We'll be a Family

C22: Long Awaited Wedding

Standard Disclaimer: I don't own any of the recognizable characters

Bella's POV, Three years later

The first three years had gone by in a blur, almost very literal. Julia and Olivia had grown so much and had turned out to be every bit like their mother, often tripping over rogue air or flat surfaces, which had caused them to always be caught by Rosalie, Jane or Heidi.

The two little blondes, which I was very thankful for I might add, had basically attached themselves to their mates as soon as they were able to walk and talk, but would also come to find me or Rosalie whenever there was something wrong.

Another thing they were was being very talkative, much to the delight of Alice who never let an opportunity to babble with them go to waste.

Two other women they were very close to and always seemed to be wanting to be in the presence of were Esme and Sulpicia, who had quite possibly become the most doting grandmothers in the history of the world, because whenever we couldn't find our two troublemakers, we could always find them in the company of their grandmothers.

But today was finally the day we had lived towards for four years, our wedding day, and now that the girls were old enough, they would make the most adorable flower girls the world had ever seen, Alice had seen to that personally.

I currently was in Jane's room getting prepared by Jane and Heidi, who had graciously applied for the task of making me pretty today while Rosalie underwent the same treatment at the hands of Alice and Victoria.

Esme was going to make sure that our daughters would keep their flower-girl dresses clean, since the two girls were always loathe to disappoint their grandmother, mostly because Esme had weaponized her Mom look over the last few years.

"So Bella, on a scale of one to ten, how excited are you for today?" Heidi asked while she was working on my make-up.

I grinned at her. "I would say an eleven. We have been looking forward to this day for way too long, and now that it is finally here, with our extended family in attendance is everything I could've ever dreamed of. Today is the culmination of the journey Rosalie and I started four years ago and I can't wait to say 'I do' to her."

"I'm sure she is equally excited Bella. A blind man can see that you two are meant to be together, and that the bond you two share is one of the strongest I've ever seen." Jane said with a smile.

I smiled at the blonde, who looked gorgeous in her scarlet dress. "Thank you Jane. That means a lot to me, and I have to say you look adorable in that dress."

She glared at me. "Stop calling me adorable, or I will start calling you Mom."

I laughed lightly at that. "That is a bit early, isn't it? They're not even five yet, and I'm pretty sure Rosalie would have something to say about that as well, and I don't really know how she is going to take that."

"I know, and that's why I would only call you Mom." Jane said with a smirk.

"Fine, I'll stop calling you adorable, but you do look beautiful in that dress." I said with a smile.

She smiled at me. "Thank you sister. I have to admit that I had my doubts when Alice suggested this, since I'm not really one to wear a dress, but I have to say that I really like it."

I smiled at that. "Alice has always had an uncanny ability to find the perfect clothes for anyone, even without her gift. It is one of the things that endeared me to her, because I was her willing Barbie doll."

Heidi smiled at me as looked over her work. "I'm sure neither of you minded those days Bella. It has resulted in your wedding dress after all."

I smiled and nodded at that. "Indeed it has, and I love that I get to wear something so unique for this unique wedding."

The two women smiled at that. "A wedding in our world is unique in its own right. Only the Queens are known to be legally married. Most mated couples don't see the need for it since the bond goes deeper than a regular marriage." Jane said softly.

"I know, but I always knew that some day I would ask Rosalie to be my wife. I'm not a vampire yet, and won't be for a few years, so until that time I wanted something to signify that she is as much mine as I am hers." I said with a soft smile.

"I understand that. You're both beautiful women and some people don't know the meaning of the word 'no' and will continue to push no matter what is said." Heidi said with a smile.

I smiled at that. "Don't I know it. I've had plenty of guys drooling over me just because of the fact that I have big breasts, and I know that Rosalie has plenty of stories of that as well."

Heidi smiled at that. "I can totally understand that. It was not much better in my time either. Thankfully men are relatively stupid creatures and easily distracted."

