A/N: Thanks for the reviews, once again. I really liked reading everything you guys have to say.

When we entered the house I was not surprised to find everyone waiting for us there, and I mean everyone. Evidently Alice must have had a vision and called Edward and told him to come home. Great, I wasn't supposed to see him until tonight after I had a chance to talk to his family. I still hadn't decided what I was going to do about Edward, and this was not going to make it any easier.

"About time you showed up, we were all getting worried. Mr. Impatient here was about ready to go looking for you." Alice said as she pointed to Edward.

"Sorry it took so long, her truck only goes like 50, and I knew she would kill me if I just left it on the side of the road." Emmett replied to Alice as he quickly spotted Rose and was at her side in a blink.

"Your right, I would have killed you, or at least I would have tried." I said as I walked over to give Alice a hug. Edward moved so that he was right next to us.

"Bella, you have no idea how glad we are that you are safe. Alice was just checking up on you to see what was taking so long and then all of a sudden your future disappeared. It all had us a little worried." Esme said as she quickly gave me a hug.

"About that" Emmett interrupted "The pack showed up and I wasn't going to wait around to see what they wanted. I mean I would have gladly taken them all down, but I figured Eddie boy would also want some of that action." Rose slapped Emmett on the back of the head when he said that.

"Idiot." Rose mumbled under her breath before turning away from everyone and heading into the living room. I wonder if she was ever going to warm up to me.

"Why would you want to hurt the pack, they have done nothing but protect me and Charlie." I said as I turned to face Edward. I glared into his eyes, which were still black as coal.

"I don't wish to harm them Bella. That would hurt you. I would just like the chance to talk to them that's all love." Edward replied taking a step closer to me.

I knew that he wanted some show of affection, but I was unsure if I was ready to be that close to him. I was still deeply hurt by what he had done, but I was getting tired of putting so much energy into hating him. I decided that I would put my feelings aside for the moment, because I could tell that he was really hurting.

"Thank you Edward. That's means a lot." I smiled at him then gave him a quick hug. Clearly he was not expecting that. The look on his face said it all. His mouth was open and his eyes were huge. I wanted to laugh at the look on his face but I knew that that would be inappropriate.

Luckily Alice was always there to save the day. "Okay everyone into the family room, we need to have a talk. Edward you are free to go now that the situation has resolved itself."

"As you wish Alice, but only if Bella really wants me to leave." Edward said never taking his eyes off of me.

"I think that's for the best Edward. I'll see you later though." I managed to say before Alice whisked me off into the family room. And just like that the awkward situation ended. Edward left to go hunting, which it seemed he needed to do, and the rest of us all sat around talked about useless things.

We talked about what everyone had done while we were apart; Alice told me that she was miserable because she had no one to dress up. Jasper was quite as always, it seemed that he still wasn't completely comfortable around me. Rose and Emmett were off in their own little world almost the whole time. Finally Carlisle told them to calm it down, 'we have a visitor'. Emmett just laughed and said that he had to put up with Edward and I all the time, so I could deal with a little of him and Rose. Rose, clearly embarrassed at being scolded by Carlisle, moved over to sit next to Esme.

Things took a sudden serious tone when Alice went blank, she was getting another vision. Everyone stopped talking and looked at her. When she came out of the vision she had a huge smile on her face and turned to look at me.

"What did you see Alice?" I asked her.

"Oh, you'll find out soon enough. It's nothing bad I promise, I think you'll actually enjoy it very much." She refused to talk anymore on the subject, but the fun filled mood was effectively broken.

"Well, it's getting late and I haven't even discussed the thing that I came over here to talk about." I said, knowing that the topic was also on the top of everyone's mind.

"I know that Edward will learn about everything we talked about tonight so there is no reason to put off the conversation." I paused to gauge everyone's reactions. Everyone seemed calm, but that could just be Jasper.

"We need to talk about the issue of me becoming a vampire." I decided to just come out and say it. There was no need for downplaying the issues, because it was deserving of a full blown out conversation.

"Bella, there is really no need to deal with this now. The Volturi do not deal with time like we do, a year to you is like a fleeting moment to them." Carlisle said trying his best to relieve some of the tension that I had caused.

"I could have guessed that, but with my luck they will get bored earlier then expected and come to check on me. I don't want to get you guys in any sort of trouble, so I have already decided that I want you to turn me after graduation." Esme was about to interrupt me but I held up my hand and continued.

"I'm sorry but I really want to say everything before I hear your opinions. Anyway. After graduation I already planned on leaving so it wouldn't be a big deal with Charlie or Rene. I'm sure I could come up with some excuse to get out of seeing them for a few years. I want you guys to turn me, and I've already made up my mind. If you don't want me in your family, I can deal with that, but Alice already made a promise so that's that." I took a deep breath and felt as if a huge weight was off my shoulders.

