Waited So Long (The Wedding of Jacob and Renesmee)

[dev]

(A bit of backshadowing from the After All This Time thread. Hope you don't mind.)

Devonny didn't know if she should be here, so soon after the blow to Bella. But she couldn't stay away. She'd been enchanted by Renesmee as much as anyone else, and she refused to miss this event. She stepped out of her car after pulling up the drive way. Devonny looked up at the Cullen mansion again, looming over her. And then she set off to find her Goddaughter.

She found her with her own daughter, all fretting over Renesmee's beauty. She knocked gently on the wall, announcing her appearance. She was smiling, though feeling a bit out of place as she looked at the many girls milling about the room.

[Esme Cullen]

Esme stopped decorating for a moment before heading up to Rosalie's room she was going to check and see how everyone was doing . She had smelt a shape shifter in the house and knew it could not be Jacob yet but the shape shifter kind of smelled like him. Esme walked down the hall way to see a lot of people well woman and Maden in the room. "Hello, How is everything going? " Esme asked as she enter the room. and looking around her eyes fell on Renesmee and Esme smiled. She was looking really beautiful. "Oh Nessie you look so wonderful Jacob is going to be stunned when he see you. See you all dressed up in your wedding dress. You remind me of you mother on her wedding day. You look amazing honey"

[Renesmee Cullen-Black]

Renesmee was blushing at all the attention. She hadn't received this much at once since she was born. But, she was just happy that everyone in her family was excited about her wedding. Everything was almost perfect, except for one thing. More than anything, Renesmee wished that her Aunt Alice could be there to celebrate with her. Her wedding meant more than anything to Renesmee and she wanted her entire family there. But, she understood that Alice was not going to be there because she had gone away for a long while and no one knew when she was coming home. Looking at Maden, she knew that he was the cutest thing ever. Rosalie had done a great job in picking out a tux for the little guy. "You look very dashing yourself Maden," she giggled at her little cousin.

When Esme came into the room, Renesmee knew that the time was drawing close for the ceremony. Her nerves were beginning to settle in as she knew that soon she would be walking down the aisle and see Jacob waiting for her. Hearing Esme compare her to her mother made Renesmee smile because she was so much like her mother in so many ways. Not only were her eyes the same chocolate brown her mother's used to be, but she had the same soft, human features of Bella's face. They were definitely mother and daughter; no one could deny that. "I just need to breathe now since everything is about to start happening," she sighed. Her heart rate kept going up and down with every minute that passed between now and when she would walk down the aisle. In her mind, she went over her vows that she had written for Jacob over the past couple of weeks. All that she loved about him came out into word form and even then, it still would never be enough to describe how dearly she loved him.

[Bella Cullen]

Bella watched as everyone fretted over her daughter's beauty and smiled. Every bit of the attention Renesmee deserved because this was her day. Everything about this day was to celebrate the coming together of two lives; Jacob and Renesmee's lives that had been intertwined since her birth. If she had to lose her daughter to someone, she was glad that it was Jacob and not someone else that she barely knew. Jacob was someone she knew and had shared a large chunk of her life with before her daughter came along. Bella was taking in this day because they would never have another first wedding for Renesmee again. She still remembered her own wedding to Edward; how perfect it had been for them.

When Maden came in the room, Bella grinned at her little nephew and how precious he looked in his tuxedo. He was absolutely precious. There wasn't a doubt in her mind that he was Emmett and Rosalie's son, even if he was only biologically Emmett's. He still looked a lot like Rosalie with his cherub face and precious blonde curls. Bella heard a knock at the door sometime later and turned to see Devonny standing in the doorway. Quietly, she went over to her godmother as Esme entered the room to gush over Renesmee. "My daughter doesn't know anything about you yet," she whispered gently. "Nessie is very sensitive about new people coming into the family, especially with the most recent drama that we have gone through. I didn't want anything to interfere with her wedding happiness. Please try to understand where I am coming from as a mother." Bella hated to not introduce Devonny to Renesmee, but she knew how her daughter would react because of Crystal's drama, Alice's leaving, and Maden coming into the family. She just didn't accept big changes like that when they suddenly happened.

Devonny nodded. "I understand," she started. "Renesmee doesn't have to know yet." Devonny's words were hushed and articulate, though she spoke quickly. She was wearing contact lenses, a bright blue, identical to the color of her eyes before the transformation. She was armed with more, because she knew venom would dissolve them soon. Her vision was blurred and annoying, but she was incognito, and she would remain that way for Bella's sake. "Today, I am here for you. You may refer to me as a friend. Maybe we met at the park. Take your time, Bella. It's just as hard for her as it is for you." Devonny was reminded of her own wedding, and the stress it took to make sure everything was perfect. Devonny never had a daughter, so she could only imagine Bella's nerves, but she could sympathize with Renesmee and the fact that Bella had married as well.

