Hey You guys.
Sorry for the such lateness, we're so very sorry. Things have been hectic, and Oriana is going to College! We all wish her luck, of course. And the story will be over soon :( It's so sad, we know. But we're hoping we've given it a good run. There are only a few chapters left and we think you'll love them. The story will always remain in our hearts.
-Oriana de la Rose and ForbiddenWords.
Rosalie awoke that morning, her nerves all in a bunch. Emmett was sitting there, on the window panel,widdling what looked to be a horse.
"What's wrong, Em?" Rosalie asked. Emmett turned around, he looked sad.
"Nothing, I'm just widdling." Emmett said; a smile appeared on his lips, and he looked absolutely jubilant.
"I'm rather sad we're giving our little girl away." Rosalie said looking at him, Emmett nodded his head in agreement.
"I agree, but she'll be in good hands. Jasper is a good man. If anything, he's an amazing man. I'm sure that they'll be happy, forever. Like you and I." Emmett said smiling. Rosalie smiled too. She looked out at the sun, that was finally peering through the clouds.
"If the sun keeps up, we can't have an outside gathering." Rosalie said, "Alice was hoping for a picnic of sorts." Rosalie said smiling; Emmett looked down and sighed.
"Edward said we won't blow up, or catch fire, that we just... sparkle." Emmett said, "what sort of Vampire sparkles?" Emmett laughed at himself, "I feel like a sort of fruit, I do." Emmett said looking out the widow. He put his hand out, and it started to sparkle like diamonds and rubies.
"Wow. I think it's beautiful." Rosalie said. Emmett laughed at her astonishment.
"Glad you think so, now Bella is up, and so is Alice, they've made breakfast for you." Emmett said smiling at his wife. Rosalie smiled back.
"How wonderful."
Alice and Bella made eggs and bacon. Alice was over the fire, toasting up bread for them, and Jasper sat far away from the fire. He wasn't afraid of it,although he knew that was one of the only ways to kill him, he just didn't like the abnormally hot. Edward sat with Bella who was frying up the bacon.
Emmett looked at all of them, Bella and Alice busy like wives, and Edward and Jasper just watching their wives prepare a meal. Unfortunately it would be one of the last that they'd make.
"Good morning, Mom." Alice greeted. Rosalie smiled as she received a hug from Alice, who was very warm and a little flushed from the fire.
"Good morning, Alice, Bella." Rosalie paused, "Jasper, Edward." Rosalie said, addressing the men. "Who's idea was this?" Rosalie asked looking at Alice, Alice shrugged and pointed to Bella.
"Thank you, Alice. Last time I tell you to be nice for your mother." Bella said looking at Alice laughing.
"Oh, thank you dear, this is a very nice gesture." Rosalie said hugging Bella tightly. Bella smiled and nodded as she turned back to making the bacon.
Emmett sat down next to Rosalie who was sitting at the table with a piece of tapestry half finished. She began to knit. Breakfast went on without any talking, accept Rosalie's approval comments on the girls' cooking skills. The girls cleaned up and then all they did was wait, Bella casually making ribbons curl for Alice's arch way at the Opera House. Bella was humming to herself, and Edward was playing the piano softly. Alice had a book, reading for a while, then looking up to see Jasper, who was watching her read. Emmett stood there, and widdled a lot more.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door, and Bella's head shot up...
"That is Charlotte and Peter.." Jasper said smiling, Edward got up and opened the door. A beautiful blonde woman stood before them.
Charlotte was around five feet seven, and very beautiful. Her eyes were a rust color, indicating she'd had human's blood not too long ago. Her face was heart
shaped, and her lips were large and plump. She was very lean, and she had a small curve for her hips.
Peter was handsome, he had dark black hair, and also had the rust color eyes indicating he'd had some human blood not too long ago. Peter was almost six one and lean. His face was dark, and his lips were thin.
Smiles appeared on their lips as they looked in the room.
"Welcome." Edward said smiling.
"Thank you, Edward, is it?" Peter asked. Edward nodded his head and smiled.
"Peter!" Jasper exclaimed, and to Peter's surprise, he found that Jasper was a Vampire.
"Wow, you've made the transformation so suddenly..." Peter said, a little cautious of Jasper since he was a newborn.
