Oh, so much time had passed.

I sat down on one of the couches in the living room, as I looked at the beautiful Christmas tree in the corner. I took a sip from my hot chocolate, as I moved to look outside the window. It was dark outside, because of it being night. The stars were shinning and the moon was brilliant. Snow was everywhere, except in the driveway, that Edward had cleared out. Our guests could be here any minute, and everything was ready. Edward was upstairs getting dressed, after having taken shower- correction, after we had taken a shower. As I waited for him to come down, I thought back to all the things that had happened.

After having come back to Cairo, we found golden artifacts and lots of it, in the bags that were settled on the camels. I remembered exactly how that had went, and clearly remembered Emmett's reaction.

Flashback:

''God they're heavy.'' Edward sighed, as he carried two of the bags. Emmett had the other two, and Ben and I followed them into Carlisle's office. He was already there with Esme- and Rosalie as well, surprisingly.

''What do you have there, kids?'' Esme asked.

''No idea.'' I answered.

''HOLY F-'' Edward looked at Esme, and cleared his throat. ''I mean, uh...wow.'' He said.

''What is it?'' I asked, walking over to him. He fully opened the bag, he had put on the couch, where Emmett had put the bags he had been carrying, as well. I gasped, as I saw what was in it. ''It's-''

''GOOOOOOOOLD!'' Emmett boomed, jumping on top of the bags. ''Sweet, sweet gold! Now this is what I'm talking about!'' He shouted. He jumped up and grabbed Rosalie, kissing her. When he pulled away, she looked at him, shocked. He simply grinned. ''I've been wanting to do that. And even if you slap me, this is going to be the best day of my life.'' He said, before he jumped on top of the gold again.

''Oh, no you don't.'' Rosalie said, grabbing a hold of Emmett's arm and pulling him up. She fisted her hands in his shirt, before kissing him with obvious passion.

''Seems like Emmett got his happy ending.'' Ben laughed. Edward, Carlisle, Esme and I laughed along with him.

''Should we wait with telling him, that we'll be donating the gold to museums? We shouldn't ruins his happiness, right away, after everything he's been through.'' Edward whispered to me.

''Museums? Don't you want to sell it?'' I whispered.

''It's your decision.'' He grinned.

End Of Flashback.

Emmett had been close to tears, when we decided to donate all of the treasure to museums. We had let him keep some gold coins, though. There had been thousands of them, so we thought we could spare some. Emmett ended making a fortune on the coins. He made wise choices with the money he got from the gold, making smart investments. The thanks to that went to Rosalie, who he was now currently engaged to. They were living together in London, and were planning to have a spring wedding. The two were very happy together, and the relationship truly hadn't been a big surprise.

Rosalie moved away from Egypt, just a few weeks after her and Emmett got together. She left Egypt's Protectors, which did that Alice took the place as second in command. Rosalie was sick of her brother making the decisions, and was happy with being free from it. She got a job, and was now working as a high school teacher. She taught history, apparently knowing very much about that subject- and not only Egyptian history. She at times shared her adventure stories with her students, and she had complete control over them. They either respected, loved or feared her. She had transformed Emmett. Not completely, but he was better then before. He didn't steal anymore, but he would still get into trouble now and then. He had gotten himself a job, working in one of the museums, that mum often donated her treasures to.

As for our American friends.

We had offered Ben some of the treasure, as a thanks for all of his help. He refused to take any of the treasure, claiming that seeing Edward and I, happily together, was enough for him. I did introduce him to a friend of mine, though. Angela Weber. A young girl I had went to school with. She lived in a town, just a bit away from London. I thought they were both similar, in some ways, and I wanted them to meet. A romance quickly developed between them, and Ben had already informed us, that he was planning on proposing, soon. Angela had been thanking me the first couple of months of their relationship, saying she owed me, for introducing the two of them.

Sam had been on a plane back to USA, before any of us were able to get to talk to him. Seth stayed behind, though, wanting to say goodbye, before he left. We offered him some of the treasure, but he declined, saying that he only wanted adventure, not money. Apparently, his sister had been an adventure, and he wanted to follow in her footsteps. But after all that had happened, he wasn't much for neither. We still kept in contact though, and he came to be a close friend of ours. As Edward had promised, he took me to Chicago to meet his cousin. Edward had invited Seth, saying he wanted to say hi to him, while we were in the US. He also wanted Seth to meet his cousin, because he thought they were rather alike. Needless to say...

