Not Everything is as Clear as Swan

by Sky Maxwell

"The pain in my spine ramped up the from stiffness all the way to searing, blinding agony faster than I could blink. The pain was like needles that were dipped in alcohol and were being jammed through my skin like my back had been replaced with ice and electricity wired straight into my spine." BellaxEdward. BellaxJasper. BellaxEmmett. Bella's name is replaced by Tammy. Enjoy!

29. The Reception (Tam and Jasper's POV:)

After the ceremony, it was time for the reception. I decided to change from my wedding dress, so my clumsiness wouldn't ruin it. My reception dress was a cream wrap dress with a bow in the back. Instead of my heels, I wore cream flats to match my shoes. Suddenly, Alice ran into my room.

"Can I redo your hair?!" She exclaimed excitedly.

"Of course!" After a few minutes, my hair was done, it was long and fell into wavy curls, I added a cream headband. I headed to the reception hall excited to see my new husband. The DJ played "our" song for us to dance to.

"Heartbeats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave?

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt

Suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more."

"I have died every day waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer

One step closer

I have died every day waiting for you

Darling, don't be afraid

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more."Jasper and I slowed danced to the song, and suddenly it felt like everything was right. It felt like it was just us in the world. We continued slow dancing until the song was over.

Jasper's POV:

Tammy looks absolutely stunning tonight. There aren't enough words to describe how stunning she looks. The dancing was exhausting but it was worth it, to see Tammy's pearly white smile. Suddenly, Tula and Emmett burst in. It was as if time had stopped. Everyone frozen in place as if they were statues, hardly breathing, some vampires/vampiresses weren't breathing at all!

A/N: Song in this Chapter was, again, A Thousand Years by Christina Perri.
