"Seriously, I don't understand everyone's affinity with pink," she said, staring in the mirror. Kim's bridesmaid dress was a shade of light pink, with thin straps and a big bow starting at her waist and drooping down below her ass. It was even worse then Emily's had been. Luckily for Leah, however, Kim hadn't insisted on putting Leah's hair into a braid. She had left it like it was, and Leah was grateful.
"When I get married, I'm going to put my bridesmaids in green. Or blue. Or maybe even black."
Jacob laughed, standing behind her in the mirror and staring at their reflections.
"You're getting married?" He asked, playing with her hair.
"Didn't I tell you? I met someone. He's very handsome, very tall, and filthy stinking rich."
Jacob grinned. "Well I can't compete with that."
"Nope. Not unless you decide to buy me a house, or something."
He threaded his arms underneath hers, wrapping them around her waist.
"I'll look into it."
"Good luck with that," she told him, leaning back into him while his lips fondled her neck.
"You know what my favourite part of this dress it?" She asked him.
"Hmm?"
"My boobs look even in it."
Jacob laughed, lifting his head and staring at them in the mirror.
"You're boobs are fine, Leah. I like them very much."
Leah rolled her eyes, turning around and grabbing her bouquet off the chair and going to stand behind Emily.
"You would say that," she told him, threading her arm through his. Emily turned around and smiled. Leah smiled back.
"Aren't these dresses great?" Emily asked her as the music started up. Leah nodded.
"Definitely. You look fabulous." She wondered if Emily could sense her sarcasm. Probably not.
"So do you!" Leah nodded, trying to hold back a chortle.
"You'd look even better out of it," Jacob whispered in her ear.
"You're lucky I can't hit you right now, or I would," she warned him as they started to walk down the aisle. Jacob just laughed.
Leah stared at Emily's head in front of her. She smiled at the people sitting in the pews. She made a face at Claire, causing her to burst into laughter and Quil to smile like a fool, as he always did when Claire did anything cute. Then she broke away from Jacob and went to stand behind Emily.
When Kim walked through the doors and everybody turned to look at her, Leah looked at Jared's face instead.
His eyes immediately lit up, and the smile that stretched across his face was a mile long. Leah caught Jacob's eye. Whipped, he mouth, and Leah rolled her eyes, planning on reminding him that not too long ago, he was the same way.
It wasn't easy. Jacob still thought about Renesmee a lot, and he still went over there, often. He would hang out with her and Nahuel, when he was there, acting like a friend and being all buddy buddy. Sometimes Leah would go, but she would mostly just stand there awkwardly in the corner and watch, jealously creeping up in her stomach. Sometimes Edward would talk to her, but mostly she would just stand there. Most days, she just stayed at home. But he would always talk to her last thing at night, and sometimes he would even stay over, as long as he snuck out before Sue found out.
Kim, for her part, looked beautiful. Her hair was up, but strands hung loosely down, framing her face. Her eyes were made up spectacularly, and her dress hugged her curves nicely. When she saw Jared, her face broke out into a smile that rivaled his, it was so large and happy.
Leah kind of wanted to gag, it was just so happy and beautiful and lovely.
But it didn't hurt. That was the thing. Pain was no longer her constant companion. And for some reason, she figured it had something to do with the large, smiling man standing across from her.
Great, I'm turning into some cheesy love story. I might as well just shoot myself, she thought to herself, resisting the urge to roll her eyes at her own stupidity.

"Would you like to dance?"
Leah looked up at Jacob. "I'm feeling an odd sense of déjà vu."
"I'm serious. Come dance with me."
Leah rolled her eyes. "Fine. But I'm not happy about it."
"Leah, you're not happy about anything."
She shrugged. "That's a moot point."
He laughed, pulling her up against him and twirling her out on the dance floor, nearly knocking over Kim's parents in the process.
"Careful!" She laughed, as Jacob apologized to them. Jacob smiled.
"Whoops."
Leah shook her head. Jacob's hand fell on the small of her back, pulling her close, and the other one found her hand.
"Where's Seth?" Jake asked, his chin resting near the top of Leah's head.
"He's over there. Dancing with Mallory."
"So he finally got her to talk to him?" He asked, turning Leah around so he could see him, dancing with a small girl in his arms.
"She's still with her boyfriend. But they're talking."
Jacob squeezed her hand. "I saw Becky walking the other day."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah. She was with a guy. She looked happy."
Leah sighed, resting her head on his shoulder.
"That's good," she said.
They spent the rest of the night dancing, until if was finally time to go home.
xxx.
When Leah got in, Seth was still out. She shook her head, but she decided she really didn't want to know.
"Did you have fun, Leah?" Her mother asked. Leah nodded.
"Didn't Kim look beautiful?" Her mother asked, staring off into space. Leah just smiled, and then excused herself to bed.
She was just about to give in to unconsciousness when she heard a light tapping on her window. Cursing, she got up, threw open her blinds…
And saw Jacob balancing precariously on a tree branch.
"What the fuck are you doing?" She hissed.
"I'm coming into your bedroom. Move."
"You could have used the front door!"
"This is more… romantic."
"There will be nothing romantic about me having to rush you to the Cullen house when you break all the bones in your body."
"Get out of the way so I can jump, Leah!"
Scowling, she did, but not before she told him, "If you fall out of that tree, I promise you I will not stop laughing for two days straight."
He shot her a look and then swung into her bedroom, landing with a bang on her floor. Leah rolled her eyes.
"Great. You just woke up the whole damn house, Jacob."
He stood up, rubbing his backside.
"Next time I'll just stay home then," he retorted, glaring at her. Leah shrugged and then got back into bed.
"Fine with me. How did you even get into that tree?"
Jacob sat down on the bed. "I'm magical."
"Clearly."
Leah closed her eyes, snuggling deeper beneath the blankets. She really was tired.
"Jacob?"
"Hmm?"
"Are you going to lie down or are you just going to sit there the whole night? Because that's kind of creepy."
Jacob laughed softly. "Yes, it is pretty creepy." Then he lay down and wrapped an arm around her waist, burying his nose in her hair.
"Make sure you're gone before my mother wakes up," was all she said. Jacob murmured his promise, and then they both drifted off to sleep.
-FIN-
This chapter was a lot shorter then others, but it was the epilogue. Sorry for that. BTW, did I get anybody with the whole wedding thing? You didn't honestly think I would end with them getting married, did you?! I hate when that happens, but maybe that's just me.
I know some of you have been or might wonder about Seth. I have that all mapped out. I plan on writing a story about it. I just need to, um... start.
Anyway, I can't thank you guys enough for all your reviews/alerts. They made me uber happy. Thank you all for making this so enjoyable (I feel so corny).
Thanks and remember, please review! -grin-
