Return to Forks

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight.

Epilogue - 6 years later.

Bpov

It's been six years since I've married Edward. Six of the happiest years in my life. Edward and I started college that September. He studied music and now records his own music. We renovated the basement of our cottage and Edward turned it into a studio. He also produces music for a few quite well-known musicians.

I still dabble in music, but I studied English at college and now teach it at Forks High. I started taking night classes for a journalism course two years ago and have started writing a novel.

Edward got Esme to draw up plans to renovate our house … again to make it bigger. We added an extra floor and have a few guest rooms for visitors.

"Mama? Are Aunt Rose, Uncle Emmett, and Blake coming over today?" my baby girl asked me.

Did I mention that we have a daughter? Her name's Renesmee Carlie Cullen. Jake calls her Nessie and it kind of stuck. I still insist on calling her Renesmee because I will not have my daughter named after a mythical creature. She has my brown eyes and Charlie's curly hair. She has Edward's beautiful hair though. She's perfect. She's five years old and is incredibly smart. She has her father's interest in music and is often found cuddled on his lap in the studio.

Emmett and Rose have a son called Blake. He has the same shaped face as Rose but has Emmett's curly hair. He will have the girls waiting in line for him when he's older. He will be six later on this year. They also have a little baby girl called Melissa. She's eighteen months old. She's the image of Rose and is already a little stunner.

Alice and Jasper got married. Rose and I were bridesmaids, of course. They have a set of twin boys called Jack and Ryan. They're three years old and are quite a handful. They have Alice's pitch black hair but Jasper's blue eyes. They have Jasper's facial features.

Things between Edward and Jake have become better. I eventually explained to him that he was mistaken about Jake and that it was actually Sam. Jake has a huge amount of respect for Edward for helping Hayley. Their relationship has now progressed to a sort of friendship. Jake finally got into contact with Hayley and he helped her get over their ordeal. They've been married for two years and are expecting their first child in July.

Embry and Emma kept in contact after my wedding. Once Emma finished school, she moved over here and went to college. They became quite close and are getting married next Spring.

Aunt Eibhlin finally found a man. Billy Black. On one visit over, they got chatting, and now whenever she does visit, she spends half the time down at La Push. He's even gone to Ireland to visit her. We're expecting to hear wedding bells any day now.

I still see the rest of my family quite often. Not as often as I'd like, but what can be done about that? We rotate the holidays each year. One year we go over to Ireland for Christmas, the next they come over here. Edward, Renesmee, and I spend a month of our summer vacation in Ireland. We still e-mail and phone ach other regularly.

Things between Phil and Renee didn't work out. That's why he wasn't over that first Christmas I spent in America. Her and Charlie have been talking to each other regularly so watch this space …

Seamus married his childhood sweetheart and now has two lovely twin girls. Aodh is engaged to get married and also has a little boy.

"They're here. They're here," Renesmee called, jumping up and down. She's definitely Alice's niece.

Emmett and Rose pull up outside our house and guess who else was in the car, Alice and Jasper! Little Blake jumps out and comes running into our house. Jack and Ryan come toddling not too far behind him.

"Hi Auntie Bella. Where's Nessie?"

"I'm here," she screams and jumps over to him.

You'd think that they haven't seen each other in years when it was only a few days.

The gang would be staying for a few days. It's a good thing I thought to get all our guest rooms ready.

We decided that since it was such a good day that we would go outside for a picnic.

Blake, Renesmee, Jack, and Ryan were all playing "house" in her little Wendy house.

Emmett was cradling little Melissa on his arms as if she was the most breakable thing he's ever laid his eyes on.

"Isn't she just the most precious thing you've ever seen?" Emmett cooed at her.

"She's just like her mom," Jasper said.

"Oh my word! This is a total change of subject, but did you guys hear about Mike Newton and Jessica Stanley? You know, the one Edward used to date. She was supposed to be getting married to Mike but then a week before the wedding he comes home from work to find her in bed with, you'll never guess. Eric Yorkie!" Alice screamed.

There were several exclamations of shock and disgust from all of us.

"That is wrong in so many different ways," Rose stated.

"Yeah that's disgusting. Eric can do so much better," Emmett said.

We all laughed at that.

Before we knew it, it was time for the kids to go to bed. Once they were settled, we cracked open a bottle of wine.

"Would you like some, Lally?" Alice asked.

I'm surprised she still called me that. But I would have to refuse her. I wouldn't be able to drink for quite some time.

"Sorry Alice. I be sticking to water for the next few months," I said, winking to them all.

Alice, Rose, and Edward were the only ones to get what I meant. He simply smiled at me with raised eyebrows, and I nodded my head, giving him confirmation. He leaned over to me, kissed my lips and my stomach and stared into my eyes with his emerald eyes.

Alice and Rose squealed like little girls while Jasper and Emmett looked on confused.

"Would someone care to explain what the big secret is?" Emmett demanded.

"I'm pregnant, you oaf," I yelled at him.

Comprehension dawned on both their faces while Emmett narrowed his lips in an "o" shape before smiling at me and shaking Edward's hand.

"Congratulations, guys. Nessie's going to have a new brother or sister."

"How far gone are you Bella?" Jasper asked.

"I'm only two months gone yet, nearly three."

"Well that's really great, you guys. We have a real cause to celebrate now, except orange juice for you, Lally," Alice chirped.

I laughed and looked around at all my friends. My family. I loved them all so much and I can't believe I've been so lucky to be blessed with such a kind and caring husband, a beautiful and intelligent young girl, and amazing friends.

I put my hand to my stomach and think of the tiny baby growing inside of me. Once this little boy or girl was born, my family would really be complete.

Perfection.

Jasper, Maddy and of course my amazing Beta twilight-is-lovee. She's brilliant and has helped me so much while writing this.

This is my 2nd completed FF and I'm amazed at the feed back I got from all you guys. There will be no sequel because I really don't think a sequel is needed. If I started writing one I know it will be crap so I'm leaving it be.

I already have a new story up called If You Could See Me Now and the sequel to Wasted Time is also up. It's called A Distant Memory.

Okay so I'm going to go now because I'm absolutely frozen. I did a charity swim today and it was soooooo cold. Emma and I were some of the last people to come out which is a good thing because it's not really a swim more of a splash. Some people just walk in and then walk out again. Emma and I stayed in for over 5 minutes and we're so proud of ourselves. When we walked out I couldn't feel a thing. I couldn't feel my fingers and I knew I was walking on the sand but I couldn't feel it. Then when I started getting feeling back it hurt so much. I felt like I was burning. Yeah so now I'm sitting here on my sofa about 2 ours later still shivering lol. Okay so I really didn't see the point in telling all of you this.

Right I'm going to shut up now. Byeeee and please R&R and read my other FF. =]
