Preface:

Now I was content. I had never felt so whole in my entire life. I smiled at my husband and then at my daughter. It was like watching a movie, so perfect, so unreal. I was delighted, but as most people know, I can't stay safe forever.

Chapter 1: The beginning of the End

I grimaced as I pulled the silky bronze dress over my head. Alice shook her head at me, almost silently patronizing me, for being unhappy.

" Bella, when will you learn that I can't stop dressing people up?"

I sighed, and plopped down on the tiny bench that was swamped with a pile of expensive dresses. I loathed shopping, and though Edward understood, he begged me to go, just to make Alice happy.

" Why can't Rosalie go shopping with you every week? Why me Alice? Yes, I love you, but this is absolute torture!"

Alice sat beside me and smiled.

"Would you want to go shopping with Rosalie?"

I thought for a moment and then chuckled at the idea. I pictured myself in this same dressing room, repeatedly telling Rosalie how beautiful she was.

"Fine. You do have a point."

"See? Oh Bella, your phone."

"Alice it's not even…

I opened my purse and grabbed my cell as it began to ring, I shook my head, smiling at Alice. Who grinned back, as if to say, Told you so.

"Edward?"

"Ah, Bella, love."

My motherly instincts took over and I immediately began to fear why he had called.

"Is Renesmee okay?" I whispered

"Yes, love. She's with Jacob."

"Then how do you know? It's not like Alice can see her."

"Her cell phone, that she got from Carlisle and Esme."

Relief washed over me, but not for long.

"Then why are you calling, Edward?"

"Do I need an excuse to talk to my wife?"

Alice giggled, and I shot a glare at her.

"Edward, I'll be home soon. I hope."

He chuckled at me and I could picture him, sitting at the kitchen table, his shoulders shaking as he laughed. I smiled at the thought,

"All right, Bella. Oh, I think we're in need of a family hunting trip. Perhaps Alice and Jasper would like to join us?"

I turned to Alice, who was already shaking her head in reply.

"Edward, I'll talk to you soon. I love you."

"I love you too."

I tossed the phone on to the pile of abandoned clothing that lurked on the bench.

"Jasper and I have a meeting tonight."

I smacked my head realizing that I also was supposed to attend this meeting. We were discussing my death. It had been a few month since I'd become a vampire, and we needed some way to "kill me" so that Charlie could no longer visit me. We also needed a new home. I had been so selfish, begging Edward to change me, which would break the treaty. The werewolves were not rushing us, since we had reached a truce, but I knew that we should be on our way soon.

" All right Bella. Grab that pile and hand it to me. Let's just buy it all. Everything looks fabulous."

I glowered at her, but did as she said. I had to get used to the idea of spending so much money. I picked up the heap of clothing and headed towards the cash registers. I fumbled for my wallet, and found it and took out my credit card and handed it to the young cashier who stood in awe.

I wasn't used to people staring at me. Sometimes I forgot about my breath taking beauty. She handed me my silver card and I pushed it into its slot, and smiled at the photo of Renesmee that smiled up at me. I grabbed my 7 bags, and waited for Alice to grab hers as well, and we headed towards the parking lot.

Alice popped the trunk of her Porsche and took my bags from me, and I walked to the passenger seat, and took out my phone. I quickly dialed the house number, and Edward picked up mid- ring, which scared me.

"Renesmee?"

"No, Edward. It's Bella. Did you forget about the…"

"Meeting? No. Well, yes but just for a second. We'll go hunting tomorrow."

I smiled, because it seemed like he could read my mind, although I knew that he couldn't.

"I'll be home in a minute." I said as Alice got in and started the engine.

I clicked the phone off, and Alice giggled again.

"What?" I asked her angrily

"Oh, nothing. Just wait until you get home. You're going to murder him."

"Alice, what did he do?"

"You'll see." She said with a smile.

I groaned and slid down in my seat, as I racked my brain for possible things that Edward would do that I would want to strangle him.

The car stopped and Alice handed me my bags, and began to head for the Cullen's house.

"Good luck!" she called as she danced way

"ya, thanks." I whispered as I hurried to the cottage. And then I saw it. I gasped in horror as my eyes focused on the driveway. There stood a gleaming Porsche Carrera with a huge red bow on it.

If it was possible, I would have had a stroke, and dropped dead on the spot. He'd gone too far. A before car, and an after car, and Dartmouth, and , and. The list went on and on and on.

Edward walked outside and stood next to me chuckling at my expression.

" Happy 5 month anniversary!" he sang

"Edward."

"Yes, love?"

"Thank you so much, but."

"Bella, I thought we discussed that I could give you gifts now?"

"We did, but Edward, this is 5 months, but what happens at 50 years, or a hundred, or our 300th anniversary? What happens then?"

