Chapter 4: Wedding of Wishes.

I sat at the computer typing, a million of ideas rushing into my head. I stared at the screen as if I were having a staring contest with it and stopped. Reality came flooding back to my mind. That was exactly why there were a million ideas hitting me. I wanted to escape reality. I started typing again, saying everything that was going across the screen inside of my head.

It has already been a month since Jacob's proposal, and it was the night of the rehearsal. After this was the bachelor and bachelorette parties. Jake had told me he didn't want a bachelor party, but was insisting that I go t the bachelorette party.

"Why in the name of god do you want me to go to a bachelorette party for?" I asked, looking over my shoulder as I pealed a sink full of hard boiled eggs to make devilled eggs to go with dinner that night.

"I just want you to get a chance to have fun. This will be the last time you get to have a normal, single experience." He replied, wrapping his arms around my waist, laying his chin on my shoulders. I lifted a devilled egg up over my shoulder and put it into his mouth.

"I'm not having a bachelorette party unless you have a bachelor party." I replied as he chewed up his egg. I popped one into my mouth. He swallowed and shook his head.

"It'll be a waste of time for me, not like I'll actually have fun." He replied, licking his lips, kissing my cheek. I wiped off the spit and giggled.

"Ah because of the imprinting, yes, I'm guessing going out to a strip joint while having the imprinting problem would be like scooping up bread crumbs into a tiny pile on the counter, then swiping them all onto the floor in the end." I smiled at him. He laughed.

"Yeah, I guess so." I shrugged my shoulders.

"But do you really want to trust me out in a club with a bunch of guys? What if I came home and the third day of the honey moon you find out I'm pregnant and we hadn't had sex yet?" I tried. He cocked an eyebrow and smiled.

"I guess that's why you can't have kids then." He snorted. I laughed dryly and nodded.

"Oh yeah…what if I brought home a scorching case of herpes? Or AID's?" I looked back at him, seeing what he'd do now with that one out in the open. His eyes opened wide as his face went through a motion of like…twenty expressions in one sitting.

"I…don't think we can get STD's May, first off, our body heat might actually kill the disease, and Vampire's don't have blood to transfer the disease anyway. Those are my theories." He replied. I smiled at him.

"But what about me? I might be able to get it because my skin is human temperature and I have blood in me." I smiled and turned to face him. He thought it over.

"Should we ask Carlisle?" I smiled and shook my head, a wicked grin stretching across his face. Turning he made a dash for the stairs; I followed, racing him up the steps. He tripped me up by grabbing my ankles and pushing me into the steps. We loved getting Carlisle riled up with questions like this. Another mystery for him to solve.

"May! Get your butt in here so I can get you ready!" Alice hollered. I stood up and shook my head, dashing to the bathroom. This was it. The end of my regular life. I didn't want to go. I didn't want to do this yet. Not yet. I opened the door and walked in. My mother, Rose and Alice were all buzzing around in white dresses. I sighed.

Grabbing my arm Alice pulled me into the middle of the room and tore at the towel that was wrapped around my body. I whined and let it drop to the floor. Rosalie slapped a strapless bra and a pair of spaghetti string underwear into my chest.

"Put those on." She barked. I let them fall to the floor and lazily slid my legs into the holes, pulling the underwear up and over my butt. "Come on, today little girl!" Rose rolled her hand around. I sighed and grabbed the bra, jerking my chest into it and looked at them. I didn't want this to happen. Not right now.

"Did you remember your vows?" My mom questioned grabbing the dress, sliding it up over my head as Rosalie reached forward to do my hair.

"Unfortunately." I muttered, lifting my arms and dropping them again once she had the dress in place.

"What do you mean unfortunately? Hairspray." Rose questioned, holding her hand out. Alice snapped the hairspray into her hand and continued to fix up the right side of my dress.

"I mean, I'm no where close to being ready for this you guys. No where close." I replied as my mother reached down and grabbed the center of my bra, and pulled my breasts up. Alice zipped up the dress in the back.

"But you were complaining how you wished it could have been Jacob when you were marrying Seth." My mother replied. I looked down at the floor. They all stopped.

