Chapter 23. The End

Taylor's POV

Life isn't fair. Elaina should have never gone through something so painful in her life. But no matter how much I try, I cant make myself feel that bad. Because what happened to Elaina brought her to me. And she brought me life.

"No! No Emmett no! Stop!" I heard Journey laughing from upstairs. "I must tickle you!" He said chasing her around upstairs. Elaina looked at me and we both smiled. For some reason, maybe it was the inner human in me, I got a sudden urge. I ran up stairs and tackled Emmett. "Emmett! Don't you know never to tickle a young lady's tummy! You…..must go for the armpits!" I said running after Journey as she ran away screaming and laughing.

This lasted for about an hour before Esme came in. "Boys, boys. Calm down. It's time for her to eat. I made you macaroni pasta with cheese." Uh oh. "Yay!" Journey said running into the kitchen. She took one bit and spit it out. "Um….you have to cook the mac." She said with a half smile.

"Oh I knew something wasn't right." Esme said picking up the bowl and putting it in the sink. "Journey how about we go out to eat? I hear the veggie burger at Carver Café is very yummy." Bella said with a smile. "Yes please!" She squealed. So all the girls got ready and headed out.

Elaina's POV

We walked into the small diner and all eyes were on us. I know I'm a fairly new vampire but I was fine and luckily did not feel like killing any of these humans. We sat down at the largest table and a waitress walked up. "How are we doing tonight?' she asked with a smile. "Good thank you." Alice said. "Good. Well what can I get for you?"

"I think one veggie burger and some juice will be fine." Rose said. "Alrighty then. Be back in a jiffy." She said walking away. Alice leaned over to me and whispered in my ear. "Taylor's upset. If he doesn't calm down soon he is gonna take out a tree." I nodded and rose to my feet. "I'm gonna head out. I'll see you back at the house okay?" I asked and Journey nodded.

Taylor's POV

"It's okay Taylor. You can be happy now." Jasper said. He obviously felt my emotions. "Jazz, Elaina's not happy. So how can I be?" I said looking at him. "The one thing that will help her, is for you to be happy." I sighed. "I'm going to hunt. Alone." I said running out of the house and into the woods.

After I killed two deer and stood against a rock. Taylor you have got to calm down. I heard someone think. I knew who it was. I turned to see Elle walking towards me. I took her in my arms. I know.

"Taylor I was thinking….now that I'm a vampire, and well we are in love…we should do something." She said before kissing me with everything she had.

Elaina's POV

This past week has been the best week of my life. And everyone could tell. Maybe because I couldn't stop smiling, and neither could Taylor. Journey has added something wonderful to our family. Jacob and Renesmee fell in love with her just as fast we all had. Esme has mastered cooking. She enjoys it very much and Jacob enjoys being her taste tester.

Karen and Demetri left yesterday to live there own life. They said they will visit often but we all know, that in the mind of Volturi, often can be counted in years. The Romanian's have taking over and rule our kind now.

Journey knows what we are. Whether or not she will become one is up to her. But I wont allow it to happen for many more years. Journey has brought us all together more as a family. And though the years will be challenging with Journey growing and the different things we will face, we will all go through this journey together. Because with love, all things are possible.

Every night when Taylor and I put Journey to bed, we tell her stories. This night, it was Taylor's turn.

"Tell me one more." Journey begged. "Okay okay. One more." Taylor said smiling.

"One upon a time, there was a princess. She was very pretty and happy. But then one night, the evil men came and took her parents away. The princess had to be sent away to live as a commoner. Years past and when the young girl was 17 years old, a prince came."

"Oh did he save her?" Journey interrupted. "Shh. Listen."

"Now the prince had no clue he was a prince. But the princess could tell. And with out even knowing it, the prince and the princess, fell in love. But there was one problem; the bad men want the princess back. But the prince would not let it happen. So they fought.

"The princess and prince fought against the bad men." Journey gasped. "Did they win?" She asked with her eyes wide. Taylor smiled and nodded his head. "Yup. They won. But the princess was hurt. She was sleeping and the prince didn't know how to fix her. Even the doctor didn't know what to do."

"What did they do? Did the prince wake her up?" Journey asked. "Yes he did. The prince leaned down and kissed the princess and her eyes opened up."

"Yay! And they lived happily ever after right?" Journey asked.

Taylor looked at me and smiled. We both said, "Yes they did." We all did.

In the beginning I told Taylor to never let go of his heart, because only then do you become a monster. But as time went by, I became his heart. And luckily for me, he never let go. Instead I watched his heart grow. Our family, our love, is so tightly nit, I know that we will never let go.

The End.

A/N Wow. Okay thats it folks! The end. I might write a sequel but I have to finish some of my other stories first. Thank you so very much for reading and reviewing. It means so much to me! Thank you all. This story wasn't as long as I wanted it to be, but I am still very happy with it. Thanks again and with lots of love, God bless,
