Author Notes: This was gonna be the ending of Growing Pains, but I had decided against it. I swear, if Alice was my neighbor, she'd be driven crazy with my indecisiveness. I am ALWAYS changing my mind. I just thought you guys deserved to see the ending, I had planned instead of the meadow scene. I'm absolutely, positively, that you guys would like this better.
Eloped
"Alice will kill us, you know? After all that hard work of planning a wedding…" Edward kissed Bella as they laid on the bed in their hotel room. They had just eloped and were now married. Bella returned the kiss.
"We'll have another wedding in 30 or 50 years and she can plan it then. To make up for this one, I'll let her take me shopping." Edward chuckled since Bella hated shopping. He rolled on top of her, placing his hands on either side of her head to hold him up and kissed her.
"Lets forget about everyone else and concentrate on us for tonight." Edward carefully took Bella's clothes off.

Back at the Cullens, Alice was dry-sobbing in Jasper's chest, upset at the actions of her brother and sister. How could they break her heart like this? Didn't they love her at all? She went through all the trouble of planning the wedding and everything. All that was left was to order the flowers.
Jasper rubbed her back and tried to calm his wife down. He glanced around and asked if anyone knew why his precious pixie was upset and came running to him.
"Edward and Bella eloped." Rosalie said, painting her nails. "It was a last minute decision. Don't worry Alice, Emmett and I will get married again so you can plan a wedding for us." Rosalie was trying to cheer her favorite sister up, but Alice just cried in Jasper's shirt.
Jasper rubbed her back, calming her down with his ability. "Shh, Ali." He soothed and picked her up, bridal style and held her close, allowing her to dry sob against him.

Edward snuggled up against Bella as they recovered from making love for the first time. Neither one knew what to expect or what to feel exactly. It was of course, slightly painful for Bella, even as a vampire, but once past the pain she had very much enjoyed herself.
Now the two laid on the floor, panting unnecessarily. They had broken the bed in the hotel room they were staying in. Bella rolled on her side and looked at Edward.
"I was just thinking of my life." She told him, getting his attention.
"Oh? What about it exactly?" He asked, running a hand down her face. Bella took his hand and kissed his palm.
"Everything, actually." She whispered. "How lucky I am to have met you and everyone else. I don't think my parents, my birth parents could've asked for a better family to care for me." He smiled. He hoped her parents would be proud of the way she was raised.
She continued, "And thinking how growing up is a pain, you work hard to become an adult and once a grown up, you want to be young again, at least that's how some humans are. Though I wouldn't change anything. I love my life."
Edward leaned over and kissed her as he made love to his beautiful wife all over again. Let Alice be mad, eloping was the best decision they made.
The end.
End Notes: Finally finished this, though I had put it off long enough.
There's an issue to address about Growing Pains - There is not going to be a sequel. I'm glad the story is over. I'll write little one shots for it when I get in the mood to, but that's all. I have other stories I want to work on and many ideas running through my head. I just really wanted to get this out because it was going to be the original ending, but being the author, I decided against it. :)
Please review? pretty please?
