Nothing belongs to me, well the plot does and the OCs, but everything else belongs to the wonderful Stephenie Meyer and I am not her and I am making NO money with this story.

Epilogue

Bella was smiling like a loon. Today was a great day. And the person next to her thought the same. Maggie Hughes was sitting to Bella's left and looked like she was about to start dancing.

The women and their entourage waited until they were alone before Bella and Maggie threw their arms around the other and started squealing. And jumping up and down.

They made a very funny picture.

"Oh my fucking GOD!" Maggie shouted when she finally released Bella from the embrace. Tears were running down her cheeks but they were happy tears. "I can't believe that this is really happening. It's like a dream."

Bella nodded. "I can understand you, Maggie. This is a first for me too. Normally I don't talk with the really big bosses."

"Well, you sold yourself pretty good," Maggie's agent, Siobhan, added. "You impressed me."

Blushing, Bella smiled shyly. "Oh well, this meeting was one of the most important ones I've ever had. But the contracts are signed now and soon we'll be making a shit load of money. Let's go celebrate!"

Bella had every reason to be happy. Today she and Maggie had signed the contracts with Warner Bros. Soon after the second book of Inheritance of Light had been released, movie studios had come knocking at their doors. The books were ridiculously successful and they'd sold millions of copies. That success had brought Phoenix lots of publicity and attention. And new authors and books.

By now Phoenix had made it's own name and Bella, Angela and Ben were making good money. Never had Bella thought that their little publishing house would ever become this successful.

It felt good that Bella and her friends had managed to get this far.

Edward was sitting in his office at Cullen Corp. and looking through some papers but still managed to keep an eye on his daughter. Ella was now three years old and would soon start going to preschool, something that excited Ella to no end. Everyone she met was told about that.

Luckily most people loved Ella, and weren't bothered when she stopped at their workplaces to talk to them. At first there had been some raised eyebrows because Edward sometimes took his little princess to work with him but he proved that he was still a tough businessman and not someone to be trifled with.

It wasn't always easy to handle work and their little girl, especially because neither wanted to hire a nanny, but they made it work.

"Daddy?" came a soft voice from sitting area in his office.

Edward smiled as he heard his little princess, who was drawing a picture for her mommy. "Yes, Ella?"

"Will Mommy be home for Thanksgiving?"

Ah, he should have known that Ella would ask that question. Bella had been gone for one week now and both, father and daughter, wanted her home. "Yes. She will. Mommy promised, remember?"

Ella nodded. "I know but it's important that Mommy be there at the party. Mommy have something to tell us!"

Edward frowned a little at that. It wasn't unusual for Ella to say strange things but this time she was adamant that Bella had to say something to the family. Beside the deal with Warner Bros. Well, he wouldn't have to wait long beacuse tomorrow was Thanksgiving. But he was curious non the less.

The sound of the door opening caused Edward to turn around. He was about to snap at whoever it was but dark brown curls stopped him.

He wasn't the only one who'd noticed their guest and Ella immediately raced across the room and into her mother's arms.

"MOMMY!"

Laughing, Bella picked her up and crushed her to her chest. "Hey, Ella, I missed you so much. Were you a good girl?"

For a three year old Ella could look exasperated like a teen. "Of course. And I didn't tell Daddy your secret."

Bella looked confused and also a little shocked but quickly blanked her face. "Well that's good."

Noticing that Bella wanted to change the subject, Edward asked after her trip. Bella smiled mysteriously but just shook her head. "You'll have to wait until tomorrow."

Edward glared at his scheming wife but over four years of marriage had taught him when to push and when to let it go. This time he had to let it go and so he just opened his arms and smiled when Bella sat down on his lap. With their daughter.

The next day the Cullens vacated their homes and relocated to Cullen Manor. Bella and Kate spent the morning in the kitchen and prepared a true feast. And at midday Bella called everyone to the table.

The family was impressed by the food but before they could start eating, something that Emmett and his son were eager to do, they had to say what they were thankful for.

Bella watched her family and couldn't be happier. Esme and Carlisle were still the happy couple that Bella knew them to be and Nana enjoyed living with them. She spent most of her days organizing the different events at the manor. Rose and Emmett were trying for baby number two and enjoying it. Henry was his father's son. A huge teddy bear with a black hole for a stomach who's best friend was his cousin Ella. Alice had finally managed to get Jasper to make an honest woman out of her, and even if she and Bella would never be best friends, they were friendly now. Angela and Ben had decided to spent this year's Thanksgiving with the Cullens, much to the displeasure of the Webbers. Both were very happy and not planning to have a child for another two years. Felix on the other hand had managed to impregnate Jane and to survive her moods. Their daughter Felicia was fourteen months old and a diva. Felix worshiped the ground his baby walked on and their sex life was as extravagant as ever.

Bella was brought out of her thoughts when Edward nudged her side to mention that it was her turn. "Um ahh," Bella stuttered and couldn't find the right words. She'd planned this but now she couldn't get her mouth to work.

"Mommy!" Ella complained and rolled her eyes. "Oh well, I guess I goes first. I'm thankful for my doggy Dobby and for my new bike. ...Oh and for my brother that is in mommy's belly." Ella looked very pleased with herself especially because everyone was staring at her.

Edward felt like someone had punched him. Shaking, he turned to Bella and opened his mouth to speak. It took him three tries until he managed to form a coherent and audible sentence. "Bella, are you pregnant?"

His wife, who's face was a deep crimson red, smiled sheepishly at him. "Umm...surprise?"

Edward didn't know what caused it. Maybe it was the shock that his daughter, who shouldn't even know where babies came from, had announced it or that they hadn't even talked abut a second baby yet. All he knew was that Emmett, heck no one would ever let him forget what happened next.

He fainted.

Just before he lost consciousness he could have sworn that he'd heard the amused and happy laughter of his grandfather.

Well, folks, that's it. I'm done! Phew, that was one long story. There's nothing left to say. And for those who wanted to know about Tanya, well, she's still trying to find some sugar daddy.

I hope you enjoyed reading this baby as much as I did writing it. I want to thank all my readers and faithful reviewers. I loved your comments, even the critics.

Please leave me one final comment.

Love, Nini

P.S. After a brake I'll start a new story. But first I have to work on some Harry Potter fiction. I love Harry and slash! No Ginny for me. Only to bash her.
