Chapter 42

Two months later
I stood near the back door, watching everyone outside with a small smile on my face.
Ness stood near Jacob talking with him, while Edward kept a sharp eye on the two.
Ness looks almost full grown now, and poor Edward is having fits, because she's crushing very hard on Jacob.
Pray for him.
"Deja Vu. I'll say." I jump a little, turning around to see Jasper, standing there.
"Stop doing that." I hit him, and he laughs.
"Let me take it." He says, reaching for the bowl of watermelon in my hand.
"No I got it." He nods.
"You okay?" I smile, nodding.
"I am."
"Well...Shall we ma'am?" He gestures towards outside. I giggle, curtsying to him.
"Thank you kind sir." I walk out side, the both of us laughing.
Alice runs to him, pulling him over to the pool, with the others.
It's not a big pool. I bought one of those inflatable ones, for Aiden for his birthday, since we didn't get to celebrate it last year.
Carlisle comes over to me, trying to take the bowl from my hands. I try telling him it's okay, but he insists.
Shaking my head, I follow after him, to the table.
"Mommy! Daddy! Watch me!!" We both look over to our son.
Our son.
Arg! I could cry.
He makes sure, we're watching first before swimming across the pool. When he's done, he looks over at us, smiling brightly.
He's so cute!
"That was amazing Aidie." Carlisle says and it makes the cutey smile more.
I look up at him, my heart warming.
"You're a great father." His eyes widen a little, before softening.
"Thank you love." I smile.
Mary's cute laugh fills my ears, and I look back at the two playing.
Sighs.
I glance to Fredrick who stood far off, keeping eye on the girl, before continuing to the table.
You see Fredrick had three choices.
1. Go with the Volturi,
2. stay with Steven, or 3. come with Carlisle and us.
In which he choose the latter.
Plus Mary is basically his responsibility now, and it didn't help that the little girl did not want to be away from him, but also wanted to stay with Aiden.
Marcus confirmed to us of the strong family bond they have. I mean it is understandable, seeing as he was the one to save her after her father's death.
Ms. D, Wilma and Esme sat around the table. Their men, standing behind them, as they all spoke.
Aro isn't here right now with Jewel. He comes and goes, sometimes he'll stay for a week sometimes two, but her guards are here 24/7.
We told them they could grab a seat but they decided to stay standing.
Their choice I guess. And Jewel told me of how strict Aro is with them when it comes to her.
"Soooooo." Wilma starts, as soon as we settle down in our seat.
After the town wide census, Jashville is back to its safe haven status. There were two others like Javier, but after being here for so many years, they ended up making a life for themselves and requested if they could continue living in Jashville, with promise not to harm anyone.
Wilma was a little skeptical, but they decided to let them continue to stay, with the watchful eye of some of their friends of course.
I'm still amazed that this town as a lot more going on than I thought.
"Are we not going to talk about a particular thing that happens after a ring is placed on one's left finger?"
Shaking my head, I lean into Carlisle's side, his arm coming over my shoulders, pulling me closer to him.
I hear Alice's loud squeal. and I look behind me, watching as she tried to leave Jasper and come over to us, but he held unto her tight.
"We should start planning the wedding. Oh!! We can have it in Eltria! Invite the entire family." She says.
I shake my head.
"Alice we're going to have to talk to my parents first before anything."
"Already did. They said it's not a problem." Alice states.
"Alice." Carlisle warns.
"I know, I'm sorry. I just knew that after everything, you've been working really hard at getting back to normal, and I thought this would be a nice thing to do." She says looking down.
"It's okay Alice. I now where you're heart is. I actually forgot about it with everything." I look back to Carlisle.
"Do you want to get married now?"
"We have all the time in the world love. No need to rush."
"But do you want to?" I ask again, and he smiles.
"I've always been ready Gwen." He says, his voice doing a thing. I move back a bit, his eyes felt like they are staring into my soul.
Clearing my throat, I turn away forward, trying to calm my all of a sudden fast beating heart.
I hear him chuckling, the others laughing as well.
"Well...umm..seems we're getting married."
Alice, Jewel and Ms. D begin scream.
"Stop my ears." Henry says shaking his head.
Alice pulls out her phone calling someone..
"Hello yes..We're throwing a wedding!!"
"It's gonna be a bumpy ride." I whisper to Carlisle and he laughs.
"We'll make it." He kisses my cheek.
I narrow my eyes at him.
"What's with you?" He smiles.
"I don't know what your talking about." He chuckles.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about." I say in the same low tone.
"He's trying to seduce you before the honeymoon. Down Carlisle Cullen down." Our eyes widen like saucers, my cheeks burning hot.
"W-what?"
"J-Jewel."
"I got your back best friend." She says making him burst out laughing.
——
We left Jashville the day after my agreement. It seems these ladies have been planning for awhile now.
I stood in the dressing room, at Vilianna. The top wedding designer in Eltria, her assistant Erie is helping me today.
"Okay Gwen come out let's see!!" I hear Jewel shout.
Giggling to myself, I walk out the room.
I mentally laugh, when I see their reactions.
"Beautiful right?"
"Seriously Gwen." Jewel deadpans.
"Black."
"I think it's beautiful." I look myself over in the mirror. It complimented me perfectly.

