A/N I've spent most of my free time trying to come up with a plot for a twilight fanfic. As I originally wrote stories on Wattpad, I wanted to try something new and bring some new ideas out of my brain. I really hope you enjoy this story, I'm not sure how often I will update as I have a busy term at school leading up to my final exams of my year. But anyway, here it is! Make sure to review, but please no negative reviews, I try my very hardest trying to make sure its perfect.
Enjoy!

The loud patting on mine and Edwards bedroom window managed to wake me up. The large raindrops crashed against the glass at a rapid pace, demanding to be heard. I pushed my head back down against the soft pillow and closed my eyes, hoping sleep would find me. The only thing that could help me sleep was my vampire husband, Edward, who was out hunting with his family for the weekend. Even though he did not want to leave me alone with no protection and put up a pretty good fight with Alice over the matter, he still agreed with a huffed expression. He could never win against Alice; she would always put up a fight with anyone who told her 'no'. But I also wanted Edward to go; I wanted him to be with his family, he's always with me, every single minute in a day he can get. Which I still couldn't complain against.
I shuffled around in my too warm bed for what felt like hours. It was only his soft hum that could lull me off into a deep sleep, only his arms that could cradle me into my dreams. Only him.
Even though it was only two nights without him, my heart still ached at the loss of his presence.
We recently got back from our honeymoon from Isle Esme, which was one of the best experiences of my life. Edward is the most amazing husband that anyone could ask for, and he managed to keep his end of the deal on his marriage proposal.
To my surprise he enjoyed it as much as I did, and we didn't stop. Every night his naked body would be pressed to mine, as I would sleep. He let his boundaries down completely knowing that we had mated and he couldn't hurt me anymore. We were husband and wife. Completely and utterly devoted to one another.
"My love, what are you doing up at this hour?" That silk like voice chuckled. I jumped out my skin, my heart jolting at the sudden noise. Before I could reply his arms were around my waist and his head nuzzling into the crook of my neck and kissed my sweet spot gently, earning a shiver from me.
"Edward, what are you doing here?" I asked suddenly, still recovering from my almost heart attack. "You weren't meant to be coming home until later this evening."
"I just couldn't stay away from my wife any longer. I hunted and now I'm fully satisfied." He whispered gently, stroking my bare thigh under my nightgown. He really knew how to make me melt into a puddle. His soft caresses and mind blowing kisses could stop my heart from beating.
"I'm not fully satisfied." I murmured, smiling gently to myself. Hoping he would get what I was trying to tell him. He growled lowly in my ear and gripped my thighs before turning me to him and placing both my legs around his waist.
"I don't think you should tease me Mrs. Cullen, not when we're in this situation." His hands slithered down my silk covered back until his hands rested on my ass.
"And what situation are we in Mr. Cullen?" I whispered lowly in his ears, bringing my hands up to his head and lacing my fingers in his golden locks.
"I have my beautiful wife in my bed, with her flawless body pressed against mine. I have her tied to me every human and vampire way possible. I have my mate, I have her. I have the most gorgeous woman to call my wife; I get to see all of her body. Every inch of her perfect skin." He groaned into my ear as he pressed his body against mine.
"What would you do if I told you I wanted to sleep?" I smirked, knowing that this move would make him sexually frustrated even more than he was now.
"If I had my way you would be naked right now. But if you insist my dear wife. I could never go against your wishes." Edward chuckled, still keeping our bodies tangled together.
"Stay with me." I whispered, leaning my head on his shoulder. Our bodies completely pressed against each other, sending that familiar shock of electric down my spine.
"Forever my Bella. I could never let you go."
That was the last thing I heard before I fell into a deep peaceful sleep with my husband with me. The rain could not intrude my sleep anymore, not with my Edward here.
The morning sun broke through the blinds of the glass wall, bringing warm streams of light across my back. The cold arms of my love still held me in the exact same place as where my body had been before I fell asleep.
