Moonlight

2 Years Later and Another Wedding

BellaPOV

" You may now kiss the bride," the priest said as Jasper leant forward and kissed Alice sweetly on the lips.

It has been two years. A lot has happened.

The twins had moved in with Bailey and Tanner. They were all sharing an apartment in town.

Emmett and Rosalie now live in a little, well massive, mansion in the woods near the Cullens house. Emmett has become a great vampire. He can control his strength now.

Jasper proposed at Graduation and it took Alice eleven months to plan her perfect wedding. And believe me it is perfect.

Like Rose and Emmett's wedding, Alice and Jasper have a theme; black and white. Jasper chose it; white for Alice and black for her hair. But I have made it clear to Edward that I am not having a brown and white themed wedding.

Jacob Black is Jasper's best man. Things have been better since Ruby and Jade were imprinted on. The wolf pack is a little more lenient towards us now. That was mostly because of Ruby and Tanner, Jade and Bailey.

Oh and Jacob and I have gone back to our friendship status. He found a girlfriend at Christmas time last year. Her name is Lizzie. She is awesome.

Rosalie and I are the bridesmaids. I am only 16 and I have been a bridesmaid twice. Our dresses are simple. They are the same dresses that Rosalie had the bridesmaids wear at her wedding but in black. Yes I know what you are thinking. Black? At a wedding? They are vampires remember. And Alice wanted everything to fit. Pink dresses would really fit in with the theme.

The dress is beautiful. It is strapless and has a plain black bow around the middle with a tiny diamond in the middle. The black really stands out and compliments Alice's spiky black hair.

The audience cheered and I looked out and saw tears streaming down Mum's face. I wiped my own tears away and joined in with everyone as they rushed towards the married couple to congratulate them.

After the hugging was finished we ventured outside to continue the party. The food was great and it was hilarious watching the Cullens eat. Especially Emmett, he must have forgotten that he can't eat cake anymore. The look on his face was priceless as he swallowed his portion and nearly choked at the "disgusting" taste.

Then just as I was enjoying myself, the dancing started.

" Bella," I spun around and was met by beautiful golden eyes.

" Yes," I answered.

" Would you like to dance?" Edward asked.

" I would love to dance with you," I said and Edward chuckled, understanding the double meaning.

He took my hand and led me onto the dance floor. And then we were flying. I laughed out loud and Edward grinned, spinning me in a circle.

Then just as Edward was about to take me for another spin around the dance floor, Emmett stepped in.

" May I have this dance?" He asked as the song changed.

" If you must," I sighed reluctantly leaving Edward. Emmett's cold hands took mine and off we went.

" How is school?" he asked.

" It is good. I can't believe that it is almost over and I am only 16. I mean Graduation is only one month away. It has gone so fast. It was only last year that Jasper graduated and know it is my turn. I feel so old,"

" Old? You feel old? Gosh I am 20 in human years. That's old," Emmett scoffed, " Oh my little sister is all grown up,"

" Hah hah," I laughed sarcastically, nudging him, " Little sister. Gosh,"

Emmett just smirked.

" What did you do during your human year?" I asked. Carlisle decided that all three of us must have a "human year" after high school before we were to get changed. That would give us enough time to plan the wedding and enjoy being human without being at school.

" Everything," Emmet replied, " I mean everything. Speed boating, motorcycle racing. I did everything,"

" And Dad knows?" I asked.

" Of course not," he scoffed.

" I was talking to Mum earlier," I said casually.

" Yeah," he said cautiously.

" She was saying how different you look. She asked me of you were all right because you are so pale. She thought you were sick," I said.

" And what did you say?" He asked.

" I just reminded her that you and Rosalie have been in Ireland for two years and the cold weather was bound to take its toll," I replied.

" And did she believe that?" Emmett asked hopefully. I just looked at him.

" Yeah, didn't think so," he grumbled, " What will I do when she corners me? And no doubt she will,"

" Ask Carlisle. He can use his gift on you," I offered. Emmett grinned and ran off, leaving me partnerless in the middle of the dance floor.

" Emmett!" I called.

" Hey there partner," I spun around.

