Katie Swan is finally happy with her life. She's engaged to marry the love of her life, she's almost finished with her college degree, and she's back on track to gaining her childhood friend's trust again. But, of course, things can never be simple for too long with her sister dating a vampire, being surrounded by werewolves, and her mom not wanting her to marry so young... Sam/OC

Alright, lovelies, I'm back with the next installment of Katie and Sam's story. I would have had it up a bit sooner but I had the entire chapter written out and loved the way I had it, so I copied it, meaning to paste it in the Doc Manager, but I forgot to write a summary, so when I wrote a summary, I copied that then realized that I never saved the chapter anywhere... Yeah, so I had to rewrite it, but nevertheless, here is the first chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight nor do I claim to or am I making any money off this fanfiction. I do it purely for fun and to use my imagination.

The entire table was covered with wedding magazines and papers with my handwriting all over them. It probably would have been easier to plan at home, since everything was there, but the library provided more peace and quiet than my house did.

"You look like you're having fun." I nearly jumped when I heard the voice right behind me. Slightly turning, I saw that it was only Jeremy Thompson, a guy in my English class summer class. Without asking me, he took a seat at the table and began rifling through the magazines.

"Intrude much?" I didn't like being rude but my wedding was only a few months away and because of all the chaos going on, I hadn't been wedding planning like I should have. In fact, the only thing that had been nailed down was the location. Me and Sam had decided to get married at a hotel in Port Angeles. I had wanted to do an outside wedding, but the weather in La Push was way too unpredictable to try to hold an outdoor wedding.

"So, you weren't kidding when you told me that you were getting married?" He commented as he flipped through a bridal shopping magazine that I had long discarded since I had already made an appointment at another bridal shop for later today.

Back in January, I had met Jeremy when we had the same Art History class. He immediately started hitting on me. Though I had told him I was engaged and even showed him the ring a few times, he still didn't seem to all the way take the hint.

"Nope." I picked up the guest list and pretended to be examining it, even though it was a very small wedding and the only people flying in was supposed to be mom and her new husband, Phil.

He continued to chatter on about who knows what. I had tuned him out after the first minute, not even bothering to act like I was listening. After what must to have been five minutes, I looked down at my watch and almost groaned. Sam had dropped me off for my class today since he and Paul had a job out in Port Angeles today. Emily was supposed to pick me up for my dress appointment, which wasn't for another ten minutes.

"Katie." I looked up, ready to thank whoever was saving me from Jeremy. Seth was walking towards me, with a confused look on his face, most likely due to the strange guy sitting at the table with me. "You ready to go?" Without saying another word, I started grabbing everything and putting in the book bag that I had brought with me.

"I'm Jeremy." He stood up, expecting to be taller than Seth. I nearly snorted when Seth got close and he towered over him.

"Seth." He gave Jeremy a nod before grabbing my book bag away from me and slinging onto his back.

"I thought your fiancée's name was Sam." Jeremy's face grew into a smirk, assuming that he just caught me in a lie.

"This is one of his friends." Man, I wouldn't have believed me if I was him, but he needed to learn to back off. "I thought you had school today…" I looked at Seth. He was only a freshman in high school…

"I just got my permit and mom let me skip school since I got it on the first try." He beamed. I understood why he was so proud, it look Leah three times to pass her permit test and Harry almost didn't let her go back to take it.

"You're only 15?" Jeremy interrupted. Seth easily looked like he was 20, due the growth spurt he went through a month or two ago and the phasing had aged his face by several years.

"Mhmm. Sam's even bigger." Seth grinned before turning to leave the library without saying another word. I didn't even wave at him, but rather followed Seth.

"Thank you so much." I said as soon as started walking down the stairs to Sue's minivan, where Emily, Kim, and Leah were crammed into the backseat. Seth opened the side door before practically skipping around to get into the driver's side.

"Should I be scared?" I asked as I climbed in and sat beside Kim.

"I'm a good driver." Seth proclaimed as he pulled out into the street. The boutique that I had made the reservation at was only a few minutes away from the school campus.

We made it to the boutique without too many scares. Thankfully, Seth would be primarily driving in La Push, mainly to school and back, so him driving in a bigger city like Port Angeles would be only a once and a while occurrence.

As soon as we walked into the store, it made me realize that this was actually happening. Me and Sam were getting married in just a few months. I'd be Katherine Uley. Whoa.

"The Swan party?" A perky blonde girl who still looked like she belonged in high school greeted us. She locked eyes on Seth, then looked down. "Now which one of you is the bride?"

"This is Katie." Sue put her hand on my shoulder and guided me to the front of the party.

"Now, who have we all brought with us today?" She asked.

"This is Kim, Leah, and Emily, they're my bridesmaids. Sue is like my second mom, and Seth is a friend of the groom's." I introduced everyone, pointing to them as I said their name. I swear when I said Seth was just a friend of the groom's, her face brightened a little bit.

"My name is Olivia. Please follow me." She had gotten me set up in a dressing room and got the rest of them sat down, ready to appraise a dress that I tried on.

