Chapter Twenty-Nine
I squealed with excitement; I was finally going to see my wedding dress!
"I'll be right there!" I replied quickly and snapped my phone shut.
I turned my head to Jacob who looked amused by my over-excited expression. He had probably heard my conversation with Alice so there was no point in explaining that to him again.
"Wanna go home?" he asked. That caught Mary's and Embry's attention. I nodded; eager.
"You're leaving already?" Mary asked.
"Yeah; Alice said that I had to go home now!" I practically squealed again at the last part of the sentence.
"Okay, then. See you Monday?" she asked, unsure.
"Sure; we have an exam, don't we?" I asked rhetorically as I pulled Jake to the Rabbit.
"I'll call Quil to get your car!" Jake yelled to Embry above my shoulder as he waved at both of them.
I was bouncing in my seat on our way to the mansion; I couldn't wait to be there, obviously. Jacob thought that was pretty funny.
As soon as we were in the driveway, before Jake even slowed the car down, I unbuckled my seatbelt, opened the door and was about to get out when I felt Jacob's hand grab my wrist urgently.
"Are you stupid or something? Can't you just wait until I at least slow down?" he was frantic. I rolled my eyes.
"Jake, first, let go!" I struggled to get my wrist free but he was stronger than me. I huffed," Second, I hunt down mountain lions! Do you seriously think I'd get hurt getting out of a car while it's still going?" I stressed on every word. He had parked the car by then.
He sighed," Sorry. But you scared me." I sighed as well and smiled.
"S'Okay," I mumbled and kissed his cheek." Now, please, let go? It hurts." He immediately let go of my wrist.
I stormed to my room, where I could smell Alice, and rushed to my closet where she was standing with a package in her hand, her face beaming.
"I have it right here," she said, or rather sang. I grinned widely.
"I want to see it!" I demanded, hopping up and down again. She chuckled lightly and blindfolded me. Then, right afterward, she removed the scarf.
"You reek of dog! Go take a shower before you come anywhere near the dress!" Her nose wrinkled to confirm it. I rolled my eyes.
"Alice! I'm getting married to him, in the dress! It doesn't matter!" I reasoned, whimpering.
She sighed," Fine," she muttered grudgingly.
She blindfolded me again as I felt her getting me into a very soft dress. Satin, I assumed. But, I couldn't be sure.
As she removed the scarf, ever-so-slowly, I opened my eyes to see my reflection in the giant mirror right before my eyes.
My mouth dropped as I saw the most beautiful white wedding dress in the whole wide world.
It was strapless, a tulle bow right under the lace that covered my chest, with white satin appearing beneath it. From under the bow until mid-thigh was also covered with lace.
Going down with my eyes I saw the beautiful tulle layers that appeared where the satin stopped right after the lace.
"And that's not all of it," Alice said as she saw my bewildered expression. She leaned down quickly and got out a small box. She opened it in painful slow-motion until she took out the tiara in her little hands. My eyes widened and I jumped up excitedly.
"It's just…wow!" I stuttered the way Jake does. And it was 'wow'; so modern but still a classic tiara. Don't ask how; I don't know.
"I know! Diamonds! I would've liked to add some rubies but I thought against it." Cullens.
I just stood there staring for a moment, feeling nervous already about the wedding; it seemed too close now. Alice then, apparently, had a vision.
"Come on! Let's get you out of the dress! All of them are returning from the hunting trip!" Alice yelled, dressing me back in my clothes already.
"Hunting trip?" I asked, confused; I didn't know they were hunting. And Em and Jazz already hunted with me this morning!
"Yes; hunting. Why?" she sounded a little bit too innocent. I rolled my eyes; they have been preparing a surprise or something.
"Are you done already?" I heard Jake's voice from downstairs. Wait, downstairs? I thought he left. Alice must have noticed my expression because she explained…
"His suit. Duh!" She rolled her eyes. I giggled.
"Yeah," I answered his question, knowing that he would hear.
A few seconds later, I found him in the closet with us. He grinned at me. I ran there and hugged him; don't ask why because I just felt like it.
"About 5 weeks," he whispered in my ear. I smiled.
"Yeah," I whispered back.
******************************************************************************
" Jasper! Out. Of. Here!" Alice yelled, pushing him outside the closet, where we were.
"What, Alice? Don't I get to see what you're going to wear? It's just Rachel's wedding, you know," he tried to reason.
She shook her head defiantly and looked back at me and Momma; Rose and Emmett were out of town for the weekend; again, 'wedding secrets'. Ugh.
