50.
Rosalie's POV
Tomorrow was the wedding, and I had to admit, I was quietly confident.
Alice, Esme, Bella and I had gone to so much trouble to make this the best wedding ever. We were holding it in the Cullen living room, near the open fire. It was winter, and snowing, so there as no way we were holding it outside. It wouldn't have made a difference for us; Being a vampire family, but I wouldn't want to dress to drag in the snow.
The guests were only our family, plus the wolf pack. Renesmee was on loudspeaker whenever we did the planning. She was so much like Alice.. Spending way too much time with the hyper, psychic pixie.
As we speak, Alice and Esme were racing round the living room, setting up the beautiful display we had planned. It was the wedding I'd always dreamt of. I walk down the stairs, through a shrouded walkway of white roses. White chairs are going to be set up around the side. On one side, the pack, and on the other my family.
The, at the alter, was a beautiful arch. Weaved through each separate nook and crannie, was more white Roses. Esme insisted we use all the Roses we can seeing my name is Rosalie.
Bella thought it would be a beautiful idea to make the room white, just like the snow. The blazing fire would add a nice touch to the room.
My dress was simple, yet elegant; The sleeves were made of white netting, going right up to wrists. The neck line plunged down to show a little cleavage, with jewels along the edges. My golden hair was going to be fiercely wavy, cascading down my back, nearly up to my waist.
The bottom of the dress was tight fitting, accentuating my curves. It was pearl coloured; With a slight tint of cream.
Yes, the netting is extremely old fashioned, but this was the dress I'd always wished for.
The boys were all wearing matching suit; Except for Emmett. He was wearing a 3 piece, and in white..
I sighed as I went over the details in my head.
Esme rubbed my shoulders soothingly, and hushed me. It's not that I was nervous. I just wanted everything to go right. To go perfect..
"Done!" Alice squealed, jumping up and down excitingly. "We're are the guys?"
"Ugh.. Getting ready for their bucks party I think.." I said, staring forward. I stared at a swirling piece of dust moving gracefully through the invisible breeze.
I looked over at Bella, and she squeezed my hand reassuringly. "You'll be beautiful."
"Thanks, Bella. I hope I look as great as you did at your wedding." I replied, my voice sounded distracted.
She laughed, nervously in her 'Bella – rish' way.
Emmett's POV
"C'mon guys! Let's go!" I boomed, calling up the stairs, knowing even if whispered they could hear me.
Jasper, Carlisle and Edward came down the stairs, in a line. We turned to our wives, and waved goodbye. I blew Rose a kiss, and she smiled at me.
Luckily, vampires don't feel the cold. Otherwise, we'd all have 8 toes left. I crossed to the garage, knee deep in snow. I heard the guys following, as we all got into my Jeep.
"So Emmett.." Jasper began, when we reached the edge of the forest. "How does it feel?"
I knew what he was talking about, but decided to play dumb.
I had to admit I was nervous. Did I deserve her? I wasn't sure. I know she's right for me, and she means everything. Of course I wasn't getting cold feet..
"How does what feel?"
"Getting married tomorrow morning!"
I gasped at how close it really was. I'd lost track.
The past months had flown by so fast, I couldn't keep track. With all the planning and what not. And the hunting, and.. and.. the suit fittings..
"Oh, yeah.. i-it's great. I love it."
"Is someone getting cold feet?" Edward asked, and raised his eyebrows.
I early growled. "Of course not!"
They all jumped back, surprised by my answer.
"I'm just nervous, guys. Get off my back." I said. They all softened, then sighed.
"We were all nervous, Emmett. It's a normal reaction." Carlisle said, in his normal soothing manner. Thank god for him. I nodded.
"Let's just have the best Buck's party ever!" Jaz said, then a grin crept onto his lips. I whooped, my mood lightening in seconds.
"I'm surprised you don't go to strip clubs, or something." I laughed.
"When you have soul mates, it pointless." Edward shrugged, and we began running, at a fast human run. And that was VERY slow for us. We wanted to talk.
"Does it really feel that way, you know, when you find your.. other half?" I cringed at the cheesy word I used.
"Well.. No other girl appeals to you anymore. Not that they did before. I think girls more appealed to you then them." Edward said, smiling.
