A/N: Yay its almost the end of this book then I can start posting the next one, I actually have an unexplainable excitment regarding that book. OMG it was snowing yesterday here in Cape Town. That might seem unremarkable and it is but I've never seen snow so share my excitment lol. Enjoy ;)
22. Seven years later.
Megan P. O. V
"Ellery, how about we go hunting before aunty Ness and uncle Jake get back?" I called upstairs to her room.
Ellery was fully grown now, she stopped aging last year. She was extremely beautiful, even by vampire standards. Her soft, silky golden hair now reached her waist in slight waves. Her eyes a bright turquoise blue. She was often shy and quiet. She still loved reading huge books and hung out mostly in Carlisle's study at the main house.
Esme had built us a small cottage not far from my parents house. Edward and Bella were back in their old house but had gone on a holiday to a new private island. Alice and Jasper were on holiday in Asia for three months and Brandon had gone to study palaeontology in Africa, everyone would be home though by Christmas which was only three days away.
Nessie had gone off to University to New York, she was a double major in Biology and History. Jake had gone with her to the disappointment of her father.
I didn't really have plans for University so far but I would go someday.
Ellery came down the stairs, she wasn't as rebellious as I had been, thank god for that. She was pretty mellow.
Today we went a little farther out nearer to the mountains, we could both smell a mountain lion each, two females on either side of the mountain. We went to the first one, I let her have it. She sprung lightly on to its back and was over in seconds, she was extremely fast, even I could barely see her actually drinking. We went after the next one which I took down. After the lions we got the scent of a herd of Elk farther north.
As we got closer to the herd I felt something following us. I tried to get the scent but couldn't really match it, something in my mind stirred.
It was getting closer, in a few seconds it would be by us.
"Ellery go hide." I whispered to her.
"Why? I'm fully grown and grandpa taught me how to fight." She asked her eyebrows narrowing.
"Go hide now." I commanded.
She reluctantly obeyed and disappeared muttering "I'm too fast to catch anyway."
Three seconds...two seconds...one second...half a second and then someone flew through the snow-covered bushes.
My eyes focused on the face immediately and my heart nearly stopped. It started beating even faster than usual.
"Megan?" The intruder said. My eyes widened, this could not be real...I was dreaming.
Because there in front of me was Robert...alive, no burn mark, no headless corpse, it was Robert, flawless and whole.
I couldn't move, I was dead still, I didn't even breathe.
He came closer to me till he was right in front of me. He reached a hand to caress my face, just before it touched me I backed away fast. I turned and started running as fast as I could. I could smell Ellery in the forest running fifty meters away from me. He was following.
"Megan! It's me!" The imposter shouted, he was closing in on me fast.
Ellery snapped her head back to look at who was following and frowned, I hadn't actually shown her a picture of him, since every time he came up I changed the subject immediately.
He caught up to me quickly, he grabbed my arm, when I tried to pull it back he pulled me into his arms and held me to his chest. I could smell it was really him, tears streaming down my face.
"Megan it's really me." he whispered in my ear. I sobbed harder. He lifted my chin up so I could see into his eyes but I shut my eyes tightly.
"Megan look at me...please." He said softly.
My eyes slowly opened, the first thing I saw was the bright turquoise blue eyes, I was instantly lost.
I don't know how long after that, a minute, a day, a week, a year, he smiled and said, "You're lost again aren't you?" I couldn't take it anymore.
I don't know what made me do it, my body acted on its own. The next thing I knew was that a loud sound of a slap reverberated through the mountain.
"How dare you! How dare you come here! After all these years and you only bothered now? Expecting me to welcome you back after seven years!" I screamed, tears still streaming from my eyes.
"It's been seven years?" He asked surprised. I slapped him again.
"Megan I looked for you immediately after I woke up. A week ago." He said.
"A week ago? You just woke up one morning and decided to go look for your old girlfriend who thought you were dead for seven years, I thought I burnt you to ash, I didn't forgive myself for months! I still don't!" I shouted.
"Megan the last thing I remember was that I felt a sharp pain in my neck, the next thing I knew I was lying in a cave in Russia and it took me A week to get back here.
"You...don't know? How much time has passed?" I asked.
"No." He said then jumped back a few feet pulling me behind him when he heard a rustle a few feet ahead of us. I saw a bright blue eye looking at us from behind a tree.
