11 – Epilogue
Bella
I took Jacobs hand unclamping his fingers, his hand facing palm up.
"Go home Edward," he said smugly. I heard Edward take a deep breath and step forward. I turned round to see Edward fist flying into Jacob's face. I heard a crunch, that was no doubt a broken nose. Edward all but ran out of the church.
Jake leaned back into Mike, for a second before standing up straight. I smiled at him as I slipped my engagement ring off my finger. "I'm sorry Jake," I whispered, so quietly that he was the only one who heard. I place the ring on his palm and closed his fingers around it.
"If you leave now, there's no coming back. When he leaves you-."
"That's the thing," I started, backing up towards the church doors. "He won't." I pivoted on my heel and ran out open church doors to see Edward's just about to get into his car. "Edward!" I cried. He turned and looked up at me, tears still in his eyes. He didn't smile. He didn't even say anything. He just stopped, looking at me as if I were an angel, that it was impossible that I was there. "Edward," I yelped again, running over to him, pulling up my wedding dress as I ran, making sure I didn't trip up.
Edward slammed the car door shut and took hesitant steps towards me. But, me being me, I fell. That's why I don't wear high heels. Edward caught me just in time so I didn't get hurt. He pulled me to him, but let go of me immediately. I could see in his eyes that he wasn't sure what to make of me being out of the church.
"Are you still...?"
"No."
"So you're not...?"
"Marrying Jacob? No."
"So I can...?"
"Be with me? If you want," I muttered.
Edward laughed. "You really need to stop interrupting me Bells. That wasn't what I was gonna say," he informed me, running his hands though his hair.
"What were you going to say then?"
"I was going to ask whether I could do this," Edward broke of his sentence abruptly as his pulled me to him, latching his lips onto mine. His lips were soft and sweet with a hint of salt which was most likely from his tears.
His lips devoured mine as he pressed his tongue against my bottom lip, running it back and forth, begging for permission. I parted my lips letting his tongue slip between my teeth into my mouth. It curled and danced around mine, exploring every crevice of my mouth until we had to break away for air.
"Can I do that now when ever I like?" he panted, resting his forehead against mine.
"When ever you like," I whispered.
He brought his lips back to mine for a tender, loving kiss that made me weak at the knees. I heard an applause and a cheer coming from behind us and I turned to see that almost the entire church had come out and had been watching us. I turned bright red when I saw Renée, realising she must have seen the hot, deep, passionate kiss from before. She just smiled and waved. I could see all the Cullens, standing at the front, holding hands with their lovers. Carlisle just looked at me and gave me a cheeky wink and a grin before telling everybody the show was over but to feel free to go have lunch since it was already paid for.
When most people had cleared my new family came rushing over along with Renée and Phil. Emmett came up behind us and whispered something into Edward's ear that made him flush a deep red, something I'd never seen him do before. He peered down at me and smirked. I looked over at Emmett, trying to decipher what he could have possibly said.
"What did he say?" I uttered to Edward.
"Nothing that I don't already know," he answered. Everybody said their congratulations apart from Alice who stood, hands on hips at the back.
"You didn't tell me?" she growled. "Why not?! I could have got you two together a long time ago if you'd fucking told me!"
"We're sorry Alice," Edward chuckled, wrapping an arm around my waist, pulling me even closer to his body.
Alice gave him and unimpressed look before says in a very Alice like way, "You know, I was thinking about baby names..."
Typical Alice.
Two months later...
Me and Edward lay in bed, hot and sweaty after our daily exercise. He was running his hand though my hair, staring deeply into my eyes; Into my soul. He was everything I could ever want, and more!
I breathed in deeply, taking in his musky, masculine scent and rested my head on his sweaty, heaving chest. "I love you," I sighed, closing my eyes and thinking about how lucky I was and how glad I was that I'd made the right choice.
"Bella?"
"Mm?"
"What would you say if I said I wanted you forever and ever?" he whispered.
"I'd said, 'well thank fuck.'"
"What would you say if I said that I wanted everybody to know you were mine. From the mad cat lady across the road to the guy who sells bread in the bakery to the old granny who you fought for the last tin of beans," he chuckled.
