Hey everyone! So, since I've been away for so long and killed Edward's beloved AND indirectly killing him…and apparently Jasper too. (One of my readers said so.) That makes me a murderer??
Um…no. Wait…off topic here! So this is the epilogue that you people have asked for. I hope that it's ok.
Also, I want to thank you all for reading my story and reviewing it. I want to thank those who favorited it as well. THANK YOU ALL!
PS: I'm sorry if it's a little short and rather late.

The sky was a dark grey and blue as thunder clouds rolled over the skies, threatening to release the frustration that it's been holing up inside. Everything was dreary and depressing as the night approached, silent and creeping.
Somewhere in the midst of this mayhem was a broken heart that didn't even acknowledge the roars of thunder and the threats of the lightening. Quietly, he just in his clearing sobbing tearlessly. Hearing the pain of this poor soul, the sky started to weep. The thunder lowered to a gentle purr as it tried to soothe the heart broken creature.
Through the trees that surrounded the small clearing a figure stepped out of the darkness. She knelt beside the still and sobbing form and closed her tiny arms around his larger frame.
"Edward," she whispered. "Come home. It's been over fifty years since her death. You can't live like this forever."
Edward said nothing. He simply shook his head and stood up ignoring the small pixie girl as he walked into the small cabin he had built. She followed him in and sighed. "Edward, you have to stop this silliness. Move on. I know it was hard on you. It was hard on everyone to lose Bella, but we're dealing."
Suddenly Edward spun around, his eyes hollow and empty. "No!" he snarled. "She said I must wait and that's what I'm going to do. Go home Alice."
"Please Edward! Listen to reason! Bella wouldn't want you to do this!"
"YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT BELLA WOULD HAVE WANTED!" Edward roared throwing himself forward and pinning small Alice to the wall. His sheer agony has driven him beyond sanity.
Startled, Alice brought up a hand and swiftly smacked it across his cheek, her eyes brimming with imaginary tears. "Edward," she whispered her gold eyes looking into his black empty ones. They were so pain filled he was immediately drowned in regret. "you're an asshole. YOU BASTARD!" Again her hand flew across his cheek with a loud smack and she was dropped.
Edward felt to his knees before her, his form shaking in sobs and his head hanging in shame. For many moments he was silent as Alice knelt down as well and hugged herself as her sobs began to arise. "I'm so sorry Alice. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have attacked you. You're right. You always are. I'm an asshole, a bastard." He buried his face in his hands and cried. "I just want her back. She said I must wait for her, but where is she?! Where is she Alice?"
The pixie girl wrapped her arms around Edward once again, "Be patient Edward. We're all trying to be. But please, come home, even if it's just for a little while. Everyone is terribly worried. You haven't come home in fifty years now…"
"I can't bear to leave her," he whispered.
Alice took his face in her hands and forced him to look at her. Her expression was determined. "You will never leave her, like she will never leave you. If she said she'll be back, then she will Edward and she'll come looking for you." That seemed to persuade him, because after minutes of silence, Edward let his sister lead him home.

