Epilogue: From Jacob's point of view. I'm sure this won't get old!

Oh hey, what do you know? This book isn't over yet after all. See, we have an epilogue, and it's no ordinary epilogue at that. It's told from Jacob's point of view, the first part of these novels that hasn't come straight through a Bella filter.

Leah is being annoying. Jacob went out to the La Push cliffs to have a little alone time, but Leah just won't go away. She's a little pissed off at Jacob, since the pack makes his thoughts her thoughts (and everyone else's, for that matter). Since Jacob loves Bella, everyone in the pack gets to experience that. Leah says she had a dream last night where she was kissing Bella.

In case you were wondering, there's no shortage of Bella/Leah fanfiction. I looked so you won't have to. Thank me later.

Leah thinks that Jacob should just get over Bella anyway. She's going to be turned into a vampire, or more likely, die in the process. And you can't very well make out with a corpse. I mean, you could, but this is definitely not a book about that.

Jacob strikes back, pointing out that the whole pack has to see how she thinks about Sam. When he imprinted on Emily, he left a very unhappy Leah behind, and she still thinks about him. A lot.

Jacob then has a rather long internal monologue. I don't care, you don't care. Basically, he wonders what it'll be like when Bella is a vampire, and isn't sure if he'd want to kill her or if she'd still basically be Bella. If Edward accidentally killed Bella instead, then things would be so much simpler!

Jacob gets home, and there's mail waiting for him. A wedding invitation, to be exact, to the Swan-Cullen extravaganza taking place later that summer. It comes with a note from Edward, who says that he'd want the choice if Bella had ended up with Jacob, so even though he's not supposed to get in touch with him, he wanted to give Jacob the option of coming to the wedding. Which is exactly what any guy would do with his fiancee's other love interest who she made out with last week. It's great having you back, Unrealistic Sparkling Edward!

Jacob, however, doesn't take it so well. He goes all wolf and runs away. One by one, his packmates let him go, with Sam commanding them all to phase back to human form so that Jacob can be alone with his thoughts. Jacob runs right off the page and out of the book, hopefully escaping from Breaking Dawn before it's too late.

Ah, but things are never that easy. Stay tuned for the grand finale, as I read...Breaking Dawn!