"I think it's beautiful too." My mom says. Marianna nods, agreeing.
"Don't encourage her you guys." Ms. D says.
"White Gwen white."
Rolling my eyes, I walk back to the change room. I had two more black dresses for them to see.
Maybe they'll allow me to wear black, if I keep coming out in it.
Erie helps me put on the next dress. The both of us laughing.
"They'll kill me."
Walking back out, they all chuckle, except for Alice, Jewel and Ms. D.

"This screams marry me guys." I say, giving a little twirl.
"It just screams." Jewel says causing them all to laugh. I chuckle a bit.
"Come on Gwen, you're always in black. Wear a white dress."
"Fine."
Changing again, I walk back out, in the third dress.
"It has white in it."

"I'll admit. It's beautiful." Alice says.
"Just not for the wedding. You can get it as your second dress." Ms. D says, and I pout.
"Trying on only black dresses is not gonna make us let you wear it Gwen." Jewel says folding her arms.
Of course Jewel will catch on.
"I thought this was my wedding."
Jewel sighs.
"If you want to wear it. You can." She says, and I smile.
"You're sweet bestie, because I have one more to show you." She sighs again, and I laugh walking back.
"Let's put on the show stopper Erie." She nods, helping her change.
—
Erie puts the veil on top of my head, so I can see how it will look completed.
I feel myself start to tear up, and I smile.
"This is definitely it." She nods as well.
I walk out the back, their jaws dropping.
Jewel starts sniffling as she watches me, looking like she was holding back herself from sobbing down the place.
"My bestie's getting married."
——
Wedding Day
Carlisle stood at the end of the aisle, looking as dashing as he could ever look in a beige suit.

The entire ceremony was packed with only family and close friends, just as they wanted it.
The entire kingdom, was in a buzz when they found out their Elementress was alive, and even happier to know that she was getting married in her home Kingdom.
The servants helped them all get ready. The girls dressed in their, yes you guessed it black, bridesmaids dresses.
Gwen thought since she wasn't going to wear it, then they most definitely will.

"Okay time to go ladies." Alice says, and they all start walking out the door. Just as her mother comes in. Dressed beautifully in a navy blue dress.

"Wow you look beautiful."
"Thanks mom." She smiles.
Marianna knew Honey would always be a mother to Gwen, and she didn't want to take that from her, but it meant the world to her that she could recognize her as her mother as well.
"I know it may not be my place but, we have a family heirloom,that is passed down from generation to generation. Winston's mom gave it to me and I want to give it to you." She says pulling out a small jewelry box, opening it.
I gasp in awe of the beauty.
"You don't have to wear it-"
"I love it. Thank you."
She walks over to the mirror, taking off the earrings she had before, putting them on instead.
"I cleaned them, don't worry." She giggles. Standing back up straight, she looks at herself in the mirror.
Wow.
"It really looks different on every bride." She says smiling.

"Goes with the dress also." Both women turn to see her father standing in the doorway.
"You look beautiful."
"Thanks dad." A smile takes over his face at her words. He looked to his wife, who smiled as well.
"Shall we?" I nod.
——
I stood outside, waiting for my turn as the girls walked in.
Mary and Ness are my flower girls.

