So comes to the end of WF, I'm really attached to this story too :')

A huge thankyou to all who review and left me the love, it was great actually hearing what you thought about my story :)

On a completely relatable unrelated subject of pregnant women, I had completely rationalised having a baby by the end of this (at my age, and at the start of a uni degree, and living in uni housing, and no job, and and and... trust me the rationalisation went up in smoke after I talk to my friends the next morning... I still sneak peak at baby clothes tho... too cute!) Anywho, I now no longer have to have my own. My sister-in-law is expecting :D! Which means that I can simply enjoy the good bits of her pregnancy, and the little munchkin to come, and leave the nappy's to her and my brother :) lol. So, in light of this, i have, on the last chapter of this story, decided to dedicate this to the little one not yet in this world. May he/she have enough :)

anywho... happy endings

The padding of footsteps caused Jake to look up, however, in the position I was in it was too awkward to sit up.

"Ben!" Jake's voice almost yelled.

"Awe, shit, man, I'm sorry, I didn't realise you had someone over" The voice sent chills down my spine.

I leapt up, as quick as a pregnant woman can leap, and looked into a face I knew so well. His hair was longer, and cuts from the accident had caused scars in his silky skin, but he was here. He was alive.

My heart thundered in my chest. I clutched my hand over it as if not to let it beat straight out of my chest. I was panting and crying at the sight of him.

"Edward?" I asked him surprisingly calm; maybe, just maybe this would trigger his memory.

He looked at me for a minute; his eyebrows frowned in confusion, "Bella! Your name is Bella!"

I nodded, "do you remember me?" I asked hopefully.

He looked at me blankly. "No, just that your name is Bella. Do you know me?"

I almost burst out laughing, praying that this wasn't a dream, I wasn't going to just wake up and he was still gone.

"Yes, Edward, I know you. I know you very well!" I looked to Jake, still on the couch.

"Edward? As in 'Edward' Edward?" he asked, propelling himself forward.

I nodded, "We thought you were dead" I told him, "You have a mother, and a father, and a whole bunch of friends who love you and miss you dearly"

Edward furrowed his brow, and ran his fingers through his hair. He was completely and utterly silent before tears started streaming from his weary eyes. "I can't... I can't remember them" he sobbed.

I walked around the couch and took his hand in my own, threading my fingers through his. "I know, and that's okay, because I'm here to help!"

"I... I don't know how, and I don't know wh-y..." his voice broke a little, "but I love you so much, and I don't even know you!" he sobbed harder, completely and utterly confused and bewildered.

"Shh, I know" I snaked my way around his neck and pulled him close, allowing him to sob into my shoulder, and allowing me to take in his scent completely, and it was as intoxicating as ever.

For an age we stood there, sobbing.

"Do you need to take some time by yourself for a bit?" I asked quietly, "maybe let this all sink in?"

He thought about it and nodded, "Um, yeah..." and he turned and walked out of the room.

Seeing him walk away again, made my breath hitch in my throat, and I finally and completely broke down.

"Shh, it's all alright now" Jake's warm voice cooed, rubbing up and down my back.

"Thankyou Jake" I cried into his shirt, "thankyou so much" and I repeated that thankyou over and over, still sobbing.

Finally my eyes ran dry, my breathing returning to normal. And I wondered what to do from here.

"Oh my God, Jake, I have my Edward back" I whispered to him.

"I know" he whispered back.

"What am I going to do? Do I call his parents? Our friends? The Police?"

Jake's hand wandered over my back, "Bell, I think you should ask Be Edward"

I looked up at him, "bedward?" I laughed.

"Sorry, I thought Edward, and said Ben"

I rolled my eyes, "tell me this isn't a dream"

Jake's rumbling laugh shook my body, "Bell, you couldn't dream this sort of shit!"

I laughed at his honesty, and the bemused expression on his face. "I got my Edward back" I whispered to myself.

Jake dropped me home late in the evening. And I was still on cloud nine.

I talked with Edward after a lot had sunk in. We both agreed to let everyone know in the morning, rather than tonight where it would be too much for everyone to handle, and no one would get any sleep. Instead he allowed me to call his parents and friends and organise a morning tea at his home. My stomach did flips just thinking about it.