"Bella, dear. Of course we want you in the family; you have always been like a daughter to me." Esme said.

"But, there is no need to rush into this decision, there is no turning back. Not to mention the treaty that we have with the werewolves." Carlisle finished for her.

"Oh, I forgot about that."

"Don't worry Bella; we will deal with that when the time comes. If you are sure that you want to become a member of this family, it seems like a reasonable request. Your points are all valid and true. However, Edward will not be happy about this at all." He continued.

I knew that he was right, but I would deal with Edward tonight. Then after that I would have a talk with Sam. Jake would never agree to me being turned, but Sam had a some what level head, and everyone had to listen to him. If I could convince Carlisle to change me then I was sure I could do the same with Sam.

"Thank you all so much. I am looking forward to becoming a true member of the family." I said as my voice started to shake. Alice quickly scooped me up into another hug and I felt a feeling of calm spread over me. I turned to smile at Jasper who returned the gesture.

I decided that I should probably go home seeing as Edward and I still had to talk tonight. Alice insisted on coming home with me so that she knew I was safe. She still hadn't told me what her vision was about but I had the feeling I would find out soon enough. When we finally reached my house Alice gave me a quick peck on the cheek then disappeared off into the forest. I had the feeling that Jasper had followed us, fearing for Alice's safety with the werewolves lurking around, so I was not worried about her.

When I got inside I was not surprised to find that Charlie had waited up for me. I told him that I was tired and then headed right up to the bathroom to get ready for bed. He seemed to believe me because not long after I was finished up with the bathroom I heard him go into his room. I knew that Edward would be there soon. The one thing that I didn't know was if he had gone home first. If he had then he would know all about the plan to change me after graduation, if not then I would have to break the news to him. That was not something I was looking forward too.

Either way I didn't have too long to mull of the options; because when I turned around Edward was standing in front of me.

"Hi." I managed to get out.

"Hello love. How was your evening with the family?" he said.

"Great. Did you go home before coming here?"

"Yes, I know all about the little agreement that you made with them. Very clever of you to do it while I was gone." Edward said still staring at me, a smile growing on one side of his mouth.

"Umm. I thought that you would try to convince them not to, seeing as you don't want me anymore." I said, unsure if I actually believed it. The way that he was looking at me know reminded me of old times, back when we were together.

"Bella, I've never not wanted you. Why won't you believe that?" He said as he pushed a stray strand of hair away from my face. He left his hand on my cheek after he had tucked the hair behind my ear. I pulled away from his hand.

"Edward, I'm not ready for anything like that. You know that, or at least you should." I said trying to sound confident and strong, but when I yawned in the middle, it kind of threw off my game.

"Bella, you're tired. Maybe you should get some sleep. We can talk another time." Edward said.

"No Edward." I said confidently. "We need to talk about this now. You keep calling me 'love' and acting like nothing has changed. I swear today felt like the longest day in history. I'm tired of being mad at you. I just want to forgive you, and then − then I want to forget you." I knew it was harsh, but that was what the moment called for. I had no idea where this sudden strength came from, but I was going to ride it until the end.

"Bella, you can't mean that." Edward said sadness clearly visible in his voice. "You know as well as I do that we are meant to be together. I wasn't anything before I meet you. When I left you I know that was wrong. I know that it will take some time for you to forgive me, but you have to." He stressed the last part. Deep inside, I knew that all his words were true. Edward was the love of my life, and there was no changing that.

"Listen." I said "Let's just take some time to evaluate the situation. You tell me that you love me, and I know that I will always love you. ." It hurt saying those words. They were not enough to keep him with me the last time, would this time be any different.

"But, I don't know if I can trust you right now. Just give me some space and let me get used to the idea that you're back and that you really do love me. A lot has changed since you left." I said all that I wanted to say at the moment, hopefully it was enough.

"Time and space is that all you want from me?" Edward replied, his face hiding all emotion.

"For now." I said quietly.

"That's reasonable Bella. Now I have one thing to ask of you."

"And what would that be Edward."

"Please, do not go out with Newton. I would never be able to live with myself, knowing that I forced you into the arms of that pig." Edward said lifting my chin up so that he could look into my eyes. I couldn't help but laugh.

"I can't promise that Edward. You gave up that claim on me when you left. It's up to Charlie if I go or not, and I highly doubt that he would not let me go." I said yawning again.

"You really should get some sleep Bella. I'm going to be outside all night long, if you need anything just call to me from your window and I'll come as fast as I can." Edward said as he headed for the window. "Goodnight Bella." Then he was gone, for now at least.
