Epilogue

*thanks to juliet709 for being so awesome with this story!*

Jasper finally asked Bella to marry him a few weeks after their meeting with Alice and Edward. To his

relief, she said yes. They were married under the willow tree beside the lake on the property. Rosalie

and Emmett standing beside them and Charlie the flower girl, Emmett carrying Joey as the ring bearer.

Jasper swore he lost his breath when Bella walked down the aisle. She wore a simple ivory silk and lace

dress, Charlie matching her. During their vows, Jasper dropped down to one knee and even said vows to

Charlie. Charlie smiled and hugged Jasper, saying she was happy he was her daddy now.

The new little family was complete. Jenks drew up adoption papers and officially made Charlie a

Whitlock. As she grew, Bella was afraid with her being half human, she would lose her life at a young age.

Until the day they ran into another like Charlie while vacationing.

It also happened to be that Charlie and the young boy, Nathaniel, were each other's mate. Bella and

Jasper knowing how hard it is to be away from their mate, decided to set up residence in Texas, much to

Jasper's relief. He took over his family's ranch and had a small cabin built for Charlie and Nathaniel.

Rosalie, Emmett and little Joey found them a small house outside of Seattle. Rosalie opened her a

boutique while Emmett did construction. As Joey grew up, he began to notice his parents never aging.

When he was 17, he was in a fatal car accident. Rosalie saved her son, making him immortal. That's

when they explained everything to him.

Joey took to his new life with ease. When he was ready, the family of three went to Texas to see the

others. Falling in love with the ranch, much to Emmett and Jasper's surprise, Rosalie wanted to stay. She

forgot her southern roots when she left home and was changed and found them again in just a week.

The Whitlock's and McCartney's lived on the ranch, happy. Charlie and Nathaniel were married and

continued to live at the ranch.

Bella Sat outside in her swing and watched as every busied themselves with work and smiled. Her life

had finally turned around. She was glad that her life had those unexpected twists and turns. It wouldn't

have given her what she always wanted most. Love and happiness.