"I think.. I make friends with girls, when I'm just a boy, because.. It's easier. When you're young, you don't see girls like that. Or you hope you don't. It's just easier. Sure, you hold hands, you kiss their cheeks, but it's not the same as when I kiss Rose." I sighed. The other boys listened intently.
"That's an interesting theory Emmett." Carlisle said. "I fully agree."
"So do I." Edward said, nodding.
"Me 3." Jasper said, with a serious expression. "But, I was never really friends with girls till I met Alice. I was trained to help them, but not to love them," He looked down, as we all slowed to a walk. "Until Alice found me.. It's something else."
We
all nodded, as we reached the clearing that has become so
familiar.
"How did you feel, Edward before you met Bella." I
said, cocking my head to the side, so I could see his reaction.
"Well.. It's hard to explain. Carlisle witnessed it. But.. I'll try," He licked his lips, ready to start talking. "For the first decade.. I was okay with being alone. But, when Esme joined the family, and I saw her and Carlisle together, and how they acted around each other, my mind began to think. I wasn't jealous, just interested. Then, soon, after Rosalie joined the family, and she told us about what she wanted, I became lonely. Sure, I had Esme and Carlisle, but they were parents. And then, when I read Carlisle's mind, and he thought that she would be a good mate for me.. I realised he began to see how I felt. That worried me a little bit. As time went on, I noticed that Rosalie was just as lonely as me, and that saddened me a little bit. I tried to come to love her, so we were both happy—"
"You tried to get with Rose?" I asked, then smiled. I wasn't jealous, oh no.
Edward laughed, darkly. "Yes. I thought it'd solve things, but it didn't. We tried to show affection, but it was awkward. It shouldn't be like that with your partner. So, we both gave up, and settled for being alone. Then came Jasper, towing with him the little pixie.."
We all smiled at his nick name for Alice.
"But then, when I met Bella.. It's like everything suddenly became clear. I'd felt like I'd been blind. I finally understood what Jasper, Alice, Esme and Carlisle were talking about." He sighed.
We were all silent from his meaningful talk, until I broke it. "I finally understand now. Why was I so nervous before! There was no need!"
"Exactly." Edward said.
"Thanks, Eddie."
Edward sighed, at what I called him. "Can we please hunt now?"
We all nodded, and sniffed the air. I caught the sent, and got into my crouch, that now felt easy as breathing.
I spotted Carlisle sucking dry a bear next to me, as I caught a mountain lion, and quickly sucked it dry.
Jasper and Edward were nowhere to be seen. Maybe they went a little bit south to look for other prey.
Within the time of 3 hours, I'd drank so much, I felt sluggish. My eyes were beginning to change colour, to a sort of light brown. It was a weird change blue eyes, then to red eyes. But I got used to it after a while.
Rose said I'd become even more strong and buff since I got changed, which I was cool with. I didn't mind at all.
I slurped dry 4 Deer, 2 Mountain Lions and a bear. Oh my gosh I was so full I thought I was going too explode.
I looked down at my watch. It was 6:30am.
"C'mon guys, we should get going. The wedding is at 10, and we have to get ready." I said. Edward, Jasper and Carlisle looked up, and pushed their prey off their laps.
I let out a random, but nervous laugh before we shot into the forest, at a forever astonishing speed.
By the time we got home, the rain was really pouring down like there was no tomorrow. We were all nearly soaked, as Esme and Bella shoved us into Carlisle's room to get into our suits. Our clothes dripped, and I noticed Esme nearly groan at her now wet floor. Bella slammed the door shut, and we all nearly jumped at the noise.
"Wow," I sighed. "Some girls are stressed."
Everyone nodded. "Well it is a wedding. I don't blame them."
I walked to Carlisle's walk in closet, and to the rack. There were 4 suits hanged up, neatly spread apart with a little note on the front. I grabbed the one that said Emmett, and walked back out into the main room.
"Your suits are in there guys." I said, motioning my thumb towards the closet. The guys walked in, and soon came out with their suits as well. They were all in neat black bags, with a strange label on them I'd never heard of. I shrugged, and took off my soaked shirt.
