A/N: So I'm done my first two days of school. I have Law 120, Math 112, English 112, Media Studies 120 and Biology 112. Can we say hectic? We also have this German foreign exchange student named Max Kessler. Not bad looking. It was my second day at school and I was already holding books at the library. Can we say nerd? Anyway, here's the last chapter of Protectress. There will be this one then the epilogue. Then I'm done! I hope you like this chapter. It kind of just went that way for me. Enough of my rambling, on with the story!
Disclaimer: I own nothing of Twilight. Sadly :'(

The pain was horrible. I knew I only had a couple more minutes before I died. Who knew dying could be so painful. My mother was explaining that now the Cullens were human and she was right. Edward now had green eyes and he was crying. It hurt me even more to see him cry. I needed him to be strong. For me.
My mother than looked down at me and said the words that I never thought I'd ever hear her say. "I was wrong. Love is wonderful, and men can be good to woman. I don't want to see my only daughter die. Isabella, I am going to heal you, so that you and Edward can have a wonderful, long life." I started crying again and then I felt something warm over my wound. Soon the warm spread over my whole body until the pain subsided.
I opened my eyes, I didn't realize I had closed them, and immediately my gaze fell on Edward. He was smiling one of the biggest grins I have ever seen. It looked like his face was going to break. He still had tears in his eyes, but this time they were tears of joy. I then looked at my mother.
"Thank you, mother." She smiled at me. I forgot the rest of the Cullens were standing there until I heard Emmett.
"Aw, now maybe Eddie will finally lose his virtue after 108 years." He started laughing and Rosalie smacked him on the back of the head. Me and Edward just glared at him.
"There is nothing wrong with being a virgin, Emmett. I have been one for 5000 years." He looked shocked and I smiled. "And that is nothing compared to my mother. She's been a virgin since the beginning of time itself." I smiled at my mother and she smiled back at me. I still was a little weak, but I tried to stand up. Edward realised what I was doing and helped me up. I leaned on him for support.
"There is seriously something wrong with you three." That was the wrong thing to say, my mother got mad.
"Will you shut up! I don't want to hear you talk until I leave." And suddenly Emmett was mouth less. We all laughed. "Now Isabella, you are human along with the Cullens. And since you are human, we will never see each other again. You know that right?" I nodded, I knew this would happen if I ever chose mortality. "I'll miss you. I love you so much, my daughter, my Isabella." I had tears in my eyes.
"I love you too, Mother." I hugged her tightly.
"I will always watch over you, and your children and their children and so on." I smiled, she kissed me on the forehead.
"Thank you, mother. I'll miss you with all my heart." She nodded and hugged me one last time. Then she turned to Edward.
"Take care of my little girl. You have made me believe in love. Thank you, Edward." He nodded.
"I will always take care of her. Forever, even if it has a different meaning now." He looked down at himself and smiled. I smiled too and hugged him tightly. Mother smiled at us.
"I must go now. I love you Bella." And then she was gone. I hugged Edward tighter and started crying again. From the loss of my mother, and my former life. But mostly they were tears of joy. I got to live, to be with Edward. Life couldn't get any better than this.
Me and Edward turned around and saw his family. They were of course human and by the looks of their faces, they love it.
"So we're really human now?" I turned to look at Edward and nodded. he grinned and picked me up. He twirled me around and kissed me with passion. He was just as happy as I was, maybe more.
When we broke apart I grinned and we looked at the rest of the family again.
Esme and Carlisle were talking together over by the small stream.
Rosalie and Emmett were in full make-out mode. I cringed slightly just thinking about what would happen later between those two.
Alice and Jasper were sitting together on the ground, holding each other. I smiled to myself. They finally got something they all wanted. Suddenly, breaking the silence, Carlisle spoke up.
"So we are human now? We can live normal lives? Have kids, grow old and die?" I smiled and nodded. Rosalie was excited with the idea of having kids.
"Um, Bella?" I turned to look at Edward. He was looking down at me with so much love and desire, I almost went weak at the knees.
"Yes, Edward?"
"I think I have to use the bathroom." I laughed. My life was perfect.
He he, I had to put that in there. I hope you enjoyed my story. Read and Review!
