The world had just been saved, again, and I was the only one who knew it.

Each time reality had been changed, I had known it. I could see the chains of causality, the different multiverses, so I could see the sacrifices that had been made, as well as the lives that had been saved.

But my main focus now was not to figure out the story behind what had happened, or to see different stories of what could happen. It was to do something I had waited my entire existence to do, something I never could have done before. It had taken five time-rewinds for this to have been possible, but finally, it was.

Because my power could also sense the focus points of the changes in our reality. Not very well, only enough to get a general sense of the direction the focus point was. The other five times, I had been too far away, but now, I was close enough that it was possible. I could find the points, but more importantly, I could find her.

Thyme was the force behind all of this. She was the focus point, both her future self who traveled back in time, and her present self who felt the shift. I could find both points, but only one mattered. The one that still existed, only hours after the rewind.

At each decision, different universes appeared, and it was simple enough to sort through them to find which one would lead me to Thyme, to someone I hadn't seen in fourteen years.

She was living on campus in a dormitory at the University of Washington, in a single room. She was studying mythology, ironic given what she was and what she knew about real-life 'mythical beings'. She didn't live far from her father, Sage, and had called him earlier once she had felt the energy again; Sage probably was still with her now.

I could see the building where she lived, now. I was at the door. I waited for someone to open the door, then entered the building. I could smell her and Sage, and followed the scents to Thyme's room, room 207.

I was unexpectedly nervous, for some reason. I took a deep breath, though I didn't need it, and knocked on the door.

Thyme opened it, and I saw her dark grey eyes flash with surprise and recognition. Sage came up behind her, and I could tell the moment he realized who I was; he seemed to freeze with shock.

Thyme was the first to snap out of the shock. She spoke quietly, as if saying it out loud would make me disappear. "Parsley?" she asked incredulously?

I smiled for the first time in fourteen years, then stepped into the room and hugged my beautiful, grown-up daughter, and the love of my life, my vampire mate.

"Yes."

A/N:

Thank you to everyone who's read my story, and especially to those who've reviewed, favorited, or followed. This is my first fanfic, so it's been really encouraging to have so many people say that they liked my story. I don't usually like to leave author's notes, since I personally like to get down to the actual story, and because I don't really think that there needs to be communication between the author and the reader, so I probably won't leave author's notes except for at the end of a story.

Firstly, if you read my bio, you can learn more about how time-travel works in my universe, and also about my inspiration for my different stories, which for now includes this story, its sequel, and a planned second series. If you haven't checked out my second story, Searching for the Light, I highly recommend you do so. It has a very different style than this one, since its more focused on character development and stays in a single perspective, and also does not happen in the same universe as this one does.

Secondly, I'm planning on writing a sequel to this story, called Reality, which will causality-wise take place after this one, but time-wise take place after Breaking Dawn, then before Twilight. Something important I need to plan out for this is the situations in which Thyme has gone back in time previously (twice before Rewind begins). My idea is that the problem each time will be some vampire breaking the law, and human technology meaning that it would spread really quickly, but I don't have any ideas about the specific scenarios. If anyone has any ideas, please leave PM me or leave me a review about it!

Again, thanks to everyone for reading my story, I really hope you've enjoyed it; I certainly have enjoyed writing it.
