Anyways without further ado the last and final chapter:

BELLA POV

Once Katie's scream had stopped vibrating of the walls I let go of Meg. She fell limp in my arms. I knew she had seen Katie go up in flames and that was probably too much for her mind to handle. I picked her up in my arms and walked up the stairs making sure that her body didn't hit anything along the way. I laid her down in a love seat and went in search for Sam.

Before I had even reached the stairs I started to hear her cry's. I rushed up following the sounds of her crying. I soon found her in a little play pen. Her hair was stuck to her head and tears were poring down her small face. I picked her up in my arms and started to rock her back and forth. She calmed down instantly in my arms. I wondered if this is how I would be if I had been pregnant and I had had my baby. Would I ever have found Edward again? Would I be happy with Jacob? But what would happen when he found Meg while we were married? Would Jacob leave me and his child? Would she or he feel this fragile in my arms? Would I love them with all my heart and not want to be away from them for a second?

I heard a loud crash and a scream from Meg. I ran downstairs and was met with a wolf and 8 vampires. I could see that Meg was terrified as she starred at Jake in his wolf form. I walked over to her with Sam in my arms.

"It's ok. He won't hurt you. Here's Sam I found her." I said. As soon as Sam's eyes fell on her mother she started reaching out to her for comfort. Meg willingly took her in her arms and started kissing here numerous times as tears fell down her cheeks. She didn't even seem to notice the enormous black wolf at the door anymore.

Without turning around I said, "Jake go change back while I try to explain to Meg what happened." I heard him leaving and then I heard Carlisle speak up.

"Bella I don't think it's a good idea to tell her about us." He said in a fatherly way.

"She deserves to know after having her child taken away because of me." I replied defensively. The whole time that Carlisle and I had been talking she had been looking back in forth trying to figure out what the hell we were talking about.

"Meg…I know this might be hard for you to understand. I… we are vampires. Well all of us except for Jake." I said as he came in. "you might not believe us but it is true. I'm not going to tell you everything about us until you're good and ready to find out but trust me you are safe with all of us. We would never hurt you. I just want you to know so that in the end you know that you don't have to be afraid of us. We all drink from animals." I said.

I started to notice that Sam was shivering in Meg's arms. Meg kept looking at each one us with huge eyes. Not being able to believe what I had told her.

"Sam is cold, we need to get her somewhere warm." I said. Jake stepped up and said, "I can hold her if you want." The fear in Meg's eyes was clearly visible. I touched her arm lightly and she looked at me.

"Meg, she's fine with him and you don't want her to get sick do you?" I asked. She shook her head and said, "but what can he do?" she asked.

"Oh I can be a great personal heater." He said and smiled the warmest smile that I had ever seen. She looked at me and I nodded once in reassurance. She reluctantly let Jacob take Sam in his arms. Sam started snuggling up against Jake as soon as she was in his arms. Before long she was asleep in his arms and snoring like a little baby. Jake looked so happy with Sam in his arms. I remembered how we had stayed up talking about all the renovations we were going to do to our house when they baby was born. But all our dreams had been crushed when we heard those words come from the doctor's lips. Tears started to fall from my eyes and I couldn't stop them. I missed what I thought had been mine.

"Excuse me." I said and walked outside. I looked up at the stars trying to make the tears stop falling from my eyes. I heard someone come outside but I didn't turn around.

"Bella, what's wrong?" the person asked from behind me. I knew immediately who it was. I would know that beautiful voice anywhere.

"Nothing's wrong." I said raising a hand to my cheeks to wipe away the trail of tears. Edward slowly turned me around and looked me in the eye. His eyes got big and angry in a flash.

"Did Katie do that to your face?" he asked angrily.

"No, Stephanie didn't." I replied. He seemed shocked for a second. Can you say brain overload to the 10th degree?

"First things first what happened to your eyes?" he asked in the same shocked tone that Monica had.

"Nothing just had an accident, is all." I replied. I didn't want him blaming himself for something he had no control over. Knowing him he would somehow find away to blame himself in the end if I did tell him.

"Please." He begged making those puppy dog eyes that to this day I still couldn't resist. I closed my eyes knowing this was the only way I was going to be able to lie to him.

"Ill tell you later." I said.

"Okay, so what do you mean Stephanie?" he asked coking his head to the side, just the same way as when he had asked me, "I dazzle people?" so many years ago. I told him about everything that Stephanie had told me about. By the time I had finished he was speechless. He couldn't comprehend as to why she would go to that much to be with him. I sat down on the front steps and a second later he did also. I knew why she would go those lengths. She just like me could not live without him.

Even as it seemed like I had moved on, there was that part of me that ached to be with Edward every part of every day. Even if I tried to ignore it, it was there like a virus taking over my system. He grabbed my hand and started softly stroking it.

"You do believe me, don't you?" he asked not looking at me, but staring intently at my hand.

"Believe what?" I asked trying to figure out what he was talking about.

"That I love you?" he said looking at me. It took me a second to focus my thoughts but I blurted out before I could even think, "yes."

He smiled and it nearly broke my heart from finally seeing him smile. He kissed me sweetly one more time on the lips and we sat there in silence. As I sat there with his hands in mine I knew that next time if he did try to leave I wasn't going to give up without a fight.

A couple months later

When I had told Conner about his brother he shut himself in his room and wouldn't let anyone else talk to him except Monica. It was heartbreaking to see him when he would come out. It almost looked like he was dead. Like he had risen from the ground and was just walking around. I could never imagine losing a twin brother. Eventually he started to actually eat again and smiled and all that good stuff. Sometimes I caught myself looking at him and wondered if that's how I had looked when Edward had left me.

One afternoon when Jake was picking up Sam, I got the courage to ask him. Jake seemed to not want to answer this question but after much begging he gave in. His exact words were, "Bella, you were worse. You're body looked like it was completely dead. All you were was skin and bones. Sometimes it was hard to look at you when all you had on was a tank top and caprice. …All your bones stuck out awkwardly. Your face was so pale and you just stared of into space like you were dead. Sometimes I would even catch you not breathing and then all of a sudden you would take a big shaky breath. It scared me, every night I sat up wondering if you had done that while sleeping but hadn't taken that big shaky breath." I tried to forget about those words but once he had left, they kept repeating in my mind like a mantra.

Monica and Conner got engaged as so did Meg and Jake. Edward and I didn't. Not because we didn't want to but it's just that I wasn't ready to marry him this soon. Yes it was true that I loved him and wanted to marry him. But even though it pains me to admit this, I still did not trust him with my whole heart. I never admitted this to Edward or anyone else in the family. Alice being my little bird told me that we would eventually get married. Maybe not anytime soon but we would, when the time was right. I trusted her and knew in my heart that I would, I just needed some time to realize that he wasn't going to try to leave me again.

Ok so yeah pretty boring ending. I had originally planned on doing a sequel to this one but I'm not sure about that now. That's why some things are left unclear.
