The Drafts

Epilogue

A/N: I promised I would not abandon you, and I keep promises. This, in honor of Breaking Dawn Part 2 opening weekend, is the final chapter of The Drafts. I am in a WIP with my new story Inked which is basically a complete 180 turn from this story and I encourage you to check that out.

Without further ado..

100 years later…

"It's like I'm finally home again," I sigh, perfectly content. It's been so long since we were last in Forks, and as Carlisle explained, we had to wait for the generation we knew to die out before returning. 100 years is suffice for said generation to disappear, and we were finally returning.

"This place certainly does bring back memories," Esme agrees with a smile. "I have to admit I kind of miss having humans around. You two were so ridiculously amusing to us for the longest time." She smiles at me and BB.

BB was changed when she was 21 years old – technically older than both Emmett and Rosalie. She found love in the form of a certain werewolf. Wait, hold on, let me clarify. She did not fall in love with Jacob (as ironic as that may have been). She fell in love with a dimpled werewolf named Seth. It was easy to accept him into the family, not that we had a choice exactly. He didn't imprint on her, they simply fell in love like any other normal couple would have. With these two, they had a choice. Seth could decide whether or not he wanted to age. At 16 we sat BB down and explained some things to her. As a family, we told her it was her choice whether or not to be turned or remained human (it was hard to convince Rosalie of this as first, as she was against immortality in the first place, and this was her daughter after all). She chose to live as a human, but when she fell in love with Seth they agreed on forever. That was about 80 years ago, which doesn't feel all that long.

Jacob tied the knot with Leah, two broken souls who taught each other how to love. They stopped changing, and continued to age, and are now long gone. The idea of a world without Jacob was difficult at first, but over time we accepted that he was gone and that was what he wanted.

"Are you saying I'm no longer ridiculously charismatic and good-looking?" BB asked with her utterly adorable smirk. Her personality was almost an exact mix of Emmett and Rosalie. She had Emmett's ego and sense of humor, and Rosalie's vain-ness.

"Of course Clearwater's never lose our charm." Seth gives her a peck on the cheek.

"Alright, alright, stop it with the PDA." Emmett says getting in-between the couple.

"Oh, I've got you wrapped around my finger, don't I?" BB asks Seth with a smile.

"Young love," I look at Edward, "isn't it adorable?"

"I actually think we're the best looking couple of the group. Though, I may be a bit biased." He laughs. "Let's get out of here, away from the crew. They're all going sight-seeing, in other words they're going to ooh and ahh about all the things that have changed since we've been here last. I don't think that truly interests you, does it?"

"You do know me." I smile. "Let's go, your right. We're in need of our…hmm, what is it, 90th honey moon? That can wait though. I want to go back to the house, and marvel at how out of date it is. I almost miss the simplicity of the 2000's, don't you? Everything now is about what the next big thing is." I roll my eyes. "I wish the days where people were simply fascinated by the idea of flying cars."

We start running back to the house, and it's not long before Edward's unlocking the front door.

Edward laughs in obvious agreement. "Ah, yes. I actually am getting quite bored with flying cars. We do need something new. Underground roads, perhaps? Or maybe we should colonize Mars."

"That would be ever so interesting." I look around the Cullen's old living room. "I remember once thinking this place is a mansion. Now, it seems too small and I think the ten of us will feel claustrophobic," I scrunch my nose up in distaste. "Esme and Alice will have a field day with this." I smile.

"True. Whatever makes her happy. I, would find it a chore to have to go to a new house and renovate the whole entire thing. I have no idea what's so appealing in the idea. I'm so glad that yo didn't end up enjoying that. I happen to know Jasper and Carlisle aren't particularly fond in the conversations they've been forced into about various kitchen appliances."

"So, if I loved the idea of spending countless hours enamored into the latest catalogue of designer ovens, you wouldn't love me?" I kid.

"Certainly not." He says and then laughs. "Of course I would. However, our conversations may be lest interesting."

"Definitely." I agree.

"So what do you want to do?" Edward asks.

"Um, go upstairs, listen to some ancient music. Same old, same old."

"No," Edward smiles heading toward the staircase. "I mean, sure we can go do that now, but I meant like, in this new era. You want to go to high-school or college, or what?"

