AN: Sorry it took so long but my USB died on me and since my computer has a history of crashing (twice in the first year I bought it) I've limited my use on it so I could complete the last post without losing any of my stories and such.

This is it, everyone!!! Thank you so much for your faithfulness and your encouragements and reviews. You have inspired me to finish what I started. This is a long one, added up to fourteen pages, but I think it was necessary. I was going to split it up into two chapters but I decided y'all would enjoy a long ending to my story.

Epilogue

75 Years Later

Annabelle stepped through the trees, her eyes falling on the beautifully aged house before her.

She closed her eyes, allowing the gentle breeze to soothe her, inside and out. She hadn't realized until now how much she had missed her first real home after having escaped from Aro…the small town of Forks, Washington had held a special place in her heart without her even realizing it.

"Anna, you're in the way," Emmett grumbled as he moved around her, carrying a dark walnut chest, "Either go find yourself a corner or go help unload the damn moving truck…most of this crap is yours anyway."

"Go jump off a cliff, Em," Annabelle muttered as she stepped aside, allowing Jasper to follow after him, carrying a cherry wood bookcase, "Besides, by the time I get to the truck, you'll be done."

"So find yourself a good vantage point and watch me work, baby," Emmett laughed as he breezed right by her, slapping Rosalie on her behind with a wink as she sauntered towards the house.

"Right," Rosalie looked at Annabelle, rolling her eyes, "Because our day wouldn't be as good if we didn't watch him use his muscles."

"At least it wouldn't be as painful as watching him trying to use his brain," Alice added as she danced by Annabelle, laughing at Emmett's mock growl as he moved towards the house with another large piece of furniture.

"Be nice to Emmett," Bella walked by Annabelle, a duffel bag tossed over her shoulder, "It's not fair to pick on someone who's not to blame for what he lacks."

"For a while there, I thought you were going to stand up for me," Emmett frowned at Bella as he returned to the moving truck, "Should have known you'd turn on me too."

"Not that it would dent your ego," Jasper shrugged as he returned to the house with several suitcases in hand…Alice had quadrupled her wardrobe since the last time they had been in Forks.

Carlisle and Esme walked into the clearing, hand in hand, smiles on their faces as they watched their "children" teasing each other back and forth.

Annabelle breathed in deep as she crossed her arms over her stomach, watching as each one of her family members entered the house…they were back in Forks and all of them were starting high school in two weeks…just like they have done for the past seventy-five years…

Annabelle looked over her shoulder towards the woods, her mind taking her back to the nights she would go searching for Jacob. It seemed so long ago and yet it felt like yesterday.

Shivering, she closed her eyes as she remembered that horrid day in Italy when her life had been turned inside out once again…

This time around, she had been the only one to blame.

Looking up into familiar golden eyes, she smiled sadly as she turned into his arms.

"You okay?"

"Yeah," Annabelle buried her face into his neck, wishing she could let go of the guilt at what she had done.

"Let it go, Annie."

She nodded, knowing that they had all been able to let go of what had happened…every single one of them had empathized with her situation…they had understood her pain.

Unfortunately, she still couldn't forgive herself…she still couldn't let go…

He had trusted her to stop…


One Year Later, September

"Who are they," Patricia tossed her blonde hair over her shoulder as she looked across the cafeteria, her eyes resting on a group of the most beautiful people she had ever seen.

"Uh," Monica looked up from the book she was reading to look at Patricia, the new girl from California, "Oh, you mean the Cullens."

"The Cullens," Patricia's eyes moved over each of them.

"Yes," Monica put down her book, giving Patricia her full attention, "They moved here from the East Coast about last year. They're all adopted by Dr. Carlisle Cullen and his wife."

"The bronze haired one is kind of cute," Patricia smiled as he turned to look her way before returning his attention to his siblings.

"That's Edward Cullen. His sister is Alice, the small one with the real short hair. The two blondes are Rosalie and Jasper Hale. They're twins. And the two brunettes are Isabelle and Annabelle Causley…also twins. And the two big guys are brothers…Emmett and Jacob Black."

"So they aren't all related to each other," Patricia couldn't help but suck in a breath as the one Monica had pointed out as Edward Cullen looked her way again.