"Well, the technology will be different, Bella. Maybe I'll buy you a hovercraft." He said smiling.

That did it. I couldn't beat that smile. I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him. It felt so good to not hold back. He scooped me up, and took my bags, while he kissed me and walked me into the cottage. He dropped my bags and continued to kiss me as he carried me to our bedroom, where he lay me down on our bed, and lay himself on top of me.

He finally stopped, and rolled over and lie next to me. He played with a strand of my hair, as he always did when he was thinking.

" Are you nervous about tonight?" he whispered in my ear

"No."

"Bella, you are still such a terrible liar."

"Edward, I told you that I'm not nervous. I've already said goodbye, and everyone knows that I'm happy. I'm married, and I have a beautiful daughter. I'm not nervous."

"What about Jacob?"

I hadn't even thought of Jacob. Wherever we went he needed to go as well. He needed to be near Renesmee.

"He'll have to die too." I said thinking, "And what about everyone else? Our family, Alice, Jasper, Emmet, Rosalie, Carlisle, and Esme? Will they leave too?

"Yes, love. But they want too, so you shouldn't feel so guilty. Remember, Jasper, Emmet, and Rosalie are supposed to be away at their second year of college. Alice, you and I are supposed to be away at our first year of college. It seems natural that Carlisle and Esme would move away, and sort of retire."

He chuckled, again, at the last line. He stroked my cheek and began to hum my lullaby. I had noticed that he hummed my lullaby when I was stressed, since he could no longer make me fall asleep. And I always smiled when I peeked in on him putting Renesmee to bed. The way his face glowed when he walked her to her room.

I remember the day that he sat at the piano for hours trying to come up with her lullaby. Even the most magical sounding lullaby was not good enough. At the end of the day he had finished. And I loved it as much as mine, maybe even more. And Renesmee loved it as well.

He sat up and smiled at me.

" May I please see what you bought?"

I growled at him, because he knew that I hated wearing the clothes I bought almost as much as simply buying them. He wanted a fashion show, and I wanted to strangle him.

"You've already seen it in your head. That's not fair."

"Well, you will need to wear one of your purchases tonight or Alice will have a fit."

I growled again, but I got up and ran to the other room to get all of my bags, and raced back to the bedroom and threw them on the bed. Edward clapped his hands together like a joyous child.

"You pick." I said impatiently, as I tapped my foot.

He pulled out a ridiculous outfit, that only Rosalie would have worn. Alice must have snuck it into one of my piles. I scowled, but changed into it, accessories and all.

It was a bedazzled purple tank top with a small beige bolero jacket that went on top. Then there were the jeans. They were a dark wash, in an hour glass shape, with purple rhinestones on the pockets and swirls of silver studs across the front. A purple woven scarf was looped through the jeans, and Alice had found the most ridiculous purple stilettos, that I of course, could not walk in.

" You look like a Rosalie Hale wanna- be."

"You're kidding right?"

"Yes, Bella, love. But you should wear this tonight, it does indeed look truly remarkable."

I heard a motorcycle about a mile away. I looked at Edward.

"Did you give him permission to drive here there and back on a motorcycle?"

"Use your head, love. I don't want you riding on one, why in the world would I let Renesmee on one?"

We both jumped up from the bed and angrily ran to the door, and opened it waiting for Jacob to arrive with Renesmee. A few minutes later Jacob pulled into the driveway. Rensmee sat in front of him in a hot pink helmet, and a light pink riding jacket. I scowled at him as I reached out for Renesmee and held her close to me. Edward put his hand on Jacob's shoulder, and Jacob flashed us an innocent smile.

"What?"

"A motorcycle!" we bothed yelled simultaneously

"Oh, yeah, about that."

"No, Jake. I don't want to hear why. But just don't do it again. She hasn't even gone riding with Edward and I yet. She's not old enough!"

"Fine Bella, oh and by the way, you look really good. You even have a kind of Rosalie theme going on."

Edward chuckled, but then he returned to his angry face and confronted Jacob.

"Listen, Mongrel. If you ever want to see Nessy again, you will drive her back and forth in a car with a car seat."

"Jeez, back up leeches."

"Excuse me?"

" Sorry Bells. Well here's the kid. Do you guys want to behead me now?"

"Jacob." I breathed, alarmed that he would even say that

"No. But we do need you to come with us to the house now. We're having a meeting and we need you there." Edward spoke quickly, taking Renesmee from me, and setting her on the ground.

" To the crypt."

We walked slowly , at a human pace, so that Renesmee could keep up, because she was tired. Edward held my hand, and Renesmee held his. Jacob walked behind us glaring at our small, quaint family.
