So guys, here's the epilogue. And it's inspired by my mom and dad who did in fact get married in Vegas. I believe I was 10 and my sister was 8, but since I have the memory of a goldfish I'm not sure. Hope you enjoy it!
Ok, let me try this again. I kinda forgot important info, and thankfully PrincessCurlyQ reminded me about it. Lots of thanks go to her for remembering something I didn't. And I just couldn't leave the chapter the way it was without adding that little bit of info.
2 years later"Reneesme! Hurry up, we have got to leave already. We're late enough as it is." I yelled up the stairs.
"Hold on mommy." She yelled back down in response to me. I huffed in annoyance. I love my daughter, I truly do, but some days she drives me up a wall. Today is a great example of that. The one day we have to be on time, we're late because Reneesme can't find her favorite stuffed animal.
It's about 7 am and we're supposed to be leaving, realistically now, that way we could get to Seattle on time for our plane. Oh, did I forget to mention that Edward, Alice, Jasper, Reneesme and I are going to Vegas? Yeah, probably should have mentioned that first, but oh well.
Anyways, it's not like we're going just to go. The real reason we're going is so Edward and I can get married. Hence the reason that Alice and Jasper are going as well. The only thing was that Alice and Jasper's baby Maria wouldn't be coming with us. She was just over a year old and they didn't want to take her to such a crowded place, and I couldn't blame them. I barely agreed to let Reneesme go. So Maria was going to stay with Carlisle and Esme while we went. The only reason Alice and Jasper agreed to go, and leave Maria, is because we need witnesses and they are both of our best friends. It was actually quite hard for them to say no.
"What is taking so long?" Edward suddenly asked and I jumped. And I say suddenly because he was supposed to be waiting for us outside in the car with Alice and Jasper.
"Geez Edward. Kill me now why don't you." I grabbed at my chest somehow thinking this will make my heart calm down.
"Sorry." Edward chuckled. "But seriously, what's going on?"
I blew a piece of hair that was falling into my face before speaking. "She can't find her favorite stuffed animal and refuses to go without it." This made Edward huff in annoyance too.
"Nessie!" He bellowed up to our lovely daughter. "If you don't get down here, now, you will be in serious trouble." And that's what made Reneesme come running down the stairs, stuffed animal in tow.
"Got it!" She smiled proudly.
"Great!" I replied enthusiastically. "Now let's go." Edward grabbed her hand and started walking away while I made sure I had everything. Deciding that I did in fact have everything, I walked out the door and locked it. By the time I reached the car, Edward had already started it and everyone was buckled in ready to go.
"All set?" Edward turned towards me and asked. I just nodded my head yes in response, to which Edward smiled.
We made it to the airport, just in time, thanks, mainly to Edward's lead foot, but that is neither here nor there.
And now we're in Sin City, but it's not so sin-y right now since it's day time.
The hotel we were staying at this time was Circus Circus, since we had Reneesme this time and it was the most kid friendly in our opinion. Since we flew here and didn't drive, we had to take a cab from the airport to the hotel and that was going to be the only disadvantage to our stay here.
When we got to the hotel, Edward left the four of us by the elevators while he went to get the room keys, which didn't take him very long to do.
"Ok, Alice and Jasper, here are your keys." He said handing them to Jasper. "You'll be right across the hall from Bella and I. So let's go up, get settled and then decide on what to do."
We made our way to sixth floor where we were staying, and then to our rooms. Alice and Jasper went to the right and we went to the left.
"We'll go over to your room in 10 minutes." Alice said. I nodded my head in understanding before she closed it.
After Edward opened the door, he let Reneesme and I go in first and then followed us. It was a nice room with two beds and once Reneesme saw this, she squealed.
"I get my own bed?" She questioned.
"Of course you do. You're far too big to be sleeping in the same bed as us." Edward replied, jokingly, with Reneesme. She didn't really say anything in response, she just got on one bed and started jumping on it.
"Reneesme, stop jumping on the bed." I told her as I laid down on the other bed and closed my eyes. I was super tired from last night, since Edward let me get less sleep than what I actually needed to function.
I felt the bed dip down next to me and then Edward was sitting next to me. I opened my eyes to look at him.
"Tired love?" He asked with an evil glint in his eye.
"You are mean." I replied with narrowed eyes, which made Edward laugh. I wanted to call him a few choice words, but resisted since Reneesme was in the room and there was a knocking on the door, which Edward got up to answer.
