Inner Evil: Hey guys this is it, the last chapter to this story. I want to thank everyone that stuck around with me through it all and wanted to tell you all how grateful I am for your constant support. I tried to wrap it all up but not too tightly in case I decided to do a sequel in the future (at this point it's not very likely) thanks to Siel 03, delacruzanabel90, LeafCatcher36, zevianwerewolf, bribri1300, shatteredstar21, bella Damon and klaus, AniMeOtaKuKiNg, BlackWolfX, rentamiya, LunarFrost56, Niic-wolf, and last but not least alexandra101

:-raynaldy- I hope you like what I decided to do with his eyes. It pertaining to the DeanxCasxNaru story I got really so excited that I already have some ideas so the story might come sooner than later but still I will try to focus mainly on my novel before committing to another story believe me it's not fun writing two at the same time.

brokenstrings001: Mpreg is about pregnant male because they still have a dick making them males. Now is some stories they are feminized which I don't like because it takes the point out of mpreg (to each their own) but for it to be mpreg they would still have to be male. In real life (at least in humans) females are the only ones that could get pregnant but luckily literature is not limited to real life.

yukino76: No worries he does wake up and I felt Carlisle was too nice about it but he wouldn't be Carlisle if I wrote it any differently.

inuyasha16451: I like to think that this one was not a cliffhanger and I tie all the loose ends but if you have any questions I'll be happy to answer them.

:-raynaldy- So like I said above I do have a really great idea for a story but I am working on a novel and its very hard for me to balance multiple stories since I have very limited time to write and usually have to choose between one or the other. I will try to post something next year sometime around summer or sooner depending on how much I progress with my novel. A DeanxCasxNaru story is still in the works and is defiantly going to be my next Fanfic work.

The Place Where We Belong

Thing began to get worse as time went on and Naruto wouldn't wake up, the bleeding started to become worse to the point the Harry was no longer able to clean it up in time. The struggle between the venom and the chakras was getting more aggressive to the point that it was causing the blond serious seizures. Everyone was becoming extremely worried that the blond was dying and there was nothing they could do.

It was killing Emmett and Harry to have to watch their mate slowly and painfully die. Carlisle was feeling hopeless and seeing his last blood relative in such a state was making him relief that memory of losing his little brother. Everyone in the family was being affected by the deterioration of the blond; it was getting to the point where everyone was faced with the possibility of losing the blond.

There big break came surprisingly from Bree when she came to visit the blond wanting to help. With Edward gone Bree offered to use her powers to try to look into Naruto's mind and see if she could see what was going on and if she could help. What she found was far worse than they expected. The news was shocking and crushing for all of them

"He's fading"

"What do you mean?"

"He is losing himself; his memories are slowly fading so he is forgetting who he was which means that the body upstairs is becoming nothing but an empty shell."

Everyone was completely silent unable to know what to say, Bree's words were a bucket of cold water for everyone. It was so shocking that no one knew how to react; there was a difference between suspecting something and actually having it confirmed. The person to break the silence was surprisingly enough Esme "what can we do to stop it?" her words were enough to snapped a few people out of their shock while others were still lost. "I…I don't know"

The words were the rock that broke the window and all hell broke loose, people yelling back and forth even Carlisle was too devastated to keep the peace. The reunion soon became a brainstorm section to figure out how to help the blond.

"ENOUGH!"

Again Esme took charge like any mother facing the death of a child she was not ready to deal with foolishness and idiocy that could hurt or affect that child. "Everyone who doesn't have something useful to say will shut up." Everyone's eyes widen some scared by the normally sweet vampire. She made everyone sit down, she order Neville to make tea for the humans and blood pops for the vampires.

Once the room was calm and Harry had taken a break to check on his mate and clean him up again everyone was sitting down yet the mood was still dark and gloomy. "Wait…" Angela got everyone's attention "…you said he is losing his memory, how did you know that?" She looked at Bree so the young vampire explained her powers making the human grin which confused everyone "So can't you just bring him back, restores his memories and recreate the ones that you can't with the help of Lee and Hinata."

