Bella's nerves were still calming since the confrontation in the clearing with the Volturi. Ultimately, they were now safe...until the Volturi found new ways to put them at risk. "I get to stay with you forever?" Nessie had chimed to her, excited. "Forever...yes." She replied with a smile. Seeing Alice again was like she'd never left. Had it not been for Alice finding Nahuel, the odds probably wouldn't have been in their favor.
They had all made their way back to the Cullen home, receiving hugs and kisses from all of their guests happy about the outcome. Slowly they all began to dissipate to hunt, or to return to their homes. After many Thank yous, the sun had set and Renesmee sat curled up in Jacob's lap, asleep. It had been a long, long day for them all.
Alice wrapped her arms around Bella and she returned the hug. "You could have warned me first!" Her pixie like laugh chimed out and she shook her head. "I had to be sure Edward wouldn't know, in case...Aro." Bella grumbled and pulled her into another hug. "Thank you...so much." Her family was finally all back together, and they would be happy and have forever. She couldn't stop smiling. Her gaze found Edward's as she wrapped her arms around his chest, placing her head above his heart. "I love you..."

It had finally come to an end, the Volturi had been defeated and has returned back to Volterra with their heads hung low, not expecting to be defeated in such a manner where Vampires from across the globe and the wolves from LA Push had come together in a victorious display of coming together for one soul purpose - to protect Renesmee.
He stood talking to Kate and Carlisle whilst his eyes gleamed as he watched Bella and Alice share a moment of what could only be expressed as undying joy, his head turning to watch as Renesmee curled up into Jacob's arms and fall asleep within moments. It seemed as though she could not stay awake during this time, it has been so much for someone so young, but so old in mind for her to comprehend all that had been happening around her.
His arms soon found their way around Bella's waist as he pulled her closer to his own stone figured frame, his eyes baring into her's.
"I love you....I promised we would have forever"
She chuckled at him as her eyes soon saw Renesmee asleep in the wolves arms.
"Maybe we should take her home...I think it all has been to much for her"

She nodded quietly as she closed her eyes and relaxed against him. Her body had been rigid the last few weeks, now she could...breathe. "Yeah, it's been quite a day" Jacob stood with her in his arms as he kissed her forehead and handed her over to Edward's waiting arms. They exchanged a smile and Bella felt inside that Jake would always be part of her family. She wrapped her arms around his neck, ignoring the wolf smell. "I love you, too Jacob. Thank you....just....thank you." Words left unspoken but he'd done so much for them. If anyone was right for her daughter, it was Jacob Black. With him, she'd never be hurt.
Turning to Edward she smiled and hugged each of the remaining members of the family. Finally waving goodnight, they started for their cottage. With speed, they were home before they knew it. She followed Edward into Renesmee's room and watched as he tucked her in. Kissing her cheek as she slept so peacefully. Bella kissed Nessie on the temple and ran a hand through her hair. As they quietly left the room, she stood in front the fireplace, looking into the flames. "We can finally....live." She said not taking her eyes off of the flickering red and yellow flames.

Renesmee was soon settled into his arms as he could not stop staring at her as he let Bella and Jacob have their moment, he never did understand the connection that they would always have, but maybe he didn't want to know, after all Jacob had been there when he was not.
But what he did know was that they both had a common goal - to protect Renesmee with their lives, and for that he would always be grateful for Jacob that night he imprinted and saved his their daughter from the destruction from the Quilette tribe.
As they had said their goodbye's for the night, they made their way hastily back to the cottage, walking into Nessie's room, he laid her gently on the bed and tucked her in, leaning down to whisper in her ear "I love you"
Once they had both vacated the room, he found Bella standing in front of the fireplace, her eyes entranced by the flickering red and yellow flames.
"You never told me.....Your plan......Why?"
He walked over to stand next to Bella, placing both his hands upon her shoulders.

A smiled crossed her lips as she reached up and touched his hand that laid upon her shoulder. Of coarse he'd heard her conversation with Alice. About J. Jenks, everything. A moment passed and she turned to face him. She shook her head, before beginning. "It was the hardest thing I had to do, lying to you. Keeping you in the dark. But if you knew, and Aro read it in your thoughts, then Renesmee wouldn't have a fighting chance."
She reached up and placed her palm on his cheek. "It was never my intent to hide it from you, but it was the only way...for her. I was certain we'd perish, and I could not fathom her life being taken because of something way beyond her control. I hope you can forgive me." Bella said the last sentence softly.

