I don't own anything

Chapter 23

"Emily, if you fidget one more time, I swear-" Cassi scolded as Emily attempted to pull the dress over her scars again.

"Cassi, shut up. It's her wedding day, she can fidget as much as she wants," I said, patting Emily's arm.

She smiled at me as Cassi glared. "Thank you, Kim," she said softly. "I just think I am showing too much skin," she looked at herself again. "This dress was a bad idea," she muttered under her breath.

"We think you look great," Cassi said as she adjusted the three-quarter length gloves on Emily's arms.

"Gorgeous," I added, fixing the pearl necklace I had given her to borrow.

"Sam will shit," Cassi said winking. "Especially once this whole thing is over and he sees what's under this pretty dress."

Emily blushed darkly. "I can't believe you convinced me to wear this lingerie."

"You needed something blue, Em. Besides you look hot," Cassi added.

Emily looked in the mirror again before looking away quickly. "Where's Leah?" she asked, changing the subject.

Cassi shook her head, not allowing Emily to see the scowl on her face. Cassi hated Leah for making Embry uncomfortable about his father. She thought that if Leah could be mean to Embry, she could be mean to her. "Who car-"

"She's waiting outside with the boys," I said quickly, talking over Cassi. "Cassi, help her put on the vail."

She nodded and placed the white vail onto Emily's head, pulling it over her face. "Oh, Emily. You look so pretty. Be happy, it's your wedding day," Cassi said sweetly. "I hope I look as great as you when I get married."

We both moved to Emily's sides, looking in the mirror. I adjusted my forest green summer dress that Emily had picked out for us to wear.

"We look pretty hot," Cassi said as she flipped her dark hair. "I hope I look as good as you when Embry and I get married."

A knock on the door made us all jump. "Hey, guys it's time," Jared's deep voice said through a crack in the door. He poke his head in and smiled at us. "Wow, Em. You look great," he said smiling at her before his eyes fell on me, instantly causing them to soften.

"Kim," he whispered, "... I-I think I just imprinted on again," he said quietly as he walked across the room. Seeing Jared in the black suit made my heart race. He leaned down and kissed my lips lightly.

"Hey, watch the make-up, loverboy," Cassi said pulling on his shoulder.

"Sorry, I can't help it," his eyes fixed on mine.

"Snap out of it, Jared! Emily has to get married now," Cassi said stomping her foot.

I looked over to my best friend, "did you really just do that?"

"Yes, now can we get this party started?" she said grabbing Emily's hand and pulling her out the door.

"Let's go, Jared. We walk right after Claire," I said, reaching up to kiss him once more.

"You are so stunning, I hope I can make it down the isle without falling," he said running his thumb across my cheek.

"I think you can handle it," I said softly.

"Hello! Kim, if I come in there and you're making out-"

"Chill out, Cassi. We're right here," Jared said, holding my hand tightly.

"You'll be great, Em," I said, kissing her cheek lightly. I smiled at her dad who had arrived this morning from the Makah Reservation.

I bent down in front of Claire and straightened her green dress. "Alright, Clairebear. When the music starts you know what to do, right?"

"I know. I wish I could walk with Quil, though," she said quietly, frowning up at Quil, who stood next to her. The little girl was chipping on Quil's will, and he looked at me for help. She had him wrapped around her finger, and she knew it.

"I know, sweetheart," I said quietly. "But Quil has to walk with Leah. I bet if you ask him really nicely, he will save a dance for you at the reception..."

Claire's eyes lit up as she looked up at Quil. "Will you, Quil?"

"Of course, Claire," he said, his eyes softening immediately. "Thanks, Kim. If she would have started crying, Leah would have been walking alone."

"No problem," I said as the music began to play. "You're up, kid," I smiled down at Claire before she danced off down the long isle.

Jared smiled at me as I returned to his side. "I can't wait to have kids with you," he whispered in my ear. "You're going to be such a great mom."

I smiled at him. "I can't wait either. Alright, you ready?" I said as I nodded towards the door.

"Whenever you are," he said confidently. I kissed his cheek lightly, causing him to sigh happily. "Let's go."

We made it to the end without much trouble. Jared proudly kissed my forehead before looking to his Alpha. Sam nodded at Jared before we separated to the rightful sides of the chapel.

I hardly noticed the rest of the wedding party walk towards us, Jared was occupying my full attention.

I tore my eyes away from Jared to see Sam's expression when Emily walked through the door. His knees almost buckled, but he saved himself before he fell. Sam's face split into a rare, full smile as he watched his imprint walk down the isle.

Once Emily reached us, I felt my eyes moving back to Jared. He was grinning at me, not paying attention to anything else in the world.

My thoughts drifted to the idea of marrying Jared. It made my heart do flips in my chest. I knew we wouldn't be able to for a few years at least, but it would be well worth the wait to be with him for the rest of my life.

The audience clapping brought us back to the world. I looked over and saw Sam and Emily kissing each other and I quickly started to clap too. Jared followed my lead, smacking his hands together, but still stared at me.

The wedding walked across the street to the large community hall that it was being held. Jared and I sat next to each other at the large table that the whole pack took up.

We watched Emily and Sam as the danced their first dance as a married couple. Sam looked like the happiest guy on earth and Emily was the center of his world.

