Chapter 16 – Back At The Begining

ZPOV (Zane)

I sat in mommy's room, on a chair across from the bed where mommy and daddy were. My brothers were right next to me—Gabe's arm around my shoulders. Mommy had been so upset and it hurt me to see her that way. I was scared when I was taken away but it was nothing compared to the fear that I was feeling now.

I was probably going to lose both my mommy and daddy now.

I just got daddy back, it was supposed to be a happy time, but it wasn't. We were finally going to be a family. Mommy was finally going to be really happy now. Then it was all taken away.

I guess wishes weren't meant to come true.

BPOV

I awoke in my room on my bed Edward next to me with his eyes closed. It took me only second for my mind to replay the events that had happened before. Sad and frightened at what was to come, I twisted myself from my back onto my side tucking my head into Edward's side and putting my arm over his chest. His body was still warmer than mine if not to warm.

I caught movement out of the corner of my eye and turned my head. Zane was standing on Edward's side of the bed looking at me; Gabe, Lucian and Darius were walking out of the room.

"Are you okay now mommy?" he asked looking up at me.

"I don't know baby, I don't know. Come here." I said sitting up and reaching for him.

He climbed up onto the bed from the bottom and crawled towards me and into my arms. I put my arms around him and held on tightly. My world seemed to be disintegrating around me and there was nothing I could do to stop it.

"Is daddy going to be okay mommy?"

"I don't think so sweetie. Daddy is very sick."

Tremors rocked his tiny body as he sat back and looked up at me. "He saved me. He pushed me out of the way. I don't want to lose daddy now. I just got him back, you were finally happy."

I pulled him back to me, my entire frame shaking now along with his. Zane pulled back from my arms and laid his head down onto Edward's chest, still shaking.

"Daddy can't go! I just got him back. It's not fair!" he practically yelled.

Once again I felt hopeless. I leaned down and put my arm over Zane, resting it on Edward's chest and rested my head on his shoulder. Breathing in and out rigidly, we stayed like that, hoping for a miracle.

Siete POV

I opened the door to Izzy's room and walked in. The sight I saw made me sick to the core.

Edward still lay motionless on his back the way that we had put him, Zane was resting against his side shuttering, and Izzy was tucked close to Edward; Zane in between them.

From what I had heard about the toxin it didn't take very long to dissolve the venom. I looked at the clock next to the bed.

3AM.

It had been four hours since Edward had been hit and injected with the poison. I knew that he didn't have much longer and I could tell that Izzy knew the same.

Over the last 70 years Izzy had become a daughter to me, and seeing her in such distress was more upsetting that anything in the entire world.

Gabriel, Lucian, and Darius were feeling the effects of this event as well. To them Edward may be the person who broke Izzy's heart, but they understood that he still held it. Izzy is like a mother to them and they would support her no matter what she did.

Edward's family, Kat, and Jeremy waited down stairs in the living room, their emotions all over the place. We all knew that we were not only going to lose Edward but Izzy and possibly Zane as well.

Caleb had been gone for two hours. No one knew where he went but he took off not long after we had gotten back. He was closer to Izzy as I was, so this was even harder for him. We figured he just needed some time to be alone.

I shook my head turning away from the three on the bed and headed back down stairs. No one looked up as I entered the room; they all knew what was going on.

I had just sat down on the couch when the front door slammed open.

"I found it!" yelled Caleb's voice as he came flying into the room. In his hand were two silver vials. "I found the antidote!"

I jumped from my seat like everyone else.

"Are you sure it's the antidote not the toxin?" I asked. From what Aro had told me there was no antidote.

"Yeah watch." He pulled out a small petri dish (A/N For those of you who haven't taken Bio it's a small round container.) and sat it onto the table in the middle of the room. He then took out one of the needles from the darts and jabbed it into his arm, extracting a small amount of venom.

He then placed the venom into the dish and added one of the liquids from the silver vials.

