So here's the final instalment for this story! Man, it's been about two years or so and I've only got 12 chapters to prove my work. Oh well, can't blame anyone but myself.
Anyway, Stephenie Meyers own Twilight. I just own this fanfic story. Nothing special. Enjoy! :)
Ch. 12
30 years later…
"Becky, hurry up or we're going to be late!" Edward yelled from downstairs as I came down. I shook my head at that girl. 30 years after she came into this family and she still acts like a child, even though she is now forever more a 16 year-old. When she had reached 16, her powers became complete and she became full gideion.
So maybe I should recap on the last couple decades, huh? Well let's see… Edward and I got married and so did Selena and Jake, Edward and I adopted Rebecca as our daughter, Selena and Jake had a little boy that they named Alex and he grew up to become half werewolf- half gideion. Not to mention, he grew up so fast that he looked like he was a seventeen year old boy by the time he was actually three! Confusing, I know but that's how it went. Let's see what else? Oh, Alex wound up imprinting on Rebecca, and they eventually got married.
And that whole mess with that nomad and the venom deal? Well, my family and I thought it was best and we decided to tell the Volturi about it. Turns out that the vampire I killed was actually trying to create an army for his sire to take control of the vampire world, and he'd been searching for gideions for decades. The Volturi eventually found the sire and destroyed him. Luckily, he hadn't been able to complete his little 'project'.
"Coming!" Becky yelled as she came running down the stairs with Alex in tow.
"Come on you two!" Jake added. "I'd like to not be a granddad just yet, if you don't mind." That comment got him a cherry tomato-red blush from the two teens and a slap upside the head from Selena. "Ow! What was that for?"
"You didn't have to say anything like that to them!" she hissed. "Alex, pay no attention to your father, understand? He's just acting like a little kid. Well, not that there's much acting involved."
"Oh really?" I knew what Jake was planning before it even happened. I had just enough time to dodge from Selena's side before he jumped at her and began to tickle her.
"Cut it out you guys," Edward chuckled as he came up behind me and wrapped me in his embrace. "We've got to go."

Edward's POV
'Check out the new kids. The blonde's got a nice ass, but she looks like she's a total bitch. The brunette and the redhead are hot. I'd like to get a piece of that…' I let out a low growl as the boy's mind became more vulgar with each passing second. He was talking about my wife and daughter after all.
'They look like they should be movie stars or something. I heard the father adopted them all and preformed plastic surgery on them all.'
"Is everything ok Dad?" Rebecca whispered in a voice too low for these humans to hear. I shook my head no. I felt Bella's hand slip into mine, and I attempted to give her a small smile and gently squeeze her hand.
Apart from the thoughts about my family, some far more vulgar than I wanted to hear, the day had gone fairly well. The only thing that I had difficulty with was the vulgar mental comments made at my wife and daughter, but what can you do?
After we got home, I stomped my way up the stairs to mine and Bella's room, grabbed the remote and turned on the stereo. The calming tune of Debussy's Claire de Lune came out of the hidden speakers, sending a calming feeling through me.
"Knock, knock," Bella said as she knocked on the door.
"You know you don't have to knock to come into your own room, right?" I asked as I walked towards her and gathered her in my arms.
"Yeah, I know…but it's still proper to do knock when you know someone else is in said room and you're not sure if said person wants to be alone or not."
"I always want you around love," I said as I kissed her hair. "I just was a little miffed is all."
"Show me," she insisted. I looked down at her and she rested her hand on my cheek. I felt her power slowly seep into my skin and I concentrated on what I had been put through today. All the different fantasies that people had of me and my family, the annoying feeling of frustration as they thought of putting themselves in our close-knit family, and the thoughts of how either Bella wasn't good enough for me or how I wasn't good enough for her. I found myself thinking that the latter of the two was truer.
"Edward, how could you think that?" Oops, looks like I forgot to block that. "Edward, I could never see myself with anyone else! I love you and only you. Is that understood?" Before I could even answer on that, she immediately pulled me down to her lips and kissed me with a passion that most people could only dream of. I could do nothing else except return it with all the love in my heart.
Let's just say that Esme had a lot of renovation to do after we were done in our room. Not to mention that Emmett had constantly annoyed us for the rest of the week.
So the rest of the week had gone by without any more problems. Sure, people were still gossiping about us, but that was the norm for my family and me, so it never really bothered me. That is, until Friday afternoon.
I had just finished with my Spanish class- one of the only classes that I didn't get to spend with Bella- and I was walking out to the car. When I saw Bella standing there, I jogged a little faster, but came to a stop when I saw one of the humans going up to her. Even though I was on the other side of the busy parking lot, I could still see Bella's distraught face perfectly as well as hear everything clearly.
"Hey there. I'm Steve- Steve Michaels. You're Bella, right?" the young boy asked. His last name reminded me of the over-obsessed boy Mike Newton, and this one looked a lot like him. Perhaps he was a descendant. Bella nodded her head curtly, signaling that she wasn't interested, but he didn't get the hint.
"So anyway, I was wondering if you'd like to hang out some time. I mean- maybe you'd want to go on a date or something. I mean-" he kept babbling like some sort of fool, thinking that Bella would find it cute.
"Is there something I can help you with?" I asked as politely as I could. I knew Bella would hate it if I was too possessive over her.
'Look at this guy. What's so special about him? I can so take this girl from him. Not a challenge! Brad's gonna owe me a hundred bucks.' So that's what this was about- a bet. I looked over his shoulder at Bella to see her glaring daggers at the back of Steve's head. Looks like she heard his thoughts too.
"Actually honey, this loser was just leaving," she answered as she stepped around him and wrapped her arm around my waist. I smiled at her as my arm snaked itself around her shoulders. When I looked back at Steve, he was furious.
"Guess I'll see you around," he snarled before stomping off. 'She's not even worth it anyway. Besides, that Becky girl is so hotter than that bitch.' The only thing that kept me from going after him and tearing off his head was Bella.
"Relax Edward. You know Alex will take care of him," she sneered as she pulled me to the car.
,:~:,
So that's what happened. After Steve had tried to ask Rebecca out on a date, Alex nearly punched him to a bloody pulp, getting himself suspended for three days. But at least it kept Steve away from my family. Nothing else came around and bothered us. No vengeful vampires, no Volturi- nothing.
"Surprise!" Bella cheered as she fell from the tree directly above me and pushed Jasper face first into the ground. "Oh come on you guys! If you want to learn to fight like my family and I, you've got to keep focus!"
"Yeah, but why pick on me?" Jasper said as he spat out the wad of dirt from his mouth as he sat up. Bella had already beat up Emmett and her twin brothers- who were all resting against one of the boulders.
"Because you're the most experienced with fighting, Mr. Sergeant Whitlock," Bella laughed as she jumped away and ran off north. I just grinned before following after her. I heard Rebecca muter, "Oh boy, they're at it again," and Emmett roared with laughter. Life was good.