"Now, what are we looking for Ms. Swan?" Olivia asked me once I had gotten into the silk robe they provided.

"I want something simple, but not too plain." With the look on her face, I could tell that it didn't really help her out that much.

"I'll just pull some dresses and we'll go from there." She informed me before walking out of the dressing room.

A few minutes later, she returned with four or five dresses in hand. As she hung them up, I realized that she picked out a few different kinds. The first one she had me try on was a strapless ball gown that made me look like a Disney princess. I knew that the dress wasn't the one, but Olivia insisted that I go show the group to see what they thought.

"You look like a cupcake." Seth commented as soon as I walked out. As I looked into the mirror, I realized he was right.

"It's a nice dress…" Kim tried helping the situation, but I could tell that neither her or anyone else liked the dress.

The next couple of dresses went that way. I started to feel like finding a dress today would be hopeless. I had just walked back in the dressing room and was waiting for Olivia to return, when Sue walked in with a dress in her hand. As soon as I saw it, I found myself falling in love with it.

"Come on; let's get you in this dress." Sue said as soon as she saw my smile. It only took a minute or two to get myself in the dress. As soon as I looked in the mirror, I knew that I had found the one. This was my dress.

"You look beautiful, Katie." I looked at Sue and saw the tears slipping out of her eyes. Without saying a word or warning her, I hugged her. This woman had become a mother to me when my own mother wasn't here.

"Thank you." I wiped my eyes, not having realized before that I was crying too.

"Let's go show everybody, huh?" Sue smiled before leading me out of the dressing room. As soon as I stepped out, I knew everybody loved it as much as I did.

"This is the one." I announced to them, feeling a giant smile on my face.

Once I got the dress off and my clothes back on, we took the dress to the register. Since the dress almost fit perfectly, only a few alterations would have to be made. I got my credit card out of my purse, only for Sue to beat me to it.

"I had orders from a certain Charlie Swan to not let you pay for the dress." She smirked and handed Olivia the credit card.

Me and Sue made plans to come pick the dress up next week then we left the boutique with the rest of our group.

After grabbing a late lunch, we were back in town. Sue dropped me off at dad's house, where Sam would be picking me up once they finished for the day. I didn't mind because this gave me an opportunity to spend time with dad and Bella.

As soon as I walked into the house, I smelt a smoking burner – something that I hadn't smelt in this house since Bella moved up to Forks and dad didn't feel like he had to cook as much.

Walking in the kitchen, I discovered that dad was attempting to cook. He had stuck a can of spaghetti sauce into the microwave. I opened the door and realized he didn't even take the lid off of the can.

"What did I do wrong?" He asked me, clearly clueless about what was going wrong.

"You're supposed to take the lid off first. Metal's bad for a microwave." I explained, setting the can on the counter. Bella walked downstairs as I was transferring the sauce into a microwave-safe container and putting it back into the microwave. She headed for the stove and tried saving the mess that we called noodles

"What's this all about?" Bella asked as she attempted to stir the noodles.

"Don't know what you're talking about." Dad grumbled, looking out into the rain.

"Did I miss something? Since when do you make dinner?" I asked him. "Or try to make dinner, I should say."

"There's no law that says I can't cook in my own house."

"You would know," Bella replied, glancing at his jacket.

"Ha. Good one." He shrugged out of the jacket as if her glance had reminded him he still had it on, and hung it on the peg reserved for his gear.

As Bella tried saving dinner, me and dad sat around the table and talked about my upcoming wedding. He was smug when he realized that Sue had in fact not let me pay for the dress.

"You're already paying for catering, dad…" I ran a hand through my hair.

"Let me do this." He pleaded, even though it was already done.

"Fine, I won't argue anymore." The doorbell then rang and I knew it must had to been Sam, since Edward wasn't allowed to come over till 7 o'clock anymore. Dad went to go get the door and sure enough, it was Sam.

"Hey." He smiled as soon as he saw me and walked into the kitchen. I leaned up and kissed his cheek, trying to keep the public displays of affection down to a minimum, especially in front of my dad.

"Do you want to stay for dinner?" Dad offered.

"We have to get back soon, we've both been gone all day…" I made the excuse. It was nearly 7 and I knew that having Sam and Edward both in the same house would not be a good idea. So, once dad and Sam exchanged pleasantries, we waved goodbye and ran out to his truck.

"Where's Paul?" I asked as he pulled out of the driveway. I was expecting to see Paul in the cab but he was nowhere to be found.

"He's been away from Emily all day. He didn't want to sit in the truck for five minutes while I picked you up, so he just ran back." He explained. The rest of the drive, we talked about our day. I left out the part about Jeremy (even though Sam knew that the imprint was stronger than anything, he still got extremely jealous), but told him about Seth getting his permit and finding the dress.

"I don't have anywhere to be tomorrow so we can spend more time on planning…" Sam offered. While he didn't like sitting for hours picking out colors and invitations, he almost got into it because it was our wedding. Sue had told me that it was like pulling teeth to get Harry to sit down and help plan their wedding. So, I just leaned over and kissed his cheek. I got pretty lucky in the love department.
