A/N: Thank all of you SO much for following this story and putting up with me! I hope you all have enjoyed reading it!
Here's the epi! *hugs all around*
Epilogue: Who's Life Is Perfect?
I listen to Maggie giggle from the living room. I leaned against the archway. She and Edward were "wrestling" in the floor which was basically just tickeling each other to death. I watched as my beautiful bronze - almost red - haired daughter jumped on to her father's stomach. Edward was lying in the middle of the floor faking pain everytime Mags would jump on him.
If you didn't know that Maggie was two months premature and had to stay in the hospital for seven weeks after her birth, you would never guess it now. She was just a little smaller than the size of the average three year old which was perfect. She still had breathing problems sometimes but she had an inhaler for that. Now she was a happy, smiley, giggly three year old.
"Okay you two, don't tear up this house. I worked hard on it!" I said with a laugh as I went back into the kitchen. Yes, I was proud of my house. After Maggie was born, the apartment was the perfect size. But when she was two Edward and I found out that we were pregnant again. Nine months later, I gave birth to our second daughter Bailey Elizabeth. She was almost a year now and was extremely talkative.
Anyway, having two kids made Edward and I realize that we couldn't live in a two bedroom apartment for our entire lives. So, we moved out of the Seattle area (I didn't want Mags to start school in a big city. I never really had any intention of staying there anyway) and went house hunting. We found a classically beautiful North Pacific style home about an ten minutes away from Forks which meant she was only ten minutes away from her grandparents. But her aunts and uncles would have to travel to come see her or vice verse.
Alice and Jasper were still in the boyfriend/girlfriend stage. They didn't see any real reason to rush things but had been able to live together peacefully in Seattle where Alice's clothing business was going great. Emmett and Rose had gotten married almost a year ago and - surprise, surprise - were expecting a baby in November. Rose, who usually doesn't like the thought of having children, was estatic. We found out later that her only fear of being a mom or children for that matter was that she knew she had the power to royally screw them up. I assured her that, that was a typical thing to be afraid of. I felt the same way when I was first pregnant and even before then. They'd decided to go live closer to Rose's parents in California for now.
"Mama!" I heard Bailey shout from her highchair in the kitchen.
I walked back in there. "What's the matter Bailey-Boo?" I said as I picked her up from her highchair and put her on my hip. I went back into the living room and as soon as she saw her father and big sister, she lunged for them. I set her down on her feet. She walked about three steps before giving up and crawling over to them.
"Watch out. Bailey wants to play." I warned them.
Edward pulled Bailey onto his stomach and bounced her up and down. He was so beautiful and the best husband and father anyone could ever want. How I got so lucky for him to pick me confused me everyday but I was just glad he did. And I was glad he gave me two beautiful daughters.
I looked down at my still reatively flat stomach. (Hey, you can't have two kids and not have some evidence. I wasn't that lucky.) I caressed my stomach through my shirt. I was positive that this next baby would make Edward and I just as happy as the first two.
I was so happy with my life, even if it wasn't always easy. Hell, who's life is?
So there it is! That's the end! I hope you liked it!
