Epilogue:

Charlie ended up grounding Bella, which hadn't really been a big surprise, Edward was allowed to visit but his time was moderated. I, however, was free to come and go as I pleased. For some unknown reason, Charlie had developed a fatherly relationship with me and he considered me Bella's best friend.

He'd asked me once whether I had known that Edward and the rest of the family were returning when he'd spoken to me, whilst I had been here before. I was honest with him and told him that, at that point, there had been no plans for the family to return.

Edward, had been relieved that Bella could not come to the house at first, Emmett's retaliation for the TV had caused a huge mess in the house and it took a while to get things back to normal. Although Edward had destroyed the first thing he had come in contact to out of pure anger, Emmett's TV, Emmett was a lot more methodical. He'd smashed Edward's piano to pieces and dragged the bare carcass of it up to Edward's room.

Esme had not been happy about that, but when it came to the boys, she usually let them fight it out amongst themselves. Within a week I had replaced the TV and the piano, and the showdown that had happened between Edward and Emmett when he returned home was never to be spoken of again.

Everything was back to normal now, except poor Bella's grades, whilst in Italy she had missed a calculus test that had brought her average down. It wasn't good and looked as though it may hinder her from graduating. I had tried to talk Edward into convincing the teacher to change it and let her retake the test but, Edward, being Edward, decided if she had to repeat the year it would give him more time. So I stepped in and was able to get her a second chance.

Edward, had very unromantically proposed to Bella the night of the vote. I had seen it that night. I was furious at him, as soon as he had gotten home I had cornered him and explained, as nicely as I could, that proposing to a girl as an ultimatum wasn't the best way about getting a yes. He looked remorseful so I let it go, but not without promising me that he would do better the next time.

In his jealousy Jacob Black had effectively gotten Bella an extended sentence, he had taken the motorcycle that she had bought to her house for Charlie to see. And then waited in the woods for Bella and Edward to arrive. He had then threatened them with the treaty. Edward had told me of the thoughts that Jacob had running through his head, as he remember what Bella had been like after he'd left. It was a cruel thing of Jacob to do, but I was sure that Edward had finally understood. This was of course aided by Charlie who continually thought of that first week whenever Edward was around, simply because he feared it would happen again.

Victoria had yet to make another appearance since we had arrived home. I took this as good news. Perhaps she'd gotten the hint. I wasn't sure because I couldn't really see any decisions she made, purely because she seemed not to be making any. I had decided that she had probably continued on in her existence on her pure instincts.

Jasper continued his studies on philosophy at Cornell but through correspondence. He was still top of his class. Some things never changed.

A/N: I know short . . . very short!

I just wanted, more than anything, to let you know what Emmett had done and why they were too late. :)

Ok so I cannot for the life of me figure out how to use the poll thingy, so if you could let me know which you would prefer as the title of Alice's version of Eclipse I would Mucho appreciate.
