Big thanks to all my reviewers and readers who has been patiently waiting for this.

Well*deep breath* it's been nice, hope you enjoyed reading this story just as much as I love writing it. Now, the show must go on.

Disclaimer: My last final claim of "I Own Nothing" but please believe me if I could I would.

(Ed PoV)

I stared frozen in place just gazing into my Bella's eyes; so intense and passionate. I spoke volumes of her resolve. She truly believed she doesn't love. I shook my head to clear my thoughts and start heading towards her, ignoring everything but her. I don't see the audience, my family, the Volturi; I just see her hard honey glazed eyes. I step in front of her and can't help myself. I cupped her cheek in a soft caress. I hear a growl before I was ripped away from my love and thrown away from her crashing into tables that held papers and drinks backstage. Reality finally crashed around me and I immediately get up and crouch down ready to fight.

"Stay away from my mate" Demetri hissed, coal black eyes trained to my every move.

"Why?" I hissed back just as dangerously, "You turned her against me, what hope do I have now? She'll never come with me on her free will." I raise myself from my crouch slowly "I can't take her from you and expect her to be happy. I will never want her to suffer from my hand more than she already has…" I spoke softly; my voice almost broke as I looked past him and straight to my love who is now holding her small child.

Demetri too raised straightened himself out still looking at he like I was a threat. I could hear my family coming towards us running as fast as humanly possible. Humanly being the key word. My eyes never broke away from Bella as they reached my side and Demetri left to stand besides her taking Mary Jane to his arms.

"Edward…." warned Carlisle as I moved towards Bella. His warning fell on deaf ears as I took the few couple steps that separated us. I stood in front of her now taking her in for possibly the last time in a long, long time. Ignoring the growl that left Demetri, again I cupped her check in a small caress staring deeply into her eyes.

"Are you really happy?" I whispered so low that she would be the only one to hear.

(B PoV)

"Are you really happy?" he whispered so low that only I could here. I starred at the sorrow and melancholy in his eyes. I leaned in to his touch but responded forcefully but in the same low tone he used.

"More that I have ever been." I saw the sadness in his deepen, but I also saw acceptance. He gave me the same crooked smile that I fell in love with those many years ago, though it didn't quite reach his eyes and it held a bit of sadness to it.

"I guess that's all I can ever ask for" he whispered before leaning down and kissing my forehead. I close my eyes and accept his kiss.

"Please forgive me for all the damage I caused in your life" he said talking normal this time so everybody could here. "I really did it because I thought it was what was best for you. Never did I imagine that that small decision could affect you so much" He hugged me close and I couldn't refuse though I could feel Demetri's glare boring at the back of my head.

"You're forgiven" I say just as loud "but please, can you let me be?" I said stepping back to stare at his eyes. He nodded then broke away to stand in front of Demetri.

"You better love her like she deserves to be loved." Edward began in a hard tone "Worship her like the goddess she is and above all cherish the time you are lucky enough to stand by her side, for if you even make one mistake you better be sure that I would be in the shadows ready to swoop her back into my arms. Remember I will be in the shadows praying that you'll be stupid enough to make a mistake." Edward threatened glaring hard at Demetri ignoring the snoozing little girl that my love held in his arms.

"I will never make any stupid mistakes like you!" hissed Demetri back at Edward trying to keep his voice low so not to wake Mary Jane. Edward gave a hard nod before coming to me kissing my forehead again and slowly started walking out towards the exit.

The Cullens were silent while the watched the whole exchange but looked at Edwards retreating back with a sad wistful smile. Rosalie huffed and fallowed after Edward while Emmett swiftly trapped me in a huge bear hug whispering a "Catcha' later Bells" before following his mate.

"I think that's our cue to go" said Esme quietly while she and Carlisle came towards me and embraced me in tight group hug that was soon joined by Jasper and Alice.

I broke away giving them a watery smile. " Please take good care of yourselves and don't forget to keep in touch." I said hugging them again. I was really going to miss them. I considered them my family before I even met the Volturi. It's really hard to see them go again.

"Don't worry Bella" piped in Alice " I still have your number so we can go shopping in Italy whenever you're done with your tours." She smiled.

"Alice" I groaned rolling my eyes causing the Cullens to chuckle before separating from our group hug.

"Take care Bella" murmured Carlisle kissing my cheek and giving a fatherly hug while Esme did the same.

"Be sure that we will be keeping contact and will be seeing you again" added Esme before wrapping her arm around Carlisle's before heading towards the exit.

" Bye Bells we'll see you soon" grinned Jasper picking Alice up and throwing her over his shoulder like she was a sack of potatoes " If I know this little pixie I call a wife" Alice squealed and starting to protest before giving up and waving back at me enthusiastically.

I giggled and waved back making sure to make to make the little phone hand sign to Alice telling her to call me later. Alice gave me a quick nod before she disappeared through the exit door with the love of her life.

I leaned into my loves embrace when I felt his arm wrap around my waist. "It's over" he murmured into my hair.

"Yes it's finally over. Now we can walk the road paved before us with no regret or hesitations." I said looking up at him with a smile.

He leaned down and gave me a deep kiss before breaking away and resting his forehead against mine.

"Now we can start are forever no more expectations, no more obstacles, nor more regrets"

"Forever" I whisper back leaning up and kissing him again wrapping my arms around my little family. "Forever"
