Chapter 11: Conclusion Part 2: A Happy Ending?
Read this, and while you do so, think of Edwards and Bella's love. Yea, I'm a poetry freak... I have pages and pages of poems that remind me of those two star crossed lovers. :) ask me, and I'll send them to you.
Sonnett 116, William Shakespeare.
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments; love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O, no, it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is a star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his hieght be
taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with it's brief hours and weeks,
but bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

You're probably thinking that we didn't get there in time. To rescue Kary, I mean. We did get there. Well, Emmett and Carlisle got there. Edward wouldn't have me going back there, just in case there were any Volturi snooping about. I was glad to hear that Aro was alright. I did grow slightly fond of him. Slightly.
I sat on the over-starched blanket on the over-stuffed bed of the hotel room. I was ready to go back to Forks. It was dark now, we were going to leave as soon as Emmett and Carlise got back. Edward sat across from me, holding my hands in his. It felt wierd. I could still feel his hands as cold as ever. I had just realized that it shouldn't feel like that.
"That's odd." I whispered.
"What is?" Edward asked with genuine curiousity.
"Are my hands warm?" I asked. He looked from my hands into my face, as if he didn't realize it.
"Esme?" He said. She came forward. "Take Bella's hands. Is there anything strange about it?" He asked. Esme took my hands, she hesitated for a moment, and then she smiled.
"Strange?" I asked.
"No. Edward, I think we've found her ability." He said.
"What!?" I asked with a dumb expression. Edward smiled. I looked at him forwardly. Alice came over and bounced on the bed.
"This is so great, Bella!" she exclaimed.
"I still don't get what my special 'power' is..." I said. She smiled wider, if it was possible. He started to giggle. She took me by the hand and danced toward the bathroom. She pulled me in, and closed the door behind us. The back of the door had a large mirror covering most of it's perimeter. I looked at myself.
You're thinking that I didn't recognize myself. Oh, It was still me looking back. I stepped forward. This is the first time I looked in a mirror since I changed.
"Name what's changed." Alice stated. I looked at her, she was still smiling. I caught my breath and placed my palm on the reflective glass.
"I look... the same." I said.
"Really?" She asked.
"Well, my skins a bit lighter I guess, and my eyes are a little ...darker. " I whispered. Alice rolled her eyes.
"And?" She said. I didn't know what she was trying to get me to say. I couldn't think of anything else different.
"Maybe it's not the way you look, Bella. Look deep." I closed my eyes. I tried searching, but I couldn't feel anything.
"Why can't you just tell me?" I whined.
"Because you need to figure it out on your own." She smiled. I groaned.
"So, I can radiate human heat. Big deal." I said.
"It will be a deal when you figure it out more." I sighed and walked back into the room.My stomach turned strangely, my throat slowly pulsing. I ignored it.
Edward was standing now. His face radiant.
"We're you listening in?" I asked playfully, letting his arms wrap around me. He blew in my hair.
"Maybe." he chuckled. I grunted, which made him laugh even more.
"My Bella, don't worry, you'll figure it out soon enough." He smiled. I kissed his neck. Edwards head tilted, I turned around. Seconds later, the door opened. Emmett and Carlisle walked in. Carlisle held a sleeping Kary in her arms. I sighed and walked forward, taking Kary into my arms. She woke up from the movement, smiling brightly up at me.
"Hello there." I smiled. She grinned. I noticed she was missing a couple teeth. I adjusted her so that I was holding her so that she wrapped her legs around my side. I looked up from her face and up into Carlisle's.
"How did you get her?" I asked. He smiled.
"No one was there. Odd, but she was. We found her in one of the spare rooms." He said. I nodded. Rosalie and Jasper walked in and nodded.
"Time to go." Jasper said with a grin. We all nodded. Edward wrapped an arm around me as we headed out.
"What are you going to do about her?" He asked.
"Find her family." I said. "Carlise!" I hollered, he turned around. "Do you know how we can find Kary's family?" He thought for a moment and then went to talk to Emmett.
"Where are you from?" I asked Kary. She lifted her head from my shoulder and looked at me. "Volterra?" I asked. She shook her head.
"London." She said. I opened my mouth and closed it. I looked at Edward. Carlisle came towards me.
"I'll take her home." he said. I nodded. I said goodbye to Kary and handed her to Carlise. He went over to Esme, kissing her gently before walking in the opposite direction. We were at the airport now.
Two hours later, we were on a plane back to the U.S. I sat beside Edward, my head on his shoulder. Edward wrapped his arm around me as he looked out the window.
It must of been hours, but soon we were al sitting in the Cullen's mansion, crowding around in the large open room. The sun was up before we got back, so the heat shone on us as we walked.
I looked around and everyone. They all watched me curiously.
"What now?" I asked. They didn't have time to answer. There was a loud knock at the door. My heart sped up.
"Who?" I whispered.
