Chapter Ten- New Beginning

Storms were a funny thing in Yuugi's opinion. They gave the outside world a depressing look, but with its rain it helped the plants and trees grow. How could something so dark and depressing help make the outside world look beautiful when it was over?

Yuugi sat in Atemu's room on the floor looking out the window at the pouring rain. Every now and again a strip of lightning would come down from a cloud, followed by the sound of thunder. The storm outside matched Yuugi's current mood on that day June fourth and the reason for Yuugi being sad was one thing. He was permanently trapped in his seventeen year old body. Three years, three long years it had been since Yuugi became a vampire and at first everything seemed alright, but as the months passed the realization hit hard. The breaking point for Yuugi was his eighteen birthday that same year when he became a vampire.

Yuugi would no longer age, he would not be able to graduation with his classmates, he would never see his friend again, and the worst of all he would never see his grandfather ever again.

If Yuugi could cry anymore he would, but his tears dried up a year ago. On the outside he could easily trick people into believing he was happy, but on the inside he was a mess.

The door to the room opened, but he didn't turn around to see who it was. Only two people would come into that room without knocking and that was his sister or his boyfriend.

Atemu came into Yuugi's line of view when he sat down in front of him. "You've been in front of this window for hours. Don't you want to come downstairs and celebrity your birthday?"

"What's the point? I'm dead so why should I celebrity my birthday anymore…"

"Come on Yuugi don't be like this. Today is your twentieth birthday. You are finally an adult."

A harsh glare that was extremely rare to see on Yuugi's face was sent Atemu's way. "I'm glad you can be so cheery about this. I'm trapped in the body of a seventeen year old! I was supposed to be in college by now getting a degree for a job I would love to do. My grandfather will never get the joy of seeing me graduate from high school or college. He probably thinks I'm lying in some street gutter or alley rotting away."

Atemu forced Yuugi to come closer to him and wrapped his arms around his boyfriend. "Listen I know this has been hard on you, but it's been three years. I told you when you are ready to be around humans I would let you see your grandfather so you can give him a proper goodbye."

"I can't take it! Every time I get near a human I just pick up that smell of blood and it's like my thirst for blood takes over and I have no control over my body. At this rate my grandfather will be dead before I can see him again."

"Don't say that Yuugi. I know you are stronger than this. Before long you will be able to get out of his house and enjoy life again." Atemu said to try and coax Yuugi to calm down. He had a surprise for Yuugi and he wanted Yuugi to be able to enjoy it.

Yuugi pushed himself out of Atemu's arms and picked up an old newspaper that was next to him. On the front page were two pictures, one of him and the other of Mike. It talked about a possible serial killer on the loose kidnapping young teens. That article was from three years ago one week after the attack by Mike and Victoria. It ate Yuugi up inside that the Gardener family would never see their son again or at least have a body to bury.

Atemu sighed and stood up. "Let me know when you are done moping around." He left something beside Yuugi and walked out of the room.

Two minutes after he left Yuugi finally looked down and took a look at what Atemu left behind. It was a small hand size white box with a red ribbon. Picking it up Yuugi took the ribbon off and opened the box. What was inside the box made his eyes widen and a gasp escape his lips. A beautiful silver ring laid on cotton inside and when he picked it up he saw 'Eternally Yours' was written across it in crimson diamonds.

"You know he wanted to make today special, but you wouldn't come downstairs."

Yuugi turned to see his sister standing in the doorway. She walked into the room before closing the door. "I understand things are tough for you, but I wish you would learn to be happy that you are alive. Right now you could be buried six feet under and then Atemu, grandpa, and I would be miserable."

Bella crossed the room and sat down beside her brother. She wrapped an arm around his shoulders and used the other hand to take the ring from Yuugi's hand. "Atemu loves you and he wants to help you, but it's like you are pushing us away. What can we do to make this better?"

Yuugi looked down at his hands that now rested gently in his lap. "I hate how I am feeling, but it's hard to let go of the life I once lived. I miss grandpa so much and I just want him to know I am better off."

"I need to ask this…"Bella looked at her Yuugi with a serious look on her face. "Do you think you could handle being around Grandpa without going all vampire on him?"

Silence filled the room and it took Yuugi a few minutes before he could answer. "I could try and what about my powers if I did kill him because of my thirst for blood I could just bring him back."