"Most of them are anyway. I don't think Alec is very easy distracted." I said with a soft smile.

Jane smiled at me. "Alec is one of the most easily distracted men in history. He tries to flirt with Heidi at least once a decade, and keeps trying even though she rebuffs him every time."

"You two are closer friends than everyone thinks aren't you?" I asked softly.

They smiled and nodded. "We are, we've always had someone to talk to in each other, and it was always surprisingly easy for her to talk me down when I was pissed at something, which was quite often come to think about it. I think the fates foresaw us having twin mates and therefor made sure we bonded well." Jane said softly.

I just smiled at them. "You know, I think that too, and not that I want to rush or anything, but I'd rather not start my marriage off with my wife being pissed at me for being late."

"We'll get you ready in time Bella. Vampire speed has its uses you know." Heidi said with a wink.

Rosalie's POV

While Bella was putting the last touches on her mystery dress, I was waiting patiently outside, with Julia propped up on my hip. "You look pretty Momma." She said with a bright smile.

I smiled at her. "Thank you sweetheart. You look very pretty too."

Julia blushed at that. "Where's Mommy?"

"She's with your aunties getting ready sweetie. Mommy and Momma are getting married today." I said with a soft smile.

She looked a bit confused, which I found absolutely adorable in how much she resembled her mother in that moment. "What's married Momma?"

I smiled at her. "When two people love each other very much and they want to show that to the world, they get married. They invite their family for a big party and exchange rings to show how much they love each other."

She smiled at me. "Then I'm going to marry aunt Heidi one day."

I chuckled and pressed a kiss to her cheek, careful not to smudge my make-up too much. Esme would have my hide if I blemished her granddaughter already. "I'm sure she'll say yes to that sweetie."

She giggled at that before settling herself, content to people watch until it was time to start.

It had really surprised me how well our daughters got on with everyone, not just from our family, but everyone in the Volturi as well. Everyone was always very willing to play with them, and they were loved by everyone that had met them. Didyme especially was a favorite because she had a bit of a mischievous streak inside her and taught them some things that would sometimes annoy Esme, even though our mother could never stay mad at our angels, something Bella and I also struggled with.

Both Julia and Olivia had weaponized their adorable looks over the last year and while Sulpicia seemed to be the only one with some sort of tolerance for those looks, and it usually took only a quirked eyebrow from the blonde to get the twins to stop whatever it was they were doing.

When Sulpicia came walking up I couldn't help but smile at our daughter, who started to squirm in my arms. "Do you want to go to Grammy sweetie?"

She nodded and smiled as I set her down, running to her grandmother with her arms spread wide, and of course Sulpicia scooped her up without an issue. "Hello sweetling, are you having fun?"

Julia nodded and smiled at her. "Yes Grammy. Is it almost time for me and Olivia to scatter flowers?"

"Almost sweetie. Only a couple more minutes, so why don't you go and get your sister and get ready. Mommy should come out any second." Sulpicia said with a sweet smile, one she reserved only for them.

"Yes Grammy." She said dutifully before Sulpicia set her down and Julia went in search of her sister.

"So how are you feeling sweetheart. Already feeling the nerves?" Sulpicia asked with a soft smile.

I smiled and shook my head. "Not really mother. Above all else I'm happy that we are doing this today. I've waited so long to call her mine that I still have trouble believing that we're getting married today."

She smiled at me. "I can understand that, it's still a rarity for vampires to get married, since the mating bond usually supersedes that."

"I know, and that's I why I am thankful for you marrying us today. It means the world to us." I said kindly.

"It is my honor to be the one to marry my daughters. Esme and I have always enjoyed a nice wedding and yours is the first we've been able to host in centuries. To be the one to preside it is just the cherry on top for me." Sulpicia said with a soft smile.

I smiled at her as I saw Esme from the corner of my eye with the twins bouncing on their heels next to her, looking absolutely adorable with their little baskets of flower petals at the ready.

