Chapter 4
“I can’t believe my little girl is getting married today, are آپ scared یا nervous?” My voice breaking as I کہا that. I hoped she couldn’t tell how nervous I was.
“Momma, don’t worry about me, I love Jake and he loves me. I’ve waited a long time for this mom. Please don’t worry about me so much.” Nessie کہا full of confidence.
I was having flash backs when me and my mother would have these pep talks. I was always the one telling her she had nothing to worry about and just go for anything آپ want. I couldn’t believe I was having the same kind of talk with my own daughter.
We were all up in Alice’s huge bathroom with all the unnecessary beauty supplies. Nessie has kept her dress a complete secret from everyone except Alice. When her hair and make-up was to Alice’s liking and very high standards, they disappeared into the closet. When they both emerged I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw her. She looked like an angel; she wore a beautiful umpire waist white satin dress with a scarlet red فیتا, فیتے trim just under the bust. It hung slightly off her shoulders; she had on matching scarlet red strappy stilettos. No doubt the shoes where all Alice’s idea; she was absolutely breathtaking.
“Oh my beautiful girl آپ look wonderful.” I managed to say.
“Thank آپ momma, do آپ think Jacob will like it?” she looked worried as she asked.
“If he doesn’t, there is no reason he should marry آپ today.” Edward کہا coming through the door. “It’s almost time, Alice, Esme, Rose آپ should get yourselves ready.” He کہا giving Alice a slight nod. I know what he was doing; he wanted the three of us to be alone for the last time.
“We have something for آپ Ness, something old, blue, and barrowed. These are the same combs that I wore at my wedding.” I told her.
“And this is something new, some of it won’t be ready till آپ and Jacob are back from your honeymoon.” Edward کہا smiling handing her a small black box. She took it from his hands and looked at both of us; she waited a long time before she opened the box. When she did she held up a silver key ring that had three shiny silver keys on it.
“What are these for dad?” she کہا with hesitation.
“Well, the first is for the 09 مستونگ, mustang for Jacob, the سیکنڈ is for آپ and it’s for your new 2010 لنکن MKZ. Those are from me the third is from your mother. She was worried where آپ were going to be living after آپ came back from your honeymoon. So that key will be for the cottage your mother and the rest of the family has built for آپ both.” He said.
“Say something Nessie, what do آپ think?” I کہا not sure if she was happy یا if she was mad at us. She just stood there not saying anything. “Edward is she alright? What’s she thinking?” I was starting to get worried.
“She’s not thinking anything, her mind is blank.” He کہا with frustration starting to come across in his voice.
“Nessie, Renesmee are آپ alright?” I was right in front of her; I put my hands on her shoulders and shook her.
“Mom, I’m okay آپ two just caught me off guard is all. I’m not sure I, we can accept this; it’s too much.” She was shaking and tears where coming down her cheeks.
“Wait until after the wedding, talk it over with Jacob. See what he thinks, if آپ both decide it’s too much then we can make some kind of a compromise.” Edward کہا with a smile.
“Ness, I’m not sorry but I won’t compromise on the house. آپ two need a place to live and it’s close enough to our cottage and close enough to LaPush; right in the middle.” I کہا determined not to let her talk me out of her house.
“You two are the best parents anyone could ask for. I love آپ both so much, thank آپ for this.” She کہا between sobs.
“Now don’t آپ go ruining your make-up, Alice will be very upset with both of us if that happens.” I told her.
Slowly موسیقی started playing and we all looked at each other and knew it was time. We walked with Nessie down the stairs of the Cullen house; it was beautifully decorated with red and white roses everywhere. The house was packed with دوستوں and family. Our cousins were there Tayna, Kate, Elezar and, Carmen. With them was Garrett, he’d stayed with them after the incident years پہلے with the Voltori. Sue came with Charlie; they had gotten married about ten years ago. Seth was so happy to call me and Edward his family now. Of course Jacobs pack was there, along with Sam’s pack. Some of the Irish coven also came, Siobhan, Liam and Maggie where there. Benjamin came with Tia, and Nessie’s پسندیدہ Zafrina, Senna and Kachiri came too. To everyone’s surprise Huilen and her nephew Nahuel came. Everyone was standing looking at Nessie, smiles on everyone’s faces. As we walked her down the aisle we saw Jacob’s face and I’m sure I saw a few tears fall from his eyes. Edward handed Nessie off to Jacob and we took our seats. Alice and Rose were waiting at the front with the minister; Nessie wouldn’t want anyone else to be her bridesmaids. اگلے to Jacob of course was Embry and to everyone’s surprise Seth. The ceremony was simple and beautiful. Cheers erupted when the minister کہا آپ may kiss the bride.
The reception was beautiful, large white tents in the back of the Cullen house. Flowers and candles were everywhere, large round tables with red میز, جدول cloths on them. In the center of the tables where مزید red and white roses with candles around the vases. Alice and Esme really out did themselves.
It was dark now and the موسیقی had changed into a familiar song. I felt hands around my waist, and lips at my neck. “Mrs. Cullen, would آپ care to dance?” I could never say no to Edward. As my lullaby played we took to the dance floor, I had overcome my fears of dancing now that I was a vampire. We whirled across the dance floor looking into each other’s eyes taking in this special moment and we both knew that everyone we loved was here and safe.
Half way through the lullaby I was Edwards’s expression on his face change. He was overcome with laughter; we had to stop dancing he was laughing so hard.
“What is so funny?” I asked wanting to know the joke.
“It’s nothing really, just Nessie told Jake about our presents to them.” He کہا between laughs.
We found the two of them sitting at a میز, جدول together, Nessie with her feet on Jacob and shoveling food into his mouth. “You wanted to speak with us Jacob.” Edward was having a hard time keeping a straight face.
“We have talked about the gifts آپ gave us, and we both agree it’s too much.” Nessie said. “But, we do need someplace to live and transportation is useful when آپ can’t run everywhere. So, we are graciously excepting your gifts. And thank you.” Jacob کہا with a smile from ear to ear. He got up from the میز, جدول and hugged us both. “Can I call آپ mom and dad now?” He کہا laughing.
“Jake, that’s too weird, just stick to Edward and Bella.” I told him.