"Good morning my love." He murmured lightly in my ear, tracing small patterns up and down my thigh. I hummed in content and snuggled closer into his neck.
"What time is it?" I asked, still trying my hardest to open my eyes.
"Its 11, you slept long and good love."
Edward and I had agreed that tonight would be the night that he would change me, exactly three days before my birthday. It was all starting to set in really; I was prepared to spend the rest of my life with him. The rest of forever with my mate. Seeming my life would be over within these days.
"It was a good sleep." My last sleep. I would dearly miss the unconscious hours, but it meant that I would never feel fatigue ever again. That I could spend more hours with my family.
"Are they coming today?" They as in the Volturi will be visiting us today. They want to make sure that the change will be happening soon and if not they will have to do it themselves. But I only want my Edwards venom flowing through my veins, nobody else's.
"Yes, they will be here to witness the change. But we must confer with the wolves before hand. So Carlisle and me were hoping we'd be able to hold a meeting at the treaty line with Sam today. And of course you will have to come, just incase they think we'd be changing you out of our 'monstrous greed' as Jacob would think."
"A busy day then?" I sighed. He chuckled and kissed my forehead.
"Yes. A very busy day."
I heard the light talking of voices down stairs, which must mean that everyone was home from their trip. Surprisingly early.
Today would be a day where I say goodbye to my humanity, to start my new life with my husband and new family. Today would be the day where I start my life for real.
"Get dressed love. Breakfast will be here shortly, and let me warn you, Alice is very excited to plan your outfit for your transformation," he smiled and then scrunched his face up like he always does when we talk about the change. He is prepared to savor every human feature of mine, my blush, my eyes, my clumsiness, my stubbornness, my fears, my warmth, my heart beat. All things that my Edward will miss dearly.
I sat up on my knees in front of him and placed my hands on his shoulders. I stared deeply into his liquid topaz eyes and leant down gently, pressing our foreheads together.
"My Bella," He sighed, bringing his hands on my hips and pulling my body nearer to his. "What suddenly brought this on?" He murmured, gently kissing my cheeks, my nose, my eyelids, until his lips were only inches from mine.
"Can't I show my husband, just how much I love him?" I smiled gently, bringing my lips to gently feather across his.
"Just kiss me god dammit." He groaned, bringing me across his lap so I was straddling his waist. I Brought my hands up to his hair and crushed my lips down on his. Being situated on his lap, I had full control over him and pressed our pelvises even closer together. Edwards attack on my lips, made my body hum in pleasure and just when I thought things couldn't get any better he began to trail kisses down my jaw and gently suck on my sweet spot, being ever so careful not to tear the skin there. He brushed my dark locks from my shoulder and moved even closer. Before I started to imagine his cold, soft lips against mine, he leaned in and caressed my neck, slow and gentle. My patience was testing me, I wanted him. I wanted his lips pressed against mine. As if he could of read my mind, his lips brushed back against mine. Not innocently, like a tease but hot, fiery, passionate and demanding. My senses have been seduced by him, I couldn't think straight. I pulled back to catch my breath and hesitantly looked down at him from my position. The swirls of emotion I saw made me gasp. Lust and desire. His fingers gently ran up and down my spine, coaxing shivers out of me. I leaned down, and leant my head against his. I watched him breathlessly as his eyes studied mine with silent intensity. His cool breath fanning across my face, as my cheeks tinted that same dark red colour.
Edward chuckled and caressed my cheek softly. "Thank you my love, now really, you should get dressed."
"Woah, Rosie did you just here that!? I think Bells and Eddie boy are professional porn stars!" I heard Emmett boom from down stairs, if possible bringing my cheeks to a darker shade of red. Classic Emmett humor, always out to make me blush or embarrassed. I'm expecting that a lot today, seeming it is the last day that he will ever be able to do it again.
I quickly climbed off Edward and ran to the bathroom on the other side of our bedroom.
