Epilogue: Fourteen Years Later

A/N: Sorry that I'm ending this so abruptly, but I'm busy with some other stories right now, including:

1. A Jasper/Bella story, titled "One Step at a Time", which tells about how Jasper and Bella make the mistake of falling for each other while the family's on a hunting trip, and their bumpy relationship and how they can obtain one without hurting Edward and Alice.

2. A Jacob/Bella story, titled "Out Time Now", which takes place in New Moon after Edward leaves. Pretty self-explanatory.

3. And I'm working on the first few chapters of a Edward/Bella story, titled "Don't Let Me Fall". It tells the story of ex-best friends Edward and Bella and their disgust for one another, all the while, needing each other because of a tragic event.

If interested in any of the stories above, check them out, and don't forget to review.

Emmett's POV

EVENTS THAT HAVE PASSED:

Wow, we've come a long way.

Bella, Jasper, Amanda, Heathcliff, and I all moved to Arizona right after Bella finished school. Amanda got back together with her band, and they became a huge hit, traveling the world on tour and such. Jasper went with her, but before he did, Bella and him resolved some problems and became as close, if not closer, than Rosalie and me.

Bella became pregnant again, right after we moved back to Phoenix, and we had a beautiful baby girl named Adrienne Elizabeth Hale. She had auburn hair like Bella's and big blue eyes like mine. We were ecstatic, and after a year, Alice and Rose convinced Shane and Edward to come live down here, too. It didn't take much talk, and we all had houses in the same gated community. When they did arrive, Alice was pregnant, and Rose was trying to get that way.

Edward and Rose were madly in love, and so were Shane and Alice. Jasper and Amanda weren't around much, but I knew that Jazz had finally gotten over Ali and moved on; he was completely enveloped in Amanda. They had gotten married, as well as Shane and Alice, and Bella and me.

We were all completely happy, and nothing could take that away.

PRESENT DAY:

"Andi! Heath! It's time for school!" Bella yelled up the steps, getting ready for work.

She was a consultant at an architectural firm, something I didn't know she had an interest in, and she got an amazing salary at $95,000. She was that good at her job. My occupation didn't pay nearly as much, but I went after another one of my dreams and was hired as an English professor at the local college. I loved it. I was snapped out of my thoughts as my fourteen year old daughter and my seventeen year old son came rushing down the stairs.

"Good morning," Adrienne said, passing by the both of us and heading straight for the kitchen to eat breakfast.

"Morning, sweetie. Do you have any plans for tonight? It is a Friday," I told her. I was hoping to have some alone time with my wife.

"Yes, Daddy. Heath's taking me to a movie and dinner with our friends." I really did love how well they got along, like Rosalie and me. They were best friends, despite the three year age difference.

"That's nice of you, Heath."

"Yeah, I know," he grinned. "But I'm genuinely happy that I get to hang out with Andi."

I chuckled. "Just remember to drive slowly and set a good example for your sister. She'll be getting her permit soon."

"If she ever passes the test," he laughed.

"Hello? I'm right here," Adrienne interjected with a mouth full of food.

Heath and I both rolled our eyes and ran our hands over our faces. He picked up the habit from me, and it was almost uncanny how we almost always did it at the exact same time. Heath took Andi to school and then went himself, leaving Bella and I to drive to our separate jobs.

I wrapped my arms around her skirt suit-clad body and breathed in her freesia and strawberry shampoo. "The kids are going to be out tonight, and we'll have the whole house to ourselves."

Hours later, after Bella and I were home from work and our teenagers were out, we headed to the bedroom, stripping our clothes quickly. We made love for hours, until we heard our kids come in. We were both reluctant to stop, but what we had shared was simply amazing, a perfect bond between two people that are meant for each other.

That night, I fell asleep to Bella whispering into my ear, "You are the only person who can make my heart beat faster and slower at the same time, Emmett Hale. And for that, I love you."

A/N: Aw. It's over. FOR NOW. I might come back when I have some more time and fill in extra chapters before this one. Thank you for reading and sticking with me through this. Check out my other fanfictions and review! I love you guys!
