I didn't have a lot of time to be sad, as when I pushed open the door that night, I was immediately bombarded by my family. 

 Sadie managed to push her way to the front as I held up my hands in confusion. She was beaming, her face looked like she usually made it to be, but her eyes shone bright blue, something that happened when she was happy. She began yelling out some random French words, until she finally got her point across by lifting up her hand. 

 On her pale, slender finger, a glistening silver ring rested. On her left hand. 

 I swear I didn't mean to, but all of the sadness in my body evaporated, and I squealed, grabbing her hand and leaping in the air. My heart beat so fast I thought I was going to die, and Sadie squealed in response, responding to my tight hug by one of her own. It was good now, that neither of us had to worry about crushing the other. 

 "You did it! You did it!" I yelled, shoving Emmett out of the way so I could tackle Alice in another hug. She was grinning so wide it looked painful, but to be fair, so were all of us. 

 "I did!"

 "Oh my- congratulations you two!" 

 This was it, my two favorite girls in the world were finally getting married! I thought back to when we were hiding away in Arizona, and she kept deeply inhaling the scent on the pillows. I thought it was weird, now I think it is amazing. 

 "Missus and missus..." Emmett paused, leaning his head to the side like the confused teddy ber he was, "okay, what sounds better, Alice Michaels or Sadie Cullen?" 

 "They both sound amazing!" I admitted as Jasper floated to my side and pressed a gentle kiss on my forehead. He leaned in so his face was touching my neck, whispering so quietly I barely heard him. 

 "Are you okay?" 

 I turned my head up just so I could glance at his face. Jasper's face, the face that I fell in love with, the face that I married, and the face that I intend to see every day for the rest of my life. 

 "I will be."

 Snow fell in a graceful sheet on the ground, giving me and my niece something to bond over. 

 She had grown a lot, and now resembled more of a four to five year old, and less of the two-month old she should be. I get more nervous every time I look at her, wondering just how much time she has left. 

 "Cordie, it's a snowflake!" Renesmee grinned, showing off her brilliant white teeth, and using the only name she ever refers to me as. I smiled, leaning in so she could so me the snowflakes on her hands, saying intact for longer than usual with her cold skin. 

"Yeah, isn't it pretty?" I stood up straighter, brushing the growing mound of snow off of my head, and making Nessie giggle. Ah yes, Nessie... I hate to admit it, but the nickname grew on me. It really is quite cute.
