Happily ever after
Chapter two- Human again
I was sweating again, and shaking. My entire left side hurt from when I fell. My stomach growled, but not from hunger. I felt like I was going to throw up again.
Cool fingers suddenly brushed against my cheek, startling me. "Edward?" I said, and yes right over me was the perfect God like creature I've been waiting to see "Edward" I said jumping into his arms. His cool body brought complete relief to my discomfort.
"Bella I'm so sorry" he said holding me closer. Even though he said that he was sorry, he didn't sound like it. I looked back at his perfect face. There was something about his face that told me something must have happened.
"I heard everything that Charlie said to you last night. Bella, I'm so sorry I wasn't there, and I'm sorry about your arm to." He said holding it up. "Tsk, you know I don't like to leave you alone, but it would help if every time I came back you weren't hurt."
"Oh Edward where did you go? You scared me." He let go of me so we were looking at each other.
"We went to Alaska." He said
"Alaska, why?"
"A few days ago, before I left, we got a call from Tanya's family. Their friend was back visiting them. He used to be a vampire, but while he was hunting down in South America he found something. It was an old custom the Mayan people used. When a religious leader or one of there kings died, they would cut them open and spill all their blood along with holy water into a well. So when Robert came along he smelled the blood and dove into it." Edward stopped speaking and cupped my face in his hands "Bella, it turned him into a human again"
My eyes opened in shock. I didn't know what to do or say. I just stared at him.
"It did what?" I said extremely softly.
"It turned him into a human. He was once a vampire, but now he has a beating heart, and everything." Edward excitement grew. I had never seen him like this, but I loved it. He was extremely happy.
"Edward, that's…that's, AMAZING!!" I screamed so loud, that if anyone else was in the room at the time, would have questioned my sanity.
"It will fix everything my love. You won't have to get married, and I won't have to kill you. We can have a normal relationship. We can wait till after collage, and do this right and…and" his smile kept growing, so much so I thought it would rip his face in half. He let out a huff. "It's all planned out. Esme and I already talked to Charlie and explained things to him."
"You talked to Charlie?" He ran his fingers threw my hair, pushing loan strands off of my shoulders.
"Yes Bella and here's our cover story. I wasn't able to get into the archeology program at Dartmouth because I signed up to late. Then suddenly they had an opening and called us. So we all hopped on a plane and went out. I got in and now I'll be off to South America, for a few weeks."
"You're leaving again." The happiness in me began to drain away.
"Yes Bella, but not for long I promise." He wrapped his arms around me "and when I come back I'll be human again, and we can start our life together."
I couldn't believe it was I dreaming?
"Bella I also talked to your father about our marriage. I told you dad that I thought about it and yes I think its best to wait too. Esme chimed in adding that if we were meant to be it would last." He brushed his fingers along my chin. "Well?"
"Well am I dreaming?"
"No my silly girl." He said with a small laugh.
"I can't believe it." Once again I felt his perfect stone lips touch mine, but not with the same carefulness, but with happiness.

I sat on Edwards bed watching as he packed for his tripe. "Edward" I said. He looked over at me "what's the first thing you're going to do when you're human again?"
"That's easy, I'm going to run back here and kiss you without any hesitation." I blushed
"Ok what's the second thing?"
"I believe Esme and Carlisle want to move somewhere sunny. I know I can't wait to be out in the sun whenever I feel like it. Of course we'll have to take you out there sometime."
"What's you ideal spot for living?"
"Where ever you are." I blushed wildly again.
"Edward seriously" I said
He paused placing a pair of jeans in his suitcase, and longingly smiled.
"A beautiful wooded area, like where I grew up. Much like it is here, but with more sun." he closed the suitcase and zipped it up.
"What about you Bella?"
"Huh?"
"Where's your ideal living spot?"
I smiled looking down at my hands. Out of nowhere he moved from his suitcase to the center of the bed where I was. He wrapped one arm around me pulling me closer, and leaned his head against mine.
"You know I don't like it when you make me wait for an answer."
"Oh no Edward!"
"What" he said surprised, and worried.
"When you're human again you won't be able to read anyone's mind how will you survive?"
He laughed "it will be hard my love but I will try." He stroked my hair "Now tell me where." He demanded
"I will live anywhere as long as it's warm, and near the ocean. I would love to live right on the beach. I love the water."
His brow furrowed
"what" I asked
"Why haven't you ever told me that?" he sounded annoyed
"I don't know. I guess it never seemed important." He didn't like that answer
"Bella I want to know everything, and when I return I intend to learn every single thing." He cradled me against his chest, and rocked slowly back and forth.
"You know what else I'm going to do."
"What?" I asked
"I'm going to stuff my face." He started laugh when he said it, and so did I. We laid back on the bed still holding each other.
"Edward promise me something."
"Anything." He said
It felt a little ridicules to say, but it finally came out. "Promise me and wait till you come back for your first home cooked meal. I want to cook it for you."
"I'd love that Bella, of course I'll wait."
