Those of you who follow me on twitter know just how crazy my life has been lately - ANYWAY... this epilogue will have two parts. Here's part one. Twilight belongs to Stephanie Meyer.

5 Years Later – A glimpse of the future

"Can you fix my tie, babe?"

I smiled as I fixed my shoes. Jasper was hopeless with ties, which was why I knew exactly how to fix one.

I stepped out of the bathroom and smiled. Jasper looked so handsome in a tux. He grinned as he saw me.
"Babe, you look…incredible…"
"Thanks. Gosh I'm so nervous. What if everything doesn't go perfectly? They're going to hate me forever…"

Jasper laughed as I finished up, taking my face in his large, soft hands.
"Alice…they both hate you already. They want this day over. They wanted an appointment at City Hall, not a huge white wedding".
I sighed, leaning in to kiss him.
"Bella is impossible. I want them to be able to tell their kids about this one day, not that Mommy and Daddy signed a boring piece of paper in a boring stuffy City Hall office!"

"Which is why your parents will love you forever, even if Bella and Edward never speak to you again." Jasper smirked, sitting on the bed to put his shoes on.
"You're so mean. I'm gonna barf, I'm so nervous."

"Everything's gonna be fine, sweetheart."

A&J

I felt like I was going to faint the entire way through the wedding – Bella's nerves were contagious, and it wasn't until the reception that I started feeling better. They were both very relaxed now that the scary wedding part was actually over, and Edward approached me with the biggest grin I'd ever seen on his face.
"Ok, ok, you were right."
"I usually am."

He wrapped his arms around me, kissing the top of my head.
"Hey! Watch the hair…"

He chuckled. 5 years on, I was healthy and still getting semi-annual check-ups, but I'd not grown my hair back. It sat close to my head, spiked out in every direction. I'd decided with Jasper not to grow it back out – he liked the sexy bed-head-morning hair I always sported and I was more than willing to leave it that way for him.

A few minutes later, there was a hand on my back and Edward smiled.
"I guess I should find my wife. She's all yours, Jasper."

His arms enveloped me and I breathed in his scent.
"You did it."
"Yes, I did."
"Still wasn't as good as wedding…"

He kissed my neck as I looked to the ring that sparkled on my finger. So far it had been the best 6 months of my life, and I knew Jasper felt the same way. My heart started to race as his hands travelled lower.
"Hey…none of that here…my parents are watching…" I whispered, catching my Dad's eye.
"They wouldn't be if we snuck off to the bathroom…"

I pulled away and swatted his chest.
"I am not sneaking off from my brother's wedding to have icky bathroom sex! You know how I feel about bathroom sex…"

He chuckled, grabbing my hand and kissing it.
"Oh I know. You're so easy to tease."
"You're going to pay for that later…"

A&J

Emmett had married Rosalie just after I was finished my treatment, and they'd had their first child two years ago, a boy called Matthew Eric Cullen. I adored having a nephew and so did Jasper, we'd talked about kids and the possibility of them in the future, but my Dad had warned me that after such extensive treatment the chances of me being able to conceive were slim.

Bella had discovered she was pregnant a month before the wedding, and to know that I was going to be an aunt for the second time made me so excited. I was hoping for a little girl this time so that I'd be able to go nuts on the shopping front.

"Why can't you be just as excited for another boy?" Jasper asked as we drove back to our apartment after an evening at Rose and Emmett's.
"Uggs, Jasper. Uggs."

"Ugg?"
"Uggs. You know, the boots I have in just about every colour that you don't like?"

Jasper chuckled. He hated my love of Uggs, but as I tried to explain, Jimmy Choo's were not comfortable every single day.
"They make those things for babies?"
"Yes, and they're super cute."

Jasper groaned.
"Of course they are."

"Plus it'd be nice to have one of each, a nephew and a niece."

A&J

"It's going to be so nice having everyone under one roof." My mum smiled, handing me another bauble. We were celebrating Christmas with Jasper's parents, Bella's Dad and my parents, and each of us and I was so excited.

The house was almost completely decorated by the time Jasper arrived with Rose and Emmett. I was exhausted and his embrace was comforting.
"The place looks great. Rose is going to help Esme with the dinner, you want to watch a movie in the family room?"

Jasper picked The Holiday for us to watch, and a few minutes into the film Edward and Bella appeared.
"Hey, mind if we join you?"
"Not at all, how're you doing?"

Bella smiled, taking my hand and placing it on her expanding belly.
"It's kicking."

"She's kicking." Edward smirked.

He's kicking." Bella corrected.

Jasper chuckled.
"You two are never going to make it until the birth to find out the sex of the baby."
"Not with Alice's freaky ability to predict the future."
"Edward just because I guessed Rose was having a boy doesn't mean I'm psychic."
"Whatever, weirdo."

We slept at my parents' house that night and then planned to spend the day with drinks and presents. It was already very light when I woke up, with the feeling of Jasper's fingers running through my hair.
"Mm, that feels nice."
"Yeah, sleepyhead?"
"Mhm, what time is it?"
"Almost 11. Even Emmett's awake." He smiled, kissing my forehead.
"Oh my gosh what's wrong with me?" I giggled, sitting up and yawning as Jasper kissed me more passionately.
"Morning."
"Mmm, morning. You think we could pretend I'm still asleep for the next fifteen minutes?"

"Absolutely." Jasper chuckled, cupping my face in his hand as he came under the covers with me again.

A&J

"You've been awfully quiet today."

I was out on the porch, relaxing after our Christmas dinner when my mom arrived with two steaming cups of cocoa.

"Just tired. Thanks." I took the cup, cradling it in my hands and soaking in the smell of chocolaty goodness.

"I've never known you to sleep for that long unless you're unwell. Are you sure you're feeling alright?"

"Alice?"
"Hmm?"
"Did you hear a word I just said?"

"Alice…it's not normal for you to be this tired, not with the amount of sleep you're getting at the moment."

"Alice?"
"Sorry…"

I felt my anxiety levels start to rise I tried to focus on the questions Dr. Young was asking me. "Have you felt unusually tired lately?"

I couldn't focus on anything else she was saying as I practically threw the cup from my hands and disappeared inside the house.
"Jasper? Jasper!"

No.

He appeared from the kitchen, Edward's head poking out as well.
"What is it?"

No.

I could feel my hands shaking as he came towards me. I latched on quickly and took him upstairs. I could feel the bile rising in my mouth as I reached the bathroom. I knelt by the toilet and tried to control my breathing.
"Alice?"

No. No. No.

I shook my head, willing myself not to throw up. Jasper's hand rubbed gently over my back.
"Talk to me…" He murmured, his brows knitting together.

My voice caught in my throat as my eyes locked with his.

"It's back Jasper. The cancer's back."
