Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the final chapter of Heaven Sent (Psst don't worry, there's a futuretake in next weeks future!)

Thank you Pien, without you I would never have gotten this story out of my head. Fran, thank you for your trusty red pen (And blue) for making this as pretty as it is.

SM owns all.

I'll leave you to it.


Chapter 36 – Epilogue

Four years later

"Hmmm, Edward." Bella sighed as I held her tighter to me. I ran my hands over the feathers on her back as she wrapped her wings tighter around us. "Gods, that feels, so good."

"Mmmhmm," I groaned right back. "You always feel better than before."

I could hear our little one start moving around. I knew she'd be getting up early because today was her birthday and she was ever so excited.

I squeezed my hand in between us to rub on Bella's clit while also primping her feathers. It was a sure way to make her come and come quickly.

"Come, my beautiful girl," I whispered in her ear. It wasn't but a few seconds later that she tightened up around me and called my name as she came, and she pulled me right along with her.

I was kissing her lightly and letting her get her breath back when there was the pitter-patter of tiny feet and then a quiet knock on the door.

"Momma, Daddy. You dere? Today my birfday!"

Bella giggled as she climbed off my lap and donned one of my button-down shirts and some underwear while I pulled on some sleep pants as she opened the door.

"Is that right Miss Reggie? And just how old are you?" Bella asked as she picked up our girl and walked her over to the bed where I was.

"Uh huh!" Regina shouted. "I'm dis many!" she continued to shout while holding up her whole hand. Although, she was only three not five.

We both laughed as she continued to babble.

"I'm going to bathe her. Swap after your shower?"

"Of course Bella. See you soon." I placed a kiss on both of their foreheads as she walked out the door. I pulled myself up and out of bed then walked into our bathroom. While I washed myself, I was thinking about the day she was born.

Bella had been further along than she had anticipated and as such, the due date snuck up on us quickly. This was my third to last day helping the Volturi for a few months. I was taking a paternity leave of sorts.

Bella had been in 'nesting mode' the last few weeks, trying to get everything set up before our beautiful little girl came into the world. We'd found out at her twenty-four-week appointment that we were having the next Earth Angel in the line, and we couldn't be more proud.

Bella and I had settled on a name rather fast. We didn't want it to be a family one because it would be inevitable that we'd leave someone out unless she had one that was twenty names long.

The others in our family were upset because we wouldn't tell them what she was going to be, causing them to argue among themselves about it. That wasn't the only thing they spent her pregnancy arguing about – they wanted a family name.

On this particular day, however, we were in the middle of a meeting with a group of giants that were losing their land due to overpopulation. We were trying to sort out an answer to help them when my communication bracelet started playing music.

"Oh, excuse me a moment. My wife wouldn't call unless it were important."

The leader waved me away. He wasn't upset, his mate was quite domineering according to his thoughts.

I walked back into the castle to answer the call. The minute I pushed the button Bella started talking.

"Edward, Ed-ward. Home…now…labor… Call Dina…Get Granma…Mom!"

I froze, this wasn't supposed to be happening yet.

"Ed-ward. EDWARD! Can you hear me?"

I unfroze at the panic in her voice. "I'm here Bella. I'm coming. Just try to relax. I'll call everyone and be right there."

We were having a home birth because there was no way we could explain to hospital staff how Bella could immediately heal.

"O-o-okay. Ed-ward. Lo-ove you." She panted.

"I love you, too. I'm on my way."

I looked up at the door to the ballroom seeing Didyme already there. "I'm on my way. Go home Edward, I'll call everyone else. Get her comfortable on the bed with the rubber mat that we set up for her."

I nodded before bolting out the door and straight home. I hit the front door so hard that I almost took it off its hinges. "I'm here Bella. Where are you?"

"K-kitch-chen." She panted again.

I ran into the kitchen to see her hanging leaning against the island. "Oh, baby. Let's get you upstairs and onto the bed. Everyone is on their way."

I picked her up bridal style and carried her upstairs, taking care not to jostle her too much. It wasn't long after I got her settled that the ladies helping her descended on our home. I started out sitting next to her and getting anything she or they needed. It was nothing like watching it on the TV.

Bella was in labor for the next sixteen hours.

When it was time, Dina had me sit behind Bella to support her for when she was ready to push. She placed Didy and Renee on either side to hold her hands and also pull her legs up as she pushed.

Watching Bella in pain was an excruciating experience, but it coincided with my happiness at the reason she was in pain to begin with.

It took over two hours of pushing, but our little girl entered into the world declaring just how special she was with loud wails. Renee and Didyme carried her into our ensuite to clean her up while I helped Bella deliver her afterbirth with Dina. The whole time our little girl was screaming her lungs out, ensuring us all that she was healthy.

That was until they walked back into the bedroom and placed her in Bella's arms. The minute she was in her arms she started to settle down, but it was when Bella spoke that she stopped even her whimpers.

"Hush, little baby. Momma and Daddy are here. You're safe and warm and so, so loved." As Bella hummed a little lullaby to her.

I was so overwhelmed that I could do nothing more than wrap my arms around them both. She was the perfect blend of the two of us, she had my green eyes – or what looked like they would turn into my eyes and she had Bella's shade of mahogany hair. She was quite hairy for a newborn. She was the most beautiful child I'd ever seen.