[Bella Cullen]

Bella nodded. "Thank you," she murmured softly. "Today is about as hard for me as it was for my own mother when I married Edward. Renesmee is my baby and always has been since the very beginning, even before she was born." And that was the simple truth. She had fought for her daughter from the very beginning of things when everyone else wanted to abort her. Bella wanted her beautiful child more than anything else in the world because it was a baby that she and Edward had created together out of the intense love they shared for one another. "When Renesmee and Jacob return from their honeymoon, perhaps we can talk about introducing you to her then. For now, I think other guests are arriving downstairs, so you can find a seat. The ceremony is going to be starting shortly."

Bella was glad that Devonny understood that her daughter was the most important thing right now. Renesmee was the world to Bella and this day was just too important to bring anything else into. Politely, she excused herself and went back to tending her daughter, bringing over her bouquet of white roses that had baby's breath interlaced and two silk ribbons tied around it, one silver and the other a deep crimson, Renesmee's two colors. "Here baby," she said, handing her the bouquet before putting on the final touches, including a necklace that she and Edward had bought for the occasion as Renesmee's "something new". It was a crystal heart of her own, mirroring Bella's charm bracelet. Renesmee looked at her questioningly and she replied warmly to her daughter's unasked question, "That way you will always have a piece of your dad and I with you wherever you go."

[dev]

Devonny smiled at Bella. Before dismissing herself to go downstairs, she glanced up at Renesmee. She looked so much like her mother, and so much like her father. Devonny blinked once, out of habit, and felt the contacts dissolve in her eyes. She averted her eyes, a look to Bella, saying 'good luck,' and hurried to the bathroom. She placed a replacement pair of contacts in her eyes, and went downstairs. She found a seat in the middle, where she was easily found in case she was needed, but not out of place. There were people seated nearby, but Devonny paid them no mind. She sat silently, listening to the voices of those around her as they discussed brainless topics like the weather or what such-and-such a celebrity wore on Good Morning America. A stray flower was lying by Devonny's red shoe, and she picked it up, observing it. It felt out of place, and she stood for a moment, stepping over to a bouquet. She gently placed the flower in it, giving it a final resting spot before she sat down once again.

Renesmee had been looking in the mirror when Harmony walked into Rosalie's room. She was glad that Jacob's cousin was here. Having his family there meant the world to him and thus, it meant a lot to Renesmee as well. She turned and smiled at her future cousin. Harmony was the first one aside from her mother to see her in her wedding dress. "I'm so glad you're here Harmony," Renesmee gushed, walking over to her and giving her a hug. "And it's a pleasure to meet you Yvonne. Having Jacob's family be here means a lot to both of us."

Everything was coming together so quickly as people were now arriving. Soon enough she would see her father and he would be walking her down the aisle and giving her away to Jacob. That was something she had been counting down to for months. And yet, despite all her nervousness, she was sure of one thing: today she would become Jacob's wife.

Yvonne smiled. "It's so wonderful to finally meet Jake's lovely girl. I was very happy when he told me he was in love. He needs a special chicka like you."

Harmony laughed. "Okay mom, we know, we know. Um, we'll be at the house. See you later Renesmee. Good luck." She took her mother's arm and drug her out of the room. They headed up to the Cullen Mansion.

[Renesmee Cullen-Black]

Renesmee nodded at Harmony as she left the room and turned her attention to her mother as she came back over. Seeing the necklace that her mother draped around her neck made Renesmee almost cry. Since she was a little girl, she had always admired the crystal heart on her mother's charm bracelet, given to her by Edward long before Renesmee was ever born. "Mom, I don't know what to say..." she looked into her mother's eyes with tears brimming in her own. "It's absolutely beautiful. Thank you."

Renesmee tried to breathe slowly to calm herself down. The time was drawing near for her to walk down the aisle. Her stomach had little butterflies swirling around, making her nervous and excited all at the same time. This was the single most anticipated event in her life; the one thing she had been looking forward to in her life. Absentmindedly she played with her curls, lacing them through her fingers while thinking about Jacob. She wondered what he was going to do when he saw her dress for the first time. That was going to be an unforgettable moment in her mind, seeing his face light up as he waited for her at the end of the aisle. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't wait until that moment.

