Chapter 20-Epilogue

20 years later

I stood in front of the mirror of my room at my aunt's estate and and let out a huge breath as I tried to calm myself down. The moons and stars weren't cutting it like they usually did and I felt like I had back on my wedding day and while I had some experience with crowds and that, I just couldn't shake the nervousness off. This was a huge day, epic really and yet I felt off, my fingers had been flaring all morning and I had to have my mom and Esme help me get dressed for fear of burning my dress.

I couldn't shake it, I had even gone to Danu's mirror to see if anything would show up but nothing did. I was hoping that it would stay that way for today was supposed to be a happy day and I really didn't want to have anything ruin it.

"Isa, Izzy, you ready lass?" my aunt bellowed from the other side of the door

"Yeah, just a sec" I yelled back as I opened the door to see my aunt standing there in a regal purple gown, her long dark hair was piled high on her head and she was wearing a circlet with a purple stone hanging in the middle of her forehead. It was the first time I had ever seen her with a crown and she looked every bit the queen she was.

I was a wearing a similar dress but mine was more gold with purple swirls and I was wearing the same purple and gold cape that I wore all those years ago when I met the werewolf Sorin and his band of wolves. It became a favorite of mine for whenever I had to travel and take care of some family business.

"You look stunnin lass, I'm proud of ya Izzy, you've become a spectacular witch and you will make a damn fine queen" she gushed as she wrapped her arms around me as led us through the maze of hallways and stairs to the ball room.

We spoke for a few minutes and then she left me in front of the huge double doors. I stood there still feeling antsy and all at once I immediately calmed down as I smelt it, that wonderful scent that left me calm and senseless all at the same time.

"Mmm, I never thought you would look good in any color but blue but damn if purple and gold isn't the best thing ever" my husband groaned. I went to answer him back but my breath left me as I saw what he was wearing. Good lord! He was wearing a black suit with a purple shirt that was so dark it looked black and a gold tie. He looked absolutely gorgeous and I had to check to make sure I wasn't drooling.

"Nervous?" I asked him and he just nodded while he held me tighter. This was a big day for us and I was just hoping I wouldn't screw it up.

We parted after a few more kisses and then I held his hand and exhaled hard as the double doors opened to reveal the ballroom/throne room and within it, every supernatural creature known to man. Vampires, witches, fairies, werewolves and shape shifters and some humans that were friends like Bailey and her mom who I spotted in the crowd and Bailey was beaming as she held her newborn girl. She had two boys already and her little girl was perfect.

We made our way up the centre of the aisle hand in hand and I waved to a few people like Bailey and her mom, I saw the pack and I knew Jake and Leah were at the front with our family and I took a deep breath as I let go of my husband's hand and climbed the three little stairs to stand before the crowd that had gathered.

I smiled as I saw our cousins from Denali sitting there with their new husbands. Poor Alistair looked like he wanted to take off but Irina had a tight hold on him. They looked so cute and I could see him relax as Irina caressed his arm. Kate had her head resting on a very good looking guy, I think Edward said his name was Garrett. He was apparently a soldier way back when and Kate found him while they were helping Irina look for Alistair.

According to Kate, they were in London when she caught his scent. She saw him fly down an alley towards a young guy and immediately gave chase. Garrett thought another vampire wanted his kill so he stopped and turned around to growl but fell to his knees as his eyes fell on Kate. She wasn't prepared for the feelings that would hit her and the two of them actually crashed into each other and from what Edward mentioned, an old building became rubble. They were worse than Emmett and Rose.

Then there was Tanya, I had seen here with a dark haired man and I really didn't recognize him until she brought him with her about ten years ago and that was when I snapped. She had met him in Italy of all places and he was actually a tracker for the Volturi named Demetri and the one who had called dibs on my blood. I freaked and threw him against a wall with a fireball. I was more than a little hysterical at the time. Demetri was terrified and all the Denalis assured me that he was on the level. He loved Tanya and left the Volturi to be with her. At the time, his eyes were still red and my fingers were flaring nonstop but he was trying to go vegetarian and after some time I learned to trust him. Now looking at them, he wasn't the same guy at all. He was calmer now, more comfortable around us and made every woman within a ten mile radius fall to her knees or faint, like my husband had a tendency to do, and while I totally felt her pain, it was hysterical to see Tanya get jealous.

