Hi ya'll. I hope you're having a splendid break (if you are having your summer hols, I know I am). Anyways, after many many months, I have FINALLY finished the last chapter of TLG.

Yes, yes, I know, I'm beyond late. But in my defence, April, May and June are really busy months for me, due to schoolwork. And I swear I promised myself to type this up during summer hols (which I am right now), but then something happened and it blew me off track again. So, apologies and hope ya'll forgive me.

Now, if you read 'chapter' 9, you would know that I DID not write this. This is from a contest, and I received amazingly written chapters. So, because of the fact I can't choose, I decided to compile the replies together, and edit it a bit here and there.

I want to thank: VAMPIRELOVER922010 and SINGERGURLXOXO for taking the time to write it. Thanks so much you guys, this chapter goes out to you. Also, I want to thank all the reviewers who have followed this story and anyone who is still around to read this, THANKS.

So here it is, the last chapter. EDWARD'S. Tissues ready? Alright, GO!

"Come on, Edward. She'd want you to read your letter," Alice tried to convince me to read my letter from my Bella, my beautiful Bella. It was bad enough I wanted to throw that sick child out the window, never mind read about my dead wife's thoughts when she was dying. I'd be damned if I ever read this letter.

"Alice, I can't," I simply said, and I then I heaved myself of the sofa, and slouching, I dragged my feet as I walked away from the living room, to somewhere silent to mourn in peace. Just then, something hit me at the back of my head. Turning around, I saw that it was the envelope that held my letter. You owe it toher, man, he thought. "Fine," I grumbled, "I'll read the letter."

I opened it, and was engulfed with her sweet strawberry scent. My eyes blurred as I saw her beautiful handwriting, as well as some blotches of black ink. I could almost imagine her sitting propped up against the sofa, writing this damned letter about her own demise, sobbing and cradling her stomach.

Dear Edward,

If you are reading this then that must mean that I am dead, and I can't even begin to imagine how hard this is for you. But Edward, my love, you have to be strong. I can hear and feel my heart breaking and shattering whist I write this, as I know that I won't be by your side comforting you, but no matter what Edward, I will always be watching over you. Love, I know this is going to be hard on you but you have to remember that you have a daughter to look after, and she needs her daddy right now more than ever. So please, I'm begging you here, don't do anything stupid like going to the Volturi, because that is not what I want. You need to think of Nessie now because she will need you more than ever, after all she might have inherited my clumsiness!

Even though she is sick she still tries to lighten the mood but nothing could ever make me smile again, not now my reason for existing is gone. She is right, I do have a daughter now and she will always remind me of Bella but I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. Her chestnut hair, her chocolate eyes, her beautiful face. Every single thing about our daughter screams Bella. How could I ever live when I see the love of my life every time I look at the girl, the love of my live that I failed to protect. "Don't do anything stupid" why did she ask the one thing I didn't want to do? How can being with the one you love be stupid? I guess I can see where she is going with this though because no matter what I feel or what I want I do have a little girl to look after and with or without this letter I would already have known that I needed to look after her.

Beloved, I can't even begin to describe how much I love you. My life was never the same before I met you, and for the first time in my life, I felt complete. Before I came to Forks, I felt like I had no goals, no aims, no nothing. But then you came along and changed everything, gave me a new light and new hope. You changed me, love. I still can't understand how such an angel like you, could fall for someone so plain like me. But with all my heart, I am thankful to all the deities and gods up there that you did. We have had a long journey, you and me, and it hasn't been an easy ride. We have had to fight to stay together, which only made are love for one other that much stronger. I want you to know that none of this is your fault, because it is no one's fault. I know that you and a lot of your family are blaming themselves, but you shouldn't. You all have given me the best two years of my life, which was filled with love and most of all, a family. Edward you know I have never had what would have called a normal family, and although I did feel a little out of place with all of you, I still felt like I was a part of a family. I was finally given a chance to be the daughter that I was supposed to be, given that my biological parents never actually treated me properly like a daughter.

