"No, that won't work for my client," Edward said in his sleek office overlooking Puget Sound. "You and I both know that his next contract should be at least double of what he currently has. He's got offers from across the country. But, being a hometown boy, he'd like to stay with the Seahawks." He listened to the other person on the other end of the line. "That's a much substantial offer. I'll bring it to my client. We'll be in touch."

Ending the call, he sent a text to his client, informing him about the new offer and he closed his computer. Placing it into his bag, he slung the bag over his body and walked to Alice's office. "I'm off. I've got kid duty today since Bella's at the gym late tonight."

"Give my godchildren kisses, Masen," Alice sang.

"You do the same with mine, Alice," Edward chuckled.

"I will, once they're born. These twins are using my bladder as a punching bag," Alice grumbled, rubbing her huge stomach. "I can't wait until I can see my feet again."

"They're still there, Ali," Edward smirked. "Have a good weekend." He walked through the office, waving at Jasper before he got in the elevator. He strode to his black Range Rover, sliding into the driver's seat and backed out of the spot. He drove to the elementary school where his two children attended.

Bella and Edward didn't want a long engagement. About a month after he proposed on the beach, they got married on the same beach, using Charlie's backyard as their reception venue. Within two months of being married, Bella got pregnant. Their first child, a boy named Patrick, was born on St. Patrick's Day. Their second baby, a girl named Elizabeth, was born a year later on April first. With the birth of Elizabeth, Edward got a vasectomy because they were happy with two children.

Blockbuster Epilogue ... Final Update

The movie, my movie, was met with rousing, amazing reviews and was a hit with both the critics and audiences alike. I was shocked, to say the least. With each interview, each review, and each comment posted online and shared in print media, I felt the tension leave my body, leaving me a boneless heap. After two weeks of promoting the movie, we flew back to San Francisco and decompressed as a family, holing in our new home, and sleeping off the jetlag.

In between much needed naps and bonding as new family, we also started working on planning our wedding. Well, planning and executing said plan.

You’d be shocked how much money talked.

We had everything set up for our August thirteenth nuptials. Caius paid for the venue, the Wandering Tree Estate in Lake Tahoe and was planning on paying for my dress, jewelry, and cake for the reception. Carlisle and Esme were paying for the catering, flowers, and photos. I wanted to help, but my family was covering it all.

The weekend after we’d returned from our whirlwind promotional tour, I was working in the backyard on mapping out my next book series. I was relishing in the quiet as Edward and Seth were out grocery shopping and running errands. Bear was curled up in the shade as I surfed the web, finding photo inspiration for my newest book. Bear’s head popped up, woofing quietly. I shielded my eyes, smiling when I saw Caius walking toward me. We’d given him a key since he was considered family. “Hey, Caius. Long time, no see.”

“Well, you were traveling the globe,” Caius teased, sitting down across from me. He gave Bear a pet before he pushed his sunglasses onto his bald head. “Have you recovered from your jetlag?”

“For the most part,” I answered. “What brings you here?”

“Two things,” Caius said. “One, I wanted to see my adoptive daughter. It’s been far too long, sweetheart. And two, to take you wedding dress shopping.”

“Caius …” I argued. “The dress I wore for the movie premiere was a wedding gown. I can wear that.”

“Oh, hell no,” Caius grumped. “Edward saw you in that. While it was absolutely beautiful, you deserve a beautiful, one-of-a-kind dress. Since, I’m spending most of next week in court, I want to take you out today. I tried to coordinate with Esme to come with us, but she had some emergency down in Los Angeles.”

“Is everything alright?” I asked, closing my laptop.

“Some model broke out in hives or something, begging Esme to support her or whatever,” Caius snickered, waving his hand dismissively. “I have Esme’s phone number if you find something. We can video call her.”

“Let me send Edward a quick text to let him know that we’re going out. I need to change. I’m not really dressed for wedding dress shopping,” I deadpanned, gesturing to my yoga pants and oversized shirt I’d pilfered from Edward’s side of the closet. “Give me a few?”