I buttoned up my white shirt, then threaded my tie through the collar. I knotted it off neatly, just how Carlisle showed me. Next, I put on my over coat, and buttoned it up. Then, I put on my white over coat. I slipped on my white pants. There. That didn't take very long.
I looked around at the other guys, who were already dressed. They smiled at me.
I smoothed down my hair, as Edward messed up his to his usual messy do. Carlisle ran his fingers through his, while Jasper did the same with his as Edward did.
Rosalie's POV
"Or right, Rose, sit down in this chair, and we'll begin." Esme said. I could hear the excitement in her voice.
I sat down, and ruffled my hair around my shoulders.
"First, the make-up. Esme, Bella and I have a wonderful plan for your make-up. Baby blue eye shadow, some smoky eye-liner, and some color to your cheeks?" Alice said, grabbing things from her make-up bag. "Sound good?"
I nodded, and smiled at through the reflection in the mirror. "Sounds wonderful, Ali."
I felt so excited today. I felt so happy. I felt so free. I'd been wanting a day like this ever since I was 18, and I was finally getting it, with the man I loved. I hope to have this experience more than once, seeing I love for people to gaze at me in awe. I smiled at the thought.
I closed my eyes, while I felt the soft brush dust against my eye-lids. I could feel Bella playing around with my hair, waving it fluffing it. Esme was adding some colour to my cheeks.
I couldn't wait to get into my dress. I felt like bouncing in my seat! I gripped the handles of the chair to keep myself grounded.
"Calm, Rosalie. We'll be done soon, and you'll be waltzing down that isle." Bella laughed. I nodded. I felt high on sugar.. Or just high.
I felt the hot press in my hair, curling it into ferocious waves. That's just how I liked it.
"Okay, I think Make-ups done. You finished, Esme?" Alice asked. Esme nodded, as they both flew out the room. To get my dress, I think.
Bella finish ed with my hair, and wrapped the cord around the curling iron's handle. She walked round to my front, and gripped my shoulders. "How do you feel?"
"Slightly high," I laughed. "But so, so excited."
Bella laughed with me. "At least your not human. It's harder that way."
I nodded. "Yes, I remember that day well."
And I really did. I remember doing Bella's hair as she dozed in and out of sleep, her head drooping like a dead flower. But Alice and I got it done, with ease.
"Are you happy, Rosalie?" Bella asked, in a serious tone. "That's the most important thing." She smiled, just as Alice and Esme came in, handling my dress with a light, careful touch. I stood up, as they helped me into my dress.
I slipped the velvet over my skin, grinning at how it felt, and looked like. They carefully lowered it over my head, making sure not to smudge or mess up my hair. I watched in the mirror as I saw my dream come to life right in front of me.
Alice, Esme and Bella beamed as they stepped back, looking me over.
"Beautiful."
"Astonishing."
"My little Rosie!" Esme cooed, and carefully kissed my cheek without smudging anything.
"C'mon, Esme, now we have to get dressed." Alice laughed, and exited the room with the 2 other girls, giggling and cooeing.
I heard a light knock at the door, and I turned around, careful not to tear anything.
"Rosalie?"
It was Carlisle. He smiled at me. "May I come in?"
"Of course, Carlisle."
He nodded, and stepped in to Alice's large bathroom. He closed the door behind him, and walked to my chair. He grabbed my right hand, and squeezed it.
"How do you feel?" He asked, his soft eyes staring into my eyes.
"I feel.. Happy."
"That's all that matters. Nervous, at all?"
"Not a bit."
He laughed, and squeezed my hand again. "That's Rosalie." He looked down. "I'd just like to say.. That I'm very glad you came into our family, all those years ago."
I knew if I were human, I would have cried. "Thankyou.. Father." I croaked back, my voice breaking.
He leaned up, and squeezed me softly around the shoulders.
I heard Esme, Bella and Alice awwwing from the door, and both Carlisle and I turned around.
Esme was wearing a similar dress to Alice; A cool baby blue colour, that went up to just above their knees. It had a high neck line, and encrusted with jewels. So that'swhy they made my eyes shadow blue. Ah...
