Epilogue: Time Will Tell

BPOV

2 Years Later

If someone where to approach me three years ago and tell me I would be happily engaged and being a mother to two beautiful little girls, I would have laughed in your face. I never thought it was possible to be this happy. I have my family, my friends, healthy kids…what more could I want.

If the last two years since the newborn attack have taught me anything, it's that blood relation doesn't make a family. It's the love and support that you give one another. Excepting each other no matter what your species is in our case. I would not trade my family for anything.

Since the newborn fight, life has been moving at a mile a minute. Babies and wedding planning and just life in general. Everything I've been doing for the last two years was for this moment in time. My wedding. Finally completing my family was what I've been looking forward to since the twins were born after the guys proposed to us.

Leah ended up going into labor right after the twins were born. Hers didn't seem to go as fast as mine did and Mike was catching the brute of it. He took it all in stride though. She actually punched Quil at one point when he made a crack about her threat towards Mike for no sex. The guys decided to stay out of the room after that.

About six hours after her water broke, her and Mike welcomed Joshua Harry Newton into the world. He had Mikes' bright blue eyes that had so much depth, even as a newborn you could get lost in them. He also had a full head of Leah's jet black hair that gave Edwards messy array a run for his money. He was only a few days old and was already as stubborn as his mother.

Seth was amazing with Trinity. Since day one he rarely left her side. It took Paul a couple weeks to warm up to the whole idea of his precious little one being imprinted on. His acceptance of the weird Edward Madison connection took a little longer. He thought that Edward was going to somehow defile his baby.

That situation in itself was strange. The way Edward described it is similar to that of imprinting. He just feels the need to protect her. Like there is a pull between them and he only wants the best for her. Madison is so smitten with him even at her young age. It's so weird but I'm oddly relieved. Relieved that Edward has someone to keep his mind off things. Help him move on. But Paul is still a little apprehensive about it but he's coming around.

The girls are getting so big. They absolutely love their Aunt Rose. She came over and helped me for the first few months until we got the hang of things. The girls loved to gang up on poor Josh. He just took it in stride though. He loved to hand with his uncle Seth and Emmett. Madison gravitates towards Alice a little I think, because she's like a giant kid.

Trinity likes to just lay back and chill with Jasper. I remember walking into the Cullen's house one day after the girls turned one and finding Trinity and Jazz in the same position on the couch watching 'Hercules'. Jazz was leaning back on the arm of the couch with his feet stretched out in front of him with his arms behind his head. Trinity was lounging against his chest in the same position. Arms and everything. It was really too cute.

All the kids loved to gang up on Emmett, Quil and Embry. Josh was a tough little guy. He put up a good fight when the boys would block his attempts. The best time was when Emmett was holding him by his feet and Josh reached out and poked him in the eye. Thankfully, Quil caught him when Em dropped him. The girls loved to pull hair. We would spend hours laughing in the backyard.

The rest of the wolves were doing well. Quil imprinted on a little girl named Claire. He is too cute with her. Her birthday is right before Madi and Trinity's so we decided to have a joint birthday this year. It was a Disney Princess theme. All three girls were dressed up as a princess. Claire was dressed as Belle from beauty and the beast. We all had a good laugh with the whole beast part. Quil didn't find it too amusing.

Trinity wanted to dress like Princess Aurora. She looked absolutely adorable in her costume. We had went and purchased the really authentic ones online. Shoes, tiaras and everything. Madison decided to be Cinderella. She really was the biggest princess out of all three of them. The girls made the guys dress up as the corresponding prince which led to more laughing at Quil.

We let him get away with dressing up as the human prince in the movie. Alice made his Costume since there really weren't any in the stores. Edward looked completely smashing as Prince Charming. Seth was adorable as Prince Phillip. Complete with feather cap and all. The whole day was amazing. We danced and ate. Playing dress up with the rest of the guys was quite hilarious. Yes, plenty of pictures were taken don't worry.

Papa Carlisle and Mama Esme surprised the girls with a carriage ride around the local park. All in all the party was one of the best I've been to. Joshua felt left out but really wanted a baseball themed party. While Leah and I stayed at home with the rest of the girls getting his party ready, the boys all went to a mariners game in Seattle. Charlie and Billy were in heaven!!

