Ok guys this is the last of it. If you haven't reviewed yet please do so now. I need to know what you think. I have a few people to recognize, cheesy I know but it's what's right…
Can't forget about Jigsaw Rose my absolutely wonderful beta. She was right on the ball and helped me be able to push this out so fast. THANK YOU Rose.
And my mother she was there to go through ever letter and word with me, and when I began to think this was too much she was there to "talk me from the ledge". She made for a good cheering section (as most mothers do).
And my dad because I'm a daddy's girl and the ending is based on what I would want if I was in Bella position.
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters or anything else associated with twilight I just wanted to use them to practice with, no infringement is intended.
EPILOGUE
*One year later*
BPOV
I have control of everything now, and I have found that I can shield more than myself. It helps for all occasions really. However nothing can be kept from Alice and I think that makes her the happiest pixie ever. It works out well to have a private conversation with Edward, and Edward and I are stronger than ever.
EPOV
Bella has adjusted well and it took no time at all. It is almost like she was meant to be a vampire. She has mastered her skills and gotten control over her impulses. I couldn't be happier I have my love and my family. Life is perfect.
*Five years later*
BPOV
Edward and I have been married for five years now and we are still going strong. We have been in forks this whole time but now that tome is up we must move. I'm starting to worry about my father and wish I could talk to Jacob one more time let him know I'm okay.
I know my father has noticed a difference in me but I don't think he knows what it is. Jake knows what I am but won't talk to me. I stood at the glass wall and looked out into the forest thinking, worrying, trying to find a way to make it all work out.
"What's wrong Bella?"Alice broke into my mental sadness.
"Oh nothing Alice, I was just worrying about my father." I left Jake out of it I don't want to hurt their feelings.
"You know Bella it will all work out the way it's supposed to." She sounds so smug I hate it when she does that.
"What did you see Alice?" I give her a side glance.
"Oh Bella relax." And she skips away.
Alright, you annoying little pixie, what did you do?
"She did nothing love." Edward walks up to me.
"My shield was up how did you…"
"I have gotten used to reading you face." He sounds so proud of himself. "And I heard what Alice said and I knew what your response would be." I let a half smile appear on my face.
"I have to step out for a bit love, I'll see you soon."
"Ok well hurry back to me."
He kisses me and leaves. I go back to a mental meltdown of sorts.
A while later Alice is back.
"Bella I don't like to see you like this talk to me I know it's more than your father."
"Alice you don't want to know, trust me."
"Bella, you are my sister and my best friend I want to know everything that makes you unhappy." She was never going to let this go... So with a sigh I started to tell her.
"Alice we are leaving soon and I will miss my father, but I also will miss Jake. I know you guys don't care for him but I would just, at least like to talk to him one time before we leave."
"So call him Bella."
"Alice you know he won't answer I'm a "bloodsucker" now." I used air quotes to emphasize the word bloodsucker.
"Well your choice Bella." She walks away. I hate it when she is cryptic.
EPOV
I knew Bella was worrying about her father, but I couldn't help wonder what else there was, I could feel it, and whatever it is, it is making her pull away. I am not going to have that. I know I am going to have to fix this. I know Bella is against him becoming like us but she hasn't said anything about him living with us as a human and she could protect him with her shield. I know she wouldn't mind that. I need to speak with Carlisle.
I arrive at the hospital just as his shift is ending. I run my plan by him to get his thoughts on it and waite as he thought about it.
"We need to speak to Charlie about this and if he can handle this then I don't see why not, I'm sure Bella would love it." Carlisle agreed.
We talk to Charlie, filling him in. He agreed he would live with us and took the secret a lot like Bella did. The organizing began.
"I'll be packed by tonight and I switch the house to Bella's name in the morning."
I broke in to make sure he understood.
"You know we will never be back in the rest of the time you're alive, so you should say your goodbyes now as well."
"As long as I have my daughter I need nothing or nobody else. There are no goodbyes needed." He is so certain for a human, I see where Bella got it.
"Okay then." I bow my head. "Bella has no idea of this plan yet so when you see her, you will see her in turmoil please try not to be upset. She worries about you, that's why we would like you to stay with us. Now that you know our secret you will never be able to be alone again, for you safety. The Volturi will kill you, as well as us, for your knowledge. Please understand.
"I can do that no problem, will Bella be home tonight?" he is lit up with so much excitement.
"Yes she is waiting for me as we speak. We should go."
My phone buzzed. I look at it and sigh.
"Who is it son?"
"Alice." I roll my eyes.
I did not worry about Bella much anymore she could take care of herself. Poor Jasper and Emmet knew that.
"Hello."
"Edward, Bella is unhappy."
"Yes Alice, I know, I'm working on that. Carlisle and I are with Charlie now."
"I know Edward it's not just Charlie," there is a pause "its Jacob Black too."
"Oh so Bella wants a pet now."I joke.
