CHAPTER 3

Rosalie suddenly broke down as Emmett jumped over to her to pull her into a protective hug. Growls had erupted all over the room and as I looked over to Jacqui, I noticed her face was slightly saddened. I slid my hand down Edward's arm and he turned up to look at me. I nodded slightly in her direction.

"She's okay, just a bit...it's hard to explain. Sorry, I suppose. She keeps scolding herself silently," he whispered in my ear.

"Alright." I didn't ask anything more.

Emmett was pulling Rose out of the room, brushing his hands in her hair soothingly. "C'mon. Let's go t our room," he said quietly.

Jacqui stood up. "Sorry, I-I'm really sorry. I just...sorry." She sat back down.

It was silent again. Edward's hold on my tightened once again and he kissed my cheek. I smiled and absentmindedly began to play with Elizabeth Masen's ring which was settled on my finger nicely. I had grown to enjoy wearing the ring; especially knowing that it made Edward happy.

"So," Jacqui breathed, "does anyone else want to go?" A small smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

Carlisle put his hand up. "Sure, and Esme would like to know as well, but she had to duck out somewhere quickly. If that's okay, of course."

Esme went out? But she was standing right near Alice. I turned around to check and – as Carlisle had said – she wasn't there. Another thing I will need to ask Edward about.

"Carlisle when I saw you, I saw a dark basement of some kind. It isn't pretty. And it looks like there are sacks too. You look like you're in pain but you aren't showing it very much; no noise just your face crumpled up. And that's about it."

"Ah, my change," Carlisle mused. "Fascinating. Thank you."

Once again, Jacqui smiled but it didn't leave; she stayed with a grin spread across her beautiful face. "Your wife; well, I saw something odd. It didn't seem real. I saw her jumping...off a cliff? And then she was found seriously injured, they thought she was dead. But then I see your face, Carlisle. It was weird, yet still very interesting. I didn't think it was real. Was it?"

"Very much so. Sadly, my wife tried to kill herself. But I have to admit, if she didn't, I would never have found her. It was a terrible thing that led to me finding the love of my life."

"How sweet," Jacqui added. I sensed that she was a very warm and loving person; she always seemed to have a smile on her face and she seemed so kind-hearted. "Okay," she continued, "who next?"

Edward pulled his face away from my hair and spoke. "Bella and I will go next."

Jacqui's eyes lit up with excitement. I wondered why something so little as telling us what she saw would get her excited. I wanted to ask what she was so gleeful about, but she began talking before I got the chance.

"Cool. Well your histor...ies were very...different. I guess you could almost say weird. It has never happened before," – I thought I heard a snort coming from somewhere in the room; but then again – "just wait for it."

I nodded, slowly pushing myself off of Edward in anticipation. Thankfully, his arms kept me close to him because I know that I would have regretted it the second I pulled away completely. He always seemed upset when I didn't stay in his arms; I wish he could read my mind so that he knows I never actually want to leave him.

"C'mon! The suspense is almost killing me!" I blurted out accidently. Edward chuckled a little underneath me and brushed my hair out of my face.

"Sorry," Jacqui said, a smile playing at her lips. "Okay, well, I saw the same thing for both of you, Edward and Bella – sort of. It's in a forest, I get different points of views; sometimes I saw Bella's face, other times, Edward's." She paused.

Edward's entire body tensed and he stopped playing with my hair. I turned around and saw his face with an impassive expression. His mouth pushed into a straight line. I turned my body completely and kissed his cheek. "It's okay," I whispered, "I'm here, your here. I love you."

He smiled a little. "I love you, too."

Jacqui cleared her throat playfully. "And then...Bella started crying and all I can see – this is through Bella's eyes – is trees again and again. But Edward, I see Bella from almost a birds-eye-view. It was interesting. You look so hurt and upset, Bella; broken."

I nodded. "I was..." taking a deep breath, I continued. "Not anymore, though. I get to spend forever with the love of my life." Edward's face turned into a colossal grin and he once again picked up my hand and kissed the ring.

It didn't bother me that Jacqui had seen Edward leaving me. It wasn't something that could be stopped or changed. All that mattered was that I knew Edward loved me.

"Aww, are you getting married. Sorry, I didn't notice. How sweet. When's the big day?" Jacqui practically screamed. She was jumping up and down in her seat.

I opened my mouth to speak, but the question was answered before a sound came out of my mouth. "August 13th. Two months away," Edward replied happily.

"Oh-my-gosh! That's so cool! Can I see your dress?"

I didn't know if I should show her or not. There was only one person that I wanted to answer that question. Turning around, I saw Alice's face light up. She nodded in encouragement.

"Oh sorry, Alice. Did you want to know what I saw? I got so caught up." Jacqui asked.

Alice shook her head. "No, not yet I think. Come though, Bella and I will show you the dress." She stood up and Jacqui followed. Alice walked past me and grabbed my hands. Edward let go reluctantly and gave me a reassuring smile.

We headed up the stairs and into Alice's room. I tripped on the first flight of stairs and was caught by a familiar cold pair of arms. "Thank you," I whispered as I was set on my feet. Jacqui giggled and continued running up the stairs.

We made it to Alice's room and into her massive closet. She was gone for a split second before coming back out with the large white garment bag that held my wedding dress.

"Ready?" Alice asked. Jacqui just nodded furiously.

Alice undid the zip and carefully pulled the dress out. The gorgeous sight of what I would be wearing in two months time still seemed to make me gasp. "DO NOT think of the dress or Edward will see it!" Alice screeched. "Okay, Sorry."

It was true that Edward had most probably seen the dress already considering what Alice told me of her vision. She had seen me walking down the aisle wearing it, even my hair and makeup and she then instantly knew what to design.

"Bella...it's...beyond words. You will look absolutely stunning!" Jacqui mused. I smiled thankfully.

I suddenly wondered what Jacqui had seen of Alice. I wanted to ask but I wasn't sure if she would be angry with me. "Alice, I was wondering if you had decided...decided if you wanted to find out what Jacqui saw."

Alice thought silently for a moment. "I think I am. But...could we maybe just stay up here. I know they will hear it anyways. I just want to hear it myself first and then I suppose they can hear when we go back down stairs." She continued playing with the dress, gently wiping her hands over the lace and ribbon.

"Sure," Jacqui breathed. "I think it's quite cute. I saw you waiting in an olden-style cafe. You're sitting there and then Jasper walked in. Your face lit up instantly. Getting up, you walked over to him and began talking then you took each other's hand and left. It was like love at first sight."

"That's beautiful, Alice. See, it wasn't anything bad. I always love hearing that story," I said, walking over and giving her a hug. She threw her arms around me and giggled.

"I know. Sorry. And thank you." She turned to Jacqui and smiled.

Once again, she zipped up the bag and placed it on the rack, hidden beneath her clothes. She came back out and opened the door, holding it open for us.

We stepped downstairs – me without tripping – and headed back into the living room where Edward and Jasper were waiting to take us back into their arms.