Flashback:

''Do you think she'll like me?'' I worried, as Edward parked Seth's car.

''Sure she will.'' Edward said, smiling.

''And you're sure I'm not in the way?'' Seth asked.

''Positive.'' Edward smirked. He had informed me, that he had a secret plan. He had recently talked with his cousin, and knew that she was still single. He thought she reminded him of Seth, and suspected that the two might hit it off, just like Angela and Ben had. ''Come on.''

Edward walked out of the car, and Seth followed. Edward had asked Seth if he could drive his car, wanting to see how good in shape it was. Seth had without hesitation let him. Edward walked over to my side, and opened the door for me. It was a bit strange, how they drove on the other side of the road, and that the wheel was on the other side, as well. I didn't mention it, though. I took Edward's hand and he helped me out. We both walked up to the house, and when Edward knocked on the door, I nervously started backing away from it. I had never seen nor met his cousin before, and I was very nervous.

''Hmm. Nice house she's got.'' Edward murmured.

''You haven't seen it before?'' I asked.

''No. When I moved to Egypt, she was still living at home. Oh, and, didn't want to tell you before, afraid you'd chicken out...my cousin invited her parents, to come over, while I was visiting.'' He told, as the door opened. My eyes widened.

''Edward!'' A voice exclaimed. I looked at the door, to see a beautiful young girl grinning at us. She had bronze hair, brown eyes and slightly pale skin. ''I haven't seen you in forever!'' She said, as she hugged Edward.

''It's only been three years.'' Edward chuckled.

''Only!'?'' The girl looked at him with clearly fake anger. ''Hey, you must be that girl my cousin has been going on and on and on and on about.'' The girl looked at me, letting out a small laugh.

''This is Isabella Swan. Bella, this is my cousin, Renesmee Pattinson.'' Edward introduced. ''Oh, and this is our friend, Seth Clearwater.'' He added, innocently, as he pulled Seth in front of him.

''Hi.'' Renesmee said, holding her hand out.

''H-h-h-hi.'' Seth stuttered, shaking her hand. Edward looked at me and winked, smiling smugly.

''Um, come in.'' Renesmee said, blushing, as she stepped to the side.

We all walked into the house. Seth walked beside Renesmee, as Edward and I walked behind the two. We followed into what looked to be a living room, where a couple were seated on a couch. One of them, a young woman, had brown hair, brown eyes and pale skin. She looked to be around her twenties. The other, a young man, looked much like Edward, but with some differences. The man had bronze hair, pale skin and his eyes were a mix of grey, green and blue. He looked to be around his twenties, as well. Renesmee looked very much like them, but they couldn't possibly be her parents. Edward told me, that Renesmee was 18 and that his aunt and uncle were 37- apparently, his aunt was pregnant with Renesmee right after high school. Meaning, when she was nineteen. But they got married when they were eighteen, something that you didn't see happening very often.

''You owe me 20 dollars, honey.'' The woman said.

''Bloody hell, Edward. You just had to find yourself a girl.'' The man chuckled. His accent sounded British.

''What did you two bet about?'' Edward chuckled.

''I said, you would surely come back before 5 years passed. And surely bring a girl with you. But you know him.'' The woman rolled her eyes, and nodded at the man beside her. ''He thought you wouldn't be back for at least five years, and no way would you be bringing a girl. Perhaps a boy, but not a girl.'' She laughed.

''I'm not gay!'' Edward sighed.

''Then who's that guy?'' The man asked, pointing at Seth.

''A friend.'' Edward wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me closely to him. ''And this is my girlfriend, Isabella Swan.'' He said. ''Bella, this is my aunt, Kristen, and my uncle, Robert.'' He gestured to the couple.

''You must be bloody kidding. Those two are suppose to be 37? They look like they're in their twenties!'' I exclaimed, before I could stop myself. I clapped a hand over my mouth, but all of them just laughed.

''Well, thank you.'' Kristen said.

''A British girl, I see. How do you do?'' Robert asked, standing up and holding his hand out to me.

''Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention. Bella, Robert's from London. He moved to USA with his parents, when he was 15.'' Edward told.

''A pleasure meeting you, Mr. Pattinson.'' I said, bowing my head.

''Call me Rob. All of my friends do.'' He said, smiling.

''Rob, then.'' I smiled back.

