BEFORE THE CLEARWATER'S

CHAPTER 16

SAVANNAH P.O.V

"This is exhausting." I whined to Alice as she shoved more pictures of wedding dresses at me. I had no idea what I was looking for in a dress. "I have no idea what type of dress I want."

"Well what does Seth like on you?"

"That's a dumb question and that doesn't help me decide." I commented folding down the pages of a magazine of a few dresses that I would like to try on. "Can I see pictures of my moms wedding dress again?" My parents had a very small wedding with mostly just family. My mom was never into big parties or big gatherings.

"I think I have a few laying around." She rushed off and brought me back a photo album. "These are filled with your mom." She commented laying it in my lap. I filled through the pages.

"Does she know you have this?" A lot of the pages were filled with pictures of my mom as a teenager and her wedding.

"No. She doesn't even know that most of them were taken. The wedding one's she's seen but we paid for extra so that we could have a set too."

"Why?" She looked over at me.

"Because she's human."

"Because she'll die." I commented.

"Or that's what we thought when she got married. When she was pregnant with you, your blood mixed which could have been bad but it was wolf blood. It healed her. Her aging has slowed, just like yours. But still, neither one of you phase. We will never be able to tell if you'll die."

"You think I'll die?" I asked.

"There's no way to tell." She answered. I had spent most of my life believing that I wasn't going to age beyond this age.

"Does... Does Seth know that?" She nodded.

"There is always a possibility of you aging and if that happens, Seth will stop phasing to age with you. If you die, he wouldn't be far behind you."

"What does that mean?"

"Usually when a wolf imprints and the imprint dies, the one who imprints usually dies of a broken heart." I started thinking of all of the imprints and their mates. Emily and Sam. Kim and Jared. Paul and Rachel. Me and Seth. Quil and Claire. I'm sure many more were to come.

"It's like some sort of fairytale."

"Yeah, a fucked up one." Emmett commented from behind us.

"Can you please not swear?" Esme asked from the kitchen where she was making me some lunch. Seth would be coming over after work to decide the menu for the wedding.

"I really wish I was walking you down the aisle cause I would make jokes the whole time."

"I'm sure you would, Uncle Emmett." I rolled my eyes. It was so easy to call him uncle. He acted like the crazy drunk uncle without being able to get drunk. I didn't have any uncles.

"Savannah? What's the difference between a g-spot and a golf ball?"

"For the love of God, Emmett!" Edward shouted from somewhere in the house. I laughed.

"What?"

"A guy will actually look for a golf ball."

"Seth finds the g-spot just fine, thanks." I answered turning back to Alice. Edward laughed from upstairs.

"Em, honey, close your mouth. The flies will get in." I smirked as I looked over my shoulder at him and he was standing there shocked.

"You are 18 you nasty girl." He said.

"18 and getting married." Edward added to the conversation. "Don't you think you're too young?" He asked leaning over the couch and grabbing the magazine from me.

"No. Lots of 18 year olds get married." I commented turning to look at him. "Seth isn't getting any younger."

"Speaking of. He's 32."

"I'm sorry. Is there a problem mister dating a 17 year old while being 119?"

"That's different."

"No it's not. Seth isn't aging either."

"He is part human though." I wasn't having this conversation again. I remember having it when I confessed to Alice that I had feelings for Seth and Edward went crazy saying how I was young.

"I'm marrying him whether you like it or not." I was looking right at him as he looked at me. He threw the magazine next to me.

"I'm going hunting." He commented quickly before leaving. I swallowed the lump in my throat. I had always had a great relationship with all of the Cullen's but for some reason I always valued Edwards opinion the most. Maybe it was because he could read everyone else's thoughts and knew what they were also thinking. Upsetting him, upset me.

"He'll come around." Esme said gently rubbing my back as she set my food down. "Also good news, if you can finish all of your courses within the next two months, you'll be able to graduate."

"Really?" I smiled.

"Yes." She grinned with a proud look in her eyes. "And then you'll have all the time in the world to plan for a wedding." I laughed at her words. It was still so crazy that I was getting married.

About an hour later Seth came through the door with Sue and mom behind him.

"Seth!" I shouted jumping off the couch and jumping into his arms. "Hi."

"Hi, beautiful." He smiled kissing me. "I brought back up." I knew that Sue wasn't very comfortable being around vampires. Carlisle motioned for the boys to follow him and they all fled out the back door. Rosalie, Alice and Esme stayed to help with the wedding plans. Thankfully they respected Sue enough that they did everything at a human pace.

"So how far did we get?" Mom asked as she sat down next to Alice. Alice went over everything with everyone. She shoved samples of everything I picked out at Seth before hiding the dresses so he couldn't see them.

