We were in our meadow, in the center a white satin tent had been put up. Candles that were softly flickering in the moonlight were set upon bamboo stilts, rose petals were strewn about the grass and on top of the tent, and they delicately fluttered in the soft breeze. The air was mingled with lavender. There was a blanket set in the grass under the tent; more candles were set around it. There was a cordless c.d. player resting next to one of the posts that held the tent up.
"Edward…it's—it's…amazing," I couldn't think of anything else to say, the meadow truly left me speechless. Tears that were now brimming in my eyes blurred my vision. I turned to Edward and smiled hugely at him. He took my face in his hands and wiped the tears away with his thumbs.
"So you like it?" He seemed unsure. Why on Earth he was unsure was beyond me. I nodded and reached up on my toes to touch my lips to him in a thank you kiss. When we parted he smiled at me and took my hand. "This isn't the only surprise you know," He said with a hint of smugness in his voice, he just loved surprising me.
"More?" I said incredulously. He gave me a sheepish smile.
"Yes, more, we were just married a few hours ago, did you not expect a few surprises?" He reached down and hit play on the stereo. A beautiful melody filled the meadow. It wasn't my lullaby. This was a new song. My lullaby would always be the most beautiful piece of music I'd ever hear, but this one was very close. I gazed at Edward as he walked over to me and took my hand, he put an arm around my waist and we started to dance.
"Edward, did you write this?"
"Yes, do you like it?"
"It's beautiful" He smiled.
"I wrote it for you…and me" I cocked my head to one side.
"You and me?"
"Yes, I wrote it for us" He kissed my forehead "Our love inspired it" Aw, I thought, so cheesy, but in a good way, very sweet. I giggled.
"I love you Edward Cullen" He beamed.
"I love you Bella Cullen" I smiled back. "Man how I love saying that"
"I love hearing it" I laid my head on his chest and we danced for a while longer. I sighed in content. When we finished dancing he led me over to the blanket and He sat down before pulling me onto his lap.
"Bella? Can I ask you a question?" Edward asked nonchalantly. I met his eyes.
"Sure, fire away" His features became serious.
"I know that we agreed that I would change you after we were married, but my question is, when…did you exactly want to be changed?" My heartbeat picked up and I gasped.
"As soon as possible!" I said as a smile played at the corners of my mouth. Edward smiled slightly, but it barely touched his eyes.
"If you could be changed tonight…" He left his sentence hanging in the air. I had a sharp intake of breath.
"You'd change me tonight?"
"If that's what you really wanted love, then yes, I'd change you tonight" I pulled Edward into a hug. I laughed.
"I do want to" He sighed. I pulled back and looked into his eyes, once again, I saw an ancient sadness. "Edward? Don't you want me to be with you forever?"
"Of course I want you forever, Bella" He sighed again, "It's just, I'm going to miss some things." He brushed the back of his hand against my cheek. "Like you warmth, and the beautiful color of your eyes" He chuckled softly "And your clumsiness" He smiled. I blushed. He touched my blush stained cheek. "And of course your blushes" I looked away.
"Are all those things worth me not with you for eternity?" He put a finger and lifted my chin so he was looking me square in the eye.
"Bella, nothing in this world is worth more than you" He brushed his lips against mine "I love you more than anything" A tear rolled down my cheek. He wiped it away. "So are you ready? Or would you like to wait a little while longer?" I leaned forward and kissed him lightly. He deepened the kiss and his lips parted slightly. I lost it. My fingers knotted in his hair and I pressed myself to him. Yet, he didn't stop me. We continued to kiss till I ran out of breath. "Breathe, Bella," He whispered, I was gasping for breath, and my heart was beating erratically.
"Okay, I'm ready." I kissed him delicately one more time "Just for good luck" I winked. He softly laughed.
"I love you Bella" He kissed my neck, and where he kiss he sunk his teeth into my skin. I gasped in shock. I felt a dim burning start to radiate from my neck. It didn't feel anything like when James bit me. I laid my head against Edward and waited for my fiery transformation to end. I had a long way to go. I could feel the venom spreading and the burning was growing hotter and hotter.
"I love you too Edward" I murmured as my eyes slid shut and oblivion welcomed me into it's protective embrace.
TADA...la chapter two, i decided to not make the deal that Edward and Bella made in Eclipse about him and her doin it before she was changed, i guess that Eclipse pretty much didn't happen in this story...i guess that i'm going to add one more chapter.