''I'm happy to see that my nephew has found himself a girl. We all at some point suspected him to be gay.'' He whispered the last, as if it was a secret. I laughed at that, while Edward rolled his eyes.

End Of Flashback.

Seth and Renesmee quickly got along. They had some time to get to know each other, while Edward and I were at Navy Pier. Seth moved to Chicago and into Renesmee's house, as the two attended medical school, both deciding to become doctors. We kept in contact with Robert and Kristen, as well. Both were a true delight to talk with. When we told them, how Edward and I met, and the little adventure that followed, quickly after, they were eager to listen. I lost count of how many times Robert said 'brilliant', when I mentioned things as, how Edward saved me, how I figured out where the Book of Amun-Ra was and other things as such. Emmett quickly became friends with Edward's aunt and uncle, as well. We visited them, very often.

Now, we didn't forget about Alice and Jasper, neither. Jasper didn't come to visit, but Alice did. She enjoyed her new title as second in command, and was helping Rosalie with planning the upcoming wedding- the wedding that was taking forever to plan, because it had to be absolutely perfect. Jasper never left Egypt, because his duty was there. But we still went to Cairo, to visit Carlisle and Esme. Whenever we did so, we also got a chance to see Jasper. Of course, Esme and Carlisle visited us as well. And they visited, because I no longer lived in beautiful Egypt, but in London with the love of my life.

And now to the end.

Edward and I were living in peace and happiness. Bembridge accepted my application, after hearing of my little adventure. I also had a library of my own, now. A very large one, as it was. And because of its size, I needed much help taking care of it. Help which I easily found in Edward, who worked with me. We hadn't given up our adventures, though. When we went to Egypt for visits, we at times took little trips to various of places, and looked for ancient artifacts. Those we didn't donate, we kept in the exhibit department of my library. I, more or less, designed it familiar to Carlisle's, with help from Esme.

Edward had been told some information by his aunt and uncle, after our wedding,- yes, we were married. When we went to Navy Pier, it wasn't only for a date. Edward decided to take me on the Ferries wheel, and when it stopped, and we looked over the sea, he whispered those two words, that had made me squeal with excitement.

Flashback:

''Oh, Edward. It's beautiful. This view is absolutely amazing.'' I said, as I looked over the city. It was now night, and the stars were shinning in the sky, along with the city. Edward was right, when he had said, that Chicago was beautiful at night.

''I like my view much better.'' Edward said. I looked at him, and he winked. I giggled, as I leaned against him. He wrapped his arms around me, and nuzzled my neck.

''You're so sweet.'' I sighed.

''Well, you're wonderful, Isabella. The cleverest, funniest and most beautiful girl I have ever seen. You're my life. My world.'' He said. I smiled and blushed at the compliment. ''Marry me.'' He whispered in my ear. My eyes widened and I looked at him, shocked.

''What?'' I asked. He lifted his hand and showed me a small velvet box. I took it, slowly, still slightly shocked. I opened it, and saw a gorgeous ring. It was gold. The face was a long oval, with rows of glittering diamonds. There was so many of them.

''Marry me.'' He repeated.

''Yes. Yes!'' I squealed, wrapping my arms around his neck. ''Edward, it's beautiful!'' I looked at the ring. Edward took it out of the box, and slipped it onto my finger. I squealed with happiness, which caught the other people's attention, much to my embarrassment.

''Hey, what's happening up there?'' A guy from under us asked.

''I just got engaged.'' Edward told the guy, leaning over the rail. I could hear two girls saying 'awww' from above us.

''Is she hot?'' The guy asked, his voice filled with humor.

''Gorgeous.'' Edward chuckled.

''Congrats.'' The guy said.

''Thank you!'' I said, though, I didn't look over the rail.

''That is so romantic.'' One of the girls, from above us, said.

''I wish someone would propose to me like that.'' The other girl sighed.

''You are so lucky.'' The first girl said, looking at me.

''I know.'' I said, grinning. ''Come here.'' I looked at Edward, beckoning him over to me, with my index finger. He grinned, as he leaned over and kissed me. Again, you could hear the two girls saying; 'awww'.

End Of Flashback.

Our wedding had been small. We only invited close friends and family. Emmett, Rosalie, Esme, Carlisle, Renesmee, Seth, Robert, Kristen, Angela and Ben. We invited Alice and Jasper, but only Alice could come. Alice and Rosalie- whom I had become very close friends with- had tried taking over the wedding. I let them in the end, after both promised that they would keep it simple and small. And it had been beautiful. The honeymoon, though, had been my favorite part. Edward and I decided to wait after the wedding, which wasn't much of a wait. But many times I found myself having trouble with keeping my eyes and hands off of Edward. And vice-versa. But we made it. The honeymoon didn't end when we came home, though.

