BloodyPinkRose: Wow man, well actually first ... HOLA FROM MEJICO ! Okay end of, where was I, yeah well Wow man, last chapter and I'm feeling kinda emotional about it. This is probably the best received story that I've ever written (including ones I've pulled) and while it feels good, its really sad. I'm aware there are things that I've left unsaid but that is just incase I decide to come back and do a sequel but errr we'll see maybe not. I'll speak more of it at the end so I don't ruin anything. and for the (maybe) last time I DONT OWN TWILIGHT!

Epilogue ... five years later

"Father?"

The person in question paused his playing and turned around, smiling happily when he saw his beautiful daughter make her way over to his side, he moved over and let her place her bottom on the edge of his comfortable midnight blue stool. She smiled back at him and rested her curly head on his shoulder.

"Are you alright?" Edward asked and she gave confirmation with a small nod of her head and he smiled before he continued playing his piece, things were certainly a lot different to the way they had been five years ago. Things had been a struggle at first but they had got through it all together.

They became stronger as a family despite the amount of tears and separation between them, he was glad to be where he was now, he was glad that he had his family and he loved them all very much. The small part of him that was broken, suppressed and buried deep in his psyche.

It was the part of him that loved another, someone he hadn't seen since that one day five years ago and didn't know how he felt. It was for the better he knew but it didn't make it any easier. He wanted to see him and just...he didn't even know what he wanted to do, he just wanted to see him once more and touch him to make sure he was real and not just a forgotten dream.

He and Bella didn't really talk about that time, in fact she had basically forgotten it but he could tell the others hadn't. The relationship between Alice and him was still a little strained even after the years but then again they had forever to make up, literally.

Rosalie and Edward; now that was one relationship that hadn't actually changed funnily enough and that was probably down to the fact that he had stayed with Renesmee and Bella despite his love for another. She was more pleasant to him than she used to be.

Rosalie also had quite the bond with Renesmee.

He shook his head to get out of his pondering, seeing as his hands had come to the end of the beautiful and yet so tragic song – one he had written for Jacob and one that he would never share with any other of course - Renesmee had left silently, obviously seeing that he needed time for himself and left in her wake was a letter.

It was by no means something elegant, in fact the writing was scrawled and ugly as if the writer was in a rush and getting down their thoughts as fast as possible and the paper itself while white, was grubby and crumpled as if the writer had thought to start again many a time.

It reminded him of Jacob and that brought a smile to his face as he picked it up and opened it carefully. One could hope after all, maybe it was from him. Edward had always wanted to know what happened to him but there was no way that he could ask anyone without causing some sort of mass panic.

Bella had only just started trusting him again, she had acted like he was going to run off with the first man he looked at for more than what she thought was healthy, this was literally anything over the blink of an eye. Edward was Jacobsexual thanks very much, no other guy could hold his attention more than that overgrown mutt.

Bloodboy,

Yeah that's right, it's me. I thought I would drop in a note while I'm in the area, not be a stranger and all that malarkey. So, it has been a while since I last saw you, I wonder what you look like or what your life is like now without me in it; HA! Like you even realise that I'm gone, I bet your mini me has been keeping you busy and your wife – yeah I heard about the two of you congrats and all that – what is it that you guys actually do now? I mean no baddies to go fight and no sleeping half the day away; must be pretty boring. I don't know why I'm asking questions, I don't even know if you'll read this and I know for certain that I won't get a reply. You do understand that right? I don't want a reply from you, it's not that I don't care about what you have to say...it's just for the best you know? We both have our own parts to play in this life and we can't be involved, in any sense of the world.

I'm doing fine I guess, moved overseas as far as I could with the money I had and just the one way ticket. There was no way I was going to turn back and return, I couldn't do that to myself, or you or even Bella. Yeah I can say her name now without wanting to rip her pretty face off and piss on it. Sorry I know she's your wifey and all that. Forgive me? You know I feel like such an idiot right now sitting here and writing to you, I don't have much time, I just thought to pop in and see my old man before I go off to see my sisters; Rachel's popped her kid, I'm sure you heard, ole Billy has been telling anyone who will listen; including your wife. A tiny girl called Sarah-Rose, after our mother you understand.

