"Are you sure this is what you want?" Bella asks Blake as they sit in her room the night before the wedding.

Blake smiles, playing with a tassle on her blanket. "More than anything. I'm ready for it. I need it."

Bella smiles gently. "Are you sure sure? Just because you're his imprint, doesn't mean you have to marry him so soon." She sits up a little and faces Blake.

Blake rolls her eyes gently. "Bella, even if I wasn't his imprint, I'd want him the same way. I had the biggest crush on Embry. Did you see that hair!?"

Bella laughs loudly. "Not the hair, really!? They all look so much nicer without."

B groans. "You think they'll manage to dress appropriately tomorrow?" She bites her lip.

"Carlisle is on it, don't worry. None of them will leave the res until they pass his inspection." Bella promises. "It's gonna be weird to be on the res. We're never allowed there."

"It took a lot of convincing, but Billy finally agreed." Blake smiles a little. "You think dad is really okay with this? Mom isn't. She refuses to come still." She frowns a bit.

Bella squeezes her hand. "Mom's just being mom, you know how she can be. And dad is over the moon for you. You're not right out of high-school marrying a guy who left you and ruined everything for a while."

Blake and Bella giggle a little. "Yeah... Dad still doesn't like Edward, huh."

"It doesn't bother us anymore. He's tolerant towards him, that's all I'd ask for these days. But I'm so glad he's okay with Embry. You deserve happiness." Bella says gently.

Blake smiles and cuddles up. "So what does Alice have planned?"

"Why do you think she has something planned?" Bells smirks.

"That look right there. I hit the nail on the head there, didn't I?" She sighs and leans her head back.

Bella lays beside her sister again. "If you tolerate what Alice is doing, I'll show you the surprise I had planned."

Blake looks at her twin. "Surprise..? Don't do this to me, I don't like surprises." She groans.

Bella giggles. "You'll like it. Come on, we'll go now if you agree."

Blake sits up and deliberates. "Okay fine, fine."

Bella jumps up. "Come on! Do you have a blindfold?"

Blake pales. "Ah come on!"

Bella laughs and grabs one of Blake's scarves, running happily downstairs. "Dad, we're going out! Sue, tell Alice we won't be long!" She calls, dragging Blake out of the house.

They jump in the merc and Bella drives way faster than Blake likes. She reluctantly puts the blindfold on and huffs, crossing her arms the whole way. She tries to think of what it can be, or where they may be going, but Bella drives too fast for her to guess.

"Were here!!!" She sings, jumping out and appearing at Blake's door seconds later, helping her sister out.

"Are we on mud? Ugh, Bella, come o-" She goes silent as her sister pulls the blindfold off. "That's... My... House..." She whispers, staring at the house. Weren't they just putting the framing up three days ago?

Bella smiles. "Tada... It won't be done for a couple of days, but we're gonna be a lot quicker than those builders. What do you think?"

 What do you think?"
