The past couple of nights have plagued me with constant nightmares. Whether it was depicting my death or the death of my family. I've been having trouble sleeping. The one comfort for me was that Alex would hold me at night. Watching over me as I slept.

I was grateful for once because I had a dreamless sleep. No dreams or nightmares. It was as if my body knew that I needed a break from these constant dreams.

Today was a day to celebrate. It was the big day for Bella and Edward. It was their wedding day.

I currently found myself in the kitchen, fixing me a bowl of cereal. Esme did some grocery shopping for me while we were here. I'm assuming that they don't go shopping as often anymore because I live somewhere else now. I was grateful for her generosity.

I just take a bite out of my cereal when arms snake around my waist. I smile and turn around to look at my handsome/beautiful boyfriend. "Hey," I tell him.

"Hey," he responds right before he pecks me on the lips.

"How did last night go?" Alex joined Jasper, Emmett, and Carlisle for Edward's bachelor party. He got back sometime while I was sleeping.

"It was fine. Caught some mountain lions and bears." I smile at him.

"Glad you had a good time." I lean in to kiss him when the front door slams open. We pause and look in the direction of the door. Standing before us is Alice with her hands over Bella's eyes. She starts guiding Bella towards the stairs so that she could start getting Bella ready in her room.

"What are you doing in here Alex?" Alice pauses and stares at him.

"Um. Coming to see my girlfriend," he states.

Alice huffs. "Just because you came back early from Edward's bachelor party does not mean you can keep Sophie to yourself all day. I need her help with the bride! She needs to get ready also. Make yourself useful and do some last minute touches before the guests arrive."

"Alice. It's 9:30 in the morning. The ceremony doesn't start till four. Does he have to go?" Can't I just spend some more time with him. Alex leans in and smiles into my hair.

"No! Absolutely not! He needs to help with final touches and I need you now!" Rosalie chooses that moment to walk into the kitchen.

"Edward's back," she states. Alice has a look of horror.

"Keep him out of here!" Alice practically shrieks. I watch in amusement as she rushes Bella up the stairs.

"Don't worry Alice. He's not going to cross you today," I say as she retreats up the stairs with Bella.

Rosalie chuckles. "I almost feel bad for her. Hurricane Alice is at a whole new category." I laugh at her comment.

"Is she always like this?" asks Alex.

"Pretty much. You better go. I need to finish eating before Alice freaks out even more." I lean in and peck Alex on the lips. He gives me one last smile before retreating out of the house.

"You know, you two are perfect for each other," says Rosalie.

I look at her and start eat my cereal. "How so?"

"I didn't like him at first because of him being in the Volturi previously. He also used to terrorize you." I grumble at the memory of us first meeting.

"Don't remind me. I couldn't stand him."

"I could tell how much he liked you. I saw it in his eyes every time he saw you. You didn't notice how much he would change when you would walk into the room. We all noticed though."

I pause in thought and ate the last bite of my cereal. "Perks of being a vampire I guess."

"I guess," Rosalie gives me a smile. "I never trusted him until you're trip to Italy." I grimace. I did not like to be reminded of being in that place. "I admired that he would go back just to protect you. That's when my view on him changed."

"Mine too," I reply. "I could already feel something changing between the two of us but didn't really think too much into it. That all changed when he decided to come with us. I think that's when I started to fall in love with him."

"He cares for you. I'm actually happy you found someone. I honestly never thought that it would happen," she laughs.

"You and me both. I thought I would grow up to be an old maid because of Emmett and Edward." We laugh together and I quickly wash the bowl.

"Rosalie! Sophie! What are you two doing! Get up here now!" I look over towards the stairs to see a fuming Alice. She's starting to scare me.

"Ok. Come on Sophie, before she bites our heads off." I smile at Rosalie and follow after her.

We walk into the room to see Bella sitting in a chair, wearing a robe. Alice is criticizing her for the bags under her eyes. Oh Alice.

"I can do her hair if you would like," interrupts Rosalie as she approaches Bella. Bella looks stunned. Probably shocked because she's not Rosalie's favorite person.

"Sure," says Alice. I watch as they interact with each other. Watching my sisters helping Bella getting ready for her wedding with Edward gives me a sense of happiness. It is just further signifying how we are much closer to becoming a bigger family.

