Molly rushed back and forth down the hall, carrying assorted fabrics, sprays, and accessories. There would be a place for Molly in Alice's heart, of course, but today was Bella's day. It was Molly's day to be Alice's assistant, not sister, not friend.

Bella was a mess, which was to be expected. This was her "big day" but not exactly what she intended to be her favorite day. Molly kind of knew what Bella felt too. The thought of marriage was so permanent, especially in this case. It was easy to see why she felt the way she did.

Through the day, hour-by-hour, Bella was transformed. By the end of it all, no one could have ever guessed that it was even Bella under all of it. The way the flowing white gown held her shape was impeccable. Molly sighed. She didn't even need to be a vampire to be beautiful. When the thought of herself in a wedding gown like this one popped into her head, she immediately shuddered. Even being a vampire, she wouldn't look that good. 'Oh well." She sighed to herself. "It's her day, not mine."

"Molly!" Alice called impatiently from down the hall. Knowing it wasn't wise to cross Alice, she quickly bounded down to her. "Molly," Alice sighed while struggling with her own dress. "Can you help me, please? I would have asked Bella, but I don't want her to take any chances given her slight tendency to have accidents." Alice laughed a little.

"Oh sure thing," Molly smiled as she inched toward the door. "Well, I need to get my dress on too and do my hair up, so I'll be busy for a little while." She turned to leave, but was quickly interrupted by Alice.

"Oh, Mols?" she inclined. "One more thing." Molly grimaced as she turned back to Alice. "I put Jasper and Emmett in charge of the exterior decorating for everything tonight. Esme is kind of overseeing them, but could you check to make sure everything is going as planned."

"Yeah sure thing." Molly agreed. As she turned to leave, Molly was suddenly taken aback. "Alice…" she questioned. "Shouldn't you know that everything is going as planned?"

"Yeah," Alice shrugged, "I should, but not anymore. You see, Bella invited Jacob."

"Ohhhhh." Molly breathed, feeling silly because it seemed obvious now.

"Yeahhh." Alice replied. "I don't mind, however, it is slightly annoying."

Molly just nodded and soon she was off again doing Alice's bidding. She was outside within moments, the place where it would all happen tonight. Surprisingly, the guys really hadn't messed things too much. They even had added a small pond to the yard in addition to all the glittering decorations and lights. "Overachiever." Molly mumbled as she passed by Emmett.

"Hey!" Emmett quickly spun around. "I'll take that as a compliment, although I must admit I'm just working under Alice's orders." Emmett inched slightly closer. "Between you and me, seeing Alice mad would even scare me to death." Molly giggled a little. "Shouldn't you be getting ready though, I mean it's getting kind of late?"

"Yeah, yeah." Molly sighed. "I am a slave for now, but actually this is the last thing she sent me to do."

"What, to make sure that we didn't screw up?" Emmett chuckled.

"In more or less words… yes." She shrugged innocently.

After seeing that all was going as planned, Molly rushed upstairs realizing the truth in Emmett's words. It was getting late. She faded into her room to primp and prepare herself what she anticipated to be an exciting night.

Bella took a few deep breaths as she tried to clear her mind. Not only was her heart frantic, but also now she was in a cold sweat. 'Great,' she thought to herself, 'this is just what I need right now. Just stay calm Bella, it will all be fine.' In truth, Bella had spent most of the day trying to assure herself this, but that was easier said than done.

Slowly, Bella's fright turned into panic. She stared out of a small window in the compact bathroom. It was dark now, in other words, time for the wedding. She knew that at this point, Renee would already be down in the yard with Phil, chatting away, and probably sobbing slightly. Charlie would be there too, all tense and worked up. Maybe Jacob even decided to show up. All the people she loved, all together, if only the reason for this wasn't so scary.

"Bella!" Alice shouted, as she knocked at the bathroom door frantically. "You have to come out soon! I promise that it will be alright."

"I know, I know." Bella replied almost in a cry. "I just needed a minute, I'm coming out." Following suit, the door clicked unlocked and opened slowly.

Alice quickly grabbed her hand and started to almost pull her down the stairs. Just outside the French doors, that Bella could now see, was her own impending doom. She sucked in a breath as she spotted Charlie walking up to her in his tidy suit.

"Bella." He whispered, almost in awe. "Bells, you look stunning." He grabbed her tightly and walked with her closer to the door. Bella thought she spotted a tear roll down his cheek. "Bella, I can't even say how much I love you. There's no way it could be put into words. Over these past couple years you've done so much for me and I'd never be the same without you kiddo. You know I respect your decision tonight. Anything that makes you happy makes me happy. Bella just listened in silence.

Soon music on the other side of the door grew louder and louder, and Bella knew this was her cue. The door opened and there before her was an aisle of lights, her aisle. Slowly with Charlie she walked up it. Her family and friends watched as she passed by. At this point, Bella had no sense of anything the music, the lights, or the people; they were all gone. There was only one thing occupying her mind now, Edward.

There he stood at the alter, perfect as always. His bronze hair shone in the dim moonlight. As she looked at him, all she could see was complete and utter love on his face, love for her. Bella had always wondered what she had done to deserve him, truthfully in her opinion, she didn't. At the end, Charlie let go reluctantly and she was now Edwards to hold. She turned forward, ready to hear the words, ready to say "I do."

Bella took a breath in. The ceremony began, just before a gasp came from the crowd. Bella impulsively turned around, and there stood someone she longed to see. It was Jacob, her Jacob. Bella's eyes met his and then another sound came from the crowd, but this time is wasn't a gasp, then Edward snarled. Jacob as promised was not alone. Molly stood up, horror stricken.
