Faith, Hope, And Love

Epilogue:

Two years later…

She watched from the top of the hill as the two women played with their children. She was happy they were happy, even if she was jealous. Her life hadn’t turned out at all the way she had planned when she was ten.

She was going to be friends with Rose and Bella forever, and they were all going to marry their sweethearts. At least the other two women had gotten to. If someone would have told her Jasper would cheat on her and leave her, she would have laughed at them. Not now. She had asked him four months prior why he hadn’t proposed and why they didn’t have a family. He had looked her in the eye and told her he had met someone else. He had packed up his stuff and walked out on her. Now she was left floundering.

Bella felt eyes on her and looked up, spotting Alice standing on the hill. She lifted her hand to shield her eyes, just to make sure it was her.

“What are you looking at, Bella?”

She pointed. “Alice.”

Rose turned around, rubbing a hand on her growing belly. ” I wonder why she doesn’t come down.”

Bella shrugged. “I’m gonna go talk to her. Will you watch Sadie for me?”

“Sure.” Rose smiled as Bella made her way up the hill to where Alice was standing.

“Ali? What are you doing?”

Alice shrugged. “Just watching. Sadie is getting so big, Bella.”

Bella watched her daughter run on her chubby little legs after Rose and Emmett’s two year old son, Matthew. “She just learned to walk, so for her to be running is a feat.”

Sadie was a surprise who arrived nine months after Edward and Bella were married. She was the apple of her daddy’s eye and he was already trying to convince Bella to have another.

“How’s everyone?”

Bella looked back at Alice. “You could come visit, Alice.”

She shook her head. “I can’t be around Jasper. I’m so hurt and seeing him flaunt her around town isn’t easy. I actually came to say goodbye.”

“What? Where are you going?” Bella wanted to know.

“I’m not sure. With mom gone, Jasper and I over, there’s really nothing keeping me here. I’ll drop you a line when I get settled.” Alice turned back to her. “I’m gonna miss you guys so much.”

Alice leaned in and gave Bella a hug. When she pulled back, Bella noticed the tears on Alice’s face.

“Take care, Bells.” Alice’s voice broke as she turned, ran to her car, climbed in, and drove away.

“Goodbye, Alice,” Bella whispered to the wind. She then walked back down the hill and watched as her daughter toddled her way over to her.

“Mama!”

Bella scooped her baby girl up and smiled as she squealed in happiness.

**FHL**

“What was that all about?” Rose wanted to know as they were making dinner later that evening and waiting for the boys to get home.

“She was saying goodbye. She left town.”

“Who left town?” Edward asked as he came into the kitchen, Emmett and Jasper on his heels.

“Alice.” Bella met Jasper’s eyes. “She came by the park while we had the kids there. She said goodbye.”

“Where did she go?” Edward wanted to know.

“She didn’t say. She’s going to call when she gets settled.” Bella turned to look at all of them. 

They all nodded, but then went back to their lives. Alice would live hers as she saw fit. They couldn’t do anything about that. They were all happy now and in good places.

As she lay in bed that night, Edward’s arms wrapped around her, she came to a decision.

“I’m ready.”

“Ready for what, baby?” Edward leaned in and kissed her shoulder.

Bella rolled over and smiled at him while placing her hand on his chest over his heart. “I’m ready for you to give me another baby.”

Edward’s smile lit the room, and as they came together, they forgot all about everything and everyone but themselves.
