The End…

I had no idea why I was doing this, walking down the hall at the hospital but I guess I was following my heart, or maybe it was just my gut.

I walked and walked till I came to a window. A man was standing there, with his back to me. He didn't move as I walked up to him and stopped. I looked into the window and just stared.

The man who had broken into our house was lying on the other side of the glass. It looked as if he was in a coma, and he was hocked up to so many machines.

"He's my cousin," the man next to me said and turned to look at him.

"Jacob," I gasped, tears springing to my eyes.

"I'm sorry, I need to correct myself," he suddenly said and I looked at him in confusion. "He was my cousin." I turned to look at the man in coma again but this time a whole team of doctors were in the room with him, trying to save him.

"He was my cousin until you killed him."

I was crying now, tears streaming down my cheeks.

"I never meant for this to happen, Jacob, I swear!" when I turned to him, he was gone and I was looking through a new window, this time looking at rows on rows with cribs, someo of them holding a baby.

I scanned through them all, hoping that my eyes would catch something familiar, like green eyes, brown eyes, reddish hair.

I found no such baby.

I was about to turn away when a cry came from one of the babies and I turned back to see who it was.

Baby girl Cullen

Baby girl Cullen, that's all it stood but I knew it was mine, it was my little girl.

On her head was thick brown hair with a small hint of red in it but I couldn't see her eyes.

"Is she yours?" I turned to see a woman dressed in the same as me; a hospital gown and a robe.

"Yes," I answered her dreamily.

"Where's your husband?"

"He's…" I paused. "I don't know…"

Suddenly she was gone too and all there was left was an empty hallway and in the end I could see Edward, holding something in his arms.

"Edward?" I called and he waved at me.

I started to run towards him but my abdomen hurt when I did it so I slowed down till I was walking but he didn't come closer. It seemed as if he only got further and further away but then I heard my baby cry. It was close and when I turned to look, he was behind me, holding our little girl in his arms.

I was lying in a bed, looking at him, smiling but when I opened my mouth to tell him I loved him, he cut me off.

"Wake up Bella," he whispered and I looked at him in confusion. "I love you Bella, so much, please wake up."

"I am awake Edward," I answered him but he didn't listen.

"Bella, just wake up, for our little girls sake; she needs you." Then he was gone, he and my little girl, replaced by nothing but whiteness.

~O~O~O

"Shhh," I coed, rocking her back and forth in my arms. "Daddy's here," I whispered as her cries died down.

I was here and I would never leave her, ever. I would die for her, do anything for her; I loved here so much that it hurt, it hurt to look at her, her brown hair and her one brown eye.

Her cries died down, the only sound coming from her was a soft hum now and then.

As I closed the door behind me, the baby call in my hands, I glanced down where our bedroom was. Sighing, I crossed the hall and went to the guestroom instead, falling down on the bed without taking my clothes off.

Tomorrow was going to be hard.

~O~O~O

"Age is just a number they say. I used to disagree with them. It was nine years between us but I didn't care. Nothing mattered when she was around, nothing but her."

"She wasn't long in my life, none of our lives, but no one has ever done such an impact on me as she did. We had our misunderstandings and she hated me to being with. I guess that it's kind of a shock for some of you but yes, she hated me in the beginning. But I loved her from the moment I laid my eyes on her and I told her so again and again." I took a deep breath, closed my eyes and all our good times flashed before me.

"I knew everything about her but she kept surprising me with this little things, like the first time she said she loved me, a simple gesture now and then to show her affection in her own way or simply just by being herself."

"We will miss her, more than anything, and I still need her, we need her. I can't even cook," some laughed, awkwardly. "She knew how to make a man happy when it came to food and you didn't even have to ask her to make something; she loved to cook and on several occasions, she could appear in front of me with a sandwich, cookies, oh, I'm going to miss those…" I couldn't take it any longer.

"I didn't treat her right," my mother started. "I was so glad that my son had found someone, even though she was so young, younger than I perhaps would like, and she seemed like such a nice girl, with a heart of gold. I got carried away when we were asked to help with the wedding. Suddenly, she was just a child in my eyes, a child that didn't know what she wanted. I ruined her wedding," mother sighed. "I ruined what would be the best day of her life and I never said sorry. I am a poor excuse of a mother in law. Instead of doing what was right, I hurt that little girl more deeply than I can bear. I loved her like daughter from the moment I met her and saw how sweet she was, how she would change Edward, and I never told." My mother broke down and father helped her down.

