Forever
The characters and essential plot are not a product of my imagitnation rather, they belong to the very talented ms meyer.
Forever. The connotations of the word seeped through me, in my sub-conscious slumber. A lifetime, no; an eternity of this. This... this… Happiness? No... No much more than happiness, the word seemed inadequate. Bliss. Pure, un-tarnished bliss. I breathed deeply, sighing into the soft tufts of my Edwards bronze hair. For two who were incapable of sleep due to their un-human characteristics, the peace that consumed my body was second to none id ever experienced in the deepest of slumber. I looked down to see my love gazing at my tan deficient hand. Even whiter since my new life began. He traced the creases. The life line. The love line. With the softest of touch. I guessed his gentle appraisal of my hand was an echo of how fragile I had once been to him. He traced the blue vein of my wrist stopping where it ended, where he planted his lips in the most tender of kisses. I shuddered with the intimacy. No matter how hard I tried, I still failed to grasp the fact that I was his. That I even came close to deserving him, even after all we'd been through. He had felt my shudder. "What are you thinking my love?" came the ring of his melodic voice. I let out a giggle then whispered in his ear. "Let me show you". I had been practising. I stretched the rubber band of my power to keep my thoughts locked away from Edwards probing intuition and opened my heart to him I let him see the visions of us entwined that filled my heart, the love that bound us together. "Hmmmm" he chuckled breathing in deeply, nuzzling into my shoulder. Again my thoughts closed. "No fair" Edward mumbled. And I laughed, pushing him back so I could see the liquid-topaz eyes that I fell in love with. He half sat up to cup the back of my head to bring it closer to him in order to find my lips. Was it possible to feel even as a vampire, dizzy? His scent filled my mind, even more intense due to the excellent reception of my vampire senses. I pulled off with a smile. "You're dazzling me" I accused and Edward smiled ruefully, apparently pleased he still had the same effect.
Our eyes stared into one another's; garnet locked with topaz; suddenly broke away when a loud and heavy "thud" sounded from the other room shattering our dreamlike state. In a split second, with our vampire/ parent reflexes, we ran to the other room with nothing but a ruffle of the gossamer curtain to tell of our arrival we stood tentatively over the sleeping form that was the most important thing in our world. Her blonde ringlets darkening to a bronze like her fathers swept over her face, and her full lips pouted a bit as she screwed up her nose apparently concentrating on something in her dream. "Jacob" she whispered. She was dreaming of her Jacob. The were-wolf who had once loved me now imprinted on my little girl, who apparently loved him in the depths of her soul in return. I sighed remembering how I used to dream of my love. My Edward. When he would fill my mind as I slept. For a second I thought of how it would be to sleep again, to dream again. But a swift glance across at the man who I had given my human life up for. Who was now scowling at the fact that his little girl was dreaming of a dog; made the impulse to sleep drift away entirely, as long as I were with him nothing mattered.
I was getting distracted.
I turned my attention back to my beautiful baby girl Nessie. My eyes scanning over her for any sign of hurt, wondering what the "bump" sound had been. Not even a few seconds had passed, then a breeze that fluttered though the open window, alerted me to the fact that we were not alone. I smelt dog. I whirled around to face a smirking Jacob, who seemed slightly embarrassed. I stared wide eyed at him. "Jacob why are you…" I trailed off. I knew why he was here.