Sulpicia noticed too and gave me a smile as she walked to the dais, me not being far behind as I took up my spot at the altar.

The moment I had taken my spot, everyone seemed to take their assigned seats as the wedding march started to play, and I had to restrain myself not looking at Bella as she walked down the aisle on Esme's arm.

"I think it's okay to look Rosalie. I doubt you will want to miss this." Jasper said softly from his spot next to me.

I smiled at him and turned to look at Bella, who looked absolutely radiant in her dress as she started walking towards me, our daughters leading her while scattering their petals everywhere.

She returned the smile I flashed her as she came to stand next to me. "Hey love. You look beautiful."

"So do you baby. Are you ready?" I asked softly.

She nodded and handed her bouquet to Heidi. "Of course I am, nothing on this earth will stop me from marrying you today."

I smiled at her. "Exactly my thoughts baby."

Bella smiled at me as we turned to Sulpicia who merely smiled at us. "My dearest family. We have gathered here today to witness the holy union of Rosalie Lilian and Isabella Marie Volturi. I believe you have prepared your vows for today?"

We both nodded and then turned to each other. "Bella, my love, the first time I saw you, I knew we would someday be here. You ignited something in my heart that I long thought dead. Our experiences may have shaped us, and we'll always be connected by it, but we've come out stronger because of it. I promise to love you forever and be the mother that our daughters deserve."

"Rose, while we didn't start out on the best terms, we've fallen in love quicker than I ever thought possible. When I saw you strut into the cafeteria at school, I knew that I loved you, and I have never been one to believe in love at first sight. But waking up next to you every single day is still the greatest joy in my life, next to our angels of course. What you promised me, I promise to you too, I will be the wife and mother that you and our daughter's deserve." She said softly.

"Those were beautiful vows, but before you two once again lose yourselves in each other's eyes, shall we continue?" Sulpicia asked softly.

We both nodded at her, and I couldn't help but smile at the blush on Bella's cheeks. "Good, because I do believe we are nearing the most important part of this ceremony. Do you Rosalie Lilian Hale take Isabella Marie Volturi as your lawfully wedded wife, for better or worse, in sickness and in health until death do you part?"

I smiled at her. "I do."

Sulpicia smiled and turned to Bella. "Do you Isabella Marie Volturi take Rosalie Lilian Hale as your lawfully wedded wife, for better or worse, in sickness and in health until death do you part?"

"I do." Bella said softly.

She smiled at us. "Then by the power invested in me by the Volturi and the state of California, I pronounce you married. You may kiss the bride."

We wasted no time in giving each other the sweetest kiss under loud applause from the gathered vampires.

Bella's POV

After the first wave of congratulations, Olivia and Julia came running up, and both of us scooped them up in our arms. "Hello sweeties, don't you look absolutely beautiful."

"You look pretty too Mommy." Olivia said sweetly.

I smiled and pressed a kiss to her cheek. "Thank you sweetie, and thank for the flowers, you two did a great job."

The twins smiled at me, but also blushed a little. "Thank you Mommy. We did our best."

We smiled at them. "Shall we go and say hi to auntie Di? I'm sure she has missed you."

They nodded enthusiastically, which is what we expected, because out of all of their aunts, they adored Didyme because she was always willing to satisfy their insatiable curiosity.

We saw Didyme and Marcus standing a bit to the side, talking softly to each other, but both of them smiled at us when we walked up and of course Olivia and Julia started squirming a little when they saw the two ancient vampires had their attention on them, so we set them on the ground, but were surprised to not see them running towards their favorite aunt and uncle, but rather quickly walk up towards them.

The two ancient vampires scooped them up in their arms and pressed a kiss to their cheeks. "Hello my darlings. Don't you both look absolutely gorgeous." Didyme said with a soft smile.

They both blushed at them. "Thank you auntie." They said at the same time.

Didyme smiled at them before turning to us. "Congratulations once again you two. I'm sure you'll have a very happy marriage. How couldn't it be when you've been blessed with angels."

