Here's the end. It's been a long road. Longer than you would believe.

My usual thanks are doubled since this is the last post. To everyone who has stuck with me over the last four years. To everyone who just discovered this story. To every view and review, both good and bad. It's meant a lot over the years; it's kept me going. I'm slow, but I never stopped thanks to you guys.

As far as future projects, I'm not finished writing yet. This story is officially done. I may post a few outtakes whenever they come to me, but for now it's complete. I have a few other stories I'd like to share on here, but I'm going to wait until I have them mostly written. I also have a story on Twlighted that is a few chapters away from being finished. Currently, I have no plans to cross post them. I'm under the same pen-name there as I am here and have another story lined up to post there as well.

The last thing I'd like to note - and hopefully it doesn't make me sound full of myself, - I have no plans of ever taking ANY of my fanfiction stories down to publish. I started writing these to help motivate myself and put myself out there. That is their main purpose. Like I said, I hope that doesn't make me sound full of myself, but since there's been loads of pulled stories lately, I wanted it to be known.

Every beginning has an end. But with every end comes a new beginning. Lots of love to all of you! I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry.

Epilogue: Dreams Come True

Love me tender
love me sweet
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete
and I love you so.

Love me tender
Love me true
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you
and I always will.

"Edward, I swear to God, if you don't stop speeding around those corners, I'm gonna throw up in your car."

"Sorry, love." Even with the blindfold I could tell he was smiling. He's been smiling and giggling like a little girl for the past week.

"Did the doctor give you anything to help?" he asked, still obviously smiling but sounding concerned as well.

"Um, no," I shifted in my seat. "She said I'd just have to wait it out."

"Wait it out? What kind of advice is that?"

He sounded so appalled with worry laced in between. It was times like these that I was reminded just how much he loved me; a bit over protective at times, but always out of love.

He'll be even worse once I tell him.

After getting sick for three days straight, Edward was finally able to talk me into going to the doctor. He couldn't come with me since he had to work, but he made me promise I would tell him everything when I got home.

When I did get home, he blindfolded me and practically carried me out to the car before I could really say anything.

That's Edward for you.

Edward quit working at the restaurant several months ago. When a job at the newspaper I work for opened up, I pulled some strings and got him hired. He now writes a weekly column on music and has gathered quite a fandom – mostly girls – that like to make themselves known every once and a while.

He's polite of course, but hardly looks at them as he introduces me as, "The love of my life."

That's my Edward for you and he'll be even worse once I tell him.

That is, if I ever get a chance to.

"Are we there yet?" I whined.

"Almost," he laughed.

"How much longer?"

"Just a few more minutes," he said, taking my hand. "Relax. Don't make yourself sick."

I almost laughed. I couldn't relax even if I tried. I was too excited to see how he would react and how he would be.

Jasper stayed the same, calm and mellow. And Emmett… well… Emmett was Emmett times two – if you can imagine that.

Alice had a baby girl they named Jazmine a little over a year ago. Up until the day she was born, Jasper still wasn't sure about using his name, but because he swears she already had Alice's pout, he gave in and instantly loved it.

Rosalie had twins, Forest and Lillian, five months ago. Alice is already planning Forest and Jazmine's wedding. She's sure she can see it and we never doubt Alice anymore.

Jake and I still talk constantly. We're just as much friends now as we were before I met Edward, thankfully. I didn't think it was possible for things to be like this between us, but looking back, this is all we ever were, all we were ever meant to be.

I wouldn't change anything that happened between us for the world. Those six months may not have been the easiest we ever went through but we've come out better because of them.

After Edward moved into my house, Victoria moved in with James and shortly after they left to get married in Vegas. James thought that since a quickie wedding worked for Edward and I, it would work for them. They've been married over a year now and haven't changed a bit – take that however you want.

Now they're trying to have a baby themselves. God help us.

I felt the car stop and could hear Edward fighting with his seat belt.

"Wait here," he said. "No peaking."

"Edward!" I yelled, but I was too late. The door on his side shut and within seconds my door was opened.

He leaned into the car and helped me out. "Follow me."

He guided me for what felt like several minutes; but really only one or two at most. I could hear the cars on the streets around us. I could smell nearby flowers. And when Edward wrapped his arm around my shoulders, I could feel his heart pound.

My heart, in turn, followed it's beat. The static and shock continued to run through my body as it has for two years now. I could even feel a slight flutter in my stomach. I knew it was far too early to be anything other than my own imagination; but it was the perfect reminder – as if I needed one – to how much I loved and needed the man beside me.

The wind seemed to wrap around us as we neared the large tree. It never failed, every trip I've ever made up here has given me a comfort I haven't felt since my parents died. Especially when I'm here with Bella; everything seems right.

It's hard to believe that only two years ago she wasn't in my life. I wasn't prepared for the devotion I would automatically feel for her. She is my only one.

That day in the alley seems so long ago. So much has changed. I knew instantly I wanted to give Bella a real wedding. I've spent the last several months trying to find the best way to ask her. It needed to be romantic; not like it was the first time.

When my parents anniversary came up, it dawned on me. I couldn't believe I didn't think of it before. I'd ask her to marry me in the same spot my father asked my mother. The same place I bared my soul to her. That was the night things undoubtedly changed for us. We wouldn't be here without it.

I lead her right under it's large branches; blocking her pale skin from the sun. She's been sick enough already.

"Bella," I whispered in her ear. "There will never be enough time to tell you how much I love you. With every second I am given with you, I will always want more; need more. I have spent my entire life waiting for you. I want to spend the rest of it with you."

I pulled away, laughing at her small pout and knelled.

"I love you more than anything." I reached up and pulled her blindfold off. "Will you marry me?"

Her eyes went wide before she tackled me, screaming, "Yes!"

I laid on the ground holding her close and kissing her. Uncontrollable giggles were coming from both of us; I'm not too ashamed to say.

She leaned on her elbows over me and gave me another quick kiss. "Just think, this time next year the three of us will be one happy family."

I loved the thought of that. Forever with Bella and...

Wait.

"Three?" I sat up, pulling her along with me.

She bit her lip and nodded. "Three."

Without a second thought, I pulled her lips back to mine and gently laid her back on the ground.

Her full laughs didn't stop me from running kisses down her neck, over her blushing chest, to the belly that held the other love of my life.

The perfect part of both of us.

Life can't get much better.
