A/N: Sorry for not updating until now. I've had a hectic schedule the past week.

Oh my goodness! There was a bomb threat at school on Friday and it scared the living daylights out of me. Rumor has it that some girl just wanted to get out of a math test. Idiot.

Saturday we went to my mom's co-worker's house and she lives on the water. I went tubing behind a jet ski and lost all feeling in my body. I somehow managed to pull myself up on the Jet Ski after I fell into the water and then as soon as I climbed up on the dock, I fainted. It was super scary. My mom said that I was really pale, my lips were blue, and my eyes were rolling back in my head.

On a lighter note… here's the epilogue! I think you'll like it!

Epilogue

Many have said that it isn't the destination it's the journey. When I thought of my life, I could truly agree with this. My life was a journey with twists and turns in every direction. I had gone from a good life with great parents to the girl having to hide her bruises from the outside world. My life then took a turn in the right direction.

Edward had been that right turn. I wouldn't be quite so normal if it weren't for the Cullens. Because of the Cullens, I learned to trust again. I learned that I didn't have to worry about whether or not I would live through the next night. I learned to love.

My life was flipped upside down when I didn't have them for support. Sure, I kept in touch with Alice and Emmett. I got birthday and other holiday cards from Esme and Carlisle every once in a while, but it wasn't what I needed. When Edward left, a part of me was ripped from my soul.

I call these two, almost three, years the Riley years. Riley was there with me ad infinitum. He stayed by my side and helped me through the messy breakup. It was a painful breakup at the least. When two people still in love are pulled away, the hurt is bitter.

That's what brings me to the last chapter in my book. When two people are meant to be together, it is. Some people believe in fate, I myself believe in God. When God forms two halves of one whole, he will always bring them back together.

"I can't believe he still works here." I eyed the man behind the counter as the waitress sat down our drinks.

It was the anniversary of my and Edward's first date. He had some big news he had yet to tell me and I had some news of my own to tell him. I fiddled with the wedding band on my left hand finger and watched as the lights reflected off the diamond pieces. I lifted my eyes to meet his.

There was a hint of amusement in his emerald green eyes. "I bet he's still waiting for a chance at you." He grinned.

I slid back into the seat and rested my head on his shoulder. "So, what's the big news?" Curiosity was burning within me.

"Well," He started. "It seems as I my new song hit it off. My agent's been talking to some record companies and they want me to go record." He grinned crookedly. A proud smile was plastered on his perfect face.

I wrapped my arms around him leaning in to give him a triumphant kiss. "That's great Edward!" I squealed.

He sighed wrapping his arms around me and his eyes smoldered into mine. I leaned back into his arms and was content with just him holding me. I ran the news through my head again but my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of plates being set on the table.

The plate of spaghetti sat in front of Edward and he looked at it wide-eyed. "Here he comes." He murmured under his breath.

I looked up and Fabio headed toward us. He smiled widely and sat the pizza down in front of me. My stomach grumbled with the smell and my mouth started to water.

"Here you go." He smiled winking at me. "Call me if you need anything." He handed me a scrap of paper with a number scrawled on the front.

"I can't believe he's still trying to pick you up." Edward rolled his eyes wrapping the spaghetti around his fork.

I took a bite of pizza and let it slide down my throat. I was genuinely hungry. This was really the first time I'd seen Edward all day. Alice had whisked me away for shopping early this morning. She had the contents of the bags safely hidden from view in her spare bedroom. She was the only one who knew of my secret.

I leaned up and pressed a kiss to Edward's cheek and he smiled. "What was that for?" He tilted his head slightly, the crooked smile I loved formed on his face.

"Cause' I love you." I whispered for his ears only.

He smiled back at me. "It's a good thing I love you too." He wrapped an arm around me shoving some more spaghetti into his mouth.

About twenty minutes later I took my last bite of pizza and groaned rubbing my stomach. The waitress approached our table and she eyed me as I rubbed my stomach.

"Aw, when are you due?" She asked conversationally.