"No, but they're all together," Monica smiled at Patricia, knowing what was going through her mind, "Edward's dating Isabelle…I've heard him call her Bella. Emmett and Rosalie are an item. Jasper and Alice are also a couple. And Jacob's with Annabelle. I think that's the reason why they don't socialize outside of their own circle. They've got all they need within their own family."

"That's kind of weird," Patricia moved her eyes over the group again, "Has no one tried befriending them?"

"They don't give anybody the opportunity to befriend them. Out of all eight of them, only Isabelle and Annabelle are somewhat friendly to others. The rest of them are fine with keeping to themselves."


"New girl entertaining you," Bella whispered into Edward's ear as she watched him watch the dark blond haired girl across the cafeteria.

"Yeah," Edward looked down at Bella, his butterscotch eyes warm and identical to hers, "She's wondering about us all…made me thing of the first time I met you. I had no idea what you were thinking and it drove me crazy."

"She looks very interested in you," Bella turned to give the blonde girl a cool look, an eyebrow raised in warning, "If she knows what's best for her, she needs to stop staring at you as if you were available."

"You're so cute when you get jealous," Edward murmured as he lowered his head, resting his lips on her neck, "Even though we both know the girl's no threat…I can't seem to see anyone beyond you."

"And it better stay that way," Bella turned to kiss him quickly before looking at the rest of her family.

Annabelle was grinning at them, her head resting on Jacob's shoulder, "You too are too cute…it's almost sickening."

Jacob's shoulders shook as he chuckled, turning his head to kiss her forehead, his arm sliding around her small waist. Annabelle looked up at him, her breath stopping as she looked into his eyes…eyes that had once been dark and intense were now an interesting shade of brown…not quite burgundy but not quite yellow as the rest of theirs.

Jacob slid his hand under her top, resting his fingers on her hip, wishing they weren't in school so he could –

"You are disgusting," Edward glared at Jacob across the table, wishing for the millionth time he weren't able to ready minds, "It's the middle of the day, you pervert."

Jacob grinned as he turned to look at Edward, pulling Annabelle closer to him, "As if you aren't thinking of Bella the same way right now…"

"I am not…I can control my hormones when it's the middle of the day," Edward gave Jacob a look of arrogance and pride which quickly turned to contrition as Annabelle started laughing.

"Liar," Annabelle tossed her black hair over her shoulder, "All you ever do is think of Bella that way."

"Change of conversation, please," Bella grimaced in embarrassment, "We don't need to talk about sex…especially not in the middle of the day in the cafeteria during school hours."

"How about it's time to go," Alice took her lunch tray and moved away from the table all in one fluid motion, "Bell should be ringing soon so we might as well head to class."

"Off to learn some more French," Jacob grumbled as he grabbed the tray he had been sharing with Annabelle, "You would think that after seventy-six years, schools would find other languages to teach but no, all they teach is French, German and Spanish. How much more can I learn?"

"Jacob," Annabelle grabbed the books and notebooks in the middle of the table, "Don't talk so loud…besides, we get to spend the hour and a half passing notes to each other."

"Just like love sick teenagers, dear God, it's disgusting," Edward muttered as he grabbed both his and Bella's books, "You'd think they just met the way they act. Honestly."

"You're just being a prude," Annabelle stuck her tongue out at Edward before walking off towards the foreign language building, Jacob quickly falling into place.

Looking up into his eyes, she smiled as he reached out to take the books from her before taking her hand, their fingers lacing together. Stepping closer to him, she couldn't help the way her body felt as he leaned down, his lips brushing her ear.

"How about we play hooky and head out into the woods?"

She knew she shouldn't, that she should insist for them to go to class like the good acting Cullens they were supposed to be but she couldn't resist his smile, or the way his eyes looked at her…

She looked over her shoulder to see Edward and Bella head off to the Biology building for the class they had together and the other two couples head to the opposite side of the school campus for their math and English Lit class before turning to smile at Jacob, smoothly changing their route towards the woods that bordered the back of the main school building.


Annabelle laughed as the large wolf pounced on her, his tongue lapping over his face, "Gross, Jake!"

Jake laughed as he phased down and kissed the other side of her face…the side that was free of slobber. Annabelle wiped her hand across her cheek, staring deep into his golden brown eyes which still had a hint of dark red in them.

She sighed as he moved his mouth down her neck towards her breasts, closing her eyes as her mind went back to Italy.

"Annabelle, you have to stop, now!"