Next was Alice.

"She was my best friend, she always was, and she always will be. When I left her back in New York, for love, things just slipped away. She had met Jasper but I never called, only an email now and then, telling her how happy I was. Not once did I tell her about the rest of my family, not once did I ask her how she was and not once did I visit her." Alice cried. "I owe her so much," she whispered.

Next was Rose and Em.

"We barely got know her but I saw what difference she did with Edward. She did more in this short time than anyone of us was able to do; she gave him life back. Edward has always been an asshole, sorry for my language, but finally he grew softer, all thanks to that little squirt that suddenly showed up in our lives."

"I didn't get to know her well but she sure was something, Alice told me so time and time again," Jasper said. "Never in the time I've know my little Alice, I have never seen someone mean so much for her, she even out-ranks me."

It was my turn again and with my little girl in my arms, I stood at the podium and with my back to every, I kneeled down.

"Bella, you've made me the happiest man that have ever walked this earth," I hugged my little girl closer. "We will need you, always, but we will get through this. I love you and so does our little daughter. I promise you that, she will always know who her mother is and how much I loved her and always will.

~O~O~O

Four years later

"What is it sweetheart?" I kneeled in front of her.

"They pick on me," she mumbled.

"What did they do, sweetheart?"

"They say my name is stupid," she crossed her arms and pouted like the four year old she was, just like her mother.

"Have I told you that you look so much like your mommy when you pout like that?" I whispered, stroking her cheek.

She shook her head and I sat down on the couch, bringing her into my arms.

"You do and in fact, you are named after her, and her mommy, your grandmother," I explained for her, leaning back in the couch so she could curl up. "What's your name, sweetheart?"

"Annabell Marie Isabella Cullen."

"That's correct," I hugged close. "And what do we, your family, call you?"

"Little swan," she mumbled, burying her face in the crock of my neck.

"Yes, little swan. Before mommy married daddy, her name was Swan, not Cullen, therefor, you are called little swan because you look so much alike her. Mommy's name was Isabella Marie, just like your name, and her mother was called Renée Annabell Swan."

"Just like me," she mumbled.

"Yes, sweetheart. Now, it's time for bed," there was no protest as I lifted her up and carried her to bed.

~O~O~O

"Daddy?" my little girl were pocking her eggs, a pout plastered on her face.

"Yes sweetheart?"

"Can we see mommy today?" she looked up at me with sad eyes.

"Of course, sweetheart, of course we can," I smiled at her.

"Will aunty and uncle come too?"

"Of course they will."

"Ma and pa too?"

"Everyone will be there, sweetheart, I promise."

~O~O~O

"Miss you mommy," little swan whispered, laying her flower down. Kissing the tips of her fingers, she touched her cheek, then lips.

"Come one, sweetheart, I think daddy want to be alone with mommy," my mother and father took my little swan with them, my brothers and sisters following them.

"We really do miss, my love," I whispered, sitting down in front of her. "Little swan is being teased because of her name but I explained to her that her name was beautiful. She's so smart, Bella, taking after you," I cried. "I know it's gone four years but it can take a hundred years before I will forget you, it will take forever."

"Daddy!" little swan cried, running to me with an ice cone in her hand, a smile on her lips.

"What is it, sweetheart?" I asked, dabbing my cheeks with a hanky.

"Did mommy like ice cleam?" she asked, dropping the 'r' in cream.

"She did, sweetheart."

"What kind?" she asked, sitting down in my lap, licking her own ice cream.

"Chocolate, just like you."

"Good," she stated, licking her ice cream again and again.

"Can I have some?" I asked her and she nodded. As she brought it closer to my mouth, she smeared it on my chin.

"Oh you little," she squealed and jumped from my lap and ran to hide behind a tree. Laughing, I chased her till she dropped her ice cream. She cried but I bought her a new one, a bigger one and her smile grew back on her face.

Isabella Marie Cullen, born Swan, died giving birth to her daughter, Annabell Marie Isabella Cullen aka Little Swan. Edward never forgot her, he never stopped loving her and even though he was out on several dates, he never found a new one. His family, and Jacob and Sam, moved to Forks when Edward couldn't move back to Everett, leave the house Bella had loved so much. They helped him with little swan and she grew up to be just as beautiful as her mother, and just as smart. With her one brown eye and one mixed, she was Edward's little diamond, his little gemstone and he did everything he could for her, spoiling her rotten. She was never affected by it and grew up to be headstrong and down to earth.