"Stop messing with my wife Emmett. You have your own to do that to." Edward called from the bed with a soft laugh. I smiled to myself as I stared in the mirror, the last time I will wake up as Bella Swan. I may be married to Edward, but I won't be a real Cullen until after my transformation. Then I will officially be a member of the Cullen clan.
I jumped into the shower and gently washed my body with Edwards favourite scented body lotion. I paid most attention to my hair, rubbing my scalp thoroughly with my strawberry shampoo.
After I had washed, dressed, brushed my teeth and dried my hair, I was set for today's events. Edward was sat on the arm chair looking out into the green of the forest, patiently waiting for me. I kissed his head gently and pulled at his hand.
"Come on, let's start today." I smiled.
He stood from the chair and wrapped his arm around my waist and we continued down the stairs where our family all were all waiting.
"Wow! Done already?" Emmett teased looking at us from the couch with his arms wrapped around Rosalie. Edward gave him a disapproving look but then gave him a playful wink. I slapped his chest and let go of him to sit with Alice.
"Break any stuff?" He continued, trying to stifle a laugh.
"Emmett. No."
He laughed and shook his head in enjoyment.
"I'm only teasing little sis, I'm just glad that Eddie isn't a 100 year old prude anymore." That time I couldn't help myself, I bust into a fit of giggles along side Emmett. Edward growled lightly and came and sat the other side of me, I gripped his hand for support through the pain of laughter and leant my head on his shoulder.
"No Edward that certainly isn't happening today. It's our last day to all shower Bella for her human needs, and besides, I'm taking her shopping later." Alice chided. I stopped my laughter immediately and shook my head furiously.
"No. No, you are not taking me shopping." I stated, still shaking my head, looking nervously up at Edward to help me. But I knew he wouldn't help me after joking about his 100 year old virginity card. Damn it Bella.
"Well I was planning on taking you to our meadow later. But seeming you like to joke about my . . . innocence, then think again Mrs. Cullen." He winked.
"His 'innocence.'" Emmett laughed again, hurling himself on the floor in another fit of laughter.
"Em leave them alone, Edward couldn't help being a prude." Rose joined in, smirking at Edward and biting her lip keeping in the laughter.
"What is this? Pick on Edward day?" He pouted, and held my hand. I scoffed and snuggled up next to him, our fingers entwined.
Esme walked into the living area from the kitchen (with her usual smile) with my breakfast in hand. She passed it to Edward who then placed the plate on my lap.
"Thank you Esme." I smiled up at her. My usual omelet served with a glass of apple juice, was a nice way to start my last human day. I would sure miss human food, especially mushroom ravioli, the meal I had with Edward on our first date.
"You're more than welcome." She grinned and then turned to Edward. "Carlisle will be back soon, he called, and told me that the wolves will be at the treaty line at 12." She said, Edward nodded never taking his eyes from my face as I ate silently next to him.
"Its still dangerous. I can't see what will happen, and I guarantee the danger will be more at risk for Bella with Jacob there." Edward growled at the mention of my former best friends name. I hadn't seen him since our wedding day, when he almost attacked both me and Edward for the thought of us going on our honeymoon. I now knew that he was a threat to me, and my husband for that matter. He hates Edward with a full passion, and with this meeting today, it could trigger him to attack.
"He won't be anywhere near Bella. If he does attack, then he breaks the treaty. Then the wolves will officially be forbidden from the land around forks and La Push. He won't attack, for the tribes sake." Edward almost bellowed, forgetting where he was and who he was talking to. Esme gave him a disapproving look and folded her arms over her chest. "I'm sorry Alice, its just the thought of him makes me angry. I didn't mean to shout"
"That's why we're all going, we're a family, and we protect each other. I won't let a wolf try and destroy this family we've all built over the past century. And I'm certain that Carlisle won't stand no for an answer, Bella is our family now and that means those . . . Pathetic dogs won't have a choice in this. Jacob broke the treaty months ago, by hinting Bella what we are, even though I am gratefully thankful that you are with us Bella and I would never wish anyone else for Edward and our family, but he still broke it." Alice huffed after her long speech and fell back in Jaspers arms. She had a point, the wolves need to accept what it is and let this happen. As one of their own did tell a human what the Cullen's are.
