Epilogue

If you had told me five years ago that Edward Cullen would have left me, I would have just laughed at you and said that would never happen. Of course, I was young and naive then, so I guess I owe you an apology if I did do that.

Then again, if you had told me straight after that I would end up marrying Paul Long, one of La Push's hot-headed players then I would have punched right in the place it hurts the most and wouldn't have apologies for that at all.

But now that I've grown up a little I can see how dull mine and Edward's relationship was and how there was really no love. I realise now that I went out with him because I was flattered at actually being asked out. I'd never been asked out before, you see.

I was Isabella Marie Swan back then, but now my name is Isabella Marie Long, and I couldn't be happier.

"Mum!" I heard my youngest daughter, Kristen; scream from downstairs, pulling me out of my thoughts as I pulled my hairbrush through my now very long brunet hair. "Alex isn't playing fair again!"

I came downstairs with her and placed a hand on my hip, giving Alex- my oldest son- my best mother stare.

"Alex, what have I told you about using your werewolf strength when playing with your brothers and sister?"

"But..." Alex began but I cut him off.

"Goats but, horse's nay and boys like you do as they're told. Now, play nicely or I'll get your Alpha to give you extra patrolling to do."

I glowered at him for a couple of minutes and he gazed at the floor with a mumble "Sorry, mother."

I laughed.

"Mum, when will we be as strong as Alex?" my two other sons, Robert and Tyler, whined together. Being twins, they knew exactly what the other was going to say before they actually said it and so got very annoying sometimes when they came up with one of their evil plans that always ended with someone in tears, which was mainly Kristen.

"When you phase, just like your father said" I said calmly and, just then, Paul came through the door, beaming like the cat that just got the cream. "Oh god, speak of the devil and the devil shall appear."

"Hey" Paul exclaimed, pouting "I resent that!"

"Love you to, honey" I laughed, kissing him quickly before starting lunch. "How was patrolling?"

"Horrible, as usual" Paul grumbled.

"Oh, for goodness sake, it can't be that bad!" I said.

"It is when you have Quil in your head going on and on about Claire!"

Claire was Quil's imprint. What scared us the most, though, was the fact that she was only two years old. It creep the hell out of us all, but I didn't care. Once you get over the shock you realise that they're quite cute together. Claire has Quil wrapped around her little finger.

"Aww, poor Pauly" I cooed, ruffling his hair playfully before placing his food in front of him and the kids.

Suddenly, Seth came in panting and looking very excited.

"Guess what!" he grinned and I sighed.

"What?"

"I imprinted!" That changed my attitude instantly.

"Oh my gosh! When can I meet her?" I squealed.

"Well...urm...you can meet her now" Seth muttered, blushing and gesturing at a gorgeous girl standing behind him.

She had naturally dark brown hair with light brown highlights in that stopped right below her chest and her skin had a bit of a tan. She had curves in all the right places and only came half way up Seth's shoulder. All in all she was beautiful.

"Hey" she said cheerfully "my names Marii. You must be the famous Bella that I was told I had to meet."

"I sure am" I laughed holding out my hand which she shook. Then I rounded on Seth and said "Right, Seth, you listen to me. I like this girl so if you hurt her, so help me you'll wish you were never born!"

Seth shrank back a bit and mumbled something before turning around and running out side, using the glass door as a shield from me.

I and Marii burst out laughing at his expression.

"See you later" Marii grinned before dragging Seth off towards the woods.

"Bye" I called and then I stood, lent against the counter eating my food while watching my family play together, laughing, and smiled. This is my life, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
