AN: Again, thank you all for the reviews!...Okay, so...(takes deep breath)...this is the last chapter. I know I said I'd do more, but I wrote this and I realized that this was the ending. It was at such a loss about what to write about in this chapter...Hopefully I didn't give you all the worst ending ever...Fingers crossed that you all at least semi-liked it! Anyways, read. enjoy(hopefully). review!

Oh p.s. there's some M rated material in this chapter! Just a heads up!

Jacob and Quinn walked back to the clearing together, the smell of ash and smoke filling their noses. Once they made it to the break in the trees, they were met with the sight of everyone, tired and worn, throwing left over pieces of the Volturi into the multiple fires that had been built. Quinn let out a huge sigh of relief upon seeing her family alive. She immediately ran up to Bella, who was the closest to her, and gave her a big hug before continuing with the rest of her family.

"Well that was fun." Tanya said with a triumphant smile as everyone regrouped.

"It's nice to know that they won't ever be able to harm anyone again." Kate reaffirmed, her gaze drifting over to Garrett.

"Only question is, what are we going to do now that they're destroyed? We can't not have rulers to enforce the rules. Our kind cannot be free to do whatever they please without retribution." Liam stated.

Zafrina cleared her throat, "Carlisle, I think it is you that should become the leader of the new Volturi." Carlisle seemed a little shocked at her suggestion.

Eleazar nodded, "She is right, you would be the perfect leader of the new Volturi."

"As much as I appreciate your faith in me, I'm afraid that I-"

"Carlisle," Edward spoke up. Carlisle looked to him. "You should do it, you could choose new members, ones that will do their jobs properly."

"If you were to head the Volturi, I would consider re-joining." Eleazar said.

"I do not want to be the sole leader of the Volturi. If anything I believe that we all should be apart of this," Carlisle said, referring to the other Coven leaders. They all seemed to nod in agreement.

"But one of us would have to reside in Volterra, would we not?" Siobhan asked.

Tanya raised her hand, "We'll volunteer. I mean hello, Italian men everywhere! Besides I've always wanted to live in a castle."

"Jee, thanks for talking to us first, Tanya." Kate muttered with a roll of her eyes.

"I wouldn't mind it." Carmen said.

Eleazar agreed, "Neither would I."

"How about we continue this conversation back at the house? It's about to rain soon." Alice suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement before heading back to the Cullen house.

While Carlisle, Esme, and the other covens deliberated over what was going to happen with the new Volturi, Quinn and Jacob headed towards the kitchen, followed by Alice. Jacob walked over to the refrigerator and started grabbing things to make a sandwich.

"Jacob, you can't just go in their fridge and start taking food!", Quinn exclaimed, "We don't live here anymore, remember?"

"It's okay, it's not like any of us eat." Alice said with a chuckle.

"Yeah, I'm doing them a favor." Jacob muttered.

"Where are the babies?" Alice asked as she looked around. "Down at La Push with Leah and Seth. Which reminds me, we need to pick them up as soon as your done with your sandwich."

Jacob nodded in agreement as he stacked meat onto a piece of bread. Alice grimaced and shook her head, "That smells awful."

Quinn just shrugged, then looked at Alice, "Why aren't you in the living room with everyone else?"

"I already saw the outcome in one of my visions." Alice explained.

"What do they decide?" Jacob asked, his mouth full of sandwich.

"Basically what they agreed on. All the coven leaders will be members of the new Volturi with the Denali clan taking residence in Volterra since no one else was willing on leaving their coven to move there. Emmett joked that they can all skype each other when an issue comes up" Alice said with a chuckle.

"That's good that everything is settled." Quinn said as she reached over and quickly grabbed a piece of bacon out of Jacob's sandwich. "I'm just glad that all this drama is behind us, now it's going to be nothing but relaxation. We're gonna have so much free time…" Jacob said as he moved his sandwich out of Quinn's grasp.

"For now," Alice said.

Quinn frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Have you forgotten what's happening in a few weeks?" Alice asked, her hands on her hips. Quinn frowned, "No?"

Alice rolled her eyes and smiled, "First day of school, silly!"

Quinn's eyes widened, "Say what?"

"You're going to be a senior, remember? How could you forget?" Alice said with a shake of her head.

Quinn shook her head, "Alice, the last thing I want to do with my time is school!"