Jake had been completely understanding with everything and let me hang out in Edward's room without any interruptions. Edward was cautious with me when he finally realised I was actually pregnant, and I think it hurt him a little, knowing how much he loved me, and yet he thought I was carrying another's child. I simply couldn't stand it, so I had to tell him all about our situation. I told him how we were the best of friends, and he said he remembered the name 'Rosalie' when I said he'd been her boyfriend during high school. I explained how simply one day we'd fallen in love, and became lovers.

His head cocked to the side, and tentatively held his shaky hand towards my stomach. I smiled, took the hand and pressed it to my bump over the fabric of my t-shirt.

"We made that?" he asked in an emotionally gravelly voice.

I nodded, "Vanessa... that's what I named her, Nessie for short"

His eyes welled again and tears streamed down his face, "I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you!" he choked out.

I covered his mouth with my hand and frowned at him, "Edward, you almost died! You were in a coma for weeks! Jake told me you fought and fought just to survive! I don't care that you weren't there for me, you'll be here for me now" I looked up into his emotion filled eyes, "right?"

He nodded quickly, "if you want me to be there, and you don't think I'll endanger little Nessie, of course I'll be there for you"

I pulled him into an embrace, and a small pinch pricked my stomach, "oh"

Edwards hand roamed over my stomach and had pushed on the ring, making him frown and pull back, still looking down.

I felt nervous, but kept a small smile on my face, I really couldn't help it. I fished for the chain, and gently pulled it out.

"You were going to give this to me" I slipped the chain off from around my neck and held the ring up for him to study. "But you had the accident on your way home"

He held the ring gently, "I remember this, I think" he whispered.

Silence filled the room as he continued to twist and turn the ring.

I made a sound, and his eyes flicked up to my face, "I... how did I propose?"

I laughed, "funny you should ask!"

He smiled with me, I think at the sound of me laughing. It was the one thing that hadn't changed what so ever, his smile, and how it simply lit up his face to the nth degree.

"If you ever propose to me over text again, I will kill you myself" I promised him, humour lighting my face, fumbling for my iPhone.

I gradually got to the last text he sent me, and a wave of sadness hit me. It made me shiver. And as soon as Edward saw my shiver, he quickly picked a light blanket from his bed and draped it over my shoulders, wrapping his arm around me also. I liked the later action better than the first.

"Ready?" I asked, trying to judge his reaction.

He was so hard to read now, so I just decided to jump. I pressed the play button and the sounds of lazy Sundays, beaches and love came through the tiny speakers.

'This is the first day of my life
I Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain
Suddenly everything changed
They're spreadin' blankets on the beach.'

His cool breath whispered in my ear over the music. "I made this with my cousin, Tanya. She kept giggling right before we started. It took us at least five takes until she couldn't be heard. She was so excited, and I swore her to secrecy and took the next flight out of that place to come home to you"

"You remember?" I asked, turning my face to him.

"I remember you" he whispered reverently. "I love you"

"I love you too"

And gently our lips met, and fireworks exploded in the distance. This was what a kiss should feel like.

It was simple, and chaste, but beautiful and honest.

"I want you to still marry me" he whispered into my lips.

"I want to still marry you" I whispered back onto his.

He smiled, "good"

"Stop talking, more kissing" I giggled, still on his lips.

We didn't do much, simply kissed and talked. He didn't remember much more, but what he did remember was many focused on me. It was heart warming that he remembered me so much.

We ended up wrapped in each others' arms, laying on his bed, spooning so his hands had easy access to my bump which fascinated him to no end. And that's how we stayed until I heard Edwards gentle snores and realised he'd fallen asleep.

I pried myself away from him, writing him a little note to say Jake drove me home, and that he had to up and ready by 10 am to see his folks. I wrote that I loved him, and so did Nessie, and that no matter what, I'd stick by him. I gently kissed his forehead.

"Beh–" he sighed out, "Beh–Llha"

With my hand on the door handle, I willed my self not to weep again, I was sure I had no tears left. Jake said that 'Beh' was the word he work up to, and assumed his name was Ben because of it. No, it was the start of a name, sure, but it wasn't Ben. Bella that was what he must have tried to say as he awoke from his coma, my name was on his lips. If that wasn't love, I don't know what was!

Quickly and quietly I scooted out of the room, and almost ran straight into Billy.

