Think this will be my last chapter before the epilogue so I hope it's alright for you. It'll be nice to finally complete it, not that I haven't enjoyed writing it.

I would like to write a sequel and then a sequel to that and hopefully one day I will.

Carlisle groaned as he tried to sit up on the soft bed, it didn't work very well and he soon found himself with his head back on the pillow and his breath knocked out of him.

His family and friends stood and sat around him and his room. He tried to sit up again, but this time he found a hand pushing him down, he looked up to see Seth sitting there with his hand on Carlisle's chest stopping him from getting up.

Leah was on Seth's left next to Carlisle's head. On the other side of Carlisle sat Esca and Esme with Resme on her knee.

After Carlisle had spoken to everyone and they'd all filled him in on everything he had missed that Resme hadn't told him. Carlisle was placed on the sofa in the living room.

Esme sat on his left and Leah on his right, Resme sat on the floor with Esca and Sulpicia colouring happily.

There was suddenly a lull in the conversation, and a thought seemed to hit Resme hard. She wore a very worried expression on her face.

"Sally," Sulpicia nodded, running her fingers gently through Resme's soft, long, hair. " Are you going to leave soon?"

Resme looked close to tears as she said this.

Sulpicia placed a kiss on her forehead and nodded sadly.

"I don't want you to go!" Resme burst into uncontrollable tears. Sulpicia pulled her close rocking her slightly.

"I don't want to go either." Sulpicia said softly into her hair.

"Well…There just might be a way for us to stay together…"Esca said looking at Aro a small smile on her face.