"Which flower's did you like, Vannah?" He asked.

"I liked the sunflowers but I wasn't sure if it went with our purple."

"If you want sunflowers you should change your colors to red then." Alice commented. We were going to go with purple because I felt that it would look amazing for a fall wedding but the sunflowers were just so beautiful and so far no one in our families have used sunflowers.

"I'm okay changing the colors to red for the sunflowers."

"Also if we're getting married in 2021, we should change the date to May 8th so that it's a Saturday."

"Sounds good to me."

"Okay I will order the flowers in six months. I wrote up a few places that we can cater from and the menus. You choose what you want and I'll order that." Alice commented shoving a book at Seth. "Now, do you want me to book you an appointment at Kleinfeld's?"

"Are you serious?" I asked looking from her to Esme to Rosalie who were all nodding.

"It'll be a graduation present."

"Yes! Oh my gosh!" I was so excited. I couldn't stop smiling as Alice made phone calls.

"Where is this?" Seth asked.

"New York."

"You're going to New York? With a bunch of vampires?" He asked looking around.

"I'm planning it for a weekend when it's suppose to rain." Alice confirmed as she booked an appointment. I was so excited. It made the whole thing seems so real. "Now, Savannah, pick out wedding invitations." She commented leading me over to the computer. Since we were now going with sunflowers, I found a beautiful invitation with them. I typed in the information before showing Alice.

"I want this one." She looked over the guest book before ordering however many we needed.

"Done. They'll be shipped out as soon as I get them addressed." She smiled. "Should be here in two weeks."

"Perfect." I went over to Seth to see if he had made any progress. He seemed to be stuck between a few different places. "What were you thinking?" I asked leaning into him over the couch while Sue was looking at tables and chairs with Esme.

"Either steak or chicken." He shrugged.

"Can we do like a salad bar or something?" I asked Alice. "Maybe mashed potatoes with chicken?"

"We can do a salad bar. Wanna do a fruit bar too?" She asked writing down the things we said.

"Yeah. That would be cute."

"And a dessert bar."

"Genius." I smiled at Seth. I could not wait for our wedding. "What?" He asked looking at me.

"I'm just so in love with you." I wrapped my arms around him and rested my forehead on his. I heard a camera go off but didn't care. My eyes were closed but I could still feel the tears welling up in them. I pulled back to look at him. As soon as he saw the tears fall from my eyes he looked worried.

"Why are you crying?" He grabbed my face wiping the tears away with his thumbs.

"I'm so excited to start this next chapter with you." Within the next two weeks I would be moving in with him. I was more than ready for this chapter of our lives.

*SETH P.O.V*

I drove everyone home after dinner that Esme made for us while we chatted about wedding plans. I didn't really care about anything having to do with the wedding but it was nice that they included me. I just wanted Savannah to be happy.

"Little unfair that I have to sit back here. I'm your mother." Mom mumbled as I drove. I looked in the mirror to look at her and Bella. I was letting Savannah sit in the front with me.

"Well you two are getting out. Savannah's not." I squeezed her hand. She smiled at me before looking back out the window. I could tell that she was feeling a little embarrassed about her little break down earlier but I knew that this process was going to be emotional on not only her but our parents too. I was expecting more tears within the next coming year.

I pulled into moms driveway and parked the car. I got out and opened the door for her. I walked her to the door making sure she got in safe.

"Love you, Seth."

"Love you too, mom." I smiled before rushing back to the car. I then drove Bella home and also walked her to the door while Savannah stayed in the car. I'm sure she was exhausted. Once I knew that Bella was in safe, I ran back to the car and got in.

"I'm graduating soon." Savannah said to me. "If I finish my courses on time. Which I don't see how I wouldn't." She smiled.

"That's amazing!" I shouted pulling out of the driveway and driving home. "We should celebrate." I smirked pulling into my spot and pulling her onto my lap kissing her.

"I'm not doing it in the car." She whispered getting off my lap and heading to the door. I followed behind her and slapped her butt while I unlocked the door. She took her shirt off as she stepped into the hallway. I kissed her holding her to me as she took my shirt off. I kicked my shoes off just as she did the same and pulled my pants down. I jacked myself off while she took her pants off.

Once she was undressed I lifted her against the wall and thrust into her. Her pants turned into moans.

"Please, Seth." She moaned scratching my back. I thrust harder into her rubbing her clit. "Oh god!" She moaned out. Before she could reach her orgasm I pulled out and shoved her further up the wall. I slowly let my tongue play with her clit. She was gripping my hair with one hand while the other was on the ceiling making sure her head didn't hit it. He legs were hanging over my shoulders and down my back while I held her by her butt.

"What the fuck." I heard muffled by Savannah's thighs.

