Epilogue

It was hard watching Ella go three days later. He watched her car go and though he'd never admit it, tears escaped his eyes.

Days passed slowly, even slower were the weeks and those slow weeks turned into miserable months and those miserable months turned into four very slow distance-inducing depressing years. The only things that kept him sane were the frequent phone calls and countless letters that Ella sent them.

After Those Four Very Very Very Very Very VERY long years.

"Jacob!" Bella called for what felt like the umpteenth time. She was used to repeating herself, what with a nine year old Shelby and a seven year old Wyatt in the house who pretended not to hear her when she told them to do something. Bella was running around the Black house with her two beautiful children trailing behind her like lost puppies.

Jacob was sitting in the kitchen with Edward and Alice. He was looking at them bewildered. "Bella, I already know you have something to tell me. Everyone has already told me that you have something to tell me so if you could just tell me already we could quit this stupid charade and I could get back to decorating the place for Ella's return!" He huffed. Ella's dog Otis lay at Jacob's feet. Jacob scratched his ear. "Your mommy is coming home." He said, knowing how much the old dog had missed Ella between her holiday visits. Otis perked up when he heard "mommy" and looked around as if looking for her.

Bella sat down. "You know how Alice can see the future?" She asked. Jacob nodded, looking at her as if she'd just asked him if he knew his ABC's. "Well she saw Ella's near future."

Jacob sat up as thought poked with a hot iron when Ella was mentioned. Her future was definitely on his list of things more important than decorating. He realized how that sounded and smiled despite himself and sat forward. "What exactly did Alice see?"

"Hello, wolf boy, I'm over here." Alice said, hating being talked about when she was sitting in the same room. "My visions aren't always set in stone, buddy."

"I know, I know, you've told me this all before. What did you see?" Jacob said impatiently.

"I saw Ella…pregnant with your child." Alice said cautiously.

Jacob's eyes widened. "H-how near?"

"Two months from this day exactly." Alice answered him.

Jacob's draw dropped. "I thought you couldn't see any wolves' future?"

"I can't see you but I can see Ella clearly and your child is completely mortal only a smidgen of wolf is in its blood. So I can see your child clearly as well." Alice explained.

Jacob broke into a wide grin. "Well, your vision could be true. I plan to ask for her hand as soon as she arrives." He pulled out a box from his pocket to reveal a twenty four karat gold ring with three diamonds on the top and little diamonds lining the sides.

He grinned up at everyone. His heart warm now that he knew for a fact that Ella was going to say yes and that within twelve months time they would have a family of their own. He looked at Alice. "You can see the child right?"
Alice nodded. "Clear as day."

"Then is it a boy or a girl?"
Alice shook her head, "Jacob, Jacob, Jacob," She chided. "You should know by now, I don't give away spoilers."
Jacob smiled and shook his head. He looked down at the ring in his hand and he read the inscription one last time knowing how perfect it was.

I will love you perpetually.

THE END

Author's Little Corner

YES! I did it! I finished PERPETUAL LOVE. For those of you who want to throw rancid cabbages at me for the ending please take ten deep breaths and step away from the rancid cabbages you have piled in front of you. THERE IS GOING TO BE A SEQUEL! (That's why Alice said she didn't give away spoilers…come on guys don't you read between the lines?) So please don't throw rancid cabbages at me. Its not nice and my new niece will miss me if you kill me or render me so stinky that I can never visit her again. Everyone who stuck with this story thus far THANK YOU SO MUCH! You all get gold stars. In fact if you give me your email, I'll send you a gold star.

You get a say in the sequel.

Would you rather see Jacob and Ella have:

A baby girl

A baby boy

More than one baby (i.e twins, triplets)

Would you rather see:

Jacob's proposal to Ella as chapter one

Me to skip the proposal entirely and just go right to the wedding

Thank you so much!!!!
