This is not the end of the story. There will be one or two chapters after this :))

I was going to give it all to you at once, but I don't have time to finish it right now, so here ya go~

We were all seated at the dinner table, Esme, Alice, Rose, Emmet, Jasper, Edward, and his father, Carlisle and I. The kids were playing in the living room. Everyone was waiting for Alice to tell us her big news.

"So I guess you're all wondering why I wanted us to gather together today..." Alice started.

"Enough with the stalling!" Emmet cut in, anxious to dig into the dinner that we had prepared, "Just tell us already!"

"Fine." Alice pouted, as she entwined her hands with Jasper's, "We're engaged!"

"WHAT?" The rest of us shouted in unison.

"OMIGOSH! Alice, I'm show happy for you two!" Rosalie squealed.

Everyone else started shouting all at once, "Congratulations!"

"When did this happen?!"

"We're so excited for you!"

"I can't believe it!!"

"Wait! There's more news." Alice hushed everyone. "We're keeping little Anna."

Everyone quieted down after she had said that. They were keeping her? Wasn't that a bit too fast?

"Alice, honey, I'm really excited for you, but don't you think that you're moving a bit fast?" Esme asked, concerningly.

"Esme, I know that it does seem really quick and all of a sudden, but we've already been with her for 2 weeks, and I definitely can't imagine my life without her. She's also kind of the reason why Jasper and I are together... and although she isn't exactly ours, we already see her as part of the family.." Alice reasoned with her.

"Well... as long as you're happy, then I'm happy for you." Esme added with a smile.

"Hey Alice," Rose piped in, "when you said that Anna brought you and Jasper together, what do you mean by that?"

"Well, for starters, I never would've gotten the chance to spend this much time with Jasper, if it weren't for this program." Alice said, "And when Anna first came to our home, she was really drawn back. She never wanted to open up to us, so Jasper and I talked to the lady at the orphanage, Angela, and she told us that Anna's parents had left her at the orphanage about a year ago. Her parents were fine, they just didn't want to have to deal with her anymore. She never really had a very happy family, so Jasper and I pretended to be her mom and dad, and we took her out for snacks, went to the park, you know, all that normal family stuff. We even slept with her so that she'd feel safer. After a while, I started thinking about adopting her myself, and so I talked to Jasper about it, and he said that he'd been thinking about it too..." She stopped for a moment, "Well, one thing led to another, and after a few spats, Jasper proposed to me."

I just sat their with my mouth gaping opened, and a million thoughts flying through my mind. They're getting married... and not even a month ago, Alice was still swooning over him like a teenage girl with a huge crush. Her story sounds to familiar...I looked over at Edward who was pretty much in the same position as I was, confused, shocked, prabably thinking the same things too. Its sounds like what's happening between Edward and I.. they ended up so well.. why can't we? I shook my head, because Edward's wayyyy out of your league. Alice and Jasper were meant to be together, everyone knew eversince college. It was just a matter of time for the two of them.

The rest of dinner went by with endless chatter about the new couple and their soon-to-be daughter. Luckily, no one really noticed that neither Edward or I spoke at all unless someone asked us something directly, or so I thought. After dinner, while everyone was gathered in the living watching a cartoon with the kids, I crept up the stairs, hoping to get some time alone.

"What's going on with you?" Alice startled me by appearing next to me.

"Nothing, Everything's fine, there's nothing going on." I blurted, a little too quickly. I had a tendency to repeat things when I was lying, and I knew that Alice could see right through me.

"Not it isn't. Tell me." Alice demanded.

"No. I'll tell you tomorrow.. Tonight's your big night. You've ben waiting for this for who knows how long."

I smiled crept onto Alice's face as she dazed off or a bit before straightening herself our again. "Fine... but I expect every little detail tomorrow morning." she said before rejoining everyone downstairs.

I walked towards the room that I would be sharing with Edward and Marie tonight. I didn't even know what was going on... I walked down the hall, but stopped when I heard the most beautiful melody I had ever herd coming from the other side of the hallway. I decided to go exploring and see what it was. As I got closer, I heard the keys on a piano playing softly. It was so beautiful, so full of love, and so peaceful, yet at the same time it sounded so sad.. As I was about to open the door, the piano stopped abruptly and I heard a frustrated groan coming from the other side of the door. I push it open gently and found Edward sitting on the bench scribbling furiously on a sheet of paper. He stopped and turned around to face me when he heard the door open.

"I-I'm sorry... I just h-heard the piano and wanted to see who it w-was.." I whispered, not quite sure if he heard me or not.

There was sadness and pain written across his face, this confused me. Why did he look so painful?

"It's alright..." He whispered back to me.

We just stayed there staring at each other for was felt like eternity to me.

"Bella-.." "Edwar-.." We both said at the same time, breaking the long silence.

"Look," he began, "I'm sorry about earlier.. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that, it was uncalled for.."

"Did you write that?" I asked, ignoring what he had just said.

"What?" He looked at me puzzled.

"The song, did you write it? The one you were just playing."

"Well... yes.."

"Why didn't you ever tell me that you played the piano?" I questioned him.

"Well, first of all, you never asked.. and second of all, well.. before I met you and Marie, I hadn't played for a long time.." he said while staring at the ground.

"Why not?"

"I couldn't... I didn't know what you play. There was nothing to play about.." he whispered.

"What? You mean..." I took the paper that he had been writing on, and looked at it, "You wrote this... for me?" On the top of the page, in his neat handwriting, was my name.

"Well, yeah.. I couldn't come up with anything remotely decent to play.. that is until I met you and Marie.."

Suddenly, everything made sense to me, I couldn't believe that I hadn't seen it before. I loved Edward. It was like the song had spoken to me as soon as I knew it was written for me. For me... Edward loved me too..? Maybe not love, but I certainly hoped that he at least liked me enough to want to keep me around.

"Oh my...gosh.." I whispered breathlessly.

"Look, I'm sorry if I came on too strongly.. I shouldn't have told you about this, you can just forg-.."

I didn't want to hear him say it, to tell me to just forget everything, so I kissed him. It wasn't like our other kisses, those pretend kisses that we did when Marie was around, it was full of emotion, full of love. The sensation of having his lips on my own was blissful, like heaven. Slowly we parted from each other, Edward clearly suprised at my sudden boldness.

"Edward, I know that you might not want to hear this right now since we aren't exactly talking to each other right now, but I just need you to know..." I stopped in mid-sentence, my throat started closing up, and the courage that I had a second ago seemed to dissapear as quickly as it came. "I love you.." I choked, barely able to get it out.

I looked up from the spot on the ground that my eyes were burning holes into, and glanced over at Edward. He hadn't spoken at all. "Edward, please say something... if you don't feel the same way, at least tell me so you don't leave me hanging here.." I was on the verge of crying. I had just risked everything that I had with him. With Marie too. When he still didn't say anything, I couldn't stand it anymore. I pushed him away from myself and turned for the door. The tears were threatening to spill out, and I couldn't let him see me like this. I bolted for the door, and headed down the hall.

"Bella!" I heard Edward call after me, but I just ran into our room and locked the door. He knocked endlessly at the door, calling for me to come out and talk to him.

R&R Please :))

I don't really know if this one is that good, which is why I wrote a second ending~

I'll post the second ending up after I finish with the story, just so you guys can see it.
