*(Two Months Later ~ September)*

"Hey sweetheart, is everything okay?"

Paul came into the toilets...Thankfully there were no other ladies in there and I was also thankful for the fact that my gorgeous bridesmaid's dress wasn't destroyed considering the amount of times I had run around, today.

"Yes honey, I'm fine" I replied wiping my hands with tissue and throwing it in the bin.

"Alice is waiting for you outside...The service is about to start"

"Okay" I ran out of the toilets and saw Alice as she rocked Iris in her arms.

"Bell as much as I adore my daughter, could you take her before she throws up on my dress?" Alice asked, I smiled and nodded before taking my stunning niece in my arms.

"Who looks so pretty the little flower girl" I cooed at Iris who giggled in my arms....She was dressed in a flowery dress with dolly shoes – seeing as she was too young to actually lay the flowers down on the aisle she was still given the title of the 'flower girl' because her mother didn't want her to lose out of the scene. I think it was more about the fact that Alice did not want Sylvia to give Iris too much attention as she was too much of a beauty to not have anyone give her attention.

"Are you ready?" I said to Alice straightening out her dress with one hand whilst balancing 'Irie' on the other.

"Yes...I have been ready for this for ages" Alice breathed in reply as she held her bouquet securely in her hands...I did have a bouquet but seeing as my hands now were occupied with much more important things than bunches of flowers...The church organ started to play and wounding my other arm around Irie's chest I was ready to walk forward.

Fair enough people will never see my dress until i was able to put my niece down but, Irie made anyone look better when they were holding her – she was an absolute dream from the day she was born and up until the day she dies...Iris Hale is a magical child, I hope that my own child one day will be half as beautiful and half as well behaved.

*~~Jasper~~*

Seeing my sister walk down the aisle with my beautiful girl in her arms suddenly made this day so worthwhile and almost unrealistic...I had been wanting to marry Alice for months and months since we had been together and now, we had already had a baby together – she had never been just a random girl that I picked up from the woods and looked after...The two of us had always some kind of connection outside the bounds of friendship...I have loved her from the very beginning she came into my house in that skimpy outfit and mud all over her skin – even then she was stunning and nothing had ever changed.

Bella shot me a smile and Paul next to me patted my shoulder as he and Bella shared a little glance before my sister bent down to mum on the front row and handed her Irie before standing still on the opposite side of me. Irie was smiling happily in mum's arms.

Butterflies soared and fluttered in my stomach when the wedding march began to play...Alice was standing at the back of the church, the darkness surrounding her before in perfect synchronisation her and my father stepped out into the light and down the aisle.

Alice was the image of perfection...It was hard to imagine ever living my life not in love with her, the gems on her teal dress sparkling as the spectrum of sunshine from the church windows hit them...The pearls in her hair also shining brightly...She was my love, always had been and now – I was going to have my dream of marrying her...The pendant on her neck of the sparrow I had given her on her first week in Oakton still hung around her neck, she rarely took it off and it gave me pleasure to see her still wear it even though we are not the same people we were when we met because we have had a baby and made the transition into the adult stage of life.

Always so stunning my sparrow....Always so beautiful to me.

*~~Bella~~*

I shot Alice a wink as she reached the end of the aisle in front of the vicar...My dad gave her a kiss on the cheek before stepping away from her and sitting next to my mum, grasping her hand in his.

I took Alice's bouquet and the church organ stopped playing the small congregation sitting down on their seats and tuning into silence.

"We are gathered here today to witness the coming together of two people, Jasper William Hale and Mary Alice Meyers, whose hearts and spirits are entwined as one. They now desire to profess before all the world their intention henceforth to walk the road of life together...

To these two young people, this marriage signifies the birth of a new spirit, a spirit which is a part of each of us, yet not of any one of us alone. It is appropriate, therefore, that this wedding of Jasper and Alice be under the open sky, where we are close to the earth and to the unity of life, the totality of living things of which we are part....Can I have the rings, please?"

I watched Paul dig into his pocket and give the vicar both rings...The vicar cleared his throat before holding out one of the rings to Jasper, Jazz took the ring and held out Alice's left hand but stopped before putting the ring on her finger.

"Alice Meyers...You are my life, every answer to my question, every shine on the darkness, every sparrow that flies among the skies above...I will love you forever and give everything to you...The beauty that gave the barman a chance in life, for eternity you will be my one true and only love living and in spirit. You have given me my soul back, you have given me happiness but also you have given us a beautiful child to bring up and love to carry on the next generation...Your soul lives in her and you're soul will always be mine" I choked back a tear as the minister then opened his mouth to speak.

