A/N: Well, here's the last chapter, hope you like it!
"So, Edward, what do you want?"

"Tell me why Jacob Black is standing at the door." He said, pointing toward the door.

I frowned, why was Jacob here? I listened, sure enough, he was there.

"You might not want to keep him there, he's already been waiting for a couple minutes while you slid down the banister."

I smiled weakly and headed to the door.

"Hello Jacob." I said. "What brings you here."

"I heard about the wedding."

"It's gone as far as La Push?" I asked, incredulous.

"No, I called Charlie, to see how you were doing."

"Since when do you care about my welfare?

"Since you practically got yourself killed by Victoria."

"Point taken, even though that was back in January."

"I've been watching you, from a distance."

"Do you know how creepy that sounds?"

"Okay, so I've been calling Charlie one a week to see how you've been. I'm surprised you didn't find out."

"So am I. But that still doesn't answer why you're here."

"I was wondering if I could come. You didn't invite me, but I want to go."

I frowned and wondered why he wanted to come.

I really like seeing her happy, and I want to be there on the happiest day of her life.

Either he was sincere, or doing a really good cover up.

"You don't have some deranged plan of crashing the wedding do you? Otherwise, your life is at the hands of Edward."

"Bella, I thought you knew me better."

"Your father wasn't very predictable when it came to vampires."

"I'm not him." He growled. "I don't have any deranged plans to crash the wedding." He added, it was backed up by his thoughts.

"Okay, you can come, but no one else. You're a family friend. Any more werewolves and the vampires might have some issues."

"I'll be the only werewolf there. Promise."

"You had better keep it. I'll see you there."

I hadn't invited him in, the conversation took less than five minutes.

"You just invited him to the wedding didn't you?"

"Yeah, I did."

"Let's just hope he doesn't ruin it."

"Yeah, let's just hope."


It was two days before the wedding and I was at Charlie's house. The phone had been ringing non-stop all day. Charlie had to call me over so he could go to work it was ringing so much.

Most of the time, it was Mom, she was flying in tomorrow and was wondering what to bring, or what not to bring and how long she should stay and what not.

Jacob called for his weekly checkup on me, and I gave it to him. That phone call was brief.

Jessica called once. She wanted to know what to wear. But once I had told her the conversation switched to me and Edward and the wedding. When I had first invited her, she seemed a little skeptical of me getting married just after high-school let out. Thankfully, Angela was there and talked sense into her, saying that she didn't know two more mature people in her life. She was really happy for me and Edward. I was glad I had invited her.

She herself had called, wanting to see how I was. That was a long conversation, but it was at least pleasant.

One of the times had been Mike, wanting to know where I was going to college. Technically, I wasn't going to college this year. I told him that and he freaked asking why. I replied by telling him that one year wasn't going to put me back that far, plenty of people wait a year between high school and college. Plus, I had forever to go to college. I just didn't tell him that. He then said that he'd see me at the wedding.

Charlie had called to see how I was holding up, I told him I was doing okay.

Alice called mainly because she wanted to see if it would bug me to have one more person call me. Technically, I had never been more thankful that she had called, because while I was talking to her, Mom called in, but with no call-waiting, my conversation was put off with her for a good ten minutes.

Edward called to ask if I was going hunting tonight, I had told him yes.

Tyler prank called me, I have no idea why. So immature for graduates of high school. He called from Minnesota, which is where he's going to college and why he's not coming to the wedding, technically, it's just Jessica, Angela, and Mike. Mike's still in Washington, Jessica's down in Oregon. Angela's in California, but both of them are driving up here for the wedding.

Finally, I disabled the phone. If they really needed to get a hold of me, they can call my cell phone.

Sadly, it's ringing. It's Mom.

She called me several times sometimes to chat, other times for random things. It was really tedious.

Charlie called me wondering why I wasn't answering the house phone, I told him why. Thankfully, he understood. He had just called to tell me he'd be home soon. I checked the clock, it was almost eight.