In the next moment, Alice flew into the room and jumped on the bed I was on. She then proceeded to jump on it.
"Is it in Cullen blood to jump on the bed?" I asked looking up at her.
"Yup." Alice quipped but stopped jumping and sat down next to me. "So what are we going to do?"
"Well," Edward started but was interrupted by Reneesme.
"I'm hungry daddy." And then she gave him the pout.
"Guess that answers that question" Alice said with a smile.
"Does not." Edward replied. Alice didn't say anything, just raised an eyebrow as a way of telling him to prove her wrong. Not even 10 seconds later, Edward blew out a breathe and dropped his shoulders in defeat.
Alice broke out into a huge grin. "Ha! I didn't even have to say anything!"
Edward narrowed his eyes but didn't say anything.
"It's alright Edward. Reneesme and Bella have you wrapped around their fingers, just like Alice has me wrapped." Jasper said clasping Edward's shoulder.
Edward ignored Jasper and turned towards Reneesme, "Want some McDonalds?"
"Yes!" Reneesme threw herself at Edward. "Let's go!"
Edward laughed and said "You heard the girl. Let's go."
Edward opened the door and walked out with Jasper following closely behind. Alice and I took a little bit longer, since I had to get my purse and room key. Apparently Edward forgets everything when he's thinking about our daughter.
"Do you think they even notice we're this far behind?" Alice asked.
"Probably not." I chuckled. We followed quietly behind to the elevators, where they noticed that we were beside them.
"Where were you guys?" Jasper asked.
"Wow. You noticed." Mockingly glared at Jasper.
Jasper pulled Alice towards him and kissed her forehead, "Sorry darlin'. But next to you, Nessie, is the other girl in my life."
"I can live with that." Alice kissed Jasper. Edward and I just looked at each other and rolled our eyes. It was at that moment that the elevator doors opened and we all stepped in. Edward put Nessie on the ground between him and I and she grabbed each of our hands. We rode the elevator down and when the doors opened up we quickly made our way out since there was a group of people waiting.
"Edward," I looked over at him. "Do you think we should let Nessie walk?" Yes. I was that paranoid parent. Since the moment we got here, I've seen kids walking with their parents but I was still freaking out. I've seen one too many CSI episodes.
"Calm down baby." Edward said sensing my panic. "She'll be fine. She's seven years old, not three." Rationally, I knew he was right, but that did nothing to settle my nerves, but I didn't fight it. At some point, I needed to loosen the reins a bit. The present was probably the best place to start.
"Reneesme," I called looking down to her.
"Yes?" I replied looking up at me.
"Don't let go of mine of or daddy's hand. Understood?" Her response was a head nod of yes and gripping our hands a bit tighter.
The five of us then walked out the front doors of the hotel and started towards the McDonald's that was about 10 minutes away, but close to the hotel itself. The sidewalks were crowded with people and both Nessie and I found ourselves pushing closer to Edward. Jasper and Alice were behind us by a little bit but nothing drastic.
When we finally reached the restaurant, I basically threw myself and Nessie inside to escape the crowd from outside. Though it was pretty packed itself. Alice and I decided to get a place to sit while Edward, Nessie and Jasper ordered the food.
"So, Bella." Alice started "I was thinking that we could go shopping later."
I thought about it for a moment, and actually thought it would be a good idea. Who knows what I could find here. "Alright."
As soon as I agreed Alice went silent. This is one of the few times that I actually agreed, not against my will, to go with her. Any time I give consent, she does this. It took her a few seconds before she snapped out of it and squealed. Yes squealed. Who knew that a women in her mid-20's could squeal, but that's Alice for you.
Reneesme, Edward and Jasper joined us by that time. Edward and Jasper saw how happy Alice was but didn't say anything. And Reneesme was took focused on her happy meal to notice.
We finished our lunch and walked back to the hotel, but as soon as we made it inside Alice grabbed my arm to stop me. This made Edward, who was holding a tired Reneesme, and Jasper.
"Where do you think you're going?" She questioned me.
"Apparently not to my room." I sighed. "Alice, are you going to go shopping now?" Her response was a nod of her head.
"Have fun shopping baby." Edward chuckled and I narrowed my eyes at him. "The three of us, are just gonna go swimming." At this announcement, Reneesme's head shot up with a grin plastered on her face. Jasper gave Alice a quick kiss before him and Edward walked towards the elevators.
"Come on Bella." And that's what started my shopping trip with Alice.
