Broken Moon

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

AN: OK, so here is something that happened with this story. I was in the hospital, because I have a serious case of pneumonia. So I asked my beta-readers my cousin, G and my sister, Addison, to check my stories and post them. They agreed and I was like, "Oh, wow, what a great and amazing sister and coz I have." But, what I didn't know was, that she (sister) read my last few chapters and started liking the story. So, she decided to make Moon pregnant (without my permission). I am mad at her, so she is going to continue the story, because I don't like it. I wanted to portrait that Moon wasn't perfect, but she found happiness in Embry Call. They were going to adopt a baby and he was going to fill them with such happiness... then later Ali, Moon's mother, was going to be a surrogate mother for them and she was going to carry Moon's and Embry's children and she was going to have two boys and a girls, yes, triplets, but she ruined it all! But, noooo, thanks to Addivani and her stupid meddling, I have resigned from this story. She is going to be posting from now on. I hope that you liked the previous chapter because that was the last one of me as the author of this story.

Perfection

by Addi

I sat in front of the vanity mirror, staring at myself. I was alone, as Aunt Alice and my grandmother Nessie, rushed in and out of the room making sure that my brothers and sisters were getting ready. I wanted to cry, but Alice had warned me about the makeup and the mascara getting ruined if I cried. I dabbed the corner of my eyes carefully, taking precautions not to damage my makeup.

"You look so beautiful," my mother said. I watched her reflection on the mirror when she entered the room. "I can't believe that you are finally getting married. My little Seth is all grown up."

"Thanks, Mom." I whispered, swallowing the tears that stung behind my throat. I blew my face with my hands and took a deep breath. "It's surreal. My life, the events that brought me here, they were all worth it. I'll be with Embry Call. I will be Mrs. Call from today on."

"I know." she said, as she bit her lower lip.

It was hard to imagine that the woman that stood in front of me was my mother. She was so full of youth and love. We could easily pass as sisters, but the bond that united us, was that of a mother and a daughter.

"How is Papito?" I asked, as I turned to face her.

"He is helping SJ and Diego with their tux." she responded, as she tilted her head and stared at my bed. "It's hard to believe that not so long ago, I held you in my arms."

"Mom," I said, my voice trembling. "Let's not talk about sad stuff."

"We aren't." she laughed, as she wiped a lone tear that streamed down her perfect face. "I was just remembering how blessed I have been with you in my life."

"Mom," I sobbed, grabbing a handkerchief from the vanity table and dabbing my eyes carefully. "If I cry, Alice will kill me."

My mother laughed heartedly and sighed. "I'm glad that Diego is finally talking to you." she said, as she changed the topic. "He's been going on about how happy he is that you will be with Embry."

"I'm surprised." I said. "He didn't want to talk to me for a few weeks and then last night he comes up to me at the rehearsal dinner and hugged me and wished me well."

"Someone must've spoken to him." Mom said nonchalantly.

"I wonder who." I said, blowing my nose.

"Whoever it was, did you two a favor." she said, nodding. "You and your brother love each other and a few words should never come between you two."

"I know, but I thought he would hate me forever, after beating him and Ivory with a bat."

"Moon," my mom laughed. "You barely touched Ivory with the bat. She just fainted, when she thought that you were going to kill her love. And why wouldn't Diego like you? You've always been the light of his eyes."

"I was the light of his eyes. Ivory is his everything now."

"It maybe so, but you are his sister. The love he feels for you is different from the love he feels for her."

"At least he won't be moping around like an idiot anymore."

"I have to thank you for that." my mother giggled and then leaned against the doorway.

"Mom," I said seriously.

"Yes?"

"Am I doing the right thing?"

"I don't know." she shrugged. "Ask yourself this; do I want to be with the man that I love and need? If your answer is yes, then you are definitely doing the right thing."

I turned to face my own reflection. My mother took a few steps closer to me and touched my shoulders with her delicate hands. "Close your eyes." she ordered gently.

I nodded and did as she said. "Look at the images that I am going to show you."

"OK," I mumbled, resting my hands on my lap.

