Nessie's Birthday (Edward's POV)

After Victoria was arrested I managed to walk down the aisle and down the stairs to look for my daughter. Dad was standing outside the house watching closely how the police officers took Jasper Whitlock, Jacob and Victoria out of the house, an officer taking her into the patrol. The paramedics took care of the wound on Jasper's leg, and they did the same with Jacob. The two of them ride along with three police officers in the ambulance.

I was in a trance; I couldn't hear a single sound around me. I just wanted to get to Nessie and see myself that she was alright.

"Where's Nessie?" I asked someone beside me.

"What happen to Bella?" I asked again, but all around me sounded muffled.

I turned around and Nessie came running at full speed toward me. She crashed on my legs and hugged them tightly. My vision was blurry because of the tears than pooled my eyes. I grabbed her in my arms to hold her closer to my chest. I put her back on her feet and began to examine her arms, feet, face and body but she was physically fine.

"Daddy! I was so scared! But you did it, you save me!"

Her words just made the lump in my throat even bigger and I couldn't talk. I only nodded and started to kiss her dirty cheeks. She giggled and hugged me tightly once again.

"I love you daddy, you are my hero!"

I kept crying, hung to my daughter for dear life when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"C'mon Edward. Bella needs you…" my dad said from behind me.

The ride to the hospital was shorter than I expected. We left Nessie at my parent's house, she was hungry and exhausted and I knew she couldn't see her mother in the ER. As soon as Carlisle parked the car I jumped off and ran towards de emergency room, leaving the passenger door open. I passed by security officers, nurses, doctors and patients, avoiding collide with any of them… just looking around trying to find my wife. Then I finally found her, she was lying on a bed, and an IV line was snacked around her arm. She looked so pale, making the dark circles under her eyes more accentuated and she had the saddest expression plastered on her porcelain face. My heart skipped a beat just seeing her in that condition. I took her hand on mine and gently kissed her knuckles.

"Bella… my Isabella. Open your eyes for me baby. You are safe now… everything is fine now honey… Just open your eyes for me… I'm begging you my love."

Her eyes flickered a little, but then she opened her beautiful brown eyes to me. I sighed in relief and kissed her mouth, cheeks, forehead and hands.

"Edward… where is Renesmee? Please tell me she is fine… please…" her voice was raspy and barely audible. I swallowed the lump in my throat and nodded.

"She is alright Bella. Nessie is at my mom's house. Esme is taking good care of her…" her eyes were red and puffy.

"Oh Edward!! I thought that we lost her!" she started to sob shaking her head and I kissed her forehead.

"You two are safe now baby… I promise."

"You saved us, you came for us…" I nodded and she took my face on her hands.

"I love you Edward!"

"I love you even more Isabella!"

And we sealed her rescue with a kiss.

*~*~*~*

Bella stayed in the hospital for a few days after we rescued them from the Meadow Mansion. My mom planned a welcome party for Bella, Nessie and Alice at our home, but Alice had to stay at the hospital for a little longer. Nessie stayed with my parents while I took Bella back to the house from the hospital.

The house was quiet and seemed empty from the outside. I opened the front door grinning and I stood back so Bella could get inside first.

"Surprise!!!!" all the family screamed in chorus, startling Bella.

"Welcome home mommy!!!" our daughter came running and Bella's legs betrayed her, making her stumble to the ground. They embraced each other and we all joined them on the floor. We had a lovely evening with the family, my mom asked Nessie if she would like to spend the night at my parent's house and she agreed happily. They all left us to spend the rest of the night on our own.

Bella was clearing the dining room table and I helped her taking the plates to the kitchen and to place them on the dishwasher. She wiggled her sexy ass a little while rubbing some dirt off the counter. I stared at her and she caught me. I grinned.

"Looking something that you like Cullen?" she said, drying her hands with a paper towel.

"Did I tell you that you look so lovely in that little black dress?" I said making Bella flush furiously.

"Well… like one million times tonight, I guess," she teased me back.

I took her face in my hand and pulled her against me, my arms surrounding her exquisite body. I looked her at the eyes and I kissed her. At first our kisses were slow and yet so passionate. Bella leaned into the kiss, pressing her body against mine. She slowly opened her sweet mouth and she let me swirl my tongue inside. She bit it playfully and made me smile. I had missed her lips, her body, and her sweetness.

Bella pushed her hands up to the back of my neck and into my hair, making me groan at the sensation. She moaned in satisfaction. I felt her breasts pressed into me, making my erection even harder, almost painful. We pulled away to take a breath and I heard when Bella whispered in my ear.

