It's All on Me Chapter 32, a twilight fanfic

The after party was a sight to see. It was so much different than the church- more relaxing, casual, and free. Sam and I pulled up to the beach and he opened my door, helping me out of the car. Huge amounts of people were here and I wasn't sure if they were all people I knew.

As Sam and I walked down hand in hand, swinging our laced fingers in between us, we let the sand sift among our feet and enjoy the warm day.

"Ladies and Gentleman, I would like to announce Mr. and Mrs. Uley!" Emmett's voice boomed over the noise crowd as he saw us enter. Everyone stopped what they were doing and began cheering for us, which made me blush extremely hard and burry my face in Sam's side. My husband…-husband, what a funny word to say- was chuckling and held me close as I let the wave of embarrassment flush my cheeks. As everyone slowly dissipated around us to do their own thing, Sam swept me up into a long loving kiss.

I bit my lip as we pulled away, loving the way he could clear my head with such an action. He kept eye contact with me and held my hand, which was placed close to his heart.

"Ella, you look even prettier," Joey said stopping to look at my new dress as she announced a new nickname for me.

Pulling away from Sam with a kiss, I turned to my flower girl with a smile. "Thank you Joey. I think you look pretty gorgeous yourself." Kneeling down in the sand, I pushed some hair back from her face. She had been changed out of her dress like most of the others. Now she was modeling a crisp white tank top with cute kaki shorts.

"Brady!" her eyes lit up. Turning around, I found the kid walking near us. Joey ran to him, jumping in his arms as he caught her up in the air with a swoop.

"Hey Bella," Brady greeted, kissing my cheek and then turning back to his imprint.

"Bella!" Collin said walking over to us.

"Hey Joe," Collin smiled before turning back to me, "Kim told me to come get you."

"Why?" I wondered.

"Some bridesmaid thing," he said shrugging. Wondering what it could be, I followed behind him and looked around for where my husband went. Sam was off talking to Jared now with Liam in his arms. All three boys had shed their neckwear and tux jackets. Their sleeves were rolled up and shoes gone.

There was a loud squeal that interrupted my thoughts and I was attacked by a mob of girls.

"You're married!" Kim shrieked. I let out a laugh as the other girls were jumping up and down excitedly too. Like the boys and Joey, they were all changed out of their dresses and into more casual wear. Each of the girls was wearing a white shirt, whether it was a tank top, button up or short sleeve, and some kaki shorts, skirts, or capris. I liked the outfits admittedly, I thought they went well with the whole beach scenery.

"I am," I blushed.

"Bella! It was so pretty!" Sarah said.

"And look at you," Andrea complimented. I let out another laugh and continued to blush.

"Congratulations Bella," Rosalie said coming to hug me.

"I can't believe it!" Alice squealed as she hugged me next. I let out another laugh and let the rest of the females hug me.

"So how does it feel to be a wife to the man of the Pack?" Leah wondered.

"Oddly refreshing," I laughed, "I like it a lot."

All of the girls let out another shriek and it had us in fits of laughter.

"What has all you ladies in excitement?" Quil wondered with Claire in his arms.

"Just enjoying the married life," I joked, laughing as the boys of the Pack came to surround us.

"Hmmm, I like that," Sam said wrapping his arms around me from behind. I turned to smile up at him and laughed when I noticed all of the girls 'awwing'.

"Bella!" Alice sang coming back to join our crowd with her family.

"Alice…" I said suspiciously with narrowed eyes. I had started to discover when she said my name in that tone there was always something up her sleeve.

"This is for you, from all of us," she said referring to her family. Taking the pretty wrapped gift, I found a small box and opened it. Inside was a piece of paper and it said 'where's Liam?'

Confused, I looked all around and saw him with Letty holding a little German Sheppard puppy in his arms.

"No way!" I said snapping back to look at them. Everyone laughed and I glanced to Sam.

He was grinning like a fool and I was wondering if this was real.

"Mommy!" Liam said running over to me with the pup in his arms.

"Liam! What is that?" I asked picking him up.

"A puppy!" he said shifting it in his arms so the dog could lick my face. We both let out a little giggle and I stared at the fur ball. He was the cutest thing with his ears that folded over a bit.

"What's his name?" I wondered.

"I don't know," Liam shrugged.

"Its up to you Bella," Carlisle said.

"No pressure or anything," Jared snickered. Kim hit him on the chest and he immediately straightened up. We all laughed at that for a little.

"What do you think?" I asked to my husband.

"Anything you want baby," he said kissing my lips quickly.

"I like doggy," Liam said looking to the pup who gave him some kisses.

