Epilogue: Weddings

EPOV

I'm a nervous wreck! Here I am, pacing the back of the church as I watch all of our family and close friends file one by one into the church. My palms are sweaty and I feel the urge to take my tux off and just walk down the aisle in my tightie-whities, but something tells me that Bella would find this highly inappropriate, along with others, I'm sure.

I watch as I see Alice place flowers up front to add to the atmosphere. Let's just say, Bella and I were right at our graduation, Alice found her calling. She opened up a party/ wedding planning business that has been nothing but successful. She really does have a knack for this kind of thing. The church looks amazing. There is purple and silver everywhere, our color scheme for the wedding. Purple flowers were all over the altar and then there was silver tool draped on the pews on both sides going all the way down the aisle. It truly is breathtaking, even from a guy's point of view.

As I watch Alice work her magic, I notice a young boy, who was also wearing a tux, up front looking just as nervous as I am. His name is Jake and he has a pretty important role in this wedding, so I couldn't blame him for being so nervous. I walk up to him and give him a friendly smile.

"Hey, you look as nervous as I feel," I say to him with a chuckle. I place a hand on his shoulder and squeeze a little in a friendly gesture, "It'll be OK." Jake nods his head, takes a deep breath and smiles nervously.

"Thanks, Edward. I really needed that." I couldn't help the second chuckle that comes out.

"You will do fine, Jake. You both will do fine." I give him a wink and walk towards the back of the church.

3333

A half an hour has passed. Any moment now, my reason for living will be coming through those doors and walking down the aisle. I have never been so nervous in my life. I couldn't help but think all the worst. Will she even show up? I hope I look OK. Crap. I better take a final look. As I'm looking frantically around for something remotely reflective what so ever, I see the love of my life appear out of nowhere. She looks absolutely stunning in her purple dress, her brown hair all in ringlets and hanging loosely over her shoulders. She walks up to me smiling and tears in her eyes. I smile at her and wipe away a traitor tear that happened to fall onto her cheek.

"Edward, she looks beautiful." Bella says to me. I kiss her chastely and give her a smile.

"Well, you know who her mother is, she takes after her." I give Bella a wink and walk her down the aisle to the seat right in the front row. I walk to the back of the church, and start frantically looking once again for something reflective. Just then, I hear someone speak the most wonderful title I've ever been given in life.

"Daddy?"

I turn around and there stood my reason for living, Reneesme. She had on a beautiful white wedding dress that when she turned around was a very beautiful shade of purple and laced up in the back. Her hair was pulled up and all in curls gathered on the top of her head. I couldn't hold back the tears as I look at how beautiful she truly is. I couldn't get over how much she looked like her mother, well, it didn't help that she was wearing Bella's wedding dress from when we got married almost twenty-one wonderful years ago. We found out we were pregnant a month after we got married. Bella decided that she was going to go off birth control and in her words 'if it happens, great, if it doesn't right away, then that's fine too.' Well, a month after our honeymoon, we found out that we were expecting. So yes, you guessed it, we got pregnant probably on our wedding night. I didn't know why but the moment Bella told me she was pregnant, I knew it was going to be a girl and I was OK with that. I wanted a girl. Of course I would have been happy if it went the other way, but I just couldn't shake the feeling that it was a girl. So, you can imagine how excited I was when we found out that my intuition was right. Bella came up with her name because she wanted to incorporate both her mother's name and my mother's name, so that's how Reneesme came to be, or Nessie for short. I hear a small giggle that brings me back to the present and find my daughter standing in front of me waving her hand in front of my face. "Earth to Dad? Where did you go just now?" I smile sadly and take her hands in mine.

"You look absolutely beautiful," I barely got out through the lump in my throat. I clear my throat and start again, "It seems only yesterday I had tears of joy because I had just earned the title of Daddy. Now, I have tears of joy, and maybe just a little sadness, because I get to give my beautiful daughter away..." I stop and point down the aisle to the boy standing nervous as ever at the altar waiting for his bride, "to that incredible boy down the aisle there. You truly have chosen wisely honey. He is everything that I would expect you to have in a future husband. Most important though, he treats you like a princess." I start noticing the tears building in her eyes, "Oh sweetpea, don't cry. You are going to ruin your makeup." She giggles and kisses my cheek.

"Don't worry Daddy. It's waterproof." She gives me a wink.

During the whole time we are having our moment, the bridal party is walking down the aisle one by one. Then the flower girl and ring bearer leave, which just happened to be Emmett and Heidi's children. Yes...Emmett found himself a very sweet young lady later in life, named Heidi, that just swept him off his feet and he never looked back. Their love produced twins, Emmett Jr., or as we like to call him Emmy, and then little Grace. They are three and just stinking adorable. Finally, we hear the wedding march start. I look over at Nessie.

