Epilogue -2 years later

"Mummy, Mummy," a boy with curly brown hair and sky blue eyes shouted as he jumped out of the car into his mother's arms.

That little boy was in fact two year old Zachery McCarty, as loud and confident as ever; the centre of attention at all times. He smiled his dimpled smile that made all the girls melt, and his mother placed a soft kiss upon his downy head before putting him down on the floor so he could run freely.

On the other side of the car a beautiful, almost elfin child was being lifted out by her Aunt who had accompanied them on this journey. Little Isla was still a beauty with her blonde hair that reached her shoulders, and her big greeny-blue eyes framed by long rows of dark eyelashes. She was quieter than her brother, but had the ability to silence a room when she entered as they all took her breathtaking demeanour in.

"Girls and Zach hurry up or we'll be late," a woman called from the front door of the big house they'd just arrived at.

"Mamie," Zachery shouted once again and took off towards her open arms.

"Oh, my baby boy's getting so big now! And my little Princess Isla," she said remorsefully as they entered the house.

Inside they found Emmett, Alice, Jessica, Carlisle and Esme, along with their cousins Theo, Harry, Rachel, George and Ella all waiting for the four of them to arrive. Upon walking through the threshold Esme swept Isla and Zach up into her arms telling all the children to follow her; leading them towards the kitchen. Rose on the other hand took hold of her grownup daughters' hands and led them upstairs to her bedroom.

"I can't believe this is really happening," Bella said, excited about what was to come.

"At least you can be excited. I feel like I'm about to throw up, and no I'm not pregnant again. Yet," she added as an afterthought.

"Well that's a relief sweetheart, or else I think your father may have actually killed Harry," Rose said, brushing out her daughter's long honey blonde hair.

There was a knock on the door, and with a knowing smile, Rosalie put the brush down, gently kissed her daughter's hair and opened it for the three women to come in. They brought bags and suitcases with them, and whilst Savannah looked merely curious, Bella looked slightly dubious as they did have a time limit.

"So, where is she then?" A tall woman with raven black hair and a pointy beak of a nose asked as she surveyed the room.

"That's my daughter Savannah Karlie in the chair right there," Rose informed her and the women swept over to behind the chair, its occupant cowering slightly.

"You two take care of the others and I will handle this pretty one," she ordered the other two, slightly less overpowering women, before turning to her victim, "Now then, let's see what we can do with you."

Downstairs they were having quite the same sort of confrontation, only there was more noise as Alice wanted to voice her opinion on what look everyone was having. And when it comes to fashion and beauty, no-one disobeys Alice McCarty.

"So the girls are having it simple, and the boys are meant to be with Daddy and Grandpa, so I think they should go there now," she instructed them, as even the beauticians themselves nodded in agreement with the young girl who seemed to have taken charge.

"Alice honey, try to be a bit nicer would you. But, George if you could take Zach through with you that would be very helpful," Esme said trying to ease the petrified looks on all the children's faces.

"Of course Nana, but Karlie did leave me in charge of our look," Alice replied before sitting down and letting the professionals do their work. Not without the occasional interjection of her opinion.

Back upstairs the three women were sat as goodness knows what was done to their faces and hair. Thankfully Rose trusted them as they'd worked for her numerous times before, and the result was always fabulous.

Savannah had endured this prodding and poking numerous times before, so was used to it. Therefore, she took the time to think back over the last three years of her life.

The first few weeks had been hard, as she had to learn her own children's routine from the others. She wanted to do it on her own for a while, but realised pretty quickly that this network of support was vital to getting through the next eighteen years with the two of them. However, it didn't take long before everything fell into a natural order and everyone knew their place and when to suggest something to Savannah. She smiled as she remembered a particular incident of this...

"You do know, that if you walk her up and down the stairs it'll help her colic more than just patting her back," Emmett suggested as he saw his daughter struggling with the screaming baby.

"Thank-you Dad, but I think I know how to stop this as she's my daughter," she angrily retorted.

"Don't get into a state, I was just suggesting it," he replied calmly.

"Well next time, maybe you shouldn't suggest it then," she said and he walked past, stroking Isla's red face as he did so.

After two more minutes of screaming she decided she'd try what her father had suggested, so quickly checking no-one was coming she started making her way upstairs with her daughter. Irritatingly, after a few times the screaming stopped and Isla fell into a light sleep.

"See, I told you so," her dad told her proudly as we walked out of the kitchen.

In response she had stuck out her tongue and gone back upstairs to put her baby into her cot.

"What colour metal are you wearing?" the beautician/hairdresser asked her, breaking her out of her daydreaming.

"Um, silver if that's okay," she replied and slipped off once again, back into her own little world.

