AUTHOR'S NOTE: Alright, if you're reading this, you have reached the last chapter of Here Comes the Sun. This is the finale, and there are a few quick things you should know before reading. 1) This is in Jacob's perspective. From the beginning of this fanfiction, I've desperately wanted to write in his perspective, and now, I finally am able to because I think that this chapter wouldn't be as…significant otherwise. 2) This chapter takes place when Bella is now in La Push, and this chapter is on Jacob's 16th birthday, which is when Jake will officially find out if Bella is the one he will imprint on. 3) I love you all; thank you so much for reading my fanfiction, you have no clue how much this has meant to me.

END OF AUTHOR'S NOTE: TIME TO READ

Today was the day. The day when I discovered whether or not Bella and I would be together, or if we'd be broken.

Happy freaking sixteenth birthday. No pressure or anything.

I sighed and went to my closet to pick something out. It had gotten freakishly cold in Washington for February, so I chose a red flannel shirt that Bella had picked out for me in the mall on our four month anniversary. She had been ecstatic to get it for me, although I didn't understand why, but then again, that was my Bells. She was silly and quirky, but she was mine. Well, she would be if things went as I hoped. I pulled on a pair of jeans with the shirt and stuffed my feet into a pair of sneakers before going to the kitchen for breakfast. Dad had made my favorite breakfast, which was a fried egg sandwich with bacon. Simple, but delicious.

"Happy birthday, son." He greeted me, a big smile on his face. I ate my sandwich, trying not to focus on the fact that by the end of today, both Bella and I could be heartbroken if I didn't, in fact, imprint on her. He noticed my tension and sighed. "Jake," he said quietly, "No matter what happens today, everything will be okay. You realize that, right?" I kept my eyes on the sandwich. He shook his head. "Is Bella coming to pick you up this morning?"

"No," I answered. "We didn't want to take the chance that she might not be the one and have us both upset. We wanted to wait until school started." She and I had spent countless hours talking about it; both equally worried and hoping that we wouldn't have to deal with depression in case I didn't imprint. No matter what happened, I knew that I loved her. But, I wasn't sure if that was strong enough to uphold an imprint. I'd seen what had happened between Emily, Sam and Leah, and I sure as hell didn't want it to happen with me and Bella. I finished my breakfast and got up. "Guess I better catch the bus," I said awkwardly, running a hand through my hair. "See you later." Billy rested his hand on my shoulder.

"It'll be okay, Jake" he said. "Everything happens for a reason." I nodded and took a heavy breath.

I made it to the bus stop with seconds to spare, and made my way to an empty seat on the crowded bus. Most of the kids here were freshmen and sophomores; there were few juniors or seniors, but there were a few seats here and there. As the bus puttered to school, my mind drifted away and I hoped and daydreamt about what would happen if Bells and I did imprint…and what would happen if we didn't. I shuddered at the thought of us not imprinting and took another deep breath. We finally got to the school, and I made my way to the place where Bells and I had agreed to meet with Embry, Quil, Sam, and Leah. All the guys would help me if I needed it, and Leah and Bella had already agreed to go off and calm down if we didn't imprint. Although, I don't know how calm either Bella or I would be if we didn't in fact fall even more deeply in love than we already were. I rounded the final corner to the corridor and saw Bella's back to me talking to Leah while Quil and Embry looked at me. Leah went silent when she saw me, and I inhaled sharply. It was now or never.

"Bella?" I asked hesitantly, and she turned around.

She was gorgeous. Absolutely stunning and heart-breakingly beautiful. Her big brown eyes blinked tentatively and I saw fear in them; fear of being rejected, fear of being broken, fear of…losing me. Her ivory skin was paler than usual but she was still the most surreal thing I had ever seen. The rest of the universe went missing and I concentrated entirely on her. She was my everything and more. All the worry I had had about not imprinting on her seemed juvenile; how could I not imprint on my wonderful Bella whose smile lit up the entire world and whose life was completely intertwined in mine?

She was mine, and I was hers. We were imprinted now, and bonded for as long as we lived, and I wanted to whoop with exalted jubilation, crush her to me, and kiss her for as long as possible; all at once. A smile of relief appeared on her striking face as soon as she realized what I had just realized myself.

We would always be together.

She ran to me, burrowing into my arms; fitting into them perfectly. I heard her crying, and tipped her chin up to me so I could see her expression.

"Why are you crying?" I whispered, looking into her lovely eyes. She blinked.

"Because…I was so worried," she said quietly, "So worried that you wouldn't…that we wouldn't…" She couldn't finish, and I held her closer to me.

"Well I did," I answered. "And we are. So there's nothing to cry about, is there?" I smiled at her and a symmetrical smile appeared on her face.

"Yes." She said, tears still running down her face. "Yes we are." I kissed the tears off of her face and then kissed her on the lips. "I love you." She said softly; her voice filled with more emotion than I had ever heard.

"I love you too." I said in response. "And I always will." She wrapped her arms around me.

"Thank god for that." She whispered. I tilted her head up and took another kiss; one of our millions to come during the rest of our lives.

The End.
