This chapter makes me a little sad because it all comes to an end with this one.

I know this will be the third time to post this chapter but a reviewer of mine made me do this third post to clear up any confusion that may occur in the last glimpse forward.

Arianna is dating Brantley which is Rose/Emmett's son, so they are NOT cousins and CAN date!

I hope I did the characters justice!

Read, enjoy, and review!

The final pics for this chapter are of Ali/Jazz's house and also what I pictured Gavyn's birthday cake to look like.

Chapter 39

BPOV

The several weeks after our birthday brought several big changes to our family and our house. Alice received an invitation to come to London for a fashion internship for the next six months starting in July and going to the end of the year, all expenses paid and the possibility of renewal, she accepted and was excited about it. Nobody could blame her because it was truly an honor and she had gotten the invitation over our Halloween costumes she had made, we were all excited for her. Jasper, wanting to keep up with his naval career immediately began searching out colleges that would allow him to do that and follow his wife to London. He found it in Greenwich at the Royal Naval College. My father had called me a few weeks ago asking me how I felt about selling our Chicago home. I had immediately started questioning him why he wanted to sell it since it contained so many memories for our family. He had admitted that it was too hard to stay there knowing what all our mother had done to us and cost him and he wanted to try for a fresh start somewhere else. Dad was going to sell the house and move to Atlanta to be closer to us but not stuck up our butts and it was also a bigger city to start a new business in. Rose and Emmett had also found out they were pregnant and started hunting for them a place too. It all worked out really well for all of us because Rose and Emmett offered to buy Alice and Jasper's house since they were moving to London for the foreseeable future.

Now, it was two days before Gavyn's first birthday and Rose and Emmett were officially moving out and Alice and Jasper were in London hunting for a place to live.

"That is the last of them, I believe." Rose said as she sat beside me on the porch swing as the Gavyn and Blakely played on the porch in front of us while Arianna napped.

I nodded with a tight lipped smile. "Great." I muttered.

Rose slung her arm around my shoulder and tugged me against her side. "Oh, Bella, you know we had to do this. We are just right down the road like Alice and Jasper were." She said as she set us rocking gently.

I sniffled and laid my head on her shoulder. "I know but our house is going to be so quiet now with all of you guys gone." I said quietly. "You know, Alice and I have never lived apart until she moved right down the road but now she's moving to a whole new country and may never come back." I mumbled sadly.

She chuckled softly. "It's okay, Bells, it will all be okay. We are all finding our niche in life, you have to be happy about that. Even if Alice and Jasper choose to make London their home, they will always come back for visits because they just love us that much." Rose said softly.

I nodded. "I know but we've never been this far apart and our house is going to feel so huge and empty now." I admitted softly.

She smiled and nodded. "I know, Belle, but I don't think any of us expected us to have kids right away. I mean Gavyn was a huge surprise as was Blakely. But Arianna and this baby weren't that big of surprises. Emmett and I both wanted to have our kids close together in age so they could grow up playing together without a huge age group between any of them and so did you and Edward."

I nodded because it was true and I couldn't fault them on wanting their own house to raise their kids in. "I know, Rosie. It will all be okay, it's just happening so quick."

She chuckled as Gavyn handed Blakely one of his blocks which she promptly stuck in her mouth causing him to frown and shake his head at her. "No. No. No." He said as he reached for the block she had in her mouth.

"Gavyn, it will be okay. Mama will clean it in a little bit. Let Blakely play with it." I called to him causing him to sit back down with a frown on his face but he let her have it.

Rose just laughed and shook her head. "We will be over all the time for play dates, B. It will be like we never left, just you wait and see."

I sighed and nodded. "Promise?"

She nodded and smiled. "Absolutely. What are you guys going to do with all the empty space now?"

"Spread out, make a guest bedroom, turn the basement into an official play room." I told her honestly because when they first started talking about moving Edward and I had talked about what to do with each room.

We were going to turn Blakely's room into a play room, we were moving into the bigger bedroom downstairs and making our room into the guest bedroom and bathroom. Doing all of the room rearranging would allow our downstairs to become adult and family friendly instead of overrun with baby toys and stuff. We weren't doing anything until after Gavyn's first birthday party that was in two days, then we were going to let the babies stay with their Nanny and Poppy for a night so we could get everything done without them being in the way. "That sounds like fun. Do you still need help with Gavyn's party Saturday?"

I smiled and nodded as Arianna cried through the baby monitor. She had been taking her afternoon nap upstairs. "Absolutely. Watch him while I go get her?"

She nodded. "Of course."

I sighed as I pulled up in Emmett and Rose's driveway. I had been out picking up Gavyn's birthday cake from the bakery downtown for his party that was in a few hours. I got out of the car heading for the front door of the cute little brick home that had been my sister's and was now my best friend's home. I knocked on the door because Rose had called begging me to stop by the house before going home because she had a surprise waiting for me. I wasn't in any semblance of a good mood today because Alice and Jasper's flight had been delayed and they weren't going to make it in time for Gavyn's party.

