I pushed my foot harder on the accelerator. I watched the speed-o-meter pass 80. Still not fast enough! I thought to myself. Alice had text me the details, letting me know where and when the wedding had taken place. As soon as she had, I knew my decision was made. I had chickened out way too many times. There was no way I was going to let this happen without putting up a fight. The dial pushed passed 90. My car could go a lot of faster then that, but I had to keep by speed under 100, I didn't want to tell Bella not to marry Jacob from beyond the grave.

I glanced at the clock on the dashboard. The wedding was due to begin in five minutes. My phone vibrated in my pocket. Keeping one hand on the wheel and my eyes on the road I pulled it out. I slowed down slightly, letting the dial fall back to 70 as I flipped open my phone. One new message from Alice. I pressed 'read' as I kept my eyes on the road. I looked down at my phone quickly, letting my eyes flicker between the message and the road. Luckily I was on a very straight, quiet road.

We have just talked to Bella. I glanced at the road. I can tell she isn't sure. Road. I don't think she wants to do this. Road. I either hope you get her in time or she comes to her senses. Get here soon, Bella is walking down the aisle. I closed the phone, slipping it back in my pocket. The wedding had begun. I pressed harder on the accelerator, now letting it pass 100, suddenly not caring about my safety. Alice thinks she wasn't sure. There was hope. I gritted my teeth, I needed to get there. I finally zoomed into forks, going straight through a red light. I internally flinched, waiting for sirens from an officers cruiser to sound. Nothing. I breathed a sigh of relief. I slowed, now having to turn corners on the narrow town roads. Just one more minute and I will be at the church. I reasoned with myself, seeing the top of the church come into view behind the many houses.

I turned many corners, zoomed up many roads when the church suddenly came into view. I stomped on my break, the car came to a sudden halt, throwing me forward only to be restrained by my seat belt. I unclipped myself quickly, throwing open the door and running towards the large steps leading to the church doors. I couldn't hear what was happening inside, the large doors kept everything concealed inside. I ran the steps, two at time reaching the top in mere seconds. Without stopping my sprint, I threw myself into the doors. The opened against my weight but the big heavy doors had winded me, causing me to stop.

I looked up, and half way down the aisle stood Bella, surrounded by my family. Everyone was squinting at me, trying to see who it was, apart from Alice, who wore a smile so big I was worried her face might break. I looked back at my beautiful Bella and I started to walk into the church. She walked towards me. I suddenly worried if she was going to hate me, or slap me but decided I would endure any amount of pain Bella would throw at me if it meant she wouldn't marry Jacob. As we met at the middle I gushed out my words. "Bella, you can't marry Jacob. Please, I love you. Don-" Bella placed her finger on my mouth. I looked down into her eyes, seeing nothing but unconditional love. Then her perfect lips said the words I believed I could only dream of.

"I'm not marrying him, my heart belongs with you." She whispered in her beautiful voice before placing her soft hands on my cheeks. "I love you Edward Cullen" Then she placed her lips on mine. My heart jumped and I wrapped my arms around her. Far from the reaction I was expecting, but who am I to complain? I heard my family sigh. Then Emmett laughed, "Bout time too." We released each other, both turning to face my family with huge grins on our faces.

"You bastard, Cullen!" Jacob roared from the altar. Everyone jumped and turned to face Jacob. We had all forgotten where we were at this precise moment. At Bella's wedding, with her jilted fiancé and his family. Jacob was storming towards us, Emmet jumped in front of Rose, Jasper in front of Alice, Carlisle in front of Esme and I shoved Bella behind me. I heard her protests but I ignored them as I focused on Jacob. He was heading straight for me, I poised myself, as did Emmett, Jasper and Carlisle. I glanced at them, not wanting to involve them. It was my fight, not theirs. Unexpectedly Charlie jumped up from his seat. "Jacob Black, you touch any of them and I will arrest you for assault!" He said, walking after him. Jacob scoffed. "Shut up, you stupid old man!" Jacob growled, now only a few paces away from us. Charlie caught up with Jacob and grabbed his shoulder. "Charlie no!" I called out, knowing what he was capable of. Jacob turned round, his fist pulled back ready to hit Charlie. I leapt from my spot in front of Bella, making contact with Jacob before he could injure Charlie.

We rolled, and I managed to get him underneath me. He swung his arms trying to hit me and get me off him. I heard behind me Esme, Rosalie and Alice urgently telling the guests to leave. I heard shuffling and groans but I ignored them, focusing more on the thrashing Jacob underneath me. "Get off me." He hissed at me. I used all my strength to grab both his arms and pin them on his sides. Emmett and Jasper appeared at my sides. "Got your back, bro." Jasper said as he motioned for me to stand. I jumped up, and Jacob took that opportunity to kick and thrash. Luckily, he missed all of us. He jumped up too, his hands turning into claws, his eyes filled with pure, undiluted hate. Emmett and Jasper jumped forward, each grabbing one of his arms. He thrashed again. "Get off!"

"Not a chance" Emmett said, as they dragged Jacob off and taking him out the church. Jacob thrashed again as they passed the girls, Carlisle and Charlie. He turned to look straight at Bella and hissed, "You are going to pay for this!" Jasper and Emmett quickened their pace, getting him out of the now empty church. I walked up to where everyone was stood, a pair or arms snaked around my waist. "Are you okay?" Bella asked, nothing but concern was on her face. "I am now, my love." I whispered, placing a kiss on her forehead. "Charlie, are you okay?" I asked, looking up.

