I believe that I have not updated in like, a long time. So I apologise. I'll not distract you from reading with stuff & disclaimers. Remember to read A/N at bottom though.

"EDWARD!" Bella screamed.
"Bella?!"
The scene felt familiar in Bella's head but she shook the wave of déjà vu that she had and she continued screaming for her husband. He was obviously too busy on that darned piano of his.
"What's wrong?" Edward said worriedly, Bella gasped as she took in his appearance. It had been a long time since she had first saw him, and a another period of time since she married him, but she could never get used to his pale skin, his bronze hair and his beautiful green, emerald eyes. Edward ran a casual hand in his extra-volumised hair.
"I'm pregnant!" Bella said over-dramatically. Edward's hand dropped limply by his body.
"You're pregnant?" Edward said in a daze. Bella glared at him and Edward understood.
"We're going to have a baby!" Edward said with a big grin on his face. Edward ran like a kid around the big bedroom whilst Bella stared at him from the adjoining bathroom.
"HAHA! Fooled you!" Bella screamed. Edward narrowed his eyes. No, not this game again. Edward stalked out of the bedroom and reached for the door. Except the doorknob turned and the door flew open.
"Mom, Dad is keeping me awake again," an adolescent child stood in front of the door. It was clear he had not been trying to sleep at all. Despite this, Bella rushed towards Edward and glared. Edward suddenly looked as if someone had told him bad news.
"I'm sorry Max, he didn't mean to," Bella soothed.
"I'm not Max, I'm Marley," the boy said angrily. Bella's eyes widened. She was always forgetting which twin was which.
"I'm so sorry Marley," Bella said, hugging her child. Her son wrestled out of her grip and smiled evilly and before running away he shouted, "Haha. Fooled you!"
Bella rolled her eyes and glared again at Edward. It was Edward who taught them this trick.
"Karma's a bitch," he said before leaving their bedroom. Bella whirled around and dramatically fell on their bed. Bella smiled.
Max and Marley had come as a big surprise. Edward and Bella had not been trying at all, but suddenly before graduating she found out she was pregnant. Despite this, she continued to study until she gained a Master of Science. Edward, however, after his Bachelor decided to opt out of university. He was the one who took care of her family's business whilst Bella did what she wanted to do. He was the real entrepreneur in the family. Bella closed her eyes. Life was good.
The phone rang; Bella grabbed at it and spoke softly into the handset. Her eyes widened and she broke out in a wide grin. She screamed excitedly.

"Explain why we have to do this, mom?" Max said angrily tugging at his tuxedo collar. Bella rolled her eyes. Marley and Edward were pulling at their tuxedos in the same manner. Bella was the only one that was happy with the simple dress she was wearing.
"It's a benefit. It's what we have to do," Bella said simply.
"So why can't you and dad go..." Marley started.
"...and leave us home?" Max finished. Bella gave them a harsh look that told them that the matter was not discussable.
"Plus, Aunt Rose, Alice and Esme and Uncle Em, Jasper and Carlisle are going to be there," Edward said slyly.
"Is Sara and Aria going to be there?" Max said quickly.
"And Pearl and Hayley?" Marley rushed after Max. Bella glared at Edward and her boys.
They had forgotten about Lily, they always did. Bella did a suggestive cough.
"What?" Max and Marley said together. They looked at each other with guilty faces, "They're hot." They both glared at each other.
"Aria." Max said.
"Hayley." Marley said. They smiled at each other and both said, "Deal."
Edward rolled his eyes and pushed his boys into the car. Bella saw the three males leave the house. Her heart panged with hurt with how similar the boys looked like next to Edward. They all had the messy, bronze coloured hair. They all shared the brooding, emerald eyes. Bella could debate that Max's eyes were slightly browner than Edward's but nowadays, Max would say that his eyes were green rather than a mixture of the both. The only part that sooth Bella was that they had inherited her ivory skin and her fascination of horror movies. Bella followed them.

"Mom!" Rosalie's small 8-year old boy ran over to the table where Bella, Rosalie, Esme and Alice were sitting.
"What's wrong Ryan?" Rosalie said, patting his blonde head. Bella envied Rosalie for having a child that bore a striking resemblance to her. Bella pushed this to the back of her mind. Since 20 years ago, she hadn't envied anything much, and she wasn't going to start now.
"I saw Pearl and Mike, kissing," He said dramatically. Rosalie laughed and looked at Alice who was smiling too. Bella could tell that somehow, the four best friends sitting at the table were going to be related somehow through marriage. Alice and Rose started discussing about wedding colours. Esme joined in too. Bella excused herself.
Bella's heels clicked on the floor, echoing. She heard a small voice and she hid behind a stone pillar.
"I haven't told you, but I really like you," she heard a girl say. It was only a whisper, but Bella could tell it was Lily. There was a small laugh, and then she heard a boy's voice. It was the heir of another leading family, who was 12 years old. Bella peeked. It was Riley Newton, the son of Edward's enemy in life in general.
"I don't like ugly girls," he said before storming off. Bella watched the scene unravel in front of her eyes. Her brain whirred back to the moment when she was Lily's age. She ran towards to the broken girl. She put a hand on your shoulder. She said the words someone had told her, all those years ago.
"You're not ugly, and don't let a stupid boy make you think otherwise."
The circle was finished. And for once in her life, Bella felt every bit of the beautiful people told her she was.

Note #1: You may be wondering, why isn't the children called "Renesmee", but think about it logically – Esme was named after Bella and Edward's mum, Renee and Esme. Esme in this story is a family friend so it would be weird.
Note #2: Sorry for not updating sooner, I've been piled with work!
Note #3: It's the end of The Perfect Girl, so no more epilogues, but for something related you can read "It didn't work" which is a oneshot based on this story.
Note #4: Review and goodbye ;]
