Author's note is at the end of this chapter :)Epilogue: May 16th, two months after the birth


It's been exactly two months since Renesmee was born.

In that time, everything has completely changed.

I couldn't go back to finish my senior year for obvious reasons. It didn't really matter though, since after I found out I was pregnant, Edward and I took some night courses to make sure we had all of our credits for high school and could graduate even though we wouldn't be in school the last two months.

Renee, my mother, had moved back to Forks with her husband, Phil, to be close to her granddaughter. I hadn't really expected her to do that. I knew how much she loved Florida but I guess she loves me and my daughter more.

I was always extremely tired. Even though I loved Renesmee more than anything, she always seemed to be awake at night and asleep during the day. Edward and I would take turns trying to help her sleep at night, but that just left the both of us exhausted all the time.

Alice brought clothes over every day, literally. I seriously think Renesmee has more clothes then the mall can even hold.

Emmett keeps trying to get Renesmee to like him, but she just cries every time he comes near her. He won't stop trying though.

Charlie loves her so much. The second she looked him in the eyes, he basically melted in her gaze. He'll watch her sometimes when I need some time to just relax, but as soon as she isn't just sleeping in her arms, he passes her off to me and Edward. He says, "Sorry Bells, but this is the reward of being a grandparent. You can marvel at the kid, but as soon as it starts spewing liquids from its mouth and/or butt, you hand it off to the parents." I rolled my eyes at him.

Edward has been a great father so far. He's become an expert at changing diapers. He never gets angry when he has to get up in the middle of the night because she's crying. He almost looks happy to do it. He really does love her.

Right now I was on my way over to Alice's house. We were getting ready for the most important day of our teenage lives. Prom.

When Edward first asked me to go with him, I refused thinking he was absolutely crazy.

One, I didn't think I had the time. I couldn't imagine one second away from my baby. But Esme offered to watch her for the night. She told me that it was a very special night and that I had to go.

Two, I can't dance. I'm the clumsiest person you'll ever meet. Me and dancing don't go together. Edward just laughed and told me that it was 'all in the leading.'

So this is how I ended up at Alice's house being tortured with a curling iron and make-up brushes.

I have to admit that I was really nervous. This was going to be the first time anyone besides my best friends, would see me since I was pregnant. I didn't know what everyone would do when they saw me.

Emmett assured me that if anyone said anything, he'd kick their ass. It had made me laugh at the time, but now I really was worried people were going to say stuff to me.

I just sighed and tried to think about other things.

Soon, Alice had finished and made me put on my dress. It was an electric blue tube top floor length gown that had a wrap around style to it and flared out a little from the waist. She forced me to wear a pair of silver strappy heels even though I tried protesting a hundred times.

Alice had on a black spaghetti strap floor length dress that was tight around her butt, and then flared out almost like a mermaid. She looked gorgeous obviously. She also had on a pair of black strappy heels to match perfectly.

As soon as we were dressed and ready, Rose arrived looking drop-dead gorgeous. She had on a read floor length dress that fit her body perfectly and made every curve of her body look amazing. She had on red kitten heels and they of course made the whole outfit complete.

(A/N-Prom dress pictures are on my profile!)

"I cannot believe we're all going to prom right now! This is so surreal. High school went by so fast! Before we know it, we'll be married and be having kids!" Rose screeched excitingly.

"I already have a kid Rose, remember?" I said.

"Oh, well, yeah of course I remember Bella. You get what I meant…" she said.

All three of us laughed and that's when the door bell rang.

The guys were here.

Alice's mom let them in and we all made our way out of Alice's room.

Rose walked down the stairs first and all you heard was Emmett yelling, "You look hot Rose! The most gorgeous girl in the whole world is my date to senior prom! How lucky can a guy get?"

Alice walked down next and Jasper said, "You look amazing Alice! And Emmett, the most gorgeous girl happens to my date, sorry man."

I walked down next and I could see Edward's eyes basically pop out of his head.

"You look beautiful Bella. And Jazz and Emmett, the most gorgeous girl happens to be accompanying me tonight."

I smiled and Edward pulled me in to kiss him.

"I love you Bella," he said.

"I love you two," I said.

We were brought out of our own little moment when Emmett yelled,

"LET'S GO TO OUR SENIOR PROM! WOOOOO!"

