All characters are not created by me but the amazing Stephenie Meyer. I only made the story line :)

Chapter Twenty-Six – Wedding Crashers

Renesmee's POV

The ceremony seamed to drag by with my impatience to become Mrs Jacob Black.

"...For as long as you both shall live." The minister spoke, and for a moment I didn't know whether the line was directed at me or Jake. His brown eyes never left mine.

"I do." He announced and I smiled. I was asked the same question.

"I do." I whispered back, Jake's grip increased on my hands and my heart started to flutter as the minister said the words I had longed to hear.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Jake leant towards me and I angled my head to receive the kiss. The kiss felt different...better actually and I through my arms (bouquet included) around his neck pushing myself closer to him. Jake pulled me closer against him, but it wasn't close enough for me.

I had to break the kiss off.

As people around us cleared their throats I coughed twice and smiled at my new husband, his answering smile was radiant.

"Stop hogging the bride dog." Muttered Rosalie as she and my mom grabbed me into a vice tight hug, they seemed to forget that I wasn't as strong as them. I was passed throughout our guests, Jake following close behind me.

"Nessie come on." Alice hissed for the third time. I casually ignored her and turned to Jake.

"Jake will you get me a drink of water?" I said coughing again. He reached across the table and handed me a bottle of water.

"Thanks." I smiled placing the bottle back on the table; my feet suddenly disappeared from beneath me. I looked up shocked to see Jasper carrying me away from Jake and through the crowd. Our guests laughed lightly as my heels kicked viciously against him. It did no good against his marble shins.

"Put my down now, you're ruining my dress." I hissed shooting him a murderous glare, his eyes widened and then he smiled continuing to carry me. Jake followed from behind with his eyebrows raised.

"Renesmee, Alice has been calling you for ages. You need to cut the cake."

"But we don't even eat cake!" I protested my hands smacking against his shoulder. He laughed quietly but didn't retort.

He finally let me back onto my feet near where Alice was fuming, she stood with her arms crossed and her eyes narrowed on me. I shot her a glare.

"Alice that's rude." I snapped, she grabbed my wrist

"It's just as rude to ignore people." She retorted unsmiling. I sighed.

"Fine, I'm sorry."

Jake and I stood and posed as the cameras flashed, from the corner of my eye I could see the La Push wolf pack devouring the buffet that had been provided. As soon as Jake and I had both swallowed our pieces I walked over to where they stood. I smacked Paul from the back of his head and he turned to glare at me.

"Whathafor'" his response came out jumbled as his mouth was full of food.

"Do you mind not eating all the food, leave some for the other guests?" I scolded, his nostrils flared and his eyes scanned the room. Jake was suddenly by my side, as he opened his mouth to tell me what was going on I saw what was going on. I heard him before I saw him.

"Yeah, leave some for the other guest's shape-shifter."

My mouth hung open and my heart beat faster. Emmett and Dad were already dead-set in front of where he stood on his left was Leah. There was no Lucy to see, or smell.

I stared anxiously around the hall, our human guests were whispering to each other and I started to get angry.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I hissed crossing the dance floor over the where the confrontation was happening. Jake was trying to pull me back, but I was just as strong as him and so met his force equally, just overpowering in fact.

"Nice to see you too Renesmee." He laughed cockily as I glared. Leah smiled timidly at me.

"Congratulations Nessie." She said coming to give me a hug, Emmett and Edward did not relax their positions and she stepped back again.

"I'm only going to give her a hug, she is my friend." She snapped, her death glare aimed at my family. Jake's arm snaked around my waist staring at Nate. Nate however didn't take his eyes off my face.

"You aren't welcome here." Jake stated, shooting Leah a glance. "Your mother's sick to death Leah, she's ill and you are pushing her too far!"

Nate stepped towards Jake menacingly and I quickly put myself between them.

"Just leave." I pleaded gripping Jake's hand; Nate chewed his lip and then smiled.

"We just want to talk. Peacefully." He said speaking to the whole of us, his eyes stayed on me and Jake's grip increased pulling me towards him.

Dad was already shaking his head before he had finished speaking. His hand quickly went into his pocket and something sat on the palm of his hand, he offered it towards me.

"I believe this belongs to you." He said smiling; I stared at the beautiful wooden carvings in his hand and gently touched my neck where the necklace should hang.

Jake's necklace that I had lost.

"Where did you get this?" Jake snapped, as I took the necklace out of Nate's hand, his skin was freezing where our hands touched. I examined the wolf carving closely in my hand.

"Found it on the forest floor, Leah recognised it." Nate shrugged and then flung his arm across Leah's shoulder; she gave me a bright smile and nodded. I smiled at both of them.

"Thank-you." I was overwhelmed with thanks and leant forward to give Leah a hug. I missed her warm hugs and as I pulled away and stepped back Nate laughed.

"Don't I get a hug?"

Everyone growled, around me. Jake's was the most fierce and pronounced.

"You keep your dirty hands off her." Edward spat, Nate raised his eyebrows.

"My hands are dirty? You murderer." He snorted back.

"Guys cut it out." I warned looking at them all. Nate cleared his throat.

"I'm sorry Renesmee." He said giving me a dazzling smile, he held out his arms ready for an embrace.

"Don't do it." Jake said shaking his head.

"Jake he just returned one of my most precious possessions. It's only a hug." I stepped forward and hesitated, Dad went to push me back but I already had my arms around Nate's shoulders. His mouth found my ears.

"You look amazing Mrs Black. Please convince your husband and family I want to talk. I have news." He purred softly in my ear and my heart started to accelerate.

"What news?" Dad demanded as I went back to Jacob. Jake rubbed his arms up mine and I kissed his cheek. I kept my eyes on Jake's face. It was hard and cold.

Like a mask.

"You'll have to come and find out. Meet me at two am a little North that the black forest, you'll catch my trail from the south bank."

I turned my eyes back in the direction of Nate just to see him and Leah disappear out of sigh. Dad and Emmett were talking in hushed voices.

"It could be an ambush." Dad reasoned. Emmett smiled up for a fight. I shook my head.

"I think he's telling the truth." I said, Jake looked at me like I was insane.

"Just because he paid you a complement and returned your necklace that does not make him any less dangerous." His tone of voice was cold and detached just like when mom described Dad before...before he left. I turned my face away into the crowd that was dancing and smiling unaware. I coughed again and headed towards the buffet for a drink. Away from the plotting boys towards Alice.

"Guess you're not leaving for your honeymoon until tomorrow then." Alice sighed.

"Go on." I said taking another drink.

"Looks like we have a meeting to go to."
