I watch Paul as he and the boys mess around in the water; he sees me looking and wiggles his hips with a wink, making me laugh and shake my head. "You're crazy Lahote!"

"You love It!" He calls back

"You love It!" He calls back.

Sam rolls his eyes as he sits with Eli on his lap, sitting him up against his chest. He's almost 5 months old, he's growing so fast. "Gross." Sam says.

"You and Em are just as gross." I kiss his cheek and lean back to enjoy the sun. "So.. I got a question for you."

"Yes."

"Yes, ask? Or yes to the question?" I frown.

"Yes, I'll walk you down the aisle. Even though you waited until the day before to ask." He nudges me with a smile.

I blush and giggle. "I was nervous!" I defend.

He rolls his eyes. "You should've just asked. I'll always say yes."

I hug his arm. "Do you think I'm making the right decision?"

"Yes. You're making the right decision for you right now; maybe it won't be right later on but it is right now." He leans his chin on my head.

"Will mom come...? She's been staying with Billy for the last month." I sigh.

Sam hesitates. "I don't know... she's scared. She's scared Paul is just like Joshua."

I frown deeply. "Paul is nothing like dad." I sit up, a little annoyed. "How could she think such a thing!"

He sighs. "I don't know, Rob, she never said much else. She won't speak to me either." He sighs again and sits Elijah up a little more. "I've never seen her like this."

I pull my knees to my chest, frowning. "Maybe I should cancel the wedding.."

"Alice would murder you." Sam laughs.

I smile small, knowing she would. Alice helped me plan the wedding - well, she basically planned the whole thing - because I had no idea what to do. "It just won't feel right if she isn't there." I look up at him and sigh.

"She's made her decision. You think about yourself here; stop putting your life on hold for everyone else." He pokes my nose to lighten the mood and I scrunch it up. "Here, change your son."

I laugh and hold my hands up. "Oh no no you're the one who wanted him. Wipes and diapers are in the bag!" I call as I run to the water and jump on Paul's back. "Hey sexy." I mumble and wrap my arms around him.

"Told you I was sexy!" Paul yells at Quil.

I laugh and jump down letting him pull me into a hug. "You are sexy, even with a dad bod." I tease.

He gasps and throws me into the water making me shriek. I resurface and tackle him, laughing as he tumbles down in surprise. "Get a room!" Jacob calls as he and Renesmee come out of the treeline. Despite being barely a year old she looks about 9 years old.
