Mmm…I am so sad to see this whole story go. Edward, Bella, Annabelle, and Cameron have been such fun characters to write. As I said before, it was so great to see their characters and personalities develop into what they have become. I'm trying to work my hardest and get more of my stories done, but I know that I can't rush this kind of the thing. The next story I'm going to finish is 'In Search of Euphoria' and then I'm finally going to finish up 'Family Affair', which has been dragging on and on thanks to the terrible writers block I've been experiencing with that particular story line.

And once again, I need to thank all of you for your great reviews, inspiration, and words of support and kindness. 'My Love, My Life', got almost 2,000 reviews and this one has nearly 1,000. It means a lot to me that you are enjoying the story that I am writing, and it really pushes me to write more.

I would also like to let you guys know that I am temporarily deleting my stories 'Secret' and 'Protecting Us'. They will be back up eventually, but not until I get some of my other stories done.

"Her name is Isa Rosaline." Annabelle said softly, glancing up at Rosalie and Bella and smiling sweetly. "After Derek and I's mothers." Bella and Rosalie both smiled at her, obviously touched at her thoughtful and meaningful gesture.

"That's beautiful." I said, going up to my daughter's side and sitting on the hard plastic chair next to her hospital bed. "Can I hold her? Or are you not ready to let her go quite yet?" I asked, and Annabelle nodded quickly.

Careful to support Isa's head, she gently held the baby out towards me. "Of course you can hold her, grandpa." She said softly, and although I grimaced slightly at the term grandpa, I took my granddaughter and cradled her in my arms. Bella, who had taken Lily from me, came over to stand behind me, looking down at her namesake.

Bella then glanced over at Annabelle, smiling gently. "She's perfect, honey. Congratulations." Bella murmured, leaning across me and softly kissing Annabelle on the cheek. Cameron also got his chance to hold Isa, as well as Rosalie and Bella. Eventually, Annabelle was tired and wanted to see Tanya, Emmet, Carlisle, Esme, Caroline, David, Alice, and Jasper before she and Isa needed to get some sleep.

So we all said goodbye, giving the new mommy and her baby kisses and hugs, and promising to visit again in the morning before Cameron, Lily, Bella, and I had to catch our flight back to Seattle.

When we got back to the hotel, we spent Cameron to bed and then put Lily down before heading to our own room, stripping off our clothes, and stepping into the shower together. It wasn't really anything sexual- it was mostly just intimate and loving. "I don't know how I feel about showering with a grandfather." Bella teased, and I narrowed my eyes at her, lathering up shampoo in my hands and washing her hair for her.

"You're disgusting." I said as she stood on her tiptoes to get shampoo in my hair. "Besides, I'm only six years older than you." I reminded her.

Bella rolled her eyes, ducking her head under the stream of water to rinse her long hair out. "Yes, but my oldest child is only six years old." She said. "I'm quite a long way away from actually being a grandmother."

"So, are you telling me that you're not going to treat that little girl like a granddaughter?" I questioned her knowingly, and Bella hesitated. "See? Even though Anna is not your biological daughter, you treat her like one in every sense of the word. And that is just one of the things that I love about you." I said, lathering up more soap in my hands and washing her body.

She smiled at me and begun to lather soap up and wash me as well, her hands soft and gentle like always. "She's a fantastic girl." Bella said, smiling. "And I'm very glad that she's accepted me that way I've accepted her. And I know that she's going to be a wonderful mother…the way she is with Cam and Lily is just great." She continued as I motioned for her to turn around so that I could wash her back and lower half. "We have a pretty great life, huh?" She asked, and I chuckled.

"We sure do." I said, kissing her earlobe gently.

And we really did. I had a private practice now and worked there three days a week, and then worked one day a week at the hospital. Bella was writing more now, Cameron was doing great in school, and Lily was growing up way too fast for my taste, even though she was only two. My beautiful, happily married daughter had just had a daughter of her own, and although life was still moving pretty fast, things were working out perfectly for us.

I had the most beautiful, sweet, intelligent wife in the entire world, a good job, three beautiful children, and now a brand new baby granddaughter. I was only forty three years old and had never expected to be a grandfather this early, but still, I was happy. I've been with Bella for six years, and I had cherished every single moment.

And in the end, doesn't matter how many breaths I took. It was how many moments stole my breath away. And with Bella, each and every moment was breathtaking.