Flashback:

''Edward, put me down!'' I giggled, when Edward lifted me up in his arms, after opening the door to our house.

''I don't think so. I believe it's tradition to carry the bride over the threshold.'' Edward chuckled. ''Besides, we'll be able to get up to bedroom, quicker.'' He winked.

''Can't argue with that.'' I grinned.

We had honeymooned in France. The city of love. We had been planning to visit as much of the country, as possible. But we ended up using most of our time, in our hotel room in Paris. When the two wonderful months were over, we just didn't seem to have had enough. We had kept kissing and teasing each other, on our way back home. And now that we finally got here, I could figure what we were going to do. Edward kicked the door shut, and ran up the stairs. Our house had two floors, and our bedroom was on the second. He was fast, so he quickly got to it. The door was already open, so he kept me in his arms, as he walked inside and shut the door, in same manner as before. It wasn't until he got to our bed, that he let me down.

''What are you planning to do, Mr. Masen?'' I asked, as I sat on the bed.

''I think you very well know, Mrs. Masen.'' He replied, with a growl.

I giggled, as he crawled on top of me. His lips caught mine in a passionate kiss, and his hands quickly went to my shirt. He quickly pulled it over my head. Our lips separated for only a mere second, but it was too long for me. My hands moved to his shirt, and I started unbuttoning it. I was thankful for the buttons, because then when I started taking it off of him, it easily just slipped off his arms, so we didn't have to break the kiss. I let my hands roam over his chest, feeling his muscles. He groaned and broke away from the kiss. He started laying kisses along my jawline, down my throat, before he started sucking on my shoulder, leaving a mark. I already had plenty of those, various of places on my body.

I moaned and returned the favor. I started kissing his throat, sucking at some parts of his skin. I spotted the mark I had left on his left shoulder, and laid a kiss on it. Edward pushed me down on the bed, and started unzipping and unbuttoning my jeans, before quickly pulling them off of my legs. He pulled back, and looked at my almost naked body. The only things left covering me, was my bra and panties. I fisted my hand in Edward's hair, and pulled him down for another kiss. I'd never get tired of kissing Edward. It was pure heaven. I felt a throbbing between my legs. I had had enough of foreplay. We had taken care of that, on our way home. I unzipped Edward's jeans and quickly popped open the button, before I ripped the jeans off of him. He kicked them off, chuckling at me.

''Impatient, are we?'' He teased.

''Look who's talking.'' I rolled my eyes. ''It seems my jeans have disappeared.'' I added, looking around the room, pretending to search for them.

''You won't be needing them, for what we're about to do.'' He smirked.

''Probably won't be needing this, either.'' I said, as I opened the claps on my bra, and threw it somewhere in the room.

Edward groaned, and captured my lips in another kiss. His hands went to knead my breasts, as his tongue licked my lower lip, asking for permission that I immediately granted. I moaned into his mouth, and arched my body off of the bed. He started grinding his hardness against my core. I broke away from the kiss, moaning and panting. Edward's hand went to pull my panties off, as my hands ripped his boxes down his legs. Edward inserted a finger into my core, and I moaned, loudly. He soon added another, increasing the pleasure. Edward had told me, that he was actually quite the pianist. And right now, his fingers were playing me like an instrument, creating sweet music.

''Edward.'' I moaned, leaning my head back. ''Please. Enough foreplay!'' I sighed with frustration.

He chuckled, as he pulled his fingers out. He positioned himself, and soon, I felt him fill me up, completely. I screamed his name. My legs automatically wrapped around his waist, while my hands went to his back, my nails digging into his skin. Edward hissed. First time I did this, he had reacted the same way, and I feared that I had hurt him. But he had reassured me, that he loved when I dug my nails into his back- he had said it was rather 'sexy'. He started thrusting into my core, going in deep. Our bodies seemed to fit perfectly together. I kept screaming and moaning his name, urging him to go faster.