"Good going Bells." Alice mumbled as they all progressed forward into making me look the part. I looked up at myself in the mirror as my mother and Alice fixed the frills on the chest of the dress. I looked at my up do, accenting the baby blue of the dress. My thick frames were a dark red. They didn't match my dress at all. I looked at my tall, thin figure, my small breasts, my long torso, how my mom had to stand on her tippy toes to keep the nozzle of the hairspray far enough away so as not to drown the curls. I was hideous.

Although many others had said I had become a beautiful young woman, Sam, Jared, my father, Emmett, Jasper, Carlisle. Even Alex had said I was gorgeous and he never commented on how women looked unless he was making fun of them. He didn't know how to point out the good things in a picture, but I did, and I had none of them. I was scraggily, and thin, and had no definition. The only thing slightly pretty about me was my face, my slightly narrow eyes, my high cheek bones, my small, slightly pudgy nose, my full lips in which my upper lip was slightly bigger. My eyes were a beautiful blue, but that's all I had. I didn't know how they had gotten a swan from this ugly duckling.

"Did you get a hold of him?" I whispered, looking down at the floor, away from my glaring reflection in the mirror.

"Who hun?" My mother asked dumbly. As if she didn't know who I was talking about. The one person I wanted the most in the world right now to be with me. The one person I wanted to hold at this very minute, and to see his baby-ish smile staring up at me, with that shimmering russet skin which seemed to glow more in the moon than in the sun.

The boy who's voice sounded to me like the rushing water from a waterfall when you were dieing of thirst, the beeping of a microwave when you were hungry. The sound of a mothers voice when you are a stranded, lost child, alone in the city. The soft fingertips that grasp you tightly but never leave a bruise. The lips that peck against yours and burn away all of your defenses even though you had parted. But right now there was only one way I remembered him. His voice was like the wound that never healed right in a motor biking accident. There was no touch, very little smell that was damp with salt, and the feeling of the wetness on his cheeks as it evaporated. That's how I remembered him. He was that stranded lost child now, and there was no mother's voice to calm him.

"Seth." I replied. She stopped and looked at me, her teeth prodding at her bottom lip. She shook her head.

"I'm sorry sweetheart, no one was able to get a hold of him, he hasn't changed back in so long, and no one knows where he is." Her words sunk in. I knew it. I forced a smile and looked down, letting my bangs cover my face. A tear trickled down my cheeks. They were quiet. They didn't move, as if they were trying to make it seem like they weren't there. I gasped as that one tear pulled down the others in a gushing rain. My ribs heaved as I shook my head, pushing my hands to my face, ashamed that I was crying over someone that wasn't my soon-to-be husband. "Oh baby." She whispered and hugged me. I cried into her shoulder, whispering how unfair I was to him, how impossible I was. A knock on the door echoed through the bathroom. Alice quickly leapt over the basket of needles and cloth and locked it.

"Who is it?" She called.

"The luckiest man in the world." Jake said from the other side of the door. My guilt worsened. I started crying harder. Alice looked back at me with sympathetic eyes as Rose wrapped her arms around me. "Is…is Mayella crying?" Jake whispered. Alice nodded her head as I let off a small squeal. I couldn't keep holding onto it.

"She's really going at it too." Alice said softly.

"Let me in." He demanded softly.

"I can't, you're not supposed to see her in her dress before the wedding." She replied, leaning against the door.

"It's just a rehearsal! Let me in so that I can comfort my wife!" He demanded again, only more solidly. His voice had that alpha sound to it that was easy to pick up. She sighed and stepped away from the door. I pulled away from my mother and unlocked the door pulling it open. There was my groom, standing in a black tux, his hair had newly been cut. I cried and wrapped my arms around him, kissing him deeply. He wrapped his arms around me tightly and stepped forward, pushing me against the wall.

"Seth isn't coming." I cried, our lips still attached.

"He loves you May. He could never hurt you, remember that." He replied, kissing me again. His hot lips burned at mine like fire. His tongue dragged across my bottom lip in a desperate kind of way, sending flames throughout my body. I pushed my tongue into his mouth, kissing him deeply.

"I don't want to do the rehearsal." I whispered, looking away from him, turning my head as he leaned forward to kiss me again, his lips striking my jaw bone.