Carlisle caught on quick and is giving a semi-scolding look but chuckled lightly. Charlie is just confused.
"I'll call Jacob and see what I can do but please keep it quiet, I don't want her hopes up, oh and prepare Rose for a dog please."
"Are you going to be okay if he accepts?"
"If Bella is happy than so am I, I have to do this for her, she needs this."
"But…"
"Alice!" I growl.
"Ok I understand. Bye."
"Thank-you. Good bye."
I hang up, take a deep breath, and opened my phone again only to have my father stop me for a minute
"Edward, son it's not your secret to share and you will, if you talk about it here."
I jerk a nod to my father.
"Please stay with him."
"Of course."
I pause then look at my father.
"Are you ok with this? A…" I look at Charlie; he is absorbing just like Bella. I look back to Carlisle. "A pet I mean."
He chuckles "You'll have to learn to play nice."
"I know but Bella needs him so I have no choice."
"Then do what you must do but do it outside."
I am dialling while I walk out it took one ring and Jacobs voice was on the line.
"Bloodsucker?" I rolled my eyes and responded with a smirk.
"Bella wants a pet, dog, we leave at the end of the week, interested?"
It's quiet for a minute.
"You want me to live with you? Why?" I could tell this is unexpected, so I explain what is going on.
"Bella misses you and I think it would be a nice surprise for her to know she can have her best friend in her life no matter where we go. Jacob she is the same except, I think she could take you now." I joke.
"She wants me around?" again he sounded shocked. "You know I'll keep phasing right?"
"Is that a yes?"
"Umm."
"I don't know about you Jake but I can but I can be a good man for my wife, and if it means being your friend then I will." I let my voice drop with challenge
"I can to but what about Charlie."
"Well that's the other thing Charlie will be with us too. So if you are going to be with us you need to reveal your secret to him, just as we did, you'll see he handles it as well as Bella did. He has already decided to join us, living with us until his life ends. He will stay human, Jacob.
"I'll be there in two minutes." The line went dead.
I wait outside for Jacob to get here. It doesn't take long; when he arrives we go inside together. Jake's child likeness makes me shake my head with a huff and a grin.
"Ok Charlie there is more you need to know before we continue with this." I look at Jacob and back to Charlie. "Jacob will be joining us, it will make Bella happy, but Jake has a secret to tell you as well."
"Holy shit Jake you're a vampire too!" his eyes widen causing Carlisle and I laughed.
"No way, I'm way better… I'm a werewolf." Charlie lowers himself into a nearby chair and is quiet for a minute.
"And Bella knows this?"
"Yes." We all answered together.
"Ok, well if she is ok with it than so am I." he squares his shoulders as he stands up. We helped him pack as Jake goes home to explain and pack himself. About 3 hours later we where all getting into our cars and heading to my house. I couldn't wait to see Bella happy again.
"Charlie, you need to know Bella is one of us now. She made this choice all on her own."
"I know, I figured it out when you told me what you are. Bella loves you so much I suppose I'm not surprised."
"Your not mad?"
"No, Bella has always had a good head on her shoulders she knows what she wants and will do what ever it takes to get it."
I smile to myself remembering poor Jasper. The ride is quiet the rest of the way, there is nothing left to say.
I walk in with Charlie first and Bella comes to hug him as usual.
BPOV
Edward walks in and I thought I could smell a hint of wolf on him, but I let it go because my father is with him. I go up and hugged my father.
"Daddy, I assume Edward told you we were leaving soon."
"Yes Bells weare leaving soon." I don't miss the change in tone when he said "we"
"We?" I cock my head to the side.
"Yes Bells honey, I'm coming with you."
I gear up to protest as Edward brakes in.
"Relax Bella, he will be staying human."
"But you'll have to protect me as long as I'm alive, you ok with that." As his smile reached his eyes I saw every wrinkle, I had to smile back.
"For the rest of your life dad I love you." I hug him as tight as I can without killing him.
"Bella love, there is one more thing."
I turn to face Edward, my arm still around my dad.
"What else can you give me, Edward?"
"Well I thought you would like a pet for company at times too." He smirks.
Then the heart beat hit me.
"JAKE!"I run through the door to him. I hug him so tight he has to pull away for air.
"Jake your coming too?" With so much excitement in my body I let down my shield, I know Jasper would appreciate it.
"Yeah Bells, I heard you missed me and well," he shrugs "I thought I'd make a good "Girls best friend", unless you don't want me." He smirks as if to challenge me.
"Jacob Black you leave m e again I will hunt you down a choke the life right out of you."
"Ok I'll stay." He smiles as he lifted his hands in surrender.
I spin around and leap to the porch in one swift motion and kiss my husband. He did this, and because of him life can't get any better.
"Thank you Edward. I love you so much. I know this was and will be hard for you."
"No love, seeing my wife unhappy forever was going to be hard. Now I'm pleased to see you pleased."
I don't think there was ever a vampire, or being of any kind, that is as happy as I am… forever.