"Charlie." Alice whispered back. I took a deep breath, squeezed Edwards hand and then walked towards the door. I opened it slowly. Yes it was him. His face unreadable.
"Isabella Swan." He stated, anger flaring in his nostrils, he tried to keep it from showing. I smiled as innocently as possible.
"Look dad.." I said, but I couldn't speak anymore. He had me in his grasp, hugging me tightly. I looked at his face. He was crying. I started to cry too.
"I'm sorry dad.." I bellowed. We hugged for a while more, then he looked down at me.
"You're grounded" He said. I smiled.
" I love you too." I said. He smiled slightly. He looked at the Cullens behind me. He flared with anger again.
"You!" He said pointing at Edward."Do you even know what you put her through!!!" He hollared angrily.
"Yes, I do." Edward said, walking forward. Carlise looked taken aback, but he was still angry. He wrapped one arm around my waist, still pointing a finger at Edward.
"I don't care!" He hissed. "I want you to stay away from my daughter." Charlie said with anger. Edward watched him carefully.
"I don't think that's possible anymore." Edward said sadly, but I sensed happiness in his voice.
"To hell it's not!" Charile hollared. "I swear, If I see you with her EVER.. I'll... I'll.."
"Charlie." A voice said from behind us. Carlsile came around us, taking Esme's hand. "I'd like it if you didn't yell at my son." He said casually. I looked up at Charlie. He was breathing in and out deeply.
"How did you know we were back?" I whispered.
"Mr.Newton told me." He said thourgh clenched teeth. "He saw you driving in. I only expected you were with them." I looked down at my hands, carefully curling them tightly.
"Charlie. I think if you calmed down, we could talk." Carlisle said genlty.
"Do you think I'm just going to forget?!?" Charlie's anger rose. I looked at Alice, she smiled at me smugly. I knew it was coming. The moment I would find my power. My throat clenched and I screamed.
"Please stop!" I screamed. Everyone stopped talking. Alice's smile was bigger. I slide out of Charlie's arms and backed away from him, I backed away from all of them, plaving my back against the far wall. "Just stop." I said. Everyone watched me, waiting for my next move. I took in a deep breath, closing my eyes. I wished myself to dissappear. I wanted myself to a happy place. I thought of the place, and then thought of Edward. When I opened my eyes, I was there. In the meadow, with Edward. He stood beside me, grinning.
"Of all the powers you could get.." He said. "Thanks for wishing me with you." He said, taking me into his arms. We lied there in eachothers arms for hours. The sun was almost ready to set. I hadn't realized so much time had gone by. My stomach lurched and I rolled over, holding my belly tight.
"What's wrong with me?" I asked, trying to puke in the grass. Nothing came out. He studied me gently.
"You're hungry." He whispered. He started to laugh.
"Let's go eat." I said. "Maybe Charlie ordered pizza." Edward took me into his arms, smiling. He watched me until it clicked in.
"No..." I moaned. "I'm scared, Edward."
"I'll walk you through it, give you the dummy's manule." He grinned.
"Haha. Funny." I said, holding my stomach again. He stood up.
"Come on." He said, pulling me up. "I wont leave your side."
-------------------------------------------------
I walked into the Forks hotel a couple hours later, feeling satiated. Charlie sat on the couch waiting for me. He watched me intently.A cheap TV played NHL in the corner. I recognized a lot of our stuff lieing around. Not much, most was lost in the fire.I had almost forgotten about our house. I had gone straight to were our house used to be before realizing that it was gone. It made me cry, but I had Edward there to comfort me. I had called Charlie's cell phone he told me,smugly, where he was.
Now, he was not saying anything. I walked closer to a door on the opposite side of the room, where Charlie pointed when I was about to ask.
"Bella!" He said. I turned around to look at him."I thought you would of stayed at the Cullens." He whispered. I looked at him. Love was coming out of him. His face full of concern. He was always concerned.
"No." I whispered back. "You are my home." I smiled, and he smiled back.
"I still don't want you around him." He said.
"Maybe we can work something out." I said.
"Maybe. But, don't count on it. Goodnight Bells."
"Night Dad." I faked a yawn and walked into the other room. Edward was lieing on the bed, waiting. I plopped on top of him. I rubbed my hands on his chest.
"So.." I murmered.
"So..." He said, kissing my neck passionately.
"What do vampires do to pass the time at night?" I asked. His breath tickled my neck. He laughed gently. rolling me over so that I was underneath him.
"Oh, I think we can find something to pass the time." He murmered, lifting his hands under my shirt. I giggled. His mouth was on mine, and all thought of this stupid hotel room and all the things that were happening around me vanished. I had Edward and that was all that mattered.
There were so many choices that I would have to make tomorrow, but for now, I was happy just being back in Forks. Eventough it looked like my final choice, I still would choose Edward over anything. Well, maybe everything. I still loved Charlie and Renee, but I had my own path to follow now, and I hoped Edward would be there every time I tripped, to catch me.
END... or is it.