Everyone was completely silent it was so simple that no one understood why they did not think of it before. It all seemed too good to be true so they all turned to Bree for confirmation but the girl looked unsure "I…Well ideally I should be able to…but I've never done this before I don't have much control of my powers so I could always also make it worse." Emmett walked up to the young vamp his eyes would have be glossed with tears if he could cry; he got on one knee to even out with the girl

"Please Bree, he is my other mate, he is our everything and without him we could never be fully happy, so please if there is a chance you have to try…I'm begging you."

Although Emmett was unable to cry a sob still escape his last words and his body was shaken with emotion. To see the big strong vampire so lost and broken was sad for everyone, Rosalie felt her heart break. Harry walked over to his mate and pulled him into his arms but his eyes begged Bree to give it a try.

*Gasp*

They all turned to Alice hoping that the girl had just gotten a vision confirmation that this might work. "Alice what did you see?" The urgent exclamation from Carlisle voiced every ones thoughts "It is not what I saw but what I felt. There is a new possible future…" The seer looked at everyone before her eyes landed on Bree and smiling at the young vampire "…a future where Naruto survives." That is all anyone needed to take the risk and it was enough to give Bree the confidence she needed to try.

For the next few days Bree was stuck in the blonde's room with her hands on his temple eyes closed navigating his memories and restoring them back to give the body before her his identity. Emmett and Harry kept suppling her with blood pops to keep her fed while Lee, Hinata and even Karin supplied her with the memories that she couldn't fully restore. For days nothing seemed to change on the outside and Harry and Emmett were getting desperate and impatient but they held on for their mate.

Bree walked around the darkness reaching out and grabbing traces of life. I felt a lot like fishing or hunting she had to wait but also she had to hunt. The more memories she saw the more form that the darkness began taking. A young blond boy thirsty for approvable and affection creating mischievous around the village, a teacher's betray, passing a test, joining a team of people she could not see clearly…Team 7 Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi…She continue the first mission on a bridge, learning about Kurama, Missions some she could not see clearly…I don't know…so she had to leave blank and move on, Sasuke leaving, promising Sakura, Making his friends, helping people, getting the recognition he always wanted.

It was one memory after the other and it was exhausting but she couldn't give up specially as she saw the darkness…Picture how do you want the mind to look like, organize it yourself in the best way possible…slowly turning into long hallway with doors where she stuck each memory that was already restored. "Please make it stop…please someone…don't leave me…I give…" The words were mumbled ahead until she came to the blond in front of her cover in darkness.

"You give nothing. You have to fight Naruto."

She understood why the blonde's stage was deteriorating so fast, he was giving up so she pulled from the depth the best and happiest memories that the blond has most of them were from recent times. Bree saw his greatest fear of being alone "you are not alone you have people out there waiting for you, fighting for you…" So she shown him all the people waiting for him and why they were worth fighting for, of course she could have lived without the sex memory between the trio.

"Who are you?"

"no one"

More memories and faces

"Who are you?"

"I don't know"

More happy memories

"Who are you?"

"I…I don't…"

Even more memories now she could even hear words from Emmett, Harry and Carlisle all suppling her with more memories to feed the blond

"WHO ARE YOU?"

"Naruto Uzumaki!"

At the yell a bright light burst knocking the young girl away so hard that it threw her out

"AAAAHHHHH!"

Bree was blasted off the blond by a burst of energy; everyone else in the room felt the energy as well. Hinata, Harry and Lee were knocked unconscious while the vampires were left dazed and confused. The bright light could be seen from far away everyone else in the house felt a strong burst of wind that almost knocked them to the ground. "What the hell was that?!" Paul exclaimed as he checked over his imprint to make sure he was okay.

"Naruto!"

They all rushed to the blonde's room to see what happened only to find three unconscious humans, and even stranger three vampires knocked to floor dazed, in the bed sat a confuse but mostly awake Naruto but also strange was the pillowed size red ball of fur next to him. "What's going on?" To everyone's shock cerulean eyes that now slowly bleed into red with a purple line around the edges looked up at them in confusion.

