"Emma?" I heard behind me as I looked and saw Kate up the tree in the same fashion as me, looking at me with concern. She must of smelled something wrong as well, as I looked in front of me again in the same direction of the scent. Whoever it was, or whatever it was, it was gone now.

"Someone was here that shouldn't of been." I said aloud, breathing in the area once more to see what I could catch. But all I could breathe in, was pine and the cool mountain spring water, along with the scent of the Denali Coven and The Cullen Family. I looked back at Kate, seeing what should would say.

"It must of been a nomad passing through the area. They must of caught our scent and fled." Kate suggested to me, having me nod my head and think that was more acceptable as a idea. But as she climbed back down to the floor, I still had the feeling in my stomach, the feeling like someone was in fact out there watching me. I decided to not think of it anymore, since I should be enjoying my time with the family.

I slid down the tree and stood next to Kate, seeing her survey the area as we walk through the woods together.

"I don't think it was a nomad, it didn't smell like vampire." I replied to her aloud as we walked.

"Whatever it was, it's long gone. I shouldn't worry about it, since there's a whole flock of us out here and only one of whatever it was." Kate explained to me, having me nod my head. I knew she was telling the truth, since we are in fact vampires? But what if it was a human, not thinking about where they were. Pushing the notion to the back of my head, I pushed my hair away from my eyes form the wind blowing it in my face.

"Tell me Emma, what is your favorite thing to hunt?" Kate asked me in a light tone, having me smile from there mere thought of the animal.

"Grizzly bear. Emmett got me hooked, I blame him." I said to her in a laugh, seeing him smile a beautiful grin. I sniffed the air and I could smell one, miles away and I smiled widely.

"Speaking of bear…." I said to her in a teasing tone, having her look over at me with a raised eyebrow.

"First one there wins." She said in a challenging tone. I grinned at her, the both of us not moving and waiting for the first one to run. She then bolted.

"You're on."

It was a peaceful night in the Cullen house, the snow was falling lightly onto our home as the whole family was in the living room, doing our own activities. Emmett and Rosalie were playing a intense game of chess, and from what I could see Rosalie was winning. Esme was sewing a new blanket together near the fire next to Carlisle, who was studying another set of medicine books that date back to the late 14th century. Jasper and Alice were both out hunting together that night, Edward volunteering to help them both with the new diet. I was glad that Edward was helping out the new members of our family.

I was playing a new song from Bach on my cello, something harder for me to work on, as Sam was working on a piece to his boat. It was very content in the house, the sounds heard were coming from me and my cello, and the fire going in the fireplace.

"Check mate." I heard behind me, Rosalie's voice filled the air. I smiled as Emmett groaned from his spot.

"I'm not getting any better at this." He said in almost a defeated tone. Rosalie giggled as I played another section of the piece, this part was going much slower and more sensual.

"You will in due time, love." Rosalie said aloud to Emmett, having me look back without looking at the piece of music in front of me. Rosalie leaned over the chess table and kissed Emmett on the lips, Emmett smiling through the kiss as they both got the board reset for another game. I looked back in front of me and saw Sam walk over to me, placing his piece that he was working on away on the table. He smiled down at me, having me see him move some of the hair on my shoulder away so he can rest his hand there.

"Are you happy?" He asked me, his voice was smooth and genuine. I saw him squat down to my level as I kept playing, both of our faces lit from the fire in front of us.

"Very much so." I replied to him, seeing him grin from ear to ear from my reply, "Are you happy?"

"I am." Sam replied to me, having me lean up to sneak in a kiss. Our kiss only last a mere moment, but it was one of the sweeties kisses he ever gave me. He pulled away from me, having me look at him with a curious look

"What?" I asked him, seeing him pause for a moment before going on with what was on his mind.

"I was thinking….about our wedding." Sam said to me, having me stop playing and look at him directly. It was interesting that he was thinking about the wedding, since that was one of the things I was indeed thinking about. But for Sam to think about it and vocalize it first, that was rare.

"What were you thinking about?" I asked him aloud, placing the cello carefully on the floor and facing him.

"I'm rather curious, as to how it will work out, the wedding I mean. Haven't you thought about it yourself?" He asked me, having me look down for a moment before looking back at his golden eyes.

"I have, but not as intensely as you have. There was never really a good time to start planning a wedding, Sam." I said to him in a genuine tone, seeing him agree with his with his eyes and the nodding of his head.

"I can help." I heard next to us, having the both of us look over at Esme who stopped stitching and faced us. She was smiling, her ever charming smile was something I loved about her. She was in fact my mother now, since I did loose Wendy.

"I can help plan the wedding, if that's what you want." Esme said aloud, all of the room standing still from their activities and looking at the three of us and our conversation. I was beyond blessed to have had Esme in my vampire life, and she was willing to plan a wedding for the both of us. I couldn't find the proper words as I grabbed Sam's hand in mine, fighting my ability from harming him because of the excitement.

"Are you sure, Esme? You don't have to." Sam said in a reassuring tone. But Esme shook her head, having me feel more love towards her.