"Shoos," Isla announced to the world one bright summer day a few weeks before their first birthday.

"Well we may just have another fashionista in the family," Rose had said kissing Isla's pretty face as she repeated her first word proudly.

It was a few weeks until Zach joined his sister in speaking; however, his first word was 'Dada' which had made Harry's year. Despite being the second to speak, Zachery was the first one to stand up and walk, which marked the start of frequently loosing track of the two of them as they ran merrily through the house, laughing happily to themselves.

Then there was the incident where Zach had run straight into the edge of a plant pot which resulted in what was now referred to as his 'Harry Potter' scar.

Of course there were other scares such as Isla getting lost on their holiday to Greece and having to awkwardly explain to the couple of nudists who had found her that she was their,s whilst Bella tried not laugh or record it to bring out at special events.

After that first perfect year, she'd had to go to university, but was on a special course which meant that she could still see her children enough during the week. They would go up to the office with Rose once a week where everyone doted on them, and she had two days and one afternoon during the week with them (excluding the weekend). Harry had them for another day as he was now a teacher at the school where all the McCarty children had attended. The other half day they went to Esme which she enjoyed thoroughly.

"Miss Savannah, I believe my work here is done."

The bird lady took a step back and Savannah looked up tentatively as a mirror was brought over. When she saw herself she gasped. Even though she'd undergone many transformations for her modelling career, never had they made her look this... natural and pretty.

"It's perfect," she smiled as tears pricked her eyes.

"Now, we won't have any tears or else you'll ruin my masterpiece," the lady said as she too smiled.

"Baby, you look beautiful," Rose exclaimed as she came over. She too looked stunning as did Bella, but it was obvious that all eyes would be on Savannah.

"Right, now we can get dressed and accessorised," Bella said as she joined the duo by the mirror.

Half an hour later Bella and Rose descended the stairs together to see Emmett and all the others waiting.

Emmett walked over to his wife and kissed her lovingly:

"I guess this is it then," he said and she smiled sadly at him.

"I guess it is."

Everyone looked up in awe as Savannah descended down the stairs, and Rose felt herself welling up as she watched her baby come down to them. Zach and Isla were also looking on with open mouths and from her secure place in her grandmother's arms Isla whispered 'Mama pretty.'

"She sure is Princess, but so are you."

All the children got into the limousine waiting outside along with Rose, Esme, Carlisle and Bella. In the vintage car that was there also were Savannah and Emmett. Her with her hand securely fastened in her father's.

"Daddy, I'm so scared," she confided and he smiled at her, lifting the delicate veil up so he could see her face.

"My little angel, my Savannah Karlie Rose McCarty, don't be. Just hold on tight to me and we'll do this together. I will always be there for you, no matter what happens you will always be my little girl and I love you so much. Do you really think I would let you go through with this if I didn't know you and the children would be so happy and content?" he soothed her distraught nerves.

"Thank-you Daddy. Thank-you for everything," she whispered and they sat in a comfortable silence until they pulled up at the beautiful church where all the bridesmaids and pageboys were waiting.

Emmett took her arm as her stomach back flipped nervously when the music that was the cue for the beginning of a new chapter of her life started. Alice and Jessica started off the procession, followed by Theo and Rachel, Harry and George, then lastly Ella with Zach and Bella with Isla. Savannah took a deep breath:

"Daddy just hold me tightly and don't let go until we're there."

"I would never let you go," he promised and placing a gentle kiss on her hand they started walking down the aisle together.

Once at the altar, he looked wistfully into his daughter's eyes before lifting back her veil and kissing her forehead like he had done so many times before. Yet this time it was different. She smiled softly at him as he went to take his seat next to his beautiful wife who was already crying quietly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today..." the vicar went on as Savannah met the eyes of the man stood in front of her. He was the love of her life, and she couldn't wait to be his in the eyes of the law. Behind her she knew their two beautiful children sat with her parents and she realised in that moment what a lucky girl she was. She'd come from nothing and now had everything a girl could ever wish for. Her life was complete. Well it would be after the 'I do' that would come out of her mouth.

"Harry, do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?"

"I do."

"Savannah Karlie Rose do you take this man to be your lawful wedded husband?"

"Of course I do."

"Well then, I pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."

As everyone started clapping she felt his lips melt into hers. Here goes forever...

It's the end. I'm so, so, so sorry this took that long to finish but school, swimming and exams just swallow up any time I have. I really hope you've enjoyed reading this as much as I've enjoyed writing it, and if you add me to author alert I will write another story (when I have time), but this is definitely the end of Savannah and Bella's story. Happy belated New Year and I hope once again that you enjoyed this. Thank-you, XxX
