It's the last chapter, the wedding chapter, be excited! Also, there is the link to Bella's wedding dress on my profile.
Bella's POV
"I can't do this," I muttered.
"Yes you can," Rose told me. She rubbed my arm before continuing to mess with my hair.
"No I can't," I said. "I can't get married. I'm only eighteen!"
"You're an eighteen year old vampire in love with your mate," Rosalie reminded me. She finally pined it back into a messy bun that made it looked like she wasn't trying to hard, yet still make me look perfect. "Done." She pinned in the sapphire clip my mother had given me into my hair and turned me to a full length mirror.
"Wow," I whispered as I looked over my dress. It was simple, yet elegant. The form fitting wrap around made me look taller than I actually was, I'm sure that was what Rose was going for. "I don't know how you got the perfect one."
She shrugged. "I know you Bella," she smiled. "Now, be happy. You are walking down in isle in a few minutes to marry the man you love, with your three best friends as bridesmaids and daughter and son in the wedding."
I closed my eyes and sighed. "Okay Rosalie, I'll stop," I said. I can do this! I need a peep talker, not someone who just tells me facts. "Where's Mia?"
Rosalie groaned. "Am I not-" Though Rose couldn't finish her sentence because Mia walked in.
"Sorry I'm late," she said. Mia was in a pair of jeans and an old stained shirt. "The traffic is horrible in Seattle and some kid with baby fat and blonde hair tried to hit on me downstairs."
"Why aren't you in your dress?" Rose snapped. "Any your hair's a mess!"
Mia touched her normal "I just got out of bed do you really think I'll spend an hour on my hair" do. "What?" she asked innocently. "I was going to brush it when I got here."
Rose groaned. She flattened her perfectly straight dress. "Just put your dress on, I'm going to check on the guys," Rosalie disappeared out the door.
I looked to Mia, my eyes full of pain and worry. She offered me a smiled and hugged me. "You can do this Bella!" Mia cheered. "You're beautiful, prefect, loving, caring, sweet, just plain awesome and so much more! Is that a good enough peep talk?"
I smiled and giggled at her trying to be helpful yet being herself at the same time. "Yeah Mia, thanks," I looked back to the mirror. Mia was right, I was pretty. Rose was right, I was about to marry the love of my life, I just needed to be happy and not worry.
Twenty minutes later, everything was set up. All the guests were in there seats downstairs. Angela, Rosalie, and Mia were standing in front of me, all in their line things that Rose had organized for the bridesmaids. Now I was waiting for the music to start. Finally we could hear piano playing flowing up the stairs and the ceremony was starts.
With my new gracefulness, I didn't trip once on the stairs, though Ang did stumble a bit in her heels. Charlie stood at the bottom of the stairs with his arm out for me. I smile at him and took it. "You look beautiful Bells," he commented as we walked to the music, both of us awkwardly trying to keep up with the beat.
"Thanks dad," I grinned. "I'm going to miss you."
He nodded. "I'm always here for you Bella, just call when you need me," he arm tightened around mine as he said this.
This must be hard for him, giving up his only daughter. I guess it was a good thing he trusted Jasper like his own son. Charlie had told me that he was glad I ended up with Jasper since it seemed like he'd take care of me, that he'd be my best friend and husband. No matter what anyone said, I would always miss my dad. Even though I'd lived with Renee for most of my life, he was, and always will be, the best dad I'll ever know.
I watched my converse covered feet step onto the white carpet that was the Cullen living room. Yes, I said converse. Surprisingly, I was allowed to not wear heels. "It's her special day," Mia reminded Rosalie, "if she wants to do it in sneakers let her." Rosalie had huffed and walked away muttering something along the lines of how it would ruin the dress. Either way, I was wearing a pair of my favorite shoes on my special day and I didn't care who stared at me, I'd become used to it.
