A/N: Because this is Bella's story, I've finished with her and Edward. Here it is, at last – the final part of Shattered Sunrise.
How about if every person who reads this – I mean, after all, you've read the whole story – leaves me a review to let me know what you think of the story as a whole, now it's finished…? It would be really nice to hear from as many of you as possible.
P.S. I've worked out how to use the line dividers. Go me!
Epilogue
"How are you feeling about tomorrow?" I craned my face up to Edward's, seeking a kiss, and he obliged me before answering.
"I can't wait," he replied.
"Actually, he's terrified." I gave a start at Alice's voice, snapped my head around to see her peering around the door with a grin.
"Get out of here, Alice," Edward growled.
"No, wait." I smiled up at him. "Why's Edward terrified, Alice?"
"Alice," he warned her.
"Edward," I mimicked. Then I cocked one eyebrow. "Unless you'd rather tell me yourself?"
Jasper's head appeared next to Alice's. "He'd rather not tell you, either way," he informed me with a grin.
"What is this, City Central?" Edward rolled his eyes.
"It's not like you were doing anything." Emmett appeared. "Everybody knows you're a prude, Edward. Ouch! Rose," he complained.
"Sorry about the idiot, Bella," Rosalie apologized as she too came into Edward's room.
"That's all right." I'd never quite appreciated just how much fun Rosalie could be until recently; I still wasn't sure when we'd started getting along, but I wasn't going to complain. "Have you any idea why Edward's scared of marrying me?"
"Bella!" Edward groaned.
"Hey, Edward, isn't she going to be promising to obey you tomorrow?" Emmett asked with a grin.
"Emmett Cullen, stop that!" Rosalie snapped.
"Yes, ma'am." Emmett's impression of a submissive, down-trodden husband was somewhat spoilt by the grin. "Of course, ma'am." Rosalie sighed.
"Don't worry, Bella, we crossed that one off," she told me. "It isn't mandatory."
"Thank you so much, Rosalie," Edward remarked icily.
"Edward's getting annoyed," Alice sang. "Come on, let's go. They won't be able to see each other most of tomorrow before the wedding."
"They'll see enough of each other afterwards, won't they?" Emmett snickered. "Ow! Rose, what was that for?" Their voices faded down the corridor, and I rested my cheek against Edward's chest with a giggle.
"Promise me something, Bells?" My fiancé lifted my blushing face with one finger under my chin. "Beat him at arm wrestling at least ten times when you're a newborn."
"If I promise that, will you tell me why you're nervous about tomorrow? And don't try to get round it by dazzling me," I told him as his face began to descend towards mine.
"I love you Bella." I shook my head stubbornly, and he sighed. "Do you want –"
"Edward," I complained, tilting my head to one side in my best imitation of Rosalie, "Stop that."
"All right, all right." I was almost undone by that crooked smile, but stood firm and he continued. "I might possibly be a little bit nervous…just slightly…because Callie and Jacob are coming tomorrow. Along with two packs of werewolves."
I thought we'd already been through this. If there was one thing I would argue with Edward for, it was the matter of the werewolves attending our wedding. Callie was a member of the family now; Jacob had been my best friend, and the pack had been our allies twice now. The treaty had been abolished, and we were all spending this evening – the night before our wedding – down at the beach at La Push. Mom, Charlie and I were going to be the only humans there this time.
We'd come full circle; so long ago, it seemed, that I had sat with Jacob beside that first bonfire when he told me the Quileute stories that had changed my life. "So…?"
"So…I have no idea what's going to happen tomorrow. Alice can't see anything," he explained worriedly. "I don't know if anything's going to go wrong, or what you're going to do, or –"
I pulled his face down to mine, stopped the flow of words with a kiss. "Good," I murmured against his lips. "Now you know how I feel most of the time. Why do you think I'm keeping Callie around?"

White Wolves
Complementary to Shattered Sunrise, the story of Dewayne White's pack; spanning 24 years, told from various points of view as different characters become the focus of the story; their triumphs, tragedies and the loves that hold them together throughout.
Arguing with Edward
Edward Cullen can hear voices – and he's not telepathic. Branded insane by all who know him, what happens when he spends the summer away from home? A fresh start…can he keep his alter-ego under wraps, or will it all go wrong for him and his new friends?
