Aiden's P.O.V

"Reddish-brown hair, perfectly angular features, muscular but not over the top like Emmett," I mused. "You must be Edward Cullen." I concluded. I reached my hand out towards him. I suddenly felt silly when I realized the handcuffs on his wrists. "What's this? Get those worthless pieces of metal from his wrists; he isn't an animal."

The officers took off the silly handcuffs - silly because if he wanted to, he could crush them easily. In fact, he probably has to be careful not to – and one officer strapped it to his belt.

"How do you know me?" Edward asked; his face solemn.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, Edward." I looked up to the officers. "Escort him back into the questioning room. I need to talk to him alone."

The officers complied.

Once we were in the room alone Edward sat at the table and I sat opposite and smiled at him.

"I trust you already know what I am?" I asked.

Edward nodded stiffly.

"Good, I can take this crap off then." I removed my glasses and threw them to the table. I placed my hat next to them and put my gloves in my pocket. "There, that's better."

"Who are you?" Edward asked, speaking up for the first time.

"My name is Aiden Frost. I'm a CIA agent and the company know that I'm a vampire. I feed off of humans and it bugs them but other than that they don't seem to have a problem with it. I live by myself in a permanent apartment just ten minutes down the road from here by car. I have been tracking the Cullen's for years but have only found foot prints, never the foot."

"Why have you been tracking me?" Edward was shocked.

"Because I know what you are capable of. Think of how many humans could be alive and well and how many less vampire attacks go on with eight vampires on the team. We've only just encountered a vampire massacre and I'm the only vampire, the humans wouldn't last a second against about 10 vampires and neither would I. I need your help."

"You want us to join you? Why not ask some other vampire, why me?"

"Because your family is truly gifted, even more so than any clan I have ever encountered."

"And what could I get in exchange for my services?"

"I will make you human for your Bella."

He was astonished. His eyes spread open wide and he blinked while leaving back. I took the opportunity of his vulnerability to press the subject.

"Think about it, Bella wouldn't have to change for you. You could give her children and grow old with her. She wouldn't have to lose all of her friends and family. She doesn't lose her soul. It's everything you want, and you know it Edward."

Edward was looking over my head, looking into the possible future. He always wanted to change for Bella more than anything. He always imagined what life would be like if it were possible for him to be human, now though, it wasn't just a fantasy, it could be a reality, and he knew that.

Edward P.O.V

I could see it all so clearly now. I saw myself opening my eyes after a long nights sleep next to Bella. I could see myself climbing out of bed carefully not to jostle the bed and wake my sleeping wife. I could see myself walk into the kitchen and prepare breakfast. Four breakfasts. I could see myself walk into a children's room and wake up two of the most beautiful creatures in the world; my children. I could see them shooting straight up and hugging me tightly. I could see me carrying the youngest and holding the oldest hand as we walked into the kitchen and saw my sleeping beauty sitting at the table digging into her breakfast. I could see the children and I quickly joining her. I could see everyone laughing and smiling. Bella and I washed and dressed the kid's quickly and I gave Bella a kiss on the lips as I left the house to drive them to school and then myself to work. Work would be stressful but fun and enjoyable, talking and drinking coffee with my friends and showing each other pictures of our children. Bella would pick the kids up from school and she'd greet me with dinner when I walked in. The children would babble on about their day and Bella and I would just smile and listen, believe it or not, I could see their story's being the most fascinating stories ever told. I could see us watching T.V and then we'd bathe them and put them to bed. Bella and I would watch T.V a little until we couldn't bear not to be with each other anymore. And then Bella and I would be the happiest people on earth and live as one.

"Think of how happy Rosalie would be, able to grow old and have children."

I could see Bella and the kids and I going over to visit Emmett and Rosalie and their baby on Saturdays.

"Think of how happy Esme would be if she could have children to look after. Think of how happy it would make Carlisle to have her happy. Think of how happy Alice would be, being able to have all of those missed human experiences. How happy would it make Jasper to have her see her so ecstatic?"

I could see us all sitting at a very long dining table in Carlisle and Esme's house, with all of our children playing together happily.

I swallowed. "I can't make decisions for everyone else, but I will do anything you want if you can guarantee me you will turn me into a human."

Aiden's P.O.V

"Excellent, why don't we go ask them?" I picked up my glasses and put them on and then my hat. I pulled my hands through the gloves and looked at Edward expectantly as he stood up.

"Where are they?" He asked.

"In a cell," I said and began walked off. He followed me.

Once we reached the cell we saw every member of the family pacing up and down the compressed area elegantly. They stopped as soon as they saw us. They looked both confused and shocked.

"Edward, what's going on? Who's your friend?" Esme asked.

Alice gasped and I knew she'd seen what we were about to say.

"Honestly?" She chirped breathlessly at Edward.

Everyone began looking between Edward and Alice, waiting for some kind of explanation. Everyone but me that is, I just stood there beaming at them. I couldn't believe that the Cullen's were really finally here.

"This is a CIA agent called Aiden Frost. As you can see from his eyes, he drinks human blood. He needs our help in solving a vampire massacre. In return he will turn us human."

You didn't need to be a vampire to see the unmistakeable sparkle in his eye.