"I agree with Alice completely." Carlisle suddenly said, walking up the stair case, "Bella is our family now, and we have never broken the treaty. They owe us this."
Carlisle placed down his work case and wrapped his arms around Esme's waist and kissed her head. "We'd all better get going, we meet them in ten minutes." I stood from the couch with my empty plate and was stopped by Esme before even started towards the sink.
"Please let me do this?"
"I can't," She smiled, pulling the plate from my grip and kissed my forehead. "You go get ready, we'll meet you and Edward at the treaty line." She quickly disappeared before re appearing without the plate in her hands.
Everyone darted off their own ways, Em and Rose out the window, Alice and Jasper off the balcony, and Carlisle and Esme through the front door. Edward pulled my coat and shoes from the cupboard and handed them over to me.
"Its going to be cold, so please wear this?" He said in a more questioning tone, knowing that I can put up a fight. But this time I'll bite my tongue and go along with it. Once I had taken the coat, much to Edwards likeliness, and put my shoes on, Edward gently kissed my lips and hugged me to his chest.
"You stay near me, I can't bare the thought of him loosing his temper around you." He said, stroking my back and peppering my head with small kisses.
"I love you Edward. Only you, forever." I mumbled into his chest.
"And I love you too my Bella, forever and ever." He whispered gently in my ear.
"I think we all know why we are here today." Carlisle started, looking at the men who were evenly spread apart from each other. "Bella and Edward have spoken their vows together and they promised each other forever and-"
"No!" Jacob suddenly roared, standing behind Sam. "You can't let them do this to her! Shes a human!"
"Jake please, just for once, respect my wishes." I pleaded, my hand still tightly wrapped around Edwards. Sam silenced Jacob and asked Carlisle to continue.
"We want Bella to be apart of our family, and she does too, we would never break the treaty. That is why we are here today, to ask. We want your permission to turn Bella Cullen into one of us, so she can start her life with her husband and mate Edward."
"Swan." Jacob spat, "She's Bella Swan."
"Jake, stop this. You know my decision, and you've got to live with that. Edward is my husband, he has always been the one I loved and always will be. Just accept it. You still have your imprint out there, and then you will fall in love. You will understand what its like to be utterly in love with someone, so let me go." I scowled, stood slightly behind Edward.
"He can't give you a family!" He yelled, staring at Edward and growling slightly. His gaze locked onto our entwined hands, he huffed and frowned.
"Jacob stop! This has nothing to do with your petty fantasies." Sam hushed him, holding his arm out for him to stop. "Bella Swan has chosen her path with the cold ones, so let her be. Even though I hate agreeing with them, they are right. Bella Swan is apart of the cold ones and is married to one."
"We just want our forever, like you would, with your imprints. Both Bella and I want to start our eternity together and live our lives together without putting her in danger." Edward said, pulling me tighter and tighter against him, still trying to be careful not to hurt me. "I'm in love with her, and I've waited over a century for her to stumble into my life. She wants this, as much as I was against the idea at first and still am now, I just can't bare loosing her when her time as a human is up."
"Why didn't you want to change her?" Seth asked in curiosity, "I'm not trying to be rude or anything, just curious."
Seth was the youngest in the pack, the most humble out of them all. He was quite a curious young man, only sixteen but was forced into this whole world of supernatural at only fifteen. I remember meeting him at Harry's bonfire party where Billy told us stories about the tribe. I think Edward a strong liking to Seth; he had never had a bad thought about the Cullen's, just plainly curious about what they were. Edward smiled at Seth lightly and wrapped the hand that was holding my hand around my waist.