"Yes, not intentionally, Emmett went a little crazy." Jasper said laughing, "Emmett is my father in law, well, soon to be." Jasper said pointing over to Emmett. Peter laughed.
"Hello all. I am Peter, and this is my wife, Charlotte." Peter introduced himself to everyone.
"I am Rosalie." Rosalie said pointing to herself, "That is Bella, Edward's mate." Rosalie pointed to Bella and Edward, "that is Alice, who is Jasper's bride." Rosalie said pointing to Alice, "and that is Emmett, my husband." Rosalie introduced everyone, Charlotte smiled at them all, her lips painted red.
"Rosalie, what a beautiful name!" Charlotte admired, Rosalie smiled and blushed, her eyes shinning with pride.
"Thank you, Charlotte is a beautiful name as well..." Rosalie said, she looked at the dress that Charlotte was wearing, it had to be from France. It was a wonderful creme colored lace, the lace was very thin and interface over the cotton which was a bright white. "Your dress is just divine." Rosalie admired.
"Thank you, your home is so warm and welcoming. The smell of cinnamon is so wonderful!" Charlotte admired as she walked in, her hands touching the wooden mantle and appreciating each and every small trinket that was made from shinning silver.
"Thank you, please, please, come sit." Rosalie said, but she smiled and blushed sheepishly... "I had forgotten, you really do not need to sit down."
"Oh, it's still refreshing to take a sit now and again." Peter said smiling as he sat down on the large rocking chair that Rosalie once occupied.
After a few hours of telling stories of where they were from, how Jasper knew them, and what in the world they were up to Edward stepped in and told them of their animal's only policy. They were happy to oblige, they didn't mean to, but they accidentally snacked on a few people on their way down to keep up their perseverance.
"Shall we decorate? I'm dying to see this Opera House. Jasper tells me Bella and Alice are the best dancers around.. Also that you, Rosalie are a wonderful dance instructor." Charlotte said smiling, "oh and Bella and Alice's musical careers," Charlotte added, smiling.
"Oh, yes, why thank you. Jasper's told me you love dancing." Rosalie said, "come, we'll go now, I'm sure the carriage is already warmed enough for us."
Rosalie said pulling Charlotte's cold arm to the door.
"Ahh, yes of course. I shall see you soon, Peter." Charlotte said smiling as she walked along with the rest of the girls.
On the way to the Opera House all the girls were in the carriage
"So, how did you get here, Charlotte?" Rosalie asked.
"We uhm... ran here. You see, Vampires are very fast. As you are possibly aware of." Charlotte said, her smile was worn, and her lips trembled a bit.
"You must forgive me, I am a little tempted, Dear Bella, you smell... magnificent." Charlotte said, she paused, "it is a complement, an ultimate one, actually."
"Thank you...?" Bella said, she was unsure of the compliment, but Edward had told her that she smelled so good, all the time. Of course, it was sort of different when he told her, it was in a very sensual way, in a romantic way.
They got to the Opera House and began decorating the large stage at which the wedding would take place. With in a blink of an eye Charlotte put up an alter for them to stand at, and she helped Rosalie hang garlands off of the alter.
"I think we should have a tree next to here." Charlotte said, "we can put lovely bows and everything on it." Charlotte said, Rosalie smiled and nodded in agreement.
"That would look lovely, wouldn't it, Bella?" Rosalie asked Bella who was busy putting rose petals on the basket.
"I think it would look beautiful." Bella agreed with the two women. "I think I am going to go check on Alice, she seemed troubled with the food." Bella said as she walked out.
They weren't going to have a lot of people at the wedding, but they were going to make food, of course. Just because the men do not eat anymore does not mean everyone else sucks blood. Alice planned to have Jasper's favorite, Southern Fried Chicken. It saddened her that Jasper wouldn't really be able to take part in the meal part. But he would be able to do a lot more things for her, get her into bed faster, if he could handle that. Alice's choices to go on with the wedding as normal as possible was her biggest choice. If she should not even have a real priest, but after a lot of convincing from Edward, she found that priests really had no effect on Vampires. They wouldn't even know there was a Vampire standing in front of them unless they knew an actual Vampire and all the signs of being one.