The tension and shock was broken by the groan from the humans who were slowly waking up as soon as that happen things began to move in overdrive Emmett had rush to Harry's side at the beginning picked the human up and rushed him to the bed so that they each sat next to their mate. They ran their hand through his body checking him and making sure that he was okay, Naruto while confuse accepted the fussing as he felt that it was important.

Carlisle was the one that brought attention to the differences in the blond like the mixed eyes color or how the marks on his cheeks were darker or how when he spoke to reassured his mates Carlisle could see the razor sharp teeth almost wolf like, there was also an almost feral energy to him. "Naruto, how are you feeling?"

Naruto felt different for some reason but he didn't know why, the constant questions were confusing him as he wasn't sure what was going on. "I feel different what happen? Why does everyone keep asking that?" Naruto looked around waiting an explanation Neville realized that this was a private conversation so he ushered everyone out of the room except for Harry, Emmett, and Carlisle. Paul help Bree up and out of the room as she was still very weak and dazed, Hinata was being carried by a worry Leah while Rosalie focused on her mate.

Soon the room was empty except but the three and Naruto, the doctor in the room began examining the blonde while he let Harry and Emmett explain the situation. "What is the last thing you remember?" Harry asked not sure where to start, Naruto was deep in thought for a few minutes "My memories feel strange and blurry almost as if they weren't my own but I know that they are…"

Harry and Emmett looked at each other knowing about Bree's work on the blonde's memories "…I remember…Sasuke! We were fighting and he…" Naruto looked down and placed his hand on his chest almost looking for the wound that was once there "…I lost." Emmett grabbed his mate's hand in support "you were dying and we couldn't let you die…" Harry looked at Emmett before continuing "…we won't apologize for that."

The two later explained what happen and Naruto remain passive throughout the whole explanation. He almost seemed like someone listening to a story that they had nothing to do with, like a third party "Do you remember?" Harry finished tentatively "my head remembers but it feels more like a movie than something I lived." Emmett was the one to respond "Bree did have to rebuilt and replace your memories as you were losing most of them. We filled in the recent years and events while Hinata and Lee filled in for the later times."

"So I'm a vampire now?"

"Not necessarily…"

"What do you mean Carlisle?"

"Well after checking it doesn't seem like Naruto is a vampire at least not a normal one."

The admission was followed by silence from everyone as they process the statement from the doctor. "Your skin is colder that a human but not as cold as a vampires. Your eyes and your skin are also different from us. While your eyes still hold some red in them they are relatively the same and your skin while paler than normal is still not pale enough…" Naruto stood up unaware of his vampire speed he got up so fast that he almost crash into the mirror if it wasn't for Emmett's hand on his waist. "Wow careful with the speed."

"At least we know you have the speed."

"What do you think it means?"

"I am not sure I have never seen something like this but it seems that the chakras inside him fused with the vampire venom to make him a hybrid of some kind."

"A ninja vampire hybrid"

Harry was confused by the theory in all his study he has never heard of a hybrid vampire he could believe in a half human half vamp but he has never heard of anything else. "No…" They both turned to the blond who was looking at himself "…I can't feel my chakra; I do feel a strange energy inside but it feels familiar." A noise from the red ball of fur in the bed drew everyone's attention "damn it what do I have to do to sleep in this place? Shut the fuck up!" the fur uncurled and revealed a red fox with pointed ears and blood red eyes highlight by black fur around them like eyeliner "I know that voice…Kurama?!"

"Brat why you always have to be so loud all the times"

"What are you doing out? Shouldn't I be…?"

"Dead? Hate to break it to you Kit but you are and as you know what happens to you happens to me. Unlike other tail beast I can't be held in a dead vessel."

"But how are you…?"

"Out? I have no idea and neither do I care all I know is that I am free from your annoying thoughts. It did come at a cost since I am not nor will I ever be at full strength. You should be grateful brat I gave my power to keep you alive."