I can't help but to already start to miss this. Even though I know that Bella will have control over her thirst, it is still hard to see them like this. I won't be around everyone for at least a year. I may not see all of them after this for two years. It stings to know that this is probably the last interaction I will have with all of them.

"Sophie. I need you're help with her makeup." I smile at Alice and walk to Bella as I get started. I make sure to keep her makeup as natural as possible.

It only feels like minutes, but I know that it's really been a couple of hours. Bella is finally done with her hair and makeup. I stand back and smile at her appearance. She looks beautiful.

It's in that moment that Bella's mom, Renee, comes into the room. "Bella!" she squeals. This is my first time seeing Renee in person. I can see that Bella gets her introverted personality from Charlie. "Oh you look beautiful, honey. Alice, Rosalie, Sophie. The three of you did a beautiful job!"

I smile at her in appreciation. We did do a good job. I notice movement from the corner of my eye and see Charlie standing in the doorway wearing a suit.

I'm suddenly starting to feel claustrophobic with everyone in the room.

"Well. I'm going to go get dressed. I'll see you after the ceremony." I give Bella a hug and make my way out of the room.

"Sophie. Get changed quickly so that I can do your hair and make-up," says Rosalie.

I turn and give her a smile. "Ok."

What feels like minutes turns into an hour. Maybe two.

It was almost time for the wedding. I take a look at my reflection one last time in the standing mirror that's in my room.

I was wearing a floor length lavender dress that had a one shoulder strap. The strap was made out of tulle so that it was almost see through. Little bits of lace decorated down the dress. I look into my eyes.

The lavender dress really accentuated my green eyes. Rosalie gave me a more natural look with the makeup. She made sure that everything was blended in. The only heavy thing on my face was the eye shadow. Rosalie wanted to really showcase my eyes.

She used a light purple and green eyeshadow to help compliment the color from my eyes. My green eyes were practically glowing.

The last thing that she did was my hair. It wasn't anything too fancy. She started by curling my hair. She braided little strands of my hair. She didn't do too many braids though. The braids were then placed in specific places before she rolled it into a low bun. I had little wisps of hair falling down my face. I've never seen myself this pretty before.

I'm interrupted by a knock on my door. I turn and watch Alex stepping into the room.

"Hey. Are you ready? Alice wants us to make our way outside." Alex was looking down at the wedding pamphlet when he walked in so he didn't notice my appearance at first. Everything changes when he looks up at me.

He stops in mid-step and stares at me. He's frozen like a statue. I'm starting to feel uncomfortable.

"Um. Rosalie did my make-up and hair. Wanted to make my eyes stand out more. It's not too much, is it?" Alex looks at me in awe as he closes the gap between us.

"No, it's not too much. You're beautiful Sophie. I've never seen someone so beautiful before." A wave of insecurity washes over me. I'm human. I'm no where near as beautiful as my family. Rosalie literally looked like a goddess.

"Really?" I lean into his hands as they start to cradle my face.

"Yes, really. You are more beautiful that anyone I have ever known. Don't feel insecure about that. You are my life and I cannot believe how lucky I am to have someone so beautiful and sweet by my side. I cannot wait to spend an eternity with you." I smile but can't help but to feel a knot in my stomach.

The plan was to turn me into a vampire but would that actually happen? What is happening in the real world? I'm in a coma. Will I eventually wake up and leave this place forever? I miss my family but I can't see a scenario where I'm not with Alex. He's my forever.

I smile and give him a long kiss. I pull him closer and break away as soon as a knock hits my door.

"Ok, stop with the kissing and go downstairs already! It's almost time! We have a schedule to keep." I look at Alice and smile at her.

"Ok. We're going." She slips away to go get Bella. I grab Alex's hand.

"Come on. We should go before my sister beheads the both of us." Alex smiles and kisses my forehead.

I wordlessly follow him as we make our way into the backyard. Flowers line the aisle and chairs. The archway that was behind Mr. Weber, who was officiating the wedding, was decorated in lavender and other different kinds of flowers. Alice has really out done herself.

I look around at the guests that are going towards their seats. Mike, Angela, Eric, and Jessica all sit in a row together. Jessica keeps looking around and I can only guess that she's talking about how Bella is pregnant. My eyes make contact with the four of them.