"Do you think this is right, Bella?" Alice asked, her head down looking at the center piece of the main table where every one would eat and converse about the happy occasion.
"Of course, Jasper and you are made for each other, Alice. What makes you think different?" Bella asked, her face a little flushed at her bluntness to her friend, however, she did ask for it.
"He's undead. I'm... So very confused, Bella. What if something bad happens, what if, by some mistake he kills me instead of makes me." Alice's mind wandered, Bella was caught off guard by Alice's sudden rush of fear and unsure ness.
"Alice, calm yourself. You've seen it." Bella paused, "we're all Vampires... We're all happy."
"I know, but I am not sure, perhaps I am going about this all wrong!" Alice started to pace back and forth in the dinning hall, her hair almost askew more than normal and her eyes wide with worry.
"Alice, look at me. Everything is fine, sit back and let Rosalie, Charlotte and I take care of this, for heavens sake!"
Bella walked over to the others, helping make the arch way beautiful with the ribbons that she had curled earlier for it. She hummed with Charlotte which was an Italian song that her father had used to sing to her before bed.
The Wedding Day.
Alice was in her gown and her hair was done with slight curls. Her make up was done lightly. Her blue eyes shined brightly with anticipation and excitement.
"The organist knows I want to move a little faster?" Alice asked Charlotte who was helping her with her tiara that she was going to wear.
"Yes, no please, Alice, stop moving. You need to stop worrying, too." Charlotte said fixing the tiara and her curly hair so that it looked good on Alice.
Alice looked like a pixy goddess. Her hair was done beautifully, her ears were pierced with diamonds in her ears. Her lips were painted a vibrant red. She looked so beautiful, as if heaven would accept her now.
"It's time." Emmett said as he walked into Alice's dressing room, Alice looked over, completely mortified.
"I'm not ready!" Alice said, almost hyper ventilating. Emmett took her by her hands and kissed them each.
"Alice, you are ready. You look beautiful, you look happy. You are ready for this to happen. You and Jasper belong together." Emmett assured her, Alice looked at her father, smiling at him. Her head shook vastly.
"Yes, you're right, daddy. You're right." Alice took a deep breath and she closed her eyes, bowing her head to do a quiet, thoughtful, personal prayer.
She put her head up, her eyes were bright, a smile was on her face.
"I'm ready." Alice said looking at her father, Emmett smiled and looked at everyone.
"Places." Rosalie called to everyone, making it sound like a production or a musical number.
Alice stood in line with her father, Emmett holding her hand, bouquet in the other, the flowers were bright yellow, they were daffodils. Bella was after her, holding Edward's hand, Bella was dressed in a yellow dress, the same dress that Rosalie was wearing. Charlotte wore a slightly different dress, it
was a pale yellow, but almost the same. She stood with Peter holding her arm, smiling at her lovingly, as if to say 'remember our wedding'. Rosalie brought up the end, by herself since her husband was escorting their daughter down the isle.
The music started. Alice took a deep breath, they were at the side of the stage, on the stairs, waiting to walk up the stairs. Emmett patted her hand and pulled her slightly to follow him up the stairs, Alice walked the pace of the music of the Wedding March. Alice's eyes welled with tears as she saw
Jasper standing up there with his tux on. Bella went on the bride's side, as did Charlotte and Rosalie. Emmett still held on to Alice as Edward and Peter made their ways to the groom's side.
Jasper's hair was the regular strawberry blonde curls, it was unruly and it looked as if he had been putting his hands through it nervously. His once gray eyes were showing through a slight bit of red, a rust color. His lips were pressed and he was gulping air as he found his throat hurt because of all
the blood. Emmett couldn't have been doing any better.
"Who offers this woman?" The preacher asked, Emmett smiled proudly.
"I do." Emmett said, he pulled the veil out of her face and smiled at his daughter, he kissed her cheek and she smiled at him.
"We are gathered here today to bring together these two young people in holey matrimony. Jasper Hale and Mary-Alice Cullen." The preacher paused, "they are to bound in every way possible, if there are any persons here who disagree with the joining of these two young people, speak now, or forever hold your peace."