"Hmm, well we'll think about it," I laughed, along with the rest of the gang.

"Thank you," I smiled to the Cullens. "Of course Bella."

"Yea, we thought you might need another dog around," Emmett joked. I laughed.

"Actually, it was because that's how you first met us Bella," Alice said.

"Remember? Emmett lost the dog for Rose?" Edward said. I laughed again, smiling at those days. It seemed like such a long time ago.

"It was for one second- one second I left that pup," Emmett said trying to justify himself.

"Where is your dog anyways?" I wondered to Rose and Emmett.

"After Emmett gave Rose the dog, he took the puppy outside to go to the bathroom and left. Unfortunately the dog ran away again," Esme said.

"I barely left for a fraction of a second that time," Emmett said. We all laughed.

"We looked for him for days and then one day, we heard a kid named Joel had found him. His father made the boy return the dog to us," Carlisle said.

"But Joel really liked the pup. So we gave it to him and he keeps in touch with us," Rosalie said.

"Last time Emmett gets that type of gift," Jasper joked. We all laughed again and I kissed both the puppy and Liam on the head. Glancing around, I found Cole's parents standing together talking amongst themselves so I quickly excused myself.

"Buddy, I'll be right back okay? I'm going to hand you to Sam," I told Liam.

"Okay," he said kissing my cheek and going into Sam's arms.

"Be back," I smiled kissing my husband, shagging a hand through Liam's hair and thanking the Cullens again as I left the crowd.

"Mr. and Mrs. Jennings," I smiled, greeting each of them both. "Thank you for coming."

"Of course Isabella, it was so nice of you to invite us," Mrs. Jennings said dearly.

"Cole has talked a lot about you," Mr. Jennings pitched in.

"Thank you," I blushed.

"How are you all enjoying yourselves?" I wondered trying to make conversation.

"Very well thank you," Mr. Jennings said.

"Everything is beautiful Bella," Mrs. Jennings added.

"Well please thank my friend Alice Cullen and my maid of honor Leah, they both really took over the show for me," I said.

At the mention of Leah, there was a flicker of uncertainty on their face.

"Mr. and Mrs. Jennings," I sighed. "May I please be honest with you?"

They both hesitantly nodded. "Leah is like my sister and hopefully one day will be," I said. "I know that she met you both with Cole and you warmed up to her. But I also know you are both uncertain about where she is going in life and if she is right for your son. I can see that you are protective of Cole and honestly, I think that's nice," I spoke, "but Leah is one of the most unselfish and loving people I know."

"Isabella," Mrs. Jennings sighed. I cringed a bit at the name but cut in softly, "Mr. and Mrs. Jennings, I'm not saying this because she is my best friend as a girl, its just how I honestly feel. She deserves a chance to be happy with your son. And she's even asked herself that same question many times. There are some things you don't understand and there have been many hardships that Leah's faced in her lifetime. I want you to see that your son couldn't love a more perfect girl."

"Isabella, its not that we don't like Leah," Mr. Jennings said nicely.

"Right, you are hesitant on the couple's future," I spoke. They both nodded.

"Well I can't guarantee what their life will be like in a few months or even a few years, but I can say they will have each other's backs. Both Leah and Cole are so selfless and caring towards one another. I believe with a couple like them they are really meant to be together even when the people around them have doubts."

"We just worry about Leah's future. College, marriage and kids…" Mrs. Jennings admitted again while trailing off.

"Why not worry about that when the time comes?" I asked. "Mrs. Jennings, you have to understand. Priorities are different around the res. College is important yes, but family comes first- that is everything here in La Push. I know Leah hasn't explained this to you so I will. It is everyone's dream here to get a higher education and find a job- it was Leah's too. But her father passed away and things changed. Her balance in her family shifted and her little brother was the head male of the house. She made sure to help guide him along and get their mother back on her feet," I said with a sad smile. "She stepped away from her priorities to help her family. That is the kind of girl she is."

"We didn't know," Mr. Jennings said surprised.

"Leah isn't the type of girl to look for gratitude for her actions," I said kindly, "she is just that sweet, caring type of girl. I wish for you both to see that because it bothers her deeply that you don't fully approve of her. She wishes your son the greatest happiness and even he too is upset you don't fully enjoy Leah by his side."

"We see now Isabella," Mrs. Jennings said with a hand on my arm.

"I hope you do," I smiled genuinely. "Leah and Cole are both wonderful people. They are like family here and I hope you both become apart of that too."

"We would love it," Mr. Jennings said hugging his wife as he smiled at me. "Thank you for telling us about her Isabella. We really didn't know anything like this."

