"So it was a combination of things there at the end, but what it really boiled down to was... Bella,"Edward was explaining. Our family and our two remaining guests sat in the Cullens' great room while theforest turned black outside the tall windows.

  Vladimir and Stefan had vanished before we'd stopped celebrating. They were extremely disappointedin the way things had turned out, but Edward said that they'd enjoyed the Volturi's cowardice1 almostenough to make up for their frustration2.

  Benjamin and Tia were quick to follow after Amun and Kebi, anxious to let them know the outcome ofthe conflict; I was sure we would see them again—Benjamin and Tia, at least. None of the nomadslingered. Peter and Charlotte had a short conversation with Jasper, and then they were gone, too.

  The reunited Amazons had been anxious to return home as well—they had a difficult time being awayfrom their beloved rain forest—though they were more reluctant to leave than some of the others.

  "You must bring the child to see me," Zafrina had insisted. "Promise me, young one."Nessie had pressed her hand to my neck, pleading as well.

  "Of course, Zafrina," I'd agreed.

  "We shall be great friends, my Nessie," the wild woman had declared before leaving with her sisters.

  The Irish coven continued the exodus4.

  "Well done, Siobhan," Carlisle complimented her as they said goodbye.

  "Ah, the power of wishful thinking," she answered sarcastically5, rolling her eyes. And then she wasserious. "Of course, this isn't over. The Volturi won't forgive what happened here."Edward was the one to answer that. "They've been seriously shaken; their confidence is shattered. But,yes, I'm sure they'll recover from the blow someday. And then . . ." His eyes tightened6. "I imagine they'lltry to pick us offseparately.""Alice will warn us when they intend to strike," Siobhan said in a sure voice. "And we'll gather again.

  Perhaps the time will come when our world is ready to be free of the Volturi altogether.""That time may come," Carlisle replied. "If it does, we'll stand together.""Yes, my friend, we will," Siobhan agreed. "And how can we fail, when /will it otherwise?" She let out agreat peal7 of laughter.

  "Exactly," Carlisle said. He and Siobhan embraced, and then he shook Liam's hand. "Try to find Alistairand tell him what happened. I'd hate to think of him hiding under a rock for the next decade."Siobhan laughed again. Maggie hugged both Nessie and me, and then the Irish coven was gone.

  The Denalis were the last to leave, Garrett with them—as he would be from now on, I was fairly sure.

  The atmosphere of celebration was too much for Tanya and Kate. They needed time to grieve for theirlost sister.

  Huilen and Nahuel were the ones who stayed, though I had expected those last two to go back with theAmazons. Carlisle was deep in fascinated conversation with Huilen; Nahuel sat close beside her, listeningwhile Edward told the rest of us the story of the conflict as only he knew it.

  "Alice gave Aro the excuse he needed to get out of the fight. If he hadn't been so terrified of Bella, heprobably would have gone ahead with their original plan.""Terrified?" I said skeptically. "Of me?"He smiled at me with a look I didn't entirely8 recognize—it was tender, but also awed9 and evenexasperated. "When will you ever see yourself clearly?" he said softly. Then he spoke10 louder, to theothers as well as to me. "The Volturi haven't fought a fair fight in about twenty-five hundred years. Andthey've never, never fought one where they were at a disadvantage. Especially since they gained Jane andAlec, they've only been involved with unopposed slaughterings.

  "You should have seen how we looked to them! Usually, Alec cuts off all sense and feeling from theirvictims while they go through the charade11 of a counsel. That way, no one can run when the verdict isgiven. But there we stood, ready, waiting, outnumbering them, with gifts of our own while their gifts wererendered useless by Bella. Aro knew that with Zafrina on our side, they would be the blind ones whenthe battle commenced. I'm sure our numbers would have been pretty severely12 decimated, but they weresure that theirs would be, too. There was even a good possibility that they would lose. They've neverdealt with that possibility before. They didn't deal with it well today.""Hard to feel confident when you're surrounded by horse-sized wolves," Emmett laughed, pokingJacob's arm.

  Jacob flashed a grin at him.

  "It was the wolves that stopped them in the first place," I said.