He never failed to fulfill all of my requests. His mouth went to my neck, where he began laying kisses again. He started sucking on the sensitive skin under my ear. One of his hands kneaded my breast, while the other massaged my thigh. I was starting to sweat, and it felt like my whole body was on fire. My eyes rolled into the back of my head, when I felt Edward lick from my collar to my neck. I dragged my nails up and down his back. I sucked on his earlobe, then moved down to kissing his shoulders. I was nearing the edge, and he knew it. I was close. He started thrusting faster, which made me scream and moan louder. It wasn't long until I came, Edward following right behind me.

''Oh. God. Edward!'' I screamed.

''Fuck. Bella!'' He moaned. He pulled out of me, and we moved under the sheet on the bed. We both panted slightly, as we held each other.

''I love you.'' I said.

''Mmm, love you too.'' Edward whispered. ''If this is how life is gonna be from now on, I'm gonna love being married.'' He chuckled.

End Of Flashback.

Now, the detail Edward found out after our wedding, was that he was rich. Very rich. He had inherited a great deal of money from his parents, but had left Egypt before he could get his inheritance. He had told me, that he had completely forgotten that his parents had been quite wealthy. Emmett had been acting like his true self, telling me, that he had always loved Edward and that he always thought we belonged together. I made Edward promise, that he used his money wisely. And he did so, putting it in the bank. But at times he would spoil me, irritatingly enough. He bought the mansion of a house, that we lived in. New furniture's and gifts for me. When he offered money to be used for the library,- buying new books and such- was probably the only times I didn't argue, but actually accepted the money.

But, our marriage wasn't about his money- or, as he preferred, our money. It was about the love we shared, our happiness and the years to come.

''Love, can you help me?'' Edward asked, walking into the living room. He was fumbling with his blue tie, glaring at it. ''God, I hate this thing.'' He sighed. I put my cup on the coffee table, and walked up to him.

''Come here.'' I giggled. He let go of the tie, sighing again. I easily fixed it up, and tucked it into his dark blue suit. ''Don't you look handsome.'' I grinned.

''Yes, I do, don't I?'' He chuckled, making me roll my eyes. He took my hands, intertwining my fingers with his. ''You look absolutely stunning. Enjoying your Christmas gift?'' He asked, pecking my lips. He lot go of one of my hands, and made me do a little spin.

''I love it.'' I said, looking down at the blue dress he had bought me. It was elegant, slightly fluffy and simple. ''But it surely cost too much.'' I added, teasingly.

''Nothing's too expensive for my perfect wife.'' He grinned. He looked into the living room and laughed, quietly. ''You know, maybe we should just keep the Christmas tree out. We'll be needing it again, in 11 months or so, anyway.'' He said.

''You're so silly.'' I teased, just as the doorbell rang. ''How about doing something, instead of sitting on your lazy arse.'' I said, walking over to sit on the couch again.

''It's your ass too.'' He chuckled, winking. ''Besides, you're the one being lazy.'' He said, as he walked over to open the door.

''Eddie!'' I heard Emmett's voice exclaim. ''How are you, brother?'' He asked. I rolled my eyes.

''Good, good, Em. Come on in. Bella's in the living room.'' Edward said.

''It's the happy little wife!'' Emmett walked into the living room, wearing a black suit and a red tie, and grinning at me. ''And she's wearing a very nice dress.'' He said.

''Thank you, Emmett. Edward bought it for me.'' I said, laughing lightly. Rosalie came in after him, wearing an elegant red dress. ''It's the happy bride-to-be.'' I teased, smiling.

''Yes it is. And she's looking fabulous.'' Rosalie said, doing a pose, before she walked over to sit beside me.

''Yes she does.'' I laughed.

''Don't start the party without me!'' Renesmee's voice ordered, as she skipped gracefully into the room, wearing a lovely, silk, pink dress.

''Nes!'' I stood up and gave her a hug. Amongst the guests we had invited for the celebration, there was Renesmee and Seth. They were staying at Ben's and Angela's house- Ben had moved in with Angela, after they had been going out for half a year. ''How are your parents?'' I asked.

''They're enjoying their fifth honeymoon.'' She answered, rolling her eyes teasingly. ''They sent their best wishes, and says they're sorry they couldn't be here.'' She added.

''Nessie! Jeez, wait up, would you?'' Seth sighed, as he came into the living room. ''Hey, Bella. Looking good.'' He said.

''Thanks. You too.'' I said, looking at his clothes. He was wearing a black suit with a pink tie. It was an unspoken agreement, that the guys wore ties that had the same color, as the girls dresses.