Edward called me to ask me if I wanted him to pick me up before we went hunting. I told him yes.

Charlie showed up around the same time Edward did.

It was hunting time for me!


Ahh, hunting, sometimes it's better at night.

What I was not happy about is when we got back, I found out that Edward and I can't see each other until the wedding. That was close to thirty-six hours away. Stupid wedding traditions.

Alice took me shopping to keep my mind off it.

"Oh, come on! It's your last day single!" Somehow that didn't cheer me up.

The shopping ceased when we drove to Seattle to pick up my Mom and Phil.

"Enjoying your last day as a single woman?" She asked.

"Not particularly."

She only rolled her eyes. Alice and I dropped her off then went back to shopping. It was never-ending.

Edward's POV

"Oh, come on, Ed, it's your last day as a bachelor!" Emmett said, throwing me the baseball, I caught it with a loud crack.

"Two things Emmett: One, that doesn't change the fact that I'm not enjoying this. Two: Don't. Call. Me. Ed. I threw the baseball and it hit him in the chest with a loud bang and he flew back a few feet.

"Guys, settle down, people are going to think we're shooting guns or something!" Jasper warned.

Emmett shrugged and threw the baseball lightly. I caught it and pocketed it.

"Hey, no fair!"

"Jasper's right, people might get suspicious."

Jasper looked amused as I walked back toward the house. Emmett only pouted.

I locked myself in my room and put on some music, desperately wishing that I could sleep away the next twenty-four hours.

Bella's POV

I was in Alice's room, putting on my dress. Finally, it was time. The wedding was at five-o'clock. It was four-thirty. My hair was already done, so was what little makeup they decided to put on me. Alice and Rosalie were both already in their dresses.

I had agreed not to listen to any of the minds of the boys. Just as Edward agreed not to listen to any of the minds of the girls. It was only fair he said, and I didn't want him to see my dress.

"Bella! You look great!" Alice squealed when I turned around.

"Not great Alice, perfect." Rosalie corrected.

"Come on! It's almost time!" Alice tugged on my arm.

"Here's the bouquet!" Rosalie said, handing it to me.

The three of us walked down the stairs and waited by the back door.

The wedding procession began. Rosalie went out first with Emmett. The boys were all waiting just outside the back door so they didn't see the girls before it was time.

Alice went out next, I peeked out the window. I saw the Denali, my parents, Jessica, Mike, Angela, and Jacob-he did actually show up. There were only two rows of chairs. Carlisle was standing at the altar. Esme was in the front row next to Mom and Phil. Charlie was waiting for me.

Finally, it was my turn. I stepped out and met Charlie, my eyes met Edward's. This day was perfect.

Edward's POV

She was so beautiful, coming down the aisle. She was dazzling, shimmering, sparkling…. Wait, sparkling? I glanced around and sure enough, the sun had come out from behind the clouds. Uh-oh. I scanned the minds of the crowd, my family was nervous, as were the Denali. Jacob seemed amused. Bella's parents knew what was going on yet didn't think anything of it, her mom thought it wonderful that Bella was getting married under a sunset. But they weren't the ones I was worried about.

I scanned the minds of the three that didn't know our secret. Jessica was wondering how we managed to glitter like that, Angela was in awe, Mike was confused. No trouble yet.

I met Bella's eyes, she saw my worry about the sun, she scanned the minds as well.

We'll have the most trouble from Mike.

"Let's not worry." I whispered to my family. Too low for human ears.

Bella met me and I walked her to the altar. We said our vows, slightly laughing at the "'till death do we part" part. Then, we slipped the rings on each other's fingers and I kissed her.

We pulled apart after an eternity. Bella looked happier than ever, I couldn't stop grinning myself. Bella threw the bouquet. Jessica caught it and beamed.

I led Bella to the reception.

Bella's POV

I couldn't believe it. We were finally married. I looked at my skin, it was still glittering in the sunset. Thankfully, the reception was inside.