I stood before the crowd and let my aunt put my crown on my head, the damn thing was really heavy and I would never get use to it. It had been five years since my aunt stepped down and made me queen and while I had spoken to crowds, stopped wars and ended disputes and even had to kill some nasty supernatural creatures, it still didn't make this any easier and today was bigger.

I took another deep breath and clapped my hands together, rejoicing as the sound of thunder shook the walls and brought the crowd to silence, most bowed, which I still hated but it was effective in bringing order to the room.

"Welcome to you all, we're so glad to see such support from the big to the small and from allies and friends. You surely are all blessed under the eyes or Danu" I praised.

"As your queen we've seen triumph and sadness, renewal and rebirth. We have made enemies and we've become friends and I'm happy to see the supernatural world finally is at peace. To mark this joyous occasion I am so delighted to be able to do this. My friends may I present to you, your new king" I announced and heard the cheers and hollers come from the crowds as my husband climbed the few steps and knelt before me.

I could see him shaking as I said the ancient words that would mark him as king, words that hadn't been spoken in decades. He was so nervous and I told him that there would be no one else better to be my king.

The crowd was silent, reverent as I started to place the crown on his head and then we heard it. The distinct sounds of growls and there was a piercing yell and when I looked up, three vampires had jumped in the air and were flying towards us. They jumped and just as I was about to fry them, two beams of light were hurtling by me and all three vampires turned to ash as their remains fell to the floor.

There was screaming all over the room and Edward had thrown me behind him as he snarled and growled.

"SOMEONE GET ME ARO, NOW!" I screamed and I saw as several of my best warlocks and Demetri flew out the door.

I looked to my side to see where the light had come from and smiled as I saw my daughter Elizabeth smile back. She had just turned 19 and was the most beautiful girl I had ever laid eyes on, even when she was baby, she was gorgeous. She looked so much like her daddy, with her reddish hair and hazel eyes. She was going to be a very powerful witch and a incredible queen. She had already taken over some things for me which is how she met her fiancé.

I never thought in a million years that my soon to be son in law would be a werewolf but Sorin was set to marry our little girl next year. She had gone to Romania to check on them and as soon as Sorin saw her, he fell to his belly and licked her shoes. She was just as enamored, I laughed loudly but her poor father nearly had a heart attack, he even swears that his heart started to beat again, she gave him such a shock. The only other time he was that shocked was when we found out I was pregnant. We had just gotten back from our honeymoon. I had been sick off and on for a few weeks and it was now going on three months. It wasn't consistent, I would be sick for a few days and then have a number of weeks and I would be fine. I thought it might have been over exhaustion since as soon as we got back, there was plans made for college, there had been a turf war in Africa between two tribes, both of which were being led by two very powerful witch doctors, more training and then I found out my dad was dating Sue Clearwater, Harry's widow. Stressed and tired would make anyone ill.

Then one night we were lying in bed, just staring at the ceiling when Edward jumped up and his hands immediately went to my stomach.

"Edward, what is it?" I asked, feeling very terrified as he shook his head and then put his ear down to my stomach.

"It's not possible" he said in disbelief and again I asked what was going on.

Instead of answering me, he fled out the door and came back with a black bag. I recognized it as a doctors bag and he explained it was Carlisle's. He took a stethoscope out and started moving it around my chest and stomach.

"Edward, what the hell is going on?" I all but screamed and he sat there with his mouth hanging open.

"Bella, you're, I'm not sure how, I didn't think it possible but you are" he said and I motioned for him to keep going. "You're pregnant" he yelled and I flew out of bed and started rubbing my hands on my stomach. Could it be? Was I pregnant? One hundred pregnancy and five blood tests later confirmed I was close to four months pregnant which would mean I had gotten pregnant before we were married.

We were in complete shock and I felt terrible when Rose found out. She was visibly upset but assured me that she would be there for me and the baby. Alice was so excited to buy baby things and Esme was in her glee to get a grandchild and design a room for them.

Four months later we welcomed Elizabeth Carlie Cullen Masen into the world and from the get go I knew she would be a powerful witch. As soon as her tiny hand touched mine I could feel her strength and her power and I knew that she would follow in the great steps of her great grandmother who we named her after. We weren't really sure what she would be like, while it was obvious that she would be a very powerful witch, we weren't sure how much would be human and how much would be vampire. By the time she was two years old she had mastered spells that I had only just begun to understand and then when she hit puberty her vampire nature came through and she and her father enjoyed weekends hunting in the woods surrounding Forks.

