* Your feet brush against the rim of your car as you jump out of the car, your wedding ring glittering on your finger.
* “We didn’t get enough mint.” You sigh, and Edward shrugs beside you
* “Do you think the cows would make do with parsley?” He laughs when you wrinkle your nose.
* You’ve built a decent life in Volterra, you have a large farm on the outskirts of the city, occasionally you travel to the castle to help with the work, but for the most part you’re just a figurehead - a symbol for the cause, it’s only been about a year since you and Edward got married, but life is good
* You’re making your way to the porch of your small villa when you see two figures on the porch
* “Alec, Jane what are you-“
* “We want to live with you.” Alec blurts out, and Jane smacks her own forehead, yanking on his arm
* “Do you remember what I said about Tact?” She hisses
* Though you suppose her complaint falls on deaf ears since your smile gives Alec all the reassurance he needs
* “Well there will have to be some ground rules,” you say, and Edward nods beside you. “You’re not allowed to directly drink from any of the animals.” Edward gives you a pointed look. “Oh, right, and you’re not allowed to drink from Edward either.”
* Jane wrinkles her nose “trust me I wouldn’t want to, he smells like spoiled milk.”
* “It’s all the gelato.” You nod, and Edward seems slightly hurt.
* “I would never hurt an animal, they’re such kind creatures.”
* “Well then welcome to the coven.”
* They adapt well, Edward teaches Alec how to cook
* “The onions have to be tender before you add in the minced garlic, otherwise it’ll burn.”
* And Jane helps you with opening your restaurant
* “It’s going to be like a speakeasy,” you say. “We’ll have human food out front, and blood in the back.”
* “A double operation.” She nods
* You spend your free time playing songs on the piano with Alec and Jane watching with wide eyes
* “Will you play that one again?”
* Alec is the first to become human.
* “I wonder if it might be fun, to go to school, or to fall in love,” his eyes flicker between you and Edward. “Just to live a normal life.”
* Edward poses as his older brother and enrolls him into the boys academy nearby,
* Jane isn’t ready yet
* “I can’t imagine being accepted by people after all I’ve done.”
* “That’s okay,” you tell her, hugging her to your side. “You can take your time.”
* The days fall around you the leaves of a tree, days filled with so much joy you don’t notice they’ve gone at all
* James and Victoria find you much later, with James wearing a grin.
* “I had a feeling you would be here.” He has a penchant for taking care of the animals, as well as helping Marcus in the castle
* You even see Rosalie and Emmett when they come by your restaurant to visit you
* “And look who we brought!” Rosalie holds up a baby so beautiful venom drips down your cheeks.
* “Can I hold them?” So small and fragile, you hold them for only a moment before giving her to Edward.
* “Alice and Jasper haven’t turned, Alice likes the otherworldly vibe.”
* “I’ve noticed.”
* “Carlisle turned but Esme hasn’t.”
* “Really?”
* “Yeah I figure if she doesn’t follow he’ll have to turn back to keep their marriage alive.” You laugh at that
* As the days go by more and more of your friends and family become human, first it was Irina, then Eleazer, then Carmen. Tanya and Kate still remain vampires but you have a feeling they’ll cross over soon
* “You know, you could turn now too. Maybe not for long, just a handful of months.” Edward says. “If you’re worried, I can turn back.” You shake your head
* “I’m waiting for Jane, I don’t want her to think she’s holding me back or to feel like she was abandoned.” He only nods
* You’re not sure if Jane will ever be comfortable enough to turn human again, but you’re willing to wait
* It’s what family does
* For a while she doesn’t show any disposition of it, not until you hear the bell from your door ring, and four arms wrapping around you, tackling you to the ground
* “Hey Bella, Hey Jessica, long time no see.”
* It’s strange seeing them again, both of them so comfortable in young adulthood
* Jessica is going to Washington State, and getting her Bachelors in business
* “So you’re going to be CEO in ten years is what I’m hearing.”
* “Pretty much.”
* “Well remember your friends when your rich and famous.”
* “Oh shut up.” You laughs smacking your arm
* “What about you Bella?”
* She holds out her hand, a jewel glistening on her ring finger
* “To Leah?”
* Bella shakes her head
* “It didn’t work out with us, I always got the feeling she was hiding something”
* Probably the shapeshifter bit
* “Actually it’s this guy who I go to school with, his name is Riley.”
* Like Riley Beers??!? The college student from Seattle?
* “You’d love him, I’ll bring him with me next time, how did you afford this place by the way?”
* The Volturi bestow you with a lot of gifts when you save them from an eternity of working in toxic conditions
* “Micro loans and a lot of selling everything of value” you laugh, you did end up selling all of the jewelry you got in the wedding for this place
* Jane watches you from behind the counter, a small smile on her face
* That night after Edward and Alec have gone to sleep you sit beside her on the couch
* “What should we watch?”
* She’s quit for a moment, before her mouth opens
* “I’m ready to turn.” She says and the remote clatters to the ground
* “What?”
* “I want to be human, you made such beautiful friends, even after all this time they still love you, I want that too.” She admits.
* You watch as the color returns to Jane’s face, the freckles begin to reappear, the pink under one of her face, and the deep blue of her eyes.
* You hug her when she’s back
* It takes a few months for you to get comfortable
* For James to reassure you that he’s comfortable in vampirism and more than happy to take care of Jane and Alec
* For Marcus to assure you that he’s not going anywhere
* “I’ve survived all these centuries, what’s a few more?”
* For Sulpicia to rest her hand in yours as you both stare at the portrait of Didyme
* “It’s only fair you reap the reward of the seeds you’ve planted.”
* For Edward to hold you hands in his your forehead pressed against his
* “No matter what you decide, I’ll always love you, and I’ll stay with you - in whatever form you need.”
* You hold the vial in both hands
* “Is they all there is?” You wonder
* Parting your lips and finally, finally becoming human
Epilogue
* You watch his face carefully leaning forward, smirking a bit to yourself as you see the bright red or the apple on the cover
* “So how is it?”
* He only scowls
* “How can one person get so much wrong?”
* You laugh
* “I thought that bit about you stalking her was funny though.” Edward’s scowl only deepens
* “What did they say again? That the plot was inspired by a dream?” You snort. You’re sure it very much did feel like a dream when you approached that woman at a hotel bar, a little tipsy mind you, and told her your entire life story
* You thought it would be funny, maybe they’d see you as some unhinged degenerate
* Instead now there’s a book about you
* Well sort of
* “Come on we’re going to miss our flight.” Edward says, chucking the book into the trash. His gold eyes glimmering from the airport window
* You only nod, your one red eye and one gold eye twinkling as you make your way to the terminal, you hand laced through his.