The moment I introduce her to my family, she became our family. Everyone loved
her, and welcomed her with open arms…well most of them did. Although Rosalie
might of acted like she hated Bella, on the inside I know she was just jealous
but over time even Rosalie took a liking to her. Jasper stood at the back, and acted distant, but really, he just didn't want to risk any harm to her, and Jasper really really loved her like his sister.

Please my love; don't do anything that will cause more pain to everyone. I know you are taking this hard, but you have to put Nessie first. When you found out about my pregnancy, you were dead-set against it, but for me, it was the best gift in the entire world. I couldn't loose that, couldn't make any one of you loose something so impossible, and so precious and unique. I am 100% sure that Nessie will look like you and I know that she will have a teensy bit of me (though I hope that's not prominent, I don't want our daughter to look plain) in her, so don't be too sad. You need to be the best father in the world to her, which I have absolute faith that you will be.

She has way too much faith in me and she sounded like she already knew what kind of
father I would be. I knew Bella loved Nessie as soon as she found out about her, and all she wanted was for me to feel the same. But how could I love something that was killing my reason for living? I admit that the first time I saw Nessie, I did feel an instant bound with her. Maybe I could stick around for Nessie and wait till she is older with her own family before I go and join Bella? After all, I'm the only one who can really tell her what her wonderful mother was like, and tell her all the memories we shared with one another.

I know sometimes I moaned about how overprotective you are, and I know my stubbiness didn't help. I wish I had said this earlier but, I am grateful of how you always protected me from danger. I have lost count how many times you have saved my life and I can't thank you enough for that. Edward I want you to stop feeling responsible for all the bad things that happened to me, and to stop blaming yourself for them, because it gets you nowhere, dear. Think of all the good you have done being in my life, and how much stronger and happier I was when I'm with you.

My family use to say how us being together change not just her, but me as well. When I first met Bella, she was so shy and she always looked uncomfortable and fidgety. But as the months went on in our relationship, I did see her change and become more confident. But one thing that never changed about Bella was her heart and her love for people. Even though she is really ill she has taken the time to write all these letters, and telling us all the things she left unsaid.

As I am writing this I can feel myself getting weaker, which means that I don't have long and I want to tell you as much as I can. Please be happy, I know it's going to take time but as my last wish, but please Edward just try to be happy. Try and find love again, because no matter what you say, you can love again Edward, and you deserve to be happy, to love and be loved in return. I don't want to look down on you and see you upset all the time, my dear, I want to see you smiling that crooked grin I love so much, and laughing that deep baritone laugh that lightens up your beautiful face.

It broke my heart to hear how ill she was when she was writing this, and maybe if I had knew what she was doing, I would have made her rest. She must have been feeling ill because how could she ever think I would want another person that wasn't her? How could she think I would be happy with anyone that wasn't her? I would never try and replace Bella with anyone, but one thing I could do, was try and be happy. Well at least try not to be sad, because she is right, I don't want her looking down she me crying over her because that will make her feel bad and I didn't want that.

When Nessie gets older please let her know that I love her with all my heart and I will be looking down on her every day. Tell her stories: about me, about us. Tell her about love, our love, and show her there is love. Talk to her about how we met and the adventures we went on together and most importantly, tell her that I love her, and that I wish I could've been there for her. To see her grow up, and listen to her say her first words. To watch her graduate, and calm you down when you ground her for being out late. To 'cry' at her wedding as she walks down the aisle, and to carry my grandbaby. Tell her that she will never be alone, because I will be watching over her always. I love her Edward, and I hope you can see her the same way. She's our angel, Edward. Our little angel. Tell her that she was the best thing that ever happened to me. And I already have a feeling that she is going to be Jacobs imprint, so when Jake comes to ask for permission in her hand of marriage, tell them they already have my blessing and I am sorry I couldn't be at the wedding in person but will be looking from above.