"Stop!" She screamed shoving at my head and covering her boobs. I set her down and turned to Quil. I kept Savannah's body behind mine.

"Can you people learn to knock! For fuck's sack!" I shouted. Savannah's small hand was rested on my back. "Get out!" I carried on.

"Bro we just wanted to see if you wanted to come hang out."

"No. I don't." I said. "You're always interrupting us! Learn to call!"

"Learn to lock your fucking door." He said before slamming the door behind him. Savannah shoved passed me grabbing her clothes and heading up the stairs. I followed her trying to grab her arm but it burned me.

"Babe, why are you mad?" I asked. We had such a good day making plans and I didn't want anything to ruin it.

"Are you kidding?" She asked going into the bathroom. "I'm getting sick of your friends." She commented.

"I will tell them to cool it with just coming over."

"And guess what, Seth?!" She shouted. "He saw me naked and now he's going to think about it while he's phased and my dad will also see me naked."

"I hate to break it to you, but they have all seen you naked." I swear if looks could kill I would be dead on spot. She growled at me before slamming the bathroom door and turning on the shower. I sighed. I was in the dog house. "You do realize that it's hard to not think about you right? I mean you had to know that they've seen you naked." I shouted through the door.

"Should have just kept your mouth shut!" I rolled my eyes.

"Open the door." I said. I could easily break it down but I didn't want to explain that to anyone. I heard it unlock before she swung the door open. She scowled at me. "What do you want me to do? I didn't know he was going to walk in. I will talk to them about knocking first."

"We're never having sex again." I knew she wasn't being serious. I'm sure we'll make up and do it tomorrow but her even saying it pissed me off.

"What?"

"Didn't know werewolves were hard of hearing."

"You're just being a bitch."

"Yeah. I am." She commented taking her towel off and getting dressed before going to shut the water off. "I'm going for a run."

"To where? It's nearly 9."

"Home."

"You're overreacting. If you want to go home I'll just drive you." Even though I really didn't want her to go home. "You're acting like a child. People get caught having sex all the time." I followed her down the stairs. I don't know why bad things always happen to me.

"That's not the point. You're acting like it's nothing."

"And you're acting like it's the end of the world." I commented going into the kitchen.

"Just take me home." She raised her voice heading out the front door. I quickly put my clothes on before heading out the front door and locking it behind me. I went to the car and got in. I quietly drove her home. She kept her arms crossed and she was turned away from me for the whole ride. When I pulled in the driveway I shut the car off and went to follow her inside. "Go home."

"No." I commented. She stopped me when I got to the porch.

"I don't want you here."

"You're a liar." I answered calmly.

"Just leave." She said going into the house. I could hear the t.v on. I followed behind her. "Dad, tell Seth to go home." She said going into the living room. I rolled my eyes at both of them.

"Go home, Seth."

"No."

"He said no." Jacob said to her.

"Be serious."

"I can't I'm dad." I could nearly see the steam coming out of her ears as she huffed and went to her room. "What's her problem?"

"Quil walked in on us having sex."

"I see."

"And now she's mad at me and doesn't want me around." I answered sitting down next to him. "But I'm not going home."

"I'm sure once she's asleep you can sneak into her room."

"I'll just crash on the couch." Bella came out with Finn who was wide awake. "I'll take him." I held my arms out for him.

"Thanks." She smiled handing him to me. "What are you doing here?"

"Fighting with Sav." I answered rocking Finn.

"Well good luck with that. I'm going to bed." She commented kissing Jacob and heading to their bedroom. "Good night."

"Good night." We both responded.

"I should probably head to bed too." Jake commented looking over at me.

"What did you plan this so you could screw your wife?" I asked.

"Please just give us an hour. If he's not asleep I'll come get him."

"One hour." With that he quickly rushed off to the bedroom. I headed up to Finn's room to sit in the rocking chair. Thankfully I got him to sleep within a half hour. I quickly turned on the baby monitor and the fan before stepping out into the hallway.

"What are you still doing here?" Savannah was stood in the hallway with her arms crossed.

"I was taking care of Finn so your parents could have sex." I answered truthfully. Of course the real reason I was here was because I couldn't sleep without her but I didn't want to admit that to her.

"Go home."

"No." She rolled her eyes.

"You're annoying."

"And you're immature." I commented heading down the stairs. I grabbed a blanket a pillow from the closet and settled on the couch.

"He asleep?" I heard Jacob ask.

"Yeah." I answered. I listened to Savannah finally settle into bed. Once her breathing changed, I slowly snuck into her room. If she really didn't want me coming in, she would have locked it. I got into bed with her and she automatically cuddled into me. I wrapped my arms around her. I knew in the morning we would probably continue our fight but for now, I enjoyed her warmth and fell asleep.