"The foreign energy…"

"Some of my chakra, the truth is you weren't going to survive the bite as our chakra naturally fought the venom so with my chakra and sacrificing yours as well as the help of the young vampire we were able to make you a mix of both."

Everyone was silence those not part of the conversation were watching back and forth between the two. Carlisle couldn't stop his curiosity and his protective instinct so he asked the question on everyone's mind. "A mix of a vampire and what?" Kurama turned to the vampire looking at him as if the answer was obvious "A demon obviously it was my chakra after all." The 'duh' tone was so obvious that Naruto gave them a 'see this is what I've had to deal with' look.

Weeks Later

In the next following weeks things began to move along, it almost seemed as if everything fell into place after Naruto woke up. The first few days were about examinations and test on what Naruto was and what his limits and powers were. They found that the blond had all the abilities of a vampire but not the appearance or the hunger. Instead of blood the blond craved meat he could have it cooked but raw would sate his appetite better.

Both Lee and Hinata trained with him to see what abilities he retained and what amount of chakra he had access to. Turns out that the blonde's own chakra is completely gone and all he has is Kurama's. He could still do ninjutsu but with a lot less chakra he had less endurance and stamina for keeping them up so they agreed that his chakra would be saved for emergency situations.

With Luna and Neville they learned that he was immune to magic of all kind even when hit directly. The wolves weren't as affect by him as they were with other vampires and unlike the other vampires he held no prejudice against the wolves. This was proven in the meeting with the elders and pack to rewrite the treaty between the wolves, the vampires and now Naruto's clan as well.

Naruto officially approved of both Karin and Bree welcoming them with a bright smile even before he was told how they helped him. Bree and Naruto developed a closed relationship, she developed an almost hero worship with him as she saw the most imitate parts of him, his struggle and his pains while he felt a kindred spirit in her. It took a while for Naruto to feel like himself and it was some trial an error but Harry and Emmett remain constant and patience through it all.

"How do you feel?"

"It's strange some days I feel like myself, like everything fits in perfectly but other days I feel like everything is a lie and all I think I know was made up."

Naruto opened up to his mates while the three sat together on what has become their spot on top of the cliff overlooking the forest. The blond was sitting in between Emmett's legs with the bigger vampire's arms wrapped around him while Harry sat snuggle to his side with his legs crossed over both of theirs. "It's not going to be easy but with time…"

"With time nothing will change, this is my new normal…some days wondering who I am…"

"As much as I hate that you are going through this I will never apologize for asking Carlisle to turn you."

"And I would never ask you too or resent you both for wanting to save me because I would have done the same. This is no reproach all I'm saying is that this is my new normal and you both need to accept that I will never be the same."

Naruto exclaim feeling scared that the admission that he can no longer be the old Naruto would push his mates away. Who would want to be with someone who questions there relationships on his worse days 'its not fun for them to constantly wonder in what stage I will be on some days. Carlisle described it as the equivalent of a human with bipolar disorder except there no medications for me and my issue is memory not emotions.'

Harry gently turned Naruto's face so that the blond was facing him and looked into those still beautiful Cerulean, red and purple eyes. He remembers the first moment he saw those eyes a part of him had fallen head over heels and those eyes even with the changes still made his heart race and slow down at the same time. Harry knew that their relationship will not be easy; Emmett and he had spoken about it after one of Naruto's bad days but the two agree that any life with Naruto was better than a life without him.

"Hey look at me and read my lips, we love you every way and always! No matter what you go through we will be here for you every step of the way."

"Yea sorry blondie but you're stuck with us. You fed us now you have to keep us."

Emmett wiggle his eyebrows making it obvious that he was not talking about food making Harry blush and Naruto smile. "Talking about feeding how about you fed us again…" Harry hit the big vampire in the shoulder making him pout "What? Like you're not hungry" Emmett winked "now is not the time." Harry exclaim yet not denying Emmett's statement Naruto's laugh broke their banter from continuing further like all the times the blond laughs both his mates smiled feeling happy and complete an very excited by the blonde's statement.

