A/N Thank you guys for the wonderful reviews, you know I love you all... and despite the begging this is the end. I had only ever intended this as a long oneshot, maybe spread into seven days of short chapters, so I think I grew pretty well. So here's your EPI and thank you so much for reading :*
Rescued.
Epilogue.
Two years later.
Edward's POV
A year from the day that we met Bella and I were married, then we legally adopted Nessie, though after just a couple of weeks she started to call me Daddy and she had called Bella momma from the day she was snatched. We are happy, I was still doing my residency but we still managed to find time for each other. Bella was busy writing and now we had another beautiful baby girl, Lillie Alice Cullen was born nine months after we moved in together, and we have now bought a house in the same street at mom and dad and Alice and Jasper.
Dad and Jasper had taken the jobs at the same hospital as me, and despite the ribbing I got from fellow residents I loved working with them both. Alice and Jaz were married last year and Baby Jackson was born just two months ago. Emmett and Angela became business partners and are getting married next year, they have a thriving business and are usually jetting off somewhere together, but all in all we are all happy. I'm pretty ecstatic at the moment having just found out that Bella and I are expecting again, a boy, and I can't wait.
Some news came through about Forks as Angela's parents still live there, Charlie lost his job after we left Forks, and not long after Sue went missing and Charlie killed himself, Sue was later found buried in the woods near his house. Leah and Seth are doing well, they tracked us down and after some major apologising on Leah's part she and Bella are at least talking now. She found a nice guy and they are happy, something she is indebted to Bella for.
I have one year left of residency to do, but Dad and Jasper have been seriously considering setting up a private practice and if they go head I will undoubtedly join them when I'm done. Working close to home and at set hours holds an awful lot of importance when I can be home and not missing my kids growing up. I know that Bella is eager for my residency to be over, whilst pregnant she is never slow to let me know that she misses me. My wife is insatiable at the best of times, but when she's pregnant and I am working long shifts I often find her trying to track me down at the hospital just so she can use me for sex. But of course with a beautiful woman like my wife I can honestly never get enough of her, so I'd never complain. Life is good and I am grateful everyday that Bella came into my life. Because of Bella I am more confident than I have ever been in my entire life, which in turn which in turn makes my life and work so much easier. I have a lot more respect from my peers and my confidence in myself reflects in my work, I was always going to be a good doctor, but now as Bella likes to put it, I'm fucking awesome.

Bella's POV
Its difficult to believe that I have a twelve year old daughter but my Pumpkin makes me so proud, she's smart, beautiful, confident and so talented. She plays piano, though Edward has taught all our kids to play, but none of them have the passion for it like my Pumpkin. I have a feeling she will follow in Edward's footsteps and join the family business, she wants to be the first Cullen woman in the practice.
The Cullen clinic has grown immensely in the last few years, but having all the normal hours made a big difference to our marriage. Finally having Edward home with us we finally got to become a real family and I couldn't be happier, our family has grown and I feel like I have fulfilled my destiny to be a baby maker. Lillie now six, Masen five, the twins EJ, Edward Jasper and Anthony are three. We had meant to stop after the twins but accidents happen, and when Edward and I managed to escape for a dirty weekend, Charlotte was born nine months later, being the youngest at just seven months, and she is the only one not to have Edward's trade mark bronze hair and green eyes. This is possibly why she is such a daddies girl, with her dark chocolate hair and eyes. Edward adores all of our kids and I'm happy to report that he had the snip after Char was born, so no accidents. Yay for my poor body, I will never get my figure back, but it was worth it to have all my wonderful kids, they are the family I always wanted.
Having so much of our family all living in the same street is wonderful and we are all incredibly close, mom and dad have been amazing and despite having so many grandchildren what with Alice and Jaz having three and Emmett and Angela having two. They love every one of them equally, and still insist that we all go around for lunch on Sundays.
I have lunch every Monday with my sister Leah, we have agreed to leave the past in the past and we are both happy, she never was able to have any more kids, but Seth is healthy and happy, and she had the love of a good man. I was happy that she could be happy too. Jake had tried to find her a few years ago, but Paul, Leahs husband beat the crap out of him before he got near. Last we heard was he was practically a crack whore, with no life and working as a male escort for a pimp with no prospects, karma's a bitch.
Ten years later
its hard to believe that I have been married for sixteen years, Edward and I still get yelled at by our kids 'get a room you two.' even after all this time we have to be touching in some way, we still sit holding hands on the sofa when we watch a movie. Edward still melts my heart with those, I want you now smirks. I squirm in my seat at the thought and he squeezes my and gives me a knowing side glance as if he knows what I'm thinking, which most of the time he actually does. My Pumpkin is about to collect her degree for pre med, and is heading towards a great career in pediatrics. The whole family is here for her on her big day, and the collective noise we make as she is handed her degree has her resolutely glaring at her feet and her face is glowing scarlet.
Lillie and Masen are both looking to follow in the family business, but EJ and Anthony are at thirteen more interested in getting their rock band going and taking the world by storm. Which leaves my precious Char, who at eleven has already had two of her English papers published and has been asked to have one included in a compilation of children's stories, my girl is so far ahead of the game its frightening. No matter what path they chose they will always have the support of their family, Esme has only requested that they do not make her a great grandmother for another five years at least, but I've told them, ten. I'm so not ready to be a grandmother, especially with what I have planned for daddy tonight, and seeing him as a grandpa would only but a dampener on the evening.
A/N The request for Emmett's POV outtake to follow soon(ish). Thank you soooooo much for reading LUV YA! further request always considered ;)