I heard some piano flowing up from the living room, and I took a deep breath. I had chosen Alice and Bella as my.. Bridesmaid I guess you'd say. Emmett had insisted Carlisle walk me down the isle, rather than standing with him at the alter. Instead, Carlisle was going to give me away, then stand behind Emmett. Edward was our musician, and Jasper was best man. Renesmee was flower girl, to her much delight. Jacob was just an on-looker, for I'd never been very fond of the dog after the blonde jokes.
Renesmee leaped gracefully through the door, her bronze curls bobbing, with a sweet grin on her face. She wore a dress similar to mine; Just without the netting. She was holding a bouquet of white Roses.
"Now's the time!" Her sing song voice sounded. She jumped up and down excitedly, and squealed. She's been spending way to much time with Alice.
I stood up, and flattened out my dress. Carlisle held out his arm for me, and smiled. I hooked onto his arm, as we walked out of the small room.
First Renesmee would sprinkle tulip petals as she walked, being first in line. Then, Alice and Bella will walk side-by- side, arms en-twined. Lat but not least, Carlisle and I will walk.
Then, once we were there, Renesmee would take the job as ring bearer.
The long hallway stretched out in front of me, leading to the stairs. That was the beginning of the isle.
The typical but beautiful wedding song began playing, and the voices became hushed. I beamed, as Renesmee began walking in front of me.
I heard everyone aww, and the whoop of Jacob as she walked down the stairs, and came into view amongst the flowers.
It wasn't a very long walkway; In which I was sort of glad. I wanted to get to Em as fast as possible.
Alice and Bella looked back, and smiled. They both mouthed good luck, then began walking. I sighed. The best of friends.
More gasped and awws as they came into view on the stairs. Our time was coming soon!
Carlisle squeezed his arm and mine close to him, and looked at me with a reassuring smile. I beamed back.
"It's our turn," He murmured. "You ready?"
"Let's go."
We began walking, at a unbelievably slow, human, walking pace. One foot in front..
We stepped down the first steps, and everyone came into view. All of their eyes lit up, as they took me in.
I felt like the queen of the world right now. On cloud 9.
I stretched my neck up, and spotted Emmett. He stood, with his arms behind his back, grinning like crazy. He looked like he was about to burst out of his suit! But he looked so handsome!
Jasper stood behind him, with a grin as well. Alice stood by his side, then next to her, Bella. Edward was off to the left, playing, without even looking at the keys.
Before I even realised, we were already at the alter. Emmett was right in front of me. My angel..
Carlisle handed me to Emmett, and he took my hand. Carlisle moved off to the side, shooting me a quick smile before standing behind Em.
We had hired a minister, seeing no one we knew was one. Or Carlisle was probably one at some point in his 360 years, but he had more important jobs to attend too.
The minister was around 65, I guessed. His bone white hair and patchy skin gave it away a bit. Although he was human, he was oblivious to the massively tall guests, and astonishingly beautiful family.
We'd decided to have the traditional vows; Except, for like Bella and Edward, rather than 'until death do us part', 'As long as we both shall live'.
The music quieted down now, and became the background. The minister smiled, and then began.
"Your gift to each other for your wedding today has been your wedding rings - which shall always be an outward demonstration of your vows of love and respect; and a public showing of your commitment to each other."
I grinned, as Emmett and I took each other's hands. Renesmee stepped forward, with 2 small rings on a snow white cushion. I took my ring, and grabbed Emmett's hand. I slid the ring onto his wedding finger; He took his, and slid his ring onto my finger.
"I Rosalie Hale , take you Emmett Cullen , to be my wedded husband. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do us part. And hereto I pledge you my faithfulness." I said.
With my perfect vampire memory, the words were easy to remember.
"I Emmett Cullen , take you Rosalie Hale , to be my wedded wife. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do us part. And hereto I pledge you my faithfulness." Emmett said. He looked at me, and grinned. I smiled back.
"Rosalie and Emmett, if there is anything you remember of this marriage ceremony, it is that it was love that brought you here today, it is only love which can make it a glorious union, and it is by love which your marriage shall endure." The minister said, looking down at his book.
I looked down at Esme, who sat smiling and grinning, at both of us; if she were human, she definitely would have crying her eyes dry. On either side of her, was Billy and Jacob. Seeing most of our family were at the front, she was on her own. She insisted that.
