A/N: Hey guys, you wanted an epilogue, so I'm going to try. I really hope it turns out okay.
BELLA
Things got better over the next four years. We decided to spend some time in Alaska with the Denalis. I was surprised at how welcoming they had been toward me. I thought for sure that would have a problem because I had taken Jasper away from Alice. That wasn't the case at all. They were just thrilled to see that both of us were happy. They considered me as much a part of their family as the Cullens did. For some reason, that knowledge made me feel so much better about everything that had happened.
Emmett and Rosalie postponed the wedding, one last time. We decided that we wanted to honor Alice and Edward with a memorial so all of their friends could say goodbye. Rose and Emmett decided to do it on the day they were supposed to get married. Rose said that it was the easiest thing considering that everyone was already invited and coming.
It was a very nice and beautiful day. Over one hundred vampires showed up. I hadn't realized until then just how popular the Cullens were in the vampire world. Specifically, Alice. It seemed that more than half of the vampires who showed up where there solely for Alice.
I decided, though, that it was a good thing that we were all vampires. Just about everyone insisted on speaking and the whole thing lasted a good twelve hours. It helped that we didn't need to eat, sleep, potty, or even move. Everyone spoke one right after the other without interruption.
Even every member of my family had to speak. I honestly can't remember much of what anyone said, though. I just remembered feeling sad, but at peace with everything. I didn't even feel guilty that day. It was strange, but something about that day just got rid of all the bad feelings.
Emmett and Rosalie did, however, finally have there wedding, four months later. And, just like in Alice's vision, the wolves showed up. However, it wasn't to attack. The came waving a white flag and everything. It would've been funny if we weren't afraid they were going to kill us all. In the end though, they just wanted to talk.
Jared, who had taken over as alpha, said that after a very long discussion with the Elders, it was decided that everything with Jacob was to be forgotten. The Elders realized that they had made some serious mistakes in that situation. Mistakes that costs them the lives of three of their own. The admitted to this mistakes and gaves a formal, written apology. Jared then informed us that they treaty was still inact and we could return to Forks at any time in the new or distant future. Jared them gave us the packs condolescenes. He informed us that the pack was terribly ashamed of their actions and hoped that we ccould all live in peace again someday.
Carlisle politely listened to every thing he had to say. And of course returned the gestured of apology. The whole meeting ended on an almost friendly note. We decided, though, that we wouldn't be going back to Forks or Washington, even, any time soon. There were just too many memories, good and bad. None of us wanted the constant reminders.
Jasper and I couldn't have been more in love. It was easier for us to be now. We both took Alice's words to heart and decided that we had nothing to feel guilty about. She wanted us to be happy, so that's what we were. Neither of us wanted to rush things, though.
I guess that's why it took us four years to get to the alter. Now, that we were finally here, I couldn't quite believe it. We had gone through so much pain and suffering that first year, it was hard to think that something good could come out of it. It was so hard to believe that I'd ever be happy again.
Still, here I was, walking down the aisle next to my father in front of my family and friends with Charlie, Alice, and Edward looking down on my, towards the man I loved. Toward my second chance at life, love and happiness. It was almost surreal for me. I never thought that we'd make it this far.
I should've known better than to bet against Alice.
A/N: I hope it turned out okay. I wasn't really sure about it. Let me know what you think.