"Billy!" I exclaimed, "thankyou so much, you do not know how much you have done for me!"

He chuckled, "my pleasure Bella, although I was hoping you'd end up with my Jake" his humour filled eyes wrinkled as he laughed a bit more.

"oh, don't worry, I plan to play match maker to Jake right after Nessie is born, mark my words, you will have more grandkids soon"

His eyes wrinkled a bit more with the widening of his smile and he leant in a bit, "I know" he laughed, "it's just a matter of making him see her"

I looked at him. I kind of knew what he was talking of. Billy had visions; I was used to him warning me about something before it happened, and sure as hell, it happened. "And she is?"

"Do you remember Leah?"

I nodded slowly, trying to picture her, "Sue's daughter" that made it 'click'.

"Of course, there was a huge fiasco with her and her boyfriend getting with her cousin when Jake and I were going out. Yeah, I remember her, nice girl, tough as steel"

He nodded, "she sure is. And she will be my daughter-in-law one of these days"

"Certain?"

His face turned dark, "as certain as I was about your man in their" he motioned towards the door,

I nodded, "alrighty, operation Jake and Leah shall commence. I'll be your right hand man, you can count on me" I joked.

He laughed again, before growing serious again, "and that little one, she'll find a good-looking young lad to complete her other half" his face may have been serious, but his eyes were dancing in amusement.

"Wha? Billy, I haven't even popped her out, do not talk to me about her wedding!" I scolded him, "so, who will be my future son-in-law?" I whispered, siding up to him.

He shook his head, "Now you decide to be tight-lipped?" I asked at his lack of speech.

He shrugged, and gave me a little nudge towards the kitchen, following me until I saw Jake.

"Home?"

"Please!" Yes, we had a one word friendship!

"Say goodnight to Bella, Jay" he nudged his son, who stood beside the sink after gulping at a glass of water.

With a plastic clunk, he put down the tumbler and ran to me. "Night Behlah" he said while wrapping his arms around my legs, "night Ness" he then whispered, rubbing small circles on my stomach as high up as he could reach, "love you" he said more to the bump than me.

Billy chuckled from the corner, and I threw him a pointed look, as little Jake scurried down the hall and into bed.

"I'm just going to drop Bell home, can you tuck him in?" Jake asked his father.

Billy nodded, "sure"

"Thanks Dad"

I finally tore my eye's off Jake's fathers' receding figure as he shuffled down the hall.

"Oh my gosh!" I moaned, following Jake outside.

"what?"

"How much do you love me?" I asked.

"Oh, um, Bell, I thought we'd agreed that it wasn't right between us, plus you have Edward and..."

I had to laugh, "no, not like that! You father pretty much just told me Jay will marry Nessie"

Jake paled, and forced a laughed, "silly old man" he murmured in response, knowing completely well Billy was anything but.

"At least the meeting the in-laws won't be awkward!"

Jake laughed at that, "if you say so Bells, but, just for now, can I let my son be my son, and your daughter be your daughter, and we'll deal with shit when it hits the fan?"

I nodded, "sure"

I gave him a quick hug when he dropped me off and waved him goodbye.

I was up early bouncing around the kitchen singing and twirling as I made my breakfast. I didn't hear Rose enter the kitchen, but she made her presence obvious with the chair's legs scraping and squealing against the linoleum floor.

"You're in a good mood this morning" she commented.

I twirled to face her, "indeed I am!"

"may I ask why?" she huffed.

"Oh my beautiful friend, I received some wonderful news, of which I will share when you come to Esme's for morning tea, bring Emmett, he'll want to know too"

Rose opened her mouth, "I can't, I have work!"

I turned to face her, "trust me, you'll want to call in sick! You do not want to miss this!"

She raised an eyebrow at me, and slowly nodded, "okay, I suppose one day can't hurt" and when to call her work.

Jasper and Alice shuffled in soon after, Jasper shirtless and arms wrapped around Alice's shoulders as they walked together.

"You know, you two are just too cute for words!" I squealed, clapping and smiling at them.

"Say no to drugs Bella!" Alice quipped, always the morning person as she fell into Rose's untucked chair, her shoulders being massaged gently by Jasper.