"I could eat."

Two years later

It has been two years since the big fight and Naruto's turning many things had change since then one major change was that Luna got pregnant something which Embry's mother lamented for the fact that they were so young but she accepted and supported them any ways. The rest of the family was confused that the seer wasn't able to see this coming but when asked she just gave her dreamy smile "the future is quite unpredictable even for me." Naruto, Kurama and Karin immediately called bullshit.

Either way they welcomed the baby boy when he was born, baby Lysander soon become adored by everyone and absolutely spoiled. The baby had been almost like a catalyst for peace between vampires and werewolves although there was no proof yet that the child was a wolf. Embry had become extremely over protective of his pregnant imprint and later his newborn child so the vampires had to wait a few months to meet him but when they did Rosalie completely fell in love.

The blonde vampire was completely enchanted yet at the same time felt depress by the new addition. It reminded her of the child that she will never have, Lee decided to take her away for some time when he realized that being neither the baby was really taking a toll on her. Now a year later they were back for Lysander's first birthday.

The whole family got together wolves and vamps in the magical house where Naruto as the patriarch of the family was hosting the event. The blond had done much better with his memories with the constant help of Bree and his mates by his side, he still had episodes but they were fewer and far in between. Emmett had moved in with his mates to and they now shared the responsibilities of patriarch of the family. Their home had become the hub or go to spot as the neutral territory for both sides.

The party was in full swing and the guest of honor was been showered with love and attention by his grandmothers and aunts. Harry and Neville were both bouncing with energy eager to share the project that they have been collaborating with Kurama over. Speaking of the fox was in the balcony delighting in a nap with Carlisle and Billy also enjoy some quiet times. The latter was extremely happy as his son was now Alpha in training and had finally gotten the courage to propose to his imprint, "Of course I will marry you, do you even have to ask." Jacob had been even more possessive since especially when he got the approval of her parents and Naruto.

At times Jacob missed not being able to tell Bella the great news it was moments like those that he missed his best friend but he knew that it was better that way. Bella and Edward had decided to travel the world together it looks like they had rekindled their relationships after Bella was turned. According to Edward she was attacked by a rogue but he got to her in time to give her the bite, he then took her to Esme Island to wait it out and later trained her. Since then the two had been closer than ever and after Bree did some maneuvering with Charlie's memories the two were able to stay away to travel the world. Everyone was happy for them but most of all they were happy that they were gone the two checked in once in a while with Carlisle.

Jacob had never felt so happy in his life everything seemed to be falling into place for everyone not just him. Paul and Neville were still fucking like rabbits the news the some wizards can get pregnant has only made the wolf's sexual drive worse. They've all had to suffer from the wolf's horny and dirty thoughts about his imprint but it wasn't just sex the two seemed to bring out the best in each other. Neville had calm and mellow out the hot tempered wolf while Paul had given the shy wizard confidence. The two were the poster image of opposites attract and were absolutely perfect for each other.

Jacob's training with Sam was going great and while he still had doubts about being a leader his pack and imprint gave him constant strength and support. He was taking on more responsibilities as Emily got closer to her due date both were extremely excited and in a month will be welcoming a baby girl into the world that they decided to name Tayen. It was an exciting time for them and even Leah congratulated them with honest joy. Rosalie was again reminded of what she couldn't have but what she was unaware of was that Emily had been Harry's first test subject in Neville and his fertility assistance project. If it worked for Emily than they could possibly apply it to others.

A few months later

Finally the time came and Emily went into labor on a warm summer's day, everyone had been outside when it happen the only ones not surprised were Luna and shockingly Naruto "I can smell it on her, it's a coopery almost fleshy new smell." At the moment no one wanted to really address the blonde's statement but had grown use to the sometimes feral thoughts. Poor Sam was beside himself, per Emily's request he was not allow in the room with her as she was worry how his wolf would handle everything and like always she was right for a few minutes into her labor Sam lost control and shifted his wolf not been to take its imprint's screams.