We smiled at them. "Thank you, I'm sure we will. Our angels sure keep us on our feet to the point where we don't have the time to disagree on anything." I said with a wink to Rosalie.

She smiled at me. "Since ninety percent of our day consists of running after our daughters we're too tired to argue."

"Run after these angels, I don't see them being mischievous in the slightest." Marcus said with a smile.

"Oh they definitely are plenty mischievous. They take after me after all. Thankfully they have a grandmother that has weaponized her looks, so they usually behave like perfect angels, but there are times their curiosity gets the better of them." Rosalie said with a soft smile.

Marcus smiled at her. "Curiosity is a good thing Rosalie. It breeds imagination and a full life. We are all naturally curious."

We smiled and nodded. "I don't think they'll ever have to worry about that. With the influences in the family, they'll have all of the opportunity in the world to learn anything and everything they want to."

"You should really visit Volterra again. We have a lot to show them that isn't connected to anything they can't know about yet." Didyme said with a smile.

"Can we Mommy?" Olivia asked with a bright smile.

I smiled at her. "We'll ask Grammy when it's a good time to go. We know how you both don't like the cold, and Italy can get quite chilly at times. Plus auntie Didyme and uncle Marcus live in an old Castle and it's not as warm as our own home."

They pouted a little at that but nodded anyway, knowing full well that Sulpicia would make arrangements for a good time to go to Italy.

"We'll make sure to have a ton of fun activities planned for when you come. I'm sure Olivia and Julia will love it." Didyme said with a soft smile as she swayed a little with Olivia in her arms, the little blonde relaxing in her aunt's arms.

We both smiled at that. "I think we should put you two down for your nap so that you'll be awake enough for dinner later. We have a special surprise for you two."

They both pouted a little but held out their arms to us anyway. "We promise that you can cuddle with auntie Di later, but you wouldn't want Grammy to get cross with you because you are grumpy, would you?" Rosalie asked softly.

"Yes Mommy." Olivia said with a slight yawn.

We smiled and pressed a kiss to their cheek as we carried them inside, which we could also use as an opportunity to change out of our dresses, since they were a bit impractical to wear the entire day.

As we put the girls to bed, I couldn't help but smile as Rosalie wrapped her arms around my waist. "Can you believe it's been three years already baby? It's gone by so fast."

"That it has my love, and now that we're finally married, I truly feel like my life is almost complete." I said with a soft smile.

"Just a couple of years more love. We would want to make sure the girls are somewhat conscious of what's going on. It'll be easier to explain why you can't come out of bed for three days." Rosalie said with a loving smile.

I smiled at her as we made our way to our room. "I know, and the rational part of me agrees with you. The emotional part however says that while I'm still mortal anything can happen at any time. It doesn't even have to be another vampire."

"Is there anything I can do baby?" She asked softly.

I shook my head and kissed her softly. "Not really love, I'll be okay. I know I'm completely safe pretty much all the time. I just hate being physically older than you."

"Babe, you're only twenty-one. It's not that much older than I was when Esme turned me. Let's just enjoy a couple of years of watching our daughters grow and be a married couple. I'll turn you the day of their fifth birthday. I promise." She said softly.

I smiled at her as I started unlacing her dress for her. "I don't care when it happens, I'm just being irrational again. I think it's just emotions getting the best of me again."

Rosalie smiled and pressed a kiss to my neck as she unlaced my dress. "It's okay love. You know I'll always be here for you when you are down."

I smiled and kissed her softly. "I know, and I'll be okay in a couple of hours, but shall we get changed before Mom comes to see if we haven't started our wedding night early?"

She nodded and kissed me before flashing into the closet, while I changed into my cocktail dress for today.

Rosalie's POV

Later that evening, once Olivia and Julia were safely tucked into bed after dinner, Bella and I were prodded towards the dance floor by Esme and Sulpicia. "Now that we've eaten, I think it's time for the brides to have their first dance as a married couple."