I closed my eyes and calmly waited for my mother to show me images of whatever she wanted me to see. Her special ability enabled her to project images and voices into someone's head. To do this, she needed to be in contact with the person. At first, it was a soft voice that echoed in my head. It was Embry's voice. He was laughing heartedly, suddenly, images of his wonderful smile were inundating my mind, my thoughts and my heart.

"Do you really love her, Embry?" Papito asked.

Embry nodded briskly. "I can't stop loving her, Seth." he laughed. "It's like an addiction. She is my drug. You should know what I mean."

"I know what you mean." Papito laughed. "Ali, you can come out from behind the door." Papito said, as he turned to face my mother.

"Sorry, I was here even before you two came into the patio." Mom said shyly. "I hear that you guys are talking about Moon."

"Yep, I came here to ask you and Seth something very important." Embry said, playing nervously with his hands.

"I can hear your thoughts, Em." Mom said, as she sat on my father's lap. "My answer is Yes!"

"Yeah?" Embry said, raising an eyebrow and giving my mother a puzzled look. "Cool."

"What are you two talking about?" Papito asked confused, his eyes falling on Embry and then at Mom.

"I want to marry Mallory Moon." Embry said quickly.

"You do?" Papito said, nodding casually.

"I do, I love her and nothing will ever change that." Embry continued. "I will make her happy, Seth. I promise to live for her and cherish her and be everything she needs me to be. I want to see the same smile that Ali carries on her face all the time. I want to give her all of me and be one in holy matrimony with her. I want to protect her, provide for her and care for her."

"Wow," Papito laughed. "Did you ask Jacob for her hand?"

"I did," Embry laughed jovially.

"And?" Mom asked.

"I got a black eye and a fuck you mother fucker and a dozen more expletives." Embry whispered, as he touched his left eye.

"Yep, that's my Daddy!" Mom said proudly.

"So, can I have your daughter's hand in marriage?"

"I know that you'll protect her and keep her safe. I know that you love her and that is something that I have seen with my eyes. If Moon is willing to marry you, then I can only give you my blessing."

The image started to turn bleak and fade. I opened my eyes and saw my mother's reflection. "He loves you." she said, kissing my cheek. "He loves you very much."

"And I love him."

"I know."

"Thanks, Mom."

"You are welcome, princess."

-***_**_***-

I never knew that love could grow inside of my heart. I always thought that I was going to be destined to suffer, to carry my burdens alone. But not anymore. I stood in front of hundreds of guest. Half of them I knew and the other half, were friends of my family. They were there to witness a beautiful event, in which I would accept Embry as my husband. The minister made us say our vows and I promised to love him and treasure him, care for him and love him, until the stars fell from the sky and the world collapsed and ended. Embry laughed at me and kissed me before the Minister proclaimed us husband and wife. The crowd cheered and applauded.

Everything happened so fast. One minute I was nervous, almost tripped walking down the aisle, the next I was proclaiming my undying love for my groom and now... Wow! I was now Mrs. Call. I was his and this time there was a paper to confirm it. I was Embry's way before the stars aligned and the moon decided to rotate around her Earth. I was the reflection of happiness.

"Mrs. Call," Embry whispered, as we were greeted in to the reception hall. "You are lovely, Moon." Embry said proudly.

My smile couldn't die even if Embry stepped on my dress when we had our first waltz as a happily and blissful married couple. The skirt of the dress ripped and got ruined, just like Alice predicted. I didn't cry; because I knew that this was were I belonged, in Embry's arms.

"You, step away from her." Alice said angrily, as she came between us in the middle of our dance. "Stop the music." she screamed at the DJ. The music abruptly died.

"Moon, come, now!" she said furiously, as she grabbed my arm and ushered me away from Embry. I followed her and we walked to a small room, where she had my back-up wedding dress. "Here, put this on." she said, handing me the dress.

"OK." I said, nodding.

I put on the dress with Rose's and Nessie's help. When I was done, Alice looked calmer than before. "Good." she said satisfied.

"I'm going to with my husband now, Alice." I said, as I practically ran down the hall into the reception hall and found Embry speaking to Addivani and Ruben. He waved good bye to them and walked to where I stood.