I spotted Edward, walk silently, and Jacob scooted over for him. He gripped Esme's hand, and smiled at me.
The minister ran along every vow, and a slow pace. I didn't mind. I was just fine gazing into Emmett's Burgundy eyes.
"Might there be anybody opposed, to this marriage?"
The whole room was silent. I grinned at the silent.
"You may now, kiss."
I laughed, and threw my arms around Emmett's neck. He responded the same way; We were both anxious to throw our arms around each other during the whole ceremony.
I don't know how much time pasted while we kissed, but I didn't care. He pulled away, too soon, thanks to the coughing from the audience.
I remembered my bouquet, and threw it into the audience. Little Clair caught it, and smiled at me.
I thanked the minister, as he closed his book, and wished us well. He hobbled off the stage, and out the front door.
I gripped onto Emmett's hand, as we walked into the audience. Esme hugged me tight, then Emmett.
"Good luck, to the both of you! Oh Emmett it seems like yesterday we found you!" She cooed.
"I love you Mom." He said, and hugged her tight.
"Congratulations you too." Carlisle said, and hugged us both, just like Esme. He kissed my forehead, and stepped back.
Alice grabbed me, and kissed my cheeks numerous times. "Oh my gosh!"
I laughed, as she moved onto Emmett. Our hand continued to be en-twined, never going to let go.
Bella and Edward congratulated us, followed by Jasper.
"We're soo happy for you too." Bella said, and hugged me.
"Congrats, newly weds!" Jacob said, and reaching up for a high-five.
The pack were very well behaved today, for which I was grateful. I would never forgive them if they messed this up. Everyone of them greeted ad congratulated us, happily.
I spotted a strawberry blonde head in the distance. I shrieked, and pulled Emmett with me to investigate.
"Oh my God! Tanya!" I shrieked, and grabbed her into a hug. "Kate! Eleazar! Carmen!"
"Your little surprise." Emmett whispered, into my ear.
I gawked, "You did this!"
He nodded. I kissed him again, and dived into Kate's arms; She was the one I was closest too out of all the Denalis.
"Holy crow Kate!" I shrieked, and hugged her tight.
"Hey Rose, How are you. Congrats!" She laughed, and hugged me back.
"I'm fabulous!"
We let go, and I moved on to Carmen and Eleazar.
"Well catch up later." I said, and winked at Kate. "Eleazar! Carmen!"
"Hello, Rosalie!" Eleazar said, in a surprised voice. "Congratulations!"
"Thankyou!" I said, and hugged him again. God how I missed the Denali coven.
Eleazar and Carmen held hands securely. I think they were slightly phased by all the Werewolves around.
"Hi, Carmen!"
Carmen hugged me tightly, then moved back. "I'm so happy for you too."
They all moved to Emmett, shaking his hand, and hugging him tightly. After us, the coven moved to greet Edward, Bella, Carlisle, Esme, Renesmee, Jasper and Alice.
The music on the stereo began to play. Just a simple, slow rhythmic song. I looked up at Emmett, and smiled.
"Care to dance?" He asked, in a fake, British accent.
"Don't mind if I do!" I replied, and we moved on to the clear floor.
People began gathering now; Claire and Quil, Sam and Emily, Jacob and Nessie, Esme and Carlisle, Bella and Edward, Jasper and Alice..
We swayed to the music; Just slowly, not thinking too hard.. Or I wasn't.
Emmett's POV
"Don't mind if I do!"
I chuckled, as I pulled my wife onto the dance floor. Oh my God, my wife!
I felt so happy to finally be married to the girl I loved. I'd been waiting for so long! I felt like skipping round the room like a little girl!
But one thing still came to my mind.. What Edward had said during the Buck's Party..
I tried to come to love her, so we were both happy..
It didn't bother at all, oh no. I was never the jealous type at all. I was just curious.
"Hey, Rose.." I began. She moved her head off my shoulder, and looked up at me.
"Yes, husband?"
I laughed at her.
"I'm just being curious, but.. something Edward said at the Buck's party just interests me.." I said nervously. I wouldn't want to mess up this perfect moment.