Charlie and Sue got married in a very small ceremony on First Beach about a year ago. The ceremony was simple and beautiful. I couldn't be happier that they found each other. My dad is finally happy again. Leah and Mike decided to elope in Vegas when Josh was about nine months. Totally saw that one coming. I actually had an interesting visit from her about five months ago.

*Flashback*

I had just got home from dropping the girls off at the Cullen's for the day when my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey Belly. Can I come by? I wanted to talk to you about something." I was quite curious as to what she had to tell me that couldn't be done over the phone.

"Yeah come on over. The kids are with Jazz, Rose, and Edward so we're good." She said thanks and said she'd be right over.

It was about ten minutes later when there was a knock on my door and Leah walked in. She had a huge smile on her face and gave me a hug and kiss on the cheek.

"Hey LeLe what's up?" We went and sat in the living room on the love seat. She turned to me and was fiddling with her jacket sleeve.

"Oh just spit it out already. You're making me crazy." She let out a small chuckle and let out a sigh.

"I'm pregnant. I'm worried about what Mike is going to say." She started to cry and I pulled her into a hug.

"It's okay Le. I'm sure he'll be over the moon. Congratulations." She stayed for a bit longer and then left to tell Mike. I hoped he was okay with it.

*End Flashback*

He was of course extremely happy with it. Let's just say Joshua stayed over at our house for a few days. I was really happy for them. The pack gave her a hard time at first but Jake shut them up. Jacob. He and Angela are still as cute as ever. After Jake finished high school, he and Ang set a date for their wedding. They were getting married in early spring next year in March. That was only five months away.

Embry was still as ornery as ever. Him and Em were a dangerous duo. Constantly in trouble with Esme for breaking something or being to loud when playing video games. Collin and Brady fit right into our group. Crazy as it was. They had enough energy to surpass the rest of the guys. They kept everyone on their toes that's for sure.

Sam and Emily got married finally and are expecting their first baby. He stepped down as alpha at the beginning of this year, giving it to Jake who chose Paul as his beta. Paul was speechless when he was asked but excepted it and took the job seriously. Most of the time anyways. Let's face it, it's Jake and Paul.

Jared and Kim were engaged now and planning their wedding for next summer. Yes it was going to be a busy year in La Push next year. Alice was beyond thrilled though. She insisted on making all the gowns herself for all the weddings. Esme was helping her and couldn't be happier to have so many "kids" to look after.

Paul and I you ask? Well there's a reason I'm sitting here going down memory lane in white under garments and a bath robe letting Alice attack me willingly with a curling iron. It's our wedding day!! It's been a long time coming and I couldn't be more thrilled. There were only three more hours before I would finally become Mrs. Paul Long. I was bouncing in my seat with excitement which earned a smack from Alice.

"Ow! What was that for?" She was almost done with my hair. Thank God. Seth, Edward and Mike were entertaining the kids while everyone else was putting the finishing touches on the house.

"Quit moving or I'm going to burn you. Geez Bella I'm almost done." She was now shaking her head at me. I just sighed and sat back.

"Where did you go anyways? You were spacing for awhile." I just smiled at her.

"Down memory lane. Thinking about the last couple years. So much has happened but I wouldn't trade any of it for the world." She smiled down at me and finished the last curl. Rose came up next to do my makeup.

Today was a little sad though. My mom never got over the whole being a teenage mother thing and never talked to me again. It made me sad at first but then I just got mad. It was her choice whether or not to be in Trinity and Madi's lives and she chose not to be. I had Esme to fill the void. I mean it still stung a little but it was her choice.

Just as Rose was putting the finishing touches on my makeup and heard the sound of little feet running down the hall with loud ones right behind them. The door burst open and in ran three giggling two year olds and three giant buffoons. Esme stood up at the door and just stared at them. All six of them halted where they were. She gave them the 'mom' look and they turned around and walked off with their heads hanging.

"Someone needed to get a picture of that. Oh my Carlisle that was too funny." I was doubled over laughing so hard that I was starting to tear up.

