10 Years Later
Bella POV
It's been ten years since all that trouble with Edward and I found out that I'd just used too much of my energy. Peter and I are now married and we have two beautiful daughters named Stephanie who's 3, Anna who's 7 and my gorgeous baby boy named Benjamin (Ben for short) he's only three months but I can feel the strength of his element I know it's spirit we share dreams and we can talk to each other without speaking. Ben looks just like Peter dark hair bright blue eyes and his smile reminds me of the first smile Peter ever gave me, the only difference between Peter and Ben is that their personalities. The girls are both extremely alike: they both have fiery red hair, pale complexions and the only difference between them is Anna has my green eyes and Stephanie has Peter's blue eyes and Stephanie has a black streak running through her hair. They have both shown signs of elemency. Anna has the ability to control the winds and Stephanie the earth. Their mark appeared when they turned two and their powers at three Stephanie has just discovered hers and was a little startled when she was playing in back and said she was going to move a rock and as she said it, the rock moved of its own accord. It was very funny for us that day Ben let out his first laugh it made me cry out of happiness. I have a family and I feel like I belong.
I love Peter more than anything and I wouldn't change a thing. Edward has finally forgiven himself for going physco on us and we're now good friends he's recently found a lovely young lady friend named Sophia who's from Greece she has brown eyes and black hair and adores my children. They often babysit when Peter and I have a romantic night out. I think Edward is heading in a good direction and I'm so glad he's finally happy, I have a feeling they'll be happy for a long, long time so no worries there.
We live in my grandmother's house and the people of Forks have accepted me into their community at last. The guys in La Push come over too they seem to find it amusing being babysitters for a few hours but I think that's just to keep me sweet but I don't mind anything to belong right? I still do the occasional boxing I left after they wanted me to take it up professionally but then I was married so now I fight with Emmett who never gets bored of it. I got a job as a journalist and Peter is in Seattle medical school training to be a doctor, which means sometimes he's away for a few days at a time but my job allows me to work at home most days but when I do have to go into I either take Ban in with me and leave the girls to be watched by Sophia and Edward or the pack look after them all.
Overall my life is a joy and I regularly get phone calls and emails from my mother we became a lot closer since she showed up here. We sometimes visit Volterra and they us and its nice. Felicity is in love with her nephew and nieces so she comes and visits us regularly. Nothing else is bad. I see my grandmother sometimes in my dreams when I enter the elemental realm she's happy and with my dad and granddad I was so happy to meet my dad even though it's for a short time it's enough for us to get to know each other. Everyone is so kind and Forks does accept me, and even Jessica and Lauren who hated me at school get on with me now.
This is my life and my duty to protect my family and friends and to give them all of my love.
