry's favorites.
Halfway through i noticed Seth and Leah walk in, both holding babies. I dropped Embry's hand and ran straight too them, laying kisses on the giggling babies.
The day turned into night, a few guest's left and Embry and I managed to slip away from the reception, down the beach.
He picked me up in his arms – bridal styles – and carried me to the same place we had our first date.
He sat down on the sand, holding me to his chest.
"You look beautiful Lexi..." He whispered.
"You scrub up pretty good too." I chuckled,
We watched the moon come out from a long cloud, it's light beamed down on us, turning the beach into a moonlit wonderland.
"Thank you..." I turned and said.
"For?" He asked stroking my cheek again.
"For you..." I smiled and kissed his lips. Our tongues dancing together, lips moving in synchronization.
"Thank you Lexi..." He whispered once both of our breathing was ragged.
"For?"
"Finding me." He said for the second time. I smiled and he touched his lips back to mine, sweetly. I nuzzled his neck a little and then leaned into his embrace more.
We watched the waves crash onto the beach and the moon dance across the sky.
Neither of us had anything to say... I lay in his beautiful arms and i knew everything was going to be okay.
I have Embry, my best-friend.
My lover.
My life.
My husband.
My protector.
