All characters are Stephenie Meyers. I don't own them I wish I did ;o)
This is the Epilogue. It is short like the prelude. I hope I did it justice. I will put a play list and hopefully that will help you in what I was doing when I was writing. This story has been done for a long time. I just took a while typing it.
Enjoy!
Here is the last little bit from the previous chapter.
An hour or so later the wolves left the hospital. An hour after that Renee was contained and was being helped by a few nurses. Renee was lost and was blaming herself for Bella's death. Esme had come to help her and so did Alice. Then they moved Bella. I quickly moved from my hiding spot and headed to the morgue. I made sure no one saw me or heard me. I got there before she arrived. I removed her from the table she was transferred too. I held her in my arms as she opened her eyes. Her beautiful brown eyes looked up at me as she blinked away the sleep. She didn't speak. She just watched me.
"Your free my love. You and I will be together forever."
That statement was the best thing for us. We were free, free to be together forever and always.

Epilogue
Edward and I watched as my coffin was placed into the ground. Alice was with Esme and they were trying to console my mother. I waited and watched her fall to the ground on the other side. I watched Jacob do the same thing. The crushing facial features of each of them made me almost re-appear. Both of them had treated me so differently yet very similar. They didn't respect my thoughts and my wishes. They may have wanted what was best but what was best was what I wanted. Never would it be them. I had made peace that I was dying to be with Edward. I knew I could not return to Forks until the wolves had disappeared. I hated to leave my home and the memories I had here but I knew I was going to have my forever, and that I was free to have it.
I pushed the thoughts from my mind as I stopped at the end of the isle. The past was the past. The present was now going to be my future and my future was standing here with me.
"I do..." I said so he could hear me.
"I do… forever." Edward said moments later.
I smiled at him. My bright smile just for him as he placed the ring on my finger. The cheers rang out behind that signaled the Cullen family was now my own. It was my small wedding that they were attending to. Small and perfect with a perfect, happy vampire couple that was free to spend the rest of eternity together.
My skin was as pale as his and my eyes just as golden. The stark white dress made my skin look even more white and pale than it had with the initial change. It had been a year don't you know. In one year I was freed from a mortal life, a life I was ready to leave behind. I was now a sister in a family I had claimed as mine from the start. I was a wife of an immortal. A sister and now a wife. The Cullen's you could say were complete.
"You may kiss your bride…." The priest said to the both of us.
We hadn't taken our eyes off each other. Not since I appeared at the top of the isle and reached the bottom. I didn't wait nor did Edward. It was finally our day. Our day to let loose and not hide in the shadows. We kissed an unbelievable long kiss that the priest had to "ahhm" us from. It was a perfect seal to a perfectly happy life we were starting. If I could have blushed again I probably would have.
"Well Mrs. Cullen where do you want to go now?" The sweet, angelic, handsome guy in the tux said with one of his famous crooked grins.
"Well Mr. Cullen, there is something I'd like to do but you will have to get it out of my mind first." I laughed and smiled at my family as I tore my eyes away from my new husband and forever. They pulled us down the isle and out into the darkness as we spilled through the doors.
"Mrs. Cullen…. You have very bad thoughts…." Edward said coming up behind me as I giggled. He held me close. I half expected my heart to leap from my chest at his touch but it was the past. I was immortal.
"Is that so…. What do you plan on doing about it?" I asked batting my eyes. I knew he could hear my eyes opening and closing as each word was spoken.
I picked up the edge of my dress and showed him some leg before reaching the limo that was waiting for us. I wanted to tease but I didn't have the heart to do it. I didn't have a beating heart but that didn't stop me. He came at me and playfully bit my neck in the same spot where he had before. I tossed my head back and turned myself to him before getting in.
"Forever Mr. Cullen?"
"Forever Mrs. Cullen."
I smiled at him. The same bright smile that hadn't left my face from the "I do's" that were spoken minutes before. My eyes were liquid gold as were his. He took me in his arms and I kissed him. Forever it would be……
Well what did you think?
I am sad. This is the last part of this story. It was one that actually hit home a little bit sooner than I would have thought. I was in the middle of typing it out and my friend lost her dad in the matter of a few weeks from a cancer that was unknown to him. So I had to stop typing for a while. I know you know who you are my friend and my heart will always be with you for that time. I know your healing and if I could change things I would just for you!
All thoughts would be much appreciated. I was hoping to have over 100 comments but that is not to be the case.
If you haven't read Truth go read it--- It is 9200 words for the first chapter but it is all human and the first chapter is in Edwards's eyes. I like it and it was begging to come out and be born. Please read and review that one too!
Please read and review. Let me know what you think!