We all laughed and made our way to the limo.

Forty-five minutes later we arrived at a gorgeous hotel. It was huge and you could see limos dropping off people who looked gorgeous.

When we all got out of the limo, we made our way into the hotel. We walked up a set of stairs and were led into a ball room.

It was absolutely beautiful. The theme was "Romantic Destination: New York." There were big signs covering all the walls saying things like "Radio City Music Hall" and "Times Square." There was a huge dance floor raised up off the floor, and it was completely see through with lights underneath. There was a huge screen in the back of the room that was playing a slideshow of the school year. There were a bunch of tables all around the dance floor with black and white table clothes and mini taxi cab candles as centerpieces.

"This is awesome!" Emmett shouted.

"Oh my god, look at Lauren Mallory's dress, slut!" Rose screamed.

"I wish I could really go to New York and shop!" Alice squealed.

"Maybe I'll bring you one day," Jasper said winking at Alice.

"What do you think, love?" Edward asked me.

"It's pretty freakin' amazing," I said.

Edward chuckled.

Right when I was starting to finally relax, Jessica Stanly and Lauren Mallory walked over to us. Rose was right; Lauren looked like such a slut in a green dress that barely covered her ass and plunging v-neck that went to her belly button. This was prom not a strip club for crying out loud. Jessica looked like she had gained some weight. Actually, she looked like she had gained a lot of weight. She was wearing a pink floor length gown that was so tight, it looked like it was going to bust at the seams.

"Well isn't it little miss Prego here at prom! I'm surprised you would even show your face after everything you've been through, you little whore," Lauren said.

Before I could lunge at her and rip her eyes out, Rose said,

"Your one to talk, bitch. This is prom, not a strip-club. You might want to cover up that fat ass of yours before it falls out."

Lauren's jaw dropped and she had no idea what to say. Jessica tried to save her by saying,

"At least some of us girls know when to say no! We can look like sluts all we want as long as we don't blow up like balloons with a baby inside us!"

I was about to lunge at Jessica's throat when Alice said,

"Oh, you're completely right. You just blew up like a balloon and don't have the excuse of being pregnant. What did you eat, a cow?"

All of us burst out laughing while Lauren and Jessica ran away crying.

"You know I could have handled those bitches myself, but thanks anyways guys," I said.

"No problem Bella," Rose said.

"Yeah, don't worry about it Bella. Those two had it coming before they said anything about you. Plus, I think we just saved you from ending up in the back of a police car. You seriously looked like you were about to kill them," Alice said laughing.

"Well I wouldn't have killed them…on purpose…" I said.

Everyone busted out laughing again.

"Come on, let's dance!" Emmett yelled.

He grabbed Rose and Jasper grabbed Alice and led them to the dance floor. Edward grabbed my hand and pulled me to the dance floor too.

"Edward, I really can't dance! I'm gonna end up hurting myself and/or the people around me. This is a safety hazard!" I said panicking.

Edward chuckled. "Don't worry Bella, I've got it all figured out," and with that, he picked me up and placed my feet on top of his. He then started to twirl us around and as much as I didn't want to admit it, I was enjoying myself.

"I'm a mother who feels like a five-year old right now," I said laughing.

"You don't look like a five-year old," Edward said.

I blushed. I changed the subject and said,

"I hope Renesmee's behaving herself. I feel bad making Esme watch her."

"It's fine love. Esme doesn't mind at all. She knew you needed a day off from being supermom and she wanted us to have a good time. Also, she loves our baby so much. I swear she's thinking about keeping her to herself," he said laughing.

"Well she's all ours but I don't mind if she wants to take her every once in a while. A woman needs her sleep," I said.

"Well we have the whole night to ourselves. We can sleep as late as we want," Edward said.

"Oh thank god!" I said.

After a while of dancing, Edward led me out to a beautiful garden behind the hotel. We sat down on a pretty little tree bench swing and I leaned against him. We just swung for a while before Edward out of nowhere said,

"I love you so much Bella."

"I love you too Edward," I said and then turned around to kiss him.

As long as I knew Edward loved me, I knew I'd be able to make it through anything. I was sure of it.


So there it is! I want to thank all my fans who stayed with me through this whole story, you guys seriously are amazing.