I looked up and saw everyone staring at me. Even with my mom's comforting smile from the front row, I could shake the fear from my body. I had always hated attention and that never changed. Even today, when it was supposed to be the best day of my life, I couldn't shake the feeling that I might trip, fall, and ruin everything. If I had a heart beat, it would be out of my chest and across the room by now.
A sense of calm came over me and I looked up to see Jasper's smiling face. His cheeks looked about to break from how big his grin was. His eyes showed nothing but love. I barely tore my eyes away from his to see his tux. It was simply, yet completely Jasper. I could see his civil war metals on it. My eyes meet his again and that's all I saw. It didn't matter that everyone was staring at me, it didn't matter if I tripped and fell, all that matter was that Jasper was here. He was mine and I was his, and today, we would make that known to everyone.
Before long I had reached him. Charlie unhooked his arm from mine and kissed my forehead. "I love you Bells," he whispered.
"I love you too dad," I told him before he moved out of way.
Jasper took my hands. "You look beautiful," he smiled at me. "Like always."
I looked down and bite my lip. All I could think about was how lucky I was that blushing was now impossible. "Thanks," I managed to mutter before everything started.
I'm sure everyone was listening to everything anyone said. I heard Jessica Stanley in the background about how I had "lucked out" with getting two Cullens, but ignored her completely. I wasn't sure if Jasper was even listening to what the priest was saying, I knew I wasn't. I caught on to a few words, love, forever, eternal, but didn't hold onto them. I was lost in Jasper's gold eyes and his smile. He made me lose myself and surroundings. As far as I knew, we could be back in that meadow he brought me to when he proposed.
I felt something touch my leg. I glance back and saw Mia with wide eyes. "I do," she mouthed.
Oh! I snapped my head back to Jasper. He was resisting the urge to chuckle. "I do!" I said. "I really do." I squeezed Jasper's hands. He smiled back and offered me a squeeze.
"By the power vested in me, I know pronounce you husband and wife," the priest said with a smile. "You may kiss the bride."
Jasper leaned down. "I love you," he said before pressing his lips to mine. I throw my arms his neck and pulled him closer to me. I could have stayed like this forever, not having to breath. The only thing that reminded me that I couldn't just stay like this forever was a cough from our friends and family.
I pulled away first. Jasper chuckled and put his arm around me. "Come on my beautiful wife," he whispered. "Let's go greet our new families."
I nodded and turned to go see my mom. A flash of color caught my eyes. I looked up and saw a pink dress leaning against the wall farthest away from me. I followed the fabric to the person's face and had to hold back my gasp. It took me a minute to take Alice in. Her short pixie cut had grown out to be shoulder length.
Alice offered me a small friendly smile and a wave before disappearing through the doorway.
Jasper nudged me. "You okay?" He asked. I nodded, not wanting to have any trouble today. Worry still showed on Jasper's face but didn't question me further.
Esme had set up a large tent in the backyard for the reception. Everything was perfect, as I expected. Esme doesn't do half of a job. She does everything's that's needed and thankfully doesn't go overboard. Jasper introduced me to his brother, Peter, and Peter's wife Charlotte. Esme introduced me to the Denali family. Unsurprisingly, Tanya didn't like me. I knew she'd hate me because I had dated Edward but didn't think she'd still hate me since I was over him.
"Ignore her," Kate told me. "Tanya just doesn't get how to let go of stuff." They blond vampire smiled and hugged me. "Welcome to the family."
I smiled. "Thanks Kate," I said. "I'm glad someone understand," I said that toward Irina. She, like Tanya, didn't like me. Though she didn't resent me as much as Tanya, she still did not like me.
Irina huffed. "Whatever!" She yelled before stomping off.
I rolled my eyes. "Hey, someone wants to dance with you," Jasper whispered in my ear. He pulled me over to where Jacob and Mia stood.
My friend smiled at me. "You gotta share sweetie," she muttered. Mia grabbed Jasper's hand and pulled him off to the dance floor.