Jessica came running up to me. "How did you manage to get your skin to glitter like that, you and all the Cullen's?"

"Jessica, if I told you, you wouldn't believe me."

"Why not?"

"Jess, just trust me on this one."

"Well, it looked great!"

"Thanks."

"I caught the bouquet!"

"I know."

She looked at Mike and sighed, "It's a pity we're at different colleges."

I noticed Mike was walking this way.

"Congratulations Bella. You and Cullen are a good match."

"His name is Edward, Mike."

"Right, Edward, hey Jessica, do you want to dance?"

Jessica's eyes widened in delight, "Yes!" she squealed. I left the two of them alone.

I was stopped once again by Angela.

"Bella, there's something I've been wondering."

"Go ahead."

"It's kind of crazy, almost like a myth, but I've been doing some research on the side since last year. But everything seems to fit…" she trailed off but one word was present in her mind, but almost as if she was afraid to think it, let alone say it. Vampires.

"Vampires." I said.

"How did you know?" she asked, shocked.

"Come over here, and I'll tell you." I led her away from the crowd, especially from Mike and Jessica.

"You guys are vampires, aren't you?"

I nodded. Slightly afraid. Angela was smart. She asked questions, she wondered about things. She had figured it out.

"I always knew there was something different about the Cullen's. And you too, when you showed back up for senior year. But some things just don't make sense."

"How we can come out in the day, how we can live around humans, things like that?" I prodded.

Angela nodded. I found myself explaining everything to her. I trusted her. She wouldn't tell, no one would believe her anyway. She was going back to California.

"I knew there was something more to them, to you. Don't worry, I won't tell a soul. It's not like anyone would believe me anyway. By the way, you looked really great walking down the aisle sparkling like that."

"Thanks."

Angela left to go get some punch. I followed her thoughts, she was taking everything so calmly, now I know what Edward felt like when he told me. Angela was smart, different, she could handle it.

Jacob came up to me and congratulated me, asking why I had told Angela what I did. I replied with I only confirmed it and explained the finer details. Telling her no more than absolutely necessary.

Edward was slightly shocked at my actions, but one look at Angela's mind and he seemed okay.

"How did she figure it out?"

"She watched, she noticed, did some research, asked questions. Kind of like me." I said.

"She's smarter than I gave her credit for. I'm surprised I didn't notice it last year."

"So am I. Thankfully, we won't have to worry about her."

"Would you like to have this dance?" he asked after a few minutes.

"Yes, I would." I said, and he swept me over to where everyone was dancing.

After a couple of dances, the two of us cut the cake and fed it to the humans and Jacob.

Mike and Jessica didn't notice that we didn't eat. They were too engrossed with each other. Something told me the two of them would be getting back together.

Everyone began to leave. Mike took Jessica to his house, Mom and Phil went to their hotel, Charlie to his home, Jacob went back to La Push, the Denali headed back to Alaska. Everyone had left except Angela.

"Thank you for telling me Bella. You didn't have to, it's nice to know you trust me, it's nice to know all of you do." She said, looking at all eight of us in turn.

"Most people run screaming when they find out what we are." Edward said.

"Then my common sense just must not be kicking in right now," she replied smiling.

"You remind me of someone else I know." Edward said, looking at me.

I smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

"Well, I should be going, it's a long drive back to California."

"It was nice seeing you, thank you for coming!" I said, giving her a hug.

"It was no problem, I miss you Bella. I should invite you over during a particularly cloudy season."

"You do that, I look forward to it."

"The sunset made it perfect." She said as she walked to her car. "You two enjoy the rest of your…existence…together." She said, laughing. Then, she got in and drove away.

"Smart girl," Jasper said.

The rest of us agreed.

Edward picked me up bridal style and carried me back into the house and up to his room.

Welcome to your new home, you have one now.

I do, don't I? I looked around the place with new eyes, this was my new home!

Forever has just begun.

I smiled, he was right.

Fin.