I really am tempted to deliver this myself and see what you're like now, I mean I know in theory you wouldn't have changed but, I mean you're a father now you know. It's kinda creepy really, the body of a teenager and yet you have a kid and you never did tell me her name. I know Billy is warming up to her but he doesn't really tell me much about her, old man is getting senile in his old age but I suspect he has a long way until he pops his clogs; Emily and Sam's boys keep him on his wheels.

If you're still reading, you really are an idiot! Just throw this away and pretend you didn't get it, I just feel the need to write it because I still need closure I guess. I realise I haven't really said much and I would kill to tell you but I don't know if you'll try and find me – big headed of me to think I know, I can bet you're rolling your eyes – but Edward you know I'm not completely retarded for thinking it. HA! What am I writing, of course I want to tell you everything and have you come after me but ...

Yeah.

I'm twenty two now you know, it is almost my birthday and I am pleased to say I am physically older than you, so suck on those pineapples. I don't look much different; my hair is longer I guess? I thought I needed a change and grew it out again but just not as long. I still shift but pretty soon I guess I'll stop changing and let my life go by since, well you know ...

I guess I'm done ranting now, I don't really want to waste too much of your time and I'm sure Bella will be pissed if she knows I'm talking to you. You know what feel free to respond just once maybe or not or something. I don't even know right now but I have to get shifting so I'm going to pass this on to Billy.

He still doesn't know what happened but I think he's glad I left Forks, knew it wasn't for me and everything you know. I still miss everyone and your creepy vampy family but it isn't so different over here. I've met the resident pack and even the resident vamps; yeah you'll never guess who they are.

Okay, okay I'll tell you; the creepy duo from before you know, Cyrus and his chickette, Sophronia. Yeah no kidding but they're alright, if not slightly creepy. Well anyways I'm going to stop there, like really, no more ranting I really do have to get going. So ... taking care of yourself and don't worry, even though I'm sure you aren't. Some things were meant to be and others just well; without sounding cheesy, they just fade into the background and are forgotten.

Peace out and take care of yourself for the rest of eternity,

Jacob 'muttface' Black

He must have stared at the letter for hours – but literally only minutes – the letter fluttered to his hands and he jumped to his feet not bothering to pick up the letter as it floated to the ground slowly due to the large surface area. His head was in shambles and he didn't know whether to ignore the existence or see if he could catch up, just get that one last glimpse of Jacob.

His legs were moving before his mind even caught up; he had to see him just one last time. His nose his guide and his thoughts a mile a millisecond. There were so many questions he wanted to ask and so many things he needed and wanted to say.

Jacob stopped and turned around with a sigh, he had felt the shift in the air and smelt the heavenly smell get closer, it really was stupid of him to write a note but he had been certain that his father wasn't going to see the hybrid until later on in the week.

Nature always seemed to work against his wishes,

"I know you're there Edward," he said with a roll of his eyes as he let out his breath and turned around, Edward came out from behind a tall tree like some sort of stalker or someone who really thought they were hiding well. Had Edward forgotten that he wasn't human or did he actually just want Jacob to notice he was there?

They stared at each other for a while, neither really knowing what to say to each other. It was awkward but at the same time nice for them to see each other in this way. There was going to be no other time like this – but then again fate worked in strange ways – so they might as well just make the most of it.

"sooo~" Jacob began awkwardly and when Edward just looked at him blankly, he started to laugh, the vampire really hadn't changed at all. At all, at all. It was quite uncanny actually, one would think that no years had gone past at all, Edward looked as he had the day they had last seen each other.

Edward smiled,

"I got your letter," he mentally slapped himself, was that the best he could come up with, of course Jacob knew that or else they wouldn't be standing there awkwardly in the middle of a field and looking at each other both waiting for something that they didn't know.

Jacob nodded slowly with a grin, "I guessed, what did you think pretty nifty for a five minute writing right?" he asked easily and Edward snorted and rolled his eyes. Five minute write? With that awful chicken scratch he wouldn't even give it a three minute write.