Jacob started laughing, "Ha. Ha. Sucks for you."

"I wouldn't be laughing, Jacob. You still have to finish school too."

Jacob's face fell. Quinn looked back at Alice, "Alice we have more important things to take care of than school, they're called Aiden and Charlie."

"C'mon, school is important too. Besides you have more than enough volunteers for babysitting."

"But-"

"Hey, it's only fair. We did our time, besides you two are already enrolled in Forks High School." Alice said with a smirk.

Quinn glared at her, "You. Suck."

Alice merely smiled, "So do you, we're vampires, remember?"

As soon as Jacob finished eating, he and Quinn walked back into the living room to say good-bye to all the covens and thank them again for their help. Quinn and Jacob headed back to La Push after that, walking into Emily's house when they reached it. They found the rest of the pack in the living room, along with Charlie and Aiden.

"Hi, mama!" Aiden greeted over Quil's shoulder, "Me and Uncle Quil are wrestling."

"Awesome, but Quil be careful not to hurt Aiden." Quinn said worriedly.

"You should be saying that to Aiden, he's all hell of a lot stronger than I am." Quil said before throwing Aiden onto the couch. Quinn looked over to find Charlie sitting with Leah, the two talking and laughing together. It was a wonderful sight seeing the usually somber Leah happy and laughing.

"How are Sam and Paul doing?" Jacob asked, noticing that they were the only ones absent.

"Fine, they're healing quickly. Emily's upstairs with them now." Seth explained.

Leah broke away from her conversation with Charlie when she ran up to hug Quinn, "Although Paul's throwing temper tantrums since it looks like he's going to be stuck in bed until he fully recovers."

"That shouldn't be long since he heals fast." Quinn said as she lifted Charlie into his arms.

Seth shrugged, "That's what I told him. But Paul is incredibly impatient."

"Hmm, sounds a lot like someone I know." Quinn muttered, her gaze drifting over to Jacob.

"What can I say? It's a werewolf thing." he said with a grin.

It was a little after midnight by the time they got home. Quinn headed upstairs with Jacob close behind her as he carried both Aiden and Charlie, who had fallen asleep during their walk home. Once they got upstairs, she took Charlie from Jacob and headed into Charlie's room to help her into her pajamas while Jacob did the same with Aiden.

Quinn entered her bedroom and headed for the bathroom. She walked over to the shower and turned on the water, eager to rid herself of the grim and dirt she had accumulated during the battle. She winced slightly as she lifted up the arm that Jane had nearly ripped off what seemed like only moments ago. Her body was still pretty sore from the fight, but she could feel that her body was close to fully repairing itself. She quickly stripped down until she's naked and steps into the shower. She sighed in content when the warm water penetrated her aching muscles. She stood there for a minute, just enjoying the feeling of the warm water against her cool skin. She heard the bathroom door open but didn't bother to turn around.

A few moments later she heard the shower door open and could feel the heat radiating off her husband's skin against her back. He switches places with her so that he's directly under the showerhead and then switching them back to where they were. She couldn't help but smile as she took in Jacob's glorious, wet naked body. She managed to pry her gaze from his body to reach over and grab the bar of soap. He watched as she rubbed the bar onto his chest in small circular movements until his chest was completely full of lather. He reached out and grabbed her hips as she slide her hands down his torso and even further.

She continued on until his entire body was full of lather. He took the soap from her suddenly and lathered up his hands before putting the soap aside. She reached behind her and grabbed the shampoo bottle off the rack. She slipped some shampoo into the palm of her hand and began massaging it into his scalp. Her fingers are intertwined in his hair as his hands slide up her sides, until he cups her breasts, his thumbs brushing over her nipples. She moaned softly, her grip on his hair tightening before he took his hands away from her chest and began to lather up the rest of her body.

As he did this, she begun to lather her own hair with shampoo, gasping in surprise when she felt his hands slide in between her legs. He caressed the inside of her legs, purposely avoiding the place where she needed his touch most. He directed her back under the stream of water before covering her mouth with his own. She pushed herself onto her toes and threw her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. He lifted her up, his lips leaving hers and traveling down the side of her neck. She moaned softly, her nails digging into his shoulders, her legs finding their way around his hips. They hadn't been intimate since before the babies were born and although it wasn't that long ago, it felt as though they had gone a lifetime without. Quinn almost forgot how capable Jacob was of making her eyes roll back into her head from pleasure.

Once they were fully rinsed off, Jacob quickly turned off the water and carried her out of the bathroom and into the bedroom. He laid her down on their bed before locking their door and turning off the lights.

"Should we?" she whispered, as he hovered over her, "I mean the babies are just down the hall…"The last thing she wanted was for them to hear while they were in the middle of….That would just be horrifying.

"They are both out like lights. They sleep like me, remember? It would take a stick of dynamite to wake them, not even our passionate love making would be enough to wake them" he reassured, as he brushed a wet strand of hair out of her face. He placed his lips on her ankles, then calves, and slowly moved higher. Her breath hitched when he spread her legs apart, burying his face in between her legs, lapping, exploring, his slight stubble brushing her inner thighs ever so softly.

"Jacob…" she pleaded, her toes curling as his tongue finds her clit. As her orgasm builds, she can feel her body start to writhe and jerk. Then suddenly he pulls away and she all but curses softly. But her displeasure disappears as quickly as it had come for he spread her legs apart even further and plunged his cock deep inside her. Finally satisfied and filled, her back arches, and she cries out in absolute pleasure as their bodies move together. He thrusts hard and deep, stretching her with his thickness, his hands braced on either side of her, his muscles tight. He buried his face in the crook of her neck as their climaxes near, his nails digging into the bed. He shifts her body up the bed with the strength of his final thrusts before they release into one another.

Jacob leaned down and kissed her forehead before kissing her softly on the lips. She gazed up at him lovingly, a smile spreading across her lips.

"I love you so much," he whispered, "And I'm sorry for not telling you that as often as I should."

She frowned, "What are you talking about, you're always telling me that you love me."

He shrugged, "I just feel like I don't say it as often as I should."

"Every time you look at me I see the love….it goes without saying."

"But it's always nice to hear." he whispered, a finger wrapping around one of her wet strands of hair.

"Thankfully we don't ever have to worry about someone trying to harm our family again." she whispered bringing her hand up to caress his cheek.

He nodded in agreement and kissed the inside of her wrist, "The worst is over."

She chuckled, "You forget we have school in a few weeks."

A few weeks later…

.

"Mama, mama wake up."

Quinn buried her face deeper into her pillow at the sound of her son's voice. She could hear him chuckle and then shake her slightly, "Mama wake up!"

"You'll be late for school!" Charlie said.

"Go away, I did my time." she grumbled. They both giggled.

"You're going to be late, mama, you turned your alarm off." She opened one of her eyes to see Aiden and Charlie standing at the side of her bed, staring up at expectantly. She reluctantly sat up, looking over to her nightstand to see that her alarm clock was completely gone.

"What happened to my…?"

Both Aiden and Charlie pointed to the window, which now had a nice alarm clock shaped hole through it.

"You threw it out the window," Aiden said with a little chuckle. She threw the covers aside and got out of bed before walking over to the window. She looked down and could see their alarm clock and it's pieces spread across the grass. Even though it was broken, it was still beeping. She shook her head in disbelief, turning around to see Jacob still sound asleep.

"Hey, why didn't you wake him up?" she demanded, looking down at Charlie and Aiden.

"We tried mama, but you're the only one who's able to wake him up." Charlie explained.

Quinn sat back down on the bed and smacked Jacob on the arm, if she had to get up then so did he, "Babe, wake up." He didn't budge.

She sighed and looked back at Charlie and Aiden, "Why don't you two go downstairs while I try and wake daddy". They both nodded and headed downstairs.

Once they were out of sight, Quinn straddled her husband and shook him violently, "Jacob, wake up."

Jacob groaned and his eyes flew open, "What the hell, lamb?". He looked at the position she was in and he smirked, "Is my lamb in need of some early morning lovin'?" he asked, his hands cupping her ass.

"You wish….it's our first day of school." she said unenthusiastically.

His face fell and his hands dropped from her ass, "Is that today?"

She nodded and rolled off him, "Unfortunately… now hurry up, otherwise we'll be late."

It didn't take them long to get dressed, although they would've been quicker had Jacob not unexpectedly taken her in the shower with him and ravished the hell out of her. As soon as she was done getting ready, she headed downstairs to find Aiden and Charlie, as well as Buster the bunny, sitting at the kitchen counter eating some cereal. My kids were so weird, she thought, if I didn't have to go to school, I'd be back in bed right now and yet here they are wide awake… She walked over to them and gave them each a kiss on the cheek.