I smile and wave to them. Angela smiles and waves. Jessica manages to smile back. Mike and Eric just stare. It's like they are hypnotized. Just as quickly as they stare at me, they suddenly freeze and turn their heads straight forward abruptly. Angela and Jessica start to laugh. Confused, I turn an look at Alex who is glaring in their direction. Oh, so that's why.

"Calm down. They are harmless," I tell him.

"They need to back off," he grumbles. I laugh and steer him in a different direction.

"You don't need to worry about anything." A flash of red catches my eye. I turn towards the color and realize that it's Tanya. I smile in delight and run towards her. Completely leaving Alex behind.

"Tanya!" I squeal just as I launch myself into her arms. She laughs as she hugs me.

"There she is. I've missed you." Just as I step away from her, Kate grabs me into a hug as well.

"You really know how to scare someone." I grimace and step back. The last time that I saw the Denali's, was when I ran away to make sure Bella didn't jump from the cliff. Me and Alex were visiting them when I decided to go to Forks based on dreams that I was having.

"Yeah. Not my brightest moment. Sorry." Kate smiles and shakes her head.

"I's fine. All in the past. I am a little annoyed though." My brows furrow in confusion.

"Annoyed? About what?"

She huffs. I barely notice the smile on Carmen and Eleazer's face. "How could you not tell me about moving out of Forks and into a house with Alex!"

I'm floored. I didn't realize that I needed to tell them. "Oh," is the only thing that I can mutter.

I hear laughter behind me before an arm snakes around my waist. "I didn't know that I had to tell you every single detail about our life together," he tells Kate.

She huffs in annoyance. "You do when it concerns Sophie, Alexander." My eyebrows shoot up as a smile creeps onto my face.

"Alexander?" Alex playfully glares at Kate and groans.

"I don't like that name," he grumbles. I smile at him.

I look at my cousins and notice that someone is missing. "Where's Irina?" The atmosphere seems to go tense. Alex grips my waist tighter in his hand.

Eleazer is the one to speak. "She's running a little behind. She should be here soon." I stare at him in confusion before I realize what's going on. Of course.

"She's still upset about Laurent." Carmen gives me a small nod. "He came after Bella."

"She doesn't believe that, unfortunately," responds Tanya.

"What do you believe?" Where they all on her side?

Kate sighs. "I don't know what to believe. Irina trusted him. I always felt that there was something off about him."

I purse my lips. This was not how I wanted to spend time with my family. "It's hard to trust someone when they worked with the person who was trying to kill you." I'm making my stance perfectly clear for them.

"Let's not do this right now. The wedding is about to begin. I don't want to ruin this special day for Edward," interjects Tanya. Tanya, always trying to be the peace keeper. I sigh and nod.

"Ok. I am glad that you are all here. I'll talk to you later." Alex silently leads me to a seat in the front row.

"Always family drama. Wouldn't be a wedding without it," he replies.

"I'm sorry for bringing it up. Not the best time."

"Don't apologize. You had every right to say something on the matter. I, for one, was indifferent about him. I would always be cordial to him. Don't worry about anything. Everything will be ok." I look at him and give him a tight smile.

"Ok." I wasn't happy about Irina but I wouldn't let today be spoiled by my opinions. It was Edward and Bella's day. Nothing could spoil this. Or so I would hope.

Soft music starts to play. Signaling that the ceremony was about to begin. I start to relax and watch as Edward walks down the aisle. I exchange a quick glance with him and smile. I was happy for him.

All too soon, we all stood as Bella walked down the aisle. She looked breathtaking in her Victorian style wedding gown. I couldn't help but to admire her.

The vows went by smoothly. I clutched onto Alex's hand the entire time. Seeing Bella and Edward being so happy brought me joy. It makes me wonder when it will be my turn with Alex.

All too soon, the ceremony was over. They said their I do's and were announced as Mr. and Mrs. Cullen. I stood up and clapped as they walked down the aisle, hand in hand.

The ceremony was over and all that was left was the reception.


Sorry that it took me a little while to update. Work has been crazy busy. I was also back and forth on how to write this chapter. What do you think about Sophie's interaction with the Denali's? I'm just going to say that more drama is about to come. I hope you enjoyed it. Until next time.