  "Sure was," Jacob agreed.

  "Absolutely," Edward agreed. "That was another sight they've never seen. The true Children of theMoon rarely move in packs, and they are never much in control of themselves. Sixteen enormousregimented wolves was a surprise they weren't prepared for. Caius is actually terrified of werewolves. Healmost lost a fight with one a fewthousand years ago and never got over it.""So there are real werewolves?" I asked. "With the full moon and silver bullets and all that?"Jacob snorted. "Real. Does that make me imaginary?""You know what I mean.""Full moon, yes," Edward said. "Silver bullets, no—that was just another one of those myths to makehumans feel like they had a sporting chance. There aren't very many of them left. Caius has had themhunted into near extinction13.""And you never mentioned this because... ?""It never came up."I rolled my eyes, and Alice laughed, leaning forward—she was tucked under Edward's other arm—towink at me.

  I glared back.

  I loved her insanely, of course. But now that I'd had a chance to realize that she was really home, thather defection was only a ruse14 because Edward had to believe that she'd abandoned us, I was beginningto feel pretty irritated with her. Alice had some explaining to do.

  Alice sighed. "Just get it off your chest, Bella.""How could you do that to me, Alice?""It was necessary.""Necessary!" I exploded. "You had me totally convinced that we were all going to die! I've been awreck for weeks.""It might have gone that way," she said calmly. "In which case you needed to be prepared to saveNessie."Instinctively15, I held Nessie—asleep now on my lap—tighter in my arms.

  "But you knew there were other ways, too," I accused. "You knew there was hope. Did it ever occur toyou that you could have told me everything? I know Edward had to think we were at a dead end forAro's sake, but you could have told me."She looked at me speculatively16 for a moment. "I don't think so," she said. "You're just not that good anactress.""This was about my acting17 skills?""Oh, take it down an octave, Bella. Do you have any idea how complicated Ms was to set up? Icouldn't even be sure that someone like Nahuel existed—all I knew was that I would be looking forsomething I couldn't see! Try to imagine searching for a blind spot—not the easiest thing I've ever done.

  Plus we had to send back the key witnesses, like we weren't in enough of a hurry. And then keeping myeyes open all the time in case you decided18 to throw me any more instructions. At some point you're goingto have to tell me what exactly is in Rio. Before any of that, I had to try to see every trick the Volturimight come in with and give you what few clues I could so you would be ready for their strategy, and Ionly had just a few hours to trace out all the possibilities. Most of all, I had to make sure you'd all believethat I was ditching out on you, because Aro had to be positive that you had nothing left up your sleevesor he never would have committed to an out the way he did. And if you think I didn't feel like aschmuck—""Okay, okay!" I interrupted. "Sorry! I know it was rough for you, too. It's just that... well, I missed youlike crazy, Alice. Don't do that to me again."Alice's trilling laugh rang through the room, and we all smiled to hear that music once more. "I missedyou, too, Bella. So forgive me, and try to be satisfied with being the superhero of the day."Everyone else laughed now, and I ducked my face into Nessie's hair, embarrassed.

  Edward went back to analyzing19 every shift of intention and control that had happened in the meadowtoday, declaring that it was my shield that had made the Volturi run away with their tails between theirlegs. The way everyone looked at me made me uncomfortable. Even Edward. It was like I had grown ahundred feet during the course of the morning. I tried to ignore the impressed looks, mostly keeping myeyes on Nessie's sleeping face and Jacob's unchanged expression. I would always be just Bella to him,and that was a relief.

  The hardest stare to ignore was also the most confusing one.

  It wasn't like this half-human, half-vampire20 Nahuel was used to thinking of me in a certain way. For all heknew, I went around routing attacking vampires21 every day and the scene in the meadow had beennothing unusual at all. But the boy never took his eyes off me. Or maybe he was looking at Nessie. Thatmade me uncomfortable, too.

  He couldn't be oblivious22 to the fact that Nessie was the only female of his kind that wasn't his half-sister.

  I didn't think this idea had occurred to Jacob yet. I kind of hoped it wouldn't soon. I'd had enoughfighting to last me for a while.

