Yay! another chapter within the same month. Just so you know after watching mickey moose road rally for the twentieth time your brain turns to mush, I have a very demanding toddler. Ok you know the drill I don't own twilight,I'm not meaning to do any copyright infringements. We're almost to the end to please read and review.
I pushed the eggs around my plate while Rose and Bells talk about what we're going to do today. Rose ordered some coffee but Emmett sneak off and told the waitress to change it to milk. When he came back she stole a piece of his toast.
"I'm eating for two you know." She kissed his nose then shoved the toast in her mouth. I must have growled because Bella put her hand on my thigh.
"Have you thought any about getting married before or after the baby?" Bella asked as she squeezed my thigh.
"I don't know. I mean it would be nice to get married before but I don't want to be a whale in a wedding dress." Rose said a she scooped some gravy unto her eggs."Plus I always wanted to get married on the fourth of July. So I don't know we'll probably wait."
"Papa won't like that." I grumbled cramming some eggs in my mouth before Bella hit me.
"Well why don't we. I mean it's in two weeks. We can totally put together a wedding before then." Emmett said oblivious to the stares from the girls.
"It takes months to put together a wedding in Forks." Rose said with a deflated tone. She seemed so upset. I knew she loved Emmett and wanted to be married.
"So then lets have it at the ranch." I suggested nonchalantly as I sipped some coffee. Bella looked at me so I winked at her. Rose just sat there thinking.
"That could work Rose. There is a lot of room. We could call the parents have them come down. We could just get some off the rack dresses. What do you think?" Bella was a little over excited. Rose thought about and looked at Emmett he was mirroring her questioning look.
"Are you ready, I mean do you really think we can do it?" Rose whispered her face inches away from Emmett's.
"If you're ready I'm ready. Lets do it." He gave her a big kiss and I fought the urge to punch him again.
"So it's decided. My brother is getting married in two weeks." Bella squealed a little the gave me a big hug before jumping up and giving them a big hug.
We spent the rest of the day on the lake, Emmett and I fished while the girls went on and on about the wedding. We decided to wait a day or two then head to the ranch to start getting ready for the wedding.
It was finally time to go to the ranch and I awoke to Bells straddling me. She was already dressed and it looked like she had most of our stuff packed.
"What time is it?" I groaned as I pulled her down to me for a kiss.
"Eight, couldn't sleep so I got everything packed and ready to go. I wasn't sure how long we were going to gone so I got rid of the perishables and closed up the cabin." It worries me when she can't sleep so I just cupped her face hoping she'd read my mind. "Oh, don't worry babe, I'm just excited about the wedding." then she just bounced away leaving me semi hard and alone.
"Not cool darlin, not cool." I put on the jeans and shirt she left out for me. "Where's the lovebirds?'
She looked up from the cabinet, "They left an hour ago, they wanted to tell Jack by themselves. I warned against but Rose said Maria hid all of Jacks ammunition." We double checked the cabin and trailer then packed up the truck and headed out to the ranch.
"Are you sure you're okay with this wedding?"
"Darlin, I wish they would have waited but yeah I'm okay. Your brother is a good guy." I paused laughed a little. "Think Rose would get mad if Jack and I held shotguns during the ceremony?"
She snorted and smacked my arm. "Yeah, but we should take some wedding pictures with y'all doing that." She was starting to get a little accent. "She wants me to wear a blue dress and I'm just not on board with that idea."
"It's her day" I mumbled hoping that wouldn't make her mad.
"I know, I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up if you get lonely." She said leaning her seat back and drifted off. We got to the ranch and I carried her inside to my room. I closed the door quietly behind me and walked to the porch where Jack was gnawing on a cigar.
"Now don't you be getting any ideas and getting that pretty girl pregnant." He growled looking up at my window.
"No sir"
"Do you have any matches or a lighter?" He barked as he padded his pockets and chewed angrily on the end of the cigar.
"Nah, sorry papa."
"Damn nosy housekeeper of mine hid all of them." As if on que Maria came out with a couple of glasses of tea. "She's going to get herself fired.
"Growl all you want Mr. Jack, the doctor said you need to quit." She gave me a hug and told me there was some dinner on the stove for me and Bells.
"That damn fool sister of yours."
"I know papa. But they want to get married so they're trying to do the right thing. Plus wasn't dad my age when him and mom got married?" He grumbled for a minute then took a seat on the swing.
" She just damn lucky I was already planning a big barbeque for the family. I was gonna surprise Bella with having her parents come out to join us. Maddy had already made all the travel plans." I smiled and sat up on the rail around the porch. We chatted about the ranch for awhile when Bella came out with messy hair and a slightly annoyed look.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" She cooed at me as she wrapped her arms around me.
"You looked tired, sorry darlin."
"Hey there pretty girl, where's my hug." Papa said as he stood up. She smiled and gave him a big hug.
"Sorry papa, how have you been." She took a seat next to him and I was a little disappointed.
"Oh sweetheart can't complain." I heard Maria start laughing loudly from in the house. " Glad that all my grand babies are home."
"We're happy to be here." I said with a smile.
"Son, why haven't you gotten this girl something to eat, she's skin and bones. Git." I chuckled and went inside to be greeted by Maria with two plates of some food.
"You tell him to quit being a grump and come take his medicine." She half yelled at the open door.
"Dammit woman I'll take my medicine when I'm good and ready to." He yelled back.
"Jack David Whitlock you get in here and do what Doc McCoy said to do." She hollered at him. "Damn fool don't listen to anyone." She whispered the last part.
"I heard that." He said as he came in and stormed up the stairs.
"You couldn't hear a herd of buffalo in firework stand." I decided to escape to the porch to let them fight in peace. I handed Bells the plate of food and sat down next to her, we ate in comfortable silence while Jack argue with Maria.
