Epilogue
Love!
(Renesmee's POV)
So much had happen since the defeat of the Volturi. We had gotten to tell grandpa Charlie about us and everything! Garrett and Kate had stopped by to tell us word had spread. But vampires were going to be respectful and still follow the rule of not over hunting. Every vampire seemed to know the name Cullen now.
Jacob took credit for that, of course.
Halloween came around and aunt Alice just had to make a big production of it. I don't know why she would when Halloween is filled with stereo types.
But she insisted and so we all ended up agreeing. We were throwing a Halloween party at the house. it was going to be us, the pack, my best friends, Charlie, Sue, and Billy were even coming to keep Grandpa Carlisle and Grandma Esme company.
Oh and of course whoever the packs imprinted on.
Leah wasn't coming. She wasn't a big fan of parties or vampires. It had been eighteen years and she still didn't like us much.
We were in my mom's room and she was helping me instead of aunt Alice. Aunt Alice was pouting in the corner. "Bella, are you suuuurre?!" Aunt Alice whined as my mom put my hair in a bun and the blond wig on.
"Alice, if there's one thing Jacob will always like its someone who kills vampires...besides us of course" My mother said adjusting the wig.
I stood up and went to the full length mirror. I was wearing a golden blond wig that went down to my back, a black leather jack that fit me perfectly, a white blouse, dark skinny jeans, and black boots.
Guess who I was dressed up as...Buffy the vampire slayer. "Mom, this is great" I smiled and did a little twirl. "What matters is what Jacob thinks" aunt Alice pointed out and I nodded.
My mom rolled her eyes before whispering to me "Don't worry she use to say the same thing to me about your dad" and I giggled at her reply.
My mom and aunt Alice looked pretty awesome themselves. My mother was dressed up as little red riding hood.
She wore a little black dress that let out at the waist line and stopped just above her knees, she had on a long sparkling red cloak with the hood down, her brown hair was following around her beautifully and wildly, she wore dark brown boots with two inch heels. she even had a little brown basket.
Aunt Alice was going as a cowgirl. she had on a brown cowgirl hat, a red short sleeved checkered shirt that was tied in the back so it exposed her stomach, she wore long denim jeans and cowl girl boots, she even had a rope ride on the belt loop. It was obvious she and uncle Jasper were matching do to his southern heritage.
"Come on, lets go see everyone else" Aunt Alice chirped and we all went gracefully down stairs.
Aunt Rose was sitting on the love seat wearing a blue and black plaid skirt that stopped at the end of her thighs, a white button down shirt with the top button undone, knee high white socks and buckle shoes, Her hair was a little messy but still beautiful.
"Nice outfit, Rose" my mom complimented. My aunt Rose smiled. "Yeah, what are you wearing to the party?" aunt Alice laughed and we laughed along with her.
"Watch it" aunt Rosalie hissed. "We're just kidding around" I assured her with a smile. Her face softened as Grandma Esme came in the room. she was carrying a tray of Halloween themed cookies and set in on the food table with everything else.
Streamers of black and orange were everywhere with decorations this way and that. It looked cool, scary, and very Halloween like.
Grandma Esme was dressed as a dead bride, going along with everything. Grandpa Carlisle came out in a doctor uniform with blood splattered everywhere on the cut and the prop of a knife stuck in his chest.
"Sweet" I approved and he chuckled. then my dad and my uncles came down. Uncle Jasper was dressed as a cowboy so I was right about the matching thing. Uncle Emmett was dressed as Darth Vader; holding his helmet in his hands and my dad was...wow!
He was dressed as a soldier, full on camouflage. My mother was right by him, smiling gently. "No one say anything, it was Alice's idea" he warned.
"Dad, you look great!" I assured him. "I love it," My mother complimented, ruffling his hair. He rolled his eyes, then looked at me.
"Please tell me that's a wig" he sighed, exasperated. I rolled my eyes and smiled "I'm going as Buffy" I told him. we all laughed as we all heard the door bell. That would be my friends.
Mean while in La Push
(Jacob's POV)
"Seth, hurry it up!" I called impatiently. Embry and me were waiting for Seth to get his butt down here so we could get to the party.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Seth hollered from his room. The three of us decided to go as the three musketeers. Quil couldn't resist going somewhere with Claire for Halloween. Quil was now eighteen to match Claire's age.
