Okay everyone this is the last chapter but there is an epilogue to follow!

I laced my fingers with John's trying to keep him calm. Rosalie was going berserk but no one but Emmett was really indulging her. I glanced at Carlisle and saw that he was growing very irritated with her for the second time today. John stayed mostly silent but jittery through her rant because he knew that a lot of the blame was truly on him. He just wanted her to stop yelling. He wasn't used to his new ears and the noise was bothering him. Her hostility wasn't doing much for him either.
"We shouldn't have to leave! You should have told Sam that you were already going to Russia and that this had nothing to do with us!" she yelled.
"Rosie we were going to have to leave this place eventually anyway. So we have to do it a few years earlier, no big deal," Emmett said massaging her shoulders. She wasn't buying it though and shrugged him off of her.
"Not a couple years! We still had a good five here! They didn't say we had to leave anyway. We didn't do anything wrong. They want to wage war then fine, we can take those fucking mutts. There are more of us anyway," Rosalie fumed.
"I'm not going to fight my nephew if I have a choice not to," John said.
I won't be fighting either," I added.
"Nor will I murder a bunch of teenage boys, Rosalie," Edward said. "You good and well know that you won't be doing it either. You're angry and that's understandable but now it's time to calm down and get to work. We've got 23 hours to pack up and be out of here," he continued.
"Even if you did decide to fight them the war would never end. As long as there are children born in La Push there will be wolves and they will have full access to all previous generations of packs' memories. They'll know about the treaty and how you decided to fight and then they will come to attack again," John said.
"You know what I would love?" Rosalie asked. "I would love it if you would just stop fucking speaking to me! This is all your fault and anything you have to add to the conversation will just make things worse!"
John sighed and shrugged his shoulders. Carlisle sighed as well and stood up from the couch.
"What we need to discuss is where we want to go," he said.
"Carlisle!" Rosalie seethed. "Are you seri…," she began but he cut her off.
"Yes I am very serious," he said calmly but there was a definite edge to his voice. "I get that you love it here but now we have to leave. You need to deal with that whatever way you can on your own because I'm not about to waste time listening to you whine. We have thirteen other homes in this country alone. If it makes you happy you can choose where we go next but I'm not going to sit here and watch you behave as a child. There isn't time and frankly it's extremely annoying," he told her.
Rosalie balled her fist and opened her mouth to say something but Esme made a small noise from where she sat on the arm of the chair Carlisle had just vacated. She had his immediate attention and glanced around nervously before settling her gaze on me.
"Well I was thinking maybe we could accompany you all to Russia. I mean Edward is going with Bella and let's be honest none of us are really happy with being separated from Bella or Edward," Esme said uncertainly. "I think it would be really nice for us all to live together for a while," Esme said.
The smile that covered my face threatened to split it in two, "Oh Esme! I think that's a great idea! We'll have to make some minor adjustments but our estate is definitely large enough to accommodate all of us," I exclaimed.
Alice screeched piercingly loud and launched herself across the room to hug Edward who already had Bella on his lap. Alice's impact caused all three of their bodies to collide resulting in a resounding boom loud enough to make the window tremble.
"I'm so happy! This is going to be perfect!" Alice giggled.
"I'm not living with that imbecile," Rosalie glared pointing at John.
"Oh come off it, Rose!" Irina exclaimed exasperatedly. "Why the hell are you so fucking in love with Forks anyway? It rains every damned day! I mean that has to be a hassle with your hair every day. Come to Russia where it's still cloudy but with significantly less rain," Irina said.
"No," Rosalie shook her head. "You all go to Russia. Em and I will head east to Maine. It's time for us to have a little quality time anyway."
"Sounds like a plan," John said with a smile. "How can I help you get there faster? Shall I help you pack?"
"Touch my things and I'll rip off your balls," Rosalie said through gritted teeth.
"Hey! Don't threaten my friends!" I exclaimed only half joking.
Irina, Kate, and Bella giggled as Rose growled and stormed off. Emmett sighed and turned toward the rest of the family rubbing the back of his neck.
"She'll calm down sooner or later," he tried to assure us but didn't sound so convinced himself.
"Please talk to her Emmett," Esme pled. "I'd really love it if we could all go to Russia together. People in love don't always think rationally. All John wanted was to be with Tanya and he did what he had to, to make that happen. You'll help her to understand that won't you," Esme asked.
Emmett smiled down at his adoptive mother and nodded his head before kissing her cheek. "I will," he said before turning and going up the stairs to join his enraged mate.
Carlisle sighed and turned to Alice. "I'm assigning you to clothes. We don't have much time so please only pack what is needed. Jasper, we'll need documents and I'm sure we don't have adequate time to obtain them so would you mind making them yourself?" Carlisle asked.
"No problem at all," Jasper said.
Carlisle finished delegating tasks to the rest of his family and my sisters went to help out wherever it was needed to move the process along.
"Can I help you with the documents Jas?" Bella asked but before he could reply Edward's arm tightened around her waist.
"I wanted you help me pack the books. We can start with the ones in my bedroom," he whispered but not low enough to stop everyone from hearing.
"Catch ya later, Jas," Bella said as she and Edward sprinted up the stairs.
"Edward we don't have time!" Carlisle futilely called after them. He sighed and shook his head. Grumbling to himself as he went to draft his resignation letter for the hospital. John was thirsty again so I accompanied him on his hunt to make sure he behaved. We were clearly already in enough trouble with the wolves. I couldn't risk him draining the town.