"It's about time, mama" Charlie said, "What where you doing up there?" Not so much 'what' but rather 'who'….she thought. She reached over and grabbed some cereal for herself.

"We got a surprise for you, mama." Aiden said before hopping out of his chair and walking over to the refrigerator. She watched in curiosity as he opened the door and pulled out two brown paper lunch bags. She arched her eyebrow, "You guys made us lunch?"

Aiden and Charlie nodded, "Yup."

Aiden handed her a bag that originally said Mama in the middle, but it was crossed out and underneath it said Quinn.

"We forgot people aren't supposed to know you're a mama" Charlie said with a giggle. Quinn looked inside to find a bacon sandwich, a bag of apple slices, and a juice box. "You two are too cute, you know that?" she said with a smile as she closed her bag and walked over to give them hugs.

"What did they do this time?" Jacob asked, once he walked into the kitchen.

Quinn smiled, "They made us lunch. Do we not have the best kids or what?" Charlie and Aiden both beamed proudly.

"Am I the only one thinking that the roles should be reversed?" Jacob asked with a scratch of his head as Quinn handed him is lunch. Just then their doorbell rang and Quinn knew it was Alice. She walked over to the front door and opened it, not surprised when she saw Alice on the other side.

"Are you excited for today or what?" she asked.

Quinn stepped aside to let her in, "I wouldn't say excited was the word…". She shut the door before following Alice into the kitchen.

"How are my favorite niece and nephew?" Alice asked, upon seeing Aiden and Charlie.

"Aunt Alice, we're your only niece and nephew" Aiden reminded as he and Charlie walked over to give her a hug.

She chuckled and squeezed them both, "No matter, your still my favorites."

She let go of them and stood up, "Now let me get a good look at both of you." she said, referring to Quinn and Jacob.

She looked them both up and down as she took in their clothing choices. Jacob wore his maroon t-shirt with dark jeans and a leather jacket that Alice had picked out for him.

"At least you wore one thing I had bought you." Alice muttered.

"Can you blame me? Those clothes you got were just so…ugh."

Alice scoffed.

Quinn chuckled, "It could've been worse, at least he didn't choose to wear the jeans with all those holes in them and those sneakers that looked like they were about to fall apart".

Alice shrugged and looked at Quinn's outfit, "I guess. At least you wore what I had gotten you." She was wearing a brown and cream colored patterned dress with pockets and a grayish lavender cardigan. (AN: Think the outfit she wore in her last scene of The Sue Sylvester Super Bowl Shuffle episode)

"Only because you forced me." she said as she put her lunch into her bag. Alice noticed Quinn's camera on the table.

"Photo op!" Alice said suddenly, snatching the camera that Quinn was about to put in her bag from her hands.

"Smile you two." she said with a smile.

Quinn rolled her eyes and reached for her camera, "You are going to make us late, Alice."

"One picture." Alice begged.

"Just go with it, lamb." Jacob said, pulling her by the waist so that she stood next to him. Quinn smiled into the camera as Alice took the picture.

"Okay, now we're going to be late." she said as she snatched her camera back from Alice.

"Okay give us a hug you two." she said, crouching down and giving Charlie and Aiden another hug before they moved onto Jacob.

"You two be good for Aunt Alice, alright? And if she tries to take you shopping, I give you my permission to run for the hills." Jacob said as he squeezed them both. They both laughed. "Okay, daddy."

Quinn and Jacob headed outside where Jacob pulled Quinn's Ferrari out of the garage.

"Have fun at school, mama." Aiden said as he and Charlie stood on the front porch.

She smiled back at them, just as she was about to get in the car, "I will. You two behave and stay out of trouble."

"As long as we keep them away from Emmett, they'll be good." Alice said with a laugh.

The Ferrari pulled into the student parking lot and much to Quinn's dismay, was receiving quite a lot of attention. Just like usual. They just had to get me a Ferrari, she thought as she unbuckled her seatbelt. I bet Edward didn't have this problem with his stupid inconspicuous Volvo…

Jacob looked over at her, "You ready for this lamb?"

"As ready as I'll ever be." she muttered as she grabbed her bag from under the seat.

