Chapter 1.

BPOV

I cannot believe I'm actually doing this. I thought as Edward helped me out of his Volvo. Charlie is soo going to flip. I looked up to Edward, hoping he'd talk me out of this, but, as expected, he just smiled down encouragingly. I tried to smile back, but it twisted into a grimace.

"Bella, love, are you sure this is what you want?" He asked quietly just before we walked through the door. "Yes," I nodded. "I'm just, apprehensive, you know Charlie isn't going to be happy about this." Edward nodded, "I know, his thoughts right now aren't very kind. Of course, he's know this was coming for a while, he's very worried that we're about to tell him." He whispered before opening the door. My eyes popped open wide, but I quickly got myself back under control. "Dad?" I called. "In the T.V room honey!" Charlie called.

Charlie was sitting in his usual chair, watching a game when we walked in. Please please please Bella, keep yourself under control. I begged myself. "Dad, Edward and I need to talk to you." Charlie nodded and muted the game. "Sure kiddo, what's up?"

I sat down on the couch and pulled Edward down beside me. He wrapped his hand around mine and squeesed gently. "Umm, Dad," I took a deep breath trying to figure out how to tell him. "Dad," I said more clearly. "Edward and I are getting married, he proposed." Edward smiled shyly at Charlie, his thoughts were obviously much less than kind right now, judging by the color of his face.

"You What?" Charlie shouted. I would have fallen off the couch if it wouldn't have been for Edward's protective arm around me. "We are getting married Sir." He said definatly. "You most certainly are not!" Charlie kept ranting. "Bella is eight-teen, not nearly old enough to make this type of decision!" My face was turning deep crimson as Edward insisted that I was plenty old enough. "As long as my daughter lives under my roof, she will not be marrying anyone, especially you. You left her, you broke her, and you almost got her killed! No, I won't allow this!" Edward's face fell, I could tell that he thought, or knew, what Charlie had said was true. I jumped up and put my finger in his face. "Then I will just leave, I'm eight-teen, you can't keep me here any longer. Edward and I are going to be married, you can be there, or you can not!"

I stormed up the stairs and grabbed my bag. Edward came in behind me, looking very grim. "Edward love, don't you even pay attention to what he said. I was very very sad when you left, but you're back now, and we're getting married, now help me pack." Edward nodded, perking up a bit. He went to my closet and started handing me my clothes.

When everything was packed up Edward helped me carry it down to the Volvo, and we drove back to his house. Alice was waiting in the garage, bouncing up and down with excitement. By the time, I had gotten out of the car she already had my two suitcases and was waiting to drag me up to Edward's room. "Bella that was not a very mature thing to do to Charlie." She scolded. I was about to argue, when she put a finger to my lips. "But don't worry about it, he wasn't going to let you get married no matter what, and was about to go grab his gun. I'm glad you're going to be living here with us." I smiled, glad I'd be accepted here, though I knew there wasn't a chance they'd turn me away.

Alice danced thourh the door and kissed Jasper as she ran up the steps. On the way up to the room, Carlisle stopped me. "Oh Bella, could I have a word." I nodded. "Of course Carlisle." He led me into his study, and I plopped down in a seat. "Bella, first let me say, welcome to our home, I knew you'd end up here before to long." I blushed red. Carlisle chuckled as he continued.

"Now I called you here to discus your change. Edward and I have talked about it, and we think it should take place a week after the wedding, that way you and Edward can have a honeymoon, and you can get your, umm, human expericance, I believe he called it." I blushed even redder. "Do you agree to that?" He asked. I nodded quickly. "Yeah, that's great!" Carlisle nodded and marked something in a notebook on his desk. "Alright then Bella, you're free to go."

I nodded my thanks and walked up to Edward's room to uppack. I opened the door and froze in shock, Alice was flying about the room, placing all my things in there suitable places. "Alice, I could have unpacked myself, you didn't have to do that!" I gasped. She laughed her tinkling little laugh. "Don't worry about it Bella, now it's over that much faster! Ooh, with you living here I could have soo much more time to give you makeovers!"