“Of course,” Caius answered, picking up a slimy tennis ball and waved it in front of Bear. My dog hopped up, his butt wriggling. Caius threw the ball and Bear took off like a shot, chasing the ball and barking happily. I giggled, darting upstairs to change. I put on a pretty summer dress that I’d gotten with Rose, along with a pair of sandals. I sent a brief message to Edward, explaining that I was going out with Caius and would be back for dinner. Edward sent his love, along with a goofy selfie with Seth. I smiled, saving the picture to my phone and went back downstairs. Caius brought in Bear and was filling up the water bowl. “I gave the furball some treats - the green toothbrushy things.”

“Thanks,” I laughed. “Bear has some major doggy breath. No matter how many times we brush his teeth, his breath is awful.” Picking up my purse, I ruffled Bears ears. “I’m ready to go.”

We got into Caius’s car, and he drove us to a fancy bridal salon in downtown San Francisco. Walking inside, we were greeted by a friendly consultant, Abby. We sat down and drank champagne while we talked about my wedding. Even though it was going to a smaller affair, my celebrity, along with Edward’s fame, made the wedding a bigger deal than I’d ever anticipated. With that being said, the consultant seemed to smell a hefty sale since the turnaround to pick up the dress was about a month.

“What are thinking for as a shape?” asked the consultant, Abby. I looked at her blankly. Abby chuckled, asking, “Designer?”

“Who was the designer who did your dress for the premiere?” Caius questioned.

“Reem something?” I replied.

“Oh, Reem Acra. Such beautiful designs,” Abby gushed. “Let me pull some of the most popular wedding dresses and ones that might fit your tiny frame.”

“Nothing strapless,” I said. “I have some injuries, scars on my back. I don’t want them on display.”

“What about thick straps? Or lace on the back?” Abby asked.

“Both sound really pretty,” I smiled. “I’d like that.”

“Okay,” Abby replied. “Let’s get you into a dressing room. There’s a silk robe in there for you. Just let me know if you want more champagne.”

Destination Date Update

March 30th, 2021

San Diego, California

Sitting in their van, Bella and Edward were working on their next YouTube video. It was a compilation of their time in San Diego, including some surfing, kayaking La Jolla, hitting up some of the best restaurants and spending time at the San Diego Zoo. With each video, their audience grew. They hit the mother lode when it came to the YouTube algorithm. Their channel hit 250,000 subscribers the day their first video for their van travels hit the internet. There were so many congratulations for their engagement and well-wishes for the beginning of their journey.

“I really like the freedom of traveling in this van. We’re working on a beach, watching the sunset,” Edward said, smiling at his fiancée.

“I was hesitant to take this leap,” Bella murmured honestly, pulling her legs up.

Edward looked at her, arching a brow. This was the first she’d mentioned it, but kind of understood why she would be. “How so?”

“Part of it was my fears,” she shrugged. “I was waiting for something to muck things up. Self-fulfilling prophecy or some shit.”

“And the other part?”

“I was waiting for you to throw me aside or lose you like everyone else in my life,” she sighed. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I’m here with you. It’s everything I ever dreamed of and more. I have a partner who adores me. You’ve given me everything I ever wanted – a family.”

He put his computer to the side and pulled Bella into his lap. “I’d never throw you aside, Glitter. Never. You’re my soul mate. The yin to my yang,” he smirked. She snickered, trailing her fingers through the soft curls at the nape of his neck. “I will always be with you, on your side, Bella. You’re my best friend and so much more. I was content before I met you, but now? I’m eager to face the next day with you, love.”

“I love you, Edward. So much,” she whispered, kissing his lips. They lost themselves in their embrace for a few moments until Bella’s cell phone rang. It was Miss Alice’s ring tone. “Nooooooo!”

“You look forward to these phone calls, baby,” Edward snickered. “Tell Miss Alice that I say hi. I’m going to try and get some editing done. I also want to get our next episode scheduled on YouTube.”

“Okay,” she grinned, climbing off his lap, and swiping her phone. “Can you also make dinner? There’s enough for a stir fry in the fridge.”

“Will do,” he said, waving as she walked out to the beach with a blanket to take the call from Miss Alice.