"Okay, I'll add the toxin to the venom in the dish and you'll see what happens." He added the toxin and slowly but surely the venom was being eaten away like acid on a rock. "Now I'll add in the antidote."

He pulled a small amount of the antidote out and poured it onto he venom spot. The venom stopped dissolving. It didn't reform but it stopped the toxin where it was.

"How did you find this?" Carlisle asked over the gasping people in the room.

"The other half of the lab was underground, it wasn't touched by the fire. I went looking through the cabinets and found it labeled Antidote. I tested it out and it worked. I also grabbed the rest of the toxin and the antidotes, as well as the info they pulled from Zane in the files." He nodded his head towards a duffel bag in the corner.

"Will it be effective if we gave it to Edward now? Even after all this time?" Carlisle's wife, Esme I believe, asked stepping towards me with hope locked in her eyes.

"It should stop it from going any farther. If it works he'll need to hunt everyday for about the next 2 weeks. At first his energy will be gone as the antidote takes effect but it should wake him up within a few hours if it works." I said. I looked over to Caleb who was already loading a needle into the vial.

"Let's go." He smiled and took off up the stairs. We all followed.

BPOV

I heard footsteps running up the stairs, and then I heard my door open. Everyone walked in. It wasn't until I noticed the silver container that Caleb handed Siete that I started hissing. They were going to try to kill Edward!

Siete walked towards me and I jumped to the floor at the bottom of my bed. They weren't getting anywhere near him.

"Izzy, it's okay it's just the antidote. It will make Edward better but we need to give it to him now or it might not work." Siete held out the container for me to see.

Could I trust him on this?

I looked back to Edward and Zane. Zane was still curled into Edward's side. I knew that Edwards was dieing but could I really know that it would work? That it would bring him back to me?

"Bella, they tested it. It does work. We have to help him now or we may be to late." I looked back to Carlisle who had moved next to Siete in front of the rest of the group.

I contemplated for a moment. Then decided.

If I was going to lose Edward anyway, I had to at least try.

I nodded my head and stepped to the side, so Siete could pass. He walked passed me and went to Edwards side. Zane lifted his head and growled then looked over to me for reassurance.

I walked over to the other side of the bed where I had been and sat down grabbing Zane into my arms. I held him while Siete inserted the needle into Edward's arm.

"It may take an hour or two for him to come around, we'll see how he's doing then." Siete said backing away and rejoining the group. They all turned and walked out, closing the door behind them.

"Is daddy going to be okay now mommy?" my baby asked looking up to me, then glancing at his father.

"We'll see, baby. They gave him some medicine but we won't know for a while if it worked or not."

"If daddy does get better are we going to be a real family?"

"Yes sweetie, we will."

"Even Gabe, Lue, and D?"

"We wouldn't be a family without them." I said pulling him against me.

After a minute Zane pulled back and laid his head back onto Edward's chest. "You need to get better daddy so we can be a family" he whispered.

I smiled and lay back down next to him taking a hold of Edward's hand, entwining my fingers with his. Waiting.

EPOV

The burning finally stopped.

I felt tired and weak but the burning was gone.

I lay there for a moment thinking about what had happened. Then I remembered.

I had intercepted a dart that was headed for Zane. That meant he was safe.

I slowly became aware of my body again.

I felt a slight weight on my right side and chest and I felt pressure on my right arm.

Slowly with some effort I opened my eyes. It took a minute for them to adjust but I could finally make out where I was. I was in Bella's room.

I looked down and noticed that the weight I felt at my side and chest was Zane. My son was here with me and he was okay, not a scratch on him from what I saw.

"Edward?"

I slowly turned my head to see Bella looking at me. She looked so tired and worn out.

"Edward are you okay?" she asked leaning in towards me more. From the corner of my eyes I saw Zane look up.

"Daddy?"

I looked back at him, "Hey kiddo." My voice was surprisingly low and hoarse.