"Oh," if I could blush I would. "Well, neither. I don't want to be tied down here. I want to be able to travel, and kind of be free to do whatever. I'm not ready to go to high school again. Maybe in another century or so." I nod thoughtfully. We just graduated from a school in New York, not a week ago.

"I was thinking the same thing. So, we'll be their older siblings, or perhaps their aunt and uncle. I happen to know that the rest of them are planning on enrolling in Forks High. You know, Your niece is still in town."

Ah, my niece. When Charlie was told I 'died', he went into a state of depression. Sue, understanding what he was going through, helped him get through it. Blah, Blah, Blah, they get married and go on to have one child together, giving Charlie his second and Sue her third (this was around ten years after I left, they waited quite a while). Meanwhile, it gave both Seth and I a younger (beautiful) sister. Neither of us had contact with Bella (another child named in my honor, it's like I'm famous), but we did watch her from afar. Bella had a kid, who's now around 30, and is Seth and I's niece. She resembles Leah more than anything, and it's been fun to see her grow up.

"Yeah, maybe I'll try and contact her somehow. It's funny to think that even when I was taken out of the mix, the Swan bloodline lives on." I smile.

"It will live on for eternity, through you." Edward reminds me.

"Yeah, but you know what I mean."

And he truly did. He got it more than anyone, since after him his bloodline was completely wiped out. He was the only Masen left in this world.

"It's funny to think 100 years ago we didn't know this was going to happen." Edward smiles and we sit down on our old bed.

"Yeah, like when I think back to that first day in Biology, all I can think is that we had no idea how important we'd become to each other." I smile, settling myself in Edward's lap. "If you could go back and say anything to me and you, what would it be?" I ask.

"To the old Edward, I'd assure him that his self-control is suffice, and convince him that you are not a danger to him, but rather the opposite. I'd tell him not be so hostile." He pauses, "and to you, my love, I'd tell you to relax, that we were meant to be. What about you?" he asks.

"Hmm…to you Edward I'd tell you not to be afraid of me, and to not watch me sleep because thinking about that now it was pretty creepy," Edward laughs, and I shrug my shoulders, "to myself, I'd convince the old Bella that Edward really does love her, and to be stubborn about what she wants because it works."

Edward kisses my nose. "We were quite the pair weren't we? The obsessed vampire and the girl who thought he was the world."

"I think we're still a dynamic duo; the boy who gave her everything and the girl that lived happily ever after in an utterly horror film matter. I mean, what story ever ended with, and then her lover was theoretically killed, but not at the same time and lived forever with her prince charming through immortality."

Edward shakes his head in agreement. "Probably the same story that starts with the girl falls in love with a monster that could destroy her, and he kind of loves her back. Oh yeah and the whole time he wants to kill her."

"If it makes you feel any better, if the situation was in reverse, I would have probably wanted to kill you. In fact, there have been times where I've seriously considered murdering you. You know how to cause aggravation in the most severe forms, Mr. Cullen." I smile.

"Ah, and Mrs. Cullen you don't ever overreact." Okay, so I admit, I do overreact sometimes.

"Mr. and Mrs. Cullen are our parents, it's weird to think we have the same titles as them." I say.

"We could always be Mr. and Mrs. Masen, in fact we were, remember I think it was back in the 2060's, for a while. Ah, yes, we all went back to our previous names. It was weird thinking we were the Cullens, McCartys, Whitlocks, Clearwaters and Masens at one point. Now, it's just the Cullens and the Clearwaters, and I'm sure at one point it'll be just the Cullens."

"I don't know, Seth is pretty happy with his name now, I don't see them changing their names anytime soon." I challenge.

"Okay, you've got me. You incredibly smart, insightful, beautiful woman." Edward goes in for a kiss.

In the vampire world, we are still a very new couple, and things are still very heated and full of compassion. It's not long before we're getting down on each other in a bed almost as old as I am.

This is about Edward and I, and Edward and I are perfect. My life has never been more complete than it has with Edward, and any of my other siblings at that.

I was perfectly content in living in this moment, forever.

A/N: And so lived on, Edward and Bella. It's not very long, but this wraps up B/E perfectly. I'm so happy with the turn out of this story and I hope this satisfies everyone else too. Review, tell me your thoughts on my story, BDP2, or anything else. Thank you for sticking with this story till the end.