"They should be getting ready anyways. I'm going to get the kids dressed and hurry the boys along. Men. I'm not sure how they would survive if it wasn't for us." Alice headed out the door shaking her head.

"How are Leah and Ang doing? They ready yet?" It was getting closer to that time and they were in another room getting ready.

"They are and once we get you in your dress we're going to go ahead and get the pictures of the bridal party done." I nodded my head and stood to go to the closet and change.

I took off my bath robe as Esme carried over my dress. Rose helped her slide it on so I didn't ruin my hair or make up. Luckily I was able to just step into it. I pulled it up and Esme zipped and buttoned the back. Rose brought over my veil and pinned it into my hair and let it just flow down my back. When they were done I turned and looked in the mirror. I let out a gasp. That can't be me.

My hair was in lose curls all down my back only pinned up on each side. The dress was a beautiful Carmeuse halter gown that criss-crossed in the back leaving it completely bare until right at my butt. The top looked almost pleated where it covered my breasts and had a low v cut to right at the empire waist band.

The waist was covered in crystal beading just under the bust line. The dress hung fairly fitted until just around the knees where it started to flair out and form the train at the back. It wasn't tight like a mermaid style but loose and flowy. It was perfect. Simple yet elegant. I looked back at Esme and Rose who would be crying if they could. Just then, I heard two more gasps.

I turned to see Leah and Angela walk in all ready in their bridesmaid dresses. I made sure the style would look good on Angela's slim figure and Leah's obviously six month pregnant one. They were both made of chiffon and came to just above the knee. The main color of the dress was a dark midnight blue and crème accents.

They were spaghetti strapped with a sweetheart shaped top in the crème color that had a crystal brouch in the center that pulled it into a gather. Flowing down the front also in the crème color was two thick strips of the chiffon. The bottom of the dress from the bust line down was the blue and I flowed freely fitted slightly at the waist. There was a small piece of dark blue tool that peeked out of the bottom all the way around.

The dresses were paired with dark blue peep toe heels that were about 3 inches high. They were each wearing the necklaces I bought them as a gift that said sister forever and had our names on the back. Their hair was in lose curls pulled up into elegant pony tails. They looked perfect. We all hugged and had to get our makeup retouched before the pictures.

"Belly you look amazing. I can't believe you're finally getting married. I'm so happy for you." Angela was starting to get teary again. Rose ran to the rescue.

"Oh no you don't. Let's go take pictures before you start the water works again." We all nodded and headed to take our pictures.

We went by where the kids were getting ready so they could be in the pictures too. Madi and Trinity were going to be the flower girls and Josh was going to be our ring bearer. The girls looked so cute in their little crème colored dresses with a blue bow tied around their waists. Josh was in a little suit with a blue bow tie.

After what seemed like hours but was really only one, it was time to get married. We were having the wedding at the Cullen's house and an outside reception. Alice and Rose left to go make sure the guys were ready and in place. This was it.

My dad came in just before it was time and instantly started to cry. He told me how much he loved me and how proud he was.

"I love you daddy!" I hugged him tight.

"Don't let me fall." He let out a chuckle and released me wrapping my arm around his.

"I love you baby girl. I'll never let you fall." He kissed my hand just as the doors opened for us to walk through. My eyes were only focused on one thing and one thing only. Paul.

I knew that moment that our eyes met that come what may, we would always be together. Only time would tell what obstacles would greet us but we would meet them together. I made it to the end of the isle without tripping thankfully. My dad kissed me on the cheek once and then handed me to my forever.

"Cherish her Paul." He gave a nod to Paul and went to sit down.

"I always have sir." Paul took my hand as we faced the preacher. I've said it once and I'll say it again. In his eyes, I am home.

"Dearly Beloved…"

The End!!(Please read the author's notes...good info in them)

I'm not going to start posting it until after I get pretty into my new story but Bella and Paul will make a return. My new story will be a Bella/Quil fic. I know it's a weird combo but trust me. it's good. Please add me to your author alerts. I really hope you all stick with me. Now there are some people i have to mention:
