So I've decided to add some steamy scenes but it will be in its own separate chapter labeled as such therefore eyes who do not want to see it won't be missing anything important to the plot, and those who want to read more action can. Thank you for those who let me know what you wanted! I appreciate it.

The wedding planning had started as soon as Alice said yes. While Alice declared she wanted a small wedding she still wanted a nice ceremony. Rosaline took this opportunity to try and get to know her new sibling. Moreover, Hermione was forcing her to "bond". Rosaline sighed and sucked it up and went to bond. It wasn't that she wasn't excited to add to the Cullens, it's just that she was the only girl in the siblings so she frequently got doted on and was worried that would all go away. She felt a bit jealous, something she hadn't felt in years. In fact, one of the last times she felt it was when she watched her best friend and her baby play, wanting that love and maternal side. She shook her head. Thinking of that didn't make this go faster. She gritted her perfect white teeth and focused on the task again.

Alice had been staring at her watching their relationship dynamic come in flashes. She had no worries because she knew she would win her over talking about fashion and the wedding details as long as she made her bridesmaid throw off her jealousy.

"I don't have a wedding dress. I don't know where to find one even. Is there a shop nearby?" Alice lamented, being a little more dramatic than even she thought was necessary.

"There is one in the main town, about 50 miles away," Rosaline responded. She thought about what Hermione said about family. "Family is everything, we love them, we get frustrated at them, we get hurt by them or they hurt us but we still we laugh and cry with them." Guiltily it worked as she thought of Hermione's tough decisions to give up her family for the cause. Rosaline adjusted her pose with a flick of her honey gold hair. "I can have Emmet take us. I think he said he wanted to catch a movie with Dad anyway. Mom said she wanted to stop by the shops as well so she can come. Do you want Jasper to see the dress?"

Alice thought about it but seeing his joy when she walked down the aisle made her say "no." Edward came down the stairs. "How are you lovely ladies doing?"

Rosaline and Alice smiled and both replied "Great. We are going shopping."

Edward didn't need to be reminded of the dread of shopping with Rosaline so he opted out. "I think I'll just hang out with Jasper, maybe go hunting. Although if Mom is stopping by the store tell her we are out of Rabbit and Buffalo pops."

Alice nodded. But Rosaline frowned. "No Eddie. We aren't going to that type of shopping. We are going to dress shopping. For the wedding remember? Maybe you can figure out how to decorate while we are gone."

Edward nodded and said he'd ask Jasper if he wanted anything in the wedding for him.

Off they went, Emmet at the wheel, Carlisle in the passenger upfront and Hermione with Alice and Rosaline squished in the back. Hermione made a mental note to do it the wizarding way on the way back. It was going to take too long if they all went back shopping and drove back. She might just Appreciate the whole company by shrinking the car and having everyone hold on tight.

"Alice love, what did you think you wanted for the wedding gown?" Hermione inquired. "I'm not entirely sure I don't think I want a ball gown but I think above the ankle would look pretty and a long veil." Alice mused about.

Emmet chimed in "If it's anything like Rosaline and me, Jasper won't care what you wear as long as he gets to marry you." That put a beautiful smile on Rosaline's face. "It's true as long as he gets to see you it will be perfect." Hermione smiled and looked at Carlisle. "I think this will be grand." Carlisle looked back at her and turned so he could grab her hand. "I think so too."

They made it with time to spare with Emmett's speeding. Alice, Rosaline, and Hermione smiled as they parted ways with the males and went into the shop.

The woman who greeted them was in awe of such beautiful women walking into her store. Hermione spoke up to the woman who was still gaping. "We are here for a wedding dress for my daughter. She is getting married soon and isn't sure what she wants yet."

"We have so many different styles for the bride to be to choose from." Said the woman.

Alice was led around the shop while her family looked around for dresses. The short more modern look with a sweetheart neckline, a small waist, and a full shirt with short sleeves was the rage. A similar veil and white heels with elbow long gloves were the accessories. But Alice declined that one. Hermione chose a ball gown with lace at the top of the dress at the top and long lace veil with white heels. Alice twirled in it and felt like a princess. She smiled at it as it was a lovely dress. But it wasn't the dress she saw in the future for her wedding day. Rosaline spotted a dress and instantly thought it would look good on Alice. She pulled it and told the storekeeper to help Alice into it. It was a similar dress to the ballgown but it was a bit shorter with her mid-shin exposed and so much tulle under the skirt. It accentuated her small waist but also gave her the ballerina look. The top was a short sleeve with a simple round neckline without it being collared. The heels were very simple with the coloring of white. The dress came with smaller gloves to the wrist and a small clutch.

