No prob. I am happy Edward was able to tell Bella his last thoughts...but not happy that Edward is using this whole loss in hopes of Bella moving in with him and the Cullens. I feel like he's got something up his sleeve here.

I understand he's just being a friend but honestly, that stuns me a little. Also, for her to even consider it and the option?

"The Cullens would accept me. Provide for me. Love me. Edward would be in love with me. And life would be as it could have been once upon a time."

He would be "in love" with her? Honestly, Bella! I want to kick you for this! If anything, I'm sure the Jake's family and the pack would be totally against her living with vampires and raising Jake and her child, the child of their lost brother and fellow wolf mate, under the Cullen's wing. Heck, Charlie wouldn't even allow it! (Just how will Charlie handle this news? Sighing heavily...This is too much to process). Anyway, that is just a slap in the face. Like Edward said, she has plenty of people who care about her and will help her, but I think moving in with the Cullens is where I would draw the line.

I wouldn't be too suspicious of Edward. He'd one of those guys who thinks he knows best and he wants what's best for Bella. He knows that he can take care of her and the baby financially. He can protect them from the supernatural badies out to get her. And he's not aging, just like her. So from his perspective, her moving in with the Cullens would make a lot sense.

But Bella understands it would be the wrong choice for her and the baby. We all consider things we would never actually do, so I wouldn't fault her too much for that internal monologue. The fact that she's able to say "no" to Edward when there's no Jacob to fall back on is kind of a big deal for her.

I think you'll like the epilogue. :)