"We can skip it if you guys don't think you'll mess up tomorrow." My mom replied. Jake looked at her. I kissed at his jaw bone, hungry for his attention to get my mind off of Seth.

"I don't know, I've never been married, I'm not sure how this will run through." He replied, slightly breathless as I lightly bit the flesh on his neck.

"You can have the house to yourselves to spend the last single day of your lives together alone?" My mother opted. He stopped to consider it. I bit his nipple through his shirt, making him growl.

"I can suffer!" He hissed, pushing me against the wall, kissing me. My mother sighed and stepped forward. Grabbing the zipper she unzipped the dress and pulled it down and off of my feet.

"Alright everyone! Cancel the rehearsal and get the hell out so that May and Jake can practice their Pre-marital sinning one more time!" Alice hollered, grabbing all of her stuff, walking out. I could hear the wolves grumble. A few of them commenting on how they wanted to see Jake get flustered and trip over himself out of nervousness. It took my father saying how he was going to be twice as bad in the actual wedding seeing how he hadn't had any practice, and all of the pressure and junk to make them happy and leave. I closed my eyes and held my breath as Jake kissed me. Suddenly the door shut and everything was quiet. No heartbeats, no breathing. We were alone.

"Wow, everyone is confident in me." Jake joked, kissing my lips gently. I smiled and shook my head.

"They just think it's funny seeing someone getting married the first time." I shrugged my shoulders and kissed him again. "I'm not going easy on you tonight Jake." I whispered, nipping at his earlobe. He laughed and pulled his head away.

"Shouldn't we do something, I don't know…romantic?" he looked at me seriously. I pulled away and cocked an eyebrow. Jake? Romantic? Who died?

"Like what?" I questioned. He smiled.

"Well, we have the whole house to ourselves all night. Eng and his group plus our pack are probably either at Jared's or Sam's –or both- and your family are probably going to go hunting or something for the night to make sure they're stocked up for tomorrow." He replied. "Plus we have that new pool just begging to be used." I smiled and nodded. I stepped away from him and itched my chin.

"You're right, tonight is a beautiful night to go skinny dipping." I replied, looking out the window at the stars. He gasped.

"S-skinny d-dipping?" He stuttered. I looked back at him confused.

"yeah, why?" He looked down, his face deepening in color.

"Like, naked?" He pressed. I slowly nodded, my eyebrows furrowing in the center.

"That's usually what skinny dipping is." I stared at him as his eyes screamed out for help. "Jake, are you afraid of getting naked in front of me?" I questioned, not understanding why he was acting like this. He gasped.

"Well…yeah, kind of." He replied.

"Jake! We have sex for god's sake!" I hollered at him.

"Yeah, but we're usually in the dark! I know you can't see that well in the dark, especially not with a blanket on!" He whimpered in return.

"But what about when you get naked to phase?" I questioned, my voice squeaking a bit.

"I usually do that to the side of you or behind you because I know you don't pay attention to what happens unless it's right in front of you." He replied sheepishly. I gaped and clicked my teeth together. He was right. I didn't pay attention to what happened to the sides of me unless it was a life threatening situation.

"Tonight, I'll make sure you're never skittish around me again." I hissed, almost evilly. Turning around I headed out of the bathroom and down the stairs. Cutting through the living room I made my way to the back door. The air was slightly chilly that night; the grass was wet from earlier when it rained. I stepped out and examined the table. Jake followed sheepishly and went over to stand by the pool, looking in the deep, clear water. I looked back at him, his skin sparkling in the moonlight and the patio lamps around the pool. I smiled and took off my glasses, laying them on the table. Reaching down I grabbed the clip to my bra and unclipped it putting that on the table as well, followed by my underwear. I took all of the hair clips out of my hair and looked back at Jake who was still standing on the edge, staring deep into the pool. I saw that he had changed into a pair of jeans, leaving me to wonder where he put his tux.

Smiling I crouched down a bit and closed my eyes. I ran at him, he turned around but right as he saw me coming, I jammed my shoulder into his stomach and sent him flying backwards into the pool. I started laughing as I saw his expression the moment he was engulfed completely by the liquid. It was a deep pool, so deep that at night the bottom couldn't be seen unless the pool lights were on as well.

I laughed and looked around. He was no where to be seen. I felt my smile slowly start to fade as I focused my eyes. I could just barely see his outline on the bottom of the pool. He wasn't coming back up.

"Jake?" I questioned, starting to panic. "Jake?" I called out again. He still didn't come up. He'd been down there for almost three minutes. My heart started to pound. What if he couldn't swim? What if that was the reason he'd been looking in the water like that for so long! "Jake!" I screamed. Suddenly his head broke through the surface. He grabbed my wrist and pulled, sending me flipping over him, landing face first in the water. I screamed as water gushed down my throat. The water cold to the touch. I could hear him laughing and rubbing it in up above the surface. I glared at him under the water, watching him kick his legs to stay afloat. Diving down lower I came up underneath him and grabbed his pants, ripping them clean off, boxers and everything. I smiled victoriously as I deposited them on the other side of the pool, the darkest, deepest side. I came up to the surface.

"May! Get my jeans right now!" He barked. I looked at him, noting the bossy tone in his voice.

"No." I replied, swimming forward.

"May, get my jeans now!" He barked again. I dove under the water and swam around him, popping up behind him. I wrapped my legs and my arms around him, laying my chin on his shoulder.

"Why?" I questioned. He gasped at my touch and closed his eyes, trying to keep his head above the surface. "Anything important in there?" I questioned. He looked back at me. "Wallett?

"No." He replied.

"Cellphone?"

"No."

"Drivers license?"

"No"

"Credit cards?"
"May, I'm not a Cullen, I don't have credit cards." He glowered at me. I smiled and kissed his neck.

"Then they can wait till morning my love." I whispered, causing his breath to stop short. I let go and swam around him for a little. He just smiled and watched me. Swimming off to the side of the pool I sat on a cement shelf –that was used as steps for the humans- that was a good three feet under water. The water still came up to my shoulders. He swam over, his strides professional as he sat next to me and brushed the water out of his long hair. I smiled and looked up at the sky as he rested his arm behind my head.

"Beautiful night out tonight." He replied. I nodded. Tomorrow was the day. Tomorrow was the Day I became Mayella Black. I scowled at the name. It didn't sound very good. Renesmee Black. My face warped like I had eaten a raunchy pair of underwear. That sounded worse. Mayella Clearwater. That sounded like it fit so well. Renesmee Clearwater. Sounded like a toilet bowl disease.

"Jake?" I whispered, resting my head against his shoulder, listening to the singing of the crickets and the frogs around the pool. He didn't say anything. "After a while, I'm going to have to kill myself." I whispered. He looked at me, his eyes wide.

"Have you been feeling depressed lately?" He chuckled dryly, but I was serious. I shook my head.

"No, what if you want to carry on? What if you want to date someone else for a while? Your imprinting won't allow it, so in order for you to see someone else, I'll have to die." I looked down at the water. He shifted and grabbed my face in his hands.

"May, with my imprinting on you, I'll never want to see someone else." He replied, resting his forehead against mine. "Unless…you want to see someone else after a few years." He looked at me, his expression hurt. I looked terrified. How had he drawn that conclusion.

"No! I never want to leave you! Never!" I screamed, grabbing his wrist. He leaned forward and pressed his lips against mine.

"Then don't. I will never tire of being with you May. Every time I wake up, I fall in love with you more and more each day. My life would suck without you." He smiled. "You're the best thing that's ever happened to me, Mayella Black." A tear came to my eyes as I leaned forward and kissed him.

"Even in death our love goes on." I whispered. I love you, Jacob.

NFS

I woke up tangled in the sheets and Jacob's long body. His eyes were shut, his legs curled up underneath what was left on the bed. I felt absolutely wonderful. I smiled and stared at him, my husband. His lips twitched in sleep as his breathing became ecstatic. A bad dream perhaps? I leaned forward and pressed my lips against his slightly parted, twitching ones. His muscles tensioned, and then a hot hand grabbed my shoulder. His lips moved against mine lazily in return. I pulled away to find his creamy chocolate eyes staring at me. I smiled.

"Good morning, my love." I whispered, moving his hair out of his face. He smiled and stretched, his legs going well over the end of the bed. His hair was messy and almost matted looking, same as mine. We must have gone to bed with wet hair last night.