"You two are to be at Esme and Carlisle's by 10 this morning, and I want to hear no objections, for I have big news!" my hands rested comfortably on my bump. Both Jasper and Alice looked at me blankly, and both opened there mouth to tell me they had work.

"I said BIG NEWS now damn well call in sick!" I shouted, before taking a deep breath and composing myself.

Both looked dumb struck and murmured a version of okay.

By the time 10 o'clock came around I was jittery and bouncing in my seat, checking my watch and phone every five seconds waiting for Jake's text. We were all in Esme's beautiful formal lounge, everyone sitting with their spouse waiting on me.

"Are you alright Bella?" Esme asked gently, laying a hand on my shoulder, "do you want to share your news yet?"

I shook my head, "no, no, I'm waiting" and I checked my phone again. Nothing!

"Come on Jake!" I moaned.

"Is this to do with Jacob?" Esme pried, still rubbing my shoulder.

I looked at her, shaking my head, "No, well not really. Much bigger"

My phone vibrated and chimed and scared the hell out of me!

'Here' was all it stated and it was from Jake.

My excitement bubbled over as I forced myself up and ran toward the door as quick as I could.

I met up with Edward and Jake still outside. Edward seemed to be taking it all in, I suppose trying to see if it felt familiar or not.

"Baby?" I asked quietly.

His eyes shot to mine, and his face lit up into a breathtaking smile, "this was my home" he said surely, "there's a cubby house over there in the woods"

I nodded, there sure was. "Did you remember much more?"

He shrugged, "a little, Love"

I smiled, he called me Love again, I pulled him down to me, and kissed his lips once, twice, and then a third time for good measure.

"Come on, everyone's eagerly waiting for my 'big news'" I took his hand and led him in the house.

Before I could open the door to the lounge, and pulled me to a stop and forced his hand to his pocket, removing my necklace which held the engagement ring. "Bella, before we do this, I want you to wear this" he unthreaded the ring from the chain, and knelt to one knee. "My love, my only, my Bella, will you do me the honour of becoming my bride?"

I laughed, "of course, Edward, nothing would make me happier!" and with that he slid the ring onto my finger, before kissing it, then me.

"Alright Love, I'm ready when you are. Let's go" he laughed joyously.

I held my hand on the handle and looked up at him, "if at all you get overwhelmed, please just say so, and we'll excuse ourselves"

He nodded seriously, "I will"

"Remember our word?"

He laughed again, "Fairy dust! I remember, don't worry about that!"

I nodded at him, and opened the door, leading him in to his meet his family and friends.

We walked in the door, to meet with paled faces and awkward stares.

"Oh... um..." I never did think how I would introduce him again, "surprise?" I asked, frowning and biting my bottom lip, looking up at him.

He smiled, and gave my hand an encouraging squeeze.

There was only silence in the room.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what else to say, um, this isn't a sick joke, or a trick. Jake's father found Edward and saved him. But Edward, he has amnesia, he doesn't remember much, so please, come and introduce yourselves"

They were all still and silent. Carlisle was the first to rise.

"Edward? I'm Carlisle" he said deeply.

Edward frowned at him before looking at me, "dad?" he guessed.

Carlisle smiled, "that's right" he held out his hand.

Edward rolled his eyes, took his hand and pulled him into one of those manly-like hugs where they hit each other on the back. Yet when it was time for Carlisle to let go, he broke down in tears. Edward whispered a soothing 'shh' into his fathers ear and rubbed his back.

"I lost you. I put you in the ground..."

"I know, Dad, I know... I'm sorry"

I place a hand on Carlisle's shoulder, and his sobs transferred from his shoulder to mine, "Oh Carlisle, this is a happy time! You have your son back!" I whispered in his ear, which set him off a little bit more.

"I gave up on him Bella, what sort of father does that make me?"

"You saw a body, the police told you he was gone, you were trying to move on... you didn't give up on him, you grieved him"

He looked straight into my eyes, and nodded, "thankyou for bringing him home"

I smiled and looked over to Edward, sobbing into his mothers shoulder, as she consoled him.

"I love him, you know" I finally said in a small voice.

He turned back to me, but I kept my eyes trained on my fiancé, and I saw in my peripheral vision my future father-in-law frown, then open his eyes wide in realisation.