"Moon," he said, as he looked down at me, examining with his eyes. "I'm sorry about the dress."

"It's fine." I said aloof. "Aunt Alice had a spare dress. So we are perfect for the pictures. Let's go and have fun."

"Sure," Embry said mirthful. He took my hand in his and together we walked to the dance floor and danced half of the night away.

I was too happy to worry about the unimportant details. My eyes were fixed on Embry, as we continued to dance. His eyes never left me. He carried the same smile on his face, as I did on mine. He was static. We were one; husband and wife. We were a new family.

"How do you feel?" I asked, as we danced.

"Strange, happy, content, jovial and everything nice." he gushed, his smile spreading even wider.

"I'm glad!" I said, kissing his chin.

"So, Mrs. Call," he paused, bending his head to kiss me on the forehead. "Guess where are we going for our honeymoon?" he asked, releasing my hands from his. He knew that I would use my gift to read his mind, if I touched him.

"That's not fair, Em." I whined, pretending to be sad. He immediately touched my face and I knew that we were going to Africa on a four week Safari expedition. "We are?"

"Yes," Embry said contently. He twirled me and we continued to dance.

"How did you know?" I asked, as I ran my gloved hand up and down his arm.

"A little birdy told me." he winked.

"But, no one knew about it. I only told one person and that was-"

"Ruben." Embry smiled. "The kid is not so bad after you meet him."

"He's not." I said, as Embry's eyes lured me to them, mesmerizing me. "But how?"

"We got to talk and he told me that he's in love with Addivani and about how you two always planned to go to Africa on a safari."

"I'm glad that you got to meet him."

"He wants to become a vampire." he said, his smile dying on his lips.

"Why?" I asked sadly. It wasn't a pretty life to be a vampire. Even to a hybrid like myself; it wasn't easy. I didn't like drinking the blood of animals, but I did it because if I drank blood from a human, I would be losing that little bit of humanity that was left inside me.

"Sweetie," Embry paused. "Your sister can live forever, but he can't. He wants to be there for their child. So I understand him. I did tell him about the treaty that we have with the Cullens. He agreed to not force any of them into turning him into a leech. Addivani doesn't want him to lose his human qualities."

"I can't believe that he wants to become a vampire." I whispered.

Embry nodded and we moved slowly to the sound of the music. "Addison is sad about his decision, but is respecting it. She had him speak to Nahuel about him wanting to become a vampire. Nahuel agreed to helping them. But the saddest thing is that he is going to have to be away from Addison and Chrissy for a while after he becomes a vampire. At least until he learns to control his urges."

"Poor Addivani. I knew she was sad, but when I asked her if something was wrong, she would force a smile and change the subject." I said sadly.

"You've been pretty out there lately. You aren't yourself." Embry said worriedly.

"I've been anxious about the wedding." I said honestly. "Plus, in a way," I paused and wrapped my arms around Embry's waist. "I understand him. I would do anything in my power to remain next to you if I wasn't immortal, Embry."

"But you are and I don't want anything about you to change." Embry whispered against my ear.

We continued to dance, when the music slowly died and everyone started to clap. I clapped too; my eyes were fixed on Embry as he smiled happily and looked at Seth Jacob. They were silently speaking to each other through signal. My older brother walked to the front and grabbed the microphone.

"Hello," he said, his cheeks turning red. "My name is Matteo Alejandro, but to my family I am known as Seth Jacob. I am Moon's twin brother and-" he choked as he stared at me. "Moon, in the little time that we've been together, I want you to know that you are like the sun. You shine brightly and your laughter is contagious. I want to wish you the best." he said, raising his cup. "Be happy and know that we will be content that you have finally reach that point in your life, where you have found your true meaning in life: to love and be loved by Embry."

"Cheers," the crowed yelled. Embry kissed me and hugged me tightly.

"Thanks, love." I whispered to Embry.

AN2- Hi, I am Addison and I wanted to apologize if this chapter didn't have the same vibe as the ones that my sister writes. I tried to do it as similiar as she does, but it might not be like her chapters. I apologize for ruining it, but I think that I did a good job. Again, thanks for reading. Reviews would be really appreciated. Sorry, Mercury.