"Good morning, my angel." He whispered in returned grabbing my hand, kissing my fingertips. I was in heaven, staring at my Cherub, I was in heaven. Suddenly the door flew open, causing both of us to jump out of our skin. Rosalie and my mother rushed in and grabbed my arms, dragging me off of the bed. We were both screaming. Jake and I.

"Nice package." Alice chimed before leaving the room. My mom and aunt dragged me across the hallway naked in front of everyone. I screamed and started throwing my arms over my exposed parts. "Step away from the Mayella!" Alice screamed, jumping up and down in front of me, waving at everyone to go the other way. My father and Emmett slipped into the room I was just abducted from and grabbed Jacob. The sound of a lamp shattering could be heard as the room filled with hollering.

"Oh no! They're breaking furniture!" Esme whimpered, walking forward to stand in the doorway. She squeaked and covered her eyes as Emmett and my dad pulled Jake out of the room. Opening the door my mother and aunt shoved me inside the bathroom. Rose ran a brush through my hair as my mom turned the shower on. Grabbing my arm she pushed me in. I tripped over the step and hit the wall. Grabbing the shampoo and soap my mom proceeded to wash me down. Once finished she pulled me out and instantly my aunts were there drying my hair off with two hairdryers, my mom towel drying the rest of me with a big green towel.

"What's going on!" I barked, still half asleep.

"You only have a limited time to get ready." My mom shouted over the hairdryers as she put the towel on the rack.

"I brought the dress." Esme walked in and handed it to my mom.

"Cut the air." My mom instructed. At the same exact time my aunts shut off the hairdryers and reached forward, pulling my arms over my head. My mom threw the dress over my head and pulled it down, straightening it out. Instantly Alice and Rosalie went to work on my hair.

"What time is it?" I questioned.

"Twelve thirty." Alice replied, a smile on her face. Twelve thirty! The ceremony starts at two! I screamed.

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier!" I squealed as Rose slid the veil in place. I snapped the clips down to hold them in my hair.

"We thought you'd like your sleep after all of the torturing you and your husband did to each other last night." Rose tease, patting my shoulder. My jaw dropped.

"Was dad watching!" I hissed, looking at mom. She nodded, not seeming to thrilled about it.

"He wanted to make sure Jake didn't do anything stupid to hurt you or cause any physical flaws that would make you look like an abuse victim during your wedding, but apparently he over looked some." She pointed to bruises all over my arms and my neck.

"Oh wow, that's…awesome." I smiled. "At least that's hot it felt." I snickered. She nodded again.

"Yep, your father found that out too." My jaw dropped again. He…could feel…what Jacob…felt.
"Eww!" I squealed. "Dad indirectly had sex with me!" I shivered and shook my head. My aunts patted my shoulders.

"Well, now you only have Carlisle, Emmett, and Jasper to go before you start working on the women." Alice giggled. I looked at her confused, then remembered out little who would you screw game in the mountains. I laughed disturbed.

"Don't remind me Alice." Mom looked at me confused, but decided it was best not to ask questions.

"Alright, do you have your vows memorized?" Rose asked, sliding a few barrettes into my hair. I nodded.

"Yep." Downstairs I could hear that my father and Jake were having the same question, only a lot more loudly and demanding.

"Do you have your vows memorized?" Emmett hollered at him.

"Yes! Stop screaming at me! I'm standing in front of you!" Jake hollered back.

"Recite them!" Emmett snarled. Silence.

"No! May will hear them!"

"Say them in your head!" My father growled. I lifted my foot and stomped on the floor a couple times.

"Stop screaming at him! You'll make him nervous and he'll pee on the carpet!" I hollered. My mom, Alice and Rose started laughing. I could hear the other wolves start laughing as well as well as Carlisle's soft chuckle down the hall.

"Thanks baby!" Jake hollered up.

"You're welcome!" He knew I was only joking, which made it that much better. Smiling I looked up into the mirror as the three girls buzzed around me finishing up the last touches. "Wait." I held my hand out, stopping them; Alice looked at my hand and nipped at my fingers. I pulled my hand away and glared at her. "This isn't the right dress." I replied. They looked at it. Rose shook her head.