''Nes got me the tie.'' Seth sighed again, rolling his eyes.

''We brought champagne!'' Ben exclaimed, as him and Angela came- Angela in a purple dress and Ben in a dark blue suit, with a purple tie. Edward walked over to my side, smiling.

Thankfully, the living room was very large. There was a big screen TV on the wall, a fireplace in the corner, three couches and a coffee table. For the holidays, there had come some additions. There was the oversized Christmas tree, that was fully and tastefully decorated. A mistletoe under the entrance to the living room- along with every other door in the whole house. There was light and bows and decoration figures and Santa's and so much more. Everything was bright, wonderful and just fantastic. And now that our guests had arrived- Esme and Carlisle sadly couldn't come, and of course Jasper couldn't either, which was the reason why Alice had declined the invitation, politely- everything was perfect.

''Let's sit.'' Edward said, gesturing to the couches.

I sat back down, and Edward sat next to me. Renesmee, Seth, Ben and Angela took up the second couch, and Rosalie and Emmett sat on the third. Emmett looked at the coffee table, where I had set cookies, chips and chocolate. He quickly snatched a bit of everything, making Rosalie roll her eyes. I had also set seven wineglasses. We had a bottle of wine in the fridge, but I expected at least one of them would bring something as well. I had suspected Emmett would bring something, though, but it seemed not even Rosalie could change his cheapness. Which actually wasn't a surprise, in all honesty. I doubted mum could even change him, if she was still alive.

''Anything new happening?'' I asked.

''I got a promotion at the office.'' Angela told, excitedly.

''Congratulation.'' I said.

''Yeah, congrats, Ang.'' Renesmee said.

''Thanks.'' She smiled.

''Oh, and Rose got a hilarious title by her students.'' Emmett laughed.

''What?'' I asked.

''Miss Bossy Booty Hotty.'' Rosalie rolled her eyes.

''Well, in a couple of months that'll be Mrs. Bossy Booty Hotty.'' I said, laughing lightly.

We kept on making light chitchat. At some point, Edward turned the TV on. They were already set up and ready, broadcasting live around the centre of London Eye. We had set Ben's champagne in a bucket of ice, deciding to wait with opening, till the right moment. We talked for a long time, about anything and everything. I hadn't seen Renesmee and Seth for a long time, though, we did talk on the phone, now and then. Angela was often busy with work, as was Ben, but we saw them now and then. Of course I saw Emmett often. He sometimes came over to the library and helped me out. Rosalie as well, when she wasn't busy with work.

''Countdowns beginning!'' Emmett exclaimed, excitedly.

''Yay!'' Renesmee beamed and ran over to the window, along with Angela. Ben got the champagne.

''Yo, Ben, maybe you should give that thing to Edward, so you don't poke anyone's eye out.'' Seth chuckled.

''I can open it myself.'' Ben rolled his eyes.

''Ben, darling, maybe you should give it to Edward.'' Angela said.

''I can open a champagne bottle!'' Ben sighed.

''I can open it.'' Emmett said.

''No!'' We all shouted.

''I'm getting the feeling that you don't trust me.'' Emmett murmured, narrowing his eyes at us.

''Okay, you know what. Fine!'' Ben handed Edward the bottle. ''You just go ahead and do it.'' He held his hands up in surrender.

''All set and ready?'' Edward asked, holding the bottle up. I turned the volume up on the TV. We all started counting down, together.

''10, 9, 8...''

I walked up to Edward, who was standing ready to open the bottle. Seth was looking at the TV, while standing by Renesmee, who was looking out the window. Angela was also by the window, grinning at Ben, who had walked over next to her. Emmett was practically bouncing in place, grinning and beaming. Rosalie was smiling at him, her arm intertwined with his. I wished Alice, Esme and Carlisle could have come. It would have made things complete. But no matter what, it was truly a time to celebrate. And celebrating with my best friends, my brother and my wonderful husband was more then good enough for me.

''5, 4, 3...'' We grinned at each other. ''2, 1! Happy New Years!'' We shouted together, just as Edward popped open the champagne, the liquid flying out and soaking his hands. We all shared kisses with our loves, as the fireworks filled the air.

''God, I'm gonna dry my hands off. Emmett, just start filling everyone's glasses.'' Edward said, walking out of the room. Emmett did just so, and everyone clicked their glasses together. I lifted my hot chocolate, that was still on the table, and used it to click with the others glasses, just as Edward came back into the room.