"Are you going to be okay…you know with all these humans around?" he asked as he removed the keys from the ignition.

"I'll be fine, I hunted last night, remember?" she said before she stepped out of the car. She could hear the gasps and soft murmurs of the surrounding students as she walked around the car to walk along side Jacob. They hurriedly headed inside to avoid the attention but it only got worse once they got inside. They walked down the hall together to find the office, but Quinn was having a tough time concentrating on that when she could hear everyone's comments about her as they walked by.

"That girl is smokin'!" one boy said to his friend.

The friend turned around and agreed, "But I think she's with that big dude. Oh well, I'd totally do her though…". She could feel Jacob slip his arm around her waist and pull her close.

"Could they be any more obvious with their staring?" Jacob muttered as he glared daggers at a group of boys that were gawking at Quinn. Thankfully they had reached the office and Quinn nearly ripped the door off its hinges in her haste to get away from everyone.

"Hello?" Jacob said to the secretary to capture her attention.

"Oh, hello what can I do for you?" she asked with a warm smile as she walked over to them. Quinn couldn't help but chuckle when she heard the secretary's heart rate quicken, her eyes still on Jacob.

"We're here to get our schedules, we're new." Jacob explained.

"Oh….you're students." This seemed to surprise her. Quinn figured it was because Jacob looked a lot older than seventeen.

"Can I have your names?" she asked.

"Jacob and Quinn Bl-" Quinn nudged him hard in the ribs.

"I'm Quinn Cullen and this is Jacob Black." she said quickly. The woman nodded and left to go get their schedules. Quinn turned to Jacob, slightly glaring at him.

"Sorry, I forgot that here we're not married." he said sheepishly. Before she could say another thing, the secretary returned with their schedules, maps of the school, and locker numbers, "Have a good day!" Jacob thanked her and Quinn took the schedules.

"Do we have any classes together?" Jacob asked as they left the office.

She nodded, "All but one. I have Dance six period and you have Auto shop."

"Do you think Alice rigged our schedules?" Jacob asked as he took his schedule from her.

"I wouldn't be surprised. Oh, look, we also have lockers next to each other. Tell me that's a coincidence."

He chuckled, "We'll have to thank Alice when we get home."

Even though they were taking easy courses and the teacher's seemed really nice, the day had gone by incredibly slow for both Jacob and Quinn. Quinn felt a little weird in this new setting seeing as mostly everyone seemed a little intimidated to talk to her. She wasn't sure if it was because of her beauty, not to sound vain, or the fact that she had a large werewolf attached to her hip. It wasn't until her fourth period Government class when someone spoke to her.

"Ohmygod is that a wedding ring?" exclaimed a girl who sat next to her. Quinn's eyes widened and looked down at her left hand where her wedding band lay. She knew she had forgotten to do something this morning! "Uh, no…it's a…"

"Promise ring." Jacob finished for her from his seat that was behind her.

The girl stared at Jacob, "That's some promise ring, it looks like it costs a ton of money!"

"Nothing but the best for my girl." he said with a grin before kissing Quinn on the cheek. The girl staring at them all but melted in her seat. Quinn couldn't help but chuckle.

Things started to look up for Quinn once she had Dance class. It was the only class where she didn't have Jacob by her side and knew it was easier to talk to the girls knowing that they wouldn't be drooling over Jacob as she spoke. Thankfully after that class was over, she had a free period so that enabled her and Jacob to go home earlier. Thank god for being a senior, she thought as she and Jacob headed towards the school parking lot, just as most seniors did.

"I'm so glad the day's over, I've been missing the kids since third period," Quinn said as she walked up to their front door, Jacob right behind her.

She searched in her bag for the keys, "Although….does that make me weird if I said that I actually enjoyed being in school again?"

Jacob shook his head, "I feel the same, plus having nearly all my classes with you is just an added bonus. This year is going to be really amazing." She nodded in agreement but stopped when she noticed that there was a note on the door.

Meet us at the clearing!

-Alice.

Quinn ripped the note off the door and looked back at Jacob, "Do you think something happened?"

He shrugged, "Let's just hurry up and see, it will probably rain soon."