It was found out one month after Yuugi became a vampire that Yuugi's amazing special ability was a rare one that you wouldn't think a vampire would be able to have. Yuugi had the ability to bring the dead back to life. They figured that out when they were out hunting one day in the forest and Yuugi happened to run into a hiker. Yuugi had just been out hunting with his new family even if he didn't hunt the animals. He was just there for the fun of it. Well he ran into the hiker and the thirst for blood took over. The hiker didn't have a chance to even try and fight Yuugi off, before he killed him for blood. After the hiker was dead Yuugi grew into a panic and started to beat himself up over it. Atemu and Bella tried to calm him down and let him know it was only in his nature, but Yuugi wouldn't have it. Yuugi went into denial that the hiker was dead and tried to save him. The Cullen family was shocked that when Yuugi placed a hand over the man's heart, it started itself back up. Carlisle checked the guy all over and realized Yuugi had just bought the man back to life. It was a wonderful gift in Yuugi's opinion because it would mean he could be like Atemu and drink from humans but wouldn't have to worry about killing them.

The only down side to his ability was he had to be careful around his family. It hadn't been tested and they didn't want to test it out, but Carlisle believed that if Yuugi tried he could bring them back to life, since they were dead. However there was no way to tell if turning back into a human would be good after being a vampire for hundreds of years. There was a chance that someone like Atemu or Carlisle could turn to dust or bones if Yuugi turn them back human. For a while Yuugi was scared to even touch Atemu, but he came to realize as long as he didn't try to bring Atemu back alive it wouldn't happen. It was all a matter of if he wanted the person or animal to come back to life.

"I'm not sure if trying would be good." Bella said uneasy, "I think it would hurt you more if you did end up killing grandpa and have to bring him back."

"I can get Carlisle to bring plenty of blood from the hospital and drink lots of it before I go." Yuugi said trying to reason with his sister. He really wanted to see his grandfather.

It was common now for Carlisle to bring blood home and put it in the fridge for Yuugi. Yuugi hated the taste of animal blood and he didn't feel right having to kill a human for blood. It would be easy to just drink a little from a human, but then there was the fact of the venom and they didn't need more vampires running around Domino. That and Atemu still wouldn't let him go into the city just yet because he was still a new born vampire and no one wanted Yuugi to go on a killing spree.

Bella hugged her brother and stood up. "I'll talk to Carlisle and work something out."

When she turned to leave Yuugi realized she still had his ring in her hand. "Bella can I have my ring back?" He asked.

"You can have it if you come downstairs and let Atemu properly give it to you." Bella left the room without another word.

Yuugi sat there for a minute before he stood up and changed his clothes. If Atemu was going to do what Yuugi thought he was then Yuugi wanted to be dressed nice and not in his pajamas.

Two days after Yuugi's birthday a decision was finally made on whether or not Yuugi would be able to see his grandfather. Carlisle determined that as long as Yuugi drank enough blood then he most likely wouldn't feel the need to feed for a while. Atemu and Bella decided to take an extra precaution and take Yuugi into town after the sun went down so that way there wouldn't be many people out on the streets.

Currently they were sitting in Atemu's car on the side street beside the game shop. It was late so the shop was closed and it would be easier to go to the side door and knock. Bella leaned forward from her seat in the back and looked between the two in the front. "So are we ready?"

Yuugi took a deep breath and nodded. He had to be strong so that his grandfather wouldn't get hurt. Plus they didn't need him knowing about vampires.

Each of them got out of the car and put the hoods to their black cloaks up. All three approached the door and Yuugi knocked on it. Bella and Atemu moved so that they each could grab a hold of Yuugi if they had to. This would be Yuugi's first proper introduction to a human since the hiker.

It took a few minutes but before long the door opened just a little and Solomon's face could be seen. "May I help you?" He asked a little uneasy. It wasn't all the time he got a knock on his door so late at night.

Yuugi lowered his hood just enough for Grandpa to see who it was.

Solomon swung the door open quickly and stared at Yuugi with wide eyes. "Y-Yuugi…"

A timid nod came from Yuugi as he held back the urge to hug his grandfather. He was surprised that he didn't feel the need to drink blood even if his grandfather smelled so good. Drinking all that blood during the day paid off after all. "May we come in? I have some important things I need to discuss with you."

"Of course," Solomon said as he ushered them all in. "I'm so relived you are alive Yuugi. The police still have the case open about your disappearance, but I was worried they would find you dead."

The small group made them-selves comfortable in the living room before Solomon started asking questions. "Where have you been all this time Yuugi? What happened?"

