[A/N] This is the last chapter for LMA. Somehow I still can't believe it's over now. Thanks and hugs to all those of you who never stopped encouraging me to continue this. The love and response I received for writing this story has touched my heart and I'm glad that you enjoyed the idea of this fan-fiction. It's nowhere near to be perfect but writing is a learning process and I still have to learn so much to become a better author.

***About Unbounded Moments**

Humans need about six months to prepare a wedding. Normal vampires needed about two weeks. As the term normal vampire isn't really fitting for the gorgeous girl who happened to be my fiancée, we managed to set up the whole event in five days. Alice was like a force of nature and it was absolutely impossible to stop her. Her caramel eyes sparkled full of excitement while she ordered flower arrangements and tons of other stuff I had never heard about.

She even insisted that we needed to have a cake although Esme and Rose reminded her that no one apart from Callie would be able to eat any of it.

"Breathe," I whispered into her ear when I hugged her tightly from behind. Outside the house it was starting to dawn and the dark sky turned from black to purple until it finally melted into different shades of warm orange colors.

A low chuckle left her throat before she turned her head and planted a soft kiss on my mouth.

"I'm just nervous," she murmured against my lips when she pulled back way too soon for my liking.

"About the Volturi? You don't have to be. I can shield you and the rest of the coven if they would decide to attack us."

"It's not them, I'm worried about the wedding in general. I want everything to be perfect. It means so much to me that you are finally going to be all mine officially."

I circled my fingertips down her cheekbones until I reached the corner of her full lower lip. It felt smooth like velvet against my fingers and when her tongue darted out to nudge against it a shiver when through my entire body. How was it was possible that I still felt so alive whenever she touched me?

"I have always been yours, always and you have always been mine, even when you were still the ebony-curled human girls with strange visions about the future. You and I, we were always meant to be."

A low crystal light giggle left her throat before she pressed her lips against mine, swirling her tongue between my parted mouth to touch it gently against the tip of my tongue. God, I wanted her, wanted her so much. There was nothing on this world I craved more than Alice, not even blood seemed that tempting to me.

Blood…

A shudder went through me and when my pixie-like lover noticed it she instantly pulled back from me.

"You are thinking about Emilia again, aren't you? Bella, my love, I told you over and over again that it's not your fault. No one is able to control La Tua Cantante."

"I know. Carlisle explained the whole thing to me too. Still, I wished I could come with you and him when you visit her. It's like I feel responsible for her."

"You can feel that too?" Melanie asked me, entering the room with Callie on her right hip. Slowly she twisted one of the little girl's curls around her pale fingers before she put her down again.

"Yes, I can. I don't know why it is that way, maybe because her blood calls to me."

"Definitely," Edward stated, kneeling down on the ground in front of Callie. She grabbed her hand around his finger, her tiny face turning into a crooked grimace.

"No, sweetie, we are not like you."

"What is wrong with her?" I asked him worriedly, pulling Alice on my lap to nuzzle my face into the spikey curls of her hair.

"She's starting to realize that we are different." he explained calmly.

"Her mind is constantly occupied with why we are so cold, why we never eat food like she does and all that stuff."

Rosalie rushed into the room, picking up her daughter from the ground in a movement that was way too fast for Callie's human eyes to capture it completely. Her heartbeat increased, making it thunder in my ears.

"NO ONE IS GOING TO TAKE MY BABY AWAY FROM ME – EVER!"

Callie started sobbing and I could even smell the saltiness of her tears in the airs when they rolled down her cheeks.

"Stop, yelling, Rose. You are frightening her." Alice told her reproachfully.

"Shhh, baby, please stop crying, Mommy didn't mean it like that. She's just worried that she's going to lose you."

She sat down on the edge of the couch and started rocking the toddler back and forth until the sobbing finally subsided.

I hated the thin lace veil that covered my face with a passion. It was so irritating to see the world through it, everything seemed so blurry and in a way it reminded me of what things had been like when I was still human. Hopefully I wouldn't stumble down on the way down the aisle. A stumbling vampire was probably even more irritating than a vegetarian vampire.

"Do I look halfway presentable?" I asked Melanie, when she adjusted the corset of my wedding dress a last time.

"You look lovely. Alice will be thrilled, I'm sure about that."

"Thank you. Also for helping me with the dress, I couldn't have done it without your help."

"You are welcome."

I cleared my throat nervously, taking a deep unnecessary breath through my open mouth before I spoke up again.

"I'm sorry that Alice and Carlisle are still keeping you away from your mom. It must be hard for you."

"Do me a favor and don't mention my mother. This day is supposed to be about you and Alice."

"But you still wish for her to be changed, don't you? Edward told us about that."

"One day, I'm going to rip his head off and hide it somewhere out in the woods for his constant mine snooping. I wonder how Riley manages to endure that the entire time."

"Maybe, he does because he loves Edward. Love makes us able to endure the strangest things."

"It does. And I'm sorry that I've given all of you such a hard time, especially Alice. She doesn't deserve that. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be here at all."

"You mean, because she changed you after the accident?"

"No, not that, if it hadn't been for Alice none of my family would be here. She saved my grandmother from the fire in her parents' house."

I nodded my head, feeling the tears that were unable to fall burning in my eyes.