I looked back and saw Jacob glaring at Jasper. I smirked. "I guess you're the one who wants to dance with me?" I chuckled.
Jake nodded. "Yeah, just didn't think Mia…" He let his thought go and turned back to me. "Never mind, I wanted to dance with my best friend on her big day."
I smiled and rested my arms around his neck. "Thanks Jake, I'm glad I get to dance with my friend too." He nodded and set his hands on my hips. We swayed back and forth, neither of us knowing how to dance. I glanced away from Jacob and saw that flash of pink again. I watched Alice lean up against a chair and watch me dance. She still had that smile on her face but I didn't want to believe that she was go to be nice now. "Jacob, I have to go," I muttered. Before he could answer I walked away.
I motioned for Alice to meant me outside. She nodded and disappeared before anyone could actually see her. I walked outside the tent trying not to attract any attention. I found Alice a little ways outside. She had a small, sweet smile on her face. "What are you doing here!" I snarled.
"Nice to see you too Bella," she laughed. "Wow, you really are a beautiful vampire. My visions didn't fail me."
"What do you want Alice?" I snapped. I was not in the mode to deal with right now. I did not want to see her on my wedding day!
"Calm down," Alice said, not losing her temper once. "I just came to see your wedding. I wanted to make sure it was perfect."
"Why would I believe you?" I asked. "You kidnapped me!"
"And I'm sorry for that," she tried. "Look, I really am sorry. I've gotten visions about you. I've seen them, Amy and Hayden. You have beautiful children by the way. I just wanted to come and apologize," Alice looked up at me with large gold eyes. "I'm so sorry, I almost got you killed and I wish I could take it back. I'm sorry about all the crap I've pulled."
I wanted so badly to yell at her and tell her to fuck off that I would never forgive her but I couldn't do that. No matter how much trouble Alice has caused me, I could see it in her eyes. She really was sorry. "Why? What made you change your mind?" I asked. If she had a good reason, if I could tell for sure that she had changed then I might forgive her.
A small smile came on her face. "Actually you're the one who made me change," she admitted. "I had a vision of you and Jasper with Amy and Hayden. I saw how happy you four were and I realized I could have killed you and those two innocent children. I knew then I was wrong. I tried to tell Edward but he wouldn't hear it, say how if he could, he would try to get you back, so I left. I've been in Seattle, keeping an eye on you, when I saw that your wedding was soon I wanted to come and see if you could ever forgive me. So will you?"
She has changed, I could see it in her eyes. No matter what Alice has done to me, she still had some good left in her. And that good what to be forgiven.
I took a deep breath. "I forgive you Alice," I said.
Suddenly she throw herself on me. "Oh my God Bella! Thank you! You wouldn't believe how happy I am to know you forgive me!" Alice smiled.
"No problem Alice," I smiled back at her. "You know if I was still human you'd have crushed me."
Alice's laugh sounded like soft bells, it was so familiar and comfortable. I didn't even realize how much I had missed Alice until I allowed her back in my life. "May I see them?" She asked.
I immediately knew she was talking about my children. "I don't know, Alice."
"I just want to see them," she pleaded. "I don't even have to meant them, I just want to see if they are more beautiful than in my vision."
I sighed. "Alright, but I need to ask Jas," I paused, rethinking. "My husband first." The word came of my tongue with ease. That just proves how much I love him.
Alice nodded. "Let's go, I'll be needing to apologize to him also," she said. I nodded and we walked off, back into the tent.
When we walked in the entrance, I noticed how Jasper, Emmett, and Jacob were whispering. When they smelt Alice their heads snapped up immediately. Jasper was by my side before I could even breathe. Emmett was standing in between Alice and myself, making sure there was no contact between us.
"Leave," Jasper snarled.
"I just came to apologize," Alice said.
"We do not want your apology," Jasper snapped. Emmett, and a now present, Jacob nodded in agreement.