"Daddy you're okay!" he said and threw his arms around my neck. I was surprised again at how stiff my muscles were.

"Zane easy." I heard Bella laugh.

It was music to my ears. I pulled my left arm up and placed it over Zane. It just felt so right having him there.

I looked back over to Bella. "Are you okay?"

"You almost died and you're asking me if I'm okay?" the sadness in her eyes was clearly visible.

I squeezed her hand lightly "I'm okay now right? So there's no reason for you to worry. I'm not going anywhere."

She nodded and reached over and kissed me. My dead heart seemed to flutter.

This was my family now. This was where I belonged.

"Where are the others?" I asked looking around.

"Oh, hold on." Bella said getting up off of the bed. She headed over to the door. I immediately felt the pain of her leaving, my instinct screaming to not let her go.

"Guys, he's up!" she called and returned. "Sound proof room. It has its benefits." She smiled.

A sudden rush of footsteps and a half a second latter, everyone was in the room.

Zane had moved to sit beside me, while my family, who I could tell were more worried then I had ever seen them, and the others all did the whole 'how are you?' spiel. Honestly my mind was too focused on Bella and Zane to really pay attention to everyone else.

Carlisle handed Bella and I a cup and handed Zane a sippy cup. I carefully, with help from Bella downed its continents. My energy level went up some. I was finally able to sit up on my own. I placed the empty cup by the other 5 filled cups on the table next to the bed.

Emmett came walking over and 'lightly' slapped his hand against my shoulder. "Hey, hey Edday. God do you look dead! Ha, ha get it? Dead." He laughed.

No one else laughed, they just looked at him. Alice walked over and handed me my jacket that I had left with them in Barcelona.

'You may need this'

After a few minutes they decided to leave Bella, Zane and I alone. I looked over to the clock. It was 5:30AM. The sun was about to come up.

I reached over and grabbed another cup; Zane was sitting in my lap his small cup on the table on Bella's side of the bed along with hers. I was able to finish half of that cup but that was it.

"Bella, I'm sorry that all this happened. I promise that if you give me some more time I can prove to you that I'm not going tom leave. That this can actually…"

"Edward stop. I'm not giving you anymore time to prove yourself." She paused. I was shocked until she spook again. "I'm not giving you more time because you don't need it. You beyond proved yourself when you saved our son. You showed just how much you really cared about him."

"So daddy is part of the family now? We're finally whole?" Zane said smiling up at her.

"Yes, if he still wants to be." She laughed then looked over to me.

"Are you gonna stay daddy? Are you going to be with mommy forever?" He looked at me the excitement glowing in his blue and gold eyes.

"I don't know kiddo, that all depends on one thing." I said looking down at him, a sad look on my face.

He looked upset and stunned, so did Bella. "On what?" he asked.

I reached down and grabbed my jacket and reached into the inside pocket. 'Perfect' I thought.

I grabbed the box and pulled my hand out. I looked back to Zane, the box hidden in my hand.

"Well, it all depends on if your lovely mothers says 'yes'." I stuck my hand out to him and opened the small velvet box reveling my mothers' wedding ring.

I heard Bella gasp from beside me.

I looked over to her, my eyes locked onto her teal ones. She was shocked.

I turned back to Zane who had snatched the box from my hand studying the diamonds that sparkled in the rising sunlight. He looked over to Bella.

"Mommy! Are you going to say yes?! Are we going to be together forever?!" he yelled jumping up from my lap to start jumping on the bed. He gave the ring to her a moment later. "Please mom?!"

"I don't know that all depends." She said looking at him sternly.

"On what now?" Zane whined, dropping to his knees in front of her. I was shocked too.

"It depends on if your father is going to put it on my hand or not." She ended the sentence smiling over at me, her eyes holding the question.

Zane handed me the box. "Well what are you waiting for?" He said impatiently.

