Epilogue # 3

~ Edward and Bella ~

She was a girl who didn't have the best life growing up. She was let down by everyone in her life. She had no choice but to grow up at a very early age and take care of herself. She went through things that no young girl should ever have to go through, but in turn she became a strong independent woman. Just when she thought her life meant nothing, love came walking though a door and proved her wrong.

He was a boy who lived a life filled with love and privilege. His parents provided for him and supported him in everything he did. He was loved by all who knew him. He had a good heart and wanted to help people. He became a doctor and made a life for himself. He always felt something in his life was missing, but with the opening of a door, he soon discovered what that something was.

One day in June, this girl and that boy's lives would collide, and life as they both knew it would forever be changed. They would discover that when you least expect it, when you need it the most, love has a way of finding you.

They would be the love of each other's lives. They would help each other discover what true love really is. They would give their whole selves to one another. They would get married. They would have two healthy kids with plans for a third. They would love each other for the rest of their lives.

"You came around."

"What?" he asked her.

"That night, ten years ago, you came around and changed my life forever."

"You changed mine too," he said, pulling her into her his arms and kissing her like he always did... with so much passion. His kisses never tired her. "That night will always be one of the best in my life, and to think I didn't want to go when Garrett told me his plans."

"I never told you that I almost didn't go to work that night," she said. "I wasn't feeling well, had a migraine all day... but at the last minute, I decided to go in."

"Wow, can you imagine if you didn't go to work or if I told Garrett I wanted to go somewhere else?"

"No," she stated quickly. "I can never imagine my life without you. I can't imagine my life without our children."

Their kids were the light in their eyes. Ella was seven years old and every bit the girly girl. She was a sweet little thing who loved her mommy and daddy, but who also loved her little brother. Masen was four years old. He was the spitting image of his father, with the same out of control copper hair and the same tender nature. He was in awe of his big sister; he followed her everywhere, and missed her when she was in school. Their bond was so special.

"You are just as beautiful as the day we met," he said, "and sexy as fuck."

"Even two kids later?" she asked.

"Especially so," he said, lowering her on the bed and lifting her shirt over her stomach. He leaned down and placed a kiss over her scar from her c-section.

Masen's birth wasn't as smooth as Ella's. He had gotten a little stuck on his way out, so Bella needed to have a c-section. That part went well and Masen came into the world screaming.

Bella looked at her husband who was now 40 years old. He was still every bit as handsome to her, even with the bits of gray that had formed on his sideburns. He was still as sexy as he was the day she met him, when he captured her heart from across the room. She ran her hands through his unruly hair as he hovered over her. She loved this man more than her whole life.

"You still want to have another one?" Bella asked.

"I think one more would be perfect," Edward replied. "We always talked about three babies. Unless... you've changed your mind?

"No, no," she said. "I'd like one more."

"Good, baby number three it is. Since the kids are still asleep, I say we should get started on trying." Bella didn't protest as Edward started to pull down her panties, but then their bedroom door flew open. "Shit," Edward hissed, trying to pull Bella's panties back up.

"Mommy, Daddy? Are you awake? We're hungry," Ella said, charging into the bedroom with Masen in tow, along with the family dog, Jake. Ella had gotten the puppy she always wanted. Jake was a Golden Retriever who was always where the kids went. When Masen was born, Jake slept in the doorway of his nursery for months. He was a great family dog.

"Forgot to lock the door again?" Bella said to her husband with an 'oops' look on her face before focusing her attention on her kids. "Hungry, huh? Well good morning to both of you too."

"Can we have pancakes please, Mommy?" Masen asked.

"Pancakes?" Edward repeated and then grabbed both kids, tossing them on the bed and tickling them. "I'll give you pancakes."

"Daddy, stop!" Ella screeched with a fit of laughter while Masen giggled from his father's tickle attack. Jake started barking, wanting to join in on the fun.

"Okay, okay, come on, let's give Mommy a minute and go downstairs to let Jake out and set the table." Edward got off the bed, pulling a t-shirt on and adjusting his sleep pants. He guided the kids out the door, but not before looking back at Bella. "We will continue baby making later."

Bella grinned and fell back on the bed. She was definitely looking forward to some baby making with her husband. Sex with Edward was nothing short of amazing. Even after almost ten years of marriage and two kids, it only got better and better. Ever since the first time back in the condo, whether they were making love or downright fucking, it was always based on love, and therefore mind blowing.

~*yCa*~

Bella moved around the house, trying to get things just right for when her husband came home. Alice and Jasper had taken the kids for tonight, giving her the perfect opportunity to plan a romantic evening for two.

She opened the oven and removed the pan of homemade lasagna, and while it cooled, she tossed the salad and poured the wine. She was dressed in a short black skirt and a green tank top. Her feet were bare and her hair was tied up in a messy bun. Everything was set; all she needed was her husband.

When he came in the front door, still dressed in his navy blue scrubs, Bella grinned. Edward still looked damn sexy in his scrubs, and seeing him liked that still, to this day, had an effect on her.

"Something smells good," he said, coming in the kitchen. "And you look really good. Damn, baby, what's the occasion?"

"Your sister was kind of enough to take the kids, so I thought we'd have a nice quiet dinner at home."

"That sounds wonderful," he said, raising a wine glass to his lips for a sip. "So, we're all alone tonight?"