The next few days was less exciting, Jack has me making the rounds while the girls called florist or something and Emmett and I going around picking up chair, ribbons and whatever else the girls sent us after. One night during dinner Rose told me they were picking out their dresses tomorrow and for us to go get our suits. She wanted to met at lunch so her and Emmett could go get their license. I followed Bells into our room and watched her get ready for bed.
"Darlin you have everything you need for tomorrow." I asked as she brushed her hair. She turned and looked at me.
"I was thinking about having your mom bring one of Rose old dresses down for me." She started braiding her hair and I went to my wallet to pull out the card I got for her.
"Here take this, get whatever you want tomorrow."
"I'm not taking your card Jas." She sighed as she tried to hand the card back
"Good because I wasn't giving you my card." She read the card and saw her name.
" Jasper you didn't?"
"Yeah, just saves time my love. Beside whatever is mine is yours. Now come to bed." I whispered scooping her in my arms before she could argue. It didn't stop her, but I had already added her to the account.
"Well then, I need to get a job and contribute." She was drawing designs on my chest with her index finger.
"Whatever you want darlin, don't worry about it right now." I kissed the top of her head and she snuggled into my chest.
The next day Emmett and I started to dig a pit for the barbeque while the girls went in town for their dresses. After about two three hours we were done and he was whining.
"Come on, I need to go take a shower. Rose will kill me if we're late." She would and I would laugh.
"Yeah, alright. Go ahead to the house, I'll go put the tools up." He walked off to the house and I gathered the tools to take to the barn. Ciarra snorted from the back so I took her and Astrid an apple a piece. They snickered and I jogged to the house. I got ready and drove us into town and met the girls for lunch. Bella gave me a kiss and tried to show me a bag but Rose intervened saying that if Emmett has to wait then I have to wait.
"Have you talked to Charlie?" Rose asked as she began eating.
"Yeah part of the agreement was I call home every week. He says him and mom are planning a vacation for the fourth. They think they are being sneaky." She started laughing.
"You think you can pick up the shoes I ordered on you way home. Papa said the preacher he was going to use is sick so we have to find one or a judge."
"Yeah, I have to go pick up me and Emmett suits so no problem." After we finished lunch we went to store to pick up the shoes and suits.
"She's not making you wear heels is she?" I asked as Bella looked in the bag. She smile and shook her head.
"No babe, she knows better then that." She laughed softly and handed the bag to me. I smiled and open the door for her as she got into the truck. As I got in on the other side she had scooted over to sit next to me. She put her head on my shoulder as we drove out of town.
"I miss you" She whispered running her fingers up and down my thigh.
"I know darlin, it's been so hectic round here. After the wedding things will calm down."
"I guess, I just miss you." She said it in an odd tone this time. Her finger getting a little higher on my leg.
"How about we take the day off tomorrow and go see a movie." I suggested.
"Can't babe. I have to go pick up the cake with Rose in the morning, then help Maria make the sides in the afternoon. After that we have the rehearsal dinner." Her hand was dangerously close to my crotch now.
"Okay well then after the wedding." I said silently willing myself to get soft. Her fingers started tracing my zipper.
"But I miss you now." She moaned out as she tugged gently at the zipper.
"Oh I miss you too." It finally clicked what she was saying. We had just entered the ranch property so turned off the dirt road and sped over to the pond. No one should be there. I grabbed the blanket from behind the seat then I grabbed Bella and march over to a shady spot. We made love for probably an hour. I had put my jeans back on and she had on my shirt, we were talking about the next couple days.
"I love you darlin." I whispered as I snake my hand under her shirt. She giggled and put her hands on my chest.
"For how long." She asked kissing my lips softly.
"Forever and for always." I kissed the top of her head. Now seemed to be the perfect time to propose. I've been meaning to since March.
"Bella darlin" Before I could finish my sentence my phone started ringing from inside the truck. I made a face and held up one finger to signal wait a minute. She giggled as I ran to the truck.
"Yeah" I answered before looking at the screen.
"Where the hell are you, papa was convinced you two were in a wreck. He's been calling you phone and mine." Rose screamed into the phone.
"We're at the pond. I'll call Jack. We just needed a break from all the wedding stuff." I explained as watched Bella try to find all her clothes. Then I realized Rose was being quiet."Rose?"
"Hey is there any fire wood there?" I did a quick scan around and saw some that I could use.
"Yeah, I thought we had enough for the pit?' I heard Rose chuckle and mumble something to someone on the other line.
"Okay, you to stay there. We'll be there in a few." she hung up the phone before I could argue.
"Looks like our siblings are coming to hang out with us." I said as watched her shimmy back into her jean shorts. She pouted and wrapped her arms around me. I turned on the radio and gathered up some fire wood while we waited for them. Bella called Jack and explained that she need some time off from the wedding stuff. He forgave because she's Bella. I shook my head as I dragged some more wood unto the pile.
Rose and Emmett joined us bring a big cooler and some chairs.
"This is the bachelor and bachelorette party." Rose explained handing a beer to me and Bells. "By the way you owe me an awesome one when I'm not pregnant and we can drink in bars." She then poured some ginger ale into a wine glasses.
"Not exactly how I picture my bachelor party." Emmett grumbled as we set the chairs up. "I was expecting more Hangover less great outdoors."
"Well when you get married at the last minute in the middle of Texas before you're twenty one you're options are limited." I opened my beer and slammed it against his.
"Just two days and we'll be bros for real." he said in a somber voice.
"You back out now and there won't be safe haven anywhere for you." I whispered.
"No worries there, just can't believe how fast life is moving." Rose came and sat in his lap and kissed his cheek.
"Me neither brother. Me neither." I agreed as Bella came to me with a big smile and sat in my lap.
