Hmm... I guess i have nothing else to add. So here you go. The very last chapter of LiAD!


Bella's POV (Don't you miss our dear little Bella?"

"How's my two little monsters doing?" I asked as the twins-Daniel and Dean came running towards me as I entered the glamorous apartment.

"Auntie Belly!" they shouted and clung onto my neck, almost causing me to lose my balance while squatting down.

Before this, they always called me Auntie Bella, but ever since Emmett decided to call me Belly in front of these two, well, there went my perfect name.

"Were you two being a good boy today?"

They beamed at me, and told me how they placed back their toys after playing.

"Where's Unkie Eddie?" Daniel asked. Both of them looked up at me with teary eyes, when they realized their favorite uncle didn't come with me.

"He'll be here soon…" I told them with a smile then they sped off towards their room, shouting something along the line of, "Yes! I'm going to show him what I drew!"

Ian appeared from the kitchen with two glasses of fruit smoothie. "Hi Ian…"

"Hey sis…" He took a glance at where the twins headed towards and continued walking towards me. "It seems that they love Edward more." He teased.

I crossed my arms and plopped down on the couch. "Don't even talk about it. It's your fault. I buy them gifts all the time and this is how your sons treat their aunty."

"Someone's jealous." He noted, passing me the smoothie and sat on the loveseat next to the couch I was sitting at.

I stuck my tongue out at him childishly. "Nah, I've accepted the fact that dealing with kids is what Edward's good at, since he's always stuck around with children." True, Edward's a doctor who works in the children wad.

"I better go check if there's anything I can help Mel with." I wanted to stand up but was stopped by Ian.

"She's downstairs…"

I quirked my eyebrows and asked. "For what?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. We decided not to cook today, and have the people downstairs to bring our dinner up here."

I laughed. "Mel's getting sick of cooking, isn't she?"

Just then, Mel entered the living room. "I heard my name." She said and gave me a hug before sitting next to her husband.

Ian placed his arms around her instantly and kissed her forehead. "Bella was just asking if you're tired of cooking."

Mel narrowed her eyes and I blushed, embarrassed at my comment on her. Being the determined Mel, of course she wouldn't give up on cooking, even though she's basically still a learner who's attending cooking courses.

She laughed when she saw my reaction. "How easy it is to make you blush."

"You're right, Mel. I'm wondering if that brother in law of mine would ever get tired of her blush, even though he proclaims that she looks prettiest when she blushes."

I slapped my brother's arms hard, earning an "ouch" from him. "What's that for?"

"For doubting your sister's blush." I rolled my eyes.

Just like Mel, Edward entered the living room without us realizing. "Ooh, I hear someone has doubts over Bella's blush. By the way, I'm so proud of how easily my wife can blush."

My face got even hotter, and I knew I'd looked like a red tomato. Edward could very well be the cheesiest person in the entire universe. I had never seen someone announcing to the world how pretty his wife's blush is, how brilliant his wife is in work etcetera.

He sat beside me and gave me a peck on my lips. I couldn't believe my heart still beat faster whenever he gave me that infamous crooked smile. Ugh, my heartbeat was always a traitor, and he knew it, especially when he's holding my wrist…

"Unkie Eddie!" The kids came running out of their room once they heard his voice. No one ever called Edward Eddie, without getting death glares from him. My nephews and I were exceptions, however.

"Hello my two most favorite little boys." He ruffled their hair. "So, what did you do today?"

"I drew a butterfly!" Daniel showed him.

"Very nice…" Edward commented. "Dean, How 'bout you?" He looked at Dean.

Dean pointed at each person in the drawing. "This is daddy, mummy, Daniel, me, Auntie Belly, you, Auntie Alice, Unkie Jaspy, Auntie Rose, and Unkie Emmie."

How they loved calling names that ended with either 'ie' or 'y'.

All of a sudden, I felt everything became a blur, and I squeezed my eyes shut. Voices appeared in my head louder and clearer than before, ever since I started hearing that velvety voice which sounded like Edward.

"I know you can hear me." The velvety voice said. This time, he sounded more desperate.

"Please wake up." He whispered and I felt someone planting a kiss on my hand.

