xoxo

Evelyn's p.o.v

"Bella…Bella." I sang in her ear.
Her nose twitched and she mumbled something," Volturi…"

I blinked, was she having a bad dream? If she is then I'd better get her out of it.

"Oh Bella it's time to get up. You're getting married today." I grabbed hold of her bed sheets and yanked them off.
Causing Bella to topple out of the bed, she landed on the floor with a loud thud.

"Ouch," She moaned," Eve what gives… a simple shake would have worked."

I rolled my eyes," you want to wager with me on that?" I walked over to her and pulled her up,
"I can't wait to see your dress."

"Alice was pretty strict about that wasn't she?" Bella said to me as a yawn followed.

Alice had made sure no one besides her and Bella had seen the wedding dress. She was convinced Edward would attempt multiple times to read people's minds about Bella's wedding dress.
Which he probably would…

"She's still strict about it, but I gave clear instruction to Jasper to make sure Edward wouldn't come anywhere near the house today."

"Will you be fine? I mean with me and my dad here? Can you handle two humans?" She asked me looking slightly worried.

"I've been practicing so much over the last two months. I think I'll be fine, but we both know it's no guarantee. If I start to feel…funky I'll just run." I answered her with full honesty.

"I'm feeling rather funky, I'll get dressed and then we can leave."

I nodded and left her to get dressed.
I headed downstairs where I found Charlie in the kitchen. He was actually standing behind the stove, making pancakes.

"Well, look at that. I leave for two weeks and you learn how to cook." I smirked as I was leaning against the doorpost.

Charlie pointed the ladle at me and waved it about," Very funny missy. Is Bells ready?"

"Yes she is, but we'll leave as soon as she's downstairs. Alice wants to start early on Bella's ensemble."

"Pancake?" Charlie asked me, but I declined and used the I'm-full-because-I'm-nervous excuse.

He took the pancake, placed it on a plate and took a seat at the table.
He motioned for me to sit with him.
By the way he was looking at me, taking a bite of his pancake. I was getting a nervous feeling.

"Why are you looking at me like that Uncle Charlie?"

Charlie pointed the fork he was holding at me." You're not planning on getting married too are you?"

I couldn't help but blink and perhaps I twitched the corner of my mouth a bit,
"me? Getting married?" I replied trying to look with my upmost innocence.

"I'm just saying," He retracted the pointing fork and raised his hands in defense," You and Bella are more alike than I would have ever imagined…"

"Uncle Charlie, you don't have to worry about that. Jasper hasn't asked me to become his wife."

"You mean hasn't asked you YET." Bella's voice came from behind me. I had heard her coming down and was thankful for her appearance but not for her comment.

"Ha, Ha very funny, let's get going now before Alice throws a tantrum." I stood up and grabbed Bella by her arm.

"Don't forget to pick up the minister at 3!" She yelled at her dad.

We walked over to my car, my lovely Audi TT. Yes I admit it. I love it!
As soon as Bella was in her seat I raced off towards the house.

"Geez Eve, you're driving sure is a lot more reckless then it used to be."She said.

"Aren't you nervous at all? You're getting married Bells." I reminded her.

Bella lowered her head and mumbled a soft," yes."

"But I'm looking forward to it and everything that will be after it. I want to be with Edward forever Evelyn. I can't imagine my life without him…" she added.

I couldn't help but smile. This was the Bella I remember. The insecure Bella but at the same time she was a determined type of person.

"It's a good thing you'll be together forever then."

Bella didn't reply to my comment, instead she was staring at me.

"What?"

"I'm getting the idea you don't enjoy our jokes about you, Jasper and any sentence that contains the word marriage." She blurted out.

I smirked," It's not that I don't enjoy it…it's just, well… I haven't given it much thought to be honest."

"Would you marry him if he asked you?"

I sighed," This is not about me…today is about you."

"Oh Evy you can answer that question." Bella continued.

"Isabella Swan…" I growled with a bit too much force, I shook my head and exhaled," I'm sorry…I didn't mean to do that."

"Its fine, I acted exactly the same way when Edward told me he wanted to marry me."

Alright…that does it.
I hit the brakes and the car stopped immediately. We had arrived at the house.
"Get out of this car." I hissed.

Bella hurriedly opened the door and sprinted towards the front door.

I looked in the rearview mirror and noticed the contacts had vanished already. My eyes were black.

Bella's p.o.v

I was greeted at the door immediately by Alice. She had already fixed her hair and looked absolutely sparkling.
Surprised by the fact Edward didn't greet me until I remembered Alice had made sure he was nowhere near the house.

She wanted to honor the traditional way of the marriage. Bride and groom apart…

"Bella your eyes," She tsked," Have you been sleeping at all last night?"

I bit my lip, I hadn't really slept that much. First Edward was there and then when I did finally fall asleep I kept having these awful dreams about death, screams and the Volturi.

"Not necessarily sleeping." I mumbled.

Alice rolled her eyes and grabbed my hand," Honestly Bella how am I supposed to work with you."