"Ellery come here." I said coming out from behind Robert. He frowned.
"Who's this?" He asked as she crept forward silently.
"Another adopted..." He trailed off as he looked at Ellery, as he looked in her eyes, his own eyes.
"When...?" He asked.
"Seven years ago, she's my-our daughter." I said.
"Our?" He asked, his voice cracking. "What's her name?" He stuttered.
"Ellery Renée Cullen." I said.
"Ellery..." He murmured.
She stared at him, she didn't look surprised, she hid her emotions very well so it was impossible to tell how she felt.
"Ellery...this...this is your father." I said another wave of tears welled up in my eyes.
"My...father?" She asked softly. "My father is dead..." She said her eyes narrowed slightly.
"It turns out he wasn't...I don't know how but he's alive." I said, my voice cracking, my tears spilled over my eyes and fell down my face onto the snow.
"How...?"
"I don't know, someone must have saved him."
Robert was still staring at Ellery. His eyes wide.
He took a step towards her, startled by his sudden movement she went several back. She looked at me and I nodded. She started walking slowly towards him.
When she got to him she smiled a little at him. He then threw his arms around her.
The hugged each other for a while. I don't know how long. Next thing I knew Robert had grabbed me into his arms and was kissing me... this was too good to be true.
We got back to the main house about an hour later, my parents and grandparents were there as well as Edward and Bella.
When they saw Robert they tensed up thinking it was an imposter but Edward confirmed it was really him.
Everybody watched Ellery and I from the corner of their eyes.
At around seven Nessie and Jacob arrived with some surprising news.
"We got married!" Renesmee announced as we sat in the living room.
"What?!" Edward shouted and he stood up.
"And I'm pregnant!" She said, ignoring her fathers glare.
The room was silent, everyone was tensed for Edwards reaction. He had a dark look on his face, you could see he wanted to kill Jacob slowly. Very slowly.
"Everyone please leave the... um house for a while." Bella said, you could see she didn't know what to feel.
We all left as soon as we stepped out of the house we heard Edward shouting. We didn't go far, still within earshot of the house Edward was shouting at Jacob and Renesmee was screaming at Edward. Bella was trying to calm Edward down and Jacob was trying to calm Nessie down earning him a couple of more shouts from Edward.
After about an hour the argument died down, Edward stormed angrily from the house into the forest and Bella followed him. We went slowly back into the house, Nessie was in the living room with Jacob, she was smiling. She didn't seem at all like she just had a major argument with her father.
"How far along are you?" I asked sitting next to her.
"About a month and half, the baby's growing slowly so its most probably human." She said rubbing her stomach, it was still very small only if you looked really closely it showed slightly.
"What about your university, don't you still have a year to do?" I asked.
"Actually I finished with this years graduates, I skipped a year." She smiled, I don't know if it was the fact that she was pregnant or just really happy but she was glowing slightly without the sun. Almost as if she was so happy her aura was visible.
"So if the baby is human you'll be due by next August." Carlisle said.
"How did you find out?" Ellery asked, she was standing by the door way, her arms behind her.
"I took a pregnancy test a few weeks ago, I don't know what made me though, I didn't have morning sickness. I was just in the supermarket and saw the tests and decided to buy them." She said.
"When did you get married?" I asked.
"Well about a month after I graduated Jacob proposed to me, then a week later I told him I didn't really want a big wedding so he took me to Vegas and we got married in one of those chapels. We spent the rest of the time in Europe in London and France.
"You got married in VEGAS?!" Alice screamed. She had arrived with Jasper an hour ago.
"Yeah, sorry Alice I didn't want a big wedding. But Megan's got Robert again and their bound to get married." She said, way to put the bull's eye on me Renesmee.
"I am giving you a wedding, January, the ninth." She said putting her hands on her hips.
"Sorry Alice, but no. Thats my final answer." She said and stood up.
Alice looked angry.
"Renesmee plea-"
"Alice, I don't want one, you can prepare one if you want to but I'm not going to be on that altar. Now we've got to go, we have to go say hey to the wolves." She said smiling at everyone, she took Jacob's hand and left.
A/N: So how was that chapter? Was it good I brought Robert back? Was it bad? I will most likely explain how he came back in the next book, since I'm done with this one already and if I put it in I'd have to change everything and I'm lazy so :p. Anyway your thoughts are much appriciated!
