-Narrator's Point of View-

. . .

Everything was coming up roses as Emmaline was flourishing in being a vampire. Well everything except one thing, a huge thing really.

She still didn't know what to do about her father.

"I don't want him to think I've died, I think that would break him." She said to all of them during a family meeting, "and I can't try and fool him, he's way too smart for that."

"Then you'll have to leave." Edward said, no one knew that Edward had spoken with Alice a couple of days ago, she had seen Emmaline writing a note to her father saying that she and Jasper had eloped and that they were going to start their lives together traveling the world.

In truth Edward knew that Jasper was still on the fence with his emotions and thoughts toward Alice, you see if Alice wouldn't have called then he would have gone into the house with Emmaline the night she was attacked and he felt that he could've protected her as he's had to fight much more vampires at once. On the other hand he is alright with what happened because it set everything in motion when it came to their future together.

All in all, Jasper hasn't talked to Alice and she knew better than to call him.

"What do you mean leave?" Jasper asked.

"Emmaline can write a running away letter, but she's 18 so it wouldn't be running away technically, more like moving out." Edward said.

"But what about school?" She asked worriedly.

"You won't have to actually leave, your dad just has to think that you've left, although the smartest thing for you is to start homeschooling because you will not want to run the risk of drinking from a human, you haven't been exposed to a human since you've been turned and we don't know how you'll react." Carlisle spoke up.

Emmaline nodded.

"But my dad will never believe I just ran away." She added.

"We'll say we eloped" Jasper said, "you don't know this, but on your birthday you might've noticed I disappeared for a moment, as did your father. Well the truth is I pulled him to the side to ask for his permission to marry you."

"Really?" Emmaline asked, feeling extremely touched.

Jasper nodded, "so he knows I planned on marrying you, so it's a perfect excuse for us to leave. Newly married, honeymooning, traveling the world and starting our lives."

Emmaline grew excited with the prospect of actually doing these things with Jasper once they REALLY got married. "Okay, I'm in."

Everyone knew the plan and when Emmalines dad arrived back into town he found the note on his office desk.

He immediately ran up the stairs and found Emmaline's room empty of all her belongings with the exception of her large bare furniture.

He drove over to the Cullens house.

"I need to know if this is true!" He shouted as he held up Emmalines note to Carlisle.

Carlisle and Esme sold it perfectly.

"Yes, we woke up one morning to a similar note in Jasper's writing," Carlisle sighed as he showed Emmaline's father up the stairs to an empty bedroom. "He took all of his stuff and left, I checked his accounts and all of his funds and assets have been liquidated."

"One of our daughters heard Emmaline talking about buying a house so we expect that that's where his money is going, but unfortunately Emmaline didn't say where the house was."

"I just can't believe this, I knew the kids wanted to get married, I could see it on her birthday, but I never expecting it to happen this soon, or for them to elope." He said more to himself than anything else.

"They're adults now, what's there to do?" Esme asked.

"I guess we just go on with our lives and hope they give us a call or a letter every now and again to tell us how they're doing." Mr Harper said sadly.

He gave Carlisle his business card, "call or email me if you hear anything, and happy holidays."

As Emmaline sat in Alice's old room with all of hers and Jasper's belongs surrounding them she couldn't help but feel guilty.

"It's for the best Darlin," Jasper reassured her as he rubbed her back. "Why don't you take a moment to yourself while Emmett and I move all of our stuff back up to our room."

She smiled at he sound of him saying "our room." Not his room, or the room, but our room.

She got up and kissed him, "I gotta get ready for the wedding anyways."

. . . . .

"Is it alright?"

Emmaline scoffed, "are you kidding me, Alice this entire wedding and reception is breathtaking!"

"Really?" Alice asked feeling a bit relived, "I was worried because I kinda gave up toward the end."

Emmaline and Renesme shook their heads, "everything seems perfect as usual." Renesme said.

"May I have this dance?" Jasper whispered as he hugged Emmaline from behind.

She smiled, and if she were still human she would have had a deep blush.

"When are you two tying the knot?" Alice questioned them playfully.

"Well if Emmaline catches that bouquet I guess I'll have no choice but to marry her." Jasper teased.

Emmaline's mouth popped open and he quickly kissed her, she gave him a wry smile to rival his cheeky grin, "we still haven't picked a date yet but when I do, do you think you can plan our wedding?"

"Are you sure?" Alice asked happily.

"Of course," Emmaline responded in a 'duh' tone, "there would be no us if it wasn't for you."

Alice hugged her before being pulled away by her new husband.

"That was kind of you." Jasper said as he held his fiancée close.

She smiled, "it was the truth plus she does amazing work, I mean look at this wedding."

Jasper chuckled softly.

"Granted ours will be a lot smaller and much more intimate."

"You can have whatever kind of wedding your heart desires Darlin."

They danced expertly to the song playing and Emmaline stopped and kissed her fiancé, "Sugar any wedding that you're at, is the wedding I want."

He beamed and as another song started her smiled now matched his perfectly.

"Can you foxtrot?" He asked excitably.

"This super handsome guy tried to teach me once, I think i remember a thing or two."

He removed his jacket and rolled up his sleeves and the memory of their first date rushed over her as he grabbed her hand and they began to move perfectly in sync with each other and the song.

When the song finished so did they and a large crowd that they had attracted clapped loudly.

"Love you Sugar."

"Love you Darlin."