" Jasper," I smiled. He took my hand and we started to dance.

" So how does it feel to be married?" I asked after a couple of minute's silence.

" I don't really know what to think," he said as we twirled past Dad and Sue.

" Well, I am very proud of you big brother," I smiled. Jasper grinned.

" Next thing, you are going to be a vampire," I said.

" Yeah. I am kind of scared," he said.

" Don't be. Just think about life after the change not during," I encourage.

" Thanks Bells. You always know what to say," Jasper laughed, squeezing my hand.

We were just about to go for another twirl around the dancefloor when Jacob tapped Jasper on the back.

" May I intrude?" he asked. Jasper rolled his eyes and let me go, catching Alice as she ran past. Alice laughed and the happy couple started to dance.

Jacob grabbed me and we followed suit.

" How you been Jake?" I asked.

" Great. Have you met Lizzie? She is awesome. You really should come over some time and get to know her. She is a great person. I think you two will be really good friends," Jacob said in one breath. When he finally stopped to take a breath I cut in.

" I've met her. You introduced us at Christmastime. She is really nice," I laughed.

" What is so funny?" he asked, looking upset.

" Nothing is funny. You just, well, I can tell you really like her. I am glad you have found some one Jake. Now we both have some one," I smiled.

" Yeah," he said and we continued dancing.

After five hours on my feet, my legs were aching. I hobbled over to one of the table and sat down. I slipped my shoes off and stretched. Ah that felt better.

" Bella!" I looked up and saw Rosalie and Alice calling me. I sighed and walked over to them, leaving my shoes behind.

" Let's dance," they laughed. I groaned.

" No. No more dancing. My feet are caning," I grumbled.

" I'll help you," Carlisle said from behind me. I turned to him confused. He just laughed and grabbed my arm, swinging my onto his back. I screamed as he did so, catching Jasper, Edward and Dad's attention. Emmett ran over, catching Rosalie from behind. I laughed out loud from my position on Carlisle's back. Edward and Jasper jogged over with Esme right behind them. It was like a Cullen campfire. All the other guests had stopped to watch us as well. Dad was watching silently as Carlisle danced with me squealing on his back as I was swung to and fro. Rosalie and Emmett had decided to try tango and were marching up and down the dancefloor. Alice and Jasper were samba-ing next to Rosalie and Emmett. Esme and Edward were waltzing like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. I leaned down so I could talk to Carlisle.

" When I change will I be able to dance like that? Like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers?" I asked enviously, looking at Esme and Edward. Carlisle laughed.

" Absolutely. But remember they were alive when Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were dancing. They witnessed it first hand," Carlisle chuckled. I sighed wistfully and then shrieked as Carlisle spun in a circle.

" No don't. Don't," I squealed. Carlisle laughed and swung me around so I was in his arms. He kissed my forehead and put me down. As soon as my feet hit the floor, I was swung up again as Edward swung me onto his back.

" What is it with you vampires and having me on your backs?" I hissed in his ear playfully.

" Well it is fun because there is nothing you can do back to us," Edward whispered slyly.

" One day, I will get you all back for the things you have done to me. Everything single little thing," I threatened.

" That is if you can remember all the little things," he laughed. I scowled and thumped him on the back. I winced. Ow!

He laughed as he swung me around so I was in his arms; bridal style.

" Hello Edward," Dad said stiffly, walking up to us just as he was about to kiss me.

" Hello Mr. Swan," Edward said politely. I rolled my eyes.

" Please call me Charlie," Dad said thawing out.

" How are you enjoying the wedding?" Edward asked, still holding me.

" It is beautiful. Alice really knows how to throw a good party," Dad chuckled. Edward smiled politely.

" Well I better go see Sue. You would never guess how much we have in common," Dad said to me and wandered off.

" Interrupting old man," I grumbled. Edward chuckled, leaning in for a kiss. And again just as his gorgeous lips were about to touch mine, Mum came over. I stifled a growl.

" Hello Bells," she chimed, hardly noticing the position she had interrupted us in.

" Hey Mum," I said trying to be happy. I just wanted to kiss Edward.

