OH MY GOSH! Okay, so I am basically freaking out right now from all of the AMAZING reviews! I am not even kidding!

The reviews for the last chapter were probably the best I have EVER received for any story I have ever written. Apparently, I made many of you cry. I am also apparently very good at portraying emotions. This is also apparently one of the best fanfictions you have read, according to you guys.

Do you know how that makes me feel? You guys, I am like…floating…right now! I am so beyond happy! The thing that makes me the happiest though is that you guys think I have natural talent. You are telling me to use my talent wisely. I promise you all, I will do my best.

I seriously think I have some self-esteem issues, but after all of these reviews, you guys have boosted my self-esteem so much. I still don't agree that this is one of the best fanfictions. I still don't agree that I have born talent. But now I do think I am fairly good thanks to all the reviews.

Thank you all so much! Seriously! I can't thank you all enough! You are absolutely amazing!

Anyway…this will be the last chapter of Forgiveness. Enjoy it!

JAR:

"N'swer me," I said quietly through the haziness.

"When you wake up Bella. Sleep now my angel. I will love you forever." He began to hum my lullaby and I drifted to sleep.


Bella's Point of View

I woke up and found my self still in the hospital. I was mad at that, but I realized that I at least didn't have an IV anymore.

"Sleep well my love?" Edward asked from beside me smiling hugely.

My breath caught in my throat at the sight of his smile. I hadn't seen him smile like that in forever. "Y-y-oh," was all I could get out.

Edward laughed. It was music to my ears. "Am I dazzling you?" he asked.

I looked away and cleared my throat. "I don't see how that should surprise you," I said quietly.

Edward laughed again and took my face in his hands. He turned me toward him and kissed me on the lips. When he pulled away, I smiled hugely and snuggled close to him.

"While you were sleeping, I was thinking," he said.

"Oh?"

"Yeah. I was thinking about…changing you," he said running his hands through my hair.

I didn't make any sudden movements. I didn't want to seem too eager; that might make him change his mind. Instead, I ran my fingers along his chest as I asked, "And what is your decision?"

He sighed. "I will change you," he said quietly.

Still, I made no sudden movements fearing he would change his mind. "Really?" I whispered.

"After all, we do have souls, right?" he asked.

I couldn't hold it in anymore. I sat up and pounced on Edward smothering him in kisses, laughing the whole time. "Thank-kiss-you-kiss-so-kiss-much!"

Edward chuckled and rolled us so he was now on top of me. "If I had known you would react this way, I would have said yes a long time ago," he said.

I laughed. Soon though, my smile began to fade. So did Edward's. We stared at eachother all the silliness now gone.

Edward ran his fingers softly along my cheek. I reached up and ran my hand through his hair. I could not believe the feelings emanating off of him right now. I was probably sending him the same feelings. They were feelings of pure and utter love.

Slowly, Edward leaned into me and put his lips lightly against mine. At first, the kiss was soft, careful. But as it went on, it became urgent. I knotted my hands in his hair as he ran his tongue, his beautiful tongue, along my bottom lip. I shivered in delight.

Realizing that I was losing air quickly, Edward carefully pulled his lips away from me but didn't let go. He held me tight and smiled at me hugely. His eyes seemed to sparkle like he did in the sun.

"Do you know how much I love you?" he whispered not wanting to break the moment with his loud voice.

"You can't love me as much as I love you," I said just as quietly.

Edward lay next to me now making sure not to let any space come between us. He pulled me close to him and breathed in the scent of my hair.

"I'm so sorry Edward," I whispered.

"For what?" he breathed.

"For everything I have put you through. For the way I acted when Charlie died. For not forgiving you right away. For not trusting you."

Edward turned me so I was looking right into his smoldering eyes. "Don't ever apologize for anything Bella!" he said. "Charlie was…is…your father. If you had acted any differently, I would have been worried. And if you had forgiven me right away and trusted me again right away, that would have been wrong. I deserved everything you did Bella. Don't you dare apologize."

"But…"

"No Bella!" He stared me in the eyes trying to get me to understand. "I hurt you. I didn't deserve your forgiveness or trust."

"You know that you have both now though right?" I questioned quietly.

He relaxed and smiled. "Yes. I will forever be in your debt my Bella."

I smiled and looked at his beautiful lips. "Now can we stop talking so you can kiss me? I have been without it for far too long now."

Edward chuckled. "As you wish," he whispered before crushing his lips to mine.
