Chapter 48: Mud Baths and Showers
I got out of bed at 8am, and was planning on attending Vampire Academy, as per usual, when Aunt Alice came running into the kitchen.
"Hurry up, we are kidnapping you, get ready," she squeaked.
"Who is kidnapping me, and where am I being taken," I asked, half groggily.
"All your favorite women, your Aunts the Vamps, Aunt Leah, Grandmas Esme and Sue, Kristen, Claire, Emily and your Mom," she replied.
"What is the purpose of all this?"
"The purpose, it that it is you Bachelorette Party, and Aunt Rose and I decided that it needed to be an all day and all night event. We even had Jay Jenks get you new I.D.'s for the occasion." She handed me a driver's license, which said that I was 22 years old.
"Do you really think that I can pass for that old," I asked.
"With Jay's I.D's you can," she replied wryly.
With resignation in my voice I said, "What do you want me to wear?"
"For the day, I want you to wear that red silk shirt I bought for you with your black skinned jeans and your knee high black boots. For this evening, I bought you a special outfit to change into," she replied.
"Tonight, what do you mean tonight, Jacob gets off patrol at 6pm, and I want to spend time with him," I said with panic flooding my words.
"Nessie, you will have an eternity to spend with Jacob, you can't give us girls one night?"
"Why do I feel like I am going to regret this," I said, defeated.
"You are not going to regret this; it will be a good memory."
"I thought you can't see my future," I snapped.
"No but I know you, and in a lot of ways you are just like your mother. You fight me tooth and nail on things, but then afterwards, you thank me because you enjoyed yourself. This is just another one of these times," she said smirking.
"Can you at least give me a hint of where we are going?"
"No, but wear nice, but not too seductive underwear," she replied.
"No one is going to see my underwear except Jacob," I snapped.
"Nessie, please be reasonable, and just do what I say. I am your aunt after all; I am not going to get you into trouble."
I let out a frustrated resigned huff, and then I walked into my closet to get dressed. I put on a pair of non-descript white silk panties and a matching bra that were just one step up for tidy whities. I blew my hair out with a diffuser, so that my soft bronze curls drifted gently to my shoulders, and I put on a little blush and some lip gloss before heading into the living room.
No one was assembled in the living room yet when I entered, so I snuck out the kitchen door, and called for Jacob. The large russet wolf Jacob came running up to me. He looked startled.
"Everything is fine," I said to him reassuringly. "I am being kidnapped for the day by my family and friends for a Bachelorette Party, but mine start early, we are all supposed to be leaving here by 9am."
Jacob pushed me towards the woods with his big wolf head, and I followed him into the bushes. He phased back to human as he stood there before me. His beautiful naked body stood there in front of me, and he looked frustrated, and bordering on angry.
"What do you mean, Bachelorette party," he barked
"Exactly what I said, except it can't be all that risqué' because Claire and Kristen are coming with us and they are underage. Aunt Alice did get me an older fake ID though; I am not sure what that is for."
"I don't like it," Jake snapped. "With everything going on around here right now, I don't think that it is a good idea for you to be away from me."
"I am going out with 4 vampires and one werewolf. I think we should be safe."
"I still don't like it," Jacob said, "I've heard about what happens at those type of parties, naked guys grinding on you, and sometimes things get even more carried away."
Now I was getting pissed, "Are you saying that you don't trust me? Is that why everywhere I go that you are always there, because you don't trust me to behave myself when I am out of your sight."
Jacob shook his head and said, "No Nessie, I don't trust myself to be enough for you. You might see some guy tonight and realize that I am not good enough for you."
"You idiot," I snapped, "You are the best man in the world, and I am the luckiest woman in the world, and if you don't realize that, there must be something wrong with you. I want you for eternity. I love you more than life itself. Now cut the crap and kiss me goodbye before Aunt Alice comes out here looking for us."
"I'm sorry Nessie; it just drives me crazy to be away from you, even for a day. I love you," he said, and then pushed me up against a tree and started kissing me passionately.
After several minutes, I heard loud throat clearing from the porch. "Renesmee Carlie Cullen, you better get your but up here right now or I will come down there and get you."
Jacob pulled away from me. I gave him one last tender kiss, and headed back toward the porch where my aunt was standing.
"The limo is here, and so is everyone else. We are ready to go. Please wash that tortured expression off your face Nessie, everyone is looking forward to making this day special for you, at least enjoy yourself for their sakes," Aunt Alice said.
We made our way out to the front of the house, and all the women were assembled there. Also parked in the driveway was a large stretch Hummer limousine. I noticed that the driver, in uniform complete with the hat was Uncle Jasper. That somehow made me feel somewhat more relieved. Even though I new I was going to have four vamps with me, to now know that I was going to have a fifth, and that he was a military strategist, made me feel more reassured, since it was the first time I was venturing out of the house with the threat of Yohan and the sisters.
"Congratulations Nessie," Claire said, as she ran up and hugged me. As she did this, I felt especially blessed for the first time for my rapid aging. If I were human, it would have still been at least another 10 years until I was with my Jacob. Claire seemed happy and clueless though, when it came to Quil, just as I had felt a little over a month ago about my Jacob.
"We miss you at school," Kristen said, and gave me a big hug.