She nodded in agreement and they left their bags on the porch before heading into the woods. As they ran towards the clearing, they were able to hear voices and laughter. This made Quinn feel better seeing as how nothing could be wrong. The two of them skidded to a halt and jogged out into the open, surprised to see the entire Cullen family and the wolf pack standing around. Quinn's eyes narrowed when she realized that the Cullen's were dressed in baseball outfits. Okay, now she was confused.

"Mama! Daddy!"

Aiden and Charlie ran towards them, and she realized that they were both wearing oversized baseball jerseys and matching baseball caps.

"You made it just in time, mama."

Alice skipped over to them, carrying what seemed like a pile of clothes.

"What's going on?" Jacob asked in confusion.

"Baseball, duh! The thunder makes it the perfect weather for it! It's a Cullen family tradition and today is going to mark the first time you, Jacob, the babies, Bella, and the pack are going to play with us! It's the start of a new family tradition!" Alice exclaimed, before handing Quinn some clothes.

"What's this?" she asked.

"Your baseball attire, duh! You can't play baseball in a dress. Go behind one of the trees and change!" Quinn blinked and reluctantly turned around and headed for the trees.

Jacob followed Alice to where everyone else was, "Since when do vampires play baseball?"

Quinn returned a few seconds later, dressed in tight fitting baseball pants and a baseball t-shirt with matching cap. "Okay, now that everyone's here, let's gather around." Carlisle announced. Everyone huddled around.

"Okay, Emily and Esme will be the referees and the rest of us will break off into two teams of nine players. So everyone get into teams" Carlisle said. And everyone did. It was Jacob and the pack versus Quinn and the Cullen's.

"We call Charlie and Aiden!" Emmett bellowed.

"No way, unfair advantage! One hybrid per team!" Paul argued.

"We have names, Uncle Paul." Aiden said with a frown.

"We'll take Charlie and you guys get Aiden, so that it's even." Leah announced.

"Now that's settled. Team captains step up front." Esme directed. Sam and Carlisle both stepped forward.

"Whoever calls it, bats first." Esme explained as she held up a quarter. She flipped it up in the air.

"Heads!" Sam called. It landed and everyone stepped back.

"It's…tails. We bat first." Alice said proudly.

"Rosalie, you're up first." Carlisle said as he handed her a bat. She smirked and strutted onto home plate while the pack took to the field.

Leah was pitcher. Rosalie nodded her head and Leah wound up before throwing the ball. Rosalie smacked it with all her strength, only for it to be a foul ball. Now Quinn understood why they needed thunder to play. Rosalie smirked at the pack's surprised expressions. Leah threw the ball again, and Rosalie smacked it into center field where it bounced into Jared's hands. He pivoted and threw the ball to Seth on first base. He caught it before Rosalie made it to the base.

"Sorry, Rose." he said apologetically as he threw the ball back to Leah.

She brushed herself off and walked back over to her team. Jasper walked up and managed to get a two base hit. Edward followed and got a home run. The score was 1-0. Bella reluctantly walked up to the base and struck out, nearly hitting herself in the face on the last try.

"Quinn, you're next." Alice said.

"Huh?".She sucked at sports! Alice quickly threw her a bat and pushed her onto the base. "Do I have to?"

She nodded. Quinn groaned and walked up to the plate where Jacob was crouched down.

"You can do it, mama!" Charlie said from the infield.

"Who's team are you on?" Quil joked.

She got ready and lifted her bat up. "Have I told you how incredibly sexy your ass looks in those pants, lamb?" Jacob asked.

Quinn turned around just as Leah threw the ball. "STRIKE!" Quinn whipped her head around. She glared at Jacob who was laughing, "Jerk!". He merely chuckled.

"No sex for you." she muttered. His face fell.

Leah threw the ball again and Quinn swung but missed.

"STRIKE!"

"Get your eyes checked, ump!"

"Aiden James!" Quinn and Jacob both said sharply at Aiden's outburst.

He slouched down in his seat, "Sorry."

"Don't say it to me, say it to Grandma!" Quinn scolded, as she rested her bat against her shoulder.

"Sorry grandma!" Aiden said to Esme. Esme stifled her laughter.

Quinn focused back on Leah as she wound up and threw a fastball at her. She swung at it, the ball going deep into the trees causing Sam and Paul to both run for it. She dropped her bat and started running as fast as she could. She had just rounded second when she saw Sam throw the ball to Embry on third. Embry reached out to catch it, only to have the ball fly past him. He scrambled for the ball as she was nearing home plate. She slid into home and heard the sound of the ball meeting Jacob's hands.