Oh god, I thought. Please don't let her want to give me one now! I tried to figure out an escape plan, but they were all thwarted by her vampire skills. She laughed again, louder this time. "Don't even try Bella, you know it won't work, and I'll just have to do more to you to fix the stuff you'll do trying to escape, you're hair'll get all knotted, you'll probably fall, and all that, nope, you should just chill, and anyway, I wasn't planning on it right now, the others want to welcome you!"

She skipped happily from the room, and I was only to glad to follow, now that I knew I wasn't walking into a Bella Barbie session.

As I spepped off the bottom step I was plowed down by a giant mass of stone. "Emmett!" I gasped as he wrapped his arms tight around me. I couldn't breathe, my face was getting hot, and my fingers were going numb. "Air!" I squeaked. Edward ran down the stairs and yanked Emmettt off me. I sucked in a ragged breath. "You idiot!" Edward shouted. "You were about to kill her!" He stooped down beside me. "Are you alright love?"

I shook my head, my ribs and back were in agony, it took all I had not to cry. "No, it hurts!" I breathed out and was hit by a fresh wave of pain. Edward turned back to Emmett and smacked him. "You see what you've done! Carlisle!" He shouted, scooping me up in his arms and running me up the steps. "Edward." I moaned. "It'll be alright Bella, Carlisle will make it better.

He laid me down on his bed and Carlisle rushed in. "What happened?" He asked, sitting next to me. "Emmett hugged her." Edward said bitterly. Carlisle sighed heavily and started to feel my sides and back, making me moan, almost shout, in pain. "I'm certain she has a few broken ribs, but I'm not to certain about her back, we need to get her to the hospital so I can see." I rolled to get off the bed, but pain shot through my body like knives. "Oh Bella, love, hold still, I'll carry you!" Edward scooped me up again and ran me out to his car.

I groaned loudly when he sat me down beside him. "Shh Bella, shh, it's going to be okay, Carlisle will fix you, it's all going to be alright." He soothed. My breathing was coming in short gasps from the pain. He wrapped his hand around mine and squeesed gently.

He screeched to a halt in front of the hospital and scooped me up in his arms again. Carlisle quickly led us to an x-ray room. Edward laid me down on the table, and then Carlisle pulled him back behind a screen.

After the x-rays had been taken, Edward carried me into a room and laid me on the bed. "Oww!" I cried. "Oh Bella!" He gasped, holding me up again, so that no wait rested on my ribs and back.

Carlisle walked into the room carrying a large envelope. "Well it's just as I expected, you have three broken ribs, as well as a few broken vertebrae," Edward gasped, but Carlisle continued. "Now, you really can not move around, or you'll knock them out of place and risk being paralyzed, I'm going to give you a brace so that you can walk and sit, and move a bit, but you are absolutly forbidden from bending over, raising your arms up, and twisting around. Edward, please, watch her and make sure she doesn't." Edward nodded. "Yes Carlisle."

He spun around and left. "Edward." I groaned again. "What is it love?" I took in another ragged breath. "It hurts Edward, it hurts!" I groaned. "I know love, I know. Just hold still, Carlisle will be right back with the brace, then we can go home, and I'm positive he'll give you some medicine to make it stop hurting." He tucked a stray lock of hair behind my ear. "I'm going to rip Emmett's arms off," He growled.

I rested my head on Edward's shoulder until Carlisle came back with the brace. "Alright now Bella, pull up your shirt." He ordered. I raised my shirt up to my chest and Carlisle put me tight in the brace. I moaned loudly when it squeezed my ribs and moved my back. "Here Bella, take this." He handed me some pills to stop the hurting. I popped them into my mouth and swollowed them dry. The pain started dulling so that I could speak. "Thank you." I whispered. "It's no problem Bella. Now take her home Edward. And when you get done with Emmett, send him up to my study please." Edward nodded, "Yes Carlisle." Then set me on my feet. "Can you walk?" I took an unsteady step. "I think I can, but make sure I don't fall." Edward nodded, "Of course my love." Edward grasped my elbow and helped me walk to his Volvo.