Aiden, walked in looking so cute in his little suit, carrying the rings. I could remember his reaction when he saw me. He said I looked like a princess.
It took a lot out of me to get Jewel, Alice and Ms. D to not over do the ceremony decor. And from the sneak peek I got, I absolutely love it.
The hall we used for the ceremony is known for its reputation of royal weddings, and only being transformed for royal weddings.
I did however give her full reign over the reception so.
"Doesn't my Darla look beautiful." I look behind me. My eyes filling with tears again.
"Amun."
"I..."
"I always saw you as my daughter Darla. From the day you came to stay with us, with you're dramatics." I giggle.
"You did well Darls. And I won't tell him to his face but I'm happy you ended up with Carlisle, than with some other bastard." He wipes away my tears, with his handkerchief.
The music changes and I take his arm, waiting for our cue, as Alice has constantly reminded us to wait for.
(A/N: I know this song came out way after the time period I have for this story, but it fitted it so perfectly.)
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
I hold on tightly to the bouquet, a shakey breath leaving my mouth, my hands sweating.
"Calm down Darls."
I look up at him.
"What if I mess it up?"
He chuckles.
"You won't." I give him a small smile, nodding.
Taking another deep breath, the first I will love you plays, and we walk to the center, my eyes connecting with Carlisle's instantly. A gorgeous smile illuminates his face, which brought a sense of peace to my fast beating heart.

Holding on tighter to Amun's arm, we slowly make our way down the aisle.
The smiles of my family, their presence making this moment even more precious for me.
Ms. D stood in the second row, holding her hands to her heart. Tears falling down her face.
Flashback
"I can't Ms. D." I tell her waddling out the kitchen.
"You listen to me here." She grabs my hands.
"That bastard missed out on a good thing you here me. You and this precious baby, when he is born are going to have the greatest family with you, that his absence won't even be necessary."
My tears wouldn't stop falling, and she pulls me into a hug as I cry.
End of Flashback.
I smile at her and she blows me a kiss.
My eyes meet Henry's who stood as one of Carlisle's groomsmen. Aiden stood in front of him, both smiling. I look down, crying more. Amun hands me his handkerchief, and I dab my tears away.
Looking back at Carlisle, a look of pure love written all over his face.
I never thought I would be here. Walking down to the alter, about to get married.
I've been preparing for my born given purpose for almost my entire life, and after Aiden's father, I just didn't want to fall in love anymore. I was so heartbroken and then this tall, blonde and super good looking man, just decides to show up in town with his family, completely captivating my heart.
Reaching the end of the aisle, I hug Amun, and he places my hand in Carlisle's, handing me over.
"Take care of my daughter Cullen." Carlisle chuckles, smiling down at me.
"Always." I smile.
—
We stare into each other's eyes, holding unto each others hands.
"Do you Carlisle Cullen, take Gwen Benedict, to be your wedded wife? To have and to hold, for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do." He replies, giving my hand a small squeeze. While I'm here trying to fight back the water works.
The atmosphere around us was a little chilled, but nothing too overbearing.
I've been practicing for today.
"Do you Gwen Benedict take this man, to be your wedded husband? To have and to hold, for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, for as long as you both shall live?"
I nod my head, a few tears falling and he wipes them away for me.
"I do."
"May we have the rings." Aiden walks up to us, and Carlisle stoops down, thanking him.
He nods, smiling and walking back to Henry's side.
We exchange our rings, smiling the whole way through it.
"With the power invested in me, in front of all your family and friends, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride."
His arm wraps around my waist, pulling me to him, my arms resting on his chest.
"My wife." He whispers, and I feel my breath hitch.
My eyes flutter close, as our lips touch. His gentle movements making me feel almost weak. I tightly fist his shirt, and he pulls me closer.
He slowly pulls away, our lips lightly brushing against each other. My poor heart fluttering at the gesture.
The sound of the crowds cheers, slowly began to register, and we turn to them. I push my hair, behind my ears. Smiling sheepishly.
"I give to you, Mr. and Mrs. Cullen." The priest announces. They all begin to cheer once more, and we walk down the aisle. Everyone throwing white petals as we passed.
I glance up at Carlisle, smiling.
I couldn't be anymore happier.
—
"What's up everyone it's your boy DJ Emmett!"
"And I'm DJ James! Let's shut this reception down!!" The music begins to blast loudly throughout the place. Persons grabbing partners and rushing to the dance floor.