"I want you to make love to me, make me forget all this mess with your kisses… with the touch of your hands on my body. Please Edward…"

Our kisses deepened, intoxicating both of us. We took the stairs up to our room. As we opened the door, her lips became urgent and mine demanding. Bella's hands traveled through my neck to my chest, unbuttoning my shirt and throwing it at the side of the bed. I gently - yet demanding - pushed her on her back and climbed in top of her, admiring her nakedness, worshipping every inch of her skin. She still got a few bruises on her body and I gently kissed each one of them. I cupped one of her breasts with my hand and she moaned at the sensation. I bit, licked and sucked her swollen nipple, making her shiver under my body.

"Now Edward…"

"Your wish, my command."

I put myself on her entrance and took a deep breath. My eyes traveled through her body and locked in her eyes. She nodded and I pushed my way inside of her. We both groaned at the feeling. Bella had been always so tight, making my head spin with waves of pure lust. She tightened around me and pushed her hips forward, getting the rest of the way. Those movements made me take my head back and I moaned loudly. I started to move inside of her, Bella was crying out, chewing her lower lip. I pulled back and push back in, again and again setting an agonizing pace.

"I love you Bella… I fucking love you."

"Me too baby… me too."

My thrusts became more urgent. I was moving into her faster and faster. Bella's nails dig into my shoulders and she climaxed, clenching around me. That pushed me over the edge and I came too. We both fall asleep; our bodies tangled in a mess of legs and burgundy silk sheets.

*~*~*~* Four weeks later… *~*~*~*

"Happy Birthday dear Nessie… happy birthday to you" we all sang in a dismayed chorus of mixed men, women and kids voices. Nessie was beautifully dressed in her Princess Aurora pink dress and a princess tiara that Emmett gave her as a birthday gift, he loves to spoil her a lot, so we didn't argued when he bought her birthday Disney Princess gown for her party. My mom made her a special cake; she added seven sparkling candles that adorned her giant Sleeping Beauty cake. We would be eating birthday cake at least for another year. Carlisle gave her a Dora the Explorer bike, so Bella and I bought her the Nintendo Wii she wanted.

We were all at my parent's house around the gazebo, Alice prepared previously all the events; hired a party decorator to built a princess castle in the backyard making the atmosphere magical for Nessie's party. After we sang her the traditional Happy Birthday song, she blew the candles on her cake and we all cheered and applauded as she did. Nessie looked beautiful and happy.

Bella was on her side smiling and posing for pictures and kissing our girl's cheeks. In her face you could still see some blue marks from her attack. The physical wounds healed quite quickly, but we needed to fight the emotional ones. Besides that, today was a very important day and I was even happier to have them by my side, safe and protected once again.

I decided to attend to family therapy so we could help Nessie and Bella deal with their traumatic experience and made this whole situation bearable for all of us. Emmett, mom and dad agreed to accompany us too and I was glad that they got involved in our therapy sessions.

Alice came in her wheelchair as a surprise for all of us. She had been released from the hospital hours ago so she could share with Nessie in her party. Dad came behind her, pushing her chair looking proud and happy. Alice was in a wheelchair to help her move around the house without making any sudden movements. After Jasper Whitlock attacked her, she ended up with two broken ribs and other injuries that need to heal completely before she could walk on her own again. My mother told Alice that she hadn't been sexually assaulted and she was going to attend counseling once a week like the rest of us.

"I'm glad to have you home Ali Bee!" I said and then kissed her cheek. She blushed and gave us a huge smile.

"Awww my baby is back! I have missed you so much," and mom pulled her in a hug that made her squeak.

"Sorry Ali," she said and kissed Alice's forehead.

"I am more than happy to be home! And you didn't change the date. I knew I was going to be here on time to celebrate," she said pulling a camera out of her pocket and snapped a photo at us without a warning.

"Show me the family love," she said taking us another picture, I frowned and Bella just giggled at my side.

"Alice…" I warned her.

"C'mon Eddie!! Kiss her properly."

Bella stood up on her tiptoes and kissed me, making all the people cheer around us. I swear a sudden flush of red tainted my cheeks, and that wasn't usual on me. Bella kissed me one more time. When we finally broke the kiss, all of them were laughing at us.

Alice was still taking more pictures of us; she was always so charming, yet so annoying, sometimes. From the distance I heard Emmett's booming voice yelling, "Get a room!" as he ran after Nessie and her friends.

Nessie's birthday party was a success. We celebrated our life, the life of my daughter, the love for my wife and the union of all my family. We were finally together... complete.

