I had been exactly 2 hours. Not from the wedding itself, but from the 'incident'. After everyone had calmed down, including me, everyone was going to meet at the Cullen house to talk everything through rationally.

"Do we have to do this?" I asked, hoping that the answer would be no.

"Yes, Bella," Edward said, "I mean this was a traumatic event for you and you have to realize that this is how things were going to be."

This is how things are going to be. I repeated the words over and over in my head, still not sure if I believed them.

"I know," I lied, "but, I don't think I can face my mother or Jacob for that matter."

"Don't forget Leah and Phil," Emmet said with a smile. Though, I knew he was just trying to lighten up the mood a little, I wished he wouldn't. I mean we had Jasper for that. And as if he read my mind, there was a sudden calmness.

"Jasper, do you have to do that. I mean I'm gonna have to be suffer a little if I ever want to heal." I was surprised by the look on his face. I had never said anything about him calming the mood before (or at least recently) and it surprised him.

"Look, Bella, I'm just following what your husband wants so blame him, not me," he said with a smile.

I instantly looked at him. My husband. I mean it really still hadn't sunk in. I was too worried about everything else, but now looking into his eyes, as he gave me that breathtaking crooked smile, I knew that he was finally all mine and that no matter what happened he always would be.

I had to smile and though he couldn't read my mind, he knew exactly what I was thinking, like we were one person.

"Fine," I said, pushing the words through my lips, gasping for air.

"There're here," Edward announced. Everyone stood up from the table and went to the door, seconds later the door bell rang.

Esme opened the door and Jacob, Renee, Leah, and Phil barged through the door, each couple hand in hand. Though I was with Edward, I couldn't help being a bit disgusted.

"So, I'm sure that Leah and Jacob have explained everything to you right?" Carlisle said, finally putting an end to the moments of grueling silence.

"Yes," Phil and Renee both said, right on cue.

"Have they told you everything?" Carlisle said, still a little unsure.

This time Renee answered, "Yes. They are both werewolves and you are all vampires. Right."

"Right," I said, answering for them. I was shocked by mother's tone. She sounded like it was everyday that you fell in love with a werewolf half your age and discovered that your son-in-law and his entire family were immortal vampires. Not to mention enemies of the werewolves.

"Well good then." Edward said, "Though, you must know that we will have to make a few adjustments to the treaty. I mean, for Bella's sake."

"Of course," they all said again in unison.

"Well, if you would all follow me to the dining room, then, we can discuss those adjustments." Carlisle said, with a warm smile.

After everyone was at the table and seated with their significant others, the 'meeting' was set to begin. Edward locked his fingers through mine and I held him tight, knowing this was going to be emotional, even with Jasper there.

"Jacob, will you please show us the treaty," Carlisle said, making direct eye contact with Jake.

"Um..yeah..about that," he said, suddenly his face was pale. "I sort of misplaced it."

"You lost the treaty!!" Everyone shouted at once.

"Well, actually, I set it on fire. Then I went to the beach to try to put it back together, but it got soaked by the waves. Then I started scraping to put it back together but accidentally tore it into shreds and the water washed the remains away."

Everyone started at him, with their jaws on the floor. How could this happen. Without the treaty….well, actually good things would happen. I mean Edward could finally turn me into a vampire without breaking the treaty and starting a war and they could both cross the boundary lines freely!

"That's great!" I shouted. Everyone looked at me with puzzled faces. After I explained to them my big revelation, they all smiled.

Suddenly, my mother fell off her chair and hit her head. She was unconscious.

"She's dying!" Carlisle said.

"Bite her!" I said, trying to keep her alive. At once, Carlisle, bit her and my mother was awake screaming.

That's when I realized what had just happened. My mother was turning into a vampire.