Before Carlisle could grab her shoulder to pull her away from Jacob, she wrenched herself away, gasping for composure as she wiped away the blood left on her lips.

"Dear God, Annabelle, you almost killed him," Edward stood several feet away and Annabelle knew he had been ready to help Carlisle pull her away, "He's lost enough blood on his own and you almost took what was left."

"That's enough, Edward," Bella placed her hand on Edward's arm to stop him from continuing in berating Annabelle; "She stopped. His heart is still beating."

Annabelle's eyes moved over Jacob, watching as his face contorted in agony, biting his bottom lip as the all consuming fire slowly spread from his neck to the rest of his body.

Annabelle bit her lip as she buried her face into his chest, a sob rising from deep in her chest and lodging in the middle of her throat, making it difficult to swallow.

The rest of the family went in and out of the room throughout the three days, but Annabelle didn't move. She stayed draped over Jacob, not once moving, trying to absorb as much of the pain as she could, her ear pressed to his heart, her breath matching his heartbeat…

The third day, she stopped breathing along with his heart. Moving slowly, she looked up into his face and watched as he opened his eyes…eyes that had once been dark but were now a bright burgundy.

"Jacob," her voice was low and rusty from lack of use as she moved closer to his face, "Jacob."

Breathing in deep, Jacob moved his head to the side to look into her black eyes, "Annabelle."

"Jacob…Jacob, you're alright," Annabelle kissed his lips, his eyes, his nose, any part of his face that she could reach. Jacob couldn't help but chuckle at her obvious enthusiasm as he pushed himself into a sitting position, looking around the empty room.

"Yeah, I am," Jacob swallowed, grimacing at the burning sensation at the back of his throat, "Did you think I wouldn't be?"

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry," Annabelle ran her hands over his chest, cupping his face, "I almost didn't stop. I almost killed you myself. Please, please forgive me."

"Anna," Jacob buried his hand into her tangled hair, pulling her face away from his chest, "You stopped. You were strong enough to stop. Don't beat yourself about it."

Annabelle shook her head, her hair falling over her pale face, "I'm so sorry."

"Anna, stop," Jacob tipped her head back, pressing his lips over hers to stop her from talking.

Annabelle groaned as she gripped his shoulders, opening her mouth and allowing his tongue to explore what he hadn't explored before.

Within minutes, their bodies heated up as Jacob pulled her into the bed with him, her arms holding him tight against her body, her legs wrapping around him to pull him even closer.

Jacob rolled over, pulling her under him as his marble hard body covered hers…

"Annabelle, you're not here with me," Jacob bit her shoulder as he wedged a thigh between her legs, "What are you thinking?"

"I was thinking of our first time together," Annabelle smiled up into his unusual burgundy yellow eyes, "In Italy."

"Hmmm," Jacob hummed deep in his chest as he recalled that day, "That was amazing. I realized then you were holding back on me the other times before that."

"Of course I was," Annabelle chuckled softly as she grazed her teeth over his neck, "I didn't want to hurt you."

"Well, I'm grateful for that," Jacob murmured as he moved his mouth down her breasts to her stomach, "But you hurt me in so many other ways."

"I didn't do it on purpose," Annabelle looked down at him, her butterscotch eyes filled with remorse, "It's not like I set out to have you imprint on me."

"That is true," Jacob moved to cover her body, moving inside her as he brushed his lips over hers, "But you did set out to seduce me…and that just led to a whole lot of hurting I wasn't expecting."

"I didn't seduce you," Annabelle gasped as he moved deep inside her, her eyes closing at the intense pleasure at being joined with him, "You interrupted my midnight swim…you were the one that touched me first."

"You were the one that looked at me with those begging eyes," Jacob's voice was low and heavy as he moved his mouth across her jaw, "I couldn't leave you after that."

"It's not my fault you're a pushover," Annabelle buried her hands into his hair, gripping it tight to devour his mouth.

Jacob growled deep in the back of his throat as he wrapped his arms tight around Annabelle, their bodies falling into a unique and intimate rhythm that left them both breathing heavy.


Jacob rolled off her, pulling her into his arms, burying his face into her hair as he thought back over the past seventy plus years.

The venom that so usually froze a person in time and gave them immortality had given him the immortality but hadn't locked him into his human shape even though it had kept him seventeen.