"Of course," I smiled.

"Bella!" A voice ran.

"Excuse me," I said taking leave from them.

"Mandy? Jesse?" I asked surprised as Alice was bouncing beside me with our guests.

"Hey," Mandy Moore smiled, giving me a hug.

"You look…wow," Jesse breathed giving me a hug next.

"Thank you," I smiled with a light blush. "So what are you guys doing here? I thought you had a tour?" I asked to Jesse McCartney, "and you were busy working?" I asked Mandy Moore.

"We had to stop by and see the bride," Mandy grinned. "Everything here is beautiful."

"Well please, stick around," I said still shocked.

"Hello? Hello? Can everybody here me?" Marie asked up on stage. Turning my attention to the woman, I smiled brightly and looked to Paul. He was grinning like a fool and turned to flash me a wink. There was still that bit of that old Paul in there.

"Well, for those who don't know me, I'm Marie Digby, and the infamous bride, Bella, invited me to tag along here," she smiled. "I got to know Bella through working with her the music industry. She's given me some top charted songs here in the United States and across the world," Marie grinned. "Now I'm supposed to start off this karaoke singing night, so I thought it was only right to sing a song that Bella and I once wrote together. It's called 'Your Love' (A/N: if looking up the song, search one with duet with Sam Milby).

I can never find the words to describe what you do to me
if I did it would sound like a hundred symphonies
the sun would descend from the sky
just to see who stole all his light and glory
you and me can't you see
we could change all of history

"Dance with me?" Sam asked coming out of nowhere.

Surprised, I twirled around and smiled to my husband. "Of course." Setting my hand in his, he held it graciously as he led me away.

When the crowd parts and I find you face
its only you I'm seeing

your love, your love your love, is all that I need
your love your love your love so honey stay right here with me
your touch, your smile, your kiss, your heart is lighting me up
your love your love, is all that I need, oh

"Everyone's staring," I murmured to him as I glanced around.

"That's because this is technically our first official dance as husband and wife," Sam murmured back in my ear.

Blushing, I took a peek at him and smiled. Leaning in for a kiss, he met me halfway and I melted in his arms. His lips parted with mine in such a gentle way. Everyone was cheering and hollering as we kissed.

I let out a hum of satisfaction while putting my head back on his chest where it belonged.

I remember walking with you on that April night
I was cold and you knew it so you asked me if I'm alright
then you reached for my hand
held it tightly in yours
and neither of us could say a thing
but the look on your face
to me, it meant it everything

"It was nice…what you did for Leah," Sam commented as we slowly danced.

"What?" I wondered taking my head off his body to look at him.

"Cole's parents," he said. "It was thoughtful, to talk to them and try to get them to understand."

"They're family," I shrugged, "it was the least I could do, especially after dragging Leah through the thought of inviting them."

"I love you Bella," he said with his forehead now against mine.

"As I love you Sam," I chuckled, moving to kiss his lips again

Now, I can't help repeating what happened that day over and over

If something is good it can last forever
so hold me tightly like time don't matter when we're together

Sam brushed some hair away from my face, murmuring another soft 'I love you' in my ear. We nuzzled against each other, I, submitting to the wolf and human man in front of me.

Humming into another soft passionate kiss Sam brought me into, I enjoyed how calm and at peace we both were. This wedding day, not even close to being over, had been amazing and there was nothing I would ever want change in our history. I was with the perfect man, living the perfect life. What more could a girl ask for?

As she finished, we pulled apart to clap and she said a quick thank you, exiting the stage. I gave Sam a quick kiss as I broke away to say hello to my friend who was speedily walking towards me.

"Look at you!" Marie said as we met with my open arms for each other.

"Thank you so much for being here," I gushed as we pulled away.

"Sam, this is Marie; Marie, this is my husband Sam," I beamed as I introduced him. The two grinned at each other, shaking one's hand as they met again.

"You look beautiful Bella," Marie said again.

"Thank you," I blushed. As she and I talked for a while, Sam got to enjoy the company of my close friend Mandy.

"Well please, enjoy the party. There is a ton of food and pictures, go have fun," I smiled to her.

"Thank you," Marie said again as she ventured off to talk to others.

So after that, the radio went back on and mixed into the loud chatter. Letty and Sue had pushed Sam and I together for pictures of their own, and then to go cut the cake.

"Samuel Uley, I swear to god, if you stuff this in my face you are a dead man," I growled lowly to him as we walked over to the table. I had overheard Quil and Embry talking/joking about it and did not want to become a victim to that embarrassment.

"I won't Bella," he laughed in mock surrender with his hands up.