I shook my head, and Edward wrapped his arms around my shoulder. "Are you alright, love?"

I opened my eyes and the voices disappeared. I stared at him for a few seconds. "Yeah, yeah… I'm… I'm fine."

"You sure? 'Cause you look really pale." He placed his hand on my cheek and I leaned into it.

I couldn't tell him I hear voices constantly. What if he takes me to the asylum, thinking that I'm crazy? What if he dislikes me, all because I can hear voices?

Luckily, my stomach grumbled and it saved me from explaining the unnecessary. "I look pale 'cause I'm hungry, I guess."

Ian snorted. "Just the same old Bella who faints if she misses a meal."

I shot a glare at him and smiled, before tiptoeing and ruffled his hair. "Just the same old me who does things that annoy you."

That night, I got into bed, with Edward's arms around my waist and his face nuzzled into my neck as usual. But this time, it was different. My dreams were getting more realistic.

I was walking down a hallway, with many wooden doors lining up at both sides. Then, a figure appeared in front of me, silhouetted against the bright background of the hallway.

"Who are you?" I asked.

The figure ignored me and continued walking, until he reaches a door that had my name engraved on it beautifully. Nice Craftwork.

He opened the door and disappeared into it. I quickly ran into the room, only to find out that the figure was gone.

I gasped. The room was exactly like my room in Papa's house. A bronze hair guy kneeled beside the bed, and a few other people were standing behind him. They seemed so familiar, as though I've seen them before.

I walked forward, and took a glimpse at the person lying down on the bed.

My breath hitched as I realized the person looked exactly like me. The bronze hair guy turned around with a sad face, giving me a chance to see him.

"Edward?" I whispered.

A voice, much like my own, appeared in my mind. "Yes, he is Edward. Child, it's time for you to wake up."

"Wake up? Why?" I need to wake up, I must! This is just a dream, a weird dream.

"Everything in this room is reality, Bella. That is you, in real life. You've been sleeping for years. So, it's time for you to wake up."

Of course I need to wake up, voice! You are the dream… And a weird one too…

"No… I have my life, a happy life in fact. Edward's by my side, and he's all I need." I told the voice, rolling my eyes as I realized it was quite ridiculous to continue talking to the voice in my head when I knew I had to wake up from this stupid dream.

"He's just a dream. The real Edward is out there. Out there waiting for you…" The voice said.

I squeezed my eyes shut. "No, you're wrong. Shut up!"

She ignored me, and continued whispering in my mind, telling me to wake up to reality.

"Fucking stop whispering!" I shouted and my eyes snapped open. My breathing was erratic and my heart was beating so wildly, that I feared I'd get a heart attack. My body was slick with sweat. Eeewww…

Edward woke up and switched on the light. "Are you okay?" He wanted to place his arms around my waist, and I flinched under his touch.

"I'm okay.." I got up and almost fell. His hand shot out to balance me but I pushed him away. "I can walk perfectly alright."

I headed into the bathroom and locked the door. Looking into the mirror, I thought of the dream that had been haunting me for days. You guessed correctly, it wasn't the first time that I had that dream. But, it was the first time the annoying voice appeared.

"It can't be real." I shook my head and opened the tap, splashing water onto my face.

I got out of the bathroom once I've calmed down, but I bumped into Edward's chest instead.

He chuckled. "Love, are you sure you're fine? You've been acting weird since this afternoon."

I looked up at him with a smile. "I'm okay."

He lifted my chin, and looked into my eyes, with that pair of mesmerizing green eyes. But they weren't as piercing and full of emotions as those I saw in the pictures.

He kissed me, and as if by reaction, my hands soon found their way to his soft hair.

This was too perfect. He was too perfect. Everything was too perfect after I work up from that car accident, or so I thought it was. But Edward told me it was just a dream.

The life I had right after I woke up, to finding him sleeping next to me, calling me his wife till now, was too good to be real.

Edward and I never argued even once, Ian and Mel too. All of us were happy, Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie.

The relationship that I had with Edward was too smooth too. There wasn't even a single obstacle, which always happened in real life, so that a couple could test how strong their bond was.