Carlisle and Edward had been trying to figure out why he was different from all the other vampires, why he still had the ability to change his shape, why his body temperature was hotter than theirs but cooler than what it used to be, why his eyes hadn't completely turned the unusual yellow shade as the rest of theirs but were a mixture of burgundy and yellow that made him look more human than the others.

Carlisle was positive it had to do with that extra pair of chromosomes he had…the twenty-fourth pair, which Carlisle believed to be the chromosome responsible for his shape-shifting. He had no way of comparing the DNA from the sample he had taken from Jacob back when he was hurt by the newborn vampire to the DNA he had now to see if that twenty-fourth chromosome had been changed…which he believed it hadn't. But that didn't keep Carlisle from speculating and theorizing.

The only thing that Jacob knew was that he would forever be with Annabelle. Looking down at her, he smiled into her butterscotch eyes when he caught her watching him. It had been hard, getting used to what he had become and to what he had given up to remain with Annabelle but after all the years that had passed, he realized he would do it again without regrets.

He missed his brothers, his tribe, and it was particularly hard being so close to the reservation and not being able to even cross the treaty line. Because of what he was, he was banned from his own hometown…but he had Annabelle.

"Is it hard," Annabelle whispered as she reached up to touch his face, her slim fingers brushing over his squared jaw, "Being so close to your people and not being able to be with them?"

"You are my people, Annabelle," Jacob kissed her forehead, breathing in her scent before he moved his lips to her ear; "I love you."

Annabelle froze, her eyes locked with his, her breath caught in her throat. Even though they had been inseparable over the last seventy seven years, this was the first time Jacob had said those words to her.

She hadn't demanded them from him because she saw his decision to become a vampire…to become the enemy of his people and heritage…as the ultimate show of love but it still felt amazing to hear those words out loud.

She pushed herself off him, resting her weight on her arm, and kissed him, tugging at his bottom lip with her teeth, "I love you too."

"I know," Jacob grabbed her around the waist and pulled her on top of him until she straddled him, "I have a question to ask you."

"You do," Annabelle ran her hands over his chest as she leaned down to kiss him, "Ask away."

"Will you marry me?"

Annabelle couldn't help it, the laughter just busted out of her as she collapsed on him.

"What's so damn funny," Jacob's eyebrows lowered in anger, his hands falling away from her waist.

"It's not you," Annabelle rushed to reassure him, framing his face with her hands to keep him from looking away, "We've been together for seventy six years and you're asking me to marry you now? Why?"

"I don't know…several reasons, I suppose," Jacob moved his hands over her back, keeping her tight against his chest, "I want you to belong to me…"

"I already do."

"…I want the family, especially Edward, to know that I'm serious about you…"

"They know that."

"…and I want to be the one to give you the one thing you wanted the most before it all went wrong for you."

"Jacob," Annabelle pushed herself up to look deep into his beautifully unique eyes, "You've given me so much more…you've given me my very soul. I can't ask for more than that."

"Are you going to marry me or not," Jacob's jaw tightened as he gripped her shoulders, his eyes showing a weariness she hadn't seen in the past seventy-six years they'd been together.

She realized that he was afraid of her rejection, that he actually thought she might say no.

"Of course I'll marry you," Annabelle kissed him, her tongue delving deep into his mouth, her body on fire for him, her heart rejoicing in response to his love, "When would you like to get married?"

"You have one more year of school," Jacob moved his mouth down her throat, his teeth grazing those crescent shaped marks on her neck, "We'll get married after you graduate."

"To hell with school, I'll drop out," Annabelle's yellow eyes were bright with excitement, "You graduate in five months…we can get married this coming summer."

"Head out on our own for a while," Jacob moved his hand up her thighs, "We can go up to Canada…or Alaska."

"I don't care where we go as long as I'm with you," Annabelle moved her fingers over his chest, tracing the deep lines of his well defined abdomen.

"How are we going to convince Carlisle and Esme to let you quit school," Jacob buried his hands into her waist length thick blue black hair, pulling her face down to kiss her mouth, "There's no way they'll let you do that. We have to keep up the pretenses, remember?"

"No worries," Annabelle chuckled as she moved her hips to take him into her body, "We just don't tell them and two months before you graduate, I'll start spreading a rumor around that I'm pregnant and that we're getting married and moving out of town on our own."