When we pulled up Emmett was sitting in the garage waiting. "Bella! Bella, I am soo sorry, I didn't know I was hurting you!" He tried to pull me from the car, but it only caused a new wave of pain. "Ahh!" I gasped. "Emmett, let go!" Edward ordered. Emmett dropped my hand and Edward pulled me from the car. "Go inside love, Esme will help you." Esme was standing beside me. She took my elbow and led me to the house, but not before I heard Edward begin his abuse on Emmett.

"Is Emmett going to be alright?" I asked Esme quietly as she helped me ease down onto the couch. "He will be fine, Edward will hurt him, but he'll heal quickly." There was a loud cry from out in the yard. I took in a sharp breath, making my ribs hurt more. "Bella dear, calm down, you're hurting yourself, Emmett will be fine." I nodded, and laid down.

Cold fingers were stroking my forehead very gently. "Bella, I'm so sorry I didn't see it!" Alice whispered my my ear. "Not your fault." I groaned trying to sit up; she put a hand on my lower back and helped me up. "Thanks." Alice nodded. "Bella, how are you feeling? Does it hurt? Do you want more pain medication?" Ugh, where's the off button? "Alice, calm down, it hurts a bit, but not that bad, I'll be fine. Where is Edward, how long have I been out?" Alice's lips went into a tight line. "How long Alice?" I ordered again. "This is the first time you've woken up in almost 26 hours." She whispered. "Oh my God, why didn't anyone try to wake me?" I hissed. Alice winced. "Bella, we did, but you were too far out of it, you wouldn't come back to us. Edward is upstairs talking to Carlisle right now; they're trying to figure out what happened."

I groaned as I pulled myself up off the couch and walked over to the stairs. I was about to start climbing them when Alice stopped me. "Bella, you can't walk up those, you'll mess up your back." She scooped me up in her arms and fluidly ran up the stairs so she wouldn't jolt my back. "Umm, thanks." I said when she put me down. Alice grinned ear to ear. "No problem Bella, just go knock on the door!"

"Come in!" Carlisle called before I even touched the door. I slowly twisted the knob and walked in very slowly. "Oh Bella!" I was immediately wrapped up in Edward's arms. "Mmm!" I moaned. He immediately let go. "I'm sorry dear, how are you feeling?" I groaned again. "Sore, really really sore." Edward stroaked my hair, "I'd give you more of that medicine Carlisle gave you, but we think that's what knocked you out, we're discussing alternitives." I took a slow breath, trying not to move my ribs. "Just give me some advil." I groaned out. Edward nodded, "We could do that for now, but you're going to need something stronger than that soon. Come down stairs and eat something you must be starved."

Edward carried me down the steps and into the kitchen. "What do you want love?" I leaned forward and rested my head on the counter. "I don't know, surprise me." Edward turned around, and when he saw me, he rushed over and stood me up. "Bella, you can't bend over like that! You're going to knock the bones out of place!" I groaned and rested my head on his shoulder. "But it hurts!" I groaned. He nodded. "I know love, it will be alright though." He turned around and started making me something to eat.

"Here." He said handing me a plate of angel hair pasta. "Thanks." He sat in front of me while I ate. "What did you do to Emmett?" I asked between bites. Edward laughed bitterly. "Don't worry love, he's not dead, yet, Esme made me stop." "What? You were actually going to kill him?!" I shouted. "Calm down, you're hurting yourself!" He was right, my ribs were screaming. I took a deep breath. "What did you do to him Edward?" I asked slowly. He sighed, but told me. "After Esme took you in I kicked him in the face, then pinned him on the ground and just beat on him, he's fine though, and he healed while you were sleeping." I took a deep breath and gradually stood. "I want to see him; will you help me up the steps?" Edward rolled his eyes, but scooped me up and carried me up the steps and placed me on the ground outside Emmett's door.

