Swan Goin' Wolf

Dress Shopping

 This morning Sam had gotten up before the sun to teach Jacob some more of the ropes. Jacob had only been human a few times since he phased and it was wearing the pack down. He was angry that he ditching Bella like Edward did and it only spurred his wolf more to be let out. Today was my appointment to find my dress for the wedding. Natalie pushed that we get this taken care of and out of the way so it wouldn't get pushed till the last minute and I wouldn't have to buy a dress off the rack.

"Morning, daddy." I said as dad hopped in the car.

"Morning, Sunny." Dad said. I was excited for this and I was glad that dad was willing to come with us and help. The others were going to meet us at the dress shop. Allison was ecstatic that I had asked her to come with us and help pick out the dress. It was all she had talked about for the past week. The dress shop was a small brick building on the first street, Allison, Natalie and Kim where waiting outside. Allison smiled and pulled me into a hug when dad and I got to the door.

"Are you excited?" Kim asked as we walked inside and I nodded with a smile. Allison walked up to a woman that sat behind a small desk to tell her we were here for our appointment. The woman looked up from her paperwork and pointed to the dress racks in the room.

"She said to start looking and Melissa will be out soon to help us." Allison said and we set to the racks. Dad seemed a little out of his element and basically just stood off to the side watching us flip through the racks of dresses. Soon a tall brunette came into the room in a tight fitted black dress.

"I'm looking for Miss. Swan?" She said and I smiled.

"That'd be me." I said. Her smile faltered as her eyes zeroed in on the scars. With some effort she kept it in place, but my mood had already taken a sudden down turn with the look she was giving me.

"Well have you found anything you would like to try on yet?" She asked and I nodded as I lifted my arm that had three dresses that we had decided I should try on.

"So when is the wedding?"Melissa asked as she shut the dressing room door.

"The middle of October." I said and she nodded, writing it down on a clipboard that she carried.

"A church wedding, beach?" She asked.

"We're getting married on the cliffs, but our reception will be on the beach." I said and she nodded taking the first dress out of the bag and holding it so I could get into it. The dress was pretty with it's ruffled skirt and beaded bodice. We walked out to show everyone. They raked their eyes over the dress, but there wasn't a reaction.

"It's pretty." Kim said and I nodded.

"But not the one." Dad said and I shook my head in agreement.

"Next." I said and we went back to the dressing room. I tried on a couple more dresses to no avail in anything that looked perfect. There was a light knock on the door and Melissa opened it.

"Yes?" She asked.

"Show Sunny this one." I heard dad's voice say from the other side of the door. Melissa pulled another dress bag through the door and shut it. She hung it on the bag and pulled out the dress. It was different from the other gowns. For one it was short instead of the long gowns that we had been choosing. Melissa helped me into it and I turned to look in the mirror and gasped.

"It's perfect." I said and I could feel the tears pooling in my eyes. Melissa smiled and opened the door to lead me out. Allison and Natalie gasped while Kim smiled as I walked out. I smiled and saw that their were tears in dad's eyes as he stared at me.

"Who picked this one out?" I asked and they all turned to dad.

"You did daddy?" I asked and grunted an affirmative not looking anyone in the eye.
