Isabella Marie Cullen
(Tess POV)
Her big day.
I was watching Alice as she did Bella's makeup. She was going on and on about how Bella hadn't gotten enough beauty sleep. Bella had told her several times already that she had had a bad dream, but Alice goodheartedly kept rambling.
Rosalie came in and offered to do Bella's hair. We were all surprised at her, but Alice had just finished Bella's makeup, so it would give her a little extra time to do mine.
She put my hair in a braided up-do, with little strands hanging in front of my ears. It looked kind of similar to Bella's hair, but significantly different in the same.
Surprisingly, she only put a little bit of eyeshadow and light lip gloss on me for my makeup.
Renee and Phil showed up. I was really happy to see them.
Phil was getting their seats, so only Renee and Charlie actually came up to the room.
"You girls look so... perfect!" Renee squealed, tearing up, "Crap, my mascara..."
Alice whipped out a handkerchief and handed it to Renee.
"Thanks."
A little conversation ensued as Charlie entered the room. They gave Bella a sapphire headpiece to go on her veil.
. . .
The wedding was probably one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen. The veil, the dress, the area... the actual ceremony. It was all... so... beautiful.
Emmett had given a kind of perverted speech, and since only the Cullens, Bella, the Quileutes, and me knew that they were vampires, it made Edward sound like some sex-crazed maniac.
A little bit into the reception, Jake pulled him aside and told him. All Emmett did was laugh.
. . .
Jacob swept me up as soon as Charlie and Bella started dancing.
I took my shoes off as he took me to the little dance area and put his hands on my hips, and I wrapped my arms around his neck and we started dancing.
We danced for a little while until the song stopped. Then, Jacob took me to a more secluded spot as another slow song started.
We danced for a little while before I rested my head and started speaking.
"I'm worried about Bella..." I sighed.
"Hm? Why?"
"Because... I'm worried that... that they're going to turn her... I know she wants to be turned, but..."
"Well... It's against the treaty, so... if that's any consolation..."
"But, what if... what if she gets sick, or is dying, and she has to be turned? You wouldn't know circumstances – plus, they wouldn't be here, so... doesn't the treaty not apply?"
"I... don't know... I'm just worried about the story they'll make up..."
I shook my head as he lifted me up into the air, my bare feet dangling. I took out all the hairties in my hair as he set me down and let my wavy hair fall to my shoulders.
"I like it better when your hair's down..." Jake whispered.
"Me too, but Alice insisted I wear it up, and... you can't really argue with her..."
"Heh, yeah..."
. . .
Bella and Edward were leaving for the airport, running down the little walkway, as everyone threw rice and kissed their partners.
Jake turned to me and kissed me a few seconds before Edward and Bella passed us.
We parted as everyone started cheering. Bella and Edward had gotten into their car and started driving away, with Bella waving to us all.
I smiled, hoping that nothing bad would happen on their honeymoon.
. . .
A little more than three weeks later, I was at Emily's house, waiting for the pack to get there, when we heard the hum of a motorcycle outside.
"What's that?" I asked, getting up with a start and running over to the door.
Jacob was running up the porch steps, in a grey shirt, towards where I was standing.
He opened the door and almost knocked me over, but he caught me before I fell.
"We – You – You have to come with me!" He exclaimed, grabbing my hand and pulling me outside.
"What's going on, Jake?!"
"Quil was off-duty, right?" Jake said hurriedly, handing me a helmet, "Well, he phased and told me that your dad was at my house, really sad and confuse about something concerning Bella... So, I came to get you." He sat down on the bike, "Get on."
I sat down behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist.
. . .
"Uh, hey, dad..." I said, walking into the house, "What's going on?"
"Bella just called..." He said somberly, "She's sick... caught a bug or something. Can't come home yet."
Sick.
Sick?
SICK?! They seriously expect us to believe that?!
"Sick..." I repeated out loud, nodding and starting to pant, "Sick."
"Tessa..." Jacob warned, coming up behind me.
I turned, shoving him to the side, and stormed out of the house.
I jumped onto the motorcycle, not bothering with the helmet.
I was about to start it when Jacob came running out. "Tessa, wait!" He yelled.