"Come in." He called. I swung the door open and saw him laying face down on the bed, rubbing his shoulder. "Emmett?" I called, stepping in slowly. He looked all right, other than the shoulder thing. "Bella!" he shouted, jumping up. "You're okay! Thank God, I was so worrried!" he wrapped me up in his arms, but didn't touch me. "I'm fine, but what'd they do to you?" I asked. Emmett sighed. "I'm grounded to this room for the rest of today and tomorrow, and no video games or wrestling for a month. Edward beat the crap out of me, but the only thing that really hurts now is the bite." He said quietly, sitting down on the bed. I sat down beside him. "He bit you!" I gasped. He nodded, "Yeah, but I deserved it, so I didn't put up a fight." I smacked him on the arm. "Emmett, you didn't deserve it, well, you may have, but I will be fine, don't feel bad about it, okay?" I said before I tried to stand. Emmett placed a hand on my back and helped me up. "You going to make it down the steps?" he asked as I walked out the door. "I'm not allowed to walk down them." I said crossly. Emmett laughed his booming laugh before scooping me up in his arms and carrying me down the steps, and before I could turn around to thank him, I heard his door shutting.

"Alice?" I called softly, but instead of Alice, Jasper appeared at the top of the steps. "I'm sorry Bella, Alice went hunting with Edward, and they won't be back for an hour or two though. Did you need something?" I shook my head. "No, just someone to talk to." I said, leaning back to lie down on the couch again, trying to ignore the pain shooting through me. Before I knew it, Jasper was sitting on the floor beside me. "What'd you want to talk about?" He asked, smiling broadly. "I don't know, first I was going to ask her why getting bit by another vampire stings." I said, blushing slightly. Jasper laughed, "Because it's venom, it still goes through our veins and burns, just like it would if we were human, but since we're already vampires, it doesn't really do anything, just hurts." He said.

I nodded. "Makes sense, so like, I was wondering, am I going to, umm, bleed a lot when Edward changes me?" Jasper nodded. "Yes, a lot, he's going to bite into your major veins, in your neck, wrists, and ankles." I groaned again. God, now I'm going to get all sick while I'm changing. "What's wrong Bella?" Jasper asked. I rolled my eyes. "Blood makes me sick, so I'm going to be all sick while I'm changing." I explained causeing another round of laugher from Jasper. "Bella, it's going to hurt way to bad for you to even notice the blood."

Esme walked into the room and sat on the chair facing the couch, so she could see Jasper and I. "Hello kids, what are you planning to do today?" Jasper shrugged, and I sighed. "I don't know what I could do, they won't even let me walk the steps!" I moaned. Esme brightened up a bit. "Here Bella, would you like to embroyder with me?" Can't be any worse than doing nothing. "Sure Esme, but umm, I don't really know how." Jasper helped me sit up, and then went back up to his study. Esme moved to sit beside me. She handed me a needle and some black thread, then a piece of cloth. "Here." She threaded the needle and tied a knot at the end. "Now just put the needle through the fabric until you have an outline of a picture you'd like to do, start with something simple, like a heart, then as you color it, you can add things to it." She said, handing it back. I nodded and got to work outlining the heart I wanted to do.

By the time Edward and Alice walked through the door, my outline was finished, and I was busy coloring it red. "Bella my love, you're doing marvelous." Edward said, sitting next to me and pulling me to him. I breathed deeply, taking in his scent, even though it hurt. His smell was like a drug, I was getting dizzy as I thought about it. "Breathe Bella!" He ordered. Oh yeah! I sucked in a new breath. "There now, isn't that better?" I nodded and rested my head on his shoulder. "Have a nice hunt?" Edward nodded. "It was alright, no big game today, just a few deer." His chest vibrated under my head from his voice.

"Edward?" He rolled to where he could see my face. "Yes?" I bit my bottom lip a moment before asking. "Why did you bite Emmett?" Edward laughed loudly. "Bella, don't worry, there will barely even be a scar, its just going to sting for a few days." I nodded. "Alright, I'm going to go to sleep now." I laid my head on his chest again, and he hummed me to sleep.