"You ready to do this? You still got an out, door is right behind us?" I get a punch in the arm for that comment.

"I think poor Jake has waited around long enough," she takes the arm I offer her. "Let's do this." She starts acting like she is going to run out the back door and looks at me as my eyes bug out of my head. She just laughs. "Gotcha!" I throw my hand to my chest. Just like her mother. I shook my head and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good God! Don't do that to your old man. I'm not as young as I was once, ya know."

Just then, the doors open up and I walk her down the aisle to her future, and the love of her life. The look on Jake's face as he watches his bride was amazing. It was as if there was nobody else but her in that room. He looks at her like I did, and still do, at Bella. That's when I knew that these two were going to make it. When we reach Jake, I place Nessie's hand in his, I lift up her veil and place a kiss on her cheek.

"I love you sweetpea." I've called her sweetpea since she was a baby. She loved it, and still doesn't mind her nickname after all these years. Nessie tears up and gives me a huge smile.

"I love you too, Daddy." I look over at Jake and give him the 'two finger point at eyes and point at Jake' move that Charlie did on me years ago when I first started dating Bella. It was an inside joke between Jake and I which basically means 'I'm watching you and you better take care of her' look which always got Jake to laugh. He shook with laughter and nodded his head.

"No worries, Edward. I plan on taking care of her for the rest of our lives together."

"Good. As it should be. Enjoy your new lives together," and with that I take my seat with Bella. She smiles and gives me a kiss and I lean over to her.

"You weren't kidding. She looks beautiful," I look Bella in the eye, "just like her mother." Bella blushes. Yes, after all these years together, she still blushes. It's what I love most about her.

The ceremony itself was nice. When things wrap up, that's when the fun part starts... pictures. We got some great shots of everybody in the wedding party then of the family itself. Then Nessie wanted some pictures of her and her Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper and then their daughter, Mary, who happened to be the maid of honor for Nessie. Jasper and Alice got married the same year Bella and I did because they found out they were expecting Mary. So...a month after Bella and I got married, Alice threw a wedding for herself. Nessie and Mary have been very close over the years, which was really nice because Bella and I tried and tried to give Nessie a sister or brother, but were never successful. Mary was pretty much her twin in every way, she just happened to have a different mother.

After the pictures were taken at the church, it was time to go to the reception site where more pictures were going to be taken of the wedding party, then of course the party itself. Bella and I walk into the reception area and find our table. Then we walk around and mingle with all the guests as we wait for the wedding party. Jasper was the DJ for the event since he has his own DJ business and works alongside Alice. You call Alice to do a party of some sort, and then you get Jasper as your DJ for the night. Simple as that and it works out great for the two of them.

About fifteen minutes after Bella and I arrive, Jasper starts up the music and starts announcing the wedding party. They all walk in, arm and arm, with big smiles on their faces. Some danced their way into the room, one couple just walked casually to the music. Then comes the big moment. Jasper smiles and starts announcing again.

"Ladies and gentleman. It is my honor to introduce you to the reason we are all here today. Please give a nice warm welcome to Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Black!" The whole room goes nuts, including Bella and I, as the newly wed couple dance their way into the room, looking as happy as ever. They join the rest of the wedding party on the dance floor where Nessie and Jake get to have their first dance as husband and wife to the song Eclipse (All Yours) by Metric. I look over to Bella and take her hand with a smile.

"You're remembering this song aren't you?" Bella asks with a bright smile. I nod my head.

"I am. It seems like it was only yesterday. This was the first song we not only danced to, but where I told you I love you for the first time. It sits pretty high on my the-best-things-that-ever-happened-to-me list."

"Oh. So, there's a list is there?" I gasp and fake being hurt.

"Of course there's a list." It gets a giggle out of her.

"So, what's the number one best thing that ever happened to you then?" I chuckle.

"Well, it's a three way tie between you saying yes when I asked you to marry me, you actually marrying me, and the day you told me I was going to be a dad." I take Bella into my arms and watch our daughter as she dances with her new husband, "This day ranks pretty high too. Mainly because that boy looks at our daughter like I still look at you today. That makes me the happiest daddy around because I know she will be taken care of."

"You are so right," Bella says as she leans into me.

After their first dance together, we all dig into the food that's being set up. It was a buffet style set up, which if you ask me, is the best way to do a dinner for anything! There was ziti and meatballs, chicken, roast beef, green and baked beans, mashed potatoes and the list went on. The food was delicious.

Afterward, Jasper gets the party started by playing some good ol' dancing music. With the Cullen family, when we hear music, you bet there are going to be people dancing. So of course, I bring Bella up to the dance floor and we dance our little hearts out and have a great time. About an hour goes by and Nessie and Jake go up to the DJ station and Jasper hands her his mic. She tests out the mic and starts to speak.

