Chapter 20 Epilogue

BPOV — Five years later

"Edward!" I yell and he groans and then mumbles. "Edward!" I yell again slapping his back.

"What?" he mumbles sleepily.

"I think the baby is coming," I say with a gasp, and Edward sits up and just looks at me.

"Like now?" He asks looking at my girly parts.

"No, not this very second, but …" I'm cut off as a pain rips through me. "God, I'd rather be shot," I mumble to myself as I clench my mouth closed to stop myself from screaming.

"Honey?" Edward says placing his hands gently on my tummy. I look to him doing the stupid breathing stuff I was taught, not that it's helping any at all right now.

"Let me get dressed and we'll get you to the hospital," Edward tells me as he starts to pull on his clothes. "You want me to call Dad now, or do it once we get there?"

Turning, I glare at him, but he's already got the cell in his hand knowing full well I want my dad there.

"Charlie, it's time," Edward states and then hangs up just as we get to the car.

The car is one of many changes that have happened over the last five years.

Edward and I stayed with keeping our relationship on a slow build. It was not until Valentine's day that we first had sex. It was amazing, soft, loving; it was just what we both needed.

The night was special for both of us. Edward, of course, made sure to make things as romantic as he could, and honestly, he was trying too hard. He had opened up to me about being unsure about how to share with me what he felt and that he did not want to just fuck me. He had planned it all out, to make sure it was his vision of perfect. There were candles and soft music. Rose petals and a lovely warm bubble bath. Silky sheets and fluffy pillows. Everything was just as wonderful as could be. None of the extra stuff mattered to me, just him and me finally joining as one. He made it perfect, but even without all the pomp and circumstance, it would have been good for me because he's all I've ever dreamed of. Edward made love to me, and we shared our souls with the other. There could never be anything more perfect than it was.

The days that followed were hard, as the media decided to do a one year mark of when Sent From Hell started. I was grateful that my Sergeant, Marcus and Caius all helped keep the News anchors away from the families that had been affected by Jasper.

Before this, Edward and I had many offers from studios, wanting to turn what happened into a film. We turned them all down and eventually they gave up asking. It took until Edward's thirty-fourth birthday for them to leave—not only the town but—us alone.

During this time period, Rose and Emmett got married. Edward and I received an invitation, but it was only for the party afterwards. That was the biggest clue that Rose and her family didn't want us there. It hurt a lot since I was always meant to be her maid-of-honor. However, we did drop in, but only stayed a short time.

It still saddens me that not only did I lose my sister and Jasper, but also my best friend Rose. Edward reminds me, some friends are only for a short visit, but some are lifelong and those are the ones we should be concerning ourselves with.

A year after I started my internship at the station two events happened. First, I was offered a full-time job with the station. Second, and the best of both, Edward asked me to be his wife.

The first person I told was my dad. He was so pleased and happy for us. Life fell quickly into a routine with my dad working with Edward at his shop, and me at the station. It was Halloween, one year after Jasper tried to kill Edward and me that I noticed not only was I spending less time at my home, but so was my dad.

After talking to Edward, we both sat down with my father and all agreed that our home was no longer feeling like a home. It was in the aspect that we had many good memories there, but a lot of sad ones too. Edward suggested that we—he and I—should buy a new home. My father could, if he wished, move into his apartment. Dad loved the idea and this was quickly agreed upon and brought a surprise event.

My dad quickly put our home on the market, and both he and I moved in with Edward. As Edward and I looked for a home, my father started a new friendship with a woman. Mary Cope owns the cake shop and lives in the apartment next to Edward.

I didn't think anything of it until I heard him having a nervously hushed talk with Edward, about what was now the proper way to call on a lady for a date. I found it really sweet that my man was helping my father the way he was. Edward even got a car that my father could drive on his own.

My dad and Mary hit it off and she has become a part of our small family. As time went on, I started to join Edward as he went out helping our local homeless people. It was during these times that some other changes occurred.

Firstly, Edward had come up with a plan, that instead of selling my dad's and my old home, we could rent it out to people who were homeless and needed a new start. The second thing was that I ran into Kelly McAvoy and Mike. It turns out they met during Rose's wedding and have been dating since. I'm not sure if it was the fact they shared the same strong views about sex outside of marriage, or maybe they have more in common, but they seem very happy. They got married only a year after meeting and have three kids each eleven months apart.

"We're here, honey," Edward says bringing me out of my inner thoughts. "Just keep breathing," he says helping me out of the car.

Edward and I were married three years ago. Thankfully we also found a four bedroom house that was twenty minutes from the station and twenty minutes to Edward's shop.

My father and Mary followed us, by getting married, the following year. Mary moved in with my father, choosing to also use her apartment to help homeless people restart their lives. In the three years, our home has been used in that way, we have helped four men, five women and four families.

Mary's apartment has only been used for two years and already she has helped seven homeless people. I'm glad to see that slowly we are doing some good for our community.

~NIGHTMARE~

"Mrs. Masen, you can push now," the doctor says.

With the aid of Edward, I was able to bring our daughter, Serenity Faith Masen into the world.

A/N: So there we have it. They got their HEA and still help out the homeless. A few people were mad at Rose, and we don't think you shouldn't be, however sometimes situations in life make ever the best of friends turn away. In this case we felt Rose blamed herself for not seeing Jasper's sickness and it caused her to seclude herself away from any reminder of that pain. Fact is people do strange things in the face of tragedy and it is not as uncommon as one would assume, for people to seclude themselves away from the ones they should support. Thank you again for reading, reviewing and most of all for your patience.
