Author's Note: I'd first like to thank the readers who have been reading my story oh so religiously, thank you for all your comments and support. I do this for you! (And because I'm having so much fun with the story.) Let me tell, of all three options that lie before Edward and Bella mentioned in Chapter 10, I don't know which one I'm going with. And there is a VERY good chance it could be any one of them. However, I do have an ending picked out for each scenario, and I wanted to let you guys know that whichever one I pick I will post the alternate endings as well, for your enjoyment, if you don't get the option you like.

I hope you guys like this chapter, it took me a while to figure out what to do with Jane, but I'm satisfied.

"Where are we going?" I asked for the millionth time that night.

"Away from everything." Edward gave me the same answer he'd been giving me all night. "So we can talk."

He stopped running and put me down on the ground. Then he took my hand in his.

After both Edward and I came to terms with the three options we had, he suddenly became boisterous. He was bouncing on his feet with some hidden energy that I found hard to understand.

"Okay, well you keep saying that and it doesn't get any clearer." I said to him. He grinned at me.

"Have you ever seen our meadow at night?" he asked me. I grinned back.

"No."

"You can see straight up to the stars." He stopped walking and pulled me into him. He kissed me for a long time.

"No, no stopping." I complained when he'd pulled away. He flashed me my favorite crooked smile. I recognized the clearing up ahead.

"Don't worry; you'll get tired of my lips before the night's over." He whispered in my ear.

My stomach flipped.

"That'll never happen." I replied.

He sat down and motioned for me to come into his lap.

"So, I have a question for you." He said. I was expecting him to ask me which option I'd wanted but that wasn't what he asked. "Do you prefer my eyes gold or green?"

"Oh come on!"

"No, really, Bella, which do you like better?" he asked. I twisted around to get a better view of him.

I shrugged. "I like them both." That was one of the biggest understatements ever.

He rolled his eyes and brought my face down so he could kiss me.

"That wasn't the question you thought I would ask you." He said once he'd pulled away.

"You know me so well."

"What did you think I'd ask you?"

I leaned my forehead against his. "I thought you were going to ask me which option I liked best."

"May I guess?" he asked.

"Sure." I wondered what he would guess. I was sure I knew which one he wanted.

"Well, I don't think you know, do you? Because you're worried if we stay human we won't get to stay with our family. And you also think that changing me now will make me sad." He said.

I moved my head to his chest. His heartbeat was more prominent, I didn't have to listen too hard this time.

"What happened to me being hard to read?" I asked. His laughter shook me.

"Oh there's still plenty I don't know."

"All the more reason to be together for eternity." I pressed my lips against his neck.

"Is that really what you want? For both of us to be vampires?" he didn't sound mad, just curious.

"I don't know. Your guess was right, I'm not sure. Is it wrong to say that we'll cross that bridge when we come to it?" I replied.

"No, it's not wrong." He started to play with my hair. "I love you Bella Cullen." He said after a little while of silence.

"I love you Edward Cullen." The words flooded me with warmth. Why were we so happy when everything around us was so wrong?

"Good morning." A musical voice said in my ear. I turned on my side. I noticed Edward's smile was in place.

"Yes, it is." I said.

"I dreamed about you last night." He said casually.

I sat up. "You slept?"

"Yes. I guess technically now, I can sleep with you." He said. I smiled and lay back down beside him. "You know, even if this doesn't last, I'm glad I got to be human again. I didn't know dreaming was so pleasant."

"Well, not until you hit the nightmares." I said.

"Well I didn't have one last night." His words intrigued me.

"So what happened? In your dream I mean." I asked him.

"I dreamt about our first night together." He answered. I smiled and moved closer to him. "Let's get home." As soon as we were standing Edward stood stock still. He then moved in front of me. I recognized the posture.

There was a vampire in our midst. And not a friendly one. Jane stepped into the meadow.

"Enjoying yourselves?" she asked.

"Until now." Edward replied. I glanced at him nervously. I didn't want him to anger Jane; her gift was my least favorite out of every vampire I'd ever met.

Jane only laughed though. Her laugh was like wind chimes. A breeze blew her raven hair all around her.

"How does it feel? To be like this after so long?" her eyes showed her sincere curiosity but her voice was guarded.

"Different." Was all Edward said.

"You'll have to give me more than that. It's not as if I asked to be left here. Wouldn't you prefer having me over Demetri?" she almost laughed while speaking. Edward shrugged.

"I'd prefer it if we were just left alone." He answered truthfully.

Jane took a few steps toward us. "I don't know why Aro has taken such an interest in you. Bella especially. He wanted me to pass on his wishes, that you will consider changing."

"He really thinks she'll have some useful gift." Said Edward, hearing Jane's thoughts most likely.

Jane finally made eye contact with me. "I hate the comparison."

"I know." I said before I could stop myself. Jane smiled.

"Aro is probably right. But I find it hard to take you seriously, you still being human and all." She said.

"Edward's just about human too." I replied.

"That's true. I'm guessing if we hadn't come you would've stayed that way. Why would you want to?" she moved closer now.

Edward's arm wound around my waist protectively.

"I'm not going to do anything to her." She assured him. Then, with a troublesome smile, "I've been forbidden."

"Well what would you like us to do?" Edward asked. Once the thought entered Jane's head I could see Edward roll his eyes.

"You're that jealous of her?" he asked.

"If Bella changes, she will become Aro's favorite." Jane said simply.

"I don't want to join The Volturi." I said. The thought horrified me.

"That's what I said before they changed me." And for once, pure sadness was reflected on Jane's angelic face.
