You Make Me Feel Alive Again (Twilight Story) Ch 1: Contests
………………………………………………………………..
DISCLAIMER: These characters do not belong to me…they are all from the Twilight books which were written by the wonderfully talented Stephenie Meyer.
Note to Readers: I am sure you are all familiar with the Twilight series. This takes place after Bella and Edward have 'talked' with the Volturi and Bella happily shares her mind with Edward at the end of the Breaking Dawn Book. I like to consider it a continuation of the series since Stephenie plans on writing nothing further besides Edward's POV of Twilight. I also thought the title suited their relationship well and I hope you agree.

BELLA'S POV
I always loved being in Edward's arms. It was my favorite place in the world. I always felt so safe and protected. Even now in out little home with our daughter. I still had trouble believing we had a daughter. I was lucky enough to have become pregnant while on our honeymoon in time so we could have a child before I was changed into a vampire. I loved my little Renesmee "Nessie" Carlie Cullen. She laid in her bed as Edward and I sat in our living room just holding each other and just enjoying out company.
"Edward?" I asked after almost ten minutes of silence.
"Yes love?" He asked.
"How are you feeling? You were much more talkative earlier. Is something on your mind?"
"You are, my love. You are always on my mind." He replied as he kissed my neck.
"Well I know that silly. But you must be thinking something else? Today was a long day." I replied with a smile.
"I was just wondering how I could get so lucky to have you with me forever." He said as he did that wonderful crooked smile that he knew always melted my little unbeaten heart.
"Oh stop that Edward. You know you had me since that day in the cafeteria. We were always meant for each other Edward. You know that. We were meant to share each moment of eternity with each other and I believe that."
"I know, love. You were meant to be mine and I was meant to be yours." He said as he kissed my softly. I smiled against his lips and made the kiss deeper. He pulled away and chucked.
"What has got you tickled, love?" He asked.
"You haven't kissed me that softly since I was human. Why the change?"
"It felt appropriate for all we had going on today, that's all. Plus, Nessie is in the other room and I do not want to disturb her. She has had a long day. I don't want to wake her with our noise."
"What noise are you referring to Mr. Cullen?" I said sweetly.
"You know what I am referring to Mrs. Cullen." He said as he kissed my again but this time with more passion.
"Now that is more like it." I said between kisses. He only laughed. He pulled away and rested his head against mine. I smiled at how serious he looked into my eyes.
"Bella, let's go upstairs and lay down. I want nothing more than to just sit in our bed and hold you. This day was far more exhausting than I could have ever dreamed of."
"Vampires don't dream silly." I replied smiling.
"Yes, I know that Silly Bella. But you know what I mean." He said as I rested my hand on his shoulders.
"I do know Edward and yes I suppose you are right. I am quite exhausted from the day we had." I said as he grabbed my hands and kissed them both. We both got up and he wrapped his arms around me as we walked to our room. Once there we changed into our pajamas and got under the covers. He held me close as he hummed my lullaby to calm me. The day had been hard for both of us and we both needed time to rest.
Edward hummed for a while then started whispering softly into my ear. "Bella, you were so brave today."
"You were too Edward, all things considering. I was so prepared that this day would be our last."
"As did I, love. I am so glad that was not the case though. I would have hated it to end that soon. We have not had enough time here in this life. I need eternity to show you my love for you."
"Oh Edward, you show me everyday. Eternity would only be a repeat of everything I have already seen. You show me by your kiss, your touch, you love for our child, your eyes, your smile; everything about our life is magical and only strengthens my love for you, as if that were an issue. Edward, you are all the love I need." As soon as I finished I felt his lips crashing into mine.
Every time he kissed me it still sent wonderful sparks down my body. He held me tight against him as his hands traveled around me. His hand traveled up and down my back as he slipped his tongue into my mouth. I moaned as he positioned himself above me. I felt his weight slightly as he deepened the kiss more. He spent the rest of the night kissing me playfully and telling me how much he loved me over and over again.
As the sun begun to rise I kissed Edward on the head and said, "Edward, we should get up now."
"Why? We can visit the family later."
"I want to see them now. After yesterday, I want to spend as much time with them as possible. Plus, I miss Nessie."