"Do you Jasper Hale, knowing this woman's love for you and returning it, realizing her strengths and learning form them, recognizing her weaknesses and helping her to overcome them, take Alice Meyers to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do" Jazz answered confidently placing the ring on Alice's finger...I was frantically trying to blink away my tears as well as keeping my eye makeup in the right places on my eyes and not running down my cheeks. It was now Alice's turn as the vicar gave her Jasper's ring and she held it up to Jazz's hand holding it in her free hand.

"Jasper Hale...There are no words to ever describe how much I feel for you...I have come a long way in life and it is not the kind of life I would ever choose for someone else...But I found you, the most amazing, wonderful man I have ever had the privilege to know...I love you with everything that I am...I want to be with you as your wife and your best friend for the rest of my life and for you and I to bring up our beautiful child to carry on the next life for us, too."

"Do you Mary Alice Meyers, knowing this man's love for you and returning it, realizing his strengths and learning from them, recognizing his weaknesses and helping him to overcome them, take Jasper Hale to be your lawfully wedded husband?

"I do" Alice answered placing a kiss on Jasper's ring before placing it securely on his finger.

"For in-as-much as Jasper and Alice have consented together in wedlock, and have witnessed the same before this company, and thereto have engaged and pledged themselves to each other, and have declared the same by giving and receiving a ring and joining hands, I pronounce that they are husband and wife.

May you always be in love....You may kiss the bride"

Jasper and Alice smiled at each other before connecting their lips and wrapping their arms around each other, the small amount of witnesses stood up and clapped, Leah was among them as well as Billy Black – Jacob's father who Alice had got speaking to only recently to explain what happened between them both on the abduction and in return he had become a good acquaintance of the happy newlyweds. Jazz and Ali broke apart and wrapped their hands around each others before walking back down the aisle, Alice stopped and kissed my mum on the cheek before picking up their little cherub and the family of three continuing to walk down the aisle.

I couldn't move from my spot...I had been dreading this moment all day, I was determined to keep my mind away from it but now that the wedding was over it had to be done.

I didn't know whether to be excited or worried for another disappointment.

*~~Alice~~*

*(The reception party~ an hour later)*

I kept my Irie in my lap as Jasper and I sat down at the head table in the dining area...I took my hand in his under the table – this was without a doubt the happiest day of my life, that joining with the birth of our daughter...It was worth all the pain just to see her looking up at me with eyes so like mine...Eyes so deep and bright and youthful radiating innocence.

"Alice?"

I turned to find Paul leaning down next to me. "Hi Paul...Are you okay?"

"Bella is in the ladies toilets...She has been there for at least half an hour and she won't come out...She needs you"

"Me?"

"Yes I am sorry...I know the speeches are about to begin-"

"Oh forget the speeches...Bella is more important than a few words on a piece of paper" I ignored my panic and leant over to my Jasper. "I'll be back in a minute, let everyone eat first and then we will do the speeches" he nodded in understanding...I turned back to Paul. "Will you take her?" I asked him lifting up Iris...He smiled and took Iris who snuggled against his chest as he helped me with one of his hands to get me up off of the chair without having to tread or destroy my dress....Paul sat back down on the empty seat next to mine as I walked out of the room...Thankful that I could walk out of the room without worrying about falling over – I switched my heels to flats the moment the reception started.

I walked into the ladies toilets finding only one cubicle closed...I walked over on tiptoe and knocked softly on the door.

"There's someone in here" Bella answered.

"Bell...It's Alice, is everything okay?" I asked her.

The lock clicked open and Bella stepped out walking over to the sink and leaning her hands against it as she faced me. "I have taken another pregnancy test"

"Another one?" Bella and Paul had been so desperate to get pregnant that it had been many tests in the making, however all of them had come up negative...Unlike me who had forgotten all about contraceptives – Bella had planned to get herself pregnant and she loved my own daughter so much there were times where I wish she could have her baby who deserved all of her love and affection but also having Bell know that the baby was hers.

"Yes...My last period was two weeks ago...I never said anything because I wanted you to get married and putting it off was the best thing-"

"Bell...I appreciate that, I really do but you could have told me sooner"

"It would have ruined the wedding"

"Oh stop, no it wouldn't...Ruining the wedding would be like Jasper and I not turning up!"

"I realise the speeches are starting in a minute-"

"Stop....Let's just get through this together and then we will worry about possible drunkards later!"

I giggled "thank you for making me smile" I said appreciatively clutching the stick for dear life in my palm.

"You always make me smile" Alice said stroking my cheek..."How long do we have?"

"Two minutes"

"Right" Alice said standing next to me also leaning her hands on the basin.

"Do you remember when I was in your bathroom watching you take your test?"

"Oh god don't remind me, Bell...I love my daughter with all my heart and soul but having lack of sleep really changes your view of things"

"Well, you were scared...Look at you now!"

"Having a child changes everything...Now, if you asked me whether I would go back and change everything...I wouldn't!"

"Really?"

"Not for all the money in the world or all the stars in the sky...I have an amazing husband and a gorgeous baby...What more could I need?"