Jacob as the soon to be alpha tried to reason with him but nothing got through to him so Naruto and Paul took it on themselves to distract him with a sparring match. Luna put a silencing charm on the house to calm Sam down and maybe have him focus. In the room with Emily were Carlisle and a Quileute healer who were in charge of the medical aspect of the delivery as well as Harry and Neville who were both on the Magical aspect of making everything run smoothly seeing as it was a magically induced pregnancy Kurama opted to stay away "I'll be a silent partner".

The labor was grueling, it took hours and for a while everyone present was worry that things will not go well. Carlisle and the healer were not sure that Emily or the baby would make it even with the help of Harry and Neville's magic. Emily felt as if she was being ripped apart but she was so close to what she had always wanted, she could almost feel her child in her arms being spoiled rotten by the pack, and she refused to give up even if she had to give her life for her child.

Unknowingly Emily provided the last and strongest magic that was needed and that was a mother's pure sacrificial love for their child. A love willing to give all and do all for the live that it created. It was the save love that saved Harry when Voldemort was going to kill him and it was a magic that any mother with a deep maternal unconditional love for their child could possess. It was the last component needed for the spell that Harry and Neville had tried to develop.

Suddenly a bright light covered the room spilling out the house surprising everyone even Naruto, Paul and Sam who has stopped their spar to look at the light spilling out of the room. It was a mesmerizing sight until Luna took the silencing spell of the house and everyone heard the loud cry of a child taking its first breath. 'Way to go Emily' The seer couldn't help but think knowing what gave the finally push.

"WUUAAAHHH"

Sam was mystified by the sound of what he now knew was his daughter, his little Tayen. He felt a pull towards them and started to walk over towards that cry. No one tried to stop him this time as he walked as a man in a trance; he ignored the two smiling wizards and the two doctors. His daughter…he had a daughter and she was absolutely perfect to him. When he was able to turn his eyes away he looked at his exhausted but happy imprint and couldn't believe what this woman was able to do her strength humbled him "Thank you." He whispered after giving her a sweet kissed in the forehead and then the mouth.

A few months later

The family was together celebrating the birth of Tayen since mother and child had to remain in observation for a few months the celebration was postponed. Everyone was together in the Magical house which had become a neutral territory thanks to the new treaty that stipulates that Naruto and his descendants will serve as mediators since the blond proved to be impartial and fair.

Everyone was having fun even Rosalie was smiling and it made things harder for Harry and Neville. The two wizards were trying to find the right way to propose their idea to the blonde vampire, they didn't want to wait it was obvious that -while she was happy for Emily- seeing the woman holding Tayen was breaking her heart the sadness was clear in her eyes. They think it was the reason why Emily allow Rosalie to hold the child and even Sam didn't have the heart to be mad or stop her.

"Tell her!"

Emily mouthed the words to the wizards giving them a pointed look while the vampire was distracted on the baby. Harry felt an arm wrapped around his waist "take a deep breath and remember you are doing a good thing. Rosalie will adore you for it." Set vampire turned immediately to them eyes suspicious, Harry turned to glare at his blond mate knowing -the smirk was a dead giveaway- he did that on purpose.

He had no time to scold the blond as Rosalie had handed the baby back and was heading his way. His mate kissed him in his cheek and walked away leaving him alone with a suspicious and serious Rosalie. "What's going on?" lucky for Harry Neville was there with him and he was better at keeping people calm. "It is nothing bad we've been working on something that we think would interest you." Neville pointed towards the balcony trying to guide the vampire outside where they could have some privacy.

The family could see the conversation but not hear it so they saw the different stages of cautious explanation, skepticism from the blonde, the proof when Harry point to Emily inside, the doubt and finally they saw the blonde vampire break down. But they knew that she was willing to accept the risk when they saw her nod her head. Harry and Neville both smile and tried to reassure her. It was the start of a new chapter for their family and it seemed like it was going to bring good things for everyone involve.

