Dreams can be fun…sometimes…this is a very twisted story so…I don't know where it really goes! I have written something like this before but because it's with two totally different character the outcome is very different. Edward always wishing for a simple and uneventful life…he finds joy in Bella's dreams.

Enjoy!

An Almost Wonder Life

The world felt foggy…and at first everything was in shades of gray. I only knew two things for certain…

My name is Bella.

And I am in love with Edward.

But, as soon as I realized that…the world cleared and I found myself in a room. It was warm and the sunlight beamed through the windows. I didn't know where I was but I felt safe and comforted. I quickly went to the window. Dying to know if the outside would give me any clue to where I was.

I stared out and looked at all the children playing around in the street. There were so many that you really didn't see things like this anymore; kids playing ball and jump rope, some drawing pictures with chalk on the driveways, and others playing pretend on the lawn. It was so nice and simple. I liked that.

It was then that I spotted a little boy in the yard of the house I was standing in. He was talking to other boys about how knows what. It was then he looked up and gave me a crooked smile and a wave when he spotted me.

His eyes were the most beautiful green I've ever seen.

I waved back like I knew this little boy and left the window and the room and stepped out into a hallway. It was warm here too. I don't think I've ever been in a more inviting house before…it was like a dream home rather then anything else.

My attention was turned to the door in the front of the hall. It swung open and I saw him, Edward, walking into the door. He didn't say a word, just grinned madly and nearly ran over to me. He wrapped his arms around me very carefully and pressed his lips firmly into mine. His kiss was so passionate and deep. He pulled away and I looked deeply into his eyes…they were emerald…the same color as the boy's eyes outside. His skin was nicely tanned and he had no dark circles under his eyes...and he was so warm…

He cautiously, again, leaned down to kiss me one last time before pulling away. I was trying to figure out why he was being so careful and then he asked of me, "And how is our Emily doing today?"

Immediately I put my hands on my growing stomach and I grinned. "She's been a bit fussy today, Edward…she finally kicked today!" I must have been watching from within myself because I didn't know where that came from.

Here, Edward was human, and we we're raising a family together…I was watching a life play out that was and at the same time wasn't my own.

He was about to embrace me on my joyous news but it was then, from behind Edward the front door swung open.

"Hey, Mom! Dad's finally home, huh?" The little boy with the bright green eyes ran up between us and grinned up widely at Edward.

I shook my head and questioned from the boy, "Did you say hi to your Dad, Anthony?"

"I just did!" He said back, turning to me. "Hey, Mom…is Grams Esme and Grandpa still coming over for Dad's birthday party later?"

I gasped and covered my eyes. When I heard Edward start to laugh, I removed my hands and scowled.

"Thanks kiddo." Edward said in-between laughter at my expense. He kneeled down and gave his son a high-five. Anthony gave him one back and ran into the kitchen.

"I'm getting cookies." He called.

"No! Wait for dinner!" Edward called back. He looked at me, his eyes slightly curious. "What is for dinner?" He wondered.

I shrugged, "Your choice birthday boy." He wrapped his arm around my shoulders as we walked into the kitchen.

"I thought you hated surprises?" He cocked an eyebrow in wonder as he brought me over to one of the chairs in the kitchen. He sat me down and I shook my head.

"I hate when you give me surprises. Not when I get the chance to give you one." I took his hand and held it within my own.

"But I'm never surprised." He said, matter-of-factly. I had to agree with him there. I groaned annoyed, making him laugh.

"Well, it's the thought that counts right?" He helped me on my feet again and we walked into the kitchen. "Now," I demanded from him. "Pick something to eat so I can have something nice on the table for Grams and Grandpa!"

"Oh, okay…" He said sarcastically.

Suddenly he pulled me over and kissed me on the lips fully. I heard Anthony shout kissey face and run out of the room and…and…

I awoke the dream with a start. A very secret part of my heart wish I could have slept a little longer but I turned slowly to see a seventeen, and full vampire Edward looking at me with his AMBER concerned eyes. I gave a contented sigh and rested back down on my pillow.

"What was that all about?" He asked me, getting up from his seat on the rocking chair and crawling into bed with me. He wrapped his arms securely around me and brought me closer into his chest. I smiled when I felt his cold, rock-hard body against mine.

"I had a dream." I told him simply, starting to snuggle into his chest. It was cold and comforting.

"Was it a nightmare?" He wondered. He pressed his lips softly against the top of my head and let them linger there for a few moments. When he pulled away he sighed, satisfied.

I shook my head. "Nope. I had a dream you were human." I huffed and turned to face him.