Alice turned to the mirror. "This is it. This is the dress. I'm going to be Mrs. Hale." Hermione and Rosaline smiled at her. They shared the bonded moment of being there to find the dress, especially Rosaline who picked it. It marked the official start of their great relationship. They bought the dress and its accessories. Once the girls were out of the way they went for a celebratory walk while waiting for the men to be done with their movie. It had turned to the early evening by the time the movie was done and Hermione was ready to go home. She discreetly shrunk the car with a simple notice me not charm and had the family walk into an alley. With the dress and car safely in her small bag, she turned to her family. "You must hold on extremely tight. I can appreciate us all to the house but I don't want to splinter any of you because explaining why there is half of an arm is no fun. It will feel like a squeeze into a tube for a hot second then we will be home. Ready on the count of three." The family squeezed each other tight. No one had appreciated before except Carlisle. "One. Two. Three." With a pop, everyone disappeared and reappeared in the backyard. Hermione unshrunk the car and dress. The rest of the family was heavily breathing even though it wasn't necessary. She smiled sympathetically and explained that it isn't super pleasant but she preferred it over flying. Carlisle who wasn't as affected helped Hermione grab the dress and accessories.

Emmet was relieved it was over but like a rollercoaster wanted to do it again. Rosaline preferred cars but did appreciate the cut in time. Alice was just overjoyed with getting her wedding dress and still managed to feel excited and overwhelmed which Jasper was trying to push calmness to her from in the house.

They all went into the house and noticed a wall of potential decorations that Edward and Jasper had thought up. "Busy night for everyone I guess." Hermione grinned and went to work for dinner.

Sitting down at dinner all of the family members felt more comfortable than they had earlier with the joining of the new siblings. Hermione and Carlisle looked at each other knowingly. Their happy family was complete for now.

Rosaline and Emmet went off to go cuddle in bed and Alice and Edward were off bonding about their special abilities. Jasper was feeling much calmer about their new reality. He went up to Hermione while Carlisle and she were sitting on the love couch. "Thank you. I know you didn't have to accept us and you did so thank you. You welcomed us in as if we were your own and I never expected that but my Alice was sure this would happen. I doubted her lightly even as you said yes to us becoming part of the family. But she hasn't driven me wrong yet."

"Hermione and I, we knew as soon as we opened the doors we would let you into our home and our hearts," Carlisle answered simply.

Hermione took Jasper's hand "I already knew from the moment I saw you in the diner we would be family. I'm so glad you came. It takes courage, ambition, smarts, resilience, love, empathy and a bit of luck to come to us. If I was the sorting hat, I am not sure where you would go because you have so many qualities that I deem admirable. We are so proud to call you our son and Alice our daughter. We are so glad you accepted us. It is not easy nor will it ever be easy to strike out on your own and feel lost. But the moment when you feel safe and happy it is joyous to the point where you don't know how to emote anymore. So we are glad you get to have that feeling with us."

If Jasper could cry he would be. Hermione's eyes shined with unshed tears. Carlisle pulled her closer and kissed her forehead in support. Even though she said it at the quieter volume she knew those in the house heard. Rosaline and Emmet had heard her speak up in their room leaning on each other in bed. They felt a warmth wash over them as her speech sunk in. Alice heard as she was hanging her wedding dress up. She too felt the kindness and sincerity of those words being spoken. Edward, who had been looking at what the bride was going to wear, heard what she was telling Jasper. He felt overwhelmed with love and pride for his parents. And Jasper felt as if the whole world was lifted from his shoulders that he didn't even know he was carrying.

That night everyone was a bit more reflective of how caring their mother was. Carlisle went upstairs with her and let her fall asleep in his arm. "She is one of a kind and I hope she never wants to leave me. I love her." One of the last thoughts he had watching her breathing even out.