Yuugi lowered his hood all the way. "Grandpa I wish I could but I can't tell you why I disappeared. As for where I have been I've been with Atemu and his family."

Atemu lowered his hood and looked nervous at the fierce glare sent his way by Solomon. "Hi Mr. Mutou…."

"All this time my grandson has been with you and you couldn't call and tell me!" Solomon exclaimed. "Three years I've been made to believe my grandson is dead!"

Yuugi stood up from his spot on the couch and kneeled in front of his grandfather who sat in his recliner. "Please don't be mad at Atemu. He is the only reason I'm not dead." In a matter of speaking he was dead, but vampires had to stay a secret.

Grandpa sighed and ran a hand through his gray hair. He didn't understand a thing that was going on and Yuugi had already told him he couldn't tell him. "Can you tell me anything about what has been going on? And have you come home for good?"

Yuugi lowered his glaze to the floor. "I can't tell you anything, but I'm in good hands Grandpa. As for if I'm home for good, no I'm not coming home. I need to be with Atemu and his family from now on and I need you to understand that after this meeting we won't see each other again."

Grandpa looked heartbroken at those words and pulled Yuugi into a tight hug. It was one of those hugs where he didn't want to let go.

Bella thought it was time she showed herself so she lowered her hood down. "Grandpa…"

Solomon looked up at that voice and his eyes widen again at seeing his granddaughter who had been missing for so many years people were determined to believe she was dead.

Yuugi let go of his grandfather so that Solomon could stand up and embrace his granddaughter. He smiled at the site of Bella and Grandpa reuniting.

Solomon pulled back from the hug and looked at Bella from arms length. She hadn't changed one bit since he last saw her, except her eyes. "Bella what happened to you?"

Bella sighed. "Grandpa the same thing that happened to Yuugi happened to me a while back when I disappeared. It's something that couldn't be helped and we can't tell you about it."

It's was Solomon's turn to sigh. "I hate not knowing what is going on."

"We know it will hurt, but you will need to forget about us and that you saw us tonight." Atemu spoke up.

Solomon returned to his recliner and sat down. "I don't know if I can handle this."

Yuugi reached out and took his grandfather's hand in his. He wore black gloves like Atemu used to. "I love you so much grandpa and I enjoyed the years we had together, but things have changed and I need to leave. I wanted to give a proper goodbye so you at least wouldn't have to worry about the police finding my dead body."

Solomon squeezed Yuugi's hand and let a few tears fall from his eyes. "No matter what I will always love you two, you were the best grandchildren anyone could have asked for." He looked toward Bella. "Make sure to take good care of your brother…" He turned a stern look toward Atemu. "You better take good care of my grandson or Bella has permission to kick your ass."

Bella grinned evilly at Atemu. "Yea Atemu I have permission to kick your ass."

Atemu sighed and buried his face in his heads. "What have I gotten myself into…?" He mumbled to himself.

Yuugi heard it however and giggled. He had a feeling Atemu would never hurt him, but Bella might pick a fight with Atemu just for the heck of it to see if she could kick his butt.

An hour was spent at Grandpa's house letting Yuugi and Bella get a proper goodbye with their grandfather before all three vampires had to leave. Yuugi and Bella got one last hug before they got into Atemu's car. Atemu even hugged grandpa before getting in the car and driving off. Grandpa waved to them until he couldn't see the car and then went back inside. He may not have gotten any information about what his grandchildren had gotten themselves into, but he knew that as long as they had each other they would be alright and that was all that mattered to him.

Five more years down the road and Yuugi was finally able to get his life in check. It wasn't hard anymore for him to go into town on cloudy days. Although Yuugi hated that he couldn't go to the beach on a sunny day given the fact he sparkled and that would catch attention. Times were changing, but Yuugi still had to watch out and make sure no one recognized him from the newspaper. He often wore a hoodie to hide his hair and face.

Atemu enjoyed taking him out on dates and Bella loved taking Yuugi out shopping. Atemu and Edward preferred to stay home on shopping days but Nessie, Alice, and Rosalie loved to tag along.

Yuugi and Atemu got married one year after Yuugi last saw his grandfather. It was a happy day for Yuugi, but was a little upsetting that his grandfather couldn't be there. Bella made it up to Yuugi by mailing grandpa pictures of the wedding. Yuugi never would know what his grandfather's reaction to the pictures would be, but he had a feeling it would be a good one. The wedding was small ceremony in the Cullen's living room with Carlisle as the priest. Atemu and Yuugi knew it would be hard to find a real priest to marry them so they settled for Carlisle since the only thing they were going to do was exchange vows and rings and say I do. It was still a beautiful day over all.