We walked towards the cake, with everyone now growing silent and gathering around us. Everything was so beautiful; Alice and the rest of the Cullens really did a fabulous job. As the light soft fabric of the lilac tent sat above us (yes a mini tent. Alice had put some tables and the cake in here. Apparently it was for the people to have an opportunity to sit more in the shaded region and for the dessert not to melt) the cake sat perfectly high and wide on the circular bar table, covered with a white tablecloth. I noticed all of the little candles and flower pedals around it too. It was so pretty.

Sam took our cake knife and I set my hand on top of his. As he stood behind me, we cut into the base of our cake, taking out a piece for the both of us. Setting it on the plate, we split it so we could feed it to each other. Mine was pretty small which I was grateful for as he stuck it in my mouth. Then came Sam's who's was pretty much the rest of that piece of cake. With a laugh, I took it in my hands and fed him the food. He let out a hum and tried to take my finger hostage in his mouth. With a giggle I pulled it away and kissed him his lips- so I was being all lovey dovey- shoot me, it was my wedding day! Everyone 'aww'ed and 'ooo'ed again as we laughed at each other.

"Love you," Sam said as Leah brought us some napkins to wipe our hands.

"Love you too," I smiled, still laughing a bit.

So after cake and more food, we all just stood around talking. I was chatting with Seth and Scott about our studio while Sam was off near the beach with a beer in hand talking with Emmett, Leah, and Sam's dad.

"Excuse me, but do you know where Mr. Uley is?" a girl wondered to the three of us. Taking a glance at her, I wondered who she was.

"I'm Lin, Mr. Uley's plus one. Well not his plus plus one," she blushed, "I'm the daughter of his close friend- my mother- who couldn't make it."

"Nice to meet you," I smiled shaking her hand. Lin was a petite Makah girl. She was about 5'1 at most and had a soft voice. Her eyes were a deep dark brown with her hair long. She was wearing a light yellow v-neck dress and a pair of short grey converse. Now that was my type of girl.

As she continued to look around and somehow meet Seth's eyes, I beamed like the sun. They had made contact and let the time stop around them. Their stares battled against each other and I knew what had happened. Seth had imprinted!

"Lin, this is my brother Seth, and my friend Scott," I said with a grin as I introduced her to her mate.

"Nice to meet you," she said with a faint looking blush.

"You too," Seth said still in awe.

"Mr. Uley is over there if you need him," Scott supplied as Seth continued to stare and I continued grin at her.

"Thanks," she said, giving Seth one last glance before walking off.

"Seth!" I squealed jumping on him. He broke out his reverie and grinned.

"What just happened?" Scott wondered confused.

"He- I um…oh," I said not knowing what to say.

"She was pretty," Seth breathed in a daze. Scott furrowed his eyebrows a tad and chuckled.

"Lin is a cool name," I commented.

"Go talk to her," Scott said to Seth like it was obvious.

"I-uhh," Seth said with a flush of embarrassment. I let out a laugh and kissed his cheek.

"Well go, who knows when she is leaving. Go get to know her," I encouraged. He nodded, psyching himself up with deep breaths. Scott laughed, clapping the boy on his back as he left us.

"Bella!" Alice said jumping over to me.

"What?" I asked with the biggest smile of my life.

She leaned in my ear, whispering a secret to me as I gazed up to find Sam watching me.

Turning my head, I responded in her ear with some muffled words. Nodding with a grin of her own, she quickly went to rush off. "Oh Alice, and go get Embry too."

After the pixie left, I went back to talk with Scott, but stopped and saw Seth and Lin had walked a ways down the beach to talk. Leah was staring directly at me with a look on her face. 'For real?' she mouthed. I nodded vigorously, 'it happened' I mouthed back. She glanced at her brother and then let a smile creep upon her face. Leaning against her boy Cole, who had appeared while I wasn't looking I guess, I turned to look at Sam. He was talking with his dad but occasionally glancing at Seth with the girl Lin.

Feeling my stare, he turned to look up at me. 'He did it' I mouthed. Sam's eyebrows rose and he nodded over to Seth and Lin. Giving him a yes, I also put my thumbs up with a bright smile. He let out a chuckle, which caused Joshua Uley to glance up at me and wave. Waving back, I was lightly pushed and taken out of my far away conversation.

"What's going on?" Embry asked as Alice had him by the arm.

"Drop the beer, you and Scott are coming with me," I smirked.

Scott raised an eyebrow of his own and I smiled, taking him by the arm like Alice did with Embry. Leading them to a table a ways away from my own party, I explained what was going on.