"It was one time..."
"What would you say though?"
"I'd ask you why you were beating around the bush and not just asking me," I answered, sitting up and straddling his hips. I brought my face down so my lips were just hovering over his. "Go on. Ask me. Say it."
"Marry me Bella," he breathed, moving his hands from my hair to my waist. "Marry me. Carry my children. Grow old with me. Love me, Bella."
"Hmmm..." I said in a teasingly playful way. "I don't know about the last one, but I'll give it was shot..."
"Is that a yes?" He enquired, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"No. That's a 'did you even have to ask?'!" I exclaimed. Edward quickly rolled us over, causing me to yelp in surprise. Edward kissed me like he never had before, deeply, yet sweet and loving. He pulled away and whispered against my lips, "Mrs. Isabella Cullen. Do you like the sound of that?"
"Beats Swan," I giggled, suddenly so cheerful I could barely contain it. I kissed Edward again but, half was through the kiss he just froze. "Edward? What's wrong?"
"Nothings wrong... per se. We just had sex..." He stated, his eyes wide.
"Yeah..."
"With out a condom..."
"But with the pill," I responded.
"When you were ill, they gave you medication to treat it, right?" he questioned. I nodded. "And would I be correct when saying that the treatment would stop the pill from having effect?"
I thought for a second then I realised he was making sense. The pill wouldn't have worked. I could have been pregnant. "Oh god... Please don't freak out on me. Please?" I pled. I'd known men who'd left women after finding out they were pregnant, even after months.
"Freak out? Why would I freak out this is... it's.... great! I couldn't be happier!" He cheered. "Did I not just say I wanted you to carry my babies?"
"Yes, but-."
"But nothing Bells. I love you more than anything in this world. I wouldn't care if you'd got pregnant that first time we were together. I'll stick with you through it all. I want to be with you forever and a child will only give me one more thing to love," Edward explained, moving a hand down to my abdomen. "If theirs a baby starting to grow in there, there's no way in hell that I don't want it. But if you don't want it, then I'll happily wait."
"I want a baby, with you, I don't care when."
"Then lets do it, lets have a baby Bella," he cried, placing kisses all over my face.
"And if I'm not pregnant?"
Edward ran his hand up my naked thigh causing me to shudder in delight and pleasure. "I'm all for having another shot at it now, just in case."
I laughed and kissed him gently. "I'm ready when you are."
Eight months a week later...
Me and Edward just arrived home from the hospital, the others were rushing over to see the babies. None of them had seen them yet, they'd been out of the country on holiday and I'd been unable to fly. No matter how much I refused, saying I could stay with Angela, Edward wouldn't leave me. Which was a good thing since I gave birth three weeks early.
We'd had three children. Jasper-Emmett Cullen. Carlisle Jr. And Rosalie-Alice. Jasper-Emmett and Rosalie-Alice was because we lost a bet. Carlisle Jr. Was because of how much Carlisle had helped. He'd stopped the original wedding just in time to stall and have Edward arrive. He changed the policies on dating Co-Workers, just as long as it was strictly professional during work hours, he was fine with it. He'd also bought our house, all the stuff for the nursery and paid for our wedding.
But still, back to the point. Three. Bloody. Babies! We had only been told we were having two, a boy and a girl, but Edward has somehow managed to get me three times more pregnant than the average girl. I almost scoffed recalling when he'd said a child would give him another thing to love. A. There was only so much love one man could have.
But Edward adored them. He was fascinated. It was kind of cute/funny to watch. He'd sing to them, feed them and change their nappies which most guys would never do. He was a natural father and if it was possibly, it made me want him even more and made my love for him even stronger.
Edward was bathing Carlisle Jr. (it was weird when I'd accidentally once said that I gave Carlisle a bath, Edward had teased me relentlessly for it, so we'd taken to either calling him Jr., Carl, Carly, bubba or Mini C) I was sat in the living room watching the babies when the guys turned up.
"Where are the hubba bubbas!?" Emmett yelled, bursting into the house. I knew I'd regret giving him a key, I thought.
