Well this is the end of Saving Me. I'm sad to see it end but happy that I completed it. I'm not sure what to say about the epilogue I suppose it's just some closure. It takes place seven years from the last chapter.

I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed! It really makes me feel good that so many people enjoy my work.

CelestialElegy: I really really thought about it but I don't think a human bella could stand up against a fairy like Sophia…However I might do some outtakes from this story and it would be in there.

If I do do outtakes they will be on my website not on this story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or the song I loved her first by Lonestar but I do own OC's.

Chapter 18: Miracle smiles up at you

From the first breath she breathed
when she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm going through
when a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first

-September 20th, 2014-

I was getting anxious. After seeing the 'Welcome to Washington' sign seven hours ago, I knew I was close to Forks. I was excited, it's been months since I've been here to visit. After leaving the state for college I managed to make it back once every couple of months to visit everyone. Of course I wasn't the only one who moved.

Gabriel, now 26, moved to Seattle for work; Allina and Sam, both 23, moved back to Minnesota about five years ago to go to college and got married last year; Zach, now 24, moved to Oregon and worked on ranch…he liked the cows…yeah….I wasn't even going to touch that one. Jamie, now 20, still lived with Loretta -who turned 14 recently- and their parents in Forks. He was attending college online much like Gabriel did. Loretta was on her last year of Middle School and found the children her age immature and annoying. This is coming from the person who still pulled pranks her brothers whenever they were home. Then again it is in her nature to do so, so who could fault her in that.

And Nikel…Nikel moved back to Minnesota as soon as he graduated, just like he planned to when he first to moved to Forks, while I stayed in Forks to go to a local community college. My father wasn't doing too well; he had had a heart attack a month before I graduated. He, thankfully, recovered. After about a year after Nikel moved it became just too hard to maintain contact through phone calls and emails. It wasn't working out with those means.

"Mommy, I want Wiggles." My daughter, Emma, whined. She wanted me to put The Wiggles CD in for her. She was obsessed with that show. I honestly didn't think I could stand listening to that CD again.

"No, Dora!" Her twin sister, Anika, cried out. It really didn't help that both three year olds, though twins, were complete opposites. Emma was blond with bright blue eyes and loved The Wiggles. Anika -on the other hand- had dark, dark brown hair and brown eyes. She hated The Wiggles and would only watch Dora. We always had interesting car rides.

"I wanna listen to death metal!" Luckily we were at a stoplight before I turned my head and just stared at my husband of four years, trying not to smile.

"Really, Nikel? Death Metal? We have two three year olds in the car and a sleeping baby. If you put that on and wake Drake up, I swear half that music name will be become your status and let me give you a hint it isn't the Metal part."

"Did Bella forget her happy pills at home?" He teased. I stuck my tongue at him in response and continued driving our Minivan onward towards our destination. Yeah, that's right we have a minivan. Of course Nikel and the other Cruor's called it the Crap-mobile since it was the worse vehicle they ever saw. Nikel still has a Mustang - the Aero stayed at his parents house-, but I won't let him take the kids for rides in it. I don't trust him that much. Immortal or not, those kids were not getting in the car with him. I was one of those nervous worrying mothers which was strange because my own mother wasn't really anything like that.

"There yet?" Anika asked her voice sounding so bored.

"Almost honey, are you excited?"

"Uncle Zach gunna be there?"

"Yep."

"Yay!" The girls were crazy about their Uncle Zach. Probably, because he was always buying them random expensive crap; he was as bad as their grandparents. My children were the most spoiled children in the entire world. It didn't help that their Cosmic Troublemaker side was already starting to show; which made everyone just so proud.

We finally entered Forks and began our drive down the long familiar driveway. The girls were bouncing in their car seats and Drake was wide awake babbling happily. Nikel's family hasn't seen him since he was six months old and he's grown a lot in the last five months.

I parked the van on the side the garage out of the way and with the help of Nikel we managed to get all three kids out of the car with minimal issues.

"Bella! Nikel!" Allina called out running over to us. I was practically tackled into a hug. Luckily I wasn't holding any of the children at that moment. She then went for Nikel who gladly returned the gesture.

I looked around, "Where did Anika and Emma go?" I bend down to pick up Drake who was trying to take a few steps away. He was just learning to walk and I didn't want him falling down outside.