"I don't want you to starve to death. You can have airplane peanuts and fishy cracker while you wait." I never thought I would ever say anything like that to Edward, but now he was going to be a human and I know I will soon start worrying about him even more.
"I might just do that." He lifted me up off of the bed and set me on the ground. Then he picked up his suitcase.
"Edward." I said taking off my engagement ring.
"Yes?" he asked. I handed it to him. He held out his hand to see what it was. He brought it back to him and inspected it.
"Bella" he said hurt.
"What I thought, since we weren't getting married, that I wouldn't need it until latter, and I didn't want to lose it, it's your mothers."
"You won't lose it if you keep it on your finger. Besides, we may not be getting married soon, but you did say yes to me, and after collage I still want to marry you." He slipped the ring back on my finger. "Because only I can have you."

When we got down stairs everyone was waiting. They must have been giving us some time. Ever since they came back there has been this liveliness about the Cullen's house and family, everyone was ecstatic.
"Finally" Emmet said. "Can we go?" Esme slapped him on the arm "what" he asked. She just shook her head.
"Ok everyone into the Lincoln navigator." Alice said with some extra pep in her voice. (an: I now how Stephenie Meyer writes key details about cars in her books, so I'm going to try and do that, but not to much. I don't know shit about cars, but I hope it will help make you feel at home…reading twilight. :)
We walked out to the car. Jasper and Emmet finished putting the luggage into the back. Rose settled into the back with jasper in the middle and Alice next to him. Emmet must be to big to fit back there. As Edward settled in I handed him his carrier.
"Thank you Bella. Be careful driving home ok, for me." He said pleadingly
"What do you mean? With her luck, the car might catch fire the second she takes a step toward it." He laughed obnoxiously. "Oh, and Bella also, I broke all your shoes but I left a pair of roses stiletto heels in your room." Edward looked at me worry still on his face.
I smiled "Don't worry Edward, just call me when you get their ok." We kissed one last time.
"I promise." He said.
"Me too" Emmet said
Edward rolled his eyes and looked over at him "Are you going to annoy me the whole way there?" he asked
"Yup" Emmet confirmed
"Ok everyone say your goodbyes to Bella. Robert and Tanya's family are waiting for us at the airport." As they drove away I could hear Alice, Esme, and Carlisle yell goodbye. Then Emmet shouted
"Don't forget to walk down five flights of stairs, in the six inch heels!" I heard the hard slap Edward gave him after he said it, and his stupid laugh.
I waved goodbye until the where out of sight, and waited a while. I didn't want to see them on the road. Even though this time Edward leaving was a good thing he was still leaving, and it still hurt a bit. Plus I didn't want to give Emmet another chance to moon me from the care window. Or give Edward another chance to punch him in the groin, but that was hilarious.
After waiting about fifteen minuets I walked back to my truck. I had to get to the grocery store, and hurry home, because it was already late and Charlie would be coming home soon.
00000000
Ok, I need milk, eggs, chicken for tonight's dinner, and why hasn't Edward called me yet. I wondered, as I pushed the cart forward threw the small and dimly light grocery store. Being the klutz that I am and in the midst of my thinking I ran into someone hanging flyers on the bulletin board, scattering millions of flyers that she was holding into the air.
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry." I said bending down to help her pick them up.
"Don't worry about it." We both stood up. I had never seen the girl in front of me before, but she was very beautiful. She had glossy light brown hair. Her eyes a lovely shade of blue, with very pink and very plump lips. When she smiled a dimple appeared on her cheek, which just made her seem like a very inviting person to talk to.
"Bella" I said smiling
"Bella, Isabella Swann?" she asked.
"Uh, yeah." Damn this small town. Even the tourists know who I am. "Actually it's Bella, just Bella."
"Oh, yes I know you don't like to be called Isabella. I mean um…so I'm Bethany Stanly, or Beth if you prefer. It's nice to meet you."
"Stanly, like Jessica Stanly."
"Yeah, she's my cousin." She looked at me as if pondering something "You don't seem anything like what she told me you were like, although I'm not surprised."
"Well I guess that's Jessica for you. Oh, here." I was about to hand her, her flyers back when I noticed what they said.
Cooking classes for beginners and experienced. We'll cover everything from backing to boiling and much, much more.
Then it struck me. I was going to be cooking for Edward.
"Is something wrong?" she asked looking at my expression.
"I think I need cooking classes." Her smile grew brighter, and the dimple creased further up.
"Perfect, this must be a good sign. First place I hit to hang flyers and I already have a taker." She handed me one.
"My mom and I just moved out here. We owned a cooking class, and made a decent wage, but then my step dad, whom she was married to for only a year left and she moved out here for emotional support from her sister in law and brother."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be, I am proud to say that I intentionally drove him insane just to get ride of him." I laughed.
"Good for you."
"Well I have to go back to work, but I hope to see you next Friday for the mediocre cooking classes."
"Actually I'm going to take the experienced classes."
"Oh, well those start tomorrow. Will I see you there?"
"Of course." I said