I looked over to Cassi and saw her kissing Embry's neck. "Ugh, those two can't keep it in their pants for ten minutes," I said nodding over to them.

"Trust me, I know. Patrolling with Embry is impossible, it is all he thinks about," Jared agreed as he pulled me closer to him. "But I can imagine it would be sort of hard to patrol with me too, though."

"Perv," I teased.

"I don't only think about sex, it does come up every once and a while though," he confessed. "But there isn't much else I think about besides you."

I smiled at him and kissed him. "You look amazing, by the way," I said, moving my eyes down his body again. "I love you in a suit."

"Same to you, I meant what I said before. When I saw you in that room, every time I see you, I feel myself imprinting again and again," he said, his brown eyes meeting mine.

I opened my mouth to respond but Paul fell into the seat next to Jared, sighing loudly. "I am so bored," he said loudly. "I just want to eat your cake and leave," he said as he eyed up the wedding cake that I had made hungrily.

"It does look delicious," Jared agreed.

"Thanks," I said looking to the huge cake. It had been hard for me to figure out a style of cake that would feed a pack of hungry wolves, and the whole town of La Push. "I think it turned out pretty good."

"It looks amazing," Jared said. "I still can't believe you made that."

"Yeah, it was hard. But Emily loved it so it was worth it," I said as I looked back to Emily who was still wrapped up in Sam's arms. I had a feeling he wouldn't be letting go anytime soon.

"I hope if I ever imprint, she can make cakes like that," Paul said as he eyed my cake up again.

"Do you want to dance?" Jared asked as he watched Quil twirling little Claire around on the dance floor.

"Sure," I said smiling and hopping out of my seat, leaving Paul alone to stare at the cake.

Jared grabbed my hand and pulled me into his body, holding me close and swaying to the beat of the slow song.

"You're a pretty good dancer, Jar," I said into his warm chest.

"I try," he boasted, spinning me around before bringing me back to him.

I laughed and kissed his cheek. "I never knew."

"Next year, I will take you to prom and show you off to the whole school," he promised. "It sucks I couldn't take you this year."

I shrugged. "You were a little busy, you know, saving the town from a group of hungry, newborn vampires. I'm not too torn up about missing it," I said smiling up at him.

He nodded. "I still wish I could have taken you."

I kissed his cheek sweetly. "There's always next year."

"Definitely," he promised.

My eyes drifted back to Sam who was still clutching onto Emily for dear life. "I am glad they are happy. So many bad things have happened with them, they deserve this more than anyone," I said smiling at the newlyweds.

Jared nodded. "Yeah, he loves her so much. Almost as much as I love you," he said cheekily.

"You're quite the charmer today, Mr. Green," I said, fluttering my eyelashes at him.

He chuckled. "You bring out the best in me, you know that," he said kissing my cheek lightly. "I meant what I said, I can't wait to have kids with you. I can't wait to have kids with you."

I smiled shyly at him. "I can't wait either, Jared. When you say that you imprint on me... I do too. Every time I see you a fall harder and harder for you."

Jared flashed his white teeth at me. "I am the luckiest guy in the whole world, Kim."

"Yeah, you are," I teased, stepping away from him. Jared spun me back towards him, resting his chin on the top of my head.

"You have no idea," he whispered into my hair.

"I think I do, big guy," I said winking at him. He chuckled as he looked down at me. "Oh! They are cutting the cake, we have to watch."

Cassi walked over to us to watch Sam and Emily cut their wedding cake. "I swear, if Sam messes up that make up..." she died off as Sam sweetly fed Emily the cake. "Good boy," she said happily.

"He's not a dog... never mind," Embry said as he wrapped his arms around his girlfriend.

Jared and I rolled our eyes at them. I laughed as Paul basically ran towards the cake in order to get a piece. Seth quickly followed him, along with the rest of the pack that I had grown to love.

This group of people had become such important people in my life in such a short time. I had only known them for a little under a year and I didn't know what I would do without them.

The past year had been crazy. My best friend fell in love. I met Emily and Claire, two of the most important girls in my life. I had gained a pack full of overprotective brothers that would keep me safe in any situation. Most importantly, I found my soulmate. Jared was more than anything I could have hoped for in a boyfriend and I know that he will be an amazing husband and father some day.

I had gained the best life, and I would have to remember to thank my luck stars for everything I have been given.

I looked up at Jared and saw him starring at me. "I love you, Jared," I said, kissing his neck lightly.

"I love you too, Kim, more than you will ever know," he kissed my forehead and we looked back to Emily and Sam. I had a feeling we both were thinking that someday we would be just as blindingly happy as them on our wedding day.

... the end.

Ahh.. I don't know how I like the last chapter, you guys will have to let me know! I have never had to finish a story before, so I didn't really know how to tie things all up lol.

Relieve my anxiety and let me know how it was, even if it sucked. Which I am leaning towards..

If any of you are wondering. My next story, besides Going Home, my Paul story. (if you haven't read it, check it out! haha) is going to be a Harry Potter story. Cedric/OC. So, if you are into that, look for it. But it won't be out for a while because it will be relatively short and I want to have it mostly completed before I post it so that I can update more regularly.