Allina rolled her eyes, "Zach was standing in the doorway of the garage and waved them over. He has a surprise for them…and for Nikel. He says he'll pay to have them shipped to your house."

I groaned, I gave up long ago, "As long as it's not a car." I joked, laughing. I handed Drake over to Nikel who gladly took him. I could see Allina laughing about his hair. We had no idea where Drake got his hair. Sure it was brown like mine but it was always sticking up and there was nothing we could do about it. It looks like we spiked it up every morning.

Allina gave me a weak smile, "Define car?"

"Oh god."

Just then both Anika and Emma reappeared…driving Fisher Price Motorized Cars. No matter how mad I was about Zach spoiling them like that I had to laugh. Emma was driving a Red Mustang and Anika had a white Mustang with two pink pin stripes on the hood.

Nikel looked like a kid in a candy store. He ran over to his girls and started dictating them on how to drive and the correct way to handle a mustang. I just shook my head. I groaned when I saw Zach push out a small toddler car with a handle. So an adult could push Drake around while he sat in the car part. I wasn't going to comment.

I turned back to Allina, "Happy Anniversary."

That was the reason we were all getting together. Today was Allina and Sam's one year wedding anniversary. Also everyone wanted to oh and aw over their new baby. We actually only lived about a half hour away from Sam and Allina in Minnesota so when Liza was born last month we were there. For everyone else in the Cruor clan this is the first time they've seen her.

"Where's Liza?"

Allina shook her head, "Inside with Sam. He is freaking out over her."

I laughed, "Nikel was the same way. It's something to do with being father's over girls. He wasn't nearly as bad when Drake was born."

"Maybe, because it was your second pregnancy he calmed down some. Who understand guys though?"

"We'll find out soon enough." I replied, though it was more like a grumble.

She turned to look at me sharply, "You're not."

"Three months."

"My god, Nikel really needs to learn to use a condom." I turned around to see Zach standing behind me, his eyes smiling.

"Shut up, Zach." I stuck my tongue out at him.

Laughing, he moved over to me and gently spun me around, "Man, Chica, we have to get together more often. I miss ya!"

"Well it's not my fault you moved to Oregon."

"Well it's not my fault you followed Nikel to Minnesota." He mocked before putting his arm through the crook of mine, "Come on, Bella, let's get you in the house. Everyone's been waiting for you guys to arrive."

"I still have a bone to pick with you over those 'little' presents you gave to my children."

"Let them have their fun, Chica."

"Hey, Bella, I see Zach gave the kids his gift." I looked up to see Loretta standing in the doorway. She was nearly my height now and was becoming quite beautiful. I heard Jamie had to beat up a couple of boys who got too fresh with his baby sister…then again Loretta beat up a few boys who got a little too fresh with her.

"Did you have something to do with this?"

She smiled in true Cosmic fashion, "Maybe, maybe not. You'll never know."

"Yes she did." Zach said from beside me.

Her eyes narrowed, "You tattle-tale. Take this, dick."

She snapped her fingers and Zach was suddenly wearing a very beautiful pink dress. She was getting good with her powers.

Zach looked down at his outfit, "Pink is so not my color."

"Hey Bella…why is Zach in a dress?"

"Want to join him, Gabriel?" Loretta questioned, looking at her eldest brother.

Gabriel snorted, "What are you going to do? Turn into a dove and shit on me?"

Zach snickered. Loretta turned for the time last year and her particular animal was Birds. She hasn't quite heard the end of it.

All conversation stopped when Anika ran into the room and pulled on my pants, "Mommy, there's a baby." She started pointing in the direction of the living room.

Laughing I picked her up and followed her directions into the living room, "Remember Liza, honey? You met her at the hospital." I nodded a hi to Sam who was holding the baby.

She looked at me with huge eyes, "She's really little."

"You and Emma were that small too."

"Nope, only Drake was that small." She was as stubborn as her father.

"If you say so." I turned my attention on Sam, "How are you?"

He shrugged, cradling his infant daughter, "Pretty good, getting use to the baby still. At least we only started with one, eh?"

"Lucky you." It was an ongoing joke as well. Apparently twins were rare to Cosmics and since I managed to be one of the few people to have twins in their community I was relentlessly teased.

Soon everyone was sitting around the living room catching up on our lives. Emma and Anika were amusing themselves with these leapfrog computers Alice sent for their third birthday.

"Have you talked to the Cullens lately?" Allina asked, taking Liza from Sam.

