I DON'T OWN THE TWILIGHT SAGA! SM DOES AND I JUST PLAY IN HER WORLD!

This is the Christmas of the same year.

Chapter 18: Epilogue

Melony POV

Things had picked up around Forks now.

Everyone-minus the pack-was now going to Forks High. Dad and Bella had made up-apparently on the plane-and things were... awkward to say the least. Ashlyn had been imprinted on by Embry-what are the odds of that-and now understood everything. Me and her were actually becoming friends... until her and Nessie met. Now... it was very dramatic to say the least.

Cole and I had just picked up where we left off. Jacob and Nessie were engaged.

Too soon? I wouldn't think so. Of course, Dad was furious. I swear, him and Jacob were just about to fight. Luckily, they didn't... until Nessie told me secretly that they had already had sex when we were in her room. Dad was just about to knock on the door of her room, too. As soon as Jacob was up the stairs, Dad flew at him. It took me, Nessie, Bella, Emmett, and Jasper to break them apart. Eventful? That's an understatement.

Esme and Carlisle had not had our 'bonding' time yet, but they said it would be at Christmas. Today was Christmas.

Nessie and I had a lot of the same gifts. We had both gotten a necklace from them with the Cullen Crest on it. Dad had gotten Nessie an early wedding present: a strapless white wedding dress. It was very beautiful.

"Think of it as a sorry present," he had said. "I'm sorry I attacked your... your... fiance."

"Ladies and Gentlemen, he said it!" Jacob exclaimed.

We all laughed.

He had gotten me a ring. He didn't buy it, though. It was a ring he had gotten me a long time ago, back before I thought he was dead. It was my mother's wedding ring.

Flashback: Melony and the Wedding Ring

"Daddy, what ring did you get for Mommy?" I had asked.

His face twisted into pain. "I... hold on."

I sat on my bed in my green polka-dot PJs. When he came back, it was with a black velvet box.

"This is the ring I gave to your mother," he whispered.

He opened the box to show a silver ring with a single diamond in it. It had 2 rows of tiny diamonds going half-way around it.

"This is so pretty," I breathed. "W-would she be mad if I held onto it?"

He smiled my smile. "I think she would want you to have it, baby."

End Flashback

"Dad, thank you!" I squealed. "I thought I had lost it."

Emmett had gotten me and Ness a new video game... for him. I think everyone gets how that goes.

Alice had gotten us each a whole bag of clothes. Of course. Rose said her surprise would come at the wedding. Jasper said that too. Jacob had said Nessie's would come on the honeymoon to which she giggled. I gagged at the thought of two of my best friend's... doing it.

Cole had proposed as my gift. Proposal at Christmas? So romantic. That would be a story to tell the kids. Dad growled at my thought. Oops.

Now we were all waiting for Bella to open her gift from Edward. When she did, it was a necklace. A diamond necklace.

"Great," she muttered. Everyone looked at her incredulously so in a fake cheery voice she said, "I mean, I love it! Absolutely love it!"Back in her dreary voice, "Edward, you should have known I wouldn't have changed. Duh."

We all laughed. Same old Bella.

The rest of Christmas... it was uneventful... as uneventful as eight vampires, two hybrids, and two werewolves could be, that is.