  Eventually, the others ran out of questions for Edward, and the discussion dissolved into a bunch ofsmaller conversations.

  I felt oddly tired. Not sleepy, of course, but just like the day had been long enough. I wanted somepeace, some normality. I wanted Nessie in her own bed; I wanted the walls of my own little home aroundme.

  I looked at Edward and felt for a moment like I could read his mind. I could see he felt exactly the sameway. Ready for some peace.

  "Should we take Nessie ..."'That's probably a good idea," he agreed quickly. "I'm sure she didn't sleep soundly last night, what withall the snoring."He grinned at Jacob.

  Jacob rolled his eyes and then yawned. "It's been a while since I slept in a bed. I bet my dad would get akick out of having me under his roof again."I touched his cheek. "Thank you, Jacob.""Anytime, Bella. But you already know that."He got up, stretched, kissed the top of Nessie's head, and then the top of mine. Finally, he punchedEdward's shoulder. "See you guys tomorrow. I guess things are going to be kind of boring now, aren'tthey?""I fervently23 hope so," Edward said.

  We got up when he was gone; I shifted my weight carefully so that Nessie was never jostled. I wasdeeplygrateful to see her getting a sound sleep. So much weight had been on her tiny shoulders. It was time shegot to be a child again—protected and secure. A few more years of childhood.

  The idea of peace and security reminded me of someone who didn't have those feelings all the time.

  "Oh, Jasper?" I asked as we turned for the door.

  Jasper was sandwiched tight in between Alice and Esme, somehow seeming more central to the familypicture than usual. "Yes, Bella?"Tm curious—why is J. Jenks scared stiff by just the sound of your name?"Jasper chuckled24."It's just been my experience that some kinds of working relationships are bettermotivated by fear than by monetary25 gain."I frowned, promising26 myself that I would take over that working relationship from now on and spare Jthe heart attack that was surely on the way.

  We were kissed and hugged and wished a good night to our family. The only off note was Nahuel again,who looked intently after us, as if he wished he could follow.

  Once we were across the river, we walked barely faster than human speed, in no hurry, holding hands. Iwas sick of being under a deadline, and I just wanted to take my time. Edward must have felt the same.

  "I have to say, I'm thoroughly27 impressed with Jacob right now," Edward told me.

  "Thewolves make quite an impact, don't they?""That's not what I mean. Not once today did he think about the fact that, according to Nahuel,Nessiewill befully matured in just six and a half years."I considered that for a minute. "He doesn't see her that way. He's not in a hurry for her to grow up.Hejust wants her to be happy.""I know. Like I said, impressive. It goes against the grain to say so, but she could do worse."I frowned. "I'm not going to think about that for approximately six and a half more years."Edward laughed and then sighed. "Of course, itlooks like he'll have some competition to worry aboutwhen the time comes."My frown deepened. "I noticed. I'm grateful to Nahuel for today, but all the staring was a little weird28. Idon't care if she is the only half-vampire he's not related to.""Oh, he wasn't staring at her—he was staring at you."That's what it had seemed like... but that didn't make any sense. "Why would he do that?""Because you're alive," he said quietly.

  "You lost me.""All his life," he explained,"—and he's fifty years older than I am—""Decrepit," I interjected.

  Heignored me. "He's always thought of himself as an evil creation, a murderer by nature. His sistersallkilled their mothers as well, but they thought nothing of it. Joham raised them to think of the humans asanimals, while theywere gods. But Nahuel was taught by Huilen, and Huilen loved her sister more than anyone else. Itshaped his whole perspective. And, in some ways, he truly hated himself.""That'sso sad,"I murmured.

  "And then he saw the three of us—and realized for the first time that just because he ishalf immortal29, itdoesn't mean he is inherently evil. He looks at me and sees... what his father should have been.""You are fairly ideal in every way," I agreed.

  He snorted and then was serious again. "He looks at you and sees the life his mother should have had.""Poor Nahuel," Imurmured, and then sighed because I knew I would never be able to think badly of himafter this, no matter how uncomfortable his stare made me.