"Yeah a few weeks ago, they're in Canada now. I think they're planning to head up to Alaska to visit their sister clan. We still talk regularly through email and phone. I haven't seen them since my wedding though. Why do you ask?"

Allina smiled, "I'd like to go shopping with someone who won't complain the whole time. Alice is fun to shop with."

I rolled my eyes, shifting Drake on my lap as he tried to climb up shoulder, "Was that a shot at me?"

"You should beat her." Zach stage whispered to me.

I didn't grace that with an answer. Soon enough the conversation turned to the Cosmic convention that was going on next month.

"Were you sent a request for attendance?" Allina asked Nikel.

"Request my ass if you get an invite it's not a request; it's a demand to attend. It's like jury duty for the supernatural. I haven't yet, how about you?"

"So far, so good."

I didn't know much about this convention all that Cosmic's who are told to go have to go. It has something to do with order of their people and when you're summoned it rarely was good. Tabitha had been ordered 100 years ago and spent the next 50 years working for their government, laying out different disasters and governing some of their rogues. It was hard and dangerous work. Lucky for her she got out alive and it was before she had any family. Three months ago rumors traveled through most of the supernatural's saying that the Cosmic Council was calling people up again. Usually that meant something bad was going to happen. Two world wars happened the last time.

"Can we get off this dreary topic?" Zach whined.

"What you suggest we do?" Damn my mouth and damn that question. Zach suddenly got a very evil conniving smile on his face.

"The track out back is still in top shape."

"Hell yeah!" Nikel yelled, jumping up, "I am so taking the Aero out."

"The kids are not going with us." I stated, shooting Nikel a glare.

"I'll watch them." Gabriel volunteered.

So thats how most of the family ended up on the back track. I found myself in the Turbo between Nikel and Allina. Zach, Sam and Jamie were behind me. Loretta still wasn't allowed to drive so she was stuck with Gabriel watching the kids.

As soon as the signal was given I immediately hit the gas and cut Nikel off. That's what he got for not taking the garbage out when I asked him to last week. That's right payback's a bitch. Over the years I've gotten better at racing and since becoming Immortal at 23 I've even entered a few races. Only a few because by that time I had one year old twins at home.

I glanced in my rearview mirror just in time to see Allina fly around me and Jamie bash into the side of Zach's car. Man, Zach looked pissed. That always seemed to happen to him. Nikel was the next one to go around me. He was competing with Allina. As we made our laps I saw my girls cheering from the sidelines. I knew soon enough they'd be out doing this as well. I can't say I'm happy about it but it's kind of a family tradition.

I watched as the day slowly disappeared and as the sun began to set I found myself sitting in the backyard looking at the race track. Nikel came out and sat beside me.

"What are you thinking about, love?"

I smiled at him and laid my head on his shoulder, "Life, how it's changed over the years and where our lives have led us. It's nowhere near where I thought my life would be, but it's so much better."

"We have a great family." He grabbed me and plunked me down on his lap so he could wrap his arms around me and put his hands on my stomach, "How many kids you want to have, lady?"

I laughed, "I'm an only child and I loved the family you have. That close relation I never had. So…a few."

"What are you talking about? I have one and a half siblings, the rest are step. Are you going to divorce me to have what I have?" He teased leaning forward to kiss my cheek.

"You know what I mean."

"Okay love, I won't argue with the methods to have these kids of yours."

"Dirty, Nike, Dirty."

"You love it."

"I love you." I replied, turning to kiss him. Our little moment was interrupted by Allina appearing at the backdoor.

"Nikel, there's a messenger here…" We both turned to look at her.

"Messenger?"

Allina nodded, "From the Council, he wants to talk to you."

We both paled as he went inside to talk to the messenger. I looked at Allina, "What does this mean?"

Allina sighed, "Life is complicated. That's what that means."

I sighed as well before getting up to go inside. 'Til death do us part and both of us were immortal so we'll be together for a long time and I'd follow him anywhere, even to the Council of Cosmic's which seemed to be where we're heading. Allina was right though life was complicated, but from my experience you can always be saved from it when you need to.

-Fin-

That's right that's the end. I know it's a cliffy but it's so you can make your own ending. Their story will forever continue on since they are immortal and they'll have their adventures. I know this epilogue is kind of random and doesn't really have too much of a point but I just wanted some closure.

Thanks for reading and don't forget to review one more time.