"I'm sorry." The voice appeared in my mind again. "I have to leave."

I snapped open my eyes and pushed Edward away. "No, you're not Edward."

His eyebrows knitted together. "What's the matter, love? I am Edward."

"No. This is a dream! Everyone isn't real." I dropped to the ground and brought my knees up to my chest.

"Are you alright, Bella?" Not this question again.

I looked up, only to find Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, Emmett looking at me with concerned looks. We were in our living room.

I creased my eyebrows as I remembered I was actually in my bedroom, telling Edward how everything was fake.

As if answering my question, Ian spoke. "Bella, of course we're all real."

He smiled at me, with one arm around Mel, who was holding Dean, and the other arm carrying Daniel.

I laughed darkly. "No, you're not. I don't remember anything, other than the car approaching me. Then when I woke up, you guys were all here. I don't remember Ian marrying Mel. I don't remember Dean and Daniel being born. I remember nothing!"

I looked towards Edward, who was approaching me. "YOU! I don't remember us ever being together. How could we become husband and wife all of a sudden?"

Edward raised his eyebrow. "Don't you want this? Isn't this life what you wished for?"

I thought for a moment. True, I always wanted a happy life. I always wanted to be Edward, even though I knew I had an arranged marriage with some other dude, whom I had no idea who he was.

"You see, you want this. You want all of us, having a happily ever after fairytale."

"Yeah, Bella. You've always wanted this." Alice said. True, I'd rather stay here than marrying some stupid guys in real life.

Edward was by my side, whispering into my ears. "Stay with us and never doubt that we're real. Of course, we're all real."

I closed my eyes and remembered the voice in my dream. "The real Edward is out there. Out there waiting for you…" She said.

That meant the velvety voice was all along Edward's, the real Edward's voice. He was by my side, in reality. He was there. He knew I could hear him. He wanted me to wake up.

"Please… Please let me go." I sobbed.

"No, please stay with us. Deep down in your heart, you know you want to." Edward smirked.

I shook my head. "Please… Let me go! I need to get back to the ones who love me dearly. I don't want to keep them waiting."

"Bella, we're the ones who love you." Rosalie said.

"If you go back, you won't get to marry me." Edward said.

I shook my head. "No, the real Edward's waiting for me. He's there for me, and I know it."

"I love you." The voice said in my mind. Please… Please don't leave me. I'm leaving here. I'm waking up. Wait for me, please…

"I snapped open my eyes and shouted on top of my lungs. "Damn you all! You're supposedly my dream, so stop acting as though we're in reality! And even if my groom isn't Edward, I will find a way to bring us together."

They smiled at me warmly, and disappeared.

Then the scene changed into the bright hallway that appeared in my dream.

The voice, which was like mine, whispered. "Now, all you have to do is choose a room. If you open the correct one, you'll be awake. If you don't, you'll be in this deep slumber, forever."

I nodded and started walking down the hallway, looking from left to right.

I couldn't choose the wrong door, and I must choose the correct door fast. Time was slipping away, as I contemplated my choices.

"Goodbye, Bella." The real Edward said.

"No, don't leave me." I said, as I wiped the tears that kept flowing out.

Then I saw my mother, waving at me from the door on my right.

I ran towards her, my sixth sense screaming at me, "This is the right door!"

I opened it, and walked into the dark place and fell.

I screamed, and shouted. Sorry, Edward. I'm afraid I'm going to die.

My body jerked upwards and my head knocked onto someone's.

"Ouch!" I rubbed my forehead and lied back on the mattress, I supposed.

"Bella?" The velvety voice said. "Oh my God, you're awake!"

"Heck, I'm back to the dream." I groaned, unwilling to open my eyes.

He chuckled. "You're not dreaming. Open your eyes, please."

I shook my head.

Before I knew it, his breath fanned across me when he said, "Try pinching yourself then, and see if you're still dreaming."

Weird… Fake Edward wouldn't call me to hurt myself.

I pinched myself hard. "Ouch!"

Then I opened my eyes, only to be met by the most piercing green eyes I've ever seen.

This is real. This is the real Edward.


I have a question. Did you think it was real? That i'd start this chapter for a few years later?

Haha!