"First of all, thank you all for coming and sharing our special day. There are just a few people that I need to thank. First, we would like to thank my Aunt Alice for making our wedding day the most beautiful wedding ever. To my Uncle Jasper for providing us with the most awesome dance music. But most of all, a huge thank you needs to go out to my parents. They have taught me and showed me what love was all my life. I never once doubted whether I was loved growing up. Plus, watching them over the years, I vowed at the age of five that when I grew up, I wanted to have the fairy tale love story that they have." Nessie stops and looks over to Jake and takes his hand, "I know that I have found it in you, Jake. I'm looking forward to the rest of our lives together." She leans over and kisses him quick and then turns back to the guests, "Getting back to my parents, out of all the books that I could have had my parents read to me, I always would chose to hear about their love story. Even though I knew their story by heart, I always loved hearing how they met, having their first kiss, and that homecoming dance when my dad told my mom that he loved her for the first time. Their story was just so romantic and I couldn't help myself but want to hear it over and over again. It was a real life fairy tale that ends with a happily ever after every time. Well, after the sad part that is when they were separated for a month. But, there was a song my dad sang to my mom that changed their lives forever that day. So, with that..." Nessie stops and looks out into the crowd, "Daddy, it's time for our dance." I walk up to the dance floor and take my daughter in my arms in the dancing position, and then I hear a song that has been near and dear to mine and Bella's heart, ever since that day that I sang it to her to bring her back to me. I Need You Tonight by The Backstreet Boys. As we dance, I feel that familiar lump building in my throat and that familiar prickling feeling in my eyes.

"I love you sweetpea," I whisper to her.

"I love you too, Daddy. I had to play this song for our dance because if it wasn't for this song, I wouldn't be here." I smile and nod my head.

"It was a perfect choice, Nessie. Thank you."

"You're welcome. Just think, in twenty-one years or so, Jake and I might be in your shoes." I kiss the top of her head and chuckle.

"Well, if you're anything like your mother, that could happen. It only took our wedding night to conceive you." Nessie bites her lip, one of her mother's habits she picked up on, and just looks at me. I pull back a bit to look her in the eye and I raise an eyebrow at her.

"Are you trying to tell me something?"

"Daddy, I'm pregnant." My mouth drops open and I stop moving to the music.

"How?...when?...how far along?" Nessie giggles.

"Well, I'm pretty sure you know how it happened since you were the one to give me the birds and the bees talk, but as far as when and how far along, well...I'm a couple months along now." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was shocked yes, but I couldn't be mad. She is a married woman now. I was nothing but happy for both her and Jake. I took her into my arms and gave her a big hug.

"Congratulations sweeetpea. You are going to be a great mother and Jake will make an excellent daddy as well."

"Thank you, Daddy. I was worried that you were going to be mad."

"Nessie, how could I be mad? You're married now. Yes, you may have gotten pregnant before you got married, but honestly how can I be mad? I'm going to be a Grandpa. That's the second most awesome role in life that I've been looking forward too." Just then our song ends. We hug once more and go our separate ways, so Nessie could go mingle some more with her new husband.

I sit back down next to Bella with the biggest smile on my face.

"Wow. We've raised quite a young woman there haven't we, Mr. Cullen?" I chuckle.

"That we have Grandma Cullen, that we have." She leans up against me then suddenly realizes what I just called her and looks at me with an eyebrow raised.

"Wait, what did you just call me?" I just smile at her.

"Congratulations Bella dear, we are going to be grandparents. Nessie is two months along now."

Watching Bella practically jump up and down in her seat, I knew that we were going to be entering a new chapter in our lives. The part where not only we get to be grandparents, but we are officially going to grow old together, sipping iced tea on our back porch of our house. The house that we have been in for the past twenty-one years that sits in the middle of our meadow. And I'm OK with this. I know that there isn't anywhere else I would rather be than with the love of my life. My Bella.

And they lived happily ever after. The End!

A/N Wow...I did tear up a couple of times writing this, but that was mainly for some father/daughter moments...lol. Anywho...well folks. There ya have it. Scarred is officially done. **sigh** So...I know I left a few holes in this story, so that's why I figured that I would give you guys the opportunity to tell me what you would like to see as outtake. Whatever happens to be the most popular vote, I will write that outtake. I have one, maybe two already in mind, but I will wait and see what you guys say. So tell me in your review what you would like to see. And speaking of reviews...reviews are like having your very own HEA with Edward. So review review review! And once again...thanks for sticking along for the journey. My, what a journey this has been. And for that, I thank you all. 3

PS. I totally did finally cry when I was doing the editing for this...lol. I knew it would hit me at some point.