He listened to her, her voice full of sorrow and regret, and he could not be angry with her, she was doing what she considered best action if all else failed....she would do everything to protect her daughter as would he.
"Bella.....I am not angry with you. I could never be angry with you. You did the right thing. There is nothing to forgive"
He lifted his hand to cradle her face, as his placed a chaste kiss on her forehead.
"You never have to apologize when it comes to Renesmee. Never"

Bella nodded and closed her eyes, her hand on his forearm. As he kissed her forehead, she knew everything was right in the world. All was how it should be, and now they could start their forever. Looking up at him as she reached up to kiss his lips, his hand now on the back of her head.
All that they'd been through, every moment had led to this...everything they'd fought for and fought to protect, had brought them to this point. It had all been worth it. A sense of euphoria washed over her as she took in the moment. Almost forgetting what she had for him as she pulled away slightly. "Wait....I want to try something, first." Zafrina had been working with her privately on this and she only hoped it would work.

He became lost in her lips as he let his arms snake around her waist to pull her more closely towards him, their forever had begun to start, and start together they would forever. He wanted this moment to be special for them both, when she pulled away from him.
"What is it?"
His face frowned as he became unsure of what she was doing, unaware of what she was planning. He remained still and let her carry on, her eyes capturing his own as he waited and listened to her, finding it almost different to not hear the heart beat that was once there.

Bella closed her eyes in concentration, placing a hand on each a side of his face. She could feel the elastic band of her shield recoil slightly as it tried to protect her. Straining to pull it entirely away from her as she thought. The gasp from his lips confirmed it was working as she thought harder. Thinking of specific memories she'd waited so long to share with him. Some of the human memories a bit dim since they were seen and heard through human eyes and ears. The first time I saw your face, I was mesmerized. The way it felt when you held me in the meadow, the sound of your voice through the failing consciousness when you saved my life from James, Asking for my hand in marriage, Your face while you waited under the canopy of flowers to marry me, becoming your wife.

He watched suspiciously as Bella placed her soft hands onto each side of his face, closing her eyes as eyed her, wondering what it was that she was doing....Then it hit him like a ton of falling bricks.
He could hear her.....for the first time.
He could see and feel what she felt what she experienced when she was human. Something he never had the privilege of before. He almost stumbled on the spot, it shocked him, he could feel the love that she had for him, showing him all that she had felt and seen, rendering him speechless.
"B-Bella......How?"

She began to think more sharper, waking up as a vampire, that first kiss....that first night...when his lips crushed into hers. With a gasp, she lost focus and it snapped back protecting her thoughts once again. "Oops, lost it." His face was bewildered and curious. Eyes staring into hers as he asked, "B-Bella.....how?" Was all he could mutter.
"Zafrina's idea. We practiced a few times, trying to get it right. But, now you know...no one has ever loved you as much as I do." Giving him a proud smile that it worked as she waited to see what he thought.

"But, now you know...no one has ever loved you as much as I do."
Edward stood dumbfounded as he could not seem to take it all in, all he ever wanted was to hear inside Bella's mind, and now he could hear and see everything that she was willing to show. Their first night together, he chuckled as he imagined the blush that would cross her cheeks.
"I love Mrs Bella Cullen.....Always"

"I love you, Mr. Edward Cullen. Forever." She smiled and gripped his shirt as she pulled him closer to her. Leaving a trail of kisses from his jaw to his lips as she grinned. "We have forever..." He still seems so dumbfounded and slightly bemused.
Wrapping her arms around his torso as she looked up at him. "I can't tell you how happy I am, well I can...but. You know...." She trailed off with a smile, knowing she could allow him into her thoughts only when she allowed. That was sort of refreshing, knowing some thoughts could and would stay private.

"No measure of time will ever be enough....But yes, we have forever"
He wrapped his arms once again around her waist as he continued to smile down at her as her eyes blazed into his own, cherishing the memories that he would replay over in his mind, the first moment that he had gotten what he had always wanted....To hear Bella. A memory that would live forever.

Her forehead resting on his chin, as she ran her fingers along his neck. Looking up into his blazing eyes, as he bent down slightly, his lips meeting hers in a gentle, sweet kiss. Both her hands on his neck as they found themselves on the wooden floor next to the fire.
The flickering flames doing their dance as their passion rose with the same heat. A giggle escaping her lips as he kissed her in numerous places, her hands fisting his hair. "Edward...." She spoke softly, as their bodies intertwined.