We swayed to the music slowly.
"What did he say?" She asked perplexed.
"He said.. You and him, tried to be together." I said, then looked down.
Her eyes widened, as she probably remembered the time oh too well.
"Um.. Yeah.. I.. Does it bother you?" She asked. She looked a little angry actually.
"No! no, no.. I'm just curious. What exactly happened?" I said. We continued to sway aimlessly.
She was deep in thought for a second. "We.. Went out on a few dates. We never kissed, thank god." I laughed at that. "We hugged, we nearly kissed, but.. then we figured out we don't look at each other that way. More as a brother-sister relationship, you know? Sure, we hugged, we were affectionate, but it meant nothing."
I sighed. "Okay, now I understand."
"What did he say about it?" She asked.
"He said.. Both of you were unhappy, so he tried to make thing right." I said, cutting back on the details.
"Sound about right." She answered. "At least I have you now."
I nodded. "I got you Babe." We nuzzled noses, only to see someone standing in front of us. It was Carlisle and Esme.
"We would like to dance." They said, smiling at us.
I turned to Esme, before exchanging one glance with Rose. I grabbed her hand, and she put her hands on my shoulders.
"I'm so glad you found someone, Em." Esme said, as we swayed again to the different song.
"Thankyou. I'm so happy right now I'm going too explode." I laughed. She chuckled.
"That's great. My little boy.." She sighed. "I still remember your little angelic face.."
I laughed. "You don't think my face is still angelic?"
She grimaced, then pinched my cheek. "Hmm.. Not exactly."
We laughed together, as we continued to sway. I spotted Rose and Carlisle spinning around like professionals. I laughed at the thought.
"I love you Mom." I sighed. She beamed.
"I love you too, Little Emmett."
She leaned up to kiss my cheek, then let go of my hands. The song came to a close, and she thanked me.
"No, thankyou."
She chuckled. I turned around, and spotted Alice and Jasper standing in front of us expectantly.
"Oh, my little sis wants to dance with me does she now?" I laughed jokingly.
She shrugged. "It's your wedding."
I smiled, at took both of her hands. The next song began, and we started to dance.
"Nice dress, Ali." I said randomly.
"You don't look so bad yourself." She giggled. "I mean, I did dress you. Of course you look great!"
I laughed at her, then sighed. "We've had some good times, haven't we pixie?"
She nodded. "Yeah, we have. Remember when you and Bella played that prank on Eddie, then we posted the video on Youtube?"
I laughed at the memory. "Oh yeah.. Or when we tricked Jasper into thinking you loved Carlisle."
"That was mean.. But hilarious."
We danced in silence for a second. "Thanks for your wonderful dress sense, Al."
She glared at me. "Are you being sarcastic?"
"On the contrary, no. I really am grateful. I can't be caught dead in things for the 65c store.. Like you."
Her eyes narrowed, and the corners of her mouth twitched up at the ends. "Hideous, hideous.."
"The clothes can't have been that bad."
"I meant the game."
I let out a booming laugh. "Too bad I missed that!"
"Well.. you were whooping it up with Rosalie."
I nodded. "Mmm.. Oh yeah. Can't wait for the honeymoon."
I raised my eye-brows, and winked. That will be great.. Hmm..
"Spare me your fantasies, please."
"You're going to see them anyway."
"And let me tell you, they're not pretty."
"To me, they're wonderful."
She cringed playfully, then tapped my nose. I laughed. "What was that for?"
"Oh nothing, I'm just reminiscing."
"About what?"
"Remembering you as a gorgeous little red cheeked, curly haired, blue eyed little boy." She sighed. "You were adorable."
"Really? See, chicks dig me."
She playfully slapped my arm, then giggled like a little girl. "I remember you were so excited that you were soon turning 5.."
I laughed. "That's me."
"Uh-huh, yep. I remember how you loved Rosalie so much. You could tell when she was unhappy, from the minute you stepped through our doors."
I sighed, just as the song came to a close. I spotted Renesmee's bronze curls bobbing, and she waved at me. I motioned her over.
"Hey Emmy!"
Aw. She was so cute. Sure, she looked 16, but still like a little girl. "Hey Ness!"