''Don't you want any champagne, Bella?'' Emmett asked.

''Emmett, it has alcohol in it.'' Edward said, rolling his eyes, as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

''Oh, right.'' Emmett said, sheepishly.

''Jeez, Em. Offering champagne to the pregnant lady?'' Ben chuckled. Emmett replied by sticking his tongue out at him.

''Do you think it'll be a girl or a boy, Bella?'' Rosalie asked.

''I think it's going to be a girl. But I don't care whether it's girl or boy, as long as it's Edward's child.'' I grinned.

''It better be.'' Edward said, growling teasingly. We all laughed at that, and I kissed Edward's cheek, as I leaned back into his warm body, putting my hands on his arms, that were still wrapped around me.

''Eddie, what do you say? Girl or boy?'' Renesmee asked.

''I hope to God it's a boy, but I think it's a girl, too.'' He sighed.

''Typical men.'' Rosalie rolled her eyes.

''Why do you hope it's a boy?'' Seth asked.

''Well, cause if it's a girl and she has a soul mate, life is gonna be a bitch when he comes into her life. And if he's her soul mate, I can't really do much to tear them apart, and the chances of me hating him are pretty big. And if she doesn't have a soul mate...then things will just get worse. There's the chance she'll be dating a lot.'' Edward groaned. ''Now, if it's a boy, that'll just make things so much easier.'' He said.

''Of course you would look at things that way.'' I rolled my eyes, as the others laughed.

''Will you be disappointed if it's a girl?'' Emmett asked.

''If she's as beautiful and wonderful as her mother, how could I be?'' Edward smiled at me. ''Worried as hell, and ready to shoot any guy who comes near her, of course. But not disappointed.'' He added.

''What if she's just as much of an danger magnet?'' Ben chuckled.

''Then I'll just have an excuse to lock her in her room.'' Edward shrugged.

''Not if I have a say in it.'' I said, narrowing my eyes at him.

''Thought of any names?'' Angela asked. Edward and I looked at each other, then looked at the others, smiling.

''Elizabeth.'' We answered in unison.

''Like your mother?'' Renesmee asked, looking at Edward. We both nodded, still smiling.

''It was Bella's idea.'' Edward told, looking lovingly at me.

''And boy's name?'' Seth questioned.

''We're pretty sure it's a girl.'' I said, confidently.

''Well, you'll just find out about that, when you get an ultra sound.'' Rosalie said.

''We've decided not to find out the gender.'' Edward said, with a shrug.

''Well, good luck with that.'' Emmett said, chuckling. ''But, Eddie, you know you won't be getting any for a long time, after that child is born.'' He added, laughing.

''I think that's my decision to make.'' I said. ''And I don't think it'll be a long time. I'd say two days, max.'' I teased.

''Two days? Do you know nothing about childbirth?'' Rosalie asked, raising an eyebrow at me.

''Hey, I got needs.'' I said, giggling, while Edward laughed.

''Don't I know it.'' He whispered huskily in my ear, making me blush.

''Hey! I don't want to hear about my sister's needs!'' Emmett exclaimed.

''And I don't wanna hear about my cousin's.'' Renesmee laughed.

''Okay, change the subject, then.'' I laughed.

''Alright. Seeing as we got champagne, we should make a toast.'' Emmett said, lifting his glass. We all picked up our glasses- I picked up my cup, of course. ''May the years to come bring me more money. And may Rosalie stay sexy.'' He said.

''I'll toast to that.'' Rosalie laughed.

''May I make a different toast?'' Edward chuckled.

''Sure. Try and beat mine.'' Emmett said, smugly.

''I want to wish us all luck for the future. May Rosalie and Emmett have a happy marriage. May Renesmee and Seth stay together forever. May Angela and Ben love each other for eternity. May Carlisle and Esme, even though sadly not here, continue to have an adventures life and stay safe. May Kristen and Rob enjoy their honeymoon.'' Everyone laughed at that. ''And may my beloved, beautiful and amazing wife and my future child, who I already love and adore, have all the happiness in the world.'' Edward said, in a soft and sincere voice, lifting his glass.

''Hear, hear!'' Emmett shouted. We all laughed, and everyone clicked their glasses together.

''Cheers.'' I said, as I clicked my cup with Edward's glass.

''Cheers, love.'' He whispered, putting a hand on my growing stomach, as he kissed my cheek.