Elizabeth or Beth as she like to be called, walked towards me, a growl still rumbling in her chest and wrapped an arm around my waist and I did the same to her as Edward stood on her other side and nuzzled his head against hers and I smiled at their bond ,she was a real daddy's girl.

"You okay mama?" she asked and I nodded, more pissed off than anything

"Da?" she turned towards her father and he kissed her cheek and we looked out towards the pile of ash on the floor and then I heard a giggle and felt something touch my leg and looked down to see our four year old standing by my leg, she was a huge surprise. We never thought we would have one child let alone two but when Beth was fourteen we found out I was pregnant again. I thought Edward really was going to faint when we found that out.

Nine months later we had Raven. I named her so as her hair was as black as night. Her eyes were my color and she was definitely my little mini me. My mother gasped when she saw her, saying it was like going back in time. She was quite the little witch from the start but had the ferociousness of her father when it came to hunting. At the age of two she could take down an elk all on her own but most of the time she would just use magic and bring them to her.

"Was that your stream too?" I asked her and she giggled as I picked her up.

"Helping your sister were ya?" Edward asked her as Beth gave her a high five and she squealed as I tickled her and I laughed as she squirmed in my arms.

Edward wrapped us all up as we enjoyed a family moment. But it was broken up by the snarls and growls coming from outside the doors and I couldn't help but smile as they opened to reveal Aro being dragged through the room but he wasn't on the ground, the three warlocks had him suspended in the air while Demetri stood there smirking and telling him to shut up.

"All good gentleman?" I asked as they let Aro fall to the ground only for Demetri to hold him on his knees before me. They nodded and left me to it.

"Isabella, long time no see, if you wanted to meet, you could have just called instead of having me manhandled" he sneered and I threw a fireball to his side.

"Not long enough, now watch yer tone boyo, I need no excuse to haul you in here, you're lucky I just didn't do away wit ya yet" I spat. Why I had kept him alive this long was a mystery but I made a deal with his brothers that they would keep him in line, if not he was done and they would be taken prisoner.

"Fine, now what is the meaning of this" he demanded

"Well if you look to your left you will see what's left of three vampires who dared come here and interrupt the crowning of the new king" I said in a raised voice and I smiled as he cringed. My voice had taken on the tone of the queen and it had brought some scary men to their knees in the past. "I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about" he growled and I looked to Edward for confirmation. He shook his head and said that he didn't see anything.

"He's nervous" Jasper said as he stalked forward and Alice got in his face telling him that if she so much as saw him step a toe out of line she would tear his head off herself. This set Aro off and he started to yell to let him go.

I slapped my hands together and the room went silent as the thunder clapped and Aro looked on in fright. He hadn't yet witnessed my full power yet. "Fine Aro, say I do believe ya, do you know of any plot to ruin the crowning of the king?" I asked and he shook his head.

"Surely the great and powerful leader of the vampires must have known somethin, I mean you do have spies all over" I mocked, knowing full well that any spies he had for us had either been turned to ash or they now worked for me.

"My queen, I assure you I had nothing to do with this nor did I know about it" he said and Edward said he was telling the truth.

"Fine, but I'm warnin ya Aro if I find out ya had anything to do wit this, there nar be a place on this earth where I won't find ye and when I do, you will wish for the pyre. Got it?" I spat at him and he hissed. I was about to smack him with my magic but my daughter had already pinned him to the ground as her teeth snapped at his neck, her body engulfed in flames and I saw Aro start to burn.

"That's enough Beth" I told her and she got up and stood next to me. Aro jumped up and came at her but with a flick of my wrist he was in the air. "You dare attack my daughter" I sneered and he gasped.

"You turned a witch?" he questioned and I shook my head, trying to keep calm. Attacking any member of my family was a sure fire way to get me to beat your ass.

"Do I look like a witch who has been turned to a vampire? Dumbass" Beth huffed and I held back my snicker, she spent way too much time with Emmett and Jake.

"She's ours Aro, mine and Bella's" Edward told him and he just stood there muttering about it being impossible.

"Aye, but she's theirs. I was there to witness it. Elizabeth is Bella's and Edwards as well as the wee lass here" my aunt said as she picked up Raven. Aro shook his head and I got close to him and yanked him down out of the air and threw him to a wall.

