CPOV

I looked over at my wife with a look of discontent. I could not really understand why Edward would want to talk to all of Bella's parents. I guess maybe since we are all in the same area it would be nice for him to talk to all of us at once. He has spoken to me and Sue more the though.

I really respected Edward. I did not like the boy at first. I mean when Bella told me she was going out with a boy, I was mad. I did not want my little girl going out with any boy who I did not approve of, which was Jake. So I was a little rough of the kid at first. After I got to now him I knew he was a good guy.

Then after I found out about the Jake stuff and he was there for her and had been I respected the kid a lot more. When he stood up to his own father I loved the kid. Then when he was there for me when I had a little mental break down, I thought of him as a son. I did not mind Bella being with him anymore, she was always a good judge of character. I would trust her in choices from now on.

Edward was dressed nice when he walked into my living room to talk to the four adults. He was also sweating bullets. I felt bad for the kid. I could not understand what would make him freak out like this. Then I thought he might be leaving me little girl, that this was too much for him. If this was true I would kill the boy with my bare hands, she would not be able to deal with that.

"OK so I know it seems weird me asking to see all four of you," Edward started, "But this is not a bad thing."

I looked over to my ex wife Renee who looks completely calm. Normally she would be worrying her self sick in a situation like this. I could not understand how she could be so completely cool. I wanted to ask her why she was so calm but Edward was talking again.

"I want to marry Bella. I do not want to do it right now. Since we are both seventeen and still in high school. I would never make her do it right now. I just want to know that she is going to be with me for the rest of my life. I love her more then I have ever loved any person on this earth, including my parents. She has been the best thing that has ever happened to me in my sad life. I know I am here more or less to ask Charlie since that is the traditional way to do this, but I would like to hear everyone's opinion."

I looked back to Renee who was smiling. SMILING! This was asking us if it was OK if he stole my little girl from me. How could he even think about something like that? Was he mad? They are children. I mean they are not even old enough to vote and he wants to get married.

"Charlie calm yourself. He does not want to get married now. All he wants to do is ask her. Bella is a smart girl. She would never jump into something with out thinking about it," Sue whispered to me.

"I am going to step out so everyone can discuss this, I know this is a lot to think about," Edward told us and left the room. No one spoke until we heard the front door close.

"No!" I said.

"I have to agree with Charlie on this, the kids are too young to even think about that," Phil said. I never really got to talk to Phil. He was young, probably too young for Renee but I guess if it makes her happy then whatever.

"They have been through a lot. They know how they feel. I mean you can not mess with true love. Plus if Edward wants to ask her to marry him, he can always do it once they turn 18, then they may just run away and we might not see them again," Sue said logically.

"Still they are children, they should not be thinking about marriage," I said.

Finally Renee spoke up and she was giggling, "Charlie since when as Bella ever been a child? When she was born I swear she was 30. I mean think about it. From the time she was a baby, she was never fussy. We were able to sleep threw the whole night. She only fussed when she needed food or her diaper changed. She was potty trained by 2 and a half. Bella was about to balance a check book when she was 7. She was cooking when she was 10. Charlie Bella has never been a child. She was a little adult by the time she was born."

"Well what about Edward he is a child," I shot back.

"He has been threw hell. The boy has been out casted and beat by his family. He is also wise beyond his years. Plus you heard him, they are not going to rush out and get married. They are going to wait until high school is done. Maybe we can even hope till after college, but once Bella is 18, this decision is out of our hand. Give him your blessing because he is getting mine and Phil's," Renee said.

"I am not sure about mine," Phil dared to say.

"If you do not agree with me then do not plan on sharing the same bed until after little Phil is born." Phil nodded in agreement immediately.

"I am with Renee, he is getting my vote too Charlie," Sue told me.

"Fine," I mumbled to myself.

I sat in the chair and brewed. I was pissed. I did not want to let me little girl go, I had just gotten her. I mean sure I had her over the summer, but it was nice to have her here all the time. I missed her so much when she was gone. I was going to have to outline some things with Edward.

Edward came back in five minutes later. He was good at estimating how long it was going to take the women to win. That is when he got us all there. He knew I would say not, but all of the women would gang up on me because they are romantic and all.

"So?" he asked very nervous.

"There are guild lines," I said to him.

I saw him breath out a giant breath of air. He was relieved that this was a yes, "Of coarse Charlie, whatever you want."