I smiled. "Nine months." I answered shyly.

She smiled genuinely. "Well congratulations."

She picked up both my and Edward's plate and headed back behind the counter. I turned to face Edward and took in his reaction. He was watching me with curiosity. He took my hand in his and then placed his hand on my stomach.

"Really?" He asked surprise evident in his voice.

I bit my bottom lip and nodded shyly. "Surprise?"

Without a word, Edward brought his lips down to mine. The moment was purely passion filled and his lips caressed mine. It was a happy kiss and definitely one to go on the books. He brought his hand to my face and when he pulled away he held my face just inches from his.

"I love you." He whispered his thumb tracing my cheekbone.

Edward stood pulling me from the booth and he left the money on the table. We headed out to the shiny Volvo I had grown so attached to. He opened my door for me and even went as far as to buckling me into the seat. His hand lingered on my stomach and another wide grin stretched across his face.

Edward held my hand until we reached our apartment. I quickly checked the mailbox and was surprised when an off-white invitation was in the mix. It had an intricate gold design around the edges and its words were written in gold.

You are cordially invited to the wedding of:

Rachel N. Turner

&

Chace A. Murphy

On June 27th.

I let my fingers trace the intricate gold marks and a smile found my face. I was happy for them. Chace was a good guy and he would be good for Rachel. I silently handed Edward the invitation. He tilted his head slightly and smiled.

"I guess the afternoon at the café was an act of foreshadowing." He grinned. "He was there when I broke up with Rachel." He explained a small frown finding his face.

I left it at that and headed up the stairs. Edward followed closely behind me and then hurried around me to unlock the door. The rain started to fall at a soft rhythm as it splashed to the ground. I stepped inside the dark apartment and Edward flipped on the lights.

Our answering machine light flashed making us aware of an unheard message. I slipped off my shoes and softly padded over to press the play button. Alley's bubbly voice came over the speaker.

"Hey Bella lady." She spoke happily using the nickname she'd given me. "California just isn't the same without you. The company is very pleased with your book and they can't wait to get it out on the shelves. Congrats and the first copy of your book should be arriving soon if it isn't already there. I hope to hear from you soon!"

The voicemail ended and Edward left my side and headed toward the door. He stepped outside for a moment and then came back in with a cardboard box tucked under his arm. He quickly crossed the room and sat it on the counter cutting through the tape with his car key. I opened up the flaps of the box and dug through the packing peanuts. I pulled the hardback book from underneath the peanuts and a few slipped to the counter's surface.

"When can I read it?" Edward's question took me off guard.

I paused contemplating his words. "Right now if you want to." I held up my hand. "But hold on, I want you to see something."

I flipped through the first couple of pages until I saw the dedication. I quickly slid the book toward him and pointed. "Read."

He focused his eyes on the page and I went behind him wrapping my arms around him and tucking myself under his arm. I proceeded to read the paragraph that I had written only a few nights ago. I had Alley rush to get this placed in the book.

To the love of my life. Without you I would still be the scared girl hiding from her fears. I love you with all of my heart and I know that you will someday soon be not only the perfect husband, but also the perfect father. This is to you Edward, thank you for keeping me together.

Bella

As my eyes read the words I couldn't help but hold on to him tighter. This was truly the last night I would have to make a decision about who Isabella was. I was Isabella Cullen and I was loving every minute of it.

A/N: It's over. Bella's preggo! Are you happy? How did you like that they went to Everyday Italian for their date. Plus an added bonus! Fabio was still there!

On a different note, I've decided that I'm going to write Worthy Intentions but not as a fanfiction. I'm going to be writing it on fictionpress so I can develop my own characters. I'll be sure to update when I set up the first chapter. I hope you'll read it.

As far as "Relentless", I've decided I'm going to write it for my senior project. I know my senior project is three years away, but I really want to get a book published for my senior project and what better way?

I can't promise I'll never write another fanfiction. I do enjoy it but I probably won't pick up writing until after June. Ta ta for now!

Review!