Embry and I only let ourselves grow a year. I was seventeen and so was he. He was so he could keep up with me and I did for Nessie. Seth had grown to seventeen in those two first years of quiet after the Cullen's left but it didn't last for long.
Seth came in the room looking cheerful "I found my hat" he said while putting it on. "Alright then, lets go!" Charlie sounded happy at getting to see Bella again!
We all piled into Sue's mini van while Billy wheeled himself into the back. I was a little over excited to Nessie I guess. I was curious as to what she would be dressed up as. When we finally got on the Cullen's street I was really excited. I felt like I was nine again.
We pulled up to see a Mercedes already parked there, it must be Nina's. We all climbed out and got to the door I rang it and music started playing in that instant. Nessie opened the door and...whoa!
...
Before Jacob and the gang came...
(Renesmee's POV)
My friend's were certainly at the door. Tim was dressed as a pirate, Rico was dressed as a punk, Nina was dressed as cat woman, and Debbie was dressed as a witch.
"Nice looks" I noted, nodding. I let them in and they all examined my hair. "Buffy?" Debbie guessed. "Yep" I replied with a smirk.
"Hi, everybody!" My mother smiled as she finished pushing the furniture off to the side for dancing. I saw my dad and aunt Alice discussing which kind of music to play for the guests. They chose today's type of music and put it in the large stereo system.
"You guys out did yourselves" Tim praised "Thank you" aunt Alice sang as uncle Emmett dimmed the lights and put on his Darth Vader helmet. the disco ball lights hit us all and music started to play just as the door bell rang.
I opened up to see Jacob. He, Seth, and Embry were dressed up as the three musketeers. I'd bet all the candy here Quil was with Claire.
"Buffy the vampire slayer...ironic, but it looks good on you" Jacob nodded in approval as the adults disappeared. "You look good to" I nodded and leaned up to kiss his cheek.
Soon enough, the other pack showed up with happy faces.
When everyone began dancing we all ended up switching partners. Aunt Rosalie would even dance with different people unless it was the pack. Some things never change.
I danced with Jacob, uncle Emmett, my father, Embry, Seth, and back to Jacob, we all got passed around a lot. It was fun though. My four friends were having fun as well. Nina and Debra weren't even afraid to dance with Seth and Embry at one point.
At one point I danced with Rico and he made me end up laughing with his jokes. When I was back to Jacob an old but familiar song played.
It was I put a spell on you; the Bette Midler version. Jacob spun me and I could see that loving glow in his eyes. After that Nina, Debra, Rico and Tim went to the food table to get a drink and candy. Jacob and I continued to dance as Embry and Seth went to stuff their faces.
"You really do look good tonight" Jacob assured me with a smile. "So do you" I told him with a smile of my own. "I'm not a big fan of blondes though" he muttered teasingly.
He glanced at aunt Rose and shuddered. I giggled and took the wig off, threw it on the couch, and let my bronze hair down. he smiled and a slow song played, but we decided to go sit down. Seth and Embry were still stuffing their faces as the others danced.
"Hey, I want to give you something" Jacob said as we sat on the love seat. "Your going to spoil me as bad as my dad spoils my mom" I whispered shooting a glance at my parents who were to caught up in each other to notice anything else.
"Its an old gift" he reminded me. An old gift? I was already wearing the necklace he gave me, what old gift was there?
he pulled out the little beaded promise ring he'd given me when I was a baby. But five beads had a letter on them. they were L-O-V-E.
I looked up at him and slid it onto my wrist. "You changed it" I whispered looking at him. "Only a little" Jacob shrugged.
"I love you, Nessie. You always remember that because I'll be going wherever you go from now on" he promised. "Really?" I asked looking at him in disbelief.
"What about when we move?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "You're stuck with me" he shrugged and grinned widely. I hugged him and smiled like an idiot.
"Thank you Jacob, for everything" I whispered and realized for the first time the song playing was And I will always love you; it wasn't the original version by Dolly Parton, but it was Whitney Houston's version.
"I love you, too" I told him sincerely. he smiled at me. I glanced at my parents who were gazing lovingly at each other. I wondered if Jacob's and my love would ever be as strong as theirs.
Then I realized, it already was. We had been through hell and back and faced countless dangers, but never let it get in our way of loving each other.
I turned to Jacob and pulled his mouth to mine. He pulled me on to his lap and deepened the kiss. It was passionate, but I knew we were both trying to put our love into that one kiss.
Impossible.
But we continued in our moment of showing each other our love.