Edward looked up at that moment, and smiled at me, while wiping his eyes. I realised I was tearing too, so wiped under my eye with my left hand.

And Carlisle almost choked.

"You?" he almost yelled in shock, "all this time we wondered who Edward's girlfriend was, and it was you?"

I smiled up at him, and nodded slowly.

"And you couldn't tell us?" the hurt in his voice was unmistakeable.

I looked around and saw everyone's eyes on me. Edward came to my rescue by letting go of his mother and coming and wrapping me in his arms.

"We had talked about it before, and because of my history with Rose we decided to keep us a secret, that of course would have changed when Bella became pregnant, and when I asked her to marry me, but then I had the accident, and it simply would have been impossible for her to come out after I was gone and claim we had this magnificent love affair and she was carrying my child, people would have thought she was nuts"

I gapped at him, "yeah, I think I remember more than you know" he whispered, making me giggle.

"Mum, Dad, I'd like to introduce you to Isabella Swan, my fiancé, my lover, and the mother to my unborn child" he proclaimed.

Both Esme and Carlisle paled, but then smiled and hugged and congratulated both of us. But it was as Esme hugged me, she whispered in my ear.

"This is a recent occurrence, isn't it? I mean, I was right to let you both stay in the same room when your father left?"

I had to laugh, "oh, Esme, yes, definitely yes! We never did anything back then, we were simply the best of friends, but that changed and here we are"

She looked as if she let go of the breath she was holding, and looked awfully relieved. "Oh, good, gosh, you scared us for a minute Bella; we thought we'd been bad parents with children that were taking advantage of our good nature"

I shook my head, no. "Not at all, though Edward did help me a lot during those nights, but he simply held me, comforted me while I sobbed. It was the best gift you could have ever of given me"

Movement on the other side of the room alerted me to the presence of a very upset Rosalie.

"Oh, Rosie!" I gasped.

And she came running, and leapt into my arms, "Bella, I'm so so sorry. I was selfish and narrow minded, and only was thinking of myself. I'm surprised you haven't soccer-punched me for my actions!"

I laughed, and ran my fingers through her hair, pushing it out of the tears on her face, "Rose, trust me, it's been an effort! But you're my best friend, and believe it or not, I love you so much, that not even a little bitchiness can come between us"

She nodded, gratefully.

With my hand held firmly in hers, she turned to Edward, "do... do you remember me?"

He cocked his head to the side, "yes, somewhat?" he asked, looking to me.

I nodded, he needed the reassurance that what he was saying was right.

"We were together?" he asked, squinting at her.

She nodded this time.

He leant forward and whispered in her ear.

She flushed bright red, and glared at him. "Of all the things we did in that car, you remember that?"

He shrugged, "I loved that truck!"

I frowned at Rosalie, on the verge of asking, but she beat me to it. "On our first date, I got car-sick and vomited in his truck! That's what he asked me!"

I coughed, then burst out laughing, "Of all the things you did do in that truck, namely on the tray of that truck, that's what you remember?"

He shrugged and blushed, and shrugged again, "god, you two are going to be hell together. Alright, no, it's not the only thing, but I remember many more times riding in that truck with you, than I do with Rosalie"

I blushed, "awe, baby!" I cooed, running my hand up his arm.

I expected Rose to flip her lid, but instead she smiled, and rolled her eyes, "don't worry about it, I remember it plenty for the both of us!" she drawled out, tapping her temple.

Edward rolled his eyes, smiling. He locked eyes with someone else, and that smile instantly disappeared.

"My brother!" he choked out, pulling away from Rose and I and grabbing Jasper in a good old fashion man hug.

Jasper threw his arms around him just as fiercely.

"I missed you Man" he chocked out, slamming his fist into Edward's chest, all the while on the verge of breaking down in a complete mess.

"Jasper, Man, I'm so sorry" Edward whispered.

When Jasper finally let go, and I was sure each would have bruises on their backs from the fierce back thumping each got, they shook hands.

Alice was by my side, absentmindedly playing with the pleats on the high waisted dress she wore. She kept her eyes down, but I could hear little snivels coming from her too. I smirked and gently reached out to rub across her shoulders in support.

She looked up and me, and yes, in fact she had been crying, but she was still smiling. "I'm so happy for you!"