"As you wish, Wife." He said as he released me and I entered our closet. I still had trouble finding stuff in here. Alice packed it way to tight with all the clothes she thinks make me look better and flashier. I never have been that into dressing up and I didn't feel like dressing up today. I smelled for denim and cotton. I found some acid wash blue jeans and a nice simple black tee and changed quickly. I put on some black running and shoes and turned to see my lovely Edward had changed into one of his white muscle shirt, blue jeans and sneakers.
"Mr. Cullen, you know better then to wear those shirts around me. You know it gives me ideas."
"Well Mrs. Cullen, maybe that was the point." He said as he smiled that crooked grin at me. What a cheater! I won't let him get to me and win. I would half to toughen it out! Two can play at this game!
"If that's how you want to play it then I guess I will go wand wake up Nessie and you can stay here by yourself." I said quickly as I used my vampire speed to run down to Nessie's room. I could hear Edward chuckling at my behavior as I scooped up Nessie and kissed her sweetly.
Her little beautiful deep brown eyes opened and a smile was on her face. I then smelled Edward as he appeared behind me. "Hello Nessie. Did you sleep well?" He asked. She reached up and touched his face.
"I thought so. I know yesterday was difficult but do not fret daughter. Those vampires will not return again. At least, not for a while anyway." He said as he kissed her head.
"Do you want to go see everyone Nessie?" I asked her. She smiled widely and said, "Yes please."
Edward and I laughed as we all ran to the house to see everyone.
"Hello everyone!" I said as we all entered the house. Jasper was sitting with Alice in the living room playing chess. Alice peered up from her intense game and smiled. "Hey! How was your night?"
"It was nice Alice. Thanks for asking. How long have you both been playing?" Edward said as he lead Nessie and myself over to the couch. We sat down and I let Nessie sit on Edward's lap.
"Not long. Only 20 minutes or so. This is out 3rd game." Jasper replied and he took one of Alice's pawns.
"Oh Jazzy you should know by now you will never beat me at this game." She said as she checkmated him.
"I give up Alice." He said as he sat near us with Alice joining him shortly after.
"Where is everyone?" I asked.
"Em and Rose are in their room. Carlisle is in his study. And Esme is in the garden in the back." Alice answered.
"It's nice that everything has gone back to normal." I replied as I grabbed Edward's hand and held it in my own.
"Yes, thank God." Jasper said as he kissed Alice sweetly on the cheek.
"Now what are we supposed to do for fun?" Edward said jokingly.
"We could always have a contest or something?" Emmett said as he and Rosalie came down the stairs and sat in the couch next to ours.
"A contest concerning what exactly?" Edward asked.
"I don't know, Eddie. Why don't you use that Ivy League brain of yours and think of something?" Em replied.
"You know I hate it when you call me that." Edward said as he suddenly became tense.
"Calm down Edward. You know he is only joking." I said as I rubbed his hand to calm him.
"Daddy, I'm hungry." Nessie said as she pulled at Edward's shirt.
"I'll take care of it." Rose said as she grabbed Nessie and went into the kitchen.
"How about we have a truth or dare contest later on tonight or a video game contest?" Alice suggested.
"I like the idea of a video game contest." Jasper replied.
"Me too." Em agreed.
"Sounds fun." I said as well.
Edward shook his head in agreement as well.
Em then jumped up and said, "I guess it is settled. Tonight there will be a video game contest. What are them teams? And stakes?" Em jumped around excitedly.
"Calm down Emmie before you put a hole in the floor." Rose said as she re-entered the room with a well fed Nessie in arms. Rose handed her back to Edward.
"Yes baby." Em replied as he sat down obediently next to Rose.
"Well how about this…we could have Boys vs. Girls! And we can play Wii Play so it's fair. I know you boys all play video games all the time and this way all of us can have a fair chance at winning." Alice said.
"Sound like a plan, sis." Edward said.
"Ok, what time should we start?" Rose asked.
"How about after we have hunted this afternoon?" I said.
"Sounds good to me." Jasper agreed.
"I can't wait!" Em said excitedly.
Today was definitely going to be entertaining.