Edward was keeping the babies at home while I ran a few last minute errands for my monkey's first birthday party. We were having a pool party but it was just going to be family only so it wasn't extravagant by any means. "Rose!" I hollered after a few minutes and she hadn't come to the front door yet.

I reached for the doorknob just as the front door was wrenched open and I was attacked causing me to stumble and fall onto the grass. "Sissy!" Alice said as she hugged me tightly.

I wrapped my arms around her waist as I held her tightly to me. "Oh God, Ali, I've missed you something terrible." I whispered into her ear.

"I've missed you too, Belle but London is so amazing. There's this…" She began telling me all about London as she lay beside me in the grass.

We spent probably an hour laying there in the grass as she went on and on about London while Jasper and Rose sat on the front doorsteps. "Mama!" Gavyn squealed causing me sit up and turn around to see him running towards me with his daddy and sister trailing behind him.

The party was perfect because all of our most important family was there to celebrate with us. I cried when he saw his cake because he had a huge smile on his face when he caught a glimpse of the monkey sitting on top of the small two tiered cake. "Mon! Mon!" He called reaching for the monkey sitting on top of the cake.

The kid was borderline obsessed with anything monkey related but we thought it was adorable. "Monkey." I corrected as Edward lit the solitary candle sitting atop the cake. "Can you blow out the candle for Mama?" I asked him as I held him up close to the cake.

We had been practicing blowing out the candle for almost two weeks now and sometimes he got and sometimes he spit on the candle, there was no telling which one we were going to get today. He clapped and nodded as he took a deep breath and spit all over the cake and candle. "Mama!" He said as he patted my cheek when he saw the candle wasn't out.

I chuckled and took a deep breath like we had been showing him and blew out the candle gently causing him to squeal loudly. "Mama pwwwwww." He cheered as he imitated me blowing out the candle causing everybody around us to crack up.

Later that night as I curled into Edward's side I felt like I had to tell him something important. "You okay, baby?" He asked as he pulled me more firmly against him.

I smiled and nodded as I leaned up straddling over his body. "Yeah, I'm perfect. You know, when we first got together I had lost all confidence in everybody but myself because of what my parents had done to Alice and myself."

He nodded and urged me to continue as he stroked my bare thighs encouragingly.

"I just want to say thank you for giving me such amazing kids. Thank you for being such a wonderful husband. Thank you for giving me something to believe in, somebody to believe in once again, I love you Edward Anthony Masen." I told him as I leaned forward sealing my lips to his passionately.

***3 years later***

"Dada!" Jasmine Nikole said loudly as she watched her daddy walk across stage to receive his college diploma. She and her twin sister would be a year old next month.

"Dada?" Noelle Rayne asked me as she sat in my lap laying against my chest because she was sleepy. I smiled down at her and nodded. "Yeah daddy's up on stage. You wanna see?" I asked her as I ran my fingers through her bright red curls.

She shook her head as she stuck her thumb in her mouth. "No."

I chuckled as I looked down the entire row of family that was here. My dad and new girlfriend, Michelle, sat at the far end with Gavyn sitting in his lap. He looked nothing like Tanya and for that I was immensely thankful. He had his dad's crazy hair color and tendencies because I could never keep it tames when it was short so we had let it grow out some and looked so handsome. He would be turning four in just a few days and was the big brother to three proud sisters. Carlisle who had Arianna in his lap as she cheered for her daddy sat next to Esme who had her camera working overtime as she took pictures of Edward and Emmett graduating. Arianna was my only child that had board straight hair but it was a light red color and hung down her back and framed her expressive eyes. Despite her aunt's persistence she had turned out to be a daddy's girl which meant she was a tomboy to the max. Alice and Jasper were next, each with a child on their lap. Alice was holding their son, Logan Alexander, who was just two weeks old and Jasper was holding their daughter, Charlotte Isabel, who was two years old. They had just recently moved back when Alice had found out she was pregnant with Logan. Rose sat there cheering with their three kids, Blakely Faith, Brantley Michael, and Breylin Grace who were almost three, two, and six months respectively.

"Mama?" Jasmine asked as she placed a hand on my face gaining my attention.

I smiled as I looked at her as she stood in the chair beside me. "Okay?" she asked as she patted my tears away.

"Yeah, baby girl, mama's okay. Just happy." I told her as I smiled broadly at her to show her that I was indeed okay. She and Noelle were fraternal twins and really looked and acted nothing alike. Noelle had bright red hair that laid in natural curls with her bright green eyes while Jasmine had the curls like her sister but hers were a dark brown almost black and she had big brown eyes that were framed by the longest lashes I had ever saw. Noelle was my mama's baby like Gavyn but whereas he wasn't shy in the least Noelle was. She was my only child that had inherited my shyness and timidness but her sister on the other hand never met a stranger.

