"Are you sure you are ok my love?"
Edwards' hands were tracing patterns lovingly over my wrist, his beautiful eyes gazing deep into mine.
"Yes. I am perfect."
"The thirst, you definitely don't even feel it?"
I smiled, watching the expression be mimicked on his lips. He was right. The burning that I had been told would plague my existence forever more was missing. I didn't crave the feel of blood trickling down my throat, nor did I desire it. But, a hunting trip may be necessary soon.
"I love you Edward. So much. Thank you for doing this for me."
"It was my pleasure, sweet girl. Although I have dreaded the moment every day since you first expressed your desire to become one of us, I have also longed for it. To have you as mine, forever and always. My Bella. And now you are. You will be by my side for the rest of our existence. Never will I have to spend another night alone, or another day without gazing upon your beautiful face. My Bella."
Within a moment I was once again wrapped tightly in his arms, enclosed in the cacoon that I knew I could always depend upon. My safe haven.
"I was always yours Edward. Always. But now we can be equals, and we can support each other through thick and thin. Bella and Edward. For eternity. But for now, I need to hunt. Run with me?"

We sprinted through the forest, every care left behind us as we flew together, as my mind drifted back to the moment all my dreams and nightmares had come true at once.
"Edward" My Bella's voice was quiet in her morning state, only having woken up minutes ago, still lying curled up in my embrace. "Edward, I want you to ask me something."
"Of course sweet girl, what is it you desire?"
She laughed her bell like laugh, her face reddening slightly in the most adorable way. She sat up, pushing the covers away from her delectable body.
"No. I want you to ask me something."
To say I was confused would be an understatement. What could she possibly want me to ask her? The only question she will never give me an answer to was…
"Bella?" My voice sounded slightly pathetic even to my own ears. "Sweet Girl, do you mean what I hope you mean?"
" I don't know Edward, why don't you ask me?"
If I had been alive, then my heart would be thumping uncontrollably in my chest. I had thought of this so many times, had asked her before, but I was sure this time she was going to give the answer I had always wanted.
I pulled myself up and off the bed, lifting Bella up and perched her on the side of the bed. Slowly, I lowered myself to my knees, our hands resting together in her lap.
"Bella. My Love. My Bella. From the moment you came into my life I have known that you are it for me. My sweet, beautiful, wonderful, clumsy Bella, will you marry me?"
The smile that lit up her face I had only seen once before, on the first day that I told her of the love I felt for her.
"Yes. Of course I will Edward. I love you."
I kissed her then. As soon as my lips touched hers I knew that this kiss was different. Her sweet mouth beneath mine was close to sending me mad, her lips brushing forcefully against mine. I ran my hands up her smooth legs to her slender waist, pulling her against me. I could feel every inch of her body pressed against mine, and it was driving me crazy. Our kissing intensified, as I pushed my love back onto the bed, falling on top of her. My Fiancée.
My hands traced up her sides, cupping her breasts through her thin night top. This was new territory. The softness of her body beneath me almost sent me into overdrive. Suddenly, I could hardly control myself. Taking a massive step, I opened my mouth, pushing my tongue against her lips, causing my Bella to gasp, her eyes flying open and gazing into mine. I continued my attack, savouring her taste as our tongues finally met. I couldn't stop the moan that escaped my lips. This was heaven.
I seemed that Bella had changed her mind over her hatred of the marriage clause of the deal, just as Alice had predicted. Within a week we had decided on everything, preferring a small wedding just a week after Bella graduated from Forks High.
The day had been perfect; both of our families gathered around, and, despite Charlie's slightly frosty exterior, everyone's thoughts were calm and happy for us. Bella had looked a vision in white, her eyes glistening in the twilight, as she walked slowly towards me, without tripping. The minister had spoken of love and everlasting life, but I hadn't heard a word, being far too lost in my bride's eyes. Our first kiss as husband and wife had been blissful.
And that night, I had changed her. I had finally tasted my only loves blood, and struggled with the monster inside me to keep her from death. I had met the temptation head on and refrained from the heaven that I wanted to enter, merely pushing the venom further into my wife's' neck. Then I watched in silence for three days as her heart slowly faded, and then all together stopped, keeping her with me forever more.

Running truly was an incredible experience. After three days of intense burning, I was finally free in the fresh air with my wonderful husband by my side. The whole world was out there waiting for us, and nothing could stop our love now. Nothing.
