BPOV:

I couldn't believe how fast the cruise had gone by. It felt like just yesterday that I had boarded this ship and started the journey of my life and now it was all coming to an end.

I sat out on what had quickly become my favorite spot, the balcony, and thought about how much this cruise had given all of us. Each of us had seen new and amazing places that I could have only dreamed about before coming here. We had each made memories that would stay with us forever but the most important thing far surpassed both of those things. We had all fallen in love. Each person had found someone else who would put up with all of our quirks and still be able to love us. I would forever be thankful for this trip.

"Bella, come put your bags in the hallway!" Alice called from our bedroom. The bags were being piled in the hallway for them to be taken off of the ship for us and it would soon be time to go.

"Don't worry. I've got it, love," Edward called after her. I gladly sat back in my seat and admired the view while I still could.

I watched the setting sun on the shoreline as we pulled closer and closer to land. A

dramatic sigh escaped my lips as my head fell back against the seat and I closed my eyes.

"Almost ready to go?" I heard Edward call from the doorway. I kept my eyes closed while I shook my head 'no.'

"Bella," he cooed as he pulled me up into his arms, "I know how you feel but I can assure you that what awaits us in New York will be just as amazing as this trip." I clung tightly to him as I forced myself to believe those words. I knew that my life with him in New York would be better than I could have ever imagined.

"Come on guys!" Emmett boomed from the hallway. "We're heading out to look around one last time." Edward pulled me toward the door and we met up with all of our friends.

… … …

"I'm going to miss this little boat," Rosalie said quietly. Alice and I looked to her and nodded in agreement. We each had our arms wrapped around our significant others as we walked aimlessly around the ship.

"Look!" Alice squealed as she pointed toward the bar by the pool. Mike was situated at a seat, shamelessly ogling some girl's chest while he talked to her.

"Oh, let's pay him a visit," Emmett suggested as he made his way over to him.

"Mike! My man," he called loudly. Mike looked up annoyed at whoever was interrupting his time with this girl but his annoyed look quickly turned to one of fear. He mumbled something incoherent to the girl and scampered away and out of sight. We all couldn't help but laugh at him.

"Hey, let's do a round while we're here," Jasper suggested. We quickly agreed and ordered our drinks.

"Wait!" Alice called out. "We have to have a toast." She raised her colorful drink in the air. "To friendship." We followed her lead.

"To amazing vacations," Jasper said.

"To love," I said.

"To destiny," Edward called out looking into my eyes.

"To some serious fun!" Rosalie said.

"To landing the hottest girls on the ship!" Emmett called out, earning him a playful smack from Rosalie and a laugh from all of us.

"Here, here!" We all called as we gulped our drinks.

An involuntary pout formed on my lips as the ships horn sounded signaling that we would be docking soon.

"Bella, love," Edward pleaded quietly as he brushed his thumb over my protruded bottom lip, "please don't make that face. It kills me."

"I can't help it," I sighed. "I don't want to forget anything about this trip." He pulled me closely to him.

"Bella, the memories you made on this cruise will last you a lifetime but the ones that we'll make in New York will be even better," he assured me with a squeeze.

We walked around a bit more just soaking up whatever we could of the ship and it's details.

The horn sounded again and I knew we were back in the U.S.

"Time to get moving," Alice called excitedly. Suddenly, I was excited too. I was excited to get out into the real world after college. I was excited for all the adventures New York would bring but mostly I was excited to start my life with Edward.

I squeezed his hand and smiled up at him as we made our way down the ship ramp.

"What? You were going to leave without saying goodbye?" a familiar voice asked from behind us. We spun around and were greeted with a smiling face.

"Tanya!" all three of us girls called out in unison as we made our way to hug her. We all said our goodbyes to our favorite crewmember and exchanged phone numbers, promising to keep in touch.

"Come on," Edward coaxed us, "We have to go or we'll miss our flights." That same pout slipped onto my lips again. We all had separate flights back to New York. It was silly to be sad but I hated being away from Edward for any length of time.

"Bella," he said in a mock warning tone as he noticed my pout.

"Oops," I giggled and smiled up at him.

"That's better," he said satisfied. We quickly made our way into the cab and to the airport, back to our lives.

… … …

"I'll see you in a few hours," he whispered against my lips. It was time for our flight to board at the airport and we were each saying our quick goodbyes.

"Love you," I whispered to him as he pulled me in for a hug.

"Love you too," he replied.

I turned to look at him one more time before Alice, Rose and I boarded our plane. We took our seats next to each other with large grins on our faces.

"So," Alice began, "I was completely right. Again."

"About what?" Rose asked.

"Did we not meet three amazing and gorgeous guys like I predicted on the flight over here?" She questioned looking between us. I laughed loudly.

Alice had been right. We had each met "the one", as corny and clichéd as that sounded.

I knew that I had been made for Edward and he for me. There was no one else who could make me feel as loved or beautiful or as whole as he could.

As uncertain as I had been about this trip yielding anything more than a fun time for me it had turned out to be absolutely beautiful.

I smiled as I realized the beauty of uncertainty.

The End.

a/n: So I have to tell you how much I love that cheesy last line. I was dying to work the title into the story. I actually got the title from a KT Tunstall song, obviously called Beauty of Uncertainty. It's a pretty awesome song, check it out.

Sadly, the cruise is over but their story is far from over. The sequel should be coming very soon. I just want to write out a few chapters of it before I start posting it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You guys were really the inspiration that kept this story alive. Your reviews were beyond amazing! I want to give a special thanks to all the people who reviewed every chapter and who promised to review every chapter of the sequel! You guys are amazing!

Thanks again!