Nessie came running toward us and she asked Alice if she could give her a ride on the "Auntie's cycle" and of course she agreed. Bella looked at me and I looked back at my dad.

"I'm sorry honey, but you can't ride on Alice's lap. Her leg is hurt and she can't take you on it," Bella said, caressing our girl's hair.

"But mommy… awwww," she said stomping her foot on the ground.

"Renesmee Carlie Cullen, stop it…" I tried to scold her but her grandmother interrupted me clearing her throat loudly.

"You can always push my chair Ness, I bet you are strong enough to do that for me, since granddaddy is tired because he is so old…" Alice said and we all laughed at my father expenses. My family was finally happy and reunited once again.

Emmett's health was completely restored. He was strong enough to heal from his wounds a lot quicker than Alice did. It only took two weeks for him to get back into action again. But he couldn't return to work then. He had to wait until Rosalie Hale's trial to be able to join SWAT force again. Later that week, Rosalie's family made a burial ceremony and Emmett attended, he looked so devastated that we thought he was going to lose his composure. Her family comprehended what had happened and didn't blame him about it.

*~*~*~*

Last Wednesday was Rosalie Hale's murder trial and Emmett remained on domiciliary custody deprived of his job and weapon, until his attorney presented their innocent statement plea to the prosecutor and grand jury in the court room in Seattle. Emmett was extremely nervous, because he was sure that he would lose the case against the district prosecutor Aro Caius, one of the coldest people on Earth. The case was finally closed after five hours of deliberation and testimonials presented to the court, Marcus Volturi, Emmett's attorney could prove to the jury that he acted in self-defense, when Rosalie attacked him in her apartment.

After the trial, Emmett decided to take an offshore vacation so he could start working right after he came back.

To finally give a closure to this dark chapter in our lives, we had to state in the lawsuit against Victoria Stevens, Jacob Black and Jasper Whitlock. On the trial, they were charged with different penalties including kidnapping, drug distribution and man slaughtering. The three of them were sentenced to life behind bars without any remote possibility of parole. The prosecutor asked for Nessie's face recognition test and presented it as strong valuable evidence against the three of them. On the other hand Bella and Alice offered their individual testimony to seal their faith. I gave mine and narrated all that happened on my family rescue, and the prior events that started all this mess.

With all of them in jail, we could live our lives in peace and finally enjoy the happiness of being together once again.

Bella and I walked out the judge room with our fingers twined, looking forward to a happy and long life together.

*~*~*~* Epilogue (Victoria's POV) *~*~*~*

Three weeks after Edward Cullen rescued his family in the Meadow Mansion; I was facing trial for kidnapping, money laundering and drug dealing. They found me guilty and sentenced me to live in prison for the rest of my existence, but I felt that all I did was worth it. I have no regrets whatsoever. If I born again, I would do exactly as I did before.

The crime of seizing, confining, abducting or carrying away a child by force or fraud, often to subject them to involuntary servitude, in an attempt to demand a ransom, or in furtherance of another crime was a grave offense in this state, so I wasn't surprised of the verdict. I have been sentenced to a long prison term, without any possibility of parole for at least 20 years. Jacob Black and Jasper Whitlock were charged with man slaughtering, 2 counts of first-degree murder, kidnapping and drug distribution with a sentence of life in prison and probably they would hit the death penalty too. They were going to spend the rest of their lives in this hellhole. That was for sure. All of us would die here, all alone.

I was looking out the barred window lost in my thoughts, seated in the visitor room, waiting to see my mother. I haven't seen her since I left Sinaloa with James a few years ago. Since she knew about my arrest, she came to visit me every week; but my dad was a very different story. He was still angry and highly disappointed with me, and I don't blame him about it.

I was thinking so much in my James and the "what if" questions. My mom always blamed and cursed him for taking me to where I was now, in this hellhole, but I don't, I would never ever blame him. I have chosen my own path and I had chosen him, no matter where the consequences were.

And those consequences brought me here.

But beside of my imprisonment, I was happy. Happy that all this fucking nightmare was finally over. Happy to know that the man I hate with all my forces had suffered and had begged me for his family safety. I made him kneel… he just suffered the same pain I did when he killed my James.

And I was so fucking proud of it.

I smiled; my mom looked at me trying to understand what was so funny about my situation. But I shook my head.

Mom said that she had talk to Edward and Isabella Cullen after the trial and they didn't have any resentment for me… As if I fucking care about that. And I don't really give a shit about the fact that they were together now, because I still got something to remain me about my beloved James:

My vengeance.