"We are," she replied. She smiled when he grinned at her; she knew what was on his mind. "But first, we eat."

"Okay," he agreed.

Bella served dinner and Edward devoured his meal. He loved his wife's cooking. She even gave his mother a run for her money.

"Dessert?" she asked.

"I thought you were dessert?" he asked.

"All in good time, but first I baked a cake."

"Wow, well then, bring on the cake."

Bella brought the chocolate cake she had made over to the table and set it in front of Edward.

He looked at the delicious dessert and then he quickly looked at Bella. And then back down at the cake. There were words written on the cake and he wanted to make sure he was reading it right.

Cullen, party of 5

"Yeah?" he asked, looking up at her again with his green eyes wide.

"Yeah," she confirmed.

"Seriously?"

"Yes, seriously."

"You're sure?"

"Edward! I'm sure."

"Baby number three?"

"Baby number three is on the way," she said, sitting on his lap.

"Damn, I'm really good at knocking you up," he said, nuzzling her neck and holding her close.

"Yes you are, but this is it, no more knocking me up after this one," she said, kissing him. "But that doesn't mean we have to stop having fun."

"I should hope not," he said, shifting her to her feet so he could stand. He then lifted her up, her legs wrapping around him. "I will never stop wanting you, Mrs. Cullen."

"Good thing, Dr. Cullen, because my husband is motherfucking sexy in his scrubs and his cock will always be something I want."

"Hmm, do you want my cock inside you right now?"

"Well, I've never been one to turn down your cock," she replied, placing her hand on her flat stomach. "Obviously."

Their mouths devoured each other as he carried her to the island in the kitchen. They mostly made love in their bedroom when the kids were asleep. It had been a long time since he took her right there on the island in the middle of the kitchen and tonight he would make up for that.

After they were both naked, clothes thrown everywhere, he leaned her back some on the island and then lowered his head to her stomach. He placed open mouth kisses on her flesh where their baby grew. He already loved this new baby with all his heart. He looked back up at his wife and grabbed her hips, pulling her towards the edge of the island and then pushed inside her.

He pushed deeper, she pulled harder, they both screamed out as they came together. Bella leaned her whole body against Edward's as he held on to her with one arm and the island with his other to steady himself.

When he pulled back, he looked in her eyes and then kissed her softly. The love that was between them did not need any words; it was all in their eyes. The way they looked at each other spoke more than any words ever could.

~*yCa*~

It was 3 am. Edward was up first when the baby started crying. Bella was sound asleep and Edward knew how exhausted she was. He walked into the nursery and picked up his three-week old baby girl in his arms. She instantly settled down as soon as he cradled her. Edward changed her diaper and then settled in on the rocker.

Charlotte was already smitten with her daddy. From the moment she was born, she looked up at him with her big brown eyes and stole his heart. Ella and Masen had him by the balls too, but with Charlotte being his last baby, she had him by everything he had.

"Daddy, Charlotte woke me up," Ella said from the doorway of the nursery.

"Me too," Masen yawned.

"Sorry, kids," Edward replied. "I've got her settled down now. Want to come sit with me?"

The kids walked in the room and both knelt down at each of Edward's sides.

"She's really tiny, Daddy," Masen said, looking at his new little sister.

"You were this small too, Bud," Edward replied.

"Yeah and you smelled funny," Ella chimed in.

"Did not," Masen whined.

"Did too," Ella shot back.

"Hey, shh, you two," Edward said, when Charlotte started to whimper. "We don't want the baby crying again and Mommy is asleep, so we have to be quiet."

The kids calmed down and went back to watching their baby sister. As Edward looked down at his three babies all around him, his heart swelled to capacity. He thought about where his life was before the night of his 30th birthday. All he did back then was work. He shut himself off from any kind of love. He froze his heart out, until the night he found himself in a strip club and a young dancer would come into his life and rock his whole world.

Now, almost ten years later, he was married to the love of his life and she had given him three children who he loved more than his own life. He felt truly blessed and happy.

He looked down at Charlotte, who was still awake but completely content in his arms, and then Ella and Masen, who had fallen asleep at his feet. And, of course, Jake who stood watch over them.

"There you are," Bella said, walking into the nursery and patting Jake's head.

"I didn't want to wake you," Edward said as she kissed him.

"I don't sleep right when you're not next to me," she replied.

Edward shifted Charlotte to his other arm and motioned for Bella to take a seat on his lap. Once she was there, she looked down at her two sleeping kids on the floor and then at her very alert baby girl nestled in her daddy's arms.

"I can't believe we made another perfect tiny human," Bella said.

"Yes we did," Edward replied. "They are all perfect."

"I love you, Edward, so much," Bella whispered as she snuggled into her husband's side.

"I love you too, Bella."

And love each other they would... Forever.

I'm not used to getting things

The easy way

My life had been up and down

And all these years

The price I paid for honesty

Had been my heart on the ground

But then yo came around

Everything was clear

You came around

All I need is here

Because you came around

Its not that I wanted all the fairy tales

Or even needed one

I guess my mind had reasoned out the reasons for

A perfect boy for this girl

But then you came around

Everything was clear

You came around

All I need is here

You came around

Took me by surprise

You came around

I see through different eyes

But some things never seem to change

And they take you down

Yeah they take you down

I had given all the blame

And it took me down

Yeah it broke me down

But then you came around

Everything was clear

You came sound

All I need is here

Because you came around