A few hours later, not really sure how long because I stopped focusing on it when I really started to enjoy what Alice wanted to buy. She had planned on where to go before hand, so we walked from our hotel to Planet Hollywood where we did all our shopping. Alice bought, not only things for her, but for me. For me, she bought a couple outfits, a bathing suit, and some lingerie, that was for the wedding night. Actually, all of the things she bought me, she wanted me to wear here. She told me that everything she bought was what she would've bought if I had a wedding shower and engagement party.
We finally made our way back to the hotel but instead of actually going to the hotel, we went to where the shops were.
"I thought we were done shopping?" I questioned. Now I was confused because she told me where were done.
"We are done shopping. But we're not quite done with everything yet. I booked you an appointment at the salon." She said nonchalantly. "And before you start saying anything, I'm doing this because you're getting married tomorrow. Just because you and my brother decided to get married in Vegas doesn't mean you shouldn't look beautiful on your wedding day." She had a point, so I didn't argue with her.
When we got to the salon, I learned she had made this appointment days ago. She made the appointment for a manicure, express pedicure, full leg waxing and mini express facial. It was actually really relaxing and I was thankful for what she did.
By the time we got to my room, I was exhausted. Opening the door, Alice and I stumbled upon a sleeping Edward and Jasper. Reneesme was sitting on the bed with Edward watching tv.
"Hi mommy!"
"Hey baby. I can see you tired our your daddy and uncle."
"Yup." She stated proudly. Alice went to sleeping Jasper to wake him up. And she accomplished this by jumping on the bed.
"Hey darlin'. How was your day" He sleepily asked.
"Good. Not as tiring as yours though it seems." Alice giggled. Jaspers response was a mumble. "Alright big guy. Let's get out of here and go to our room." Somehow Jasper was able to get up and walk across the hall still half asleep.
"See you two in the morning." Alice said and followed Jasper out the door. She silently closed it, as not to wake Edward.
That night, we all stayed in our rooms and rested. Edward woke up eventually and the three of us just watched tv and ordered room service.
The next morning, Edward and I woke up at eight but let Reneesme sleep some more. Alice came over a few minutes after eight to watch Reneesme for us while we went to get our marriage license.
***********************************1 hour later*********************************
Getting the license didn't take much time at all, most of the time was getting to there and back. When we got back to the hotel, Edward went to Jasper's room and I went to ours, that way we could both get ready sticking to tradition in some sense.
Alice already had Reneesme up and dressed when I entered the room. Reneesme was sitting on the bed with the biggest smile on her face watching Alice put on her make-up. I couldn't help but laugh. Reneesme heard and turned towards me.
"Don't I look pretty?" She asked jumping to the ground and twirling.
"You look beautiful." I smiled.
"Ok, ok. Let's get you beautified Bella. You're wedding is in two hours." And Alice sat me down and the bed and started her work.
Just over an hour later, Alice was done and I couldn't be happier. My make-up and hair was simple. The same went for the dress. It was a plain, white, t-length dress. And the shoes I wore were flats. I really thought about heels but decided against it, only because we're in Vegas and that just seems like it would be a bad idea for me.
After grabbing our jackets, we met up with Edward and Jasper in the hallway with 40 minutes until the ceremony.
Edward looked gorgeous in his tux. Have I mentioned how much I like him in one? Well now I have.
Edward and I were looking each other over when we heard a throat being cleared. I felt my face heating up but turned towards the noise to see Jasper smirk.
"Come on. Let's go get you two married." Jasper said. "Reneesme would you like to hold my hand?"
"Yes please." And then she blushed. That was an unfortunate trait I passed on.
"Well, looks like Jasper has a new date for the wedding. Guess that means I can get my own." Alice replied.
Jasper turned towards her and replied, "Be my guest. Reneesme love me enough not to leave me." And then he winked.
"It was good well it lasted." Alice shrugged. By that time made it to the elevators and happened to catch one right as it opened up.
"You ready to do this?" Edward whispered in my ear.
"Have been for awhile." I smiled.
"You ready?" Alice asked while fixing my hair.
"More than you'll ever know." We waited a few minutes before we were told we could begin. Reneesme walked out first, then followed by Alice. Finally it was my turn to walk. As I started walking, I looked down the aisle towards Edward and my smile widened even more.
He was, and always had be, my one. It took us awhile to find each other again, but that's life. As I finished my walk and looked up into green eyes, I couldn't wait for our forever to start.
Alright folks, that's the end! I will be doing some outtakes and what not. Not sure when, but I will when I have time. Review one last time please 3