Alice kissed my cheek, before disappearing in the crowd. "Care to dance?"
Nessie smiled, and grabbed my hands. "Yes, yes I would."
I felt like Renesmee and I have a close friendship. We're a lot like each other in many different ways. Not anything like what Rosalie and I have, it was so much different.
"How you been?" I asked.
"Fab."
"You and Jake.. erm.. Getting.. things.. along?" I asked. It sounded awkward, but I was nearly in hysterics.
She slapped my shoulder lightly. "Yes!"
I laughed at her enthusiasm, and how open she was. "That's great."
"Yeah, it's fun, but don't tell Dad. Or Mom." She whispered. I had a feeling they already knew.. "They would murder Jacob."
"Really, they're that protective?"
"Uh-huh. Or Dad is. And I don't understand why! It's only a way of life."
I nodded. "Yeah, I suppose it is."
We swayed aimlessly to the music, just laughing together. And to thank, I used to hate this girl.. She's totally lovable!
"You remember when I was 12, and we told Edward that we screwed up Esme's garden?" I laughed. "And then, we blamed it on him!"
We both howled with laughter, remembering the memory.
Flashback-
I tossed the football to Nessie, who threw it up in the air. We both went to dive for it, and landed smack bang in the middle of Mom's garden. We both gasped, then started cursing.
The flowers were crushed. The bushes were flat. We were so dead.
"Crap! Ness! What the hell do we do! Esme's gonna murder us!" I said, in a low whisper.
"Well, she won't kill me, but she'll kill you—"
"Renesmee shut up! We have to find a way to clear this up!" I said threw my teeth. "What the hell do we do! She's had that since I was 7!"
Renesmee and I looked the same age at this time. I was very big and strong, and she was as light as a feather.
"We.. ugh.. I.. She'll be home in half an hour! We have to figure something out now!"
Just as we looked up at each other, Alice and Jasper came round the corner. Their faces looked horrified, and sort of amused. Alice's hand was held up, as if she was going to warn us about something. "Guys, don't throw the foot—Oh wait, too late!"
"WHAT DID YOU GUYS DO?" Jasper shrieked. "ALICE YOU MAY AS WELL JUST PLAN THEIR FUNERAL NOW!"
"Whoa, uncle Jaz, chill." Renesmee said. "We'll handle this."
"Easy for you too say! You have Esme wrapped around your little finger!" I said.
"So do you!"
I sighed. "I might have a idea.."
I was deep in thought. Everyone was here today. Bella, Edward, Jacob, Carlisle, Jasper, Alice.. Anyone to blame.
"Well what is it?!" Ness shrieked, probably a little to loud.
"RENESMEE! EMMETT!" I heard a very angry Edward yell, as he stepped out of the front door. He froze in the doorway, his nostrils flaring. "WHAT THE—"
"Dad, calm down. It's fine. We have a plan.. I think." She gave me a worried glance. I looked at her, and grinned. I looked back at Edward, as if to signal something.
Renesmee touched my hand, sending a image in my head. Esme walked through the door, and Renesmee and I pointed at Edward. "He did it."
I nodded.
"NO, OKAY. NO!" Edward shrieked. "I AM NOT TAKING THE BLAME FOR YOU TWO!"
"Pleeeeeease Daddy." Renesmee pleaded.
"I'm sorry, but I can't. Take responsibility for you actions." Edward scolded.
"But Daaaaady—"
"No."
I heard a car door slam, and we all spun around. Esme was frozen at Carlisle's car. I cursed under my breath. "Now what?"
Snap decision. "Edward did it."
Edward looked at me, clearly pissed.
"Edward! How could you!" Esme said, her hand over her mouth.
Somehow the football ended up in Edward's hands, and he froze. He glared at me.
"Esme I—"
"Not buts!"
"I didn't say but"
"Don't be cheeky. It's a horrible habit. Now back to my garden."
"I'm so sorry Esme, I'LL"—He put emphasis on the word. Uh oh. This normally means We'll have to do it. – "Re-plant the garden."
"You better, now Ness, Em, get inside. It's getting dark." Esme said. We all scurried into the house, giggling all the way.