"What do you mean?"

"This isn't the right dress. This isn't the dress I had on last night." I looked at it in the mirror, not being able to take my eyes off of it. It was baby blue with white lace and a light blue ribbon that Alice tied around my neck.

"That was the rehearsal dress May, do you really think I'm going to send you out in the actual dress?" Alice laughed. I looked at her feeling kind of…stupid.

"Then why wouldn't you let Jake in the first time he wanted to come in?" I questioned, recalling her say he couldn't see me in the dress before the wedding. She shook her head.

"Rehearsal May, I figured I'd rehearse that incase he did the same thing today." She giggled and went back to tending to my dress. Lifting my feet my mom slid on baby blue wedge shoes and laced the ribbon up my calf. For some odd reason, they had an obsession with shoes like this, and dresses that were short in the front that had a long train.

"Alright, ready!" Mom hollered. Grabbing me she pushed me out the door to where my father was standing. I ran into him. Grabbing me he steadied me and smiled a sincere smile. It was already one thirty. The bathroom door shut and only seconds later my mom, Alice, Esme and Rose were in baby blue bridesmaid dresses with tiny bouquets. They ran forward and lined up on the steps in front of me, Jessie came up the stairs and made her way to the back. A line of female vampires, then a wolf, then the mutt, then a male vampire. Nice. We stood there as Carlisle ran up past us, then back down stopping by Esme to give her a kiss.

"Ready?" He asked. She nodded. He smiled and looked at me. "You look beautiful, Mayella." I smiled and did a little bow with my head.

"And you look hot as always Granddaddy dearest." I giggle. He laughed and shook his head, heading the rest of the way down the stairs. I took deep breathes as my heart raced. I wondered how Jake was feeling.

"He was right May," My father said beside me. I looked at him confused. "You look beautiful, no, breathtaking. Simply gorgeous." He commented. I grunted.

"That's the last time I'm having sex with someone with a readable mind anywhere within the same state you're in." I grumbled. The music started playing and my mom, and aunts made their way down the stairs, their steps full of grace. We waited until they reached the bottom of the stairs before we descended.

"I'm serious May; I didn't mean to watch you in any other way than besides a father." He whispered.

"It's called don't watch." I whispered back as we hit the bottom step. He sunk his fingers into one of the bruises. I squeaked and looked down.

"Don't watch, I hope you know only our family and the wolves will know why you have these bruises. No matter how strong you are as a human, the only way you can leave bruises on someone is if you hit them, and that's what it seems like to them." He replied.

"It's none of their damn business." I growled. He let off a small chuckle.

"That sounds like something he'd say." We stopped at the back door and waited for the bridesmaids to get down the porch steps. We stepped out, the crowd awing. The flashes of camera's flickered like wild as we descended the steps. "I don't like the name Mayella Black." My father admitted. "Mayella Clearwater sounds better." I jammed my elbow into his ribs. He grunted. He was such an idiot. I looked around and smiled at people and there, standing right where Rena was standing was Nelson. My heart broke. I had to find her. I had to find her so that we could both be at rest. I shuffled my feet through light blue petals, then remembered that last night we hadn't had these bagillion roses and ribbons up.

"When did you guys put the decorations up?" I asked, looking at my father. He smiled.

"Last night when you were having sex. We figured that'd be the best time to do it." My jaw dropped. They were outside while we were doing it? I looked away from him and at Emmett who had a large, mocking smile on his face. I glared at him. I looked around, my eyes wandering, searching for something, for someone. He wasn't there. I looked away from the crowd. I guess my wishes can never come true after all. I let a tear trickle down my cheek, my face hidden by the veil. Even if he was here to throw eggs at me I'd be happy.

Reaching the front, my father handed me off and went to the back of the line of men up front. There I was, staring into the beautiful face of my lover. My heart shook with uneasiness as the urge to press my lips against his overwhelmed me. The preacher started his sermon. I stared at him, drowning out all of the words, my mind focusing on the small details. His nose, his lips, his beautiful chocolate eyes. How I looked like a drown rat compared to him.

"Exchange the vows." The Preacher's voice penetrated my day dream I jumped and looked at Jake. He smiled. I smiled and nodded. Mine were going to be good this time. Mine were going to be better than last time, I swore.

