A/N: A huge thank you to Tiffany & Sherry.

Epilogue

The traitors never came. Isabella and Edward waited for years for them to show until the realisation dawned on them that they were never coming. Iain, Garrett, call him what you will, had lied. In a final attempt to ruin Edward's life he had conjured up a lie in the hopes that it would destroy him. He had almost been successful too, but Isabella and Edward had triumphed in the end. They found their peace and happily ever after.

Isabella laughed from her position on the hill as she watched the three men wrestle with the children. They were all getting so big. Douglas was ten summers old now, William and Rodric seven. And that was only the first generation of child. She and Edward had gone on to have another two, Heather and Mairi. Heather was just three summers old and Mairi was only a bairn, not even a whole summer yet. She was asleep in her mother's arms as the three women sat watching their families play.

Alice and Jasper had gone on to have a child of their own, little Blair. Alice had fallen pregnant with him shortly after getting married, but there had been complications during the birth and sadly she was unable to have any more children, but neither of them seemed to mind though. Jasper was a great father to both Douglas and Blair. From the moment they had married, he had treated Douglas as his own, surprising them all.

Rosalie and Emmett got married the following summer. Isabella hadn't needed to do any meddling, the attraction had already been there. They had three children together, Rosalie was either very fertile, or perhaps it was the fact that Emmett could never keep his hands off her. They had Cailin, who was five and little Tomas, who was three, and then their daughter, Skye who was just a bairn.

Together they were all very happy, content.

"Ah yield, ah yield," Edward cried, as he came over to the hill and fell in a heap beside his wife. He was panting, struggling to catch his breath. The children followed him, ready to attack him again.

"I think his lairdship needs a break," Isabella said, laughing. "Go and play without him," she said, waving them away with her hands. The children grumbled and reluctantly left as Emmett and Jasper joined their wives on the hill. All three men were worn out.

"Thank ye," Edward said, as he looked up at his wife.

"You're welcome," Isabella said, leaning down and placing a kiss on her husband's lips. "We wouldn't want our enemies getting wind that you were defeated by a group of children."

"I wiznae defeated," Edward mumbled. Alice and Rosalie laughed.

"Of course, you weren't husband," Isabella said, amused. "Of course, you weren't."

Edward glared up at Isabella and she laughed. She enjoyed teasing him, though she was sure that he would make her pay for that comment later tonight. She couldn't wait.

A/N: I understand some of you are upset. I hope this epi helps ease some of that. I may have confused things by bringing Rosalie into the mix, but I wanted to give Emmett his HEA too. I honestly think I could continue to write these two forever, but we have covered everything that needed covered.

Thanks to Sherry & Tiffany for taking this ride with me and for making the Laird who he is. X x x

And to all of you for letting me give you a little slice of my home. It's been fun.

I am working away at Jurisdiction, albeit slow. I have a new story out The Ties That Bind. I also have a Halloween drabble coming out, Creatures. It doesn't come with a HEA guarantee. See you soon.
