The Epilogue!
*screaming*
I can't believe I finished the story!
I've gotten more reviews and 'fans' than I ever thought possible!
I just wanted to thank you guys for everything.
I actually remember when I started writing it.
I wanted to see how you guys would react to a story with Edward as a bad guy.
I never dreamed it would end like how I made it.
It just sort of hit me in math class(I think of everything BUT math in math class.)
Okay, I'm keeping you from my story.
I want to make it last as long as possible, but that would be mean...


Epilogue

Wedding

"And do you Renesmee Carlie Cullen take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, through good times and bad till death do you part?"

Renesmee looked into Jacob's eyes. "I do." She declared.

"Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." The preacher announced.

Jacob looked like he was going to explode with happiness as he lifted her veil to kiss his new bride. All around me I heard sighs. Rosalie started up on the piano while Jacob and Renesmee walked down the aisle as a couple.

Edward squeezed my hand. "Our baby has officially grown up. Look at them."

I nodded in agreement. "They remind me of our wedding day."

Edward looked down at me and smiled. "I couldn't agree more." he replied kissing me passionately on the lips.

"Eww, guys! Can't you wait till afterour wedding?" Renesmee joked.

I turned to face her. "You look so beautiful! If I could cry, I would be!" I hugged her. "I couldn't be more proud."

Jacob reached out to shake Edward's hand, but Edward pulled him into a strangling hug.

"Dad, please don't suffocate my husband." Renesmee begged grabbing his arm.

Edward reluctantly released Jacob. As soon as he was free, I grabbed him. "I never imagined in all my years I would have you for a son. I promise I will be the best mother-in-law ever!"

"Monster-in-law more like it!" Jacob gasped for air.

Edward grabbed my waist. "We're not the only ones wanting to see them. The guests are sending angry thoughts towards me." I pouted, but allowed it.

All the vampires that stood beside us back when the Volturi came were here. They were more than happy to see Renesmee again. The amazon coven even looked decent. I hardly recognized them if it weren't for their wild eyes. Tanya's family showed up, too. Kate brought Garrett. He took on their lifestyle because he loved Kate so much. Laurent, back when he was still alive, would cheat every now and then. I could tell from Garrett's eyes that he didn't. The only guy that didn't look happy was Nahuel. He stayed in the back watching with a sad look on his face.

I overheard Charlie talking to Billy. "Looks like we're related." Charlie commented lightheartedly.

What a pair! Never in all my years did I think I would be related to our arch-enemy!" Billy laughed. "Yeah, a lot has changed since when you and I were kids," he looked over at Charlie. "well, more for you than for me." he added. He looked over at the crowd of werewolves and vampires. "It really puts a new perspective on life. To see sworn enemies talking and laughing...and getting married." Billy trailed off.

"I bet you never would have pictured your son marrying a vampire." Charlie guessed.

"You probably saw your daughter growing up to be a lawyer or a doctor!"

Charlie agreed. "Instead she grew up to be a mythical creature!"

I laughed. I knew I shouldn't be listening, but I couldn't help it.

Alice stood up on a chair. "Okay, vamps and wolves...and Billy and Charlie. Let's move this party to the field!" She announced.

The wedding wasn't in the meadow like we planned. It was much too small for all the guests. So, we had the wedding at our house and the reception in the field we play baseball in. Benjamin turned out to be a big help with the weather. He moved the clouds around so that a ray of sunlight hit Jacob and Renesmee. Even though the majority of the guests didn't eat food, Jacob's friends did. Emily made the wedding cake. It was a classic white with red swirls on it. As soon as Jacob's friends saw it there was no stopping them. Luckily, we had a bunch of scary friends of Renesmee's to hold them back while they cut the cake.

I walked over to Alice. "This is beautiful. It's too bad this is your last wedding." I commented.

"Whatever do you mean by that?" Alice asked innocently.

I waved my hand around. "Every one else is already married. There's no one left."

She smiled like she had a secret. "I decided to do that thing you mentioned awhile back."

I searched my thoughts. "What thing I mentioned awhile back?"

She scoffed like it was obvious. "Don't you remember when I was planning your wedding? You said I should open my own wedding planning business."

"So...you're going to be a wedding planner?" I sarcastically asked.

She squealed in reply.

""That's cool and all, but aren't you a little young to be planning weddings? I mean, to humans you're only what 16? 17? What person in their right mind will ask for help from a child?"

She pouted. "Esme will be the face of my company. I tell her what to tell them and they do it! Trust me, I'm going to be bigger than Vera Wang! And all she does is design the dresses!"

I laughed. "That sounds like fun."

She prattled on, no need for encouragement. "The best part is, we're already rich! So, we can do weddings really cheap! I was going to do them for free, but that would be a little suspicious, don't you think?"

I nodded absentmindedly.

