A/N: Well, here it is. The Epilogue. There won't be any dialogue between characters in this one. Sorry, but that's just how I imagined it. It's also not going to be very long.

I just wanted to thank everyone who has reviewed, followed, and favorited, this story. I had a lot of fun writing it, which is strange because before I started writing this, I didn't even like to write. Oh well, I guess the writing bug bit me. LOL.

Anam, thank you so much for your thoughts, ideas, and reviews. I really hope you stick with me when I start my new story. :)

I haven't decided what I'm going to do for a new story yet, but I hope to have something by next week.

Chapter 43. The Epilogue

5 Years Later

It's hard to believe all the things that can happen in the course of a few years.

It's been 5 years since Edward, Riley, and myself, welcomed the twins into the world. Carlie and Masen are now 5 years old, and the perfect combination of us. They both have Edward's bronze colored hair and my brown eyes.

Masen is more like me though. He has my quiet personality and calmness.

Carlie though, takes after her father. While she's most often very energetic, she also has her moments when she's laid back and relaxed.

Riley is almost 10 years old now. He looks and acts more like James everyday. He's picked up some of Edward's mannerisms, but his personality definitely takes after James. He's easy going and loves to make people happy, especially his siblings. He loves being a big brother. He still loves rock music too. I swear, that kid is going to be a rockstar when he's older.

Alice and Jasper are doing well. Alice still owns her own shop, and Jasper still teaches. They now have a 2 year old daughter named Senna. She looks just like Alice, but with blonde hair and blue eyes. Unfortunately for Jasper, she takes after her mother. She is the most hyper toddler I have ever seen.

Emmett and Rosalie are doing good too, despite not having any luck trying to have kids. They have been trying for a while, and even though they are able to, it just hasn't happened for them yet. But for the most part, they are happy.

Charlie is doing great. He's still the Chief of Police, but he's no longer single or living alone. Three years ago, he started dating Sue Clearwater, and a year and a half later, they got married. I'm very happy for them. They really love each other. And plus, I gained a brother and sister through Seth and Leah, Sue's children from her previous marriage to Harry Clearwater.

Carlisle also managed to find love too. Two years after Edward and I got married, his divorce with Esme was completed. He is now dating a nurse named Maggie. She is younger than him by 3 years, and one of the sweetest women I've ever met. Everyone loves her, and she treats all of us as if we were her own children. They are very happy together.

When it comes to Esme, the Hales, and Mr. McCarty, there's not much to tell. The last we heard of Esme, she was living in Paris with some artist. The Hales and Mr. McCarty still aren't on the best of terms with the rest of us, but they have at least attempted to fix things. It's going very slowly.

As for Edward and I, we are very happy. Edward finally finished his second novel after the twins were born. It was a sequel to his first one. He is currently working on a new story. My company is still doing well both in Seattle and Chicago. I still work, but not as much as I used to. I always make sure to spend as much time with my kids as I can.

All in all, life is wonderful. I have everything I could ever want. I have a family, a wonderful husband, great kids, lots of friends, and a job. What more could I possibly want?

And I have James and Edward to thank for all of that.

Because of them, my once broken heart, still beats.

The End.

A/N: I know it wasn't as detailed as some of my other chapters, but I really wanted to get this finished once and for all. Aside from that, I think it turned out okay.

Thank you all again for reviewing, favoriting, and following this story. :)