"SAFE!" Esme and Emily both said. Quinn smirked and brushed the dirt off her pants. Aiden excitedly walked up to the plate, with everyone, even the pack, cheering for him.

"Don't go easy on my Auntie Leah just cause' I'm a kid." Aiden said as he got in position. Leah chuckled and nodded. She threw the ball and Aiden swung, sending the ball into the trees just as Quinn had done. And like Quinn, he also made a home run. The score was 3-0.

After everyone on their team batted, they switched places so that the pack was now the one batting. The pack was more than eager at their chance to defeat them. In this inning, Paul, Seth, and Sam made home runs.

The game continued on, everything going well with the Cullen's in the lead 11-9 by the start of the seventh inning. And by the bottom of the ninth, the two teams were tied 14-14. The Cullen's were up to bat, with two outs and Aiden was up. No pressure for a little kid, Quinn thought to herself. He got two strikes and three fouls, but on the sixth pitch, he slammed the ball so hard that everyone heard a boulder two miles away crack under the impact.

"Damn, Aiden James, you got skill!" Paul said, clearly impressed and seemingly forgetting that their team lost. Aiden smiled proudly and rounded the bases and then jumped into his father's arms for a congratulatory hug.

"Good job, Aiden!" Quinn exclaimed, lifting up her son and kissing both his cheeks as soon as Jacob put him down. Charlie skipped over to them and Jacob lifted her up.

"You were awesome, Aiden." she said and they both high-fived each other.

"We should head home, it's starting to rain." Seth commented as rain droplets fell on the tip of his nose.

"You should all come over to our house for dinner," Esme suggested. The pack looked at each other and then looked to Sam.

"That would be great." Sam said with a nod. Quinn and Jacob were both surprised that they agreed.

Quil chuckled, "Think you can put up with our stench for a few more hours?"

Emmett grinned and scooped Aiden and Charlie up so that they sat on his shoulders, "I think we can. We put up with anything for family." The pack smiled and everyone started to head back to the Cullen household.

Quinn followed everyone but stopped for a moment to look up at the sky. Jacob noticed this and walked back over to her, "Everything okay?" he asked worriedly.

She nodded, her gaze still on the sky, "The weather…it reminds me so much of my first night in Forks. It wasn't even that long ago and yet it feels like it was another lifetime or something". She thought back to her Aunt's words on her first day in Forks. Things are going to get better. I promise. Quinn had doubted her then, but now realized how right she had been.

"A lot has changed since then" he whispered, coming up behind her and wrapping his arms around her, his cheek pressed into her hair.

She nodded in agreement, "So much. It's crazy just how much".

He leaned down and nuzzled her neck, "I'm just glad the Cullen's found you when they did. I would be so miserable if they hadn't".

She turned her head and kissed his cheek, "Me too. Although, even if they hadn't of found me, I believe we wouldn't found our way to each other sooner or later".

He turned her around and kissed her forehead, "I'm just glad it was sooner rather than later".

She nodded and tried to blink away her tears. Jacob looked down at her, "Are you crying or are these raindrops?" he asked as he gently brushed them away.

"Tears," she said quietly, "But happy tears" she reassured. He looked at her curiously.

"As I watched the baseball game, it dawned on me that this is what the rest of forever is going to be like…nothing but happiness and love. And after seventeen years of being miserable, it's just an incredible feeling to know that's what lies ahead for me…for us".

He wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on top of her head, "I look forward to all the other moments and experiences we're going to get to share together". She nodded in agreement and wrapped her arms tighter around his waist, "They say that a soulmate is the one who makes life come to life… you did exactly that for me, Jacob Black".

He cupped her chin and titled her face up so that she was looking up at him. She sucked in an unnecessary sharp breath as she looked into his beautiful brown eyes. Everything about being here, in his arms, was natural…perfect…beautiful. Everything that was Jacob.

"I love you," he whispered, his warm breath tickling her forehead.

She pushed herself up onto her toes and kissed his lips, "Always," she breathed. He pulled her closer than she had been before, her hands now clinging to his broad shoulders as his lips descended onto hers.

"And forever," he whispered against her lips, their gazes locked.

"Always and forever." she agreed. The thunder increased to a deafening roar as if to reaffirm their vow before their lips met once more.
