Preparations

Esme POV

"So there are going to be white calla lilies everywhere, okay? And the bridesmaid dresses will have to match, or it'll just look plain weird." Alice was babbling excitedly as she made the wedding preparations. I just stared at her, utterly bewildered.

"Um, Alice. Alice. ALICE!" She looked up, bouncing up and down in excitement. "Carlisle and I haven't even fixed the wedding date yet, you know."

"So that reminds me, love, would you like a winter or summer wedding?" I felt familiar arms embrace me from behind.

Alice pulled out a folder and displayed the pictures. "These are all the places you can have your wedding. Personally, for a winter wedding, I would say to have it inside. I mean, we vampires can handle the cold, but I'm pretty sure there's going to be human guests, too. So the best indoor place would be our house, right here!" She paused. "Oh! That means we can just hold the wedding in here, regardless of the season! But in summer, we can have the reception out in the gardens!"

I settled back into Carlisle's arms and just waited patiently as Alice released her pent up energy. It was August, which meant that it was almost time for the kids to go back to school. I was still a newborn, so no one was sure if I could handle working with humans yet, so I had apparently quit and taken up a job elsewhere.

Ever since June, when I'd first been changed, I had continued living at my Uncle Charlie's house. He had accepted my claim of being infected by a tropical disease, but he knew that there was something else. But he didn't pry. He was so much better than my ex-parents.

"So, Carlisle, summer or winter?" I asked.

He rested his chin on top of my head. "Whatever you would like, my dear."

"Alice?" She paused and looked up at me. "I think we should have an August wedding. That's when the gardens will be in full bloom."

"That's an excellent idea!" She started taking notes, still talking nonstop.

Bella came into the room. "What are you guys doing?"

"Discussing wedding preparations. Bella, what do you want your bridesmaid dress to look like?"

Bella seemed to blanch, though that was impossible, as she slowly backed away. "Um, I'm going to go do…stuff. Yeah." She ran off.

Alice was still talking. "And the food – well, you two might have to fake eating the cake. You'll have to cough it up later, but it's all for the sake of keeping up the human charade. Oh, Esme, who do you want to walk you down the aisle?"

I paused to think about it. traditionally, the bride's father would walk her down the aisle on her wedding day, but, to tell the truth, I don't think my father deserved it. In my book, a father was someone who cared for his child like the most precious thing to exist, and loved his child with all his heart. My father did none of that. The one man who was like my father was –

"Charlie. I want Charlie to walk me down the aisle."

Aw, Charlie is AWESOME in my story, isn't he? Review if you think so!
