Alice:
Oh boy. This was not what we needed right now. This was not what Edward, and Bella, and especially not what I needed right now.
Honestly! How was I supposed to plan a wedding with these kinds of surprises?! I wasn't even sure who I was planning the wedding for any more!
For the past 3 hours since Edward had made Anna leave he had been trying to figure it out. His mind flashed wildly back and forth. One second he was marrying Bella. The next he was saying "I do" to Anna. He was trying to decide between love and duty, and trying to figure out how to choose without hurting someone.
Edward, I called with my thoughts, that will never work. Someone has to be hurt. Bella had to make her decision between to good men. Now it's your turn. It will work out either way. Personally, I vote Bella though; Anna acts too much like Rosalie.
Jasper:
I was very glad that Anna and Bella were gone. Females were hard enough to live with when you didn't have to feel every emotion of the cat fight taking place in your living room! Whew! That's more than a man should have to take.
Of course Edward wasn't much better. Guilt. Love. Loyalty. Confusion. Desperation. Fear. Terror. Regret. Over and over. It was going to make me crazy!
Then there was the rest of the family too. Alice was frustrated and angry. Carlisle and Esme were paternally sympathetic. Rosalie was jealous (surprise, surprise). Emmett was confused and anxious and angry.
Edward, you had better make up your mind soon!
Esme:
My poor son! To be put in such a position! He was always so sensitive to others, always trying to be kind. This was going to be hard on him either way. I loved Bella like a daughter already, but Edward needed to make his own choice. It was the only way.
I'm so sorry, Edward. It will all be fine. It will work out, some how.
Carlisle:
I sighed. There was no way that this was going to end well. It just couldn't. I knew Edward well. I knew well enough to be confident in my son, and to know that he would not be confident in himself. I was also worried about how this would affect him.
Trust yourself. I know that you'll do the right thing, no matter what.
Rosalie:
I glared at the wall. Poor Edward. Poor little lonely Edward. And now he had two women fighting to marry him! Oh yes, he had to be so lonely.
Neither of them were even that pretty! Not nearly as pretty as me. I fluffed my long blond hair. I loved Emmett. But Emmett had never chosen me over another woman. Of course he would. Anybody would. Anybody accept Edward, that is. Well, his loss.
Everyone was fusing over poor Edward's dilemma. He had to choose who he was going to marry. It must be so hard to have so many choices. Poor Edward.
Boo hoo. Make up you mind.
Emmett:
I couldn't believe it! Was Edward actually thinking about this?! Did I need to beat some sense into him?!
I was going to have to if he didn't choose right. There was no way that Bella wasn't going join our family! If I had forge signatures on a wedding certificate I would. One way or another Bella was going to be my sister. And this Anna could go to . . . well the devil; or the Voltri, there wasn't all that much difference.
Edward, there is no choice! Just marry Bella already! I think she's earned a wedding after putting up with you and all your crap. If you try to marry that Anna, I'll kill you both and then force you to marry Bella! You can not seriously be thinking about this! What is wrong with you any way?!
Edward:
My family was less than no help.
