29 years.

That was how long I had waited for Nessie to grow up and say yes. I was able to wait because I only wanted what she wanted. She wanted to give her parents at least the full 18 years and she gave them 29. I didn't mind.

It's been a few months since Nessie agreed to marry me finally. I had needed the time to finish healing and time for Alice to plan our wedding.

And speaking of the tiny vampire, she had really outdone herself this time.

Nessie had wanted a wanted a wedding outside, at dusk. So all of her family could show up and watch. The time of day made the lights buried in the trees visible and made then glow, a halo of light in the darkening forest, Copper and cream ribbons were tied into fancy bows and were places on the pillars that framer the area and seemed to keep the guests from spilling out into the woods from the clearing.

And speaking of the guests, it looks like the whole pack is here. Sam is standing in for my father who passed away the year before. Charlie and Sue are sitting next to Sam's family and my two sisters. The rest of the pack –excluding Seth, Quil and Embry- were missed in with the vampires and few humans, laughing and having a good time. My little Nessie had done such a great job in bringing together the races that before had next been able to co-exist without killing each other. All because she was the half-vampire who had a werewolf (Shape shifter) fall for her. Able to bring them together because she was, I'll admit, Bella's child.

I could most likely stand here for a few more hours and muse on how Nessie could be so tolerant to pull together all these people just she could have her family get along. So she didn't have to be the 'half vampire'. So if we wanted to have kids they wouldn't be shunned by one part of their family for being half an enemy.

But it looks like I won't get the chance as Embry nudges me and nods to the back where Rosalie is standing. As much as she dislikes me she was all to happy to play the maid of honor for her niece.

She, like Alice and Claire, is wearing a silk copper dress. The blond is wearing a low cut sleeveless version while Alice's dress is a halter and Claire was in a spagattii strap. Once they had taker their spots my eyes trained to the archway at the back. AS they focused, Nessie and Edward turned so everyone could see them.

The first thing I notice was the dress. It was white and cream with strands of shiny copper weaving in and out of the white. It almost looked as if strands of Nessie's hair had been used instead of thread. Around the middle was a copper colored sash with a bow in back. It was sleeveless but the veil covered the top half of her arms. What I could see of her skin was sparkling while she was glowing from the rays of the slowly fading sun; she was an angel and the sun was her halo.

Two bouncy curls framed her glowing, happy face while the rest was piled up in a messy bun and topped by a lacy veil. Through the veil I could see the excitement brimming over in her chocolate brown eyes and her cheeks had a rosy glow. I had never once believed Nessie could be more beautiful then she usually was. How wrong I had been.

The ceremony seems to take no time at all and soon I am able to once again kiss Nessie. I slowly lift her veil, smiling back at her, and then I pull her into a deep kiss. She throws her arms around my neck and kisses back. After a moment we both pull apart, still smiling and turn to face our family. I saw her send me a coy smile over Bella's shoulder and I grinned.

Man, the honeymoon was going to be great.

--The End--

Lilly: Okay. Done. I have many more ideas and once I get a calm point in my life again I will maybe get to writing them Not all of them Nessie/Jake. I love the couple but I love other couples (Alice/Jasper) too. I hope you enjoyed it and I hope to see you again.