"I was never keen on the idea of bringing Bella into our world, as I wanted her to live, have children, grow old. But she was ever so stubborn, and in love with me as much as I'm in love with her. We made a vow to each other on our wedding day that we'd love each other for the rest of our existence. That nothing could part us, I am willing to spend eternity with her, and I understand her and her wishes. So that's why we're here today, to ask permission. But of course I could have done it without any of your permission, it's her decision if anything. But of course I could never break the treaty and put my family at risk. So now you know, me and my wife deserve this, we deserve our forever like you have yours with your imprints." Edward kissed my head and hugged me to him.
"No! Please don't do this Bella, you can be happy without him. Just like you were when he was gone for six months. That can happen again." He pleaded tears dripping from his eyes as he fell to his knees.
"If you thought I was happy within those six months when he wasn't here, then where were you Jacob? You were the one who I leant on for support; you were my best friend Jake. Nothing more. I loved you like a brother, but if you can't get over your jealousy, then what choice do you give me?" I asked, my own tears welling in my eyes. A low growl rumbled in Edwards's chest, most probably from Jacobs mind. His hatred for Edward could burn this forest down, maybe even forks. But what could I do? I love Edward, no one else, not Jacob, not anyone but Edward.
"Bella," He sighed, dropping his head in defeat. He sobbed with his face in his palms. It broke my heart, but he needed to know the truth.
"Jacob let me go, this is all I ask. Edward will never hurt me, I promise you that, there is no need to be afraid of that." I said, my voice cracking.
I let go of Edward and slowly started towards him looking carefully at Sam for his approval of me approaching Jake. He nodded his head with a soft smile and stood out the way of him for me to pass. Once I reached him I weaved my fingers through his thick black locks and knelt down to his level. I whispered ever so gently, "Don't let this jealousy destroy a life long friendship, please Jake. I want you there, a friend that I can love with my whole heart. Edward feels nothing bad towards you, neither of us do. Yes, maybe you did cross the line by forcing yourself upon me during last summer. But mistakes are made, and I am willing to forget them for you, for me, for Edward. As he would for you. Let us all have a fresh start, and I know that once you imprint, you will know exactly what its like to really love someone as much as they love you. I know you Jake better than anyone, I grew up with you and I can't wait to spend the rest of my existence being your best friend. Only if that is what you want Jake, I can't force you to like Edward but that is all I'm asking."
His deep sobs stopped and he looked across at me with swollen eyes in realization. For once I could look into the eyes of the Jacob I knew before all this 'love triangle' started.
"I'm so sorry Bells. I'm so sorry." He cried letting his head fall back to his hands.
"There is no need to be sorry Jake, I know you loved me, but I can't return those feelings. I only love Edward, and I wish that you can find someone who loves as deeply as you do. She'll come, don't worry." I smiled gently, standing back from my crouch. "What did we always say as kids Jake, when dad made us wait for Ice Cream when you came around on Sunday evenings?" I asked, a small chuckle rising at the memory of my summers in Forks when I was a child.
"Patience is the game." We said in unison, he looked up at me with red brimmed eyes and gave me a gentle smile.
"I always won." He grinned. Which was the truth, I was never good at winning and had always made the decision to just eat the Ice Cream giving Jacob the victory crown.
"Bella almost wins at nothing.' Alice piped in, chuckling at her comment slightly. I looked back at her and gave her a harsh glance. I could see Edward trying to resist the smile pulling at the corner of his lips.
"Can we settle this and move on, please Jake?" I asked again, turning back to him. Trying my best to cut off my family who were probably going to tease me about always loosing for the rest of this day.
Jacob stood from the brown leaves of the forest floor and wrapped his arms around my shoulders. "Only because you won this patience game with me." Smirking slightly. Patience because I knew he would come around eventually. Bella scores! I mentally cheer to myself and smile.
"Thank you Jake."
"We accept your offer.' Jacob said, cringing slightly and shuddering. But at the end of the day, my best friend was back, and he's finally accepted me.
I looked back at Edward and gave him a wide grin and ran back into his arms, snuggling in so close. "I'm finally at peace."