"You okay, B?" Rose asked as she motioned to my rounded stomach that Noelle was laying on.

I smiled and nodded. "Yeah, but I don't think I'm going to make it to the end of the ceremony." I told her with a tight lipped smile.

Her eyes got huge. "How long?" She asked when she realized that I was in labor.

I smiled. "All day, but I wasn't about to ruin Edward's big day if I could help it." I told her with a shrug of my shoulders. It's not like I needed to be in any rush anyways, I was not too keen to being stuck in a hospital bed any longer than necessary. My shortest labor had been a big whopping 18 hours so I had a few hours to spare since the contractions didn't start until around eight this morning while I was feeding all the kids.

"He's done his walk across stage. Let's get you out of here." She said as she stood. "Yo, Eddie! Your son is on the way, dude!" she screamed at Edward.

I groaned as I scooped Jasmine in my arms standing up to let him know it was serious. I stopped dead in my tracks when my water broke, gushing down my legs in a river. "Oh God, we have to go. He could come any minute now." I told Rose urgently because once my water broke the babies seemed to get in a huge hurry.

Esme, my dad, and Michelle took all the babies so Edward and Carlisle could rush me to the hospital. Carlisle had been persistent in coming with me in case we didn't make it to the hospital in time.

"Baby, you okay?" Edward asked as he zoomed in and out of traffic like a mad man but he knew we were on a time crunch.

I groaned and shook my head. "NO. Pull over, he's coming." I panted as I breathed through the pain.

Edward looked at me wide eyed but kept driving down the road instead of pulling over. "Do you want your son to be born in the floor board of this Volvo?" I ground out as another pain shot through my back.

He shook his head and quickly whipped over to the side of the road. "Okay, Bella, let's get you into the backseat." Carlisle said hopping from the car before it was even stopped.

I shook my head. "I can't, Carlisle. He's coming." I told him as I turned sideways in the seat, scooting my butt to the edge.

"Baby, I'm right here." Edward said as he positioned himself between my legs, which he had one propped against the open door frame and one over his shoulder. "Pop, tell me what to do?"

I groaned as I took a deep breath and pushed with all my might. "Catch, you idiot." I told him as I felt my son slipping from my body.

Landon Edward Masen was big news not only for our family but also the city of Savannah. He was my first naturally born boy and he was born on the side of a major interstate by his father and grandfather. "That's it. No more." I told Edward as I held Landon to my chest as he wheeled us into the hospital twenty minutes after he was born.

He just laughed as he kissed the top of my head. "Odd numbers, Isabella, odd numbers." He said as several nurses and doctors rushed to us.

***Thirteen years later***

"Go, Gavyn!" Arianna cheered her brother on as he ran down the football field with the football tucked in the crook of his arm. Gavyn was a senior and this was his last football game ever so the entire family had come to cheer him on while Arianna cheered from the sideline. Arianna was a junior at the same school and was head cheerleader. She hadn't fully outgrown her tomboyishness but she loved being a cheerleader and had first asked for dance and gymnastics lessons when she was six.

I heard Edward growl from beside me as he watched his baby girl dance in her cheerleading uniform. "Do the damn uniforms have to be so small?" He said shaking his head as he held Charlie on his lap. Charlie was our surprise baby because we had indeed decided to stop after Landon was born but Charlie snuck up on us two years ago. She was like Arianna and didn't let herself be known until I was almost six months pregnant again.

I just laughed as I leaned into his side. "She's a good girl, Edward, she doesn't pay the boys any attention at all." I reminded him, which wasn't entirely true. There was one boy that she paid attention too, Brantley was the center of her world. They had been dating since she was thirteen and she was turning seventeen in a few days.

He groaned. "I know, it sucks having so many girls but I wouldn't trade any of them for the world." He said as he placed kisses all over Charlie's face causing her to squeal in laughter. She had brown ringlets and bright green eyes, and had been my tiniest baby at just a meager seven and a half pounds when she was born.

I laughed as I looked down the bleachers to where the rest of our kids were scattered amongst their friends. Jasmine, Noelle, Landon, Arianna, Gavyn, and baby Charlie were my entire world. I never did go back to school and get my teaching license but that was perfectly okay because I knew that my place in the world was being an amazing mother to my six kids and an amazing wife to my husband of almost seventeen years. Even though I hadn't gotten my degree like I had thought I wanted when I was a young girl, I owned and operated my own daycare in downtown Savannah. "I love you, Edward." I told him as I looked back at him.

He smiled and hugged me closer to his side. "Still worth believing in?" He asked against my ear.

I smiled and nodded. "Definitely worth believing in, our family is something good to believe in."