She pulled me towards the kitchen where we stopped.
"Alright, I apologize for this, but you're not allowed to see the decorations."

She clasped her hands over my eyes.

"Since when is the bride not allowed to see the decorations?"

"Since she put me in charge," Alice replied," Now march."

She guided me through the kitchen where a whiff of flower smells entered my nose.
"Oh god, it smells lovely in here Alice…"

"Is it too much? I mean you are the first human in here, and I wanted to create the perfect smell."

"It smells perfect." I assured her.

Alice didn't uncover my eyes until we reached her oversized bathroom.
A long counter was stretched alongside the wall, make-up, brushes, accessories and much more caught my eye.

"I look that bad huh?"

"Oh stop it, silly." Alice pushed me towards the counter and placed me on top of a chair.

I closed my eyes and allowed myself to drift away as Alice worked her magic on my face, which was obviously needed.

It wasn't until after lunchtime I opened my eyes and saw Rosalie and Evelyn also in the bathroom.
Both in their purple gowns, but they had changed. They dresses weren't as poofy looking as before.

"What happened to the dresses?" I asked them as Alice hoisted the dress over my back and buttoned the pearl beads on the back.

Alice answered that question," Miss Rosalie Hale here decided they had to be altered a bit."
She had her arms crossed and looked utterly cross with her sister.

"Well…they do look a lot nicer now… "I carefully said.

Rosalie nodded in my direction," You see, Alice? She doesn't mind!"

I saw Evelyn trying to hide a smile behind her hand.

"Now that we're here…Can I fix Bella's hair?" Rosalie asked Alice.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
I've never been Rosalie's favorite person in this world.
Here I was, getting married and then throwing my human life away…
something that Rosalie wanted more than anything.
Even though she was happy with her life now and she had found her mate in Emmett…being human meant so much to her.
I felt guilty as she braided my hair as Alice instructed her to do.

"Don't pout Bella. You look lovely." Rosalie said with an actual smile.

Evelyn lowered herself to my level and intertwined her fingers with mine.

"Look at you…"That was all she said, she couldn't utter another word.

"Sing at the reception." I heard myself asking her.

She blinked and cocked her head," At the reception?"

I nodded vigorously causing Rosalie to snarl.

"Sorry Rosalie."

I redirected my attention to Evelyn and gazed at her with pleading eyes," Please, The first song. I want you to sing the first song."

I knew she couldn't refuse my Bambi eyed look.
In a way I was probably the only one who knew how to persuade Evy, besides Jasper.

"I'll sing the first song." She gave my hand a light squeeze.

At that moment I heard a squeal behind me. One I'd recognize anywhere,
Mom.

"Oh my god, Bella, you look so beautiful. Oh I'm going to cry." Renee walked up to me and gave me a hug.
"Oh Alice how did you do this? And your dress, it's so beautiful, as if you walked right out of an Austen movie."

There was a loud, gruff throat-clearing in the doorway. Charlie.
"Renee, Esme said it's time you got settled down there." He said.

"Is it time already? This is all gone so fast I'm feeling dizzy." Mom replied to him. I couldn't help feel the same though.

My mother squeezed me gently around the waist, being careful not to tear the delicate dress.
Next she turned to Evy to give her a hug.
I hid a giggle as I noticed Evy was holding her breath.

"Oh Charlie, do you have the box?"Renee asked my dad.

from his pocket my dad pulled out a small white box which he handed to me.
I opened the lid and held it in front of me.

"Something old and something blue," My mom said to me," they were your Grandma Swan's."

I couldn't help but look at Eve, we did share the same grandma after all, but she gave me thumbs up. She didn't mind.

Inside the box were two heavy silver hair combs, dark blue sapphires were clustered into intricate floral shapes atop the teeth.

"I…I don't know what to say," I said, my throat feeling thick.

Alice stepped up and placed the combs in my hair," something old, something blue, your dress is your something new…"

Then Rosalie placed something in my hands, I looked at it and saw a white garter.

"Something borrowed, those are mine and I want them back." she said.

I blushed at Rosalie who had already moved out of the bathroom and headed downstairs, followed by Renee.
Charlie stood in front of me, holding my bouquet.

"Okay Evy, go, go." Alice said pushing Evy in front of her. Before she had turned the corner Evy turned around for a quick moment and gave me an air kiss.

I firmly grabbed hold of Charlie as my legs started to feel like jelly.
We headed into the hallway. The music played by Rosalie, got louder with every step.

We stood at the descending staircase," Don't let me fall dad…"

Charlie gently squeezed my hand and we started to descend as Alice and Evy walked in front of us.

As soon as we passed the treacherous stairs, I immediately started looking for him.

Then I saw him, his perfect face, and his golden shimmering eyes.
His smile when he saw me I practically nearly ran down the aisle towards him.

Edward held out his hand and Charlie placed my hand within that of Edward, symbolically.
Finally…I was home.

yeah, finito...this chapter ^^ now REVIEW! and the next will be soon :)
