Bella's POV

Lacy is getting married to the perfect man for her in just over an hour. I am a wreck. Quil is of course taking it much better than I am. He never did have that normal, don't let my little girl grow up, instinct. It's not that I'm not happy for her, I am. I love Brad and I know he loves her. He would have to after the way she treated him. He understood even then that she tried to push him away because she loved him so much.

"She's asking for you Bella." Ari tells me pulling me out of my thoughts.

Aidan finally told Lacy she needs to stop being mean to Ari and Lacy felt so bad that she had pushed them both so far away she's been slowly working herself back into their life. She adores Celine and that makes the whole situation that much harder for her but she happy to have them back in her life and Brad is relieved that he doesn't feel like he needs to pick Lacy over Ari anymore.

I walk into the room where Lena is finishing up her hair and try not to cry at how beautiful she is.

"I'm scared mom." She whispers and Lena hugs me as she runs out of the room.

"Why baby?" I ask her.

"What if he changes his mind about the baby thing? Or what if he decides I'm too young for him? Or what if one of my bad moods finally pushes him away? I don't mean to be so angry sometimes but it's all so unfair sometimes." She tells me trying really hard not to cry, her makeup is all done.

"It's normal to be scared baby, and I think it's normal for every bad what if… to run through your mind too. But you love Brad and he loves you and it's strong love Lacy. You've already been through a lot."

"Where you scared?" she asks and I can tell she's expecting me to say no so she can rub it in my face.

"I was terrified." I tell her honestly. She looks at me in shock.

"I thought you and daddy were like perfect, even then."

"Perfect doesn't exist. But we are perfect for each other. But I was 19 and I started thinking what if I'm too young or if we can't handle being broke why I'm in college and him and Em were just in the process of trying to figure out the shop. He worked at his mom's store and I worked weekends at the diner. We were broke. All we really had was the house and a beat up truck. Then I thought maybe I was just jumping into this because he was my first love and I was being stupid. I was totally losing it." I tell her laughing at how crazy I was.

"So why did you go through with it?"

"Embry. I don't know he knew what to say but he convinced me I was meant to be with daddy whether I married him at 19 or after college or never. He told me how I smile more when daddy is around and he asked me if I could imagine my life without him and he told me to try. I closed my eyes and pictured going off to college and being single and partying and I knew I didn't want that. I wanted your daddy." I tell her smiling.

"I can't imagine not being with Brad." She tells me quietly.

"Exactly."

We finish getting her ready and then everyone gets in place and my baby girl gets married.

At the reception she looks happy, something she doesn't often look anymore. I know Brad makes her happy but she's so consumed with the baby issues that sometimes the bad overshadows the good. I'm so relieved that she could let it go if only for tonight and hopefully the honeymoon too.

They are going skiing in Colorado and Lacy is super excited. We never really did family vacations because we always had so much going on so this is kind of her first big vacation. She's never been skiing ever but Brad used to go a lot and she's excited to learn.

She's usually so easily excited and having Aidan and Ari back in her life has helped.

Quil is dancing with Lacy and Brad comes to dance with me.

"I love her so much." He tells me and I smile and tell him I know.

"She's fragile, but she's strong. She always has been. Just don't let her focus on the baby thing for now. Keep her busy. I'm so glad she ended up with someone as wonderful as you." I hug him as Lacy comes up to him.

Soon after they leave and we go home.

"How does it feel to have a married daughter?" I ask Quil that night.

"With her, it feels like we did something right."

I think we probably did a lot of things right.