Epilogue

"Honey, look Edward and Bella sent us a letter it seems like the construction of their new house in Esme Island is finished."

"That is fantastic I am so happy for them. It surprised me when they asked me a few years ago to build their own place and settle down there."

Carlisle replied his arms wrapped around his mate both snuggled on the couch, it was one of those days that he was off and they had the house completely to themselves. Those moments had become more and more common over the years as each of their children had built their own families and found their own happiness. But he was not sad by this, he loved watching his children happy it was a true joy for him.

"Yes I was quite worry about what Charlie would think as even with Bree manipulating his memories he was not able to forget about Bella but I'm glad she promised to keep in contact with him."

Thinking of the newest addition to the family Esme couldn't help but smile as she remembers how crucial she had become to their coven and how powerful she had grown to be. Her biggest accomplishment was being able to shift around everyone's memories in Forks so that the Cullens would be able to stay without drawing any attention. That girl had grown so much since she met them in the battle.

"Speaking of how is Bree doing?"

"I spoke to her this morning she is great, loving London and her classes; she finally decided to go with child psychology. She is coming in for the celebration in a few days but she made some friends and she sounds enamored with everything over there I think we might lose her to the city."

Carlisle smiled thinking of the first time Bree went to London; it was on a shopping trip with all the girls. The girls had convinced her to check out the colleges around and the rest was history next thing Carlisle knew he was buying an apartment close to school to set the girl up. Looking up at the mantle of their fireplace and around the living he sees the pictures of all the years together.

Birthday parties of the grandchildren, Alice, Jasper and Seth cuddle on the couch at their weekly movie night date, Naruto, Emmett and Harry enjoying a picnic together, Angela and Jacob on their wedding day with Billy and Angela's father tearing up in the background, Kurama and Naruto having a heated argument with each other, Tayen on her first birthday with her arms around her favorite person in the world Emmett -something that made his mates smile and made Sam frown but the wolf had still not learn to say no to his little girl so there was nothing he could do-, her and Lysander playing at first beach.

"How were Tayen and Lysander's first day of school?"

Esme smiled the talk of her grandchildren always bringing her joy even when neither of them were born of her adoptive children. She pulled out her phone and shown Carlisle a picture of a little girl with black long braids and a bright yellow bumblebee dress with purple rain boots and a bright smile. Her arm was thrown over the shoulder of a taller boy with a gentle smile, similar skin color but his hair was blond. The boy was more subdue than the girl with simple black jeans, orange t-shirt and a black Jacket.

"Luna sent me this picture of them from this morning. They made quite the pair but according to both Luna and Emily, Tayen took care of anyone looking at them funny."

"That girl is quite the alpha already; I do not envy Sam when she is older. I see Luna is still her favorite fashion icon."

"Oh yes, the girl is quite the eccentric fashionista and Lysander still has Naruto's obsession for orange."

"Yes well that was no surprise to anyone the kid practically idolizes the blond something which still makes Embry slightly jealous. Luna sent him the picture and Naruto immediately called Embry to tease him."

Carlisle smiled at his nephew's antics but thinking of him made him remember where he was and what he was doing and the smile left his face. A while back Demetri came back with an official summons from the Volturi for Naruto and to avoid issues the blond went. Turns out it wasn't such a great decision as the Volturi tried to keep him prisoner and test out his abilities. Everyone was furious but the blond was able to free himself avoiding a declaration of war.

He came back with a new goal to bring down the Volturi one member at a time this mission was about stealth so the blond decided to go on his own. His mates of course refused to let him go without them so the three embarked on a mission to purify the Volturi. The three had been keeping them updated on their status but also coming back home to visit every few months.

There last communication the trio had been in Russia knocking down the Volturi's power and their influence but things were getting more dangerous as the Volturi were starting to notice something going on. They were getting ready to come back home for the birthday celebration of the twins. The girls have been planning the party for months and it looked like it would be a big event base on all the planning. "I know you're worry about them but together they are unstoppable besides they should be back home soon."