I pulled the ring from the box and grabbed Bella's left hand. I placed the ring on her ring finger.

It was a perfect fit. I looked back up to her; she was smiling.

"So what do you say? Does forever with me still hold the same value it did 70 years ago?" I asked.

She pulled her hand away, looking at the ring. "No." she said and then grabbed Zane and leaned over and kissed me. "It means a whole lot more."

"So you're going to be together forever now, you're getting married?" Zane asked breaking away, a huge smile on his face.

"Yes." We both answered.

"YES!!" Zane shouted and bolted from the room yelling the whole way, "They're getting married!! Mommy and daddy are going to be together forever now!!!"

Bella and I just laughed.

"Thank you." I said pulling her to me. "I love you. Forever."

She smiled back at me. "I love you, forever too."

I heard Alice's voice yell from down stairs. "Okay you two I'll give you today but tomorrow the planning begins!"

Bella and I just laughed.

~~~~~~~~~~ 1 year later…August 13, 2078…The Wedding ~~~~~~~~~~~

Bella just wanted a small wedding. So that's what we did. If you could count about 150 people small.

Both my family and Bella's were there, Old friends of both of the families, and surprisingly the Volturi.

Everything went off without a hitch. The girls looked great. Their bridesmaid dresses were sort in the front and long in the back and lilac in color. (the link to this dress is on my profile page. just type the syle number listed next to it in the search box in the upper right hand corner. it should be the fist dress that comes up just change the color.)

The guys, and to my surprise Emmett, looked good.

Bella, well she took my breath away. The dress was white and sleeveless. Only a section of the top was embroidered with beads, it was form fitting and full length. She was absolutely beautiful. (do the same as with the girl's dresses but use the number for this one. It a beautiful dress. It should also be the first dress.)

Siete walked her down the isle and we did our 'I do's."

We exchanged vows and Zane; our designated ring bearer brought us down the rings.

The reception was just as amazing.

Of course our song was Claire De Lune by Debussy. Bella wasn't as shy about dancing now and we danced most of the night.

I got to know her friends and of course they all threatened that if I hurt her again they would all personally hunt me down.

I got to know my other three sons more, as well. They were really good kids and I was excited to get to see them on a day-to-day basis.

Our families and I sat down prior to the wedding and discussed the living arrangements.

Bella, Zane, the other boys, and I lived together. If humans asked if Bella and I were together, Zane was adopted, and Gabe, Lucian, and Darius were our cousins.

My family all stayed together. Siete was now engaged after being single for so many years, which Bella picks on him for. Caleb and Bella's other friends live together, and Kat and Jeremy were scheduled to get married in 6 months.

Though each group lived separately we all live with in a 30-mile radius of each other and we spent almost all of our time together.

It was weird for all of us at first, we all missed each other, but seeing each other almost everyday helped to ease that discomfort. (I know it OOC but it had to be that way)

~~~~~~~~~~ The day after the wedding ~~~~~~~~~~

Zane had stayed with Siete along with Gabe, Lucian, and Darius to give Bella and I time alone.

It was enjoyable. Mostly we talked about what had been going on in our lives, and just spend the night relaxing in each other's arms…among other things.

That morning Emmett stopped by to drop the kids off.

I walked into the kitchen with Emmett while Bella greeted the boys, taking longer then I did.

"Sooo Eddie. How loud did it get last night? Aren't you glad that Siete took the kids?" Emmett smiled.

"Actually the rooms are sound proof. So Emmy, whether we got 'loud' or not will stay between my mate and I." I said looking back at him. Daring him to say something.

"Oh, so little Eddie The Prude One finally has joined the new century. Although I must say Bella does have a nice body, and I'd bet she'd be good in bed." He laughed.

I growled at him. A clear warning to leave my mate out of it.

Bella walked up behind me and wrapped her arms around my waist kissing my shoulder and looking around to Emmett.

"For your unneeded information Emmett, 'little' Eddie isn't as little as you think." She said smiling.

