A Classy Vegas Wedding
(Billy POV)
"We are going to have grandchildren," I smiled at Sue. She laughed.
"You are so excited about this whole thing!" she said.
"I can't help it! It's about time those two found someone, and who would have guess it would be each other," I smiled at the TV.
"That's nice, Billy," Sue shook her head.
"Hey, Billy?" Seth rattled on the door.
"Come in, Seth," I called. Seth opened the door and walked in.
"Oh, hi Mom," he said to Sue. She smiled at him.
"What's up, Seth?" I asked.
"Sam's looking for Jake and Leah, they're meant to be on patrol," Seth said. I exchanged a look with Sue. Had they begun skipping patrol to be with each other? This was serious.
"He went up to Seattle with Leah," Sue said. Seth look confused.
"Together? Which one will come out alive?" he joked.
"Now, Seth, this may be more serious than that," I said lightly and he shrugged.
"Whatever. They are going to be in deep with Sam when they get back," Seth laughed.
"I don't think so," Sue argued. Seth shook his head.
"Trust me, Mom, there is no excuse," Seth said.
"Look alive, people!" Jacob's voice boomed from the front door.
"Oh, they're home," Sue smiled. Jacob and Leah ran into the house, laughing. I could smell the alcohol.
"Jacob William Black, are you drunk?" I said darkly. Imprinting was no excuse to get drunk, especially my son in my own household.
"No, I am not," said Jacob, looking hurt.
"Leah…" Sue sounded livid.
"Mom! We had a drink!" Leah rolled her eyes.
"Sam's looking for you. You're late for patrol," Seth said.
"Well, sucks to be him, doesn't it? We're going to Vegas!" Jacob cheered.
"Any particular reason, or just for kicks?" I asked.
"Ok, this is a lot more complicated than I thought," Jacob frowned.
"We're getting married, and Vegas is the fastest way!" Leah said cheerily.
"You guys are getting married? As a joke?" Seth asked.
"We were going to wait a while, but we figured, what the hell?" Jacob shrugged.
"You were already planning this?" Seth asked.
"Only since this morning," Jacob said.
"Hey, can I come in?" Charlie was at the door.
"Sure," I said and he walked in.
"We're getting married," Leah declared to Charlie, "And you're coming!"
"Thanks," said Charlie.
"Come on, we're going right now," said Jacob, grabbing my chair.
"As in, right now?" I asked.
"We'll pick up stuff on the way," Jacob replied and we went outside.
"To Las Vegas!" Leah cheered as everyone climbed into the car.
"Hey, Jake, Leah, Sam's looking for you-" Embry came around the corner of my house.
"Shut up, man, your killing the love!" Jacob yelled as we drove off. Embry looked surprised, but accepted this as Jacob.

(Bella POV)
"Can I call Charlie?" I asked Edward.
"If you promise to sound sick," he said. I smiled and grabbed Emmett's mobile. We were using that as the 'hospital' phone. I dialled my old home phone number eagerly. It rang until it got message bank.
"Sorry, I'm out. Leave a message after the tone," Charlie's voice told me.
I frowned. Huh. I tried his mobile.
"Hello?" Charlie sounded like he was surrounded by talking people.
"Hi, Dad," I said in my best sick voice.
"Hey Bells. How you feeling?" he asked. I looked at Edward, who shook his head.
"Not too good," I said, "Where are you?"
"Las Vegas," he said.
"Las Vegas?" I was shocked. What was Charlie doing in Las Vegas? Even Edward looked interested. I opened my mind so he could hear me.
"Yeah," Charlie sounded happy.
"What are you doing in Las Vegas, Dad?" I asked.
"Billy invited me up for the wedding," Charlie replied.
"What wedding?" I asked.
"Leah and Jake's wedding," Charlie said.
"Leah and Jake?" I echoed. Edward started laughing.
"Yeah. Listen Bells, I have to go take some pictures of the wedding. It really is beautiful. You and the girls would love it," Charlie sounded blissful "I will call you back, all right?"
"All right Dad. Bye," I said.
"Bye Bella. Get well soon!"
The phone line cut dead.
"So, Jacob and Leah are getting married. Sounds fun," Edward sounded amused. I rolled my eyes.
"Sounds like Hell on Earth."