"But-" Alice tried, but Jasper cut her off with a snarl.
"Jasper!" I snapped. He looked at me. "Alice is here to apologize, I've already accepted hers," I explained. "Now it's your turn to hear her out."
"Bella," he tried. I shook my head. "Alright Alice, since my wife is willing to trust what you say, let's hear it out." He exaggerated the word wife so she would get the hint.
Alice nodded and told him almost exactly what she'd told me. "Also, I'm sorry for how I treated you before we meant Bella. I shouldn't have lied to you, I should have told you that I wasn't your mate, for that I am sorry."
Jasper stared at her for a moment, most likely trying to decided if she was lying. "You're being truthful," he finally said. "I accept."
Alice beamed. "Thank you so much Jasper," she looked at Emmett. "I'm sorry for anything I did to you and Rosalie also, I was a total bitch but am trying to improve on it."
I smiled. So I don't trust her completely yet, but it was a start for her to apology for what she did. It meant her heart wasn't fully made of stone.
"Someone wants to see you," I heard Renee say. I turned around and saw she was holding Amy and Hayden. "Sorry," she said when she saw we were in the middle of a conversation, "this two have been muttering mommy and daddy for the last ten minutes." I took my babies and they instantly relaxed. "You look beautiful Bella."
I smiled. "Thanks mom," I told her.
"It was so nice of you two to take in Hayden and Amy," Renee continued. "The fact that you two are so young adds to the how nice it was. It's not easy being a young parent."
I nodded. "I know mom, but I couldn't leave these two," I kissed their foreheads. "They are too sweet to give away."
My mom smiled and nodded. "I love all three of you," she pulled us into a hug. "Come on Jasper you're part of the family too." Jasper smiled as Renee pulled him in. "It's just one big happy family now." When she finished hugging us she walked away, back to Phil.
"They are more amazing than I saw in my visions," Alice commented. "Hello Hayden, Amy. I'm Alice."
The twins looked up at me with questioning looks on their faces, as if to ask if it was okay to talk to Alice. I nodded.
"Alice," Hayden smiled.
"Pretty hair!" Amy cheered.
Alice smiled. "Thank you," she grinned. "Thank you for letting me meant them." She told Jasper and I.
"Just don't betray us again, Alice," Jasper said sternly. She nodded and walked off.
A slow song can on as Rosalie walked up to me. "I'll take them now," she said, taking Amy. Hayden jumped out of my arms and into Emmett's. Causing Emmett to cheer.
"Would you care to dance?" Jasper asked me. I nodded and took his hand. He lead me to the dance floor and placed his hands on my hips, mine on his neck. We swayed and turned silently for the first few songs.
"I'm having so much fun," I smiled. "Today was perfect." I laid my head on his chest.
Jasper smiled and put his arm on my waist. "Let's go off for a little while," he whispered. Jasper pulled me out the tent before I could answer. We walked into one of Esme's garden's and sat down on a stone bench. Jasper pulled a daisy out of the ground and placed it in my hair. "Beautiful, just like you."
I smiled. "I love you so much," I kissed him.
"I love you too Bella," he said. "I'll love you for all of our eternal lives, Isabella Marie Swan Whitlock."
I laid against him, looking out at the sunset that was breaking through the clouds. "What a perfect ending to a perfect day," I mused. It felt like a movie, a fairy tale wedding with a sunset at the end. It was too perfect to be real yet it was.
"I agree," Jasper said. His arms tightened around me and I started to let my eyes close. I let my imagination drift off and my eyes close. As if I was still able to sleep, I thought about what the rest of my days will be like. Who knows, for all I know this could be the end. Though, in my heart, I knew it was just the beginning.
There it was, that's how the story ends. I just couldn't help myself, I had to make Alice come back. I don't like Edward so I kept him away. Thank you everyone who's ever read this and mega thanks for anyone who's ever reviewed. I love you guys please review and thanks for reading. =]