"I'm a witch Aro, we can do anything and anything is possible, best for ya to remember that" I growled as I tapped his head with a small electric shock. He snarled and I had about enough of him as I could stand. I was so close to frying him it wasn't funny so instead I opened the portal and stepped through it and I had Demetri grab him and he smiled and I knew he was only happy to do it.

He threw Aro at his brothers as soon as we stepped through the portal and I threw a fireball in the center of the room as a warning. At least the other vampires kept their distance as my rage went through the room. I saw Marcus and Caius pick Aro up and I could tell that they had no idea what pissed me off.

"MARCUS!"I shouted and he immediately knelt to the floor.

"There was an attack at the castle today, the king was supposed to be crowned and three vampires tried to attack. Do you or your brother know anything about this? I commanded and he shook his head that he did not and Caius followed suit.

"Fine, well yer brother here tried to attack me daughter, I'm letting him go, you deal with him but the next time this happens gentleman I will torch this entire place and with you in it. Got me?" I threatened and they all nodded but I could tell that Aro was only biding his time. I made a mental note that once Raven was old enough; the three of us were going to destroy him. Nothing was stronger than the power of three.

I waved them off and left back through the portal and laughed as Demetri flipped them the bird and once the light faded I was engulfed in my husband's arms.

"How'd it go?" he asked and I told him I would tell him later. I then ascended the stairs again and made a decree.

"My friend, an attack has been made, while I think and hope that everyone here are friends and allies, make no mistake, there will be no tolerance for that behaviour. Now with that in mind, let's finish this" I yelled and there was chorus of cheers and hollers.

Edward bowed as he set Raven down and took his place again at my feet. He knelt down and I took the crown again and placed it on his head. He was up again in a second and gave me a quick kiss. I then took his hand and presented him to the crowd, "Friends, family, by Danu, I present to you, your new king, Edward Cullen" I yelled and the walls of this hallowed hall shook with the force of the voice that rose.

I kissed my husband with a much passion as was proper and then we stood before the crowd with our two children by our side. As the crowd cheered and celebrated I looked up towards the sky and just hoped that I was or at least I would be what my great, great grandmother Elizabeth hoped for when she led her people so many centuries ago.

I figured she would be as my gaze fell on an old painting that you could only see from the throne and I smiled as I saw the familiar face of Elizabeth with what looked like two little boys and a little girl and she was smiling at the dark haired man next to her. When the picture was found in an old room in the palace we were all shocked. I had asked Dora who the man was and my aunt told me that after Elizabeth's husband died, the only other king in our family, she fell for another man and he stayed with her until Danu called her back, dying right along with her.

"It's said he was a strong man and that the two of them were like magnets, perfect in every way for the other" she told me and I could totally understand that and as I looked at the picture I knew why. I had been told I was like her in so many ways but none so much as this painting. She stood there looking regal and happy and the man looked like he loved her very much and then came the kicker, you could distinctly see that he had golden eyes.

"Happy love?" my husband asked and I tore my eyes from the painting and nodded

"Yes my king. How about you?" I hummed against his lips.

"Mmm, very but I'll be even happier in a few months" he hummed against my lips as he hand ghosted across my growing belly. Yup we were pregnant again and this time I had a feeling that it would be a boy. I also had a feeling that with the end of this pregnancy I would be more vampire than human. It was slowly happening since I had been pregnant with Beth, my eyes were becoming more and more golden instead of brown and I silently thanked Danu for the vision from all those years ago as we were surrounded by our family and friends and I couldn't help it as I floated above them all and clapped my hands. Instantly the ceiling above vanished and the stars shone overhead and then I clapped my hands again and tons of glitter and confetti rained down on the crowd below me. Raven clapped as did Beth, the two of them joining me above the crowd and everyone cheered as the three of us twisted and twirled in the air.

As I watched my daughters laugh as they twirled before me and even had their father up with us, I knew that while eternity was a long time, I couldn't wait for it!

The End!

"Sniffles" Well that's it! I just want to thank everyone who is reading this, reviewed, followed and added it to their favs. I never thought that this fic would get the love it has when I first started writing it. It's been a long time coming and I know I had trouble writing some parts but I wanna thank you all for sticking with me. You all rock.

Okay I'm out before I start blubberin like a baby. Leave me some love and I'll be back, Blood Trails is next on the list and maybe some outtakes for this one in the future. Until then, see ya lassies!