"NO, Jake!" I screamed. I started the motorcycle and drove away before he could get on, my black sweatshirt whipping around my figure as the wind blasted at my face.
They've changed her.
Or she's dead.
Or worse, they've changed her and she doesn't remember anything from her human life!
HOW IS THAT WORSE?!
Cuz, she'd still be here, we'd still remember her, but SHE won't know US.
Okay, maybe that's worse... But hey, let's calm down... she could actually be sick.
Doubt it.
Or, she could've gotten really sick, gone back to the Cullen's house to get medical help, and now she's in treatment there!
I don't give a shit, WE ARE GOING TO FIND OUT WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON.
Okay, Jeez-us...
. . .
I arrived at the Cullen's house and jumped off the bike, sprinting up the porch steps.
Carlisle was opening the door by the time I got to it. "Tessa..." He greeted.
"Carlisle, I don't mean to be rude, but your bullshit story was practically transparent. Now, where the fuck is my sister?!"
"Tess?" I heard Bella's voice call out my name.
"She's here?!" I screamed, pushing him to the side and running up the stairs into the lounge.
Rosalie stepped in front of me as I ran into the room. Emmett was in the corner, Edward by the door, and Alice and Jasper behind a sofa across from Emmett.
"Back. Off. B– " I started, but a sudden wave of calm washed over me as Carlisle walked into the room. But the wave didn't last. "Jasper..." I growled, glaring at him. But then I remembered something.
"Rosalie, gra– " Edward exclaimed, stepping away from his place at the wall.
But I had already turned invisible.
Everyone – save Alice and Bella – gasped.
"What the hell?"
"How does a human have a gift?"
"What just happened?"
I had slipped past Rosalie and was now standing in the middle of the room, in an attack stance, when I turned back to visibility.
"Tessa!" Jacob yelled, running into the room with no shirt on. He had obviously chased after me, phased. He pushed past Rosalie and embraced me, calming me down significantly.
"How do you do that?" Jasper asked, "Even my ability didn't help, but you..."
"It's an imprint thing..." Jake replied, still holding me in his arms.
"Wha– "
"More importantly," Rosalie said, "How the hell is a human gifted?!"
"I don't know... but according to my mom I've had it since I was at least four months old..." I explained.
"And imprinting is what happens when a werewolf sees his soulmate after phasing for the first time." Jacob added.
"Wait," Rosalie asked as Jake and I pulled away, "So, if you guys get married... we'll technically be related to a... werewolf?"
"Uh, yeah..." I said, glaring at her, "You got a problem with that? Because I didn't have a problem with being related to vampires!"
She scoffed and turned, walking over to Emmett.
"Anyway," I said, turning to look at Bella, "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"What?" She asked, oblivious.
"You called Charlie. Told him you were sick, and couldn't come home. Do you know how broken up he is over that?"
She looked down. Pushing her blanket off of her, she asked, "Rosalie, help me up?"
I actually saw Rosalie's face soften as she walked over to Bella. Once she was up, Bella pulled her shirt over her belly.
Which. Was. HUGE.
She looked at least seven – if not eight – months pregnant.
"Y-y-you're... pregnant?!" I exclaimed, "But you haven't – I mean, you weren't pregnant at your wedding, were you?"
"No I wasn't... I'm actually only three weeks pregnant..."
"Then – "
"Because it's Edward's, and, you know, he's a vampire," Bella explained, "He grows unnaturally fast..."
I blinked several times, registering the news.
She's pregnant.
But – she – three weeks?!
That's what she said...
My vision blurred as I fell back, collapsing into Jacob's arms, as I passed out.
A/N: Okay! Woo! Done! I am super. Fucking. Busy, right now, so this was really hard to write without messing something up, so... yeah.
Next chapter... I was going to say something here, but... STUFF WILL HAPPEN, so... look forward to it! I'm going to have to write a shit ton, because I'm so fucking busy, and literally all my free time will be taken up writing this, so... yeah.
Just so you know, I am going to be taking the next few days off, so I can write, because the chapters on here have actually been catching up to the chapters in my book, but I promise that I'm going to upload on Tuesday, ok?
But, yeah... I've just been super busy, with working out, school, accidental procrastination, etc... so yeah!