Jacob pouted when he said as much; it was nice how they were slowly going back to their easy banter only this time it wasn't the real insulting they used to do to each other. It was nice and friendly and it felt good to them both.

They sat on a nearby tree stump – mmm convenient – and chatted easily until the sun began to set and then they moved to lie down on the darkened grass to watch it together. Jacob poking fun of Edward's glowing sparkly skin and Edward making fun of Jacob in general – because really, he just seemed to do the weirdest of things – it was probably the most peaceful moment the two of them had enjoyed in a long time

Once the sun had set they sat under the twinkling stars and continued their chatting about everything and anything that came to mind, easing each other's worries and concerns and congratulating each other on their recent successes and whatever else.

When it came to that one point in time, when the dew covered the grass and the mist was low on the ground they both stood up and stared at each other. This of course was the moment where Bella would be thinking he had run off to fuck the postman or something and the moment where Rachel was planning her brother's demise at missing her celebration at welcoming young Sarah-Rose into the world.

"I have to go, Rachel is going to kick my ass back overseas as it is, I was meant to be there. Goodness knows Rebecca is going to have a piece of me as well, I should have been there," Jacob frowned as he considered the creative ways his twin sisters would punish him and Edward chuckled but apologised.

That awkward silence came between them again and Edward leaned forward to kiss Jacob's cheek before the moment was gone. As they pulled back from each other with half lidded eyes their lips met each other this time and they enjoyed another breath taking kiss.

Short and sweet but still passion filled and carrying the emotions that they both couldn't say to each other.

"Well if anything I will definitely miss your lips Mr. Cullen, they have definitely served me well in the time they have been acquainted with my own," Jacob whispered cheekily, his eyes focusing on those pale but full beautiful lips. Oh how he would miss them meeting with his own.

But he still had the dreams and the memories and they were a whole lot better than having nothing.

Edward pulled his half wry smile and met Jacob's eyes, "Well Mr. Black know that they will be pining for you wherever you go and if a moment ever comes where it is possible, they will wait for you." Jacob's eyes widened as he understood the implications but then his brain caught up with his heart and he smirked and stepped back.

"Nice try vampy but you've tied the knot and spread your seed amongst the masses, this sexy beast doesn't want anyone's sloppy seconds." He laughed when Edward looked highly offended before he too laughed, understanding what Jacob was meaning by his words.

They weren't ever going to be allowed together and so they weren't to tempt each other. It was better that way,

But one hell of a cockblock!

Jacob took another step back to stop himself from running back and raised a hand in parting, "So long Fangy, don't be a stranger I guess the odd letter every half decade or so wouldn't be so bad. I'm sure you'll pick the minds of everyone to find out my address either way,"

Edward smiled sadly and nodded, holding his own dainty hand up in parting and putting it down as he watched the wolf, his wolf turn and walk into the misty darkness. He wasn't happy with the way that things had to be but he knew that he 'belonged' with Bella and Renesmee.

But he would keep contact with Jacob even if he had to pretend it was under the pretence of the bond between them. He turned around and his eyes widened as he saw Renesmee standing there by the tree he had hid behind when he first arrived. She smiled at him to show she meant more harm and his smile widened.

He might not have got the happy ending he wanted but he was pretty goddamned close and that was enough for him. Besides not everything lasted forever, he was sure he would meet the spunky wolf again and he wasn't so sure he would let him go so easily.

End.

So that's it, what did you all think? Bittersweet eh? with a hint of a possible sequel ... hahaha I'm not promising I have no idea what the story line would be like and I don't want to ruin a well recieved fic with something that will spoil it but i suppose if enough of you order it, my depraved mind will come up with something. I just want to say a huge thanks to everyone and seriousy it almost brings tears to my eyes the amount of support you've all given.

Extreme thanks to the following for reviewing, of course it will mean more to others who have reviewed nearly every chapter but you know how it is, I just want to pubically acknowledge those who have supported me, apologies for anyone missed out or whose penname I spell wrong:
