This idea came to me in a random night at 4AM and I couldn't sleep. Haha. I've been hesitating for a while now about writing it but oh well i'll give it a shot. :)
I do not own twilight.
BELLA'S POV.
I was in heaven. Well, close enough. I lay in the big golden bed with Edward, who wrapped his arms around me, kissing my cheek exactly every thirty seconds. I couldn't say anything; my mouth didn't want to open, my body didn't want to function; I just wanted to stay here forever.
Forever ended quicker than I thought; Edward pulled away his icy body and grinned at me. I groaned at the departure.
Edward chuckled, "Stay here, i'll be back, I promise." I raised an eyebrow as he ran off at Vampire speed from his room, I sighed and snuggled myself into the pillow.
Edward was back in a flash, I didn't notice until he turned on the light, exposing his perfect muscular body. He was carrying a large, thick golden book.
I peeked up to get a better look at it and frowned, "don't tell me its a wedding catalogue..."
Edward chuckled and got back into the bed, "no, I promise."
I moved closer to him, soon we could take it further. "Then what is it?" I asked, naturally curious.
"A photo album." He grinned, exposing his perfect white teeth.
I sat up quickly, excited to see pictures of Edward, exposing his beauty.
He smiled at my enthusiasm, and opened up the large photo book, the first picture was of a family of three, it was in black and white, I looked at the woman first, she had long curly bronze hair, her mouth was formed into a sleek smile, she was wearing a long navy blue skirt down to her ankles, on her feet she wore black laced up medium sized high heels, she wore a white shirt, on-top of it was a navy blue blazer. She was beautiful of course.
Next to the woman was an older man, his hair was blackish, he stood straight, his expression serious. He wore a grey suit, you could tell that they had money. They stood in a room with a single painting hanging on the wall.
I looked over at the young boy in the middle; his hair was the same color as his mothers, his face was a mixture of his mother's and father's. He was perfect of course, he looked at-least seventeen. I stroked the picture with my thumb and thats when I realized who it was; my fiance'.
I gasped, "so beautiful..." I whispered, I looked up at Edward who shrugged.
"I take it that this your mother and father?" I asked him, looking back down at the photo.
"Yes, the date was 1918, I was about to turn 17, just a couple of months before the spanish influenza hit my father, then the following month it hit my mother and i." His voice was flat, as he recalled the memories.
I looked at him and he moved his eyes from the photo to look back at me, "You were so...beautiful, you've always been beautiful."
"Or maybe its easy to dazzle you?" He grinned flashing his teeth, I got dizzy and nodded while he chuckled, "There's a lot more family photo's, Esme has about thirty photo albums full of them, I kept this one for old pictures of me and my family." He shrugged again, he obviously didn't grasp how beautiful he was.
Edward flicked through the photo's, there were a few old black and white ones, it was hard to see them as they were so old and the camera's hadn't fully developed back in the early 1900's but it was easy to spot Edward's beauty.
I had to admit, I was pretty pleased that he had no pictures of him with girls; except from his mother. Soon the family became two in the photo's...and then it stopped altogether.
It had only been about ten pages, there was much more left in the photo album, "What's the rest of them?" I asked curious.
Edward smiled, "Photo's of me and our family gradually growing through-out the era's." I nearly passed out when he said our family.
I couldn't help myself, "Repeat that again." I whispered.
Edward chuckled and brought his mouth to my ear, "Our family, my wife, my heart is with you forever..." He stopped when he saw that I was about to pass out.
Edward showed me pictures of our family throughout the era's. Gradually the family built up. Carlisle was his same calm self throughout the pictures. Esme was glowing with love at her family, the love seemed to grow bigger when the family grew. Rosalie of course, was beautiful throughout the pictures. Emmett was his same old scary self, in each of the photo's he had a grin on his face, which went larger as time went on. Jasper seemed a little tense, of course it faded slowly from picture to picture; I guess a human took the photo's. I didn't look at Alice's face much; more her clothes, which stood out in all the pictures.
I saved the best face for last; Edward's. He was beautiful In each photo, of course, but it seemed as if his face grew more pained as time went on.
I looked up at Edward and frowned, "Is something wrong with you?" I asked.
Edward raised an eyebrow, I was missing something that he must have thought was easy to guess, "I had no reason for existence."
I still didn't get it, "um, was the music getting worse?"
Edward chuckled and pushed the photo album of the bed and pulled me closer, "No, silly Bella, its because I didn't have you." he murmured as he kissed my lips.
I couldn't say anything because of the impact of the kiss; I just nodded, still dazed.
"You know, we're going to have to take a family photo at the wedding, it will go on the cover, of course." He turned the light off while I groaned.
"One day you'll thank me..." he murmured, "Now get some rest."
Now that he mentioned it, I was really tired. I shut my eyes and let sleep take over, I knew I would dream happy dreams because I was laying in the arms of a angel.
Wow, this was actually better than I expected I would write. Haha xP
I probably will do one of Bella's photo album.
And FYI, probably other writers have used this idea, but at the moment, i've not read any of them, so don't hate on me if you think I'm copying idea's. :)
Review please if you have time :) xo
