Bella Comes Home
Epilogue
9 Years Later
BPOV
Here we were, getting ready to celebrate Elise's 10th birthday, she was now a tween and man she was so like Alice it wasn't funny, she had to have a Hannah Montana birthday party and was upset when we couldn't get the real Miley Cyrus to come for her birthday "But , Aunt Alice knows lots of famous people and grandma and grandpa have tons of money and so do you and daddy, why can't I have Miley???" she stomped off to her room slamming the door.
"Damn Alice for making her so fucking materialistic! She only wear designer clothes, heaven forbid you buy a shirt from fucking Wal-Mart, I'm grounding her after the party, this is going to stop!" Edward was yelling.
"Honey, calm down, she's a bundle of hormones, she's hit puberty Edward." I sighed.
"Ugghh, I don't want to think of the Bells." he growled.
"Well, sorry, you're going to have to think about it sooner or later. You're a doctor for crying out loud!" I laughed.
"Why is she so damned stubborn?" he asked, pinching the bridge of his nose.
I looked at him and laughed "Are you serious? Have you not met us?"
He sighed and shook his head "Fine, I'll let it go for now. Do you think she'll like our surprise?"
"Um, yeah her and 5 of her closest friends, duh!" I said like a 10 year old.
He laughed and pulled me in for a kiss. Right about then, our 7 ½ year old came running up screaming and a fuming Elise after him. "Mom! He was reading my diary! He said he was going to tell Jackson that I want to kiss him at my party!" she was screaming.
"Edward Anthony, our room now!" I stated.
I had a talk with him and reading Elise's personal items and that he shouldn't even go into her room with out her permission. He was to not bother his sister the rest of the day and Emmett, Jr. was coming over and they could play in the game room all afternoon on the game systems if they stayed out of Elise's hair.
He smiled and promised and then apologized for reading her stuff, she glared at him and then hugged him, messing with his hair.
Everyone began to arrive, Edward and Jasper were manning the grills, Emmett was playing bartender, Rose, Alice and I sat down and were chatting about everything that's been going on.
"Mom! I want to wear a bra like the big girls!" Ashley whined to Alice. We all laughed and Alice explained that it happens at different times for everyone and she was almost 2 years younger than Elsie as well.
"Mom! Robert and Edward won't let me play with them and that's not fair. I can beat their ass anyday…"
"Nikki Elizabeth! You do not use that language, do you understand me!" Rose snapped.
"Yes ma'am." Nikki said rolling her eyes and smiling.
I took Nikki to the game room and told the boys they need to let her play of they'd be forced outside with all the girly things and music.
They apologized to Nikki and added an extra controller to the Wii.
"Rose, she is just like you!" I giggled. "She is not a normal 6 year old." I laughed.
Alice sighed and said her and Jasper had went for fertility testing and found out that she can't conceive anymore. "I was sad at first, I cried for a week, I didn't want you guys to know, but figured I finally needed to tell you guys. I just feel kind of jealous. I mean Jesus Bells, do you know the word C.O.N.D.O.M.! I mean come on little Taylor is barely 2 and you're pregnant again, with twins!!! Come On!!! And Rose, you've got 2 beautiful children. I think Jasper and I are going to do Foster Parenting or Adoption, there are so many kids who don't have good loving homes to go to." Alice smiled.
"Well, if it makes you feel better Alice, Edward is getting snipped after this." I winked.
They burst out laughing.
"What's so funny ladies?" Edward leaned down and handed me a water. "You need to stay hydrated love." he kissed my temple.
Rose and Alice both said "snip, snip" and laughed.
"Hell Bella, why'd you tell them, now I'll feel less like a man!" he pouted and stalked away.
We all giggled and sat there until the food was done.
Edward brought me my burger the way I'd been craving it, I liked it well done, on a Kiser roll, with peanut butter, mustard, lettuce and pickles. Rose and Alice turned their noses up at my choice and I shrugged.
"These twins have me graving some weird shit, yesterday I wanted a Diet Coke with chocolate syrup. And I wanted Tuna Fish with crunched up Doritos's in it with extra mustard." I smiled.