My smile widened and I nodded. "Thankyou"

Jasper turned our way and motioned for Alice to come beside him. "Edward, this is my future wife Alice Brandon. She's Rose's cousin and my baby-momma"

Alice thwacked him. "You douche; this is not our day for secrets like that!"

His hand rubbed his sternum when Alice had come in contact with him, but instead of the apology, he laughed. "You look beautiful, not in the slightest showing!"

Alice rolled her eyes, fiddled with the pleats again, and groaned while smoothing the fabric back down. "Hi, Edward" she smiled, "how are you?"

Another laugh from Edward, "Pixie, you look fabulous, welcome to the family, by the way" and with that he pecked her on the cheek, and quickly hugged her.

"Never, ever do that to us again, hear me Mister! You almost broke my heart when they couldn't find you for so long; I thought my intuition was broken" she said, while pulling him closer by the collar, "and my intuition is never wrong! But you're back now, so you're all but forgiven"

She let him go, and curled into Jasper's side, whose amused of smugness showed no remorse to Edwards utterly dazed and confused one.

"Um... Fairy dust" Edward quickly and quietly said, and I was by his side in a second.

"Baby? Are you alright?"

Edward looked at me with scared eyes, "I don't get it" he whispered to me, "why was her intuition broken?"

I caught a laugh in my throat, and willed it not to make a sound, "um, Alice is our little fortune teller. She say's she predicts the future, kind of like Billy. She knew something horrible would happen to you, but she also saw you coming home to me too. And when the police found a body that they said was you, Alice was devastated, she thought she'd made up everything in her head. She was a little unpleasant to be around for a few days" I finally let my self have a little giggle in his ear.

His face had a look of enlightenment, and a light bulb seemed to shine bright above his head, "oh"

The day wore on, more tears were shed, and there would be many more to come in the imminent future. The clock struck five, and I knew it was time for Edward to finally be able to rest. We said our goodbyes, and promised to come over bright and early the next morning for tea, but I think that was only because it was the only word that Esme seemed to be able to choke out in her grief.

I promised that we would be there early-early, early enough to rival the waking of the birds. That pleased her as she cuddled further into Carlisle. With another round of waves we simply took off.

"Do you want to simply walk?" I asked, looking at the single black hummer in the driveway that belonged to Emmett.

He smiled, "only if malady will escort me!" He held out his elbow and I gently threaded my hand through it, giggling, and so in love.

We walked easily, but slowly, and gradually my hand slipped form his elbow and rested firmly in his hand. I held my other hand below my bump, gently caressing it.

Every so often, Edward would pick my hand up and kiss it, or stop us and kiss my lips, or neck, or bend down and kiss my stomach.

And when a bench appeared form seemingly no where, he forced me to sit, curled up between my legs, and cooed softly to our baby.

I was in fits of giggles when a black hummer pulled up along side us.

"You two alright there?" Rose asked out the window.

Edward looked up, his cheeks rosy from smiling so much, and nodded. "Ness and I are just having a little conversation about staying off Momma's bladder"

I laughed so hard when he said that, that I almost wet myself, "Oh, babe, you had to mention the bladder!" I moaned, needing the bathroom more than ever.

Rose laughed, "come on, hop in, we'll be home in 2 minutes flat, and you can use the bathroom"

Edward stood, then helped me up, then into the car. Alice and Jasper had done the obvious, quick, jump in the back move to make room for us.

And I squirmed all the way home.

The bathroom became the number one priority, then a shower, shared of course, to save water... dinner, and then we excused ourselves for bed.

"I am so proud of you" I whispered in his ear, his naked body pressed up against my naked body.

"I am so in love with you" he whispered back, as I snaked my legs round his to get closer.

"I am so in love with you"

And with that he slid slowly inside me. I shivered at the feel. We made love that night. Twice. It was slow and loving and completely right.

Thus the end.

Hope you all enjoyed, and it wasn't too anticlimatic or anything for you. Most guessed that Ben, was, in fact, Edward...

also, those who have been with me for Living Ghosts, no, i haven't abandonded it, i know exactly where she's going, I just need the inspiration to sit down and write it, which has been a little hard lately... :/... But stick with me, and know i am truly sorry that I left you on such a cliffy.

I may be back to write an epilode, but I don't know yet.

Love you

Jess