  "Don't be sad for him. He's happy now. Today, he's finally begun to forgive himself."I smiled for Nahuel's happiness and then thought that today belonged to happiness. Though Irina'ssacrifice wasa dark shadow against the white light, keeping the moment from perfection, the joy wasimpossible to deny. The life I'd fought for was safe again. My family was reunited. My daughter had abeautiful future stretching out endlessly in front of her. Tomorrow I would go see my father; he would seethat the fear in my eyes had been replaced with joy, and he would be happy, too. Suddenly, I was surethat I wouldn't find him there alone. I hadn't been as observant as I might have been in the last fewweeks, but in this moment it was like I'd known all along. Sue would be with Charlie—thewerewolves'

  mom with the vampire's dad—and he wouldn't be alone anymore. I smiled widely at this new insight.

  But most significant in this tidal wave of happiness was the surest fact ofall: I was with Edward.

  Forever.

  Not that I'd want to repeat the last several weeks, but I had to admit they'd made me appreciate what Ihad more than ever.

  The cottage was a place of perfect peace in the silver-blue night. We carried Nessie to her bed andgently tucked her in. She smiled as she slept.

  I took Aro's gift from around my neck and tossed it lightly into the corner of her room. She could playwith it if she wished; she liked sparkly things.

  Edward and I walked slowly to our room, swinging our arms between us.

  "A night for celebrations," he murmured, and he put his hand under my chin to lift my lips to his.

  "Wait," I hesitated, pulling away.

  He looked at me in confusion. As a general rule, I didn't pull away. Okay, it was more than a generalrule. This was a first.

  "I want to try something," I informed him, smiling slightly at his bewildered expression.

  I put my hands on both sides of his face and closed my eyes in concentration.

  I hadn't done very well with this when Zafrina had tried to teach me before, but I knew my shield betternow. I understood the part that fought against separation from me, the automatic instinct to preserve selfaboveall else.

  Itstill wasn't anywhere near as easy as shielding other people along with myself. I felt the elastic30 recoilagain asmy shield fought to protect me. I had to strain to push it entirely away from me; it took all of my focus.

  "Bella!" Edward whispered in shock.

  I knew it was working then, so I concentrated even harder, dredging up the specific memories I'd savedfor this moment, letting them flood my mind, and hopefully his as well.

  Some of the memories were not clear—dim human memories, seen through weak eyes and heardthrough weak ears: the first time I'd seen his face... the way it felt when he'd held me in the meadow... thesound of his voice through the darkness of my faltering31 consciousness when he'd saved me from James...

  his face as he waited under a canopy32 of flowers to marry me... every precious moment from the island...

  his cold hands touching33 our baby through my skin...

  And the sharp memories, perfectly34 recalled: his face when I'd opened my eyes to my new life, to theendless dawn of immortality35... that first kiss... that first night...

  His lips, suddenly fierce against mine, broke my concentration.

  With a gasp36, I lost my grip on the struggling weight I was holding away from myself. It snapped backlike stressed elastic, protecting my thoughts once again.

  "Oops, lost it!" I sighed.

  "I heard you," he breathed. "How? How did you do that?""Zafrina's idea. We practiced with it a few times."He was dazed. He blinked twice and shook his head.

  "Now you know," I said lightly, and shrugged37. "No one's ever loved anyone as much as I love you.""You're almost right." He smiled, his eyes still a little wider than usual. "I know of just one exception.""Liar38."He started to kiss me again, but then stopped abruptly39.

  "Can you do it again?" he wondered.

  I grimaced40. "It's very difficult."He waited, his expression eager.

  "I can't keep it up if I'm even the slightest bit distracted," I warned him.

  "I'll be good," he promised.

  I pursed my lips, my eyes narrowing. Then I smiled.

  I pressed my hands to his face again, hefted the shield right out of my mind, and then started in where I'dleft off—with the crystal-clear memory of the first night of my new life... lingering on the details.

  I laughed breathlessly when his urgent kiss interrupted my efforts again.

  "Damn it," he growled41, kissing hungrily down the edge of my jaw42.

  "We have plenty of time to work on it," I reminded him.

  "Forever and forever and forever," he murmured.

  "That sounds exactly right to me."And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of our forever.