Emmett walked up at that time and made a gagging sound "Edward told me about your crazy shit Bell's, you're my sister, but that's just gross." I shrugged my shoulders and continued eating.
Jasper finally joined us "Edward, why don't you and Carlisle stop her from eating all this gross shit!" he snapped.
"Hey, you fight with a pregnant woman, especially one with twins! Not doing it bro!" he smiled and kissed me.
"Bells, really, this is really gross, you're going to be 500 lbs. by the time you're done!" he snapped.
I threw my napkin at him and ate my burger in peace.
It was now time for the presents.
Elise squealed as she opened all her gifts.
She had received a Spa Day for her and 2 friends, the works, hair nails, toes and mini massage and light make up.
She got a tome of Hannah Montana and Jonas brothers crap, jewelry, hair stuff, Alice and Jasper were taking her to Paris for Spring Break, I think she was going to hyperventilate. Em and Rose got her a diamond necklace and matching earrings and Carlisle and Esme had bought the matching ring and bracelet. Charlie was taking her to Mall of America over Christmas break for 3 days and then finally our gift, Edward handed out ear plugs to the guys and I rolled my eyes. She opened up the envelop, looked at it and squealed, she showed it to her friends and there were more squeals. Esme and Carlisle looked at us in question, "What did you guys get her?" they asked.
"We got her and 5 friends tickets to the Hannah Montana show next month, in a limo! Edward also knew one of the people who run the stadium and they got us backstage passes as well." I smiled.
Ashley was still squealing, since Alice told her she was getting to go as well.
"I'm so glad Nikki isn't into that nightmare crap!" Rose smiled.
We had cake and a very happy daughter on our hands.
She apologized for the way she'd acted earlier and said we were the best and coolest parents ever.
We had wonderful family and friends and beautiful children.
Everyone was healthy and we were all in good places in our lives.
Alice and Jasper ended up Fostering an 11 year old girl, her, Elise and Ashley got along very well, she had some anger issues, but they had her in therapy and gave her constant praise, to help her. She fell in love with Alice and loved to shop just as much, they bonded well, they were hoping she'd be put up for adoption soon, they wanted her badly, she even called them mom and dad.
Emmett and Rose had their 2 beautiful children, Nikki was the spitting image and attitude of Rose, her and Emmett, Jr. fought all the time.
As for Edward and I we had Elise, Edward Anthony, Kristen and our 2 new bundles of joy Carlie, my baby girl (named from Carlisle and Charlie) and Reme my baby boy (Renee and Esme).
They were night and day. She was calm and easy, he was loud and didn't like to sleep.
I was really glad I didn't have to work, I wouldn't be able to keep up.
Edward was a joy, he helped so much, when he'd have midnight shifts, he'd take care of the babies if they woke and during the day, he'd sleep in his music room, on the bed we'd had put in there, since it was sound proof and he could sleep.
We were so glad we'd bought this bigger house 2 years ago, everyone had there own rooms, Edward had his music room, our library was also his office, it had floor to ceiling bookcases all around, except for the huge picture window behind his desk. We also had a pool and basketball court. Yes, it was a mansion, I guess but we needed it with our brood and Edward hired a housekeeper to come and clean and do laundry 3 times a week.
He was now head of the hospital, since Carlisle retired.
Esme and Carlisle traveled a lot, they sold their house and we had a suite in our house for them, we'd made over the basement for them.
Charlie was still Chief of Police, but is going to retire next year, he'll have been with Forks P.D. for 45 years, being the oldest police chief at age 63 in Forks history.
Edward came and laid beside me and kissed my slowly flattening belly, stretch marks and all.
"Bella, if you'd told me in high school this would have been my life, I would have laughed. I can't believe we found our ways back to each other, I am thankful everyday for you and our beautiful children, I couldn't ask for more." he kissed my head and sighed.
"Edward. I am so happy with all the chaos, I wouldn't change it for anything. I love you and your graying hair more than ever." I kissed his graying temple and fell asleep, knowing that I had everything I'd ever wanted and more.
The End