The island was beautiful as usual and although the slight bit of darkness always lingered, the atmosphere was rather joyous most the time. Edward walked silently up to the room where he had hear the voice of his love after her death.
He stood on the balcony and sighed. So enveloped in his thoughts he didn't even smell the creature that walked in and lay a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Jacob Black smiling sadly at him. Edward looked down and then back at the landscape below.
"Jacob?" a small feminine voice called from the doorway. Jacob smiled and motioned for the girl to join him. "Who is this?" Edward turned again and looked at the girl. She had long brown hair that flowed in curls to the middle of her back. Her eyes shimmered green-grey, so full of life and happiness, but what was most eye catching was the huge stomach she was carrying with her.
"Edward," Jacob's voice was filled with an emotion; Edward hadn't felt in over five decades. "This is Amelia Cheney, Angela and Ben's grand-daughter. She's my imprint. Amelia, this is Edward Cullen, Son of Carlisle Cullen, the doctor that has been looking after you."
Amelia smiled and held out her hand. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Edward. Everyone has told me so much about you. I'm very sorry for the loss of Mistress Isabella."
Edward nodded and smiled slightly. "It's a pleasure to meet you too," Edward was surprised at how dead his voice sounded compared to hers. "I know it might be late, but congratulations on your baby."
Jacob and Amelia grinned at each other. "Thank you. Your father says it's a girl. And…well, we've decided to name her Isabella."
The name sent a jolt through his dead heart and he smiled as best as he could. "Thank you. Thank you so much."
She smiled brightly and nodded before being escorted out the room by Jacob. Throughout the day everyone paid a visit to Edward, even the Heiresses and the Volturi.
Edward's POV
I couldn't take it anymore. All those looks that they are giving me, I just can't take it anymore! I stood up from the library couch and left the castle sprinting. I glimpsed at the scenery of green around me and finally came to a stop at the base of the waterfall.
The pain in my chest started resurfacing and my body was once again heaving with sobs.
I wasn't sure how much time I had spent sobbing tearlessly and just laying on the ground, but by the time I managed to control myself to look up to the sky, it was around twilight. I sighed. A breeze danced carelessly through the land and brought the sound of someone walking to my attention. Slowly I sat up and through the approaching darkness saw Jacob's imprint, Amelia.
She approached me carefully carrying that heavy load with her and silently sat down beside me. That was something worth being surprised about. Everyone had been avoiding him the moment he had been back, but not her. Not this pregnant, fragile human. All week she'd looked for me and tried talking to me. Why she was being so nice, I had no idea.
Amelia sat down beside me silently and stared at the roaring waters. Dark clouds covered the sky once more with the threat of rain. She turned to me and smiled. A gesture I could return with the ache in my heart.
"Edward," she whispered. I remained silent. Her mind was a little hard to read but I've met many like that. It was nothing new. "You shouldn't be so sad." Her voice was gentle and careful, like she cared for my feelings. Heck! She hardly knew me, so why would she care. No one has ever cared. No one…except… Bella. "You should know that the Mistress Isabella wouldn't want you to be like this."
I frowned and tried not to get mad at this gentle human. "How would you know? You haven't even met her."
Amelia's smile seemed to grow wider. "Oh, but I have Edward." She tucked her feet underneath her and she laid a hand on my shoulder. "I have dreamt of her so many times in my dreams. She has fed me with so many memories of the two of you, the love that the two of you shared; her very thoughts Edward." The pregnant woman paused and laid her other hand gently on her stomach. "She wants you to have faith. It hurts her to see you like th-"
Suddenly, Amelia's eyes grew wide and she gasped. My black mood was swept away like a gale and I was clutching her shoulders. "Amelia? Amelia! Are you alright?" She looked down at her stomach and gasped again in sheer agony.
"E-Edward…m-my baby!" her eyes rolled into her head and she shrieked.
Then, the small hit me… blood. Amelia was giving birth. In a slight panic, I picked the woman up and ran at the speed of light back to the castle and burst through the doors. "Carlisle! Carlisle! Jacob! Help me! Amelia is about to give birth!" Immediately my entire family was down and led me to the room where Amelia was meant to stay in. She screamed again as Jacob burst through the door.
"What's happening!" he demanded as he rushed to his love's side. "Amy, baby. What's wrong?"
Carlisle put a hand on his shoulder and moved him out the way. "Nothing is wrong, Jacob. She's in labor. Your child is about to be born."
Jacob nodded silently and moved aside as Carlisle prepared to receive the child. Jacob stood beside me, shaking slightly and like Carlisle I laid a hand on his shoulder. "She'll be fine Jake. She's a strong woman." He nodded again and I sighed. "I'm sorry Jacob. This is my fault. I shouldn't have left, otherwise she wouldn't have come looking for me."
"No, Edward," Jacob shook his head and smiled slightly. "It's not your fault. Amelia just can't keep still. And with her dreams of Bella…" he trailed off as Esme, who was helping Carlisle, shooed us out the room.
As the doors were about to close Carlisle shouted to Esme. "I see the head!" And that's when the scent hit me, hit all of us and everything froze.
"B-but that's impossible," I muttered and turned to Jacob. He looked right back at me and we pushed our way back inside the room and shut the door. Jacob was at Amelia's side as she screamed while pushing her child out. But all I could do was stare into Carlisle's back as the scent grew stronger and stronger. Freesias. The screams of a crying baby shook the room, shook me out of my daze and I stumbled forward. The child now in Amelia's arms had the scent of Bella. My Bella. And she stared back at me, not with the normal blue eyes for a new born child, but a bright shade of violet and lilac.

So there is the epilogue. I hope it was ok. And I apologize if it was rather disappointing.
I'm not sure I want to write a sequel to this story, but tell me if you think otherwise. If I do decide to write one, it might take me forever and a day. (Don't eat me…please?)
Thank you very much for reading my story! I love you all for sticking with me for this long. And if it's not too bold…please go read my other stories!
Thanks a million!