Jacob's laughter soon turned into a groan of pleasure as Annabelle moved over him, her lips trailing down his throat, her tongue tracing the crescent shaped scars she had left behind.

They spent the rest of the day and most of the evening together, pleasuring each other, whispering and talking, sharing thoughts, secrets, plans, hopes, dreams…

They were like a newly engaged couple, glorying in newfound love, both enjoying each other as if they had just met, all the pain and anger and agony they had suffered, all the pain they had inflicted on each other forgotten in the joy of their mutual love.


April

"So the rumor around school is that you're pregnant," Edward walked into Annabelle and Jacob's bedroom, knowing they were simply talking and not doing anything he wouldn't want to see, "What the hell is going on?"

"Jacob and I are getting married," Annabelle looked up from the book she and Jacob had been reading together while they were snuggled at the end of the suede burgundy couch, which was identical to the one Annabelle had bought when she first moved into the house, "Right after he graduates. The only way I can get out of doing my Cullen duty and dropping out of high school is by becoming a pregnant teenager."

"You are nuts," Edward shook his head, trying hard not to laugh at Annabelle's idiotic logic, "Esme is going to flip…you're putting the entire family in the middle of a small town scandal."

"Not only that," Bella walked into the room, arms crossed across her chest, "But people aren't sure if it's you or I that is pregnant. Thanks a lot."

Annabelle laughed as she buried her face into Jacob's neck, her shoulders shaking with her laughter.

"By the way," Bella smirked as she linked an arm through Edward's, "Alice is already planning the wedding. She plans on going all out in hopes that the big party will overshadow the whole pregnancy thing."

"It's set for three weeks after graduation," Alice walked into the room uninvited, a binder in one hand and a pen in the other, "Since you two insist on getting married so fast, then we'll do it. We have two months to plan the biggest wedding Forks has ever seen…since Bella and Edward's, of course just so we can make everyone forget about the whole pregnancy thing. We could, of course, go one with the wedding but spread the word around that it was a false alarm. You don't really have to go through these extremes just to get married."

"And as you can see, this is becoming a family matter," Emmett walked into the room with a big grin, followed by Jasper and Rosalie, "Anyway, I came in here to take Jacob to Seattle. I'm gonna help you to pick out the best ring for your girl, bro."

Jacob laughed as he kissed Annabelle's forehead before pushing himself off the couch, taking Emmett's hand and stepping into a brief congratulatory hug, "Thanks, Em. Hey, will you be my best man?"

"Of course, man!" Emmett laughed as he tugged Jacob into another brotherly hug, "Unless you want me to officiate the wedding."

"No, I want you to be my best man," Jacob stepped away from Emmett and turned towards the rest of the gathering family, "Either Jasper or Edward can officiate the wedding."

"I'd rather give Annie away," Edward leaned against the wall, pulling Bella into his arms to have her lean against his chest, "Of course, that depends if Annie would want that."

"Now that's a hard one," Annabelle put down her book, tucking her feet under her, "I have to choose between you and Carlisle."

"You can choose whoever you want Anna," Carlisle smiled at her, an arm draped around Esme's shoulders.

"We still have weeks to plan the wedding," Alice was moving her pen across the paper in the binder quickly, "So you have time to think about it. For now, Emmett, take Jacob to Seattle and help him find a ring for Annabelle. Rosalie, Bella and I will go with you to start looking for a wedding dress. We can plan the rest later today."

Annabelle grinned as she looked across the room into Jacob's eyes, enjoying the look of pleasure he was sporting…she knew he was feeling ten feet tall.

"So we're having a wedding," Rosalie crossed her arms over her chest, "Can we start telling people it was a false alarm."

"No one's going to believe it if they get married three weeks after graduation," Esme shook her head, her mahogany hair falling over her shoulders, "Even if the rumor hadn't been spread and you two waited until after Annabelle graduated, people would have still speculated."

"Just like with Edward and Bella," Alice nodded her head as she closed the binder, grinning at Bella's face, "You mean you didn't know? Even though you two waited until August, the gossip around town for the two weeks before and after your wedding was that Bella was pregnant and that's why you two got married so young."

"Oh my God," Bella buried her face in her hands, feeling embarrassment welling up inside her.

"Why does it matter now," Edward nuzzled her neck, his lips brushing her earlobe, "That was seventy six years ago."