"You can ask her whenever you want, but there is no wedding or even mention of wedding plans until after graduation day. I want Bella to also be enrolled in college before there is talk of a wedding. When you get married I do not want to be left out. You two will have to visit. I am not happy about you taking my little girl away from me, but I know you are a good man," I told the boy.

I felt Sue place her hand on top of mine. I was not happy about this choice, but I was willing to accept this. He was a good boy and he was going to take care of Bella.

"Oh, Edward, if you hurt her, I will kill you myself."

He smiled at me and nodded, "I would hope you would."

JPOV

Well prison sucks, a lot. I mean I had only been here a month, but I already knew how crappy this was. I did not think that I was going to win. I knew what I did and I did feel bad about it. I wanted to plead guilty and let the judicial system have their way with me. My parents would not let it happen that way though, especially my mother. She kept on telling me that this was not my fault.

I was told that I had a visitor. I should not have any today. My mother and father came to visit yesterday; they normally came once a week. I was excited, hoping that it was my scum bag lawyer. I did not like him at all. He was so nasty to those girls that I had already hurt so much. The guard told me what window number so I walked over.

When I saw the girl sitting there I just stood there. He long dark brown hair was pulled back. Her chocolate brown eyes stared deep into me. He pale skin looked sick with the horrible lighting in here. This was Bella, my Bella. The girl that I loved more then anything in the world, the girl who I had hurt so much over the past year.

I sat down and picked up the phone that was already at her ear. I tried to smile at the girl. She looked so confused and sad. I spoke first, "Hey Bells."

"Hi," she whispered.

"How are things on the outside," I joked.

She giggled lightly but stopped. That is when I noticed her hand. She had a large rock on it. She saw me looking at the ring and pulled her hand down

"I am here to forgive you," she told me.

"Bella please don't. Since I have been in here, I have been thinking, a lot. What I did Bella was bad, horrible, and the worst thing I could have ever done. I do not want you to forgive me."

"Jacob, please, don't say that. Yes what you did was all of those things, but you still deserved to be forgiven, at least by one of us. I can not move on with my life unless I can forgive you Jacob."

"Well I thank you Bella. And I am sorry and I will tell you how sorry I am every time I see you for the rest of my life."

"Well thank you very much Jacob… I miss you…" she said as her voice trailed off. She was killing me. I wanted nothing more then to go back in time. I would have never done that to her if I got to do this all over again.

"Yeah I miss you too Bells."

I saw a few tears fall down her face. I reached my hand over to whip them away and then remember there is a glass there. I just left my hand on the glass. She whipped her own tears away and placed her hand on the glass too. "When I told them that I loved you, I was telling the truth."

"I know you did Bells. I love you too."

"I wish things did not have to be like this. I wish you had never done this to me."

"Bella, if I could go back in time, I would. Bella I would do anything to make all of this better."

"Is it bad in there?" Bella asked me.

"No. It is not that bad at all. I mean this area in Washington we do not get too many crazy criminals. Its not like what you see on OZ."

She giggled. It kind of felt like old times. Making jokes and me hearing her laugh. I loved to make her laugh, the sound always made my heart skip a beat.

"Would you mind if I came back?" Bella asked a little scared.

"No Bella, it would make my day."

"How long are you in there?"

"Five years then I get my first parole hearing."

"WOW."

"Its not that bad Bella. So are you going to tell me about the ring?"

"It's from Edward, we are engaged," she said and her face blushed.

"Hey Bella, that's wonderful. He seems like a great guy. I am glad for you."

"Are you really?" she asked.

"Yes Bella why wouldn't I?"

She smiled at me. She smile was like the sun. It made me feel hope. While I was in here I would look forward to hearing from Bella. "You can write me if you want."

"OK. This is a little bit of a ride."

"Just ask the guard when you are leaving and he will give it to you."

"OK good Jake. Listen I am not going to be around. I am leaving tomorrow to go see my mom in Florida. She wants me around for the baby shower and the birth of my new little brother. I will visit you when I come back."

"OK Bella sounds great. I will miss you and I am really sorry again."

"Bye Jake," she told me and hung up the phone. She gave me one last smile and was gone.

She was a better person then I would ever be. She was such a good person. She was willing to forgive and talk to the person who had messed up her life so much. I had done so many bad things to her over the year. Not only did I rape her, but I also broke her arm, made her feel bad about what I did, and scared her. I was a bad person.

I was taken back to my cell to sit and think. I wanted to make it up to not only Bella, but to Mel, Gina, and poor little Megan. I regretted Megan the most. She was so young and vulnerable. I knew that was wrong before I started. I just could not seem to control myself.