Even if things were looking up for Yuugi there was one tragic thing he had to deal with eight years after becoming a vampire. Two weeks after Yuugi's twenty fifth birthday, Solomon suffered a major heart attack while running his shop and was rush to the hospital. Carlisle had been working at the hospital when Solomon had been rushed in and tried his best to help the doctors and nurses save his life. However no matter what the doctors did Solomon passed on. After the time of death was written down, Carlisle left the hospital without a word and rush home to inform Bella and Yuugi.

Yuugi and Bella took it hard. Bella even demanded that Carlisle take them to the hospital. She had to see for herself that her grandfather had indeed passed on. Carlisle let them come with him back to the hospital, but he had to sneak them in to the morgue, since doctors and nurses knew Solomon had no other family in town. The only family left was aunts, uncles, and cousins but they all lived hours away.

The site of their grandfather in the morgue dead torn them up inside, but they knew deep down that he was in a better place. Yuugi didn't even think about using his power because if he did bring his grandfather back to life it wouldn't be long before he died again given his age.

The funeral was set up by an aunt who quickly came into town once she heard the news. It was to be held in two weeks...

Two weeks passed by quickly for Yuugi and Bella and they weren't happy about it. They were currently home after getting back from grandpa's funeral. It was hard because they had to go and stay in the back so no one recognized them. With so many family members being there one of them could of gotten caught. However Bella and Yuugi made sure to keep their identities a secret and left once the funeral was over.

Atemu walked into his and Yuugi's room and watched as his husband undressed himself out of his funeral clothes and changed into some jeans and t-shirt. Atemu, who had gone to the funeral too, had already changed into a pair of jeans and a black muscle shirt.

Yuugi turned away from the bed and gave Atemu a force smiled. "I never thought I would of gone to a funeral as a vampire."

Atemu approached Yuugi and kissed his forehead. "I wish your grandfather was still alive Yuugi, but as you have told me he is in a better place."

Their attention was turned down to the small toddler in Atemu's arms. The little boy looked so much like Yuugi expect his skin was tan and his eyes were amethyst. His hair lay flat unlike Yuugi and Atemu's hair and it was only two colors black and blond instead of three.

The child was only five months old and he was Yuugi and Atemu's child. Vampires were not supposed to be able to have children, but Yuugi ended up finding a way around it. He hadn't meant for it to happen, but one night last year after making love Yuugi and Atemu had been talking and Yuugi started wishing they could have children together. It was impossible because Yuugi and Atemu were vampires plus Yuugi was a boy. They were proven wrong when two months later Yuugi ended up pregnant. Unlike Bella he had a normal pregnancy and carried the child for nine months.

The only explanation Carlisle could give them was that Yuugi's powers must have gotten involved. He could not only bring the dead back to life, but he could create life. So for nine months Yuugi carried his baby and then had his child. He didn't even feel any pain when Carlisle had to cut him open. The little one was a miracle in Yuugi's eyes.

The little one was named Ari Solomon Cullen. His middle name was chosen as Solomon, because Yuugi loved his grandfather. Bella had a habit of calling him Ari-Sol just to get on Yuugi's nerves. Ari grew at a normal pace like a human and it seemed he was more human than vampire since Yuugi created him. The child had a heart beat, but he craved blood. There was no way to know however if the child would stop growing like Nessie did and stay immortal but it seemed more than like it because he had vampire characteristics.

Atemu handed the little one over to Yuugi as Ari reached out for his 'mommy'. "I hope he was a good boy for Grandpa Carlisle and Grandma Esme." Yuugi said as he took his child into his arms.

"They have never had a problem before." Atemu ruffled his son's hair, which made his son giggle.

Yuugi ran his hand through his son's hair and kissed his forehead. "I wish Ari could have meet Grandpa. I know Grandpa would have enjoyed spoiling him."

Atemu rolled his eyes. "I think our family spoils him enough."

A chuckle escaped Yuugi's lips as he thought of how much his new family spoiled their little boy. He may be a spoiled child, but he was also loved by all. Yuugi never thought he would learn the joy of having his own child, but here he was married with an adorable son.

Life may have seemed horrible in the beginning with everything that had been going on, but after some unexpected changes Yuugi knew he wouldn't change his life for anything.

The End