"Jacob Black, through the rough times, through that pain, and sorrow, through the dusty storms that life brought me, you were there, holding out your hand to me, pulling me through. The love for you, burns inside me forever like a never ending inferno, and although I'd like to say I will love you until I die, I can't, cause really, I will love you beyond the grave, and even then shall my heart beat only for you. I vow Jacob Black, to remain faithful to you, no matter what, and never leave your side, come hell or high water; I will die, by your side." I finished off. I mainly wanted to say the word hell in front of the preacher to see what he'd do, but comes to find out it triggered tears from everyone, including my husband –excluding my family and the vampires. I watched as Jakes bottom lip trembled, his eyes glistening, his hands tightening around mine.

"Uh oh! Jake's getting all teary eyed!" Jared hollered from the crowd. People started laughing, even Jake laughed.

"Shut up, it's not my fault she's a poet!" He growled. I laughed and smiled. "My turn," He looked at the preacher. "Mines kind of long though," He warned. The preacher shrugged his shoulders.

"As long as it isn't thicker than the bible when put into writing, then go for it." Jacob smiled and nodded. Clearing his throat he turned to me.

"Mayella Cullen, meeting you was a complete turning point in my life. When I had run into you –or rather you run into me-" the wolves and my family all started laughing. Even I grinned at that. "It changed my life completely."

"It gave him brain damage!" Jared hollered.

"Shut up!" Jake hollered back. Everyone laughed. "I was sad, Mayella, alone, I didn't feel worth anything, until I looked at you I felt this barrier, pushing me closer and closer towards you. Although you didn't know it, I loved you, deeply. I wanted to carry you in times of need, to see your tears were like setting a fire inside my heart. When I had you, I felt so…whole, to see you smile was like the best thing. I want to continue making you smile Mayella. Forever, and I will break down any door, plow through any obstacle, run down any man who will keep me from making you smile, and happy. I vow, Mayella Cullen to remain loyal to you, and to be your wings when you find you have fallen to earth and can't make it back, and although it may not seem like it sometimes, and sometimes you may feel empty, remember that I will love you no matter what decision you make." I felt the tears coming on fast. Esme broke out crying, the wolves were in awe and I felt a tear trickle down my cheek. "Cause even in death, and to our final resting place, our love goes on." Everyone started clapping. He looked at the Preacher and itched his head. "Sorry I rambled a bit." He just shrugged his shoulders.

"I enjoyed it." He smiled. My jaw dropped. He was improvising! He made all of that stuff up off the top of his head and made it sound just like poetry! I should kill him after this! "Alright, do you have the rings?" he questioned. Jake nodded and turned, grabbing the rings from Sam. "Do you, Mayella Cullen take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, to love and to cherish through sickness and in health, through long winded novel like vows, to hit with a truck every few weeks?" I laughed and looked at him. Everyone started laughing. How the hell did he know? "For as long as you both shall live and guessing not live?" He looked at me. I nodded, a smile stretched across my face.

"I do." He turned to Jacob.

"And you, Jacob, the same only minus the hitting her with trucks and stuff?" Jake smiled.

"I sure as hell do." The preacher picked up his book and lightly hit Jake in the arm with it.

"Stop cussing." Jake laughed.

"Sorry." Everyone laughed.

"You may now kiss the bride, hump her leg, do a few dances, get changed and get in the car." He ended. Everyone started clapping as Jake leaned forward, pressing his lips to mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him close to me, savoring the sweet scent. Get in the car? Everyone stood up and moved the chairs off to the side. There were a bunch of kids from our school there, when I realized that we had skipped over the objections.

"Hey, you didn't ask if anyone had objections." I looked at the preacher. He sighed and leaned against the podium.

"Mayella, do you remember the last time I asked if someone had objections?" He looked at me with serious eyes.

"Oh yeah, everything caught on fire." I giggled and itched my head. He nodded and looked at Jake.

"Congrats dude, you finally got hitched after how long? 90 years?" he teased. Jake laughed. My jaw dropped.

"Wait, how do you know about Jake being…" I stopped. Jake and the preacher looked at me, then both laughed.

