Dangerous Love
Disclaimer: Oh, please, if I owned Twilight, I would make a whole bunch of friends and myself vampires, and one of my friends a werewolf. (It is recommended that you read Eternal Love and Broken Love first.)
Summary: Esme, now a vampire, is reunited with Carlisle, her love. But the short-lived peace is interrupted by werewolves, newborn armies, and danger around every corner.
Epilogue:
Esme POV
Alice and Rosalie reapplied my makeup and redid my hair. My frozen heart would be fluttering with nerves right now if I was still human.
"Something old," Alice sang as she clasped my grandmother's diamond necklace around my neck.
"Something new," Rosalie chimed in, adjusting the specially designed wedding veil for me on top of my head.
"Something borrowed," Bella added, coming into the room, handing me her gold bracelet that had been a gift from Edward.
"Something blue!" the three all squealed as they tossed something dark blue, silky, and small at me. I picked it up and gasped, tossing it back to them quickly.
"Come on, only Carlisle's going to see it on you," Alice replied to my action, smirking maliciously in her little innocent pixie way.
"So, how are you feeling?" Bella asked, handing me the…thing, back.
"Nervous. Jittery. Worried."
"Ah, that explains why Jasper's acting like a freaked out cat," Rosalie snickered.
"What if he realizes that he doesn't want me anymore?" I wailed. I was beginning to freak out now.
"Really, Esme. He loves you. He will never leave you. And we do not need Alice's visions to know that," Rosalie sighed, exasperated.
I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself down. "Okay, I'm ready." Bella nodded and stepped outside into the hallway to get Charlie, who was waiting to escort me down.
"And to think that you used to be the little girl who made mud pies in the backyard every day," he said gruffly, trying to hide his tears.
Rosalie and Alice were my bridesmaids. Bella would be my maid of honor, as she was actually related to me. The three of them smiled and headed downstairs.
"Thanks, Charlie. For everything," I whispered.
"You've always been the daughter that I never had," he mumbled.
"You've always been my real father…Dad."
He let a single tear escape before blinking furiously. "Let's go now." And we headed down the marble stairs.
I saw the Denali coven smiling encouragingly at me as I passed by them. My children looked like the happiest people to ever exist. Edward grinned from his place at the piano.
Then my eyes immediately went to him. My soul. My love. The reason that I existed. he was even happier than his children. He looked radiant as he smiled at me.
Charlie passed my hand to Carlisle. "Thank you for bringing her happiness."
Carlisle bowed his head respectfully. "It is my honor to have her love, sir." Then we stared into each other's eyes, until the very end.
"I do."
"I do."
"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Carlisle softly brought my lips to his, and the whole room erupted into cheers. Hours later, as the reception neared its end, a shadowy figure approached us. Heidi.
She bowed her head. "Congratulations. But keep in mind of Marcus's message. He is completely and utterly serious about everything in it." She smiled and disappeared into the crowd once more.
A danger had passed. But a new one, even larger than the last, was coming. I expelled these thoughts from my mind as Carlisle and I left for the waiting limousine, which would take us to the airport, where we would fly to our honeymoon destination. I was one step closer to my happily ever after.
Yay, wedding! Now, I DO have a sequel written out, Immortal Love (yup, definite trend here). BUT I need at least 20 people to tell me that they want to read it. And I'm warning you, it's the last in my CarlislexEsme series, so unless you are willing to stop at Book 4, feel free to send me any future ideas. But I also have a whole bunch of other unposted fanfics that I'll be posting...eventually.
