"BELLA?" A soft voice moved throughout the Cullen's house as footsteps were heard pressing against the wooden stairs. Heels pressed against the wooden stairs, the sound echoing throughout the house.

"In here." Hearing her sister's voice, Olivia grinned and ran inside, gasping when she saw her beautiful sister wearing a sheepish smile. Her eyes began to water at the sight of her older sister, her heart swelling with happiness. Bella's face was painted with makeup, the type that gave off a natural look while her hair was done upwards, in a braided bun with a few strands of hair that framed her angelic face.

"You look so gorgeous!" She squealed, running over to her sister and hugging the daylights out of her, finding comfort in her older sister's arm. Olivia couldn't believe her sister was finally going to get married! She was surprised she even found someone with her awkward and anti-social attitude, but after meeting Edward, she realised they were quite similar.

"Thank you, Liv." The said girl smiled at the old nickname that Bella gave to her when they were younger. The older Swan smiled as she gazed up at her baby sister, a soft smile tugging at her lips. "I love your dress." She compliments, the brunette gazing at her outfit.

"Thank you, Bells." Olivia smiled, giggling as she brushed a piece of her hair back. The younger Swan has gone to the salon to cut her hair shorter, wanting to donate some of her hair to the cancer patients that resided in Forks.

Olivia wore a rose gold sleeveless princess dress that was open in the middle, showing off her long legs. She matched the dress with a pair of pink heels with gold swirls wrapped around the heel part along with the sides of the shoes. For accessories, she decided to go simple and placed on simple constellation earrings and a few rings that were gifted to her by her family and friends from way before. Her makeup was done naturally, just light shades of brown eyeshadow and nude colour lips and nails.

"Alice? Bella?" Hearing their mum's voice, Bella yelled that she was in here. Renee walked inside to see both her daughters looking very beautiful.

"Oh my gosh!" She gasps as stares at her daughters who both wear smiles. "You look so beautiful!" She gushes as tears of happiness fill her eyes. "Crap! My mascara."

Olivia giggled as Alice pulled out a handkerchief for Renee to use. "Charlie! Get in here!" Renee yelled as the girl's father walked inside awkwardly. Both Bella and Olivia looked at their father in shock as he wore a suit and tie as he grinned cheekily.

"I know, I look hot." The youngest Swan giggled, nodding her head. Bella felt her eyes water as she gazed at her lovable divorced parents that are still friends.

"We thought you needed something blue." Renee started as Charlie opened a black box, a family heirloom on display.

"And something old." He finished as he smiled at his eldest daughter that was about to get married. "Besides your mother." He adds, the girls laughing as Renee rolls her eyes, hitting him with the provided handkerchief.

"Wow, guys. Thank you." Bella looked at the clip with awe as she hands it to Alice, who placed it in her hair.

"It was Grandma Swan's," Charlie told them as he watched his daughters best friend place the heirloom in her hair.

"But we added the sapphires," Renee added, smiling.

"Wow, thank you." Bella thanked, still in awe and shock.

"It's your first family heirloom." Renee cried as she gazed into the mirror, watching her daughter. "You can pass it on to your daughter, then her daughter."

Bella looked slightly saddened as her eyes met Rosalie, who gave her a small smile of pity which didn't go unnoticed by Olivia, whose eyes narrowed.

"Mom, I love it." Bella stands and goes to hug her mom but was stopped by Alice, who looked at her with a stern look.

"No smudging my masterpiece." She scolded, giggling when Renee agreed, the handkerchief still in her hand. Olivia watched with a small smile as she saw her family interact.

"Now, who wants to see the dress?" Alice asks as she takes it from the closet, a protective cover over it.

"I do!" Olivia squealed as she races over to the pixie-like girl. Bella laughs at her sister before sitting down and allowing Rosalie to do some last touches to Bella's makeup.

"Your sister is innocent." Rosalie smiled as she gazed at her twin brother's mate. Bella nodded, her eyes soft as she gazed at her younger sister. "She's going to be good for Alex." The brunette nodded, still hesitant about the fact that her baby sister was mated to the troublesome Cullen.