I closed the door behind us as Edward and I entered his room. He immediately grabbed my thighs and hoisted me up making me wrap my legs around his waist. I moaned throwing my head back as I felt just how aroused he already was. My hands flew to his hair, clutching the silky strands in my fists. He pressed my back against the door and began lavishing my neck with open mouthed kisses.
"We don't have much time baby," I murmured before bending my head and taking his earlobe into my mouth and biting down. Edward's hips bucked into mine and my panties grew impossibly wetter. I was surely soaking right through my pants.
"I just need to feel you come around me, baby," he said breathlessly into my neck grounding himself into me again making me whimper with need. "And that won't take me long."
I was practically salivating for Edward to make good on his promise. He had me on the bed and on my back in the next instant. We tore away each other's clothes with needy desperation. It had been a hell of a day and I just knew that Edward could and would make it better. I could feel the tension, fear, and anger falling away with every caress of his hands, lick of his tongue, and kiss from his lips. I writhed and moaned beneath him as he worshipped my body but I wanted more and he was quick to give it to me.
Edward thrust inside me slow, deep, and hard making me moan embarrassingly loud as my nails dug into his lower back trying to pull him in even deeper.
"So good," Edward groaned dropping his forehead down to mine. He kissed my lips as he pulled all the way out and came back again. He claimed to not need long to make me come and quickly proved his words true. He set a steadily building pace and I rolled my hips up to meet him thrust for thrust keeping up with increasing speed.
It was only mere minutes before my legs started to quiver and my breathing came in shallow erratic pants.
Edward pushed into me impossibly faster and harder making me cry out as he wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Fuck! Edward yes!" I screamed thrashing under him. I was so close and Edward knew it. His thumb found my bundle of nerves and my body immediately exploded around him. I shouted his name as I came harder than I ever had before.
"Damn Bella!" Edward groaned as my orgasm milked him of his. He clutched my body to his as he spilled into me. His hips continued to rock into me as we rode out our release together. Even after he stilled, my body still quaked and he peppered kisses on my face, neck, and shoulders stroking my thigh with his hand.
"So fucking good…love you so much…no one better…need you forever," Edward murmured against my skin until my body finally calmed.
"I love you too, Edward. So much," I finally said wrapping my arms around his neck before kissing his lips.

I couldn't bring myself to leave Bella's body after the most intense sex we'd ever had. I'd held onto her until Alice threatened to break down the door and pry us away from each other herself. When I eased myself from her, Bella gasped and whimpered making my dick twitch and long to bring her to climax again. It took every last drop of my strength not to do just that. Instead I kissed her one last time before leading her to the shower. We dressed quickly and then worked swiftly to complete the task Carlisle had assigned to me. By the time we had the house all packed and ready to go we had about 10 hours before the wolves returned. Shipping trucks came to pick up our furniture and store it in the house in Atlin while another came to ship our clothes and personal possessions to Russia and Maine.
"Please come with us, Rose," Esme tried one last time knowing that she would be turned down.
"We'll keep in touch okay," Rosalie replied giving Esme a hug and kiss on the cheek.
"…okay," Esme muttered in defeat.
Rose and Emmett said their goodbyes to everyone and we all wished each other a safe journey. They rode off in his jeep to the airport to catch their flight honking the horn as a final farewell. When we could no longer hear them on the road, John cleared his throat to get our attention.
"I just wanted to tell you that I really am sorry for all the trouble I've caused. I knew that Sam would be upset but I thought that if I just talked to him everything would be fine," he said. "I never meant to break up your family…," he continued before being cut off by Esme.
"John you didn't break up our family. Rosalie has always been very temperamental. She struggles with what we are and often takes time away from the family with Emmett. This has happened before and will happen again," she told him. "As for the trouble, we all caused it. If you apologize to us then we should apologize to you. The damage done to your relationship with Sam is far worse than what happened with Rosalie," she said.
John's shoulders dropped as he nodded his head. He had been trying to not think about Sam and the loss he was suffering. He hated the fact that things had turned out this way but he refused to believe that Sam was not capable of forgiving him. He planned to give his nephew some time and then contact him in hopes of a reconciliation.
"Our flight leaves in three hours. We had better start making our way to the airport too," Carlisle said taking Esme's hand.
"I am going to miss this place," Alice said glancing back at the huge white mansion that may never be our home again.
"Me too," I nodded.
Bella wrapped her arms around me and kissed my chest through my shirt. "I'm sorry," she lowered her shield to tell me. I kissed the top of head and reciprocated her embrace.
"As long as I'm wherever you are I'll be just fine," I replied. I led her to the Volvo as the rest of my family piled into their cars as well. Bella gave my knee a supportive squeeze as I started the engine. I took her hand off my knee and held it in mine after kissing the inside of her wrist. Carlisle and Esme started the procession followed by Alice and Jasper and then Bella and I as we left our past in Forks and moved toward our future in Russia.
