It was later that evening when I was finally able to talk to Henry about taking a few days off.

"I dunno Jo, with how many days you've missed, how many favors you and I had to pull," Henry said, running a hand through his grey-streaked hair.

Business had closed just thirty minutes before and the rest of the staff had already left for the day. I knew I was asking a lot, and that some of the others had to take an extra hour or two onto their shifts, but I also knew that if I didn't go, the gap between myself and my family would only widen. And the irrational side of me didn't want that to happen.

"I know," I sighed, perching myself on the edge of a counter. "And I wouldn't ask if I really didn't need to go, but she is my sister."

"I thought you two were...?" He trailed off, his hand gesturing towards me.

"We are," I confirmed. "But, like I said, she's my sister. It's one of the most important days of her life...though I wish she'd wait. Girl's only eightteen."

Henry hummed and gave me a pointed look," Sounds like someone else I know."

My lips pursed," That's different and you know it. I had gone and got myself knocked up right before college started, his parent's wasn't going to let him see the kids unless we got married."

Henry held his hands up," Maybe she did too, have you thought about that?"

I shook my head," Bells isn't like that, she'd rather die than get pregnat. She doesn't like kids."

Henry walked over and sat next to me. He sighed," I'll give you the days, but when you get back you'll have to pull some extra shifts, with four of the staff leaving, it's gettin' a bit tight to cover people."

I grinned widely and gave him a hug," Thanks Henry, I'll start the moment we get back."

Henry huffed, but he patted me on the back. "Don't think I don't know you'll be bringing your little munchicans with you. You're lucky I like them. Speaking of which, I think it's time for both of us to be heading out. Have a good night."

"You too, Henry." With a peck on the cheek, I walked out of the store.

"Hey Jenna, where's the kiddos?" I asked when I walked through the door.

Jenna looked up at me and and smiled," They're in the kitchen Ms. Swan."

I nodded, and dropped my bag next to the door. " They act alright? No problems?"

She shook her head and stood up," Nah, no more than usual. Danny's excited for the Tooth Fairy. Hannah tried to play with my hair again, but after last time- well, it was a very firm no."

Wincing at the memory I replied," Sorry again about that. I told her your hair was much more thicker than ours, and that our brush would only get stuck in it."

"Eh, it's alright, I wanted to get my hair cut anyways. I like how it is now," she ran her hand over her hair, her curls short and glossy.

"Well that's good, hey you won't need to come in for a couple days. I'll text you the details later, is that alright?"

"Yep, well goodnight Ms. Swan. I'll see you whenever," she said teasingly, scooping her books off the couch. "Goodnight kids!" she yelled towards the kitchen.

"Here's your money by the way," I said, fishing it out of my wallet. "Be careful on your way home, alright?"

"Always am."

"Mom!" Two excited voices shout as they barreled out of the kitchen.

"No-umph-nevermind," I said, as they hugged me. I smiled down at them and ruffled their hair. "Nice to know I'm missed. How was y'alls day?"

"Great!"Danny chirped, beaming up at me.

Hannah grinned up," Same, Kelly had a birthday party today so we got cupcakes."

"Sounds fun, well looks like you all ate and got into your pjs, so it looks like it's time for-"

"Moooooooom, do we have to go to bed right now?" Hannah whined, her arms tightening around my waist.

"Yeaah, can't it wait?" Danny asked, eyes wide and pleading. "We can watch one of those movies we got."

I looked up at the ceiling," Fine, fine you two can go to bed later, I'll give you an hour and a half. But I gotta make a phone call real quick, so you can start the movie while I'm doing that." They grinned and ran off to my bedroom, where we kept the TV and dvds at.

I plopped down on the couch, pulled out my phone, and called mom. I streched out and crossed my legs, head falling back on the couch.

"Hello?"

"Hey mom," I said, "It's Josie."

"Hey baby, got any good news for me?"

I snorted."Depends on your defintion of good," I said dryly.

"Josie."

"Henry gave me the days off, the kids and I will be able to make it. We'll come up Friday for the wedding and leave afterwards."

Mom scoffed,"Nonsense, you and the kids should come up Wensday evening and stay for a bit. Charlie would love to see them again and you could introduce yourselves to the Cullens. Plus, it give you some time to rest, after all you have quiet the drive to make."

I bit my lip, while mom did have a point, I didn't want to make things to tense between Bella and I before the wedding. But, I could avoid sister dear for two days, it wouldn't be that hard.

"Is dad okay with it?"

"Of course he is, he'll be ecstatic that you came over."

"Okay, sounds like a plan then. Is there anything I should avoid wearing?"

"Actually," mom said slyly," Alice, Edward's sister, was wondering if she could-well-pick your all's outfit for the wedding, that's one of the reasons why I suggested you come early."

Of course. Why wasn't I suprised? "Mom...you know what? Sure, I'm sure Hannah would love that anyways."

I heard a squeal in the background, and I assumed it was Alice. "Great, we'll see you then."

At the Cullens House

" Bella, what's your sister's color? She as pale as you?" Alice asked as she flipped through some magazines, eyes dancing across the pages.

Bella looked at the vampire and shrugged. "I don't really know. She tans pretty well, but I don't know too much."

"Renee any help?"

Renee smiled," She is a bit darker than Bella, but not by much. As for color, I'm sure anything could work."

"How about the little ones?"

"Now that, I'm not sure."

A/N: Well here's chapter two. I think I up-ed the canon wedding date to about Mid-May-ish. But anyways, constructive critism appricated. If you like the story drop a comment! :)