"Now, Bella," she chanted, moving towards Momma's blue dress. "Wear it and wait for me to apply your make-up!" Momma rolled her eyes.
The dress was exquisite; it was one-shouldered, the blue and white chiffon scarf was held from the shoulder to the wide waist-belt, leaving most of it flying freely. It looked just superb on Momma.
I wore my red Zuhair Murad dress –Alice taught me how to pronounce it in a perfect Lebanese accent- and waited for her to apply my make-up.
Alice, being Alice, wore her dress the last, even after our make-up.
Her dress was totally different though; it was white and knee-length, with a wide 'belt' right under her chest. She curled the edges of her hair and used just a little make-up; she didn't need it anyways.
After the whole dress-me-up games in my closet, we walked downstairs for the three, exceptionally bored, men downstairs; Jasper, Daddy and my Jake.
Jacob Black
This was ridiculous! My sister's wedding was in half an hour and I was going to miss it because Shorty decided it was nice to make Nessie her Barbie doll!
"Jacob, I'm begging you!" Jasper said for the millionth time; my emotions were getting on his nerves. I smirked.
"I'll try." I saw Edward roll his eyes.
I was getting a little bit nervous though; today, Mary would meet the vamps. I just hope it would go well just as it went a week ago when Ness told her. Though Nessie told me that she wasn't really comfortable around her at school. I'd have to talk to Embry about that.
I felt my new phone ring in my expensive suit's pocket- Ness had bought me one last week. I still can't believe how I just go with whatever she says. I got it out and blinked twice at the caller's ID before I answered it.
"Hello?"
"Jake! Where the Hell are you?" Rebecca's voice said. Oh, God. I missed her so much.
"I'm at Ness'. I won't be late, promise, sis," I managed to say; I was still recovering; no one had told me she was finally coming.
"Ness? Oh, you and I have a lot to talk about! I'm waiting. Miss you!"
"Miss you, too," I mumbled into the now-dead BlackBerry.
I missed Rebecca; I'd only seen her for a couple of times since she got married and moved away with her annoying husband. Chase. Ugh.
I'd have a lot to deal with after tonight. Work, the Pack, Billy- He'd be living all alone again now. And he's not young- and finally, my Renesmee.
I didn't know how I would manage to have time in the 24 hours of the day to take care of all of that.
Last week, I managed to get the garage ready; Nessie was always busy for those exams she had. I was going to see her for the first time in a few days now.
"Jake?" she waved her little hands in front of my face, snapping me out of my reverie. I took a good look at her then.
She looked more beautiful than usual. It's not like I thought it was remotely possible; maybe, just maybe, I was a little bit biased. Naw; she was a natural.
The long red dress enhanced the color if her hair and eyes, though green looked better on her. She still looked more than beautiful.
"You're just…wow!" I stuttered as usual. I could almost feel Edward's smirk.
She chuckled lightly, showing her pearls of teeth, and kissed me quickly. Oh, great, now I had lip gloss on. I smiled as she pulled away and wiped away the light pink lip gloss.
We took her Ferrari, alone. The rest took Edward's Volvo; they had a permission to cross the boarders today for Rachel's wedding. Hell, I was the Alpha! What are those boundaries now for anyways?
Whatever.
"Excited?" she asked, obviously asking about our wedding.
"Of course!"
"Where's the honeymoon?" she asked before I could say anything else. I rolled my eyes; I told her I wouldn't tell her.
"Nessie," I groaned as she used her puppy eyes. It hurt like Hell to not be able to do what she wants.
"Please Jakey?" she whined, using the name she only used once before…
Flashback
I watched her little steps as she walked towards her pile of toys, eying them carefully and trying to choose something to play with.
"Hmm…" she mumbled as she threw some little toys away from her way. I went beside her and got on my knees to be able to talk to her; she still looks up at me even when I'm on my knees.
"What do you want to do?" I asked gently, playing with her curls as she looked at me with her wide brown chocolate eyes that now held a new sparkle.
"Make-up!" she squealed. Oh, I hate you Shorty for teaching her this!
"How so?" I asked as sweetly as possible, praying it wouldn't be what I thought it was. She ran, full speed, to her make-up kit and got it, opening it in front of me.
"On you!" she concluded, grinning from ear-to-ear.
"Nessie," I groaned. She pouted.
"Please, Jakey?" she whined. Oh my God. I was going to be a Barbie doll.
End Flashback
"Edward and Bella will kill me for telling you, Ness. Please?" I tried to stop her whining.
"Jacob!" I sighed.
