The Emotional Roller Coaster Of Life has several ongoing long term storylines. Among those, we have rehab, pregnancy, construction, and adoption.
The first of these, rehab, which Edward is undergoing, can be a any number of different lengths, but most traditional rehabs are 30, 60, or 90 days and then are things like NA (Narcotics Anonymous) out there to offer continued support after the end of rehab. For Edward's sake, I put him in a 90 day program. That's because I felt due to his heavy addiction, he needed a longer time in rehab. With that being said, you will definitely see him get out of rehab during this story.
Second there is pregnancy, which, as we know, in humans in a nine month term in all. At the start of this story, Rosalie was three months pregnant, and (if Bella is pregnant) Bella was about 2 months along. We will definitely see Rosalie's child before the last chapter, but Bella's, most likely, won't be revealed until the epilogue.
Third, construction of property. In this case, it's a huge property. Construction is one of those things that can vary in length based on size of property, weather, reliability of the construction workers, money and a dozen other things. We get to see the start of the work during the story, but the final product won't be revealed until the epilogue.
Then, there's adoption. Adoption is not a short thing by any mean. My little brother adopted a little girl not quite two years ago now, so I got to see a pretty good second hand experience of how it works. Adoption is generally a two phase process. The pre-placement (the joy of social workers determining if you are fit to raise a kid) and post-placement. For the purposes of the this story, the girls Alice and Jasper are interested in adopting and the girls Peter and Charlotte are working to adopt are all what some people to consider to be "troubled" children. This means their generally less desirable in a lot of people's eyes. This is an unfortunate thing that happens with adoption, most people who adopt generally want perfectly healthy, beautiful, and normal infants - generally they don't want older kids, kids with health issues, or with mental issues, or criminal charges - and just quick note with this, if you are wanting to adopt a healthy young infant, waiting lists that last excess of five years are nothing. As the kids Alice and Jasper have decided to bring into their lives do not fall in that category, but instead are troubled - a Somalian refugee child with an aversion to men and a girl who hurt herself in the past (details still to be revealed in the story) - pre-placement usually only takes a few months. We should get to see the kids for a little bit before the end of the story. Post-placement is a time period before adoption is completed where the kid lives with you and there is heavy monitoring to make sure the fit will work. Post-placement a minimum of six months. With that being said, they won't fully adopted until the epilogue.
Makes sense!