-End of flashback-
I flashed back to the present, as the song ended. Nessie smiled at me, and fluttered gracefully away from me. Bella appeared in my arms, smiling. "Hey Em."
"Hey Bells! How you going?"
"Great, great. You?"
We started to sway. "I'm having so much fun."
"That's wonderful. I'm so happy for you."
Bella and I had become awfully close over the years. All the pranks we pull.. It's just like Ness and I.
"Too bad you can't eat, eh?" She said, looking over at the food table. I gawked. The whole table was covered.
"Who's that for?" I asked.
"The Quiluetes."
"Right."
She giggled, as we twirled past Edward and Rosalie.
"And we don't get any blood? No blood cake? That's disappointing." I joked.
"Shut up," She playfully slapped my shoulder. "Alice did a fabulous job."
"Yeah, I know she did. I'm just playing."
We both laughed. I spotted Rose, and she winked at me. I grinned, just for Bella to look up at me in confusion.
"Rosalie," I answered. I wiggled my eye-brows. Bella thought for a bit then gasped it what I thought was disgust.
"Oh. Oh. Yuck." She squealed.
"Well you and Edward are so much worse! Gosh.. If it wasn't for you guys Rose and I could never—"
"Thanks, Em," Bella laughed. "But too much information coming up. My disgusting senses are tingling."
I rolled my eyes. "Oh please, Belly. You know you love it."
She glared, at me. "Right.. I love it do I? Then why does the whole family desert the house whenever you and Rose go up the stairs together?"
I nodded. Oh.. "Right. 'k. Get it. It's all cool."
More time must have past then I thought. The music stopped, and I had danced with everyone. Or everyone that didn't smell like death on a stick.
"Pfft," Edward murmured. He suddenly appeared next to me, his arm around my shoulders. "Death on a stick? That doesn't make sense."
"Fine. Death in a furry form."
He laughed, as I looked around in confusion. Where in the world is my wife? She was here a minute ago..
"Like the new title, brother?" Edward laughed.
"Actually, I do. So deal with it."
I turned my head to the stairs, where I saw Alice pulling Rosie down the stairs. She was changed, into a white deep blue sundress with flip flops. Ah.. The honeymoon..
Rose's face lit up when she saw me, and she smiled as she made her way through the crowd, to me.
When she reached me, I wrapped my arms around her beautiful body, and kissed her. Quick, but passionate.
"God I've missed you." I whispered.
"Me too. I can't wait for Isle Esme. It'll be so much fun."
I laughed. I knew exactly what she was talking about.. I grinned at the thought.
"Rosalie, Emmett, hurry up!" Alice squealed, motioning for us to move. Somehow, we had moved closer and closer to the front door. Wow. Maybe Bella gave me a little push..
I ignored the thoughts, and focused on Rosalie. My love, my wife, my lover..
"This is a perfect moment." I said. She smiled back at me.
"Yes, it is. Does it have to end?"
"SADLY, YES!" Alice yelled, and Rose disappeared from in my arms. The room erupted in laughter, as I moved around to each guest, thanking them and saying goodbye.
"Have fun sweetheart!" Esme called, as I practically fell out the door.
"Thanks Mom!" I waved back to all the guests. God those wolves are huge!
I walked out to Rosalie's convertible. There were cans tied to end, and a big sign near the number plate saying : 'Newly Weds'. I laughed at that.
Rosalie was already in the car, waiting for me. It was weirdly warm today; Or for a Forks winter anyway. It wasn't raining! That's a first.
"Our future awaits," Rose giggled, as I climbed into the car.
"Yes," I grinned, and wrapped my arm around her shoulders. "And we have all the time in the world."
THE END!!! Sequel? Yes, no, maybe? I made this chap especially long, seeing it's the last. I hope you enjoy it. 22 pages, 6,000+ words. Jesus.
But anyway, I venture to the United States in 3 days. So, no more from me till the holidays are over. For me anyway. I have ideas for sequel, so don't worry.
Also, this morning I stayed up till 3am to watch the Michael Jackson memorial. I love him so much, and yes I cried. Especially when little Paris talked. : ( I also cried when Marlon Jackson broke down in tears :'(
R.I.P Michael Jackson. Your legacy will forever live on, and love you heaps..
