The final chapter in Bella and Edward's life. It was actually my favorite book of the series...surprisingly.It begins with Bella and Edward's wedding. Jacob is of course heartbroken over the marriage, but knows that he has tried and can not change Bella's mind. Bella and Edward honeymoon on a private island off the coast of Brazil. While there, Bella realizes that 1) she is pregnant with Edward's "baby" and 2) she will do anything to protect the life within her.
As Bella's pregnancy progresses at an astonishingly quick rate, the "baby" is slowly taking all the life from Bella. Jacob's werewolf pack finds out about the pregnancy and plans to destroy Bella and the baby. Because of this, Jacob leaves the pack and unwillingly starts his own pack. Bella finally gives birth, but not before the baby has broken most of her bones and caused her a massive amount of blood loss. To save Bella's life, Edward turns her into a vampire. Jacob imprints on the baby, Renesmee, to Bella and Edwards' dismay.
Bella loves her new life as a vampire and delights in her daughter. That couldn't be the end of the book, though. Of course there has to be a life-threatening conflict somewhere. The most powerful vampire family comes to find Bella, Edward, and Renesmee to destroy them. In a surprising plot twist, it is Bella's special vampire skill that saves the family and convinces their enemies to leave them alone permanently.
And then there was happily ever after.
Based on Beth's opinion of the book, I was all set to hate it. But I actually loved it. I loved that Bella finally got what she wanted. Jacob's pain was finally resolved in imprinting with Renesmee. That also took care of keeping Jacob in Bella's life. It tied all the unresolved things up, but seemed plausible at the same time (as plausible as having a vampire baby is.)
