Heart of the Pack

Chapter 15 - Celebrations or Funerals?

December 31st 2007

Over the past couple of months, the Cullen's have been collecting witnesses since Alice's vision of the Volturi coming to Forks, so everyone had been witnessing Nessie grow, I pretty much avoided the Cullen's house as much as I could as I didn't want Harry around vampires that drank Human blood. The increase of bloodsuckers in the area had caused more Quileute's to phase, it wasn't good they were too young, they were only thirteen, they had hardly lived there lives before they were thrown into this world, I had helped them through the process as a motherly figure for them, I had been through it with Collin so I knew what to do with them.

The Volturi were arriving today, new year's eve, both the Uley pack and the Black had stayed together last night due to the uncertainty of what would be today's outcome. All the imprints were saying their goodbyes to each other, the tension in the air thick as nobody wanted anyone to die today. The youngest members of the pack would be staying with the imprints, the elders, me and Harry today, just in case some leeches made their way to the reservation. We had wished everyone luck, just as they headed out, at this point everyone was crying, I called Jake back who came running over, "Jakey, be careful today, stay safe. Don't get hurt this time, I need you to come back to me ... I mean Harry need his daddy and I need my best friend but remember Jacob if anything happens today, I love you with all my heart, stay safe, I'll see you soon" I cried to him pulling him in for another hug, I held him so close I didn't want to let him go at all, unfortunately he had to leave, he ran off without saying anything. I had just admitted to Jacob Black that I loved him and he didn't say anything.

We all made our way back into Emily's, we all sat there is silence, consumed in our thoughts, I cast my mind back to Christmas Day, the whole pack had spent it at Charlie's house who now knew about the wolves as Jake thought it was a good idea to phase in front of him just so Charlie could be around Bella for longer without her having to disappear. It actually helped Bella but it technically put Charlie into a lot more danger, Mom and Charlie were now official and she had moved in with Charlie, it was nice seeing them both happy. It was nice that we had got to spend a day all together, that might be the last time I see them all again, who knows after today, I guess we will find out soon. Harry and Renesmee had be spoiled so much at Christmas, they were the only children in our dysfunctional family so everyone gave them attention, I just hope they all made it back today. Me and Jake had planned to get Harry baptized after our birthdays but we were yet to set a date, but it would be March, I couldn't believe he was almost two, he knew everyone's names, he had his favorite people, Emmet also known as "m it", Paul, "pawly", Leah "LeLe" and Seth "setty" I don't know if it was a good idea letting Harry be around Emmet and Paul so much seeing as they are both complete idiots but they made my baby happy and I loved them both dearly. I was jealous of everyone who had an imprint, I wouldn't ever find someone around here, I just need to get away. Jacob would never return my feelings.

"Mia, want to do some wedding plans? Get our mind off what's going on out there and give us something to look forward?" Emily said from across the room, I just nodded getting out of the love seat leaving harry with my mom playing with his new toys on the floor. "So... I was thinking romance as the theme, red and gold as the color theme, so the bridesmaids red dresses with gold detailing which match the boy's suits, I can have red and white flowers in my bouquet with gold lace/ribbon" Emily said, "Em, it sounds perfect, where are do you want the wedding and reception to be?" I asked, "I want it on the beach near the house, both the reception and the ceremony, because I want to watch the sunset with Sam at the reception as we have our first dance" Em gushed. She had it all planned out, but to be fair she had been planning her wedding since we were little girls I'm glad she's happy and that her and Leah are getting along now, Embry helped a lot with that one. We sorted more details out for the wedding and booked into the bridal shop to try on wedding dresses for Emily and then bridesmaid dresses for me, Leah, Rachel and Kim and last but not least a flower girls outfit for Claire and Renesmee.