"You don't recognize him do you?" Jacob questioned, walking around behind me, hugging me tightly. I looked at the preacher. He had long hair and kind eyes. He was pretty, and from LA Push.

"Mr. Algar?" I gasped, when the images finally matched up. He laughed and nodded.

"Yep, Jake's pushing a hundred and looking like a teen, I'm pushing 43 and look like a grandpa." He laughed and brushed the hair out of his face.

"How do you know about Jake being a," I put my hands up on my head. He laughed again and shook his head.

"We knew each other for a long time. Hell, he used to baby sit me." My jaw dropped. He laughed and walked away. Soon everyone started coming over to me to congratulate me and everything. Emmett came over to pick on how loud we were last night.

"I thought you guys were far away." I pouted as Emmett draped his arm around my shoulders. He laughed.

"Nope, I knew you were a screamer, but what about Jake?" He snickered at Jacob who was talking to Alex. He flipped him off over his shoulder. Emmett laughed and shook his head.

"Will our bride and her father get their butts on the dance floor for the Father Daughter dance?" Mr. Algar announced. I looked back and noticed all of the chairs were placed around tables, and that there was a large, wooden floor on the ground. A dance floor. My father stepped forward with a smile and took my hand in his. He pulled me off into the middle of the floor as everyone went off to the side. Laying his hand on my hip he smiled at me, his eyes intense as if he were looking for something. A waltz turned on be before I had the chance to say anything, we were spinning.

"You look beautiful." He whispered, again for the hundredth time since I woke up, the people around us a blur as we spun around and around. I smiled.

"Thanks."

"I'm serious, I've never been more proud of you. I've been cautious but-" He stopped talking, his expression hurt. I looked at him sympathetically. "I never thought you'd be leaving me…so soon." He looked away from me. My heart broke. I didn't want to leave my father. I reached forward and hugged him, my refusal to move stopping us.

"Dad, I will always love you, and you'll never lose me." I whispered. He wrapped his arms around me tightly and squeezed. "I'll always be your baby girl." I sobbed into his shoulder. He hugged me tighter, his ribs kicking a little. Was he? Was he crying? The song stopped and he pulled away, his face hidden behind his hand. I rubbed at my face and pulled off to the side, mixing myself in with the crowd so no one could see me.

"Alright, now how about the Mother and son dance?" Mr. Algar announced, slightly hesitant. Jake stepped out and looked around. He was alone.

"Well, this sucks." He muttered. Turning he smiled and walked back to the crowd. He grabbed someone by the wrist and pulled them out to the middle of the floor. Sam. "Alright mommy lets dance!" Jake squealed, throwing his arms around Sam's shoulders. Sam laughed and cursed at him. A slow song started. They started to spin in slow circles. Jake pulled back and smiled at Sam. "You're thuch a good danther." Jake commented with a heavy lisp.

"I'm going to kick your ass." Sam replied, laughing. The crowd moved forward after that song had finished. But I couldn't dance anymore, I was to distraught. My head was killing me from getting up too fast. Smiling, Jake grabbed my hand and led me to the house. Alice was in there with my family.

"Put this on." Alice demanded, a smile on her face as she shoved a white gown in my arms.

"O…k." I muttered, walking by her and up the stairs. Shutting the door to my bedroom I unzipped my dress and let it fall to the floor. I slid the gown on and grabbed the wedding gown. I laid it on the bed and went back down the stairs. Alice was waiting by the door with two suitcases. Smiling she shoved them into my hands, opened the door and dragged me out into the yard.

"Have fun!" She squealed, then ran back inside and slammed the door. I started t he confused. Behind me the sound of a horn honking reached my ears. I turned around to see Jacob, already in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt inside of a brand new Chevy Convertible. My jaw dropped.

"Where did you get the car!" I hollered, walking forward. I saw that he had a suitcase or two in the back as well.

"Wedding gift from your father." He smiled. "Throw that stuff in the back and get it." He replied. I looked around confused as I laid the suitcases in the back and crawled into the front.

"Where are we going? Are we stashing dead bodies?" I questioned thinking that's what had to be in the suitcases. He laughed and shook his head.

"No, it's called a honey moon, and where is a surprise." He replied, stepping on the gas, pulling out into the road and off into the sunset. I hated surprises.
