The final chapter of Spooked *sniff*. Enjoy.


Epilogue

I sighed as Emmett collected the last of my boxes and headed downstairs to help load the car.

I stood in the middle of the T.V. room gazing wistfully at the bare walls and the empty bed. Oh, if these walls could talk.

It was three years ago today that I first met Edward Cullen in this room and I let the memories invade.

Our girly screams of terror as Rose, Alice and I stared at the T.V. and Haley Joel Osment whispering, "I see dead people." To this day Alice still refused to watch the movie.

The Ouija board – the ghostly chuckle, a warm presence and then the blowing out of the candle.

My drunken determination to find answers when the face of a man appeared, "Never did like candles. Nasty fire hazard."

I shook my head with a laugh.

Sparkling green eyes as they willed me to help him and my promise.

A lot had happened in this room, Edward and I even uh…did the deed, as it were, in this room. Guess it just seemed right.

So much had happened since the day we first met. For starters, Edward and I went on our first date. It was a film viewing in an old cemetery where everyone sat on the grass cuddled up together with loved ones under a blanket. The movie was Sixth Sense. It was perfect.

Also, all my hard work and effort had paid off. I was graduating today, I had finished my degree and I was about to head on out into the world. Well, head on out into the world then straight into HarperCollins Publishing. My Professor knew somebody who worked there and told him he was a fool if he didn't hire me.

I could not wait.

Another thing that was absolutely huge, Edward bought the old beautiful abandoned house. Despite the fire and everything that had happened there it didn't affect his dream of one day buying it and doing it up.

Then he asked me to move in with him.

It had taken an hour for Rose and Alice to hear past my screeching and understand why I was so excited. Alice demanded that I let her put her interior design skills to good use and Edward and I limited her to the bathroom and spare bedroom. The rest was ours to do.

Emmett and Rose got married. It shocked us all. They went on holiday to Vegas and came back bound to each other for eternity.

Alice was pissed to say the least. But once she got over her tantrum of not being there and her very real tears over the fact that Rose hadn't even worn a "proper" wedding dress, she was able to see that this was what Rose and Emmett had wanted and she was happy for our friends, just like the rest of us.

We never did tell our friends or Edward's parents about how we really met. Despite their whole involvement with Casper, much against Alice's wishes, we decided to keep it to ourselves. And I really hadn't wanted Edward's parents to think I was crazy. Esme still told everyone the story of how she met me and all about my little threat, at parties and family get togethers so I thought it best to keep how Edward and I really met on the down-low, I didn't need the rest of Edward's family thinking I was totally insane even if Esme and Carlisle did believe us. It was our little secret and we liked it that way.

Yeah, a lot had happened.

"Knock, knock," came the voice that was music to my ears.

I turned with a small smile and there he was. My own Greek god. I giggled as I remembered how that was one of my first thoughts of him, despite the fact that he was a ghost and had been haunting me for some time.

He gave a crooked smile as he moved to wrap his arms around me. I snuggled my back against his chest and he kissed the top of my head.

"What are you laughing at?" He murmured, bemused.

"Memories," I smiled, "Just, lots of different memories."

"Good ones, I hope?"

I nodded, "Very, very good."

"We met in this room," He whispered softly.

"We did," I grinned.

He turned me by my shoulders and gently led me backwards till I was sat on the bed, him kneeling in front of me clasping my hands in his.

"And I asked for your help just like this." He beamed.

I smiled back then frowned a little as he ducked his head.

"Edward?" I wondered.

He looked up at me and I saw fierce determination in his eyes.

"It seems only right to ask another thing of you in the same way I did the first time, here, in this room, where we met." He breathed. "I was going to wait until later for dinner at the restaurant after your graduation but, that is ever so cliché and this sort of seems perfect."

I held my breath. Was he? No. He wouldn't. Would he?

And he pulled out a little black box from his pocket and held it in front of me.

"I know, technically, we haven't moved in together yet, despite our buying the house and the guys downstairs waiting for us now, but living with me and discovering all my annoying habits after you answer this question might help me out a little." He grinned sheepishly. "And, for all we know there could be another ghost in that house and it would be really good to have this ring on your finger before you start on your ghost whispering skills, just in case it asks for your help as I did." He winked.

Then he opened the box. My hand flew to my mouth. It was a platinum band holding a diamond in the centre and two smaller diamonds either side. Absolutely stunning.

"Bella Swan," Edward whispered. I looked up at him through the tears in my eyes, "Would you do me the incredible honour of becoming my wife?"

"Yes," I breathed half laughing half crying, I wasn't sure which I wanted to do more. Edward slipped the ring onto my finger, beaming the entire time and then I flung my arms around his neck crying, "Yes! Yes! A million times yes! Of course I'll be your wife, of course I will."

We could hear our friends whooping and cheering all the way downstairs.

Edward lifted me, spinning me around before setting me down and taking my face in his hands, kissing me all over before his lips pressed to mine.

"I love you, my ghost whisperer." He chuckled.

I giggled, "I love you too, Casper."

It was with heavy hearts that we said goodbye to the room that brought us together. We never did find out why it was only I who could hear and see Edward when he was ghost but I think deep down we both knew it was because we were destined to be together. Edward had scoffed when I mentioned destiny but I knew after everything we had been through that we both believed almost anything was possible. And it was with that thought that we turned and left the room that had been a significant part of our story, closed the door to that chapter of our lives and began a new one.

I giggled suddenly.

"What's so funny?" Edward asked.

"Nothing," I murmured, "Just realised that Alice isn't always right."