I deserved to be here. I would serve my sentence with out a peep. I would not try for a retrial or anything. I was a bad person who deserved to be here. I lay back on my hard cot and though about my future. Maybe I will take classes in here; I know a lot of people do that in here. I can be a good person, and I will work on doing that.

BPOV

I know it was not the best idea to go and see Jacob. I just knew that if I did not talk to him after all of this I would not be able to fully move on with Edward. I mean yes I told him I would marry him but I would not feel right unless I talked to Jake. He seemed to feel about all of this, but I also would if I where him, being in prison and all. As I walked to Edward's car I smiled when I saw him.

I am glad that he understood why I had to do this. A lot of people would have thought I was crazy. He knew that there was a lot of history there that needed to be closed. When I opened the door and sat down Edward just wrapped his arms around me. I smiled into his chest and let the feeling of love overtake me.

I was beyond excited to be getting married to this man. I knew what my father's rules where and I had no intention of ever breaking them. I knew that I had to graduate from school before I was ever able to do anything on the marriage front.

"Are you ready for your flight?" Edward asked me.

I frowned. I hated that he was not going to be with me the whole time. Edward promised that he would be down to see me in two weeks. I was going to be with my mother until little Phil was born. She was due in August and it was now the end of June. Edward wanted my mother and I to have some time a lot. He was a good man. I was excited to spend the rest of my life with him.

"Yep, lets go I am gonna miss my flight."

"Don't worry Mrs. Masen you are not going to miss your flight."

"I am not Mrs. Masen yet, we still have a whole year in front of us."

"I know I just love to say that. I love to hear it being addressed to you."

"So how much are you going to miss me?"

"More then you ever will know Beauty."

"I am going to miss you too, but I will always have you nice and close," I said holding my locket that was around my neck.

"I never thought you would like that present so much."

"It is my favorite thing that I own, if I where to ever loose this I would feel like shit."

Edward smiled his trade mark smile and we drove to the airport. Edward was explaining to me what he was going to be doing while he was staying at home. His mother was going to be opening up another two restaurants in the area and wanted to make sure everything was perfect for her. He knew this was the first time she would be doing this on her own.

When we got to the airport Edward took my bags out of the car for me. I knew not too bring too much since my mother would be taking me out shopping for my Florida wardrobe to keep there. So I just had one small carry on bag.

"I will call you when I land."

"I will be counting down the second until I get that call."

"So only two week right?" I asked.

"About. It might be three but I will be there as soon as I can. You are going to have a lot of fun with your mother, do not worry."

I signed and gave him the hug that would last two week. I gave him his final kiss and smiled. I walked to the sliding glass doors and waved goodbye to the person I love the most. He smiled at me and got into his car.

I was right about just making the flight. I had to run to my terminal. I sat down in my seat and held my locket close to me. I was already missing him and it had only been a half an hour. Sitting next to me was a little child who was flying all by herself. I smiled to the little girl and she smiled back at me.

"Are you scared to fly?" the little girl asked me.

"No, if this you first time flying honey?"

"Yes. I am going to see my daddy who I have not seen in a year."

"Well that is very nice. I am going to see my mommy. What is your name honey?"

"Vanessa, but my mommy calls me Neisse."

I smiled at the little girl and gave her my hand to shake, "I am Bella and I will make sure that you are OK during the flight."

She smiled at me and went back to looking out the window. I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep. It was going to be a long flight to the Orlando airport. I heard Neisse start to snore next to me so I knew that she was going to be quite during the flight.

RPOV

I was in the hospital bed screaming. How could I have ever agreed to do this again? I must have been drunk when I let Phil talk me into having another child. Bella was enough for me and now I remember why. The pain of child birth was unbelievable. Phil was at my side holding me hand and so was Bella. Edward was next to Bella who looked like she was going to pass out.

Little Phil was about a month early. I guess he wanted to come out and meet his sister. He would always kick when he heard Bella's voice. I knew that must have meant something. It is amazing how much children learn while they are in the womb.

I felt another contraction coming on. I let out another scream and held Phil's hand even tighter. This was all that he was getting, a little boy. I was not going to go threw this hell again. Plus since I am older they make me go to the doctor more.

"OK Renee you are ten centimeters, lets take your into the delivery room," I heard he nurse say.

"Oh Mom, good luck!" I heard my daughter say. I gave her a weak smile and saw her move away from me. Phil was following me as I was being taken into another room close by. He was putting on those horrible green scrubs. He was missing a game today. I told him he should go and play, but he laughed at me.