I was shocked. I looked over at her, "Why are you egging him on?"

"Well at least she's open about her sex life. Why don't you be Eddie? I'm always open with mine." Em laughed again.

Both Bella and I turned to him, "We know."

"Well I'm going to play some B-ball with the boys see ya!" And with that he was gone.

I turned to pull Bella into my arms. "Why did you do that?"

She laughed. "Because I can and because I was about to say that for someone who never had sex till the age of 105 you were a lot better in bed then him. Though I can't really say that, I'm sure I can convince Rose to let me borrow him for a night but.."

I growled at her, "That's not funny. You're mine and if the ring, the wedding, Zane, and last night didn't prove it; I guess I'll have to lock you up in a room. "

She laughed and kissed me. "Calm down oh overprotective mate of mine, I'm all yours."

I rolled my eyes. Only her. She was more confident now, not as shy as she was 71 years ago.

"Where's Zane?" I asked looking around.

"He's up in his room I believe. You want to go see him?"

I nodded and soon enough we were walking up towards his room. Zane was a huge part of my life now. I spent most of my time either with Bella or him and the other boys.

If someone had told me 100 years ago that I would have a child and a mate who meant more then the world to me I would have laughed and told them to get a life. But here it was. My future.

We walked into Zane's room to find him walking around searching for something. Like his mother I couldn't read his mind so I was at a loss as to what to even look for.

"What are you looking for kiddo?"

He turned to me. "I'm missing a piece to a puzzle. It's an important puzzle I've been working on for a while. 8000 pieces and I lose the most important one. I've looked everywhere." He sighed. "I guess I'll have to get another and start all over."

I though for a moment and remembered that I had found something along the lines of a puzzle piece at Elite last year.

I turned and walked into our room.

I pulled out the suitcase from Barcelona that was still yet to be unpacked, and opened up one of the pockets.

I pulled out the small piece and walked back to Zane's room.

"What color is the piece? Do you know?" I asked.

"It should be different shades of pink. It's okay I'll just get another one." He sighed, turning back to slide a huge case back under his bed.

"Well is this the piece?" I held out the small cardboard key shaped piece.

Zane's eyes went wide. "How did you find it?" he asked grabbing it from my hand.

"Back in Barcelona in the hallway at Elite. I saw it and picked it up."

Bella smiled and grabbed my hand then looked at Zane. "Well finish the puzzle, we want to see."

He pulled the case out from under his bed and sat it on the blue comforter.

He opened it and placed the piece inside. He smiled. "All done. The puzzle is finally complete."

Bella and I walked over and looked at the picture of the puzzle.

We just started laughing at the irony.

The puzzle was a picture of what started all of this.

It was a picture of a lion and a lamb touching noses.

The touching noses was the part that I had had.

"Mommy said something about you saying you two were like a lion and lamb. I saw the puzzle and couldn't resist. I thought that maybe if I finished it, it would bring us all together as a whole family. Like I said before "A family is a lot like a puzzle. It can be any size and have many pieces but if you take a piece away, or lose a piece then the puzzle is never really completed. You really can't have a 'completed puzzle' without all the pieces, just like you can never really have a 'family', without your whole family.""

My dead heart seemed to melt. I looked over at Bella who had her hands over her mouth, shock and happiness in her eyes.

We looked back to Zane.

"I guess it really did work. You found the piece and you and mommy got back together and now its complete. It's all whole again." He smiled.

Bella and I laughed and hugged Zane close. It was funny how in my 177 years of life it was a child who taught me the most important lesson of all.

When you believe in something hard enough that wish will come true.

And mine had. I had an amazing family, the greatest mate anyone could ask for, three sons that have become part of my family, and a son who taught me so much in so little time.

Most people ask 'if you could go back in time would you change the past and not be what you are?' Before 71 years ago the answer would have been yes, but now, I wouldn't change anything for the world.
