The last chapter... i hope you all like it.
Chapter Eight Home at last
Bella opened her eyes, blinking lightly at the sun that came through the window as it shone in the room, the rays catching the dust particles as they floated through the air around her.
The feeling of peace she had felt in her last life was still washing over her which made her smile brightly at the empty room.
She knew that even though her and Paul had their ups and downs, they were meant to be, she knew that with this wolf she had to go slow.
Slipping from the covers that someone had placed on her to keep her warm in the slightly chilly air that was in Emily's guest bedroom, she tip toed across the wooden floor boards and into the bathroom, starting the shower she decided that she would clean up the days worth of dirt that had accumulated on her before going to see Paul.
Scrubbing at her skin, she hummed a little tone.
Their life together had everything a full life should have in it, they had experienced pain, grief, and love, lose and births, they had experienced making a family together.
She knew that in that life she was in her eighties and she loved the fact that Paul had aged with her.
She wanted the family unit that was the Pack, and she wanted to meet every one of her babies, their babies and their babies' babies.
Giggling, Bella wrapped a towel around her, as she finished her shower, wiping at the glass of the mirror she looked at the image before her.
Running her hand over the reflection of herself, she liked that this new Bella's eyes glowed with happiness, and it was as if her skin looked full and healthy, not the sickly pale that it had looked like in the last few months.
She felt so light, she felt like she was floating, like she couldn't do a thing wrong at this very minute.
She was human.
And she was in love.
She loved Paul Lahote, and the more she remembered and stored in her mind that she had experienced on her dream walk made her love him more, she remembered the way her heart jumped in the last life, she realised it had jump in this life to.
It had jumped and twisted and fluttered as she looked at Paul, and there family, as it had jumped and twisted the day in the kitchen or when she sat beside him at Emily's kitchen table.
She had always loved Paul, she just needed to see it to believe it to be true.
Walking into her room, she slipped on her jeans and a t shirt that was laid on the bed for her to wear.
Walking down the stairs she smiled at Emily.
"So?" Emily asked a twinkle in her eye as she stared at Bella "who was it?"
Smiling brightly Bella stated "I hope you'll see soon"
Emily nodded her head turning back to the stove "so his pack then"
Bella laughed "Em" shaking her head she bumped Emily's hip "many of years in this little kitchen cooking for our wolves to come"
Emily squealed hugging Bella "oh Bella, you have to tell me which one"
Shaking her head Bella stated "nope" before turning to the big basket of potatoes in front of her.
Picking up the peeler she started to peel the potatoes, for the wolves' dinner.
Sticking her tongue out at Bella they worked in silence.
"Did you have children?" Emily asked, as she looked up from preparing some peas, the knife posed halfway in her hand
"Loads" Bella stated "we have enough to fill a house, and we were happy and old when I left"
"Old?" Emily asked, her eyes narrowing slightly "you defend old differently then I do, to you I'm probably old"
Rolling her eyes at Emily's comment Bella stated "I am in my eighty, but I was a young looking eighty that was for certain"
"Yeah?" Emily asked as she eyed Bella
"Yep, I looked to be in my sixties, so it must have something to do with being with a wolf, we must age slowly" Bella stated "i might ask Old Quil if i can read some of the journals left from the previous pack"
"We don't age while they phase" Emily stated as she went back to topping the potatoes.
Bella hummed lightly "what about when a wolf dies, will the imprint break?"
"Only if they aren't truly in love with each other"
Both Emily and Bella jumped at Sam's voice "why would you want to know that?"
Bella shrugged "just curious" she answered
Sam hummed as he kissed Emily on the cheek before sitting at the table. "So was this dream walk worth it?" he asked
"Leave her be Sam" Emily stated as she continued to cook lunch
"If it concerns my pack I have the right to know" Sam stated, his eyes zeroing in on Bella "does it have anything to do with my pack?"
Smirking at him lightly Bella stated "yep" before peeling another potato
"And?" Sam asked
Bella shrugged "what?"
"What does it have to do with my pack?" Sam asked
"Sam" Bella stated "my personal life won't hurt your pack I assure you that they will all grow old, and have families of their own one day" turning away from him Bella continued to peel more potatoes "even Quil" she added with a smile.
An hour later as the pack filled into the house, laughing and horsing around in there own fashion, Bella looked around to notice if Paul was there.
She noticed that both Sam and Emily watched her to look, to see which wolf it was.
It wasn't until she sat at the dining room table later that he slipped in filling the only spare seat in the room that was next to her.
Slipping her hand off the table and into Paul she waited for a sign that he was going to reject her.
As he enclosed her fingers with his, she smiled brightly.
Quil took it as encouragement and continued to tell the story of Jacob walking into the girl's bathroom at school.
Leaning slightly towards Paul she felt the peaceful sensation rush through her again.
This is where her future started.
This is where she was destined to be.
And this is where she was going to stay.
No amount of Vampires and problems can drag her away from her imprint and the lives that they will make together.
So...this in the end of Destiny, I hope you all loved reading this as much as I loved writing it, I am going to at a later date write how they go along their path, but at this point in time there is only a rough chapter written, and from now on I plan on at least nearly finishing a story before posting it, that being said, I should start posting another Paul and Bella story that I had written a while ago, and finish off Life Always Turning.
Thank you all for your support with this story, and I hope that you all continue to read more stories.
Lily.