I honestly expected Jewel and they to do another color, but as she told me, It's your day.
I love them.
Carlisle was off talking to some of his friends, I think their the Denali clan. I meet them, a few minutes ago, but I needed to sit down. My feet are killing me.
I watch as Aiden danced with Mary. Rosalie and Fredrick, watching over them. Ness was trying to get Jacob to dance with her, but the look Edward was giving him, made me want to laugh so hard.
Jacob better be on his best behavior.
"Hey sis." Henry comes to sit next to me.
"Hey Henry."
"You're married now." I laugh.
"I know. Can you believe it?" He nods.
"I knew you would of married him." He says. I look over to him. He glances at me, smiling.
"He's the one." He adds, and I look at him, a smile on his face.
"And what about Ms. Winnie." I look in the girl's direction, her eyes already on us.
She sends a small wave and I wave back.
"You guys official yet?"
"We're talking." He says as if it's nothing.
I look to him flabbergasted.
"Talking? I thought you guys were boyfriend and girlfriend now!"
He shakes his head.
"We're dating, just not official yet."
"I won't have you two timing that girl Henry." He looks rather offended that I would even think that.
"You know me Gwen, I'll never do that. Plus she's my mate. I'm sure it'll hurt me as much as it'll hurt her." He back at her, she quickly looks away blushing I'm sure.
"I'm just not over everything that happened yet."
"I guess I understand."
Her ex did test his patience a lot and most times she watched along and laughed. Not forgetting the jail incident.
Henry told me that James had found out some time a few weeks ago, that Winnie actually knew about Wilson was going to confront them that day, they all ended up in jail.
That she was there when he spoke to his friends about it at school.
You can't just let that go easily.
"Anyway." He turns more to face me.
"We're gonna be okay." I watch him confused.
"Don't worry about us on your honeymoon." My face turns read.
"Young man-"
"Luis and Fredrick are going to help me with my new found DNAs and Amun will be staying until you come back." He quickly changes the subject. Benji actually told me they were going to.
"Aidie will be just fine. We'll take care of him." I roll my eyes.
"Don't roll your eyes at me. I'm telling you now because your leaving right after this." My eyes widen.
"I didn't know that." I glare at Jewel, who turned her and Aro around so her back was facing me.
"Enjoy yourself for once. Like really. Without being on guard, that something bad is just around the corner." He gets up, as Carlisle walks over to us.
He leans down kissing my cheek.
"Happy for you sis."
"Thanks H."
He hits Carlisle on his chest, as he passes.
"Take care of my sister Cullen."
"Henry!"
"It's okay love. I will." Carlisle replies and I shake my head.
"You should've hit him back."
"He's just protective over you." He sits down.
"You ready to go?"
"Already?" I look towards Aiden.
"We can stay a little longer if-"
"Nope." Ms. D says popping the p.
"Time to go."
"But Ms. D-"
"I'll take good care of the munchkin. Plus Rosie promises to help out. You have nothing to worry about."
"I..."
"Go Gwen." Amun says and I sigh defeated. Carlisle puts his hand out to me, and I take it standing up.
——
"The driver will drop you guys at the airport." Alice tells us.
"I-"
"We have everything handled Gwen. Go enjoy yourself." Ms. D tells me.
"Bestie." Jewel drags it out.
"Let's go Carlisle." I say, pulling him, to the awaiting car.
"But I didn't say anything! How can you leave with telling me goodbye." She whines. I stop, turning around and walking back, she opens her arms and I sike her, going to Aiden and kissing his cheek one more time.
They all begin to laugh.
"I'm hurt, best friend." She says pouting.
Giving her a quick hug.
"Love you too bestie."
I walk back over to Carlisle, who stood waiting by the car.
Waving them goodbye, one last time I enter the car. Rosalie holding a now sad looking Aiden.
He waves me, his lips pouting out.
I could run out this car now, and take him with us.
"Bye baby. I'll see you soon okay." He nods, giving me a small smile.
We drive off, and I sit back, feeling as if I could just burst out in tears at any moment.
Carlisle holds my hand, giving it a light squeeze.
"Love." He brings it too his lips kissing it.
"I'm sorry I'm crying so much." He chuckles.
"It's okay." He pulls me to his across his lap.
"I love you." He pushes my hair behind my ears, staring directly into my eyes with so much love and affection.
I smile, leaning in. Letting our lips gently brush against each other, I whisper an I love you too, and she smiles.
"I love you. I love you. I love you." I peck his lips at the end of each sentence, making him laugh.
