A/N: OMG, I'm so sorry! I wrote this chapter AGES ago, but I FORGOT to upload the document in FF! And yesterday, I looked through my account and through my stories, and then I noticed that there was still this chapter missing… Sorry for keeping you waiting. This is the last chapter (epilogue). ENJOY!
Disclaimer: don't own.
That's what happened in chapter 21:
"See you tonight, darling." Jacob said pointedly to me. He gave a tender kiss and Alice a death glare.
"I'll make steak – the French way." I laughed. "The way you like it."
"Oh great. Can't wait." Jake said eagerly.
I gave him a last wave and went on my way with Alice, Eph and Riley.
But there was one thing bothering me… Eph… how could they call him Eph? It's Ephraim.
On with the story:

"You know, I'm so happy, I am allowed to plan his wedding." Alice said. She was being her usual hyper self, jumping up and down on my bed.
I laughed. "If you plan the wedding as perfect as you planned mine, I'm sure, he'll love it."
Alice gnawed nervously on her lips. "I will see to that. It's a pity that you can't come."
"Yeah, but it would be very unhealthy – especially if there are other human blood- drinking vampires."
"Exactly. That's the reason he didn't invite you, although he wanted you to be there." Alice said earnestly.
"Mum?" a small dark haired boy entered the living-room, smiling brightly at Alice. "Can I have some cake, please?"
"Why don't you wait until Daddy and granddad are home?" I asked him good-naturedly.
"But I am hungry NOOOW." he whined.
"Don't worry, it won't be long." I tried to calm him down.
I had prepared an American cheesecake, because apparently that was Charlie's favourite. However, no one was here yet, except Alice who didn't eat food anyway. I had already laid the table and of course, Ephraim was desperate to eat. He was so like Jacob in this respect.
"Oh mum." Ephraim gave me a children's glare and stalked out of the room.
I turned back to Alice, processing what she had just said. "Sooo…Where were we? Now did I get that right? He wanted to invite me? To his wedding?"
"Of course, Bella, silly." Alice rolled her eyes and laughed. "Why not? You played a big role in his life."
I, however, didn't laugh; I actually felt close to tears, but swallowed them noisily. I had absolutely no idea, why I wanted to cry, though. It confused me.
"Didn't you say, you've always wanted to go to a vampire-wedding?" Alice asked, wrinkling her perfect forehead. "You can go to Jasper's and mine. We are going to get married next June. AGAIN." Alice grinned. "And I promise you there won't be any human blood drinkers at my wedding."
I nodded weakly and smiled in thanks. "But Alice, back to what you said. WHY did I play such a big role? I mean, I'm just a human girl."
"Oh, Bella. Edward likes you. Why wouldn't he want to have you at his wedding to Tanya?"
"Because I'm his ex. I didn't invite him to my wedding either." I growled out.
"Hey, Bella, hey Eph." Jacob was standing in the doorway, in all his beauty, grinning at me and Eph who was now running into his arms.
"Hey Jake." I said unenthusiastically. Jacob was still sore about the Edward-topic and he and his stupid werewolf hearing had probably listened in on Alice's and my conversation.
"How far are the wedding plans for your bl- uhm brother?" he asked, turning to Alice who pretended not to have heard his sarcastic remark. The members of the pack still didn't want anything to do with vampires, although Alice, Riley and Carlisle were allowed to visit from time to time.
"Going okay." Alice said clearly and smiled. "I gotta go now; Angela invited, Jasper, Riley and me for tea. She baked something , because they have something important to tell us."
"And knowing you and your abilities, you already know." I concluded.
"Sure." Alice flashed me a smile.
Holding a can of soda, Jacob sat down next to me, putting his arm around my shoulders and looked questioningly at Alice. "And what is it?" he asked, now positively intrigued.
"They are getting married." Alice grinned.
My mouth dropped open. "Really? But they are still so young…"
"Yeah." Alice looked from Jacob to me and from me to Jacob with a significant look. "You got married last year." she reminded us.
"Yes, but still… Riley and Angela." Jacob said shaking his head. "She is human and he is… well neither a prisma, nor a human nor a vampire any longer. It can't be healthy."
Alice nodded in understanding. "Yes, we have absolutely no idea what to do, but Carlisle said that if he really loved Angela, he can marry her. Oh and I guess, he is going to tell her everything about our world pretty soon – tomorrow in fact." Alice pulled a face. "I like Angela, I hope, he doesn't scare her away."
"Can't you see that?" Jacob asked with a frown.
"No, not until a decision is being made." Alice took her bag and stood up. "Gotta go and EAT something." she pulled a tortured face.
Jacob looked at her curiously "What are you going to do?"
"I will either hide the food somewhere or I'll eat a bit and then try to vomit it out."
"Ugh, disgusting." little Eph said, who had heard every word.
"I'm sorry, Eph." Alice smiled brilliantly. "One last hug, before I leave?" Alice asked, holding out her arms wide open and Ephraim didn't need to be asked twice. He jumped up and leaped into her arms. "We'll see each other tomorrow." Alice promised him.
"Bye Bella, bye Jacob." Alice said, after putting Ephraim back down on the sofa. "Have fun with your fathers."
With a trilling laugh, Alice ran away.
Jacob laughed wholeheartedly. "She is a bit crazy, isn't she?"
I laughed with him. "She's Alice."
