The Life Of Anna Whitlock-Hale (Book IV)

II

I sat beside Jasper as he held Sara who was still passed out. I was sipping a glass of champagne. 

"Excuse me, is this on?" Emmett's voice filled the area. "Hello? Um, I'd like to propose a toast. To my new sisters. Since Anna refused to have toasts at her wedding. I hope you've gotten enough sleep these last eighteen years. 'Cause you won't be getting anymore for a while."

I flicked him off while laughing slightly. I groaned as Jessica walked up to the stage.

"Well, first things first, it was rude that Anna and Jasper didn't invite me to their wedding." Jess snipped.

"Bitch we ain't even friends." I called out causing laughter to fill the area.

"Anyway, Bella was just like everybody else, totally mesmerized by Edward. Or "the hair", as I call him." Jess says causing me to roll my eyes. "And then suddenly, Edward is all about Bella. Even though she's not the cheer captain of the volleyball team. I'm just kidding. Or president of the student council."

"Jealous much?" Emmett and I called out causing Jessica to blush walking off stage.

I smirked as Dad walked up on the stage to give his toast.

"Edward will be a good husband." Dad says gruffly. "I know this because I'm a cop. I know things. Like how to hunt somebody to the ends of the earth. This includes you Jasper, hurt my girls and you'll find out."

I laughed loudly leaning into Jasper as dad walked off stage. Alice comes up grabbing my hand. I kept trying to escape from her grip and she gently pushed me in front of the mic. I blushed as everyone was laughing.

"I'm making her give her husband and the newly weds a speech." Alice said into the mic causing people to laugh.

"I didn't plan for this but okay," I sighed. "I first actually want to thank the Cullen's. Some of you may not know this but Bella and I are actually cousins that were born on the same day. My mother died giving birth to me and my father went awol when he was in the war. I finally found him, Beaufort Swan after I met the Cullen's. I also want to congradualte the newly weds. I'm honestly shocked Bella said yes to marrying Edward. She'd always told me she never wanted to get married and have it end in divorce. Edward thank you for making my sister happy. If you hurt her I will personally kill you. Jasper, I want to thank you. You made me the happiest woman on earth. Yes, we may have only been eighteen when we had our little Sarabell. But I wouldn't change it for the world. Also for those who thinks Jazz and I got married because I ended up pregnant, you can shut the fuck up, we got engaged on my eighteenth birthday. I can't wait to spend eternity with you Jazz. I love you all. Sarabell is worn out from being held all day she's sleeping on Jasper by the way."

Everyone awed as I exit the stage so Alice can give her toast. I sighed sitting down beside Jasper who kissed me. I down the rest of my champagne. 

"Now that you're my new sister, you'll have to get over your aversion to fashion. Skirts, heels and handbags." Alice says.

"She's getting chilled." Jasper whispered.

I nodded getting up from my seat walking over to Bella and Edward.

"I'm going to take Sara inside, she's getting chilled being out here." I whispered.

"Alright." Bella nodded. "Just come out when we're leaving?"

"I will, I promise." I say kissing each of their cheeks. 

I head back to Jasper gingerly taking Sara out of Jasper's arms. She started crying from being awakened. I shush her gently while bouncing her.

"I'll be in the living room." I murmur. "Gonna lay her in the playpen."

Jasper nodded kissing me. 

"I'll be in a few minutes." He says.

I nodded heading into the house. I glanced at the clock and decided she needed a bottle. I head to the kitchen to make her a bottle. Her cries quietened down to whimpers. Once I finished her bottle and heated it up. I head to the living room sitting down in the rocking recliner. I slip the nipple into her mouth kicking off my heels. Halfway through the bottle I gently burp her before letting her finish it and burping her again. I held her close gently patting her bottom as I rocked.

"Lullaby and goodnight, with roses bedight

With lilies o'er spread is baby's wee bed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumber be blessed

Lullaby and goodnight, thy mother's delight
Bright angels beside my darling abide
They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast
They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast." I sang gently. 

Once the song was over she was sound asleep. I gently laid her down in the playpen making sure not to wake her. Once she was fully settled I sighed sitting down in the chair rubbing my sore feet. Jasper walked in sitting down on the floor in front of me taking over in rubbing my feet.

I stood barefoot outside smiling as Bella hugged dad. Bella walked up to me afterwards. She pulled me into a tight hug. 

"Jake was here." She whispered.

"What?" I hissed pulling back slightly. "What happened?"

"He's angry that I'll be human on my honeymoon." She says. "Also Paul says he's stopping by after everyone leaves." 

I gave her a nod tucking her hair behind her ear. 

"Be sure to wear sunscreen." I smirked.

"You know where he's taking me?" She asked.

"I mean Edweirdo did ask me about it." I smirked. "Your husband's waiting."

"Bye." She says. 

"Bye, sis." I whispered. "Soon we'll be together for eternity." 

She kissed my cheek crying slightly. 

"Why are more of a mom to me than my own damn mother?" She sobbed.

My eyes widen as I pulled her into my arms holding her close eyeing Renee who was glaring at me over Bella's shoulder.

"Now we've got Esme." I say loud enough for Renee to hear. "She's been the best mother we've had. Since I couldn't meet mine."

"I love you." She says.

"And I love you." I reply brushing her tears away. "Be safe. Take care of her Edweirdo."

"Always, Annabella." He smirked.

I glared at him flipping him the bird for using my full name. He and Bella climbed in the car as we threw seeds at them. My idea I think the birds would like it more. I smiled as Jasper held me close as they drove away. I faintly heard a pained howl. Jacob.