"What's so wrong about that?" He cocked his eyebrow at me, curious. He seemed to like the idea, and I couldn't blame him for that.

"Well, nothing. It was just strange." I answered honestly. To go from the vampire that I know and love to the normal human husband that I know and love was a bit of a transformation…though I took deep notice that my feelings never once changed and I took great comfort in that.

"What happened?" He asked me. His eyes looked excited with wonder. I couldn't turn him down.

"I think we were older…and married." I said straightforwardly. I looked up to see his reaction. Only part of that statement could never, ever, happen.

"Yea?" He gave me a crooked smile.

"Uh huh…we were living in a big house and it was really warm and full of sunlight…and…um, when I looked outside there were a bunch of kids playing in the street and I saw this one little boy…" I stopped, feeling myself begin to blush.

"Go on." He nudged me, his voice light.

"He had green eyes." I said quickly. I closed my eyes tight and tried to imagine him again, it wasn't hard considering he looked like a miniature version of Edward…only with my brown hair.

"Green eyes?" He had to think about it for a moment…and when it clicked if he had the ability to blush I'm sure he would have. "Bella…"

"Let me finish now! Okay, so I was a little shocked when I saw that…mostly because there were just so beautiful I was almost jealous. So I left the window and left the room where I saw the boy and walked into a hallway and I spotted the front door and then you came in."

"I didn't say "Honey, I'm home" did I?" He groaned slightly, expecting my corniness.

"No, no. You came in and gave me a huge smile and then took me in your arms and started kissing me," I shook my head and sat up. He looked at me with questioning eyes. "But you were being so careful with me…so then I realized in the dream that I was pregnant!"

"Jesus Bella…" Edward softly laughed. I first didn't see the humor of this conversation until I looked at it from his point of view. I groaned in annoyance.

"It's not like I felt it there!" I said defensively. "It was a dream Edward! I just all of sudden put my hands on my stomach and it was like HELLO baby much."

He shook his head despite my defensive statements. "She carries my imaginary child and she doesn't even notice it!" He grinned at me broadly. "I like this keep going!"

I titled my head to the side, a bit surprised by his enthusiasm…but I continued despite my curiosity. "Well anyway, so I was like…" I hated saying it aloud, "Kind of big…" I stuck out my tongue when he started snickering. "You're fault." I reminded him.

"Yes, I know Bella." He nodded in understanding before his chuckles broke out again.

"So anyway you asked me how she was and…" He suddenly cut me off.

"It was a girl?" He asked me. I didn't even realize I had said the sex of the unborn child.

"Oh, yes…I suppose." I thought about it for a moment. "I think you called her by name too…umm…oh right! You said, "And how is our Emily doing today?" I wonder why we picked that name?" I asked him and he shrugged.

"I have nothing to do with the inner workings of your mind Bella." He told me directly.

"And then your son came home!" I said pointing at him. "He looked just like you!" I told him, a slight excitement running through me.

"Oh really?" He seemed a little surprised. I smiled.

"Yes. I was like, wow! Well, the me watching was like WOW. But the Mom-Me was all like, "Did you say hi to your Dad, Anthony?" I fell back into his arms and he grinned, finding this conversation very funny at the moment.

He sighed, "Anthony? We gave our son my middle name, huh? Anything else to add "Dear Wife"?"

I thought about it for a minute, it was already slipping from my mind. "Well it was your birthday and I was trying to surprise you but our son ruined it by asking if Grams Esme and Grandpa were still coming over…" I assumed Grandpa was Carlisle. My subconscious had created Edward ten years older…perhaps I wasn't creative enough to envision Esme and Carlisle as well.

He laughed fully, "Grandpa!" he nearly choked. I hushed him and he quieted quickly. "I'm sorry but it's just so funny." He grinned.

"Then you kissed me and I woke up…" I ended the thought and hoped that would be the end of the conversation.

"Aw, that's all? I was hoping for a little more." He pouted and embraced me tighter like I was keeping the rest of it a secret from him. By the tone of his voice I thought he was suggesting something…

"I was pregnant I don't think…" He cut me off quickly.

"Bella I wasn't talking about that." He sighed and shook his head.

"Oh." I squeaked, slightly embarrassed.

He sighed, he cheerful mood quickly vanishing with realization. "It sounds nice…a life like that…everything sounded so wonderfully happy Bella."

"Well yes…but I mean we can be happy like this too…" I said, trying to cheer him up.

He nodded and gave me a sad smile. "Yes…an almost wonderful life."