"Shhh, you'll wake them you douche!" I hissed, glancing over my shoulder at them. I saw Carlisle and Esme first. They kept on saying to the others that, as the grandparents they had the right to see them first. Carlisle gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek before even turning to the babies. Esme did the same, but looked at the babies the entire time going, "Aww look at them! They're adorable!"
Carlisle was just gazing down at them with a mix of wonder, love and amazement.
"I want you to meet Jasper-Emmett Cullen," I said gesturing to him, Emmett and Jasper high fived and came closer to the babies. He was the chubbiest of the pair with wisps of bronze hair on his head. His eyes brown like mine. "And Rosalie- Alice." She was the smallest out of the three and already had a head of beautiful brown hair. Her eyes were the same colour as mine, too. Carly was a miniature Edward with lots of bronze hair and vivid green eyes.
"Bella, where are the towels?" Edward called.
I walked over to the bathroom door and said quietly so I didn't wake to babies, "Where they usually are." Edward opened the door slightly and popped his head out.
"You have to remember that you don't really give me a chance to use towels, or want to. So why should I know where they are?" Edward said smugly, a smile creeping onto his face.
I tried to shrug what he'd said off with an eye roll but I could feel my face getting hot. "Under the sink."
"Thanks love." He kissed my lips swiftly and went back into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him.
I walked back over to the others and saw them all crowded around the crib. I walked over to Emmett who was at the back because of his height. "Please don't tell me Edward was naked in there?" He whispered.
"Nope. You'll see what in a minute," I replied peering up at him. I saw, to my amazement, his eyes were wet with tears. "You're welling up Emmett!"
"No I'm not," he insisted, raising his hands to his eyes and wiping away the the tears that were near to falling. I gave Emmett quick embrace before Edward walked out the bathroom carrying Jr.
"Oh, hey. Didn't hear you," he said as he strolled over to me. Emmett stared. Nobody was paying attention to Edward.
"And that's another baby... What are you Edward? Sperm king?" Emmett snickered, approaching Edward. Edward looked almost wary and held Carly closer.
"I never noticed how big you were before..." He mutter to Emmett.
Emmett scoffed. "That's what they all say."
"Hey! No sexual innuendo's around the babies please," I groaned, taking holding out my arms to hold Carly. Edward handed him over carefully. Carly was looking up at me with big green eyes, his hair was slightly darkened because of the water. His cheeks were flushed red.
"Meet Carlisle Jr." I said to Emmett, rocking Carly back and forth.
"What? Carlisle got the name of the baby to himself? He isn't even the last in a double name!? You two have no idea what a good name is..." Emmett huffed, folding his arms over his chest. "Can I hold him?"
"Actually, I think Carlisle should hold him first," I told him, saying Carlisle louder than the rest of the sentence to get his attention. He turned and stared at me – well, Carlisle Jr.
"Three babies?" Everybody else turned to us now and saw Jr.
I nodded. "This is Carlisle Jr." Carlisle's gaze met mine, his eyes wide in surprise, a bit like the baby in my arms. "Wanna hold him?" I asked Carlisle.
Carlisle, as if he were in a trance, shuffled his way over to us. I handed over Carly and studied Carlisle's reaction. Carlisle and Carly wore the same expression, wonder, admiration and astonishment. Carly stared at Carlisle with big, innocent eyes, reaching up to him with a tiny hand.
Everything was silent as we all watched the pair. Carlisle and Carly. They already seemed to like each other. Then Emmett happened.
"I dibbies hold him next," he cried.
"Damn."
When I was writing this, I was so tempted to have Carlisle say "I shall call him, Mini me," But I didn't feeling it was very Carlisle like.
Hope you liked it and felt it was a satifactory ending, if not, the endings Edward and Bella gets a divorce and Edward marries you instead. Or Carlisle. Or Emmett. Or Jasper. Or Rose, Alice or Esme if thats you're thing. Hell, have all of them if you want!
I want to thank you all for reading my fic. I want to thank every one who reviewed, subscribed, favourited, etc. Love you all. Hope you enjoyed it.