We smiled at her and I I flashed Bella a loving wink as I led her onto the dance floor. "Don't worry love. I know dancing is not your favorite past-time, but I won't let you fall."

"I'm okay love. I actually took a few dancing lessons from Heidi, along with another surprise that I can't wait to show you tonight." She said with a seductive smile.

I smiled and kissed her softly as a slow song started, and soon enough we were swaying slowly to the music, completely lost in our own little world. "I love you so much Bella. Thank you for everything you've given me."

"I love you too Rosalie, and I should be thanking you. You've given me a family on multiple levels, and I will always be thankful for that." She said softly.

I smiled at her as I spun her around slowly and into Esme's waiting arms. "Hello sweetie. I hope you will forgive me the faux pas, but I really wanted a mother/daughter dance."

She smiled at Esme as Sulpicia walked up to me. "I know we don't know each other that well, but I would be honored if I could have this dance." The blonde said with a smile.

"You're my mother just as much as Esme is, and I would love to dance with you." I said with a soft smile.

Sulpicia smiled at me as we slowly danced together, something that was repeated with most of the family for both Bella and myself for most of the evening.

As the reception drew to a close and Bella and I were back in our bedroom, she pushed me to the bed. "Like I said when we're changing, I have a special surprise for you tonight, all you need to do is to trust me and allow me a bit of control tonight."

I smiled at her. "Can I at least get undressed. I really want you to see what I picked out for you tonight."

"You can take your dress off, but I want you to leave your lingerie on. I want to take those off myself." She said with an almost predatory grin.

I nodded and quickly took off my dress before laying back down on the bed, intrigued on what my young mate had in store for me on our wedding night.

As she stripped out of her dress my eyes widened a little, a clear shape of a penis standing out against the pale blue thong she was wearing, with the tip peeking out of the top, but what surprised me more was that there was no harness to speak of.

"Surprised love?" She asked as she slowly took off her bra, and I was nearly mesmerized by the way her breasts bounced when freed from their confinement, so I did the only thing I remembered how to do. I nodded.

She smirked and crawled onto the bed. "I'm going to fuck you tonight Rosalie Hale again and again until we are both sated, and if you like it, I've got one for you too, in your favorite color."

I moaned softly as she kissed me and snapped my bra open at the same time. "How did you even get this? I don't remember us ever shopping for toys."

"Like I said, I wanted to surprise you, so I went toy shopping with Heidi, and since I was still a shy girl a couple of months ago, she also told me how to use them, all so I can give you a perfect wedding night." She said with a slight blush.

I smiled at that. "I'm honored that you've gone through so much trouble for me, but I can't help but ask, how does that particular one stay in place?"

Bella smiled at me. "It's basically a double dildo, it's kept in place by the part that is inside of me. I had so much trouble not moaning while we were dancing."

I smiled at her as she started kissing her way down my torso, sucking a nipple between her teeth as she smiled back at me. "I'm glad we managed to convince Mom to improve the soundproofing for all the rooms. I'm going to test the limits tonight."

"Baby, you know there is no one on this earth nu you that can make me scream in ecstasy." I said softly as she slowly peeled the scarlet thong I had chosen down my legs.

"Do you want an appetizer, or did you want to go straight for the main course?" She asked softly.

I smiled at her. "I think we've had enough of an appetizer. I want it all baby. Please fuck me."

She smiled and nearly ripped off her thong before teasing my soaking lower lips with the tip of the dildo, getting it nice and slick before she slid it in, making us both moan loudly.

"Bella baby, we're doing this more often. It feels so amazing having you inside of me." I said with a loud moan as Bella started to get into a rhythm.

She smiled and kissed me softly as she started plowing into me. "I wish I could feel how tight you are with this, it's the only thing that would make this even better, because I'm honestly in heaven right now."

I smiled at her and wrapped my legs around her waist, pulling her into as we lost ourselves to the throes of passion of our wedding night.