I looked up to see that the others had left the room, so I opened my mind. They were still in the house, ready to help clean up and to prepare for everyone else.

Bella had just started to breastfeed as I found my voice. I reached up a hand and let my daughter – gosh that's wonderful to think – grab onto my finger. "Hello, Regina Anne, I'm your daddy and by the Gods, it's so good to finally meet you."

"Edward? Are you finished in the shower?" I heard Bella call.

I turned the tap off after rinsing the last of the soap. "Yes, love," I answered as I climbed out and wrapped a towel around my hips. Opening the door, I saw Bella standing there. "Where's Reggie?"

It took me a minute to figure out that she hadn't answered me as I'd walked to the dresser. I turned to see her checking me out as I had dropped the towel. "Bella!" I laughed. "Where's Reggie?"

"Oh." She laughed before poking out her tongue. "She's in her room waiting for Daddy to help pick out her clothes."

I nodded as she continued. "I'm going to jump in the shower and then start setting up for the party."

I walked over to give her a soft kiss. "Okay, love. I'll get her dressed then make breakfast. Make sure you take a break to eat. The others will be here soon."

She nodded as she walked into the bathroom, probably ignoring everything I just said.

I walked to Reggie's room and got her dressed in her 'pwetty dress' before taking her downstairs and preparing breakfast. Bella came running down, stopping long enough for a slice of toast, then was out the back door where I noticed some of the others had arrived and were setting up the backyard. We'd be converged on in no time.

We were in Volterra, celebrating this birthday because it was easier for the Angels to come to earth than it was to transport the vampires to Eden. We'd gotten special permission for a few of the younger Angels that were friends with Reggie to come down and party with her. But most of the people here would be family and Reggie's only cousin, Emmett and Rosalie's son, Luke Raphael McCarty. That was how he introduced himself at every opportunity, and it was hilarious.

Of course, due to his father's geeky nature and the fact that he was named after an Angel he earned the nickname Skywalker.

I'd just finished cleaning the kitchen when Gabriel walked into the room.

"Ah, Edward. Reduced to kitchen duty." He laughed.

I threw my dishtowel at him, laughing as he dodged it. "No, you ass. I was just cleaning up after breakfast. Is everyone here yet?"

He nodded. "Yup. I even have two very special guests for both you and your daughter, Edward. They've earned a holiday of sorts."

He stepped back to the door that separated the kitchen from the living room and opened it. There, standing on the other side were people I hadn't seen in person since our mating ceremony.

"Oh, my Gods. Mom, Dad." I used my natural speed to run over and wrap them both up in a hug so tight, I thought I would break them.

"Edward." They both sighed, hugging me back almost as tight. "It's so good to see you again."

Stepping back, I looked at them both. "I can't believe you're really here. Bella and Reggie are going to be so excited to see you."

Speak of the angels and they appear. Bella walked in through the back door as Reggie came in through the kitchen, both talking at the same time.

"Edward, have you seen…"

"Daddy, where's Momma?"

"OH MY GODS!" They both squealed at the same time. "Mom, Dad, Gamma, Poppa!"

Then they were all a tangle of loud, happy people that I couldn't help but get in the middle of. Wrapping them all up in my arms was the best feeling in the world.

It didn't take long for Reggie to take my parents and walk off with them. She wanted to show them everything in person that she has only ever been able to show them through the Soul Projector. It was a fantastic distraction to get everything else finished. Once that was done, the fun began.

We had bouncy castles, a small petting zoo with exotic animals and a piñata. There was cake and presents and of course, all the fun you had when the family got together. It was the absolute best kind of day and one we didn't have a lot of. Reggie got more things than she needed or could ever want but the best present was, of course, my parents being there in person.

Everyone helped to pack up before returning to their homes, or planes of existence, and then we were left just as our family of three.

Regina was bathed and in bed a few hours earlier than normal, because she had had so much fun. All the running and playing, and of course the requisite sugar crash, after all that goodness had tuckered her out.

We kissed our girl goodnight before pulling up the covers.

"Do you want a bath sweet girl?"

She looked up at me, also exhausted. "Yeah, baby that would be awesome. I'm just going to finish putting the food in the fridge. Don't start without me?"

"Never. Don't take too long."

She nodded while I went to run a bath. When she came in, we undressed each other before I climbed in and helped her sit between my legs. We were quiet for the most part, on occasion talking about the day or the excitement of seeing Elizabeth and Ed.

I washed her with careful strokes, just reveling in the quiet.

"Edward?"

"Yes, love?"

She turned a little to look at me. "Did you enjoy today? Do you enjoy our life?"

I pulled back a little to see if she was serious. I could tell that she wanted to know. "Of course, Bella. I am so happy with how things are. You and Reggie are the best thing to ever happen to me."

"That's good to know." She murmured.

"Why do you ask?"

"I wanted to make sure."

I'll admit I was confused, and she could tell from the look on my face.

"Are you ready to do it all over again?" she asked.


That's all she wrote...

I don't know if there's anything I can say here. I'm so emotional because this was the first step back into writing since my teens and having finished it ... there are no words. You guys have been the best and I couldn't have asked for better readers, I thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Let me know what you think, see you next week.
