In a fraction of a second, I was at Bella's side, the rest of my family still frozen. I put my hands on Bella's shoulders.

"Let her go, Rose," I said, my voice deadly.  She just stared back at me grimly. I searched her mind, trying to get a hold of her plans.  There was a resolve, a plan to protect the baby at all costs.  And an aching desire she couldn't hide to have that baby as her own....

******************

Her face was so deathly still, no response.  She was unearthly pale, and there was the slightest blue tinge to her skin, the sky pale at dawn.  As I pressed my lips to hers, they were too cool.  I blew in gently twice, watching her chest rise and fall mechanically. I moved my mouth to her ear as my hands began to move again.

"Come on, Bella, love," I whispered.  "Come on, sweetheart.  I'm right here.  You did it. You've got a healthy baby. She's so beautiful. You were strong enough.  Now it's time for you to come back.  She's waiting.  I'm waiting, love.  I'm waiting for you, always...

Four weeks before her wedding to Edward, Bella is frustrated. She knows there's little-to-no chance of getting him to bend his rules and boundaries now, but there's no harm in fantasizing about what could happen later. So she begins compiling a list of things that she and Edward can do together once they're happily married. She's surprised to find she might be able to cross some things off earlier than she thought...

Haunted by her past, Bella is broken and alone. Starting over in a new city, can she let go of the guilt that consumes her when she meets a beautiful tattoo artist, or will his own personal demons destroy them first?  AH/OOC

"In a moment’s time, I’d be his, entirely. The one thing I’d wanted more than anything itself. The pain, the pleasure- it was worth it knowing I’d be able to claim to be his…at long last.

"The silence in the room was deafening. The intimacy of this moment made the world hold its breath in anticipation. Time ceased to exist; the only fathomable concepts were Edward and me."

For all of us who read Breaking Dawn, closed the back cover and said; "Yeah...not what I expected..."

This is my version, my ending of the Twilight Saga. In short, it's purpose is to show how Edward and Bella meet the trials and tribulations of being newlyweds, Bella being a newborn as well as other things life has to offer. It's meant to highlight their love, devotion, the strengthening of their bond as well as how they grow together emotionally and physically.

Rated NC-17 for Mature themes, language and adult and sexual content.

WARNING: quite a few lemons here ;]