"Right," Bella wrapped her arms around her waist over Edward's, fighting hard to temper the feelings of shame and embarrassment.

"Enough of all this," Alice tossed the binder onto the couch before grabbing Annabelle's hand and pulling her off the couch, "We're heading to Seattle."

Annabelle sighed as she looked at Jacob, allowing Alice to pull her out of the room along with Bella and Rosalie.

It was going to be a long day.


Annabelle stood in the middle of her room, her eyes locked on the view outside the window. She was waiting for the right time, not a minute sooner and not a minute later.

"Annie, it's time," Edward opened the door and stopped, sucking his breath in at the sight before him.

Annabelle turned towards him, a soft smile lighting up her beautiful face. Her hair was caught back in a beautiful disarray of curls that fell down her back and over her bare shoulders.

The dress was sleeveless, the bodice like a second skin and the skirt flaring out into a bell, the fabric a white silk with beautifully embroidered embellishments at the hem of the dress and the bodice.

"You look beautiful," Edward stepped further into the room, looking classically elegant in a black tuxedo, "Wow."

"Thank you," Annabelle took the bouquet of stargazer lilies from the desk by the window, "Shall we go?"

"Yes," Edward smiled as he tucked Annabelle's hand into the crook of his elbow, "Jacob's waiting. By the way…thank you for letting me give you away."

"It made sense," Annabelle smiled up at Edward, her eyes bright with barely contained joy.

She navigated the stairs carefully, the wide skirt making it just a bit hard, but Edward was a great help.

They stopped just inside the back door where the rest of the bridal party was waiting. Alice, Rosalie (the maid of honor…due to her initial encouragement for Annabelle to go after Jacob and because they had become close friends throughout the years), and Bella all wore matching deep burgundy dresses with golden sashes around the waist, each clutching a bouquet of tiger lilies.

"We're ready." Alice grinned at Annabelle before taking Jasper's left arm and urging Bella to take his right arm. Due to Edward being the one to give Annabelle away, they had been short one groomsman, but Jasper had graciously offered to escort both Alice and Bella down the aisle, where they would be followed by Rosalie and Emmett.

Carlisle was officiating the wedding and Esme was already sitting at the front row along with the Denali clan.

The music began to play, one of the many pieces she had composed and released to the public under a pseudonym, the notes beautiful and light and full of promise and romance.

Annabelle couldn't help the smile spreading across her full lipped mouth as the bridal party slowly made its way down the long aisle, the breeze carrying with it the hint of lilies and roses.

It seemed like time stood still as she took Jacob's hand, their eyes locked as they stood before Carlisle. Carlisle smiled as he clasped his hands before him, his voice smooth and deep as he began the ceremony.

"Dearly beloved…"

Before long, it was time for the vows, which they had decided to write themselves.

"Anna," Carlisle turned to look at his daughter, his butterscotch eyes bright with joy.

Annabelle handed her bouquet to Rosalie, taking the plain silver ring from her before turning to her soon to be husband, "Jacob…fate has thrown so many things my way…some good, some bad…but you are, by far, the best thing that has ever happened to me. I didn't expect to fall in love with you and I much less expected to realize that life without you wouldn't be worth living. You have become the reason for my existence…you have become my very soul. And I look forward to spending the rest of forever with you. I love you."

Jacob smiled as Annabelle slipped the ring onto the third finger of his left hand before he turned to take the delicate silver ring with small imbedded diamonds that were as clear and bright as the one on her engagement ring, "Annabelle…fate through me for a loop when I first met you. I had a set course, responsibilities, and a destination. Not of it included you. No matter how hard I fought, though, you got deeper into my heart until I couldn't stand it anymore…I couldn't deny it. You are my very center…without you, I wouldn't have anything to stand on. What I thought was a mistake, my feelings for you, turned out to be the greatest gift that life could give me. I can think of nothing greater than being with you forever. I love you."

Annabelle's eyes brightened with emotion as Jacob placed the ring on her finger, both of them smiling at each other as Carlisle proceeded with the ceremony, declaring them to be husband and wife.

"You may kiss the bride."

Everybody laughed as Jacob and Annabelle moved towards each other with an obvious eagerness, their arms wrapped around each other as they got lost in the kiss, oblivious to the applause, cheers or even the fireworks Jasper and Emmett and kept hidden from Alice.

It looked like forever for them was starting off with a great fanfare and celebration.