"I already have an amazing husband...I want to have a baby...I want my baby to be so much like yours, Ali!"

"Bell...Babies are never the same, that baby is going to be half of you and half of Paul...Two halves of great people...Of course your baby is going to be stunning!"

"Thanks for everything, Ali"

"There's no need to thank me, you have done far more for me than I have for you!"

"Ali....If this comes back positive...Will you be Godmother?"

"Bell-"

"Please...You have been my sister since the first day I met you...There has never been anyone else that I want my child to look up to than you?"

"Well then, yes....But Bell if it is negative then....There are always other tests in the future....It's harder for some people to conceive naturally than others"

"I know...I just really want a baby"

"I know you do" I put my arm around Bella as she took in a deep breath.

"Okay...Here it goes"

Bella took out the tissue from her hand and unfolded it to reveal the pregnancy test stick which is not now so new to me as it once had been...I analysed her face as she looked down at the little screen...For a few moments, she looked expressionless before she turned to me.

"Prepare your duties...You're going to be a godmother" Bella said beaming and tears filling up her eyes...I covered my mouth with my hands before pulling her into a hug as she sobbed happily on my shoulder...I didn't care about my dress.

Bella was pregnant, happier than she had been in a long time and no feeling could top this for her and for that, I was proud of her.

"You're going to be a mum" I whispered to her as sniffed pulling away from me. "Where's Paulie?"

"He's at the head table with Iris...Do you want me to go and get him?"

"What about the speeches?"

"Stuff the speeches...I never wanted them, anyway...I know how you all feel about me and so..I do not need to have pieces of paper read out to me to realise that"

"I will read mine out to you when you come back from your honeymoon...How does that sound?"

"Sounds perfect....Congratulations, Bell"

"Thank you Alice, I love you"

"I love you too"

I sniffed away my emotion as I walked back into the dining area, the sound of clinking plates and moving cutlery was music to my ears as I got to the head table...Iris was still amusing herself with her Godfather and Jasper had turned to face me but I leant down to Paul's ear.

"Paul...Bella is in the toilets...She is alright, she needs you now" I whispered, not wanting to give anything away in the tone or my choice of words.

"Okay...What about the speeches?"

"Forget about them...Bella needs you"

"Oh Alice are you sure?"

"Yes...Now, give me my baby and go!" I said smiling...He got up off of the chair and gave me Iris before walking away from us back where I had just come from...I sat down next to Jasper letting out a sigh holding Irie's hands in my own.

"What's happening, baby?" he whispered.

"Nothing...I have decided I don't want speeches...Watching everyone get drunk and dance is much better entertainment for me"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes...I am doing this for someone who I love dearly...Trust me"

"I always trust you my love"

I gave my husband a gentle kiss before bouncing my legs underneath my daughter to make her giggle...Her laugh was always such a welcome sound to me...I could live on that sound and the sound of my husband's name for the rest of my life and never have tp listen or endure anything else.

I had finally found my place in life.

Where I truly belong...This was the start of mine, Jasper's and our daughter's new life...Adding another little piece to our forever.

*~~Bella~~*

"Bell?" I sniffed at the sound of Paulie's voice...I opened the door to the toilets and stepped out into the long empty hallway. "What is it, sweetheart?" he asked me taking my face in his hands forcing me to look up at him through my watery eyes. "Are you ill?"

"No..I am fine...I just...I have something to tell you" I choked out...Wanting to see his reaction to my news so much as he had shared the same amount of determination to get pregnant as I had and he was going to make an amazing father to our child.

"Okay, baby what is it?" he stroked one of his hands on my face...I took a deep breath in.

"What if I said to you that I could never conceive a baby naturally...That I may not be able to give you what you want...That want not sharing our DNA?"

"Bell...Honey, I have said this to you before...I love you no matter what happens...I always will and if you can't have a baby naturally then, it's okay....There's always adoption, some child out there in need of love that we can give them"

"You won't think any less of me?"

"Of course not...Why would you think such a thing?"

"I was making sure about something...But now, I can really tell you the truth" I brought the stick to Paul and held it up to his face showing him the screen. "We're pregnant, Paulie"

I heard my husband gasp before tears started to fill his eyes...The shock registering in his head and going through his system before I held the stick at my side again.

Without a word Paul wrapped my lips around his and kissed me...Passion and love radiating from his moving mouth as I responded violently wrapping my arms around his neck as he continued to caress my face with his hands.

"I love you Bella, I love you so much" he whispered before kissing me again not giving me a chance to respond..I smiled against his mouth and inched my body closer to his in the privacy of the empty hallway.

This was what we had been waiting for...My life was now complete.

I had a loving family...A loving sister...A loving husband and a baby of my very own.

This was indeed the stuff that dreams were made of.

For once, I am never letting this memory go.
