AN: This is the end, guys. I want to thank you all for sticking with this story for as long as you all did. I couldn't have done it without you guys, seriously. I love hearing reviews :)

Enjoy this last chapter and don't forget to check out my other Nessie/Jake kid story, CompletelyOneOfAKind.

I also would like to mention that I'm thinking about posting chapters to my new story The Life of Mary Black soon, so be on the lookout for that too.

*FYI, this chapter is about a year and a few months after Chapter 14.

Chapter 15

Nessie's POV

I tried to wipe away the tears running down my cheeks, but to no avail since more tears followed behind the ones I got rid of. At this point, I figured that it didn't even matter anymore. My little boy was getting married today. It was a mother's right to cry, was it not? My mother never had the chance since she's fully vampire, but I sure was going to use the body fluids that I had been given.

Jacob snickered next to me and I fought the urge to smack my husband. I loved him, really I did, but now was not the time to be teasing me. I was in an emotional state now that my children seemed to be growing up without my permission around me.

"Wuss." He whispered too low for anyone else to pick up and then I actually did smack him. I quickly wiped my remaining tears and tried to look like I hadn't been weeping before the ceremony even began.

Though, as I looked over at Leah sitting across from the aisle where Jacob and I currently sat, I couldn't help but notice that her eyes were puffy as well. I smiled slightly to myself at that. So much for tough-as-rock Leah keeping her cool.

Edward, on the piano, started playing the opening music and I looked up at the stage one more time at where my little boy was still standing waiting for his bride. EJ twitched slightly, moving his forefinger back and forth against the back of his other hand nervously. He was wearing his short spikey bronze hair jelled back so that it complimented his dark black suit. His green eyes were bright and anxious, the golden hint to them really standing out in the light.

I smiled at him reassuringly, not that he needed it since his imprinter was the one that he was about to be wed to, but it seemed to loosen him up. I tilted my head so that I was facing the back of the church. And yes, I did say church. Alice had nothing to do with it either.

Sara had decided to get married in the church where her parents got married, so here we all were. It was a little white chapel a few miles from La Push, so no boundry worries, but Leah and Embry had seemed so touched at the gesture. The decision was actually what seemed to ease things over with Sara and her parents. She had been living with us for a few months, not speaking to them, when she finally broke down and went back home. It was hard on her, being her senior year and all, to be away from her family.

Sara and EJ decided to wait to get married until seven months after they were both graduated, much to Embry's delight. Though he knew that the two were soul mates, the fact that his own wife thought it was too soon for the young couple to be married in the spring made their now Christmas wedding much more acceptable.

The music cued again and I heard a couple of wolves laughing from the back rows. Little Lizzie Ateara was hiding behind Tim Call's scrawny legs. He was in a tux that matched EJ and all of the other groomsmen's while she was in a short sleeve, tanktop-like green dress with golden sequins and glitter flaring out at the bottom that matches EJ's eyes. (You can tell that Alice was allowed to help plan most of the wedding).

Sara wanted her family to be in the wedding party, as did EJ, so all of the siblings and their imprints were set to walk down the aisle...even shy little Lizzie. At just ten years old, she has yet to get over her fear of big crowds. Although having a sixteen year old werewolf imprinter has its perks, Lizzie is still a child.

Tim nudged her lightly and reached for her hand. This seemed to erase some of her distress and they managed to make it all the way down the aisle before Lizzie hid behind Tim's back, peering out every few seconds to see if we were still watching her. Since she was supposed to take her place on the other side where the girls would be, a few people in the audience let out chuckles. But no one bothered to make her follow the proper rules.

The two were followed behind by Tim's twin Tommy and his nineteen year old imprint, Tia Uley. She seemed to be the one babysitting in this situation, though I knew that neither one felt like their three year age difference really mattered all that much; they are the very best of friends just like Jacob and I used to be and would soon have their own fairytale love story.