"I insist. You are part of the family, you have been for awhile. It would be my honor to prepare your wedding, since I see you as my children." Esme explained to the both of us. I shot up from my chair, walking over to Esme who got up from her couch as well. I wrapped both arms around her, fighting my ability once more from hurting my mother as I hugged her close. She hugged me back, having me smile so widely.

"I can't find the real words to express how amazing you are, as my mother." I said to her as I pulled away and looked at her face. She still had the same smile as a mother would have: pure love. She shook her head as I saw Sam come over. I moved out of the way in order for her to be hugged by Sam, who almost lifted her up from the ground because of his height.

"Thank you so much Esme." Sam said to her in a warm tone, having Esme pull away and smile at the both of us. I clutched Sam's open hand in mine.

"It's my pleasure, really. I love planning these types of things anyways." Esme replied in a smile, "And I suggest we get started on the planning, and soon."

"You're planning the wedding, Esme?" All of our heads turned towards the back door, seeing Alice, Jasper and Edward coming into the house. Alice looked at Esme with curiosity, a smile on her face as Jasper looked back at Edward as if he was confused with the situation.

"I am, yes. For Sam and Emma." Esme replied back to Alice. I smiled at Alice, Sam looking over at the three of them as well. Alice walked over towards us and stood next to me.

"May I help! I love planning parties and get togethers! Oh please, can I help?" Alice asked both Esme and myself. Esme looked over at me, wondering what my thoughts there on the notion of Alice helping her out. In all honesty, I did not mind at all. It seemed like a fun way to get the wedding planning done faster. Plus, they would get to know Alice a bit more. I Smiled and noted my head.

"I don't mind at all." I replied to her, hearing her squeal and giving me a big hug. I was taken back by it, trying had snot to hurt her by my ability. She pulled away and clasped her hands together in front of her with a determined look on her face.

"I know exactly how it will look!"

I walked down the aisle in the small chapel Esme found in the outskirts of Denali in Alaska. There were red roses in my boutique and my hair was in loose curls cascading down my back underneath my veil. I was wearing a elegant wedding gown that had laced sleeves that covered most of my back and my arms to my hands. MY make up was done by Rosalie, who made it so simple since I was already a vampire and had the beauty trait going. But my mind was gone when I saw Sam in his suit and tie, staring at me intensely.

True to her word, Alice helped plan the wedding with Esme. She planned the food to be served, along with the music that was set since our wedding was so small. The only guests that were in attendance was the Denali Clan, and some vampires Carlisle knew from decades before. Esme planned the flowers, found my wedding dress for me and hiring the pastor. Rosalie helped with hair and make-up and the rest came along flawlessly.

Sam looked beyond handsome in a black suit and tie, his hair smoothed back and a wide smile on his face. I never thought of being a vampire who was married, since being in this life mean damnation. It did, for awhile. Up until I met Sam and saw how he viewed his life. He viewed it as a opportunity to actually live, to do better than be did before, and to discover new things. He made me change my mind about my life, and I found no other reason to not marry him then and there.

The reception was held back at out home outside in the backyard, since it was a cool winter night. The vampire, whom were all the guests, could in fact handle the cold and we had drinks and dancing outside in the area near the forest. I was glad to have the Denali family with us once more, along with meet new vampires that Carlisle has known for years. One of them was named Alistair, who was a English Vampire that Carlisle has known for many many years. He was more isolated from the group, which was sad for me since I wanted to meet and get to know him. But he was nice none the less, and the reception was going off without a hitch.

Sam and I danced together for the first time as husband and wife. Sam, holding me protectively and close to him, made me feel so safe as he would do when we would hug together. It didn't matter that we were dancing in front of our guests, officially a married couple.

"You look beyond beautiful, Emma Chang." Sam said to me as he looked down at me with a big grin. I smiled back, loving the sound of my new last name.

"And you looked divine in that suit of yours, Sam Chang." I replied back to him, seeing him kiss my head in a loving way. I rested my head against his chest, breathing in the scent I grew to love. All that mattered is that we were finally husband and wife. I can call him mine, officially that is. We would sneak in a kiss or two while we danced and I got to dance with the rest of the males in the family.

Sam went off dancing with Esme as I was dancing with Edward. Since the both of us looked like in hair and face, it was rather odd to see the "twins" dancing together.

"I'm happy for you, Emma. You and Sam make a great couple as husband and wife." Edward said to me in a happy tone, a smile on his face. I could tell he was sad that he was alone, but he was still happy for the both of us. I patted him on the shoulder as we swayed back and forth together.

"Thank you, Edward. And who knows, one day you'll find someone who is worthy of your time, since I know you are so hard to please." I teased him, seeing him grin at me and laugh as we danced.

"I'm not that hard to please Emma, you know that." Edward said to me in a joking tone. I knew he meant well, but deep down he had the sense of loneliness inside. And Edward, as stubborn as he was, never wanted to show it with the family and have it go public. I only wished that someone would take good care of him, as Sam did to me.

"Such a stunning display." We both turned our head and saw someone whom we did not expect. Standing at the edge of the years, clad in a dark cloak and a sinister, was one person that I truly hated.

Demetri.
