Chapter 77

Epilogue

Ten years later

Feeling the sweat dripping down me, I know I can't relax. Keeping my left hand up guarding my face, my right, the one I normally use is out of commission.

Hearing the faint breath behind me, I turn just in time to block a hit. Fuck, this would be so much easier if I could fucking see. Slowing my breathing down more I know this has gone on for almost two hours and needs to end now. Turning quickly, I swing the wooden stick. As he blocks it, I drop to the ground to kick his leg, but the fucker jumps my swipe and is on top of me, holding his hand on my throat.

"Fuck, you win," I yell tapping Jake's leg.

"You almost had me," he says sounding a little out of breath.

Letting out a snort I take off my blindfold, and lie on the ground.

"One of these days, I will beat you."

"Oh, sugar daddy, we both know that's not likely," he hums. "Come on, let's get our kiddies."

Rolling my eyes, I get myself up to stand.

"The last time you said that everyone around us thought we were the gay version of the Brady Bunch."

Jake just chuckles. "Their faces were great, so funny."

Shaking my head, but unable to hold my own laughter. He's right it was a little funny. It's hard to believe that ten years have passed since Bella and I got married. It's gone by fast, because we've been on the go. So much has changed its kept us on our toes.

Bella and I had only been married a month when Heidi and Bill got married. After being in love for almost twenty years, they just wanted to be happy. The next month Jake came to me with a new gun design. It turns out the one Heidi didn't carry was because guns were boring and not a nice color. To say I was shocked as I stood looking at a Glock with a bedazzled handle is an understatement. What didn't shock me was my sister wanting one. In fact all the girls asked for one, and now they all own a bedazzled gun. Jokingly, I said next they would be asking for Hello Kitty stamped on the bottom of their bullets. When all their faces lit up I walked out of the room shaking my head.

Bella had entered her seventh month when Garrett and Kate got married, and they were quickly followed by Alec and Tanya. To my surprise, Tanya had a small family wedding, nothing big. I'm now ashamed to say I thought it was because she was pregnant and just wanted a quick wedding to keep Alec. Over the years, I have realized that Tanya is a real sweetheart, and just lost her way because of what Royce did to her. She was raped at such a tender age, that she didn't see that love and sex came hand in hand. For her it was years of sex meant gaining power, and she had to have the power. It was a way to keep her and not get lost in the torment of what Royce did to her. It took some real loving her to show her the way.

It was during the meal after Tanya and Alec got married that Bella went into labor. It took sixteen hours for our son Anthony Charles to arrive.

Bella and I spent the first two days alone; well alone besides Jake, that is, with Anthony. On the third day the whole family came to meet him. Of course, Tony was very happy to tell everyone that we named our baby after him.

Things seemed to stay the same for a few months, and then Emmett and Rose got married. Their wedding was quickly followed by Garrett and Kate telling everyone that they were pregnant. Tanya and Alec's daughter April came first, then Garrett and Kate had little Bret.

On Anthony's first birthday, Charlie surprised us all by telling us he was engaged. We all gasped like fish out of water when Maria walked in clasping his hand. It was funny when she turned to Jasper smiling and told him she was his new mommy. Jasper stood there just looking around the room before leaving to come back a few minutes later and look at everyone again.

It took only a few months for everyone, except Jasper, to see that Charlie and Maria were happy and in love. They really do make a great couple, and Charlie couldn't wait to get Maria down to the chapel. Jake and Felix got married followed by Jane and Matt, only Matt changed his name to Volturi, not wanting any link to the Kings.

The following year was busy not only had Bella and I taken over the running of the mafia family, but we were also dealing with our businesses and raising our son.

That year, Rose and Emmett had their daughter Sophie. During the delivery, Rose became ill, and was rushed to the ICU. She later had to have a hysterectomy. The doctor believed that she still had some damage left behind from what Royce did to her. It just made me want to hurt the fucker all over again. The whole family was heartbroken for Rose, but she told all of us that she had her daughter, her soul mate, and her family, and she was still here—alive—and that's what mattered.