"Malaysia." Her eyes grew wide as a smile spread on her face. She hugged me as I drove. I took one hand away from the steering wheel and wrapped it around her and kissed her head.
"This is just awesome!" she squealed again. She had been doing that a lot for a while.
We got to Paul's, where the wedding was, just on time; Billy was still waiting for her to walk her down the aisle. I would have done that but she insisted. She loved him so much.
"Jacob!" Rebecca yelled as she threw her arms around me. I let go of Ness' hand and wrapped my own arms around her, too.
"Hey, Rebecca," I whispered. Nessie gave me a 'What the Hell' look from behind her. I chuckled lightly as I pulled away from our brief hug. "Sorry; I forgot to introduce you-" I took Nessie's waist and Rebecca's shoulder," Renesmee, this is Rebecca, my sister-" Understanding crossed her face and she smiled sweetly at her," Rebecca, this is Renesmee, or Nessie, my fiancée," I stated proudly. Rebecca looked at me like she wanted to say 'And why am I the last one to know about this?'; I would know.
Rebecca knew nothing about the whole world we live in. No vampires, no wolves, nothing.
"We're getting married on January 1st," I said, trying to lessen her glare but failed miserably.
"Yeah. Later, Jake." She walked away to Chase before she rushed to wait with the bridesmaids. Ugh. What? I can't say his name without the 'Ugh'.
Just then, the music began, announcing the beginning of the ceremony.
Billy, in his wheelchair, held Rachel's hand as she walked down the aisle towards Paul, who was grinning, unlike him. Jared was his best man, while Rebecca, Emily and Leah were Rachel's bridesmaids.
I had to look away when they kissed though; it still disgusts me.
Nessie was by my side the whole time, trying to sense if I was uncomfortable or something; I could tell from her glances at Jasper every couple of minutes.
"Come on," she whispered as we all headed towards the other, bigger room where the reception was held.
Mary was with Embry there. She looked like something was going on with her but I didn't care that much; Embry would handle it and would tell if he needed any help. I could feel Nessie tense by my side; she was also nervous about this.
"It won't be that bad," I reassured her. Edward, Bella, Alice and Jasper joined us then.
Nessie sighed and squeezed my hand. It didn't hurt as much as the squeeze last week.
"Hey, Mary." Her voice was shaky. Embry was trying to reassure Mary, too.
"Hey, Ness," she greeted her, smiling a small smile.
"Umm-" Edward cut her off, saving her.
"Hello, Mary. I'm Edward, Nessie's father. This is Bella, her mother, Alice, her aunt and Jasper, her uncle." He pointed at them as he introduced. I wondered where Carlisle and Esme were but then let it go; they were probably buying us something for the wedding; everyone was doing that lately.
"Hello," she whispered as she shook his cold hand, flinching slightly as she did. I could hear her heartbeat become uneven. Then she sighed, relaxing. Jasper.
Alice suddenly jumped and clapped like a child with candy, "We're going to be great friends!" she announced as she hugged her. She was too stunned to hug her back. I wondered if she saw that in a vision earlier. I glanced at Edward who nodded.
Mary Grace Anderson
A few seconds ago, I was really terrified; I was meeting vampires. Like, real vampires!
I knew they didn't drink human blood, and that Nessie wouldn't hurt me, and that Embry wouldn't let it happen in the first place, but I couldn't help but feel scared.
I sighed; Embry. I loved him uncontrollably since the moment I saw him. Creepy, I know, but he loves me just the same. Maybe even more, I give him that much.
Now, I was relaxed. Though I knew that it was because of Jasper Hale, Ness' uncle; she told me he could control emotions. I wasn't annoyed though.
Nessie and I still had a good chance that we would be best friends. Really; both of us held similar secrets.
Today wasn't one of my best days though; I kind of fought with my parents and I so wanted to pack my stuff and leave. But Embry convinced me not to. Now I feel all guilty and terrible. Ugh.
"Sure," I answered Alice. Although she was ice cold, she was so warm. Yeah, I know, it sounds crazy. But she was so hyper and looked extremely friendly.
It was time for the dances then. Embry snapped me out of my little thinking bubble and held his hand out for me, asking me if I wanted to dance with him. I agreed instantly and walked awkwardly in my heels towards the dance floor. His graceful steps kept me from falling.
I wrapped my arms around his neck as his arms held my waist. I blushed quickly then focused on the dance moves.
As the music became slower I leant on his chest and relaxed, he slipped one arm from my waist to my hair and kissed it.
"See? I told you it would be just fine," he whispered against my neck, sending chills down my spine. I smiled.