" I just want to say that I am going to go to bed. I am so tired. Phil and I are going to catch a taxi to the hotel, so I just wanted to say goodbye," Mum said kissing my forehead. I smiled and leaned over to hug her.

" Love you Mum, Miss you," I said.

" Love you too darling," she whispered and ran off with Phil to catch the taxi.

" Maybe this time," I said as Edward leaned in. Again. But of course no such luck. This time Emmett and Rosalie came tango-ing over.

" How are you enjoying to wedding?" Emmett asked totally oblivious to Edward and my angry faces.

" It was splendid," I grumbled.

" We will be back in a second," Edward said and rushed me into the trees. He set me down and put his hands on my face.

" Maybe now we can have some privacy," Edward groaned as he leaned in. When he was about two centimetres away he stopped, his breath fanning across my face.

" What are you doing?" I murmured impatiently, trying to reach for his lips. But Edward was too strong, holding my face back with his hands.

" I am seeing if anyone else will interrupt," he chuckled. As he laughed, his breath fanned across my face so much that I whimpered. He was so delicious.

" Who cares," I moaned and pulled him to me. This time Edward didn't resist.

His gorgeous lips crushed against mine and I could help but let out a groan. I was about to pull away to breathe when Edward's lips left mine and started to peck down my jaw line and down to the hollow of my neck. When they traced back up, I twisted my head and caught his lips with mine. He chuckled against my lips and, as always, pulled away too soon.

" Let's not push it my love," he murmured against my ear. I shuddered.

" We should get back to the party," he whispered taking my hand. I smoothed out my hair and brushed down my dress.

" Ready," I smiled.

" You look beautiful," Edward smiled and led me back to the party.

" Edward?" I asked as we started to dance.

" Mmm," he answered staring into my eyes. I nearly lost my train of thought but pulled away before I could look too deeply into him eyes.

" Stop it," I murmured before carrying on. Edward grinned.

" Where is Jasper taking Alice on their honeymoon?" I asked curiously. Jasper hadn't told me and I was quite curious.

" You would have to ask Jasper," he replied, playing with my hair.

" You don't know?" I asked sceptically.

" Jasper isn't thinking about it. If he was then Alice would find out," Edward informed me.

" Then how did he book it?" I asked.

" I suspect he had some help from your furry friend," Edward said curtly. I rolled my eyes.

" Of course," I laughed.

" So when are you guys going to help?" I asked.

" In two weeks," Edward replied twirling me under his arm.

" Christmas is in three weeks," I mumbled, looking away, " Will you be back in time?"

" I hadn't really thought about it. It isn't something you think about, as an immortal," Edward frowned, " But I suspect we will be. Last Christmas was rather dull. Wasn't it?"

Last Christmas, Jasper and I had gone to visit Mum for four weeks. It had been torture. Mum had fussed over us the whole trip, asking one hundred and one questions about everything from school to what we thought Emmett and Rosalie were doing in Ireland. And I had spent it away from Edward.

" It was rather," I said, biting my lip, " You know I never really asked you what you did. What did you do last Christmas?"

" Went on a weeklong hunting trip. But Alice and I were the only ones really hunting. The others were rather preoccupied. It was all in all a rather dull and boring holiday. And I didn't have you,"

" This Christmas will you be able to get out of Newborn-sitting duty for half the day so we can do something? I'll do the present thing with Dad in the morning and come over at, say, 10 o'clock. Then we can do something together," I organised.

" You do know that when you come over here, there will be more present time. If Esme knows your coming she will make a big deal out of it. And your brothers will want to give you something,"

" Yeah I know. But you promise that we will do something together. Just the two of us. Alone,"

" I promise," he said whispering into my neck.

All too soon it was time to say goodbye to Jazz and Alice. After Esme, Rose and I had gotten Alice ready upstairs, we rushed her downstairs and into the waiting car. Jasper tried, unsuccessfully, to shield her from the rain of rice. I waved as the car pulled out of the driveway.

I sighed as they disappeared. Last time, when Emmett was changing, when the Cullens had left, I had at least had Jasper. Now I would have no one.
