So sorry about the forever waiting update. I'm horrible. But thank you for reading anyways.
(Edward POV)
Six months later.
"Come here Anthony," I picked my son up out of his crib. I looked around his room. "I think you like the jungle theme just as much as I do." I kissed his forehead and walked out of the room with him. When I walked into the kitchen I could smell the aroma of sugar, waffles, syrup, eggs, bacon, and all that good stuff.
"Is our little trooper gettng up?" Bella asked me when she set down the spatchula. I nodded and walked him around the island to Bella. She kissed the back of our son's head and smiled up at me. I leaned down and pressed a warm kiss onto her mouth.
"Ready for another one?" I joked when I pulled back.
"At least let me get my figure back and remember how to walk without feeling like a penguin." She insisted and wrapped an arm around my waist. We both stared down at our son.
"It's exactly what I thought and completely different at the same time." I murmured as he opened his big green eyes. Eyes just like me, Bella likes to say. But his mouth is just like hers. He made a gurgle noise and Bella ushered off to make his bottle.
"Funny how we have one, Alice sees it and falls in love with it and now she's pregnant. She thought she hated kids." I chuckled once without humour.
"Well, she was going through a lot and as I said, I talked to her. She just... felt like she could never live up to you."
I snorted. "Yeah, right."
"Well when she came back into your life, she realized how happy you actually are and felt bad about the past. About leaving you. But you managed. And now she sees you've forgiven her and now everyone can be happy."
"How can I not be happy with you and this little one?" I muttered and use my index finger to trace Anthony's cheek. "How can you not love him?"
"Well, you can't not love him. And I don't care what Alice has said in the past. Remember now, she said she's going to therapy to help her marriage for the past two months and now she's pregnant, well since last week."
"That therapy must work."
"She's a lot different already. I noticed changing after her first few sessions. She's letting go of the past baggage." Bella took the warm milk bottle out of the beeping microwave and tested it on her wrist. She brought the bottle over to me and I gave it to my son.
"Goodness, he has you appetite." Bella joked when we both watched him grab onto the bottle and suck greedily.
"Hungry man." I chuckled.
The air inside the house felt so light and open. The house felt like a home finally. Bella and I couldn't be happier. We started a family together. We got a house to live in and raise our son. We love each other.
Rose and Em are married and are planning on making a family. Alice and Jasper are in therapy and things are looking better. My son' healthy, happy and my wife is perfectly at ease.
I decided that in the fall I would do some online courses and get a degree. So what if I had plenty of money, it will be nice to have something on the side. A career. I wanted to support my family.
"Let's go have breakfast," Bella said and grabbed onto my arm. "Anthony's not the only hungry one."
...
"He's just the cutest!" Alice chirped and squeezed my son's finger. He laughed. I looked around the room where Rose, Alice, Emmett, Jasper, Bella, Anthony, and I were sitting and enjoying the Sunday. Iced tea was in the pitcher on the table and laughter was being spread around like flees.
It was an amazing day.
"I would like to propose a toast." I suddenly said. I raised my glass up and everyone else did the same. Anthony just laid on his back on the floor and stared up at everyone.
"I just want to thank you all for everything. I am the happiest I have ever been. I have friends and family. I have you all. It's a blessed feeling. I have my sister again, a beautiful wife, and a little son in my life. I have never felt more... alive. I am surrounded by love and happiness. I want to thank you all for everything. May we all live happy lives."
"I cheer to that man!" Emmett shouted. "And Alice, I get the kid after you. Stop hogging."
We all clinked glasses and Bella sat on my lap enjoying the company of everyone. I leaned forward and kissed the back of her ear, pulled her back tight against my chest. "I love you."
"I love you." She whispered. "That was an amazing speech. I can feel the happiness here."
"Me too. It's the best feeling in the world. Thank you."
She leaned back against me more. "I finally feel at home."
"We are." I promised her. "We're home to stay."
A/N: Okay, I get the award for being the most procrastinator of a writer on all of fanfiction. I finally finished this because I refuse to post another story before finishing up the rest of mine. So far, so good. I wonder if any of you are still around. Sorry about the ending, I just... was lost on this story for a long time. I knew it was near the end the last chapter so I decided to conclude it here. They're happy. It's resolved. I'm satisfied... are you?
Thank you, as always, for reading. I hope you enjoyed!
The End!