"Yeah; I'd still need time to cope with that new fact though," I whispered back.
"I know, honey." I loved it when he called me that," I'm always here. I won't let anything happen to you. Know that, please." I instantly felt safer, happier. I sighed happily.
I was going to enter that myths world and embrace it.
Jacob Black
I played with Nessie's curls as she sat on my lap while I sat on the garden bench, getting away from the music and the noise a little; all La Push was there.
"You know, Jake?" she finally spoke.
"Yes, Ness?"
"This was really better than I thought. I don't know what's wrong with Mary though…" she mumbled, trailing off. I kissed her cheek.
"Told ya." I smirked. She slapped my arm playfully.
We kept in comfortable silence for a while, until we both heard Seth angry voice mumble something. I glanced at the door to find a very drunk Seth stumbling his way out with Amy right behind him.
"Seth!" she called, running to keep his pace." Look at me! What's wrong? What happened?" she asked.
"Amy, please, stay inside," he warned her as he started shaking. Not so good.
He only phased once in front of her, when he told her about 'us', but since then, he promised he wouldn't phase with her around; he was afraid she might get hurt the way Emily did, or the way Billy almost did.
I paid more attention to Ness now…
"Go inside, get Quil here and make sure nobody gets out now, okay?" I asked her, glancing back at Seth who was shaking even harder. She nodded and got inside quickly, quite impressive if you ask me with her heels on.
Seth was practically phasing now, I ran to Amy and got her out of the way. He would thank me for that later.
She was terrified; he was never that angry, well, he never got drunk either. It was Seth we were talking about!
Quil got out with Edward by his side.
"Quil!" I called," take Amy inside, please." He took her from my arms and got her inside. That was when Seth finally exploded into a ball of fur. I sighed, still worried; what would do that to him? And where was Leah now?
He whimpered slightly and ran towards the woods in his full speed. Honestly, I was debating whether I would phase and ruin the suit or just take Edward and follow him.
Screw the suit! Sorry Alice…
I heard Edward chuckle lightly as I sprinted towards the woods. All I could save was the jacket before I phased.
Seth! No answer. Seth Clearwater you'd better answer me now! I used the Alpha voice I didn't like to use.
He growled.
Yes, Jacob?
What happened? Why were you drunk, Seth? Do you have the slightest idea of what would have happened to Amy if you phased near her?
He sighed mentally.
She's getting married! She's getting fucking married to Charlie! Dad has passed away only 7 years ago, Jake! Couldn't she give him that much?
Sue, huh?
No, Leah! Of course it's Mom! Getting drunk didn't help him at all, did it?
Where's Leah? I suddenly asked after a moment of silence.
She ran away, she just left the place as soon as she heard the news from Mom. He didn't even have the guts to come there with her!
Where do you think she went?
You have full access to my head now! Do you think I know?
NO! Sorry, Seth, but you need to CALM DOWN!
Yeah, what would that do, huh?
Calm down first then we talk!
Okay, I'm cool. Talk! I wasn't going to make him chill a little, was I?
Seth, what do you think Harry would want Sue to do? Do you think he'd want her to isolate herself from the world just for his sake?
What about us, Jake? What about me and Leah?
Hey, you'd be the vamp's step-brother!
Very funny, Jake.
Okay, don't you think he'd want her to be happy?
Yeah, but-
No buts! Calm down now and come back to the wedding!
Make me!
Amy is there. You'd need to apologize wouldn't you? I knew this would make him.
He sighed mentally, again.
Okay.
I'll have Jasper around you. What the Hell were you thinking, getting drunk? If it wasn't for you being only 17 then for Amy! Seriously, man, you got it on your nerves more than you should!
Sorry. Was all he thought before I phased near the Cullens'; I had a couple of sweats somewhere…
Here!
I grabbed them between my teeth and wore them before I entered the mansion and called Nessie.
"Hey! How's Seth? What happened?" she asked as soon as she picked up.
"Um…I'm at your house now, as you might've known. And, about Seth, well, let's just say that you're going to be his niece."
"What? Charlie and Sue are getting married?" she asked, stunned.
"Yeah. How's everything there? Is Amy okay?"
"Yeah; the wedding is over, you know; Rachel and Paul already left for their honeymoon a moment ago. Amy cried a lot then Jazz calmed her down. Here's Seth!" she announced." Look, I have to go now. See you in a few!"
"'Kay, honey. I love you."
"Love you, too. More than you know, Jake!" She said quickly and ended the call before I could say my 'No way'.
How I loved her.