The next pair to follow behind was Jesse Uley and my youngest daughter, Rosie. She looked stunning in her dress, her long brown hair twisted to the right side of her face like little Lizzie and Tia did. Though, Rosie didn't look young and innocent at all. All eyes were on her, though she always had a way of capturing the entire room's attention (not that she ever noticed the effect she had on people), and I couldn't help but wonder what would be in store for this couple.

Their whole future is pretty much already planned out for them, not that either of them would ever have it any other way. Jazzlyn is now seventeen and a senior in high school and Jesse works full time with some of the other wolves at Black Repair Shop that Jake started to help the local boys out. Truth be told, it had always been Jake's dream job and I think he wants Jesse to take over it when he officially becomes part of our family. Jesse is more than willing to take his future-father-in-law up on his offer.

The last of the bridesmaids starts down the asile and I force myself not to cry at the sight of my oldest child. With her long curly black ringlets pulled to the side of her face, it's hard to tell that she's as old as she is. Alice always had a way of taking ten years off of someone's look.

Carlie's large swollen stomach is clearly seen through Alice's choice of bridemaid dress, though, and her pale russett skin is glowing, but not because the sunlight is reflecting off of the skin of a few of our vampire relatives in the audience. For the first time it seems real: she and Sammy are going to be parents soon.

As soon as they found out that she was expecting, they eloped. Sam and Jake were furious, but imprinting is a funny thing: Emily and I remained completely calm about the whole situation because we know how hard it is to wait to be with the one you love...especially since Emily and Sam didn't.

Though he looks nervous in his tux now, I know that Sammy has nothing to fear when it comes to being a dad in a little over a week. Sammy has been to every parenting and birthing class that we could find in the local area and I honestly don't think that anyone will love their little girl as much as I know Sammy will love Nichole Cullen-Black-Uley.

Nichole is already special to everyone, even though she has yet to make an appearance. It's hard to get an ultrasound of Carlie's stomach since Nichole seems to be part vampire, but with two wolves as parents, it's a little odd that her lineage will be what it is. Carlisle theorizes that the vampire gene was dormant in Carlie, who grew up to be a werewolf like her husband and father, but like EJ, it appears that all three of my children inherited a little bit from each of us.

She has the ability to project thoughts into people's minds like I can, but it seems to follow Rosie's ability more closely, not needing a physical touch to produce it. Sammy hopes that Nichole will be able to phase, but I have my doubts. If she is able, she'll be one of the strongest wolves this Pack has ever seen.

One thing is for certain: that little girl will forever tie all of our families together, uniting vampires with both Alpha pack lineages for all eternity.

Finally, the music changed as Carlie and Sammy went to stand on either side of where EJ stood, looking slightly nervous, and Sara started walking down the aisle with Embry at her arm. She looked stunning in the white satin floor-length dress that fit every curve that she was blessed with. Her veil was simple, pulling her long black hair out of the way to reveal most of her face that the thin lace covering didn't hide.

I had trouble choking back another whimper as I saw that her eyes weren't trained on the floor so that she wouldn't fall, but at my only son. EJ's golden green eyes were locked onto hers as well, as if guiding her home to him with the warmth of his hold.

"Sara Sue Clearwater-Call, do you take Edward Jacob Cullen-Black to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

Deep scarlet blush. "I do."

"Edward Jacob Cullen-Black, do you take Sara Sue Clearwater-Call to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

Territorial tone. "I do."

"You may now kiss the bride!"

As EJ embraced his new wife, I couldn't hold the tears back any longer. My oldest daughter was married and pregnant, my son just got married himself, and my youngest daughter had her future set out for her with the man she'll one day belong to as well. Everyone I loved was leaving the nest.

"Shh, don't cry, Nessie." Jacob said, soothing me in a way that only he ever could. "It's going to be alright. I'm still here." He looked at me, a playful smile on his lips. "I'll never leave the nest."

For once, I didn't even care that I had accidently projected my deepest fears. I knew in my heart that Jacob was right. Though my children were all moving out, I would always be their mother. And, I would always have my Jacob.

"That's the spirit." Jacob said with a wicked grin, much different than before. "Besides, I'm going to like having you all to myself again."

I smiled at that. Jacob always knew just what to say.