"Yes although it is a temporary visit. This is mission is a long one and will not be over any time soon. I worry that the Volturi are starting to suspect and things will get more dangerous."

"Yes but you know more than anyone that Naruto will never stand for corruption and those who wish to take advantage of people's weakness. He has been fighting all his life he will never give up fighting the difference is that now he has us on his side and we will never leave him on his own."

Carlisle kissed his mate on her hand and then on her forehead he will never be able to thank the fates enough for giving him such a perfect woman to share the rest of his life with. Her constant support has been -in some cases- the only thing that has kept him going. "You are right as always my dear. Speaking of how is the preparation for the big event?"

Esme smiled thinking about the big event which was the twins' second birthday party although they looked older than Tayen and Lysander thanks to their vampire blood. Thinking of her grandchildren -the first from her own children- made her think about their mother. A few years back Harry and Neville created a way to help an otherwise sterile Emily have a child and when it worked they offered it to Rosalie who immediately took the opportunity.

Unfortunately it didn't work but neither were willing to give up and a few years later the vampire fell pregnant for the first time in her life. While it was not a normal pregnancy and she wasn't able to experience all that pregnancy offers it was all she ever wanted. A few months later she was rewarded with a set of twins, a boy and a girl who inherited their father's shiny black hair and black eyes.

When Vera and Guy joined the family everything fell into place and Rosalie seemed to become a new woman. It was almost as if the real her was imprisoned by regret and pain but was finally free with becoming a mother. Lee was an amazing father -something no one doubted- what did surprise them was the he became the disciplinary parent while Rosalie was unable to tell the two no. Thanks to their vampire half the two had grown rapidly and looked five years old instead of two that they actually were.

Their second birthday party was a family event that would unite all members including the wolves thanks to a heavily pregnant Angela who has taken over for Emily making the wolves behave. Jared and Kim where still on their honeymoon but everyone else will be present, it will be a great event also because she had in good authority -Luna- that Paul was finally going to propose to Neville.

Esme looked at the pictures around them of her family all the great moments, Leah and Hinata's first date, Karin in the gym giving classes to the younger kids, Carlisle and Naruto smiling together looking like father and son, Lysander and Tayen meeting baby Guy and Vera for the first time, all the kids playing while being babysat by the grandparents, Jacob when Angela told him she was pregnant, Kurama with a baby Tayen and Lysander sat on him looking annoyed but resigned, Neville is his garden with Paul watching lovingly and protecting over him, and the pack and the coven at the first gathering. The last few years have been a little hectic and painful…

"Grandma! Guest what? Ly and Taytay are coming over to play."

"Grandpa, when are Uncle Harry, Uncle Emmett and uncle Naruto coming back?"

"Vera, Guy leave your grandparents alone…"

"But mom…!"

"…No buts, we must pick your birthday outfits."

…but Esme wouldn't change a thing. She looked as her grandchildren as they followed their mother upstairs Rosalie gave them a curious look but left them alone. They both knew that things will never be perfect or stay completely peaceful but they also knew that life had a way of working itself out. They looked at the mantel and at the center was a gift from Harry and Naruto, a big framed picture of the whole family together with the caption 'the place where we belong'

Yes there was no doubt in their mind that life knew exactly what you needed and where you needed to be. In the end it would always lead you to the place you were meant to be and for them this was it not the house, not Forks, not America or this time period but to the people that were part of their life, their family was the place where they all belonged.

The End

Inner Evil: Done! That is it for this story I tried to close off all loose ends but still leave some in case I decide to come back and do a sequel in the future. At this moment a sequel is defiantly not in the works so please think of this as the end to this story.

I want to thank everyone again for the continuing support. I will continue to write and I know I got a few request but like I said I am in the process of writing a novel so it's going to be a while before my next story unless inspiration hits me real hard then in that case it might be sooner.

Please let me know what you think of this end and what you would like to read next from me.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

and

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