After they cut the cake, it was time for their first dance as husband and wife. I couldn't wait to see Jacob dance. Edward had been helping him for weeks now. Renesmee wasn't a problem, she was naturally graceful. The music started. Jacob held Renesmee close to his chest as they danced across the floor. Jacob did very well with only a few minor mistakes. Edward and I joined them for the next song followed by Carlisle and Esme, Emmett and Rosalie, Jasper and Alice, and a few other couples. Seth and a few others were doing the chicken dance in the corner. Edward and I were wrapped in each other's arms. Disconnected from the world.

"I said it's time for the father/daughter dance! Edward!" Alice hissed from the stage.

Edward jerked up. "Oh right! I'm the father!"

Everyone laughed as he made his way to the center of the dance floor. Renesmee was there waiting. Edward took her hand.

"Really, Dad. Could you stay with us for just a few more hours?" She asked half annoyed.

The music started and they glided around so gracefully. I grabbed Jacob and pulled him to the floor.

He looked nervous. "Nessie hasn't completely forgiven me for kissing you."

I rolled my eyes. "I'm merely dancing with my new son-in-law. We're both in love with someone, so she's got nothing to worry about. Besides that's gross! I would never do that again!"

"Hey! I wasn't that bad a kisser!" He objected.

I looked away without answering. He laughed quietly to himself.

Leah tapped my shoulder. "May I cut in?"

I released Jacob. "He's all yours, Leah."

I walked off towards the chairs. Tanya was sitting alone. When she saw me coming a worried look crossed her face.

"Hello Tanya." I said politely.

"H-hi Bella."

There was an awkward silence that followed and then just like that she exploded.

"Bella, I'm so sorry I went after Edward like that! You guys were married, I don't know what came over me! I feel really bad and ashamed and embarrassed!"

I held my hand up to stop her. "Didn't we tell you? It wasn't your fault."

She looked confused. "I admit Edward came onto me first, but I allowed it wholeheartedly. I'm as much to blame as Edward."

I shook my head. "It wasn't either of you fault. A girl from Volturi, Chelsea I think her name was, made you feel that way. She wasn't able to completely change how we felt for each other though. She only buried them. Jane was seeking revenge on me. I can't believe no one told you. The guilt you must have been feeling these past months." I hugged her. She still seemed a little dazed. "I know you would never do that to me. It's the past. What's done is done and will never happen again. Ancient history." I explained.

I saw realization sink in. "Oh Bella! I'm so glad to hear that! You have no idea how I've suffered. I've been beating myself up over this!" She hugged me back.

Edward walked over to us. "Well...this is awkward. I'm gonna go." He ran off before we could say anything.

Tanya and I watched him run. "I'd better go after him." I laughed.

Edward was waiting by an old tree. "Come back. Renesmee and Jacob are about to leave for their honeymoon. Don't you want to see them off?" I asked.

He smiled a toothy grin. "Yeah, I just needed to see you alone."

I traced doodles on his arm. "What did you need?"

He wrapped me in his arms. "I need a second honeymoon with you. Let's go back to Isle Esme for awhile. What do you say?" he asked smoldering me with his eyes.

"I'd say...Alice already packed our bags and got the plane tickets." A guilty smile crossed my face.

"Damn it! I should have known she'd tell you!"

I grabbed his hands. "Edward, chill. Does it matter? We're going. That's all that matters." I tried to calm him. "Now, let's go see our daughter off."

We walked back to the field. They were already dressed in normal clothes. Emmett handed us bowls of rice to throw at them. Jacob led Renesmee threw the rice rain to the car. I hit him with dead accuracy, as did the others. They jumped into the car and peeled out of there. I watched as the car disappeared.

I didn't move until Charlie came up to me. "Isn't parenthood the best?" he asked.

I stared at him. "Are you being funny?" I searched his face.

He shrugged."Sorta. I felt the same way watching you drive away. I was happy for you, but I wanted nothing more than to go home and see you young again."

I nodded in agreement. "I feel the same. I keep thinking I'm gonna go home and see the little baby in the crib. Knowing it will never happen."

"Things will never be the same, but that doesn't mean it will be bad. You'll always be my little girl. Just like she'll always be that baby in the crib to you." He patted my back in comfort.

"Thanks Dad." I hugged him.

Billy came up behind us. "Hey Charlie,there's a game on tonight. Do you want to come over?"

Charlie laughed. "I'd love to." he said wheeling Billy towards their car.

"Good-bye!" I called after them.

"Bella! You're going to miss your flight if you don't leave right now." Alice reminded me. She handed my bags to me.

"Thanks Alice."

Edward pulled his Volvo up to us. "Let's go!"

I smiled and crawled into the passenger's seat. He drove away from the field.

"I love you." he whispered.

I looked over at him. "That's why we're here." I replied.


*still screaming*
Did you like the wedding?
*dabbing at a few tears*
I love how I ended it, quoting their words in Breaking Dawn.
Beautiful, simply beautiful.

Okay, so that's it for this story.
It is now complete.
I don't know if I should leap for joy or cry...

Review and look for more work by me!
Next I'm doing poetry!