"I miss school too, but now that I have 'Mono'," I said as I rubbed my belly, "Its not a good idea that I return."
"We can all finish catching up in the car. We have to make our way to Seattle by 10:30," Aunt Alice said, as she opened the door to the limo and we all climbed in.
The limousine was fully loaded. It had a flat screen TV, DVD player, playstation 3, fully stocked bar, and a basket of food which included cheeses, crackers, chips, dips, bagels, and various other foods. The limo itself was spacious and comfortable. It had plenty of room for all of us to spread out. The seats turned around in the cabin like a large C, so that we could all face each other for the entire ride.
"This is the coolest car I've ever been in," Claire said, as she grabbed a can of coke from the bar.
"Me too," I replied.
"So where is our first stop," I asked, not sure if Aunt Alice would tell me yet or not.
"Our first stop is La Bella's Day Spa in Seattle. We will be having beauty treatment all day long. Nessie, I already have you scheduled for all the treatments which you will need to prepare for the wedding. Everyone else is free to pick whatever they want," Aunt Alice replied. I had never had a spa day before, and the idea of being pampered did sound kind of sweet.
"Can I ask where our second stop will be," I pushed, knowing what her answer would be.
"You can ask anything you want, but you will not get an answer until after we are all finished at the Spa," Aunt Alice said wryly.
We talked and joked the entire way to the spa. Uncle Jasper drove quickly for a human, but not at full out Vampire speed, I assumed that was for the non-vamp passengers in the car. I ate a bagel on the way, and washed it down with some orange juice.
When we arrived at La Bella's Day Spa, I was dazzled. It looked like a movie set, the grounds were so beautiful, sculptured manicured gardens, mini waterfalls, and coy ponds. A man named Gregory, met us at the door, and said that he would be our guide for the day. He seemed very nice, and he hugged Aunt Alice and Aunt Rosalie as if they were old friends.
All of us started out with mud baths, and then the Vamps excused themselves, while the imprints and wolf had full body exfoliation followed by massages. The Vamps returned for the manicures, pedicures, and facials. I had every inch of my body, primped, massaged, and polished. For lunch they served cucumber water and little tiny sandwiches. I thought to myself when we were eating that this lunch would not have satisfied my Jacob.
By the time we left La Bella's Day Spa, it was about 5pm. We made our way out to the car, and I asked Aunt Alice where we were heading. "Nessie, can't you be patient, you'll see," Aunt Alice said as she rolled her eyes. We all climbed back into the large vehicle. I noticed that we were headed towards Port Angeles. About 45 minutes later, we arrived at the seafood restaurant where Jacob and I had enjoyed dinner about 2 weeks ago.
We walked into the restaurant, and it was decorated in pink and white streamers and had a large banner which said "Congratulations Nessie and Jacob." The room was filled now with all the important people in my life. My parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends, and most importantly, my Jacob, with his family were all there.
I ran straight into Jacob's waiting arms, "Did you know about this?"
"No, Billy kidnapped me this afternoon. Sam's pack took over the patrols so that my whole pack could be here. They told me that it is a 'Jack and Jill' shower, so both the men and the women have to go," Jacob replied, as he reached down and kissed me.
Our shower was more special than wedding showers that I saw on television. Instead of being given things like a toaster, or a microwave; we received things which were very personal from those who attended.
Billy gave me a beautiful jade necklace that had belonged to Jacob's mother Sarah. He told me that he was so blessed to have three beautiful daughter now, and gave me a strong hug.
My mother and father gave us a deed. It was too a small home in Alaska outside of Denali. They said it was so that Jacob and I could always have our own space, but be within minutes of extended family members.
Grandma and Grandpa Carlise gave us each individual gifts. I received a "grown up" Cullen Crest pendant. It was very similar to the one which Aunt Rosalie wears around her neck. Jacob received a Cullen Crest cuff, identical to the ones that my father and uncles wear.
Grandpa Charlie gave me a pear necklace, which he said was my Great-Grandma Swan's. I told him that I would wear it on my wedding day as my something old.
Aunt Alice, Uncle Jasper, Aunt Rosalie, and Uncle Emmett didn't give us a gift. They said that there gift had to be given on our wedding day.
This party had tons of food, enough to keep the entire pack happy and well fed. I enjoyed mingling with our families. We got to talk, without any of the pressure which had been on us so much in the past few weeks. It was a perfect day. I held Jacob in my arms, with pride, letting everyone who loved us know how much I loved him.
Around 10pm, people started to head home.
"Jake did you bring your car, or do we need to get a ride with someone," I asked. Aunt Alice bounded over to us instantly.
"Oh no you don't Nessie," she hissed at me, "we are just getting started. Jacob you can have Nessie back tomorrow. Actually, I think that the rest of your pack, except for Leah, has something planned for you. Kiss goodbye Nessie and head back out toward the limo."
I looked at Jacob longingly. Whatever they had planned for me, I would rather spend the night with my Jacob, luckily, and he returned the same look as did. I kissed him passionately goodbye, and Uncle Emmet made rude kissing noises around us.
Aunt Alice grabbed me by the arm and turned me toward her. She wrapped a blindfold around me and led me out of the restaurant and into the limo.
