"I can't wait to meet her." With nods from everyone, I just sat on the couch, thinking about her. From reading the books, I got up and went to the piano and thought about her, closing my eyes. A melody more beautiful that most I had previously played came from the instrument and I smiled to myself. After we had read New Moon, I knew that I couldn't and wouldn't ever abandon her. I wasn't going to leave her and our bond was just going to be stronger. Maybe if we never leave, Charlie will actually like me a bit better. I chuckled quietly to myself... one can hope.
Edward's POV
As I sat here at this piano, I thought about Bella and what I had read about her. She was so sweet, lovable, and caring, but at the same time she was stubborn and strong. So as my fingers danced across the keys, I played the music that I knew belonged to that kind of person. This melody sounds so beautiful... I wonder if it's for Bella. Esme's thoughts were so sweet and kind. Sitting here, I felt myself being drawn into the very melody that I was creating. Slowly though, I did have my song come to an end, but just as I ended it, Carlisle called me into the living room once more to which everyone was still sitting there.
Carlisle and everyone else looked at me curiously. "So, son... what do you think you're going to do when you meet her? How will you start off with her?" I sat there, bewildered, because I had no clue until I thought of how we got together through the books.
"I may have to start off exactly how I did in the books... unfortunately." As I said that, I heard Esme gasp.
"Edward! You have more manners than that, how you could willingly want to treat her that way?" I looked at her politely.
"But Bella became drawn to me from that attitude. It made her curious and want to know more about me. I don't want to force myself upon her right away." Emmet then held up a finger to stop me momentarily.
"But, because of that attitude, it also drew in Jacob when she had to "sweetheart" him for answers. Even though Jacob Black will be needed in the equation someday, I doubt you want a repeat of how it happened." I nodded, agreeing that his statement had been true. Esme also nodded.
"Yes... but still, you don't need to be rude like you were before. Now that you know of how her scent will affect you, we can work to help fix the urge when you meet her."
"But mother, remember, the only reason my book self was rude that way was because her blood scent. I do agree though, I hope that with proper self-control, I can counteract the need." Since I had been talking with Esme, I hadn't been aware that Alice had had a vision, but when we were finished Alice spoke in her mischevious, but also sweet voice.
"Oh Edward... Well, I just had a vision of Bella... human, wedding Bella, and after she becomes a vampire. I only saw her face. Would you like me to draw her for you? She is very beautiful." Without hesitation, I nodded and so did Esme. So with the speed of a bullet, Alice ran up to her room and came back down with a large, thick sheet of paper and began her work. Drawing teen, wedding, and vampire Bella's faces. It took Alice no less than five minutes and the end results were astonishing. She was one of the most beautiful beings I had ever seen in my life. Alice had sketched Bella beautifully. In the human form, she showed every flawless and flawed, but I couldn't find anything that was really flawed.
Her skin was a beautiful mixture of alabaster and ivory and her eyes were the most beautiful shade of chocolate brown while the iris was a dark honey color. Her bridal face was pale and her skin was purely strawberries and cream and her vampire self was the most beautiful being I had ever seen. Her skin was now fully alabaster and her lips were full like before but were more pink due to the skin change. The change from chocolate brown to honey colored eyes had made me a little sad, but I was happy to know that I was meant to be with this angel. I could only hope that she would be this happy with me.
My eyes were wide and I knew that if I were human, I would be blushing. Suddenly I felt a hand clap down on my shoulder that I knew was Emmet's. "Way to go bro! She sure is pretty." Rosalie growled a little. "Now, babe, you know you are the most beautiful person to me, but seriously, for a human it's not bad." He looked at me and laughed. "I can't wait for this girl's clumsiness. Finally I'll be able to tease someone around her about being ungraceful." I looked over at Emmet and laughed.
From there, Jasper insisted on wanting to start his training now, so with us all agreeing, we went on a two week vacation. We waited until the next morning and Carlisle called the school, saying that there was a personal family matter. That an incident with our family in Alaska was sick and we needed to be there to help care for her. The school had put up no fight, so with that, we left, continuously training our senses to only want the animal blood. This would be a hard task for Jasper and we all knew it, but even so, he was severely willing because he wanted to form a better relationship with the future addition to our family.
I was excited to start so that I wouldn't be so rude to her when I first meet her. The excitement within me made Jasper even feel super chipper, but I didn't mind and neither did he.