Nobody spoke, nobody coughed. There was no noise, the preacher smiled at Alice and Jasper, who were looking at each other intently, waiting, hoping.
The preacher smiled at the two and put his hands to his waist.
"Join hands over my hands." The preacher said, they did so, their eyes looking over at the preacher intently. "Jasper Hale, are you ready to accept the ways of married life, ready to give up your life of wretch, your life of searching. For you are sure, you've found the one?"
Jasper shook his head in agreement, "I am." The preacher smiled in praise.
"Mary-Alice Cullen, are you ready to accept the ways of married life, ready to give up your life of wretch, your life of searching. For you are sure, you've found the one?" The preacher asked, Alice shook her head, tears in her eyes almost ready to unleash them on her freshly painted face.
"I am." Alice said smiling.
"Here we stand, before God, you both are ready for the hardships of marriage, the suffrage of marriage, the bliss of marriage. The pure magic of holey matrimony."
Rosalie and Emmett made eye contact, smiling at their wonderful marriage, there were hardships, there was suffrage. The bliss and the magic was what they really stayed in it for, especially the love.
"Jasper Hale, do you take Mary-Alice Cullen to be your wife, to have and to hold until death do you part." The preacher asked, Jasper laughed slightly, smiling at Alice, who smiled back.
"I do."
"And do you, Mary-Alice Cullen take Jasper Hale to be your husband, to have and to hold, until death do you part." The preacher asked Alice.
"I do."
"Rings." The preacher said, Alice turned to her mother, who handed her the ring that was met for Jasper. Jasper turned to Emmett who held the ring that was met for Alice.
"Jasper, repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed."
"With this ring, I thee wed." Jasper said slipping the ring onto Alice's hand, Alice smiled.
"Mary-Alice, repeat after me, With this ring, I thee wed."
"With this ring, I thee wed." Alice said slipping the ring onto Jasper's finger, Jasper smiled happily.
"I no pronounce you, man and wife. You may kiss the bride." The preacher said, Alice and Jasper looked at each other, a meaningful glance and Jasper kissed her chastely on the lips.
"It is my honor to introduce, for the very first time, Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Hale." The preacher said, there were several sobs, mostly from Rosalie and Bella, Emmett was clapping his hands, a large smile on his face. Charlotte stood there, smiling at Peter, remembering their wedding, perhaps
The night went on with merriment and smiles. Everyone was dancing, talking, Alice was enjoying herself talking to all of her dancer friends, telling them that she doesn't know where they'll be going for their honeymoon, but it will be somewhere far away. Alice had a secret want for South America.
However, it was so sunny there, they couldn't possibly go there. Alice had told her family that she was to become a Vampire on the honeymoon, and that that would be one person less for Edward to worry about. She was very sure that Jasper could control himself.
Bella of course, caught the bouquet, and then looked at Edward, who seemed to be quiet amused that she was the next in line to get married. Edward and Bella danced, Edward sang for Alice and Jasper, Bella sang for Alice and Jasper, the night was so musical, so much singing, dancing. Even Charlotte sang a beautiful song in French for Alice.
"Thank you all for coming. Thank you for your gifts and your wishes of a long, wonderful life together." Alice said smiling, then, the Opera House doors opened, and two people walked in. They were obviously Vampires to anyone who knew one.
A tall man, blonde hair, striking honey eyes, thin face, a smile which light up the room quite well. He was dressed in a tux and he was pale white, which was expected.
The woman was short, small, but plump. She had caramel colored hair, a heart shaped face and big honey eyes, the same as her friend next to her. She was dressed in a light pink, silk dress. They were wealthy by the looks of her expensive taste.
The one thing that caught Bella, Alice, Rosalie, and Jasper's attention which astonished them all. The Cullen Crest was upon the woman's neck, and the man's ring.
Edward and Emmett's parents.
So, what ForbiddenWords has neglected to tell you is that she wrote this chapter all by her little lonesome. She and I have agreed that ForbiddenWords will finish up the story by herself. I no longer have the time that I used to have, what with college stuff going on and I'm afriad it's an effort simply to write a single chapter for me. So ForbiddenWords will continue writing as phenomenally as she always has! I thought everyone deserved to know. - Oriana
