Epilogue: I've Waited So Long

Jasper's POV

"Come on, Jade! Get down here, right now!" Bella yelled up the stairs of our own two story house just outside of Forks. "And bring Carson, too! You're going to be late for school!"

I doubt that was possible with the way Bella drove, but five minutes later, our two seven year olds, Bella, and I were driving down the highway. We dropped them off in the carpool line and waved goodbye.

Seven hours later, we picked them up and headed to Gianni's Studio to get a family portrait taken. Bella and I were standing next to each other, my arm wrapped around her waist, with Carson and Jade sitting in front of us, smiling widely. Jade had one of her front teeth missing, and Carson had his left eye tooth missing. They were toothy smiles, nonetheless, and I loved them.

We put it above our fireplace, and I gazed at it everyday. I was finally where I wanted to be. Just as I was thinking this, a football hit the side of my head.

"Carson! I thought I told you no playing ball in the house!" I yelled.

"It was Jade, Dad!" he yelled back.

I knew that he was probably telling the truth. Jade was such a tomboy. Carson would let her hang out with his friends, and they all looked at her like she was a goddess, even though she was only seven. Carson loved hanging out with his sister, most likely because of her love of sports.

I loved both of them very much, and I had grown to love Bella even more.

Annabelle and Edward got married the summer we had our children, and he changed her into a vampire. Bella and Anna could pass for twins. Edward and Anna decided they didn't want children, that there were plenty in the family.

Alice and Drew finally tied the knot, and they adopted a seven year old girl with light brown hair and hazel eyes. They wanted Jade and Carson to have another friend. Alice got the girly girl she wanted, and Drew got a money moocher, but he was perfectly content with that.

Chase and Vanessa adopted a two year old six years ago, so he was a grade above our kids. He loved hanging out with Jade, but they told him he was only to be her friend.

Emmett and Rose didn't want to adopt a kid that was not theirs, so they settled for babysitting a lot for us all.

Carlisle and Esme were glad that we all were happy and had families.

Bella came down while I was staring at our portrait once again and wrapped her arms around my waist. I kissed her temple and sighed.

God, I've waited so long for my happy ending. And here it was, yet it was just a new beginning.

A/N: GASP. It's over. I know. But I assure you that there will be a sequel, and I will be working on it very soon. The first chapter will probably be out by the end of the month. Thank you for reading!