Things seemed to have quieted down until Anthony turned three. Suddenly Tanya, Kate, Bella, Jane, Alice and Jake all announced they were pregnant. The only one we took a double take on was with Alice. It was not surprising knowing that the girls all wanted another baby, and Jake and Felix wanted theirs first, but Alice had never said anything, and I had always believed that she didn't want a baby without marriage.

Kate had another boy, Craig, Tanya was next with Pepper, then Jane with Bethany, then Jake and Felix who had twin girls, Bella-Rose and Billie-Jean, one belonging to each of them. Bella was next with our second son, Cole Carlisle, and Alice went into labor two weeks later. She was in labor for two days before her son Peter came.

We all sat around the bed and welcomed Peter Dean Swan, into the world. When Alice piped up that his name was Peter Dean Masen-Cullen, not Swan, I thought Jasper would lose it. Jasper stood quickly and asked her why, and she told him there was no way she was having a different name from her son. Jasper told her she could just change her name that it wouldn't cost too much.

Alice shook her head and told him she believed that one should only change their name when they get married, and since he made it clear he didn't want to marry her, then all of their children will be Masen-Cullens.

Having to bite my lip to hide my grin, I don't think I had ever been more proud of Alice as I was in that one moment.

The next two years passed quickly but smoothly. We had a few run-ins with some families trying to take us on, but they were quickly put in their places. Then there was the police, who were starting to snoop, but having Charlie on our side helped. He gave us a clear way or knowledge of how to get around what they were looking for.

At the end of the sixth year, and on Anthony's sixth birthday, Bella gave birth to our daughter Cassandra.

It was a surprise baby for us, because she had only just finished being a surrogate for Rose and Emmett, who had a boy Jack, when she fell pregnant almost right away afterward.

The children laughing brings me out of my inner thoughts. Standing at the door, I look to see Tony who has become all the children's' favorite grandpa.

"So, Uncle Marcus was standing there going like this," Tony opens and closes his mouth making him look like a fish. "With sticky yellow mustard all down his face and shirt. He looked at me and said, 'You'," Tony says pointing his finger out looking mean, "are going to be fed to the fish'."

All the children gasp.

"But me being smarter and faster than him whipped my cane quickly and smacked him on the bottom, and then his head." Tony waves his cane around showing them.

"Marcus is going to hate that he's being made into the bad guy again," Jake says with a chuckle, but I nod at him. "But there's just something in the way he tells a story that has you almost reliving it right with him."

"I know – he has kept us entertained over the years."

"Maybe he'll keep the Brady Bunch entertained, tonight," Bella says and I turn opening my arms as she slides into them.

"Sweetheart, why aren't you at your rose garden? Not that I'm disappointed to have you here in my arms."

"Some asshole was dealing drugs, right there in front of my place. The kids were right there while it was going on. Worst thing of all is the dealers know, and they chose to fuck with us."

Looking at Jake, he bobs his head and gets on his phone right away.

"We'll take care of it," I say.

"Not without me; this one is mine."

Over the years, Bella has been more of a silent presence in our men's club, but there are times like this where she will not back down and stay away.

"I'll let Papi know," Jake says as he walks away to call Aro. He is currently with my parents getting his yearly check-up on his liver.

Kissing Bella softly, I know that even after all these years she still hurts and worries about what happened to Sinatra's.

"Nothing's going to happen to Ren's," I tell her and she just nods.

"Not just that, they know who we are yet they do that shit, there in front of little kids," Bella yells a little.

Looking behind me I see some of the kids look our way, and I wave at our three, but thankfully Tony pulls them back in.

"We'll make sure they understand."

"Papi said he got the all clear everything is good, and they'll be back in ten, so we are clear to go."

The drive to Ren's rose garden is fast and the place is clear. This place means so much to me and to the family. Nearly everyone younger in the family has been married here. Just last year, Jasper surprised Alice by marrying her here, and I still think he did it that way so she couldn't say no. It's clear he loves her, any fool can see that, but I don't get why it took him eleven years and having five kids with her before he got his head out of his ass.

"Matt has picked them up and is on his way to the warehouse," Jake says and I bob my head.

We pull up soon after and I move out the car putting on my game face. Bella stands and looks mean as she, too, sports her game face. Hand in hand we walk into the warehouse together. Showing these twits that we are the Masen Volturi family and we're not to be fucked with.