"I am," he smiled at me, walking towards us. He held out his hand. "Thanks, Edward." He said as I shook his hand. I heard commotion outside, concerned about Jasper and Emmett, we all ran towards the entrance.

Alice wailed as she saw Jasper with blood dripping from his cheek, laying on the floor. Emmett had Jacob pinned to the floor, he look unscathed. Carlisle ran over to Jasper with Alice closely behind. Alice placed his head in her lap, I saw his eyes flutter open and a smile play on his lips.

Esme whimpered from behind me. Her babies and her husband were near an outraged Jacob and she couldn't do anything about it. I heard a low grunt of pain come from Emmett, bringing my attention back to the fight. Jacob had punch Emmett in the gut, but it still appeared Emmett had the upper hand. Rosalie hissed, running forward to protect Emmett, only to be stopped by Esme grabbing her arm. "Rose, no! Emmett wouldn't want you to get involved!" Rose bit down on her lip knowing that Emmett would only hurt himself more trying to protect her. She looked longingly at Emmett, concern in her eyes. Jacob punched Emmett again, Rosalie let out a cry of pain.

"Esme, keep hold of Bella." I commanded, before jumping off the steps and running towards Emmett. I heard a cry of protest escape from Bella. I wanted to go back to Bella, to soothe her, but my brother needed me now. Jacob pushed Emmett off, causing him to roll backward.. Jacob jumped up, and he spun to face me. I crouched, ready to attack, Jacob poised him self, but by this time Emmett had jumped from the ground. He sprang from his place, leaping into Jacob. Jacob flew to the ground, grunting as his head made contact with the floor. All Emmett needed was a distraction for him to gain the upper hand once again/ Emmett rolled Jacob onto his front then pulled Jacobs arms from his to on his back. Then Emmett did something so funny, I couldn't help but laugh. Emmett sat on him. As if Jacob was no more then a fallen log.

I could hear Jacob wheeze his protests, his legs were kicking and thrashing. I walked over to them, grabbing hold of his legs and pinning them to the floor. Jacob wiggled slightly, but it was nothing Emmett and I couldn't handle. Footsteps came from behind me, I looked over my shoulder to see Charlie now behind me. He pulled out a pair of handcuffs from his pant pocket and knelt down beside me. Emmett got up, but still held onto Jacobs arms.

Charlie quickly cuffed Jacob. "Jacob, I am taking you to the station. You are going to be put into a cell until you have calmed down, you are a threat to everyone, including yourself at the moment." He said, authority ringing through his voice. I released my grip on Jacobs legs, satisfied that he would not try anything now that he could not use his arms. Emmett pulled Jacob up from the ground using one arm. Charlie grabbed hold of Jacob, directing him towards his cruiser. "Charlie, I'm going to come with you. In case Jacob tried anything again." Emmett stated. Charlie smiled at him and nodded as the took him towards the car. Jacob looked over his shoulder at me. His eyes were cold. He mouthed the words "I'll get you for this" before he turned back. His words sent a shiver down my spine, but I refused to let them affect me. "Edward!" Bella called from her spot behind Esme. Esme stepped aside, satisfied there was no longer a danger. Bella ran down the steps without falling which was surprising because not only was it Bella but she still had her wedding dress on.

I opened my arms for her and she gladly slipped into them. "He didn't hurt you, did he?" She quizzed looking up at me. "Not a scratch." My gaze travelled to where Jasper and the rest of my family now stood. Guilt washed through me as I noted the cut across his face. He shouldn't have been injured, it was my fight not his. With Bella still hugging onto my side, I walked us over to huddle that was surrounding Jasper. Esme was double checking his face even thought Carlisle was assuring her that he was perfectly fine. She couldn't help but worry, that was typical Esme. Alice was tucked into Jaspers side, reminding me of Bella. Rosalie was staring at he twin, making sure he was alright although I could see in her eyes she would not be satisfied until she had Emmett in her arms. She needed to make sure he was perfectly fine too. They all turned to look at us as we made it to them, smiles radiating from every face, bar one.

"Jasper, I'm sorry man I-" His raised hand silenced me.

"Don't even try to apologize bro."

"Not for that anyway." Rosalie added, glaring at me. Ouch. I knew, although as it seemed Bella had forgiven and forgotten easily, it would be a different story with my family, especially Rose. "I'm sorry." I said, staring straight at her.

"There will be time later for apologies and for us all to talk, right now I'm just glad I have my family back." Esme smiled before wrapping her arms around my neck. I felt four more pairs of arms wrap around me, another reluctant pair joined as well. I closed my eyes, enjoying the feeling of being hugged by my family. I'll get you for this. Jacobs words swirled around my head. My eyes flew open. Its okay, I reasoned with myself, he isn't here. I closed my eyes once again, refusing to let no one, including Jacob Black, ruin this moment.

Author Note : First about this update and then I will tell you the exciting news! Okay, so as you can see, not everything is perfect yet and they will have to work everything out with their families and between them as well. Like what really happened, why they both did stupid things, etc. I am guessing a lot of you are thinking, 'why didn't Billy or Jacob's family put up a fight?' or 'Jacob should have put up more of a fight' Well that will be answered, my pretties, have faith.

I'm not sure how I feel about this chapter, I had the original typed up and ready to go then my old computer crashed. So I had to start all over, maybe it turned out better, maybe it turned out worse, who knows!

Okay, exciting news! I just received an email from Cyartia who just told me 'In My Arms' has been nominated for the category "The Fic With All The Drama!" in the contest "You're Never To Young To Write".