"OK Renee its time to push cause your son is ready to meet you," the doctor told me.

I started to push and scream at the same time. I had never felt a hurt like this. I wish I had gotten the epidural now. If I was not such a hippie I would have agreed to it. God damn me!

"PUSH," the doctor ordered.

Again I pushed with all of my might. It hurt so much. I did not want to do this anymore. Maybe they could just go in and take him out.

"OK we are almost done his head is out. Please just one more really big push."

"I really can't. I am too tiered. Just pull it out."

"Renee you push and you push now!" the doctor ordered.

Well he had really crappy bed side manner. So I pushed. I pushed with all of the strength that I had inside of me. I screamed as I felt my little boy slip out side of me. I laid my head back panting covered in sweat. Then I heard his little voice. I heard the loud wails of my beautiful baby boy.

"Where's my son?"

"Right here," the doctors told me and the placed the little boy into my arms. I smiled down at the face. He was perfect. Now I remembered why I had wanted another one. I kissed the baby's forehead and handed him back to the nurse. I laid my head back on the bed and slowly fell back asleep. My little Phillip Alec.

It was the first day back to school. I had a wonderful summer with my mother in Florida. My brother Phil was amazing. He was so cute and sweet. I was getting excited about Sue's up and coming pregnancy. She was due at the start of December. She was getting HUGE since she was having twins.

I pulled into the parking lot with Edward to see all of my friends there. I smiled at all of them. I jumped out of the car before it was in park to go and give Rose and Alice a hug. I had not seen them since June. I missed them so much.

"BELLA!" they both screamed.

"We are seniors!" I heard Rose cheer while she hugged me.

"I know. This is going to be a great year!" Alice said.

"Nothing is going to make this year bad, nothing at all," I said. This is what I deserved. I deserved my happy ending. I had been threw enough last year. I did not deserve to go threw anything more. I was going to get my happy ending.

I ran back to Edward who was walking to me and kissed him. My soon to be husband. We where going to get married over the summer. I did not want to have to wait another day longer then I had to, to be his wife. Edward held me closer and kissed me deeper, everything was going to be perfect now.

--------------------------------------That Summer-----------------------------------------------------

BPOV

I was in Alice's room freaking out. It was the day of my wedding. The Cullen's where letting us use their house. They had a lovely backyard that Alice had decorated. It was a small wedding. Edward and I had very small families so we did not have a lot of people to invite. There was maybe 50 people total. It was what we both wanted though. Alice and Rose where my bridesmaids and Emmett and Jasper where Edward's grooms men.

I looked in the mirror and realized how beautiful I looked. My dress was a simple where Acute strapless dress. There was beading under the chest and it opened up in the back with beading. My hair was in a cute up-do and I had a little bit of make-up on to just accent my facial features.

"Ready?" Alice asked.

"Not really, but lets do this."

I opened the door and my father was standing there in his tux looking as handsome as ever. I smiled at him and I saw his eyes glass over. I gave him a hug an whispered, "I love you Daddy."

"Bells, I love you too," he said and hugged me tighter.

"Please don't let me fall," I asked him.

He intertwined his arm in mine and pulled me close, "Do not worry, you will be fine sweetheart."

The music started and I started to I got read to walk to the man that I loved. Alice and Rose walked forward with their men. When they got to the front I looked at me father, gave him a kiss and took my first steps forward.

When I first got to see Edward at the end of the ales waiting for me I was filled with excitement. I was really doing this. I was going to be getting married to the man that I loved and who saved me. I made my slow steps to Edward. When I finally reached him my father placed my hand in his. He leaned in and kissed me and said, "I love you so much Bells and you will always be my little girl."

Then Charlie shook Edward hand and pulled him in to say, "Like I said before if you hurt her I will kill you." Edward and I both smiled and my father went to sit between Renee and Sue.

I looked out at m family before the ceremony started. This was the beginning to the rest of my life. I smiled remembered everything that had happened in the first part of my life. My childhood and teen years. I was now an adult and getting ready to go away to college with my husband, Edward. The priest started and I looked back front, with tears in my eyes

THE END

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/N: OK yeah I know. I was not planning on ending it, but it just kind of ended up that way. So no sequel to this story. I am getting ready to write another one. It is Bella and Edward meeting in college. I have been working on this one in my mind for a long time, so I am excited about it. I started to write it the other day. I knew that I had to finish this one before I started another one. Well I hope everyone enjoyed this story I loved writing it!

P.S. New story is going to be called War and Peace, look for it, it should be up in a day.