For now, she was just waiting for everyone to arrive and for her father to come see her. She knew that this day was also going to be difficult for her parents because she was their only child; their precious daughter. For as long as she lived, she would always be their baby no matter if she were married to Jacob or not. They had loved her first and always. And today would be the beginning of a new chapter in all of their lives.

[Maden DeRuby-Cullen]

Maden didn’t know the women that entered after he did. Whoever she was, he was little scared by her. He didn’t know why but he was scared of her. As Bella went to talk to her, Esme came into the room, looking lovely as always. He loved that Esme was wearing; it was perfect for her and totally her. No matter what anyone in the Cullen family wears, they always look good. More like runaway model. Whatever they wear, they can always pull it off. Maden looked at Nessie when she complimented him. It was the first time he wore a tux and he feels good in it. “Thank you Nessie.” He said slyly. He sat down on the bed when Bella came back and draped her with a crystal heart necklace. It was beautiful, just like Nessie.

Carlisle walked around, looking for his lovely wife Esme. He smiled at he knew this was a very big day for Nessie and Jacob. He couldn't be more proud of Nessie and was happy in the new life she was going to start with the man she loved in Jacob. He fixed his suit some, making sure he looked presentable.

Carlisle then stood and looked at the whole set up. He couldn't help but smile, as this day just made him realize that much more in how much he loved his wife and what Nessie and Jacob have to look foward to. He could remember in his mind the vows he exchanged with Esme and how long there love has lasted. He could only wish and bless Nessie and Jacob that same kind of love would be everlasting between them, when they finally tied the knot.

[Edward Cullen]

Edward laughted as Jake answered the door. Edward knew that Jake's thoughts were scattered today. When Jake asked what Edward wanted, he laughed. "I came to see if you needed any help, Jake. I know that you are nervous." Edward said to Jake. Edward remembered his wedding day all to well. Jake had made an appearance for Bella and it had not gone that well.

Though Edward had long ago gotten used to the idea of Jake as his son-in-law, he still looked at him as a brother. "Jake, I know that we have been through a lot in the years that we have known each other. I know that in the beginning neither of us thought that things would end well for us, but I am glad that they did. I have thought of you as a brother since we stood together against the Volturi. I am glad that you are marrying Nessie today. I know that you will make her happy." Edward said as he enter the house.

[Jacob Black]

Jacob looked at Edward after he gave his little speech. "Dude I She makes me hay anytime I look at her she is the best thing the only thing I need in the whole entire world." Jacob started and grabbed a glass of water and drank it down.

"II don't think I need anything I just got to get to the mansion in one piece which should not be difficult or I hope not that is why I put the Tux in the Car I am going to out it on when I get to the house, No need to have it passable rip it to shreds . I am glad that brother of yours has that mood power thing without it I might nor be able to control myself later. I have never been in so much fear of an accidental phase." .

Jacob looked at Edward and headed for the door " I think we should leave now so I am not late for my own wedding."

[Edward Cullen]

Edward smiled at Jake and his nervousness. "You will be fine, Jake. We will all be there to help you." Edward said to him as they got ready to leave for the mansion. Edward knew that things had finally come full circle. Edward knew that this was the way that things were supposed to be. Bella had always said that Jake was supposed to be in her life. They were family now and forever. "Are you ready to go? We should be at the mansion before the guest start to arrive." Edward said as he walked to his car.

[Rosalie Hale]

Rose followed Raine into Bella's room and laughed silently at Raine's comment about dressing up. "Well Raine, dear, you should get used to dressing up. You are with Arkan and he is a member of this family, which means that you are a member of this family. We all dress with style." Rose said as she started on Raine's hair. Rose remembered when Bella first joined the family and the jeans and t-shirts that she used to wear.

"Even Bella has changed her style over the years. Though she still prefers the jeans and t-shirts for the most part. Bella can dress up and look beautiful when she wants to." Rose said as she moved on the Raine's makeup. When Rose was finished with Raine's, she turned Raine to look at herself in the mirror of the first time. "Arkan is going to love the way you look. You are beautiful." Rose said to her.

Once Rose was finished with Raine, she went to the mansion with the rest of the bridal party. "Bells, Raine is gone. Who do you want me to work on now?" Rose said to her sister. "Nessie, love, you are gorgeous." Rose said smiling at her niece. Rose then walked over to her son and picked him up for a few minutes. "I have missed you, my darling son. Are you happy for you cousin today?" Rose whispered in Maden's ear as she hugged him.
