Chapter 8

Thankfulness

We were making our way back to the house. Jacob and the others chased after Jane. They weren't going to hurt her. They just liked to chase her like dogs chased squirrels. She ran right for the ocean and never looked back. Edward had me by the waist never letting go. I doubt he'll ever let go again. Emmett and Jasper were walking on my other side. Laughing and bragging about how many of the vampires they killed.

"Thank you, guys." Edward finally spoke.

Emmett and Jasper stopped talking and looked at him confused. "For what? We enjoyed the battle, if you really want to call it that."

"Not for that! For taking care of Bella. For protecting her. I mean, you guys were really going to kill me!" he chuckled at the dark memory.

"I'm really sorry about that." Emmett apologized.

"Don't be! You have no idea how happy it makes me to see you act like that! even Carlisle!" he exclaimed happily. "it's nice to know that she was in good hands, while I was...gone."

He hugged me tighter. "Don't forget Charlie and Jacob! They offered to kill you, too." I reminded him.

"Nah!" he waved his hand dismissively. "They were always offering that! They were just waiting for you're signal." he laughed again.

"So, are you still going out with Ben this Friday?" Emmett asked smugly. Edward growled to himself squeezing me tighter to his chest, which was very hard to do while walking.

"I already told him I'd go," I started, but seeing Edward's face I quickly changed. "but, now that Edward killed the girl, I'm sure he's going to get back with his old girlfriend. I know I'm getting back with mine."

Jasper laughed. "with your old girlfriend?"

Edward let go of me for a quick second and smacked Jasper in the head. He returned to me before I could cry out.

"Let's go home. I haven't seen Renesmee, yet." Edward sighed. "I bet she hates me."

I hugged him. "No more than I did."

Jacob answered the door. "Hey Edward. Bella."

"Where's Renesmme?" Edward asked hesitantly.

Jacob looked down. "I've been explaining it to her. She-"

"Hey Mom! Hello Dad." Renesmee called walking into the living room. We were still standing outside.

"Hey baby. Can we talk?" I asked.

She looked over at Jacob. "Yeah. Come on in."

We followed Jacob inside. Edward looked like he was in pain and waiting for more.

"Jacob told me what happened. I understand it wasn't his fault."

Edward moved towards her. "That doesn't mean I don't feel horrible about it. I want to apologize."

A single tear ran down her face. "I forgive you, Dad!" She ran into his open arms.

"I love you so much." Edward whispered into her ear.

"I love you too, daddy." She wiped her eyes and took a deep breath. "Well...since you've been gone, Jacob proposed. Look!" She held her hand out. On it was a turquoise stone embedded in a ring.

"Wow. Congrats! When's the wedding?" Edward asked looking at Jacob.

He was smiling up until now. "Um...well?...huh. We never thought about it." Jacob shrugged.

Renesmee was smiling. "I've thought about it. I want a spring wedding! Wildflowers growing, birds chirping. Oh, I can see it now!" She cried excitedly. "Look at how perfect it is!" She ordered pressing her hands to Jacob's and my face.

Instantly, a beautiful meadow flashed in my mind. Different wildflowers were scattered across the forest floor. White lace was dangling from the trees. It did look perfect.

"I know just the meadow." Edward said, smiling.

I remember the meadow he was referring to. Our meadow. "Oh Edward! That's perfect! It's secluded and it has the wildflowers. Charlie and Billy will have a hard time getting to it, but we'll figure something out!" I started to plan. "Alice and Rosalie can help with the decorations and the dress. Oh, I can't wait to get started! We only have roughly three months!" I was scaring myself. I sounded like Alice!

Edward and Jacob backed away. Renesmee looked happy and nervous at the same time.

I grabbed her hand. "Come on! We've got to start planning!" I pulled her through the door towards the main house.

Alice was already waiting at the door. "The wedding will be perfect!" she squealed. "I didn't think I could top your wedding, Bells. But this, will be the wedding of the-...of all time!"

I smiled. Life couldn't be more perfect. I was back with my love. My daughter was getting married to my best friend. And I was in my favorite place in the world, Forks.

Is that not the best ending ever?!
I loved writing it.
Unfortunately, when I finished it I still wanted to continue.
I wanted to do Renesmee's wedding, but how can you top an ending like that above?
It's simple...you can't.
So, I decided to do an epilogue.
look for it soon!

I can't wait for your comments!
please write them or else my work will have been for nothing...
well, almost nothing.
I enjoy writing.
Your reviews are like icing on the wedding cake!

thanks for reading my story!