"The fire because of that she was sent to that awful asylum where she…where they did all these horrible things to her."

"Jasper believes that everything happens for a reason. That Alice found him…that Edward found you and that everything what happened, needed to happen to bring the two of you together in the end."

"And you?"

"I don't know yet but I've read the letters that Alice has written to you while she was still human. They are so full of love and longing. I'm glad that she is going to get her happily ever after."

"It's not really a happily ever after when the two of us are going to live forever, but still…I'm blessed that I happen to be her mate."

"You are. I'm going to give you some privacy now…,"

"NO! DON´T YOU FUCKING DARE TO TOUCH MY CHILD!"

Both of us rushed down the stairs, swirling up the countless red and white rose petals that covered the entire ground in the house.

Alice's mouth curved into a smile when she saw me and I hated the crimson eyed intruders for having ruined that moment when she would see me in my wedding dress for the first time. It had been so important for me to surprise her with that, if it was possible to suppress a psychic at all.

"Oh there comes the second bride – ammaliante. Are you sure that you aren't regretting giving that up, my dear Edward?"

Edward sighed deeply, placing one hand on Riley's shoulder.

"You've read my mind when you took my hand…didn't that answer all of your questions?"

"Partly, my dear friend, now back to this unforgiveable mistake your sister made when she decided to adopt a human child. Seriously, have you forgotten about the laws we set to secure the safety of our existence?"

"What our family chooses to do or not to do is nothing of your damn business!" Melanie snarled at the ruby eyes Italian with the slick, almost greasy seeming hair that was pulled into a tight ponytail.

"I assure you that everything that happens in the world of vampires is our business, signorina. Hasn't your coven leader told you about us? He is supposed to…,"

"Carlisle did tell me who you are. In fact all of my family have told me about you, warned me. But now that you have come here, I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed. You don't look half as intimidating as they made you seem. I'm not scared of you."

"Maybe you should be. Consider yourself warned, the Volturi don't offer second chances."

"Don't you dare threatening her," Jasper growled angrily trying to pull the blonde haired girl behind him in an attempt to protect her. A moment later a wave of peaceful calmness spread through me and the others. Alice sighed and twisted her dainty fingertips around a tiny silk rose on the hem of my dress.

"You look beautiful." she whispered, leaning forward to pull the veil off of my face.

"Now, you are perfect, my angel."

"Remarkable…how your ability to control emotions brings calm into this family. I really could need a bit of that in Volterra."

"Jasper isn't considering joining the guard. You should better let go of that thought immediately." Edward stated as soon as he saw the picture in Aro's head.

"Yes, you should…none of us is ever going to join your creepy group of vampiric moralizers."

Aro raised one eyebrow in confusion.

"Why is she still so agitated?"

"My ability isn't working on her. She's a shield."

"I see. Now back to Rosalie's tantrum with the little human child. I'm not asking for the child to be killed. That won't be necessary considering the fact that she's still too young to remember. Just give her back to some human foster parents or something close to that."

"We are not going to give Callie away." Emmett stated, wrapping his arms around his quivering wife.

"We'd rather die."

"If you so wish…," the dark-haired vampire mumbled, an evil smile flashing over his chalk white face.

"Leave them the fuck alone! What we do in this family is none of your business. Callie isn't going to tell anyone what we are."

When the first words of my wedding vow came out of my mouth they were nothing but a whisper, probably unable to be heard by human ears. Then with every single syllable my voice got louder, growing more confident while I spoke.

"I love you, more than my own life and I will be thankful for the rest of forever that I was chosen to be your mate. It's because of you that I know who I am and with you I was always supposed to be. You complete me. I promise to protect you and stand by your side from this day forward, my beautiful, wonderful wife."

I shoved the delicate wedding band up her ring finger, knowing it would stay there until the metal would finally crumble into fine golden dust as time goes by.

Alice took the ring that was destined to end up on my own hand between her delicate fingers. Her words carving into my heart when she spoke up in a light crystal like voice.

"My beloved Angel, words aren't even capable to express how much your love means to me. It's because of you that I feel whole now. You are the one who brought me back to the human girl I used to be. I loved you before I met you and I will always do so, for today, for tomorrow and for all the days that will come after that. I love you so very much, with all of my heart."

Her fingertips trembled when she put the ring on my finger. Then, slowly I leaned down and planted a kiss on her full, velvety lips. My tongue slipped into the cool sweetness of her mouth, letting me taste her and nothing but her. I didn't want this moment to end ever. What if the two of us just remained right here where we were now and never pulled back from each other's mouths again?

Eventually we would have to but hopefully not too soon. This was the beginning of our forever, our eternity and I was going to savor every single second of it. Maybe this moment alone had been the reason I had been brought into this world. I had always been destined to be loved by her and to love her in return. Instinctively I gasped for air, breathing in her scent as deeply as possible, feeling it spreading through my entire body and soul. Her love consumed me, swallowed me and made the world around us vanish into a chaotic nothing. We would deal with that later. There was a woman sitting in a cell like room waiting to be changed by a blond haired doctor tonight and a human toddler who needed to learn to keep an almost impossible to keep secret.

In this moment though, while her mouth almost seemed to dance in perfect harmony with mine, none of these things mattered. All that mattered was loving Mary Alice and I was planning on doing so until the very end of eternity.

**The End**
