A/N: So... final chapter? Indeed it is, I'm afraid.

And you wouldn't believe how difficult it is to write a funeral speech, especially one about a vampire, and with Charlie present I couldn't mention about his turning or anything, and obviously they have to speak as if they're all human (hence Esme's speech). But thanks to 'Cold Feet' and Adam's funeral speech, it gave me some ideas... my God the tears were flowing for me :'(

The links to the clothes are on my profile.

Epilogue: Let me Sign (Edward's Funeral)

Samantha P.O.V

Today was the day. The day of the funeral. A day nobody ever thought they would have to endure. It was only going to be a small one, the Cullens were obviously going, me, Mom, Luke, Alec and Marcus were also going. Jacob had said he would go, and so did Grandpa Charlie.

I woke up early, one reason being I couldn't really sleep. Alec was sat at the end of my bed, going through one of my photo albums.

"Alec?" I groaned.

He looked over, "Morning, sleepy." He smiled, I looked at the album, "You don't mind, do you?"

"No, go ahead, which one is it?" I asked, shuffling closer to him.

"Baby photos."

"Oh God." I commented, trying to straighten out my hair.

"You nervous about today?" He asked, I shook my head.

"Nope, I guess... after reading that letter, it made me feel better." I said, he smiled and kissed me.

I got dressed, a little black dress I've had along time, but never worn. Mom wore something similar, she looked so beautiful in hers. Alec, Jacob, Luke and Marcus wore simple black suits.

We drove to the Cullen's house in silence, with no idea where the funeral was being held. We entered and saw Grandpa Charlie there already, talking to Carlisle.

When everyone as sat down, Alice stood up.

"Okay, I think you're all wondering where the funeral is being held?" Everyone nodded. "Well, Bella will know where I'm taking about. But when we left Forks, Edward kept mentioning a meadow, in which he showed us when we returned. That's where we will bury him." I saw Mom smile. "He said it was special." Alice added.

Mom chuckled, "Yeah, it was our meadow." She said.

We all walked down there. It wasn't a long walk, only up from behind the Cullen's house. When we appeared through the trees, the scenery was beautiful. All the flowers, purple, yellow and pink. And the trees around it were amazing. But in the centre, perfectly placed, was the coffin. Light brown, with flowers on the sides.

"Carlisle and Emmett did it yesterday." Alice whispered.

"It's... beautiful."

We all approached the coffin, I held Alec's hand tightly, the cold didn't really bother me anymore. Carlisle was stood at the front, with Esme close by him. I looked at Alec, who slipped me a tissue into my free hand, I mouthed a thank you.

"What can I say?" Carlisle began. "I've lost my son. He... he was the greatest son anyone could ask for, a part from Jasper and Emmett, of course." I looked at them, they nodded.

"It's funny, I never thought we'd have to do this yet, not now." He sighed, Alec had is arm around me now. "Edward was... unique. I never thought he'd be happy like my other kids are, but when he found Bella, he was like a new person. I'd never seen him so happy. But when we left, I knew he regretted it, everything. And when we returned and he found out about Samantha and Luke, we didn't know how he'd react... annoyed with himself, like we expected? No, he was over the moon." He took a long pause, looked at Esme, and then at the coffin, "I'll miss you, son."

I felt the first of my tears escape.

He looked at Esme, she stepped forward, "Edward was my first son. Well, not technically, I had another son from a previous marriage, also named Edward, sadly he died too when he was a few days old. To be honest I never thought I'd have to experience his funeral, like Carlisle said--" She looked down, I knew she was crying tearlessly like Mom did. She shook her head and went into Carlisle's arms.

There was silence for a few minutes, but I had something I wanted to say.

"If I may?" I asked, Carlisle nodded whilst he cradled Esme still. I stepped forward and faced everyone. "Well... my Dad." I tried to chuckle, but I couldn't. "I'd only known him for a few weeks, but for those weeks I felt like I had a family. A real family. I hated him at first, I hated what he did to my Mom, I hated that he didn't come back... but inside me I guess there was something that loved him, despite everything. But when he died, I felt guilty, like it was my fault from the start, but it wasn't, he told me that in the letter he left." I stopped, let more tears fall, and then I looked at the coffin, "I'll miss you, so, so much."

The tears escaped. I ran back to Alec's arms and cried into his shoulder, I felt Mom's and Luke's arms appear on my back.

----

We left for the Cullen's house. It was the after 'party'.

"Does anyone want anything, uh... a drink, maybe?" Rosalie asked, I shook my head, wiping my eyes. I heard a few more mutters after.

"You okay now, Sam?" Mom asked, rubbing my back. I nodded.

"I can't cry forever... are you okay, Mom?" I asked, she nodded.

"I'd have to give you the same answer." I gave her a weak smile.

"I'll be talking to Alice if you need me." She said, I nodded.

I leant my head on Alec's shoulder. We linked hands, and I smiled weakly again.

"What are you going to do after this? Are you coming to Italy?" He asked, I shrugged.

"I don't know what I'm going to do."

"We could... have our own little coven."

"Our own?"

"Yeah, me, you... maybe your Mom and Luke and Marcus?" He suggested, I shrugged and sat up.

"I suppose... where would we go?"

"There's lots of places... how about Alaska?" He asked.

I smiled. "Alaska." I said, I looked at him. "Yes, Alaska. Perfect." He smiled too, and leant forward to kiss me.

"Forever starts here." He whispered afterwards.

"Yes, it does." I said, kissing him again. "Our future."

THE END!

I honestly thought that was the best way to end it... it then leads on to the sequel!

I LOVED WRITING THIS AND HATE IT TO END... THATS WHY THERES A SEQUEL!

THANKS FOR READING AND REVIEWING! LOVE YOU ALL!