I wanted to cry but no tires came out. I love Bella more than anything is this word and hearing her talk about Nessie like that just made my heart ache with pain. Indeed, that mutt is our daughter's imprint and at first I was angry at him for even looking at Nessie, but I didn't really have much time to act on it before Bella...d-died. I can't believe someone so pure and beautiful could fall in love with someone like me, perfect on the outside, monster on the inside. It felt like I was always waiting for her to run away screaming but she never did. She did love me and it took awhile for me to understand just how much she did and I will always be grateful that she saw me for who I am, and not just what I am.

Edward I know you think you don't have a soul, and that you're this horrible monster but you're not. It truly upsets me to know you feel that way. You're an angel to me, love, God's gift from above. And we created the most precious gift in the world together, our beautiful daughter. You saved me countless times, and you are humane. You didn't give into your primal instincts and drain me dry, you made sure I was never hurt again. Above all, you love and cherish, and a soulless monster could never do that. You're not a monster, you are my angel, and I will love you for all eternity. For me, those moments we shared were unforgettable and it has filled my heart with tons of love and happiness. Don't forget me, but move one and be happy. Let me be a distant memory. Miss me, but let me go. This is all part of Fate's game, and perhaps Alice was wrong, I'm not destined to be one of you. Humans have a habit of dying, you know. I did. I guess I had been escaping death too long, huh? James, Victoria, the Volturi, and all the accidents. I guess Fate got fed up playing.

How can someone like me, be an angel. I caused this, I caused all of this. I shouldn't have started dating her, being with her. I furthermore shouldn't have come back and beg for her forgiveness. And the biggest mistake in everything? I shouldn't have married her, and made love with her. Everything is my fault; I am to blame. I am unworthy of all her compliments. If it were not for me, she would be happy, studying in the University in Seattle, probably dating the mutt and most importantly, ALIVE.

I know my death caused a lot of sorrow and hurt, but love, I'm glad I spent these last few months of my life with you, and your family. I never deserved to be in this perfection, but you accepted me in anyways. And now, I've provided you all with a new member to take my place, and I died doing that, but I couldn't have died for a better cause. I died for her, our daughter, ours. Part of you, and part of me. What we made, was something so amazing. She is something amazing. Take care of her, and take care of yourself. Be strong, and let me go. I'll be watching over you, all of you. Have a happy life, Edward, I love you so much.

Love and Goodbye,
Mrs Isabella Marie Swan Cullen

I fell to the ground holding my chest, because it felt as though my heart would crash into tiny pieces and fall to the ground. Bella's gone... she's really gone. I read her note over and over, even though I could remember everything she wrote the first time I read it. Bella Cullen, that name which I have been waiting so long to hear from her lips, now held a different meaning. Bella is right, as always...I need to be strong for our baby girl, and be the best father any child would ever wish for. A father, that Bella would be proud of. Looking skywards, I spoke to the heavens, where I'm sure Bella was watching, "Bella, my love, my beautiful angel. I will always love you, no matter where you are. Please love, stay safe until I can be there."

I pressed one last kiss onto the letter, and looking around the meadow that I had ran to before I started reading, I noticed the small poppies growing in the grass. Bella's favourite. And a gentle breeze swept by, bringing in the sweet vanilla scent of my beloved, the poppies swayed gently. The beams of sunlight illuminated our meadow, giving everything, including myself, a shower of warmth. Heaving myself off the ground, I turned to leave and head back to the manor, but just as I was about to follow the trail that led home, I turned around and whispered once more to the skies, "I love you."

And as another springtime breeze blew by, the faint whispers of a feminine voice were heard about the meadow. Soft and light, the breeze caressed the grasses and poppies, also leaving behind the gentle reply.

"I love you too."

Well, that's a wrap for my story. I could do a short short epilogue, if that is highly request. If not, then this is this end. I'm actually quite sad to see this story end, but regardless, I had fun writing this, and I hope you all had fun reading it too.

Thank you to all those that have stuck with me till this final chapter.

Check out my other story, which is my take on Bree's story.

Oh, and I know some people think that my writing skills are poor, so please leave some comments on my other story to help me improve. Thanks.

Love,

Broken ArchAngel
