Both men put their initials next to all the changes in the document and we parted ways. We all agreed to meet back at the house in an hour to give anyone a chance to hunt if they wished.

Emmett and Rosalie were the last to arrive. We were all seated at the dining room table.

"Ok Bella, we'll need to move soon and we'd like your opinion. We have an isolated house in Alaska, Nova Scotia, England and Russia. Where would you like to go?" Carlisle asked me.

"Um, anywhere is fine. I guess Alaska will work." I answered and heard both Edward and Rosalie groan.

"We don't have to go there. Don't make me pick." I said in a panic, assuming I had made the wrong choice.

"It's not that Bella. Alaska is fine. It's the slut sisters I'm worried about." Rosalie said gently.

"Slut sisters?"

"Alice looked at Edward and then I was securely in his arms a foot away from the table.

"Yes, there is a coven of five vampires there, our cousins if you will for we all share the same diet. However, three of them are sucubbi and periodically like to try and seduce our husbands. They usually back down, but Tanya won't leave Edward alone." Alice explained. I growled.

"What?" At least now I knew why I was being restrained. I had nowhere to channel my anger.

"Yeah, she's been trying to get in his pants for decades. She's never been turned down by an unmated male vampire before and her bonus is that he's still a virgin." Carlisle told me.

"NO! MINE!" I yelled. Edward was using all of his strength to keep me close to him. I felt calmness and lethargy wash over me and glared at Jasper.

"Calm down Bella, yes, I'm yours and you are mine." He said softly and kissed the side of my head.

"They're not here, ok? Calm yourself my love." He purred and I finally settled enough to be rational again.

"We'll be sure to train Bella to fight after school and we'll warn Tanya before we go there to leave Edward alone." I growled again and was quickly calmed again by Edward.

"Moving on; Bella, as Edward's mate, you are also a part of this family. You've been a sister and a daughter to us from the day we met and we'd like to make it official." Carlisle opened and box and presented me with a necklace.

"This is the Cullen Crest. Everyone in the family has one. We'd like you to have yours." He handed it to Edward, who then placed it on my neck. I had a flashback memory and then grabbed Edward's wrist.

"I remember wondering why it still felt brand new when you said you'd had it for years and never take it off." He smiled.

"I'm glad you didn't ask. I wouldn't have known how to respond. Do you like yours?"

"Yes, it's beautiful, thank you." I looked around the room and everyone was smiling at me.

"You took our cuff off for her?" Emmett asked in disbelief.

"She's my mate. I couldn't and wouldn't deny her such a simple request." Edward answered and wrapped his arm around my shoulders.

"Whipped." Emmett coughed into his fist.

"Hypocrite." Edward coughed back at him and at the same time, Rosalie smacked Emmett in the back of the head.

"Ok, children, let's continue. Bella, the ladies will be helping your mother pack your things. Most of it will be coming here."

"Jasper told me when he cam to pick me up this afternoon. I really appreciate everything you've all done to help me retain my memories. Thank you all so much; thank you for helping my parents to grieve and to help me transition." I interrupted him.

"You're welcome. We've all loved you since we met you; whether as a daughter, a sister, a friend, or a mate. You're very easy to love." Esme said.

"Thank you." I hid my face from the compliment; glad I can't blush anymore.

"I think that covers everything for tonight. Meeting adjourned." Carlisle announced and everyone left. Edward and I were left sitting there. He suddenly rushed off and was back before I could feel abandoned.

"Let's go find a place to put these." He said and held up my journals. I smiled as he took my hand and led me up the stairs.

"Would you still like your own room or would you like to move in with me?"

"Um, whatever you want is fine with me." I answered shyly. His whole face lit up.

"Great, let's go rearrange everything." He started to pull me into his/our room, but I frowned and hesitated. I didn't want him to change his whole life around for me.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm an inconvenience to you."

"Never." His answer was immediate and I heard absolute certainty in his voice.

"But…" His finger on my lips stopped my words.

"Do you know how long I've waited, how long I've dreamed of finding my mate; how eager I've been to share every part of myself? It's been very difficult to always be the extra guy living with first one, then two and finally three mated couples around me. I'm so happy that I've found you. Nothing you could ask is too great or difficult or expensive. I will do anything for you."

"Even change my parents?" I challenged.

"If it is what you truly want, then I will find a way." He promised.

"No, I will miss them, but I can't be that selfish."

"Are you sure? It's not a selfish desire, there are days that I wish I still had my birth parents around. We all do."

"I'm sure; thank you for offering."

"Now, can we work on our room together?" He asked and I smiled. He opened the door and I stood there in shock. There were three boxes on a bed. I searched my human memories; that's not the same bed I remember.

"Is that bed new?"

"Yes, my old one is the bed you were on while you were changing. So, see, I would have had to move everything anyway; this bed is larger than my last one." He nudged my shoulder and wore a smirk. I smiled.

"What are these?" I pointed at the boxes.

"I'm guessing they're yours. Your human scent is all over it." I took a sniff. I felt my eyes turn black.

"How do you do it?" I begged.

"You learn; do you need to go hunting?" He was concerned for me.

"What do I smell like now?"

"That plus a touch of all of us; especially me. I'm not only your mate, but your sire as well, though every single one of us added some venom into your wound that nigh. We all love you, Bella. You smell amazing Bella and I've been addicted since the very first second that I caught your scent. It's one reason I was gone for a few days after we met. Your blood called to me; begged me to take you somewhere private and drain you dry. You were what vampires refer to as a blood singer; everything about you sang to me. You were very lucky to have survived that day. Next time your get the chance, take a whiff of Rosalie, Emmett and Esme; we all smell just a little like Carlisle because he sired all four of us. Our own scent is still the most prominent though." My eyes were still black and the smell was quite distracting.

"What should I do? That smells really, really good." I said, trying not to breathe.

"I think you should breathe normally. This is good practice for learning to tolerate human scents and no one will be hurt this way. If you feel like you can't handle it anymore, I'll take you hunting. It does get easier over time." He said and I nodded. I took another good long whiff and discovered that my own new scent was really close to my old one. I opened the first box and found all of my books, which made me happy. Edward went to his desk and produced my Ipod. I smiled.

We listened to music while we rearranged everything. I separated the books that were duplicates and decided I would read while everyone was at school.

Edward was busy clearing space on the walls for the bed. I helped him move it and then we put the sheets on.

"What time do you normally go to bed?" I asked because even though it was getting late, I wasn't even close to being tired. I could hear Emmett laughing.

"Um, we don't sleep." Edward said quietly and rubbed his hand across the back of his neck in a nervous gesture.

"Ever?" My eyes were wide.

"No."

"Then why do we need a bed?" I asked; to me, it was perfectly logical. Again, Emmett was laughing until it stopped with a 'thwack'. Rosalie must have hit him.

"Well, for one, it's for the human charade and two, in this house a bed is used for other…activities." He explained.

"Oh."

"Yeah, I'll explain more when we have some privacy." He said.

"I'm a big girl Edward, I know about sex." I said. Emmett laughed. Rosalie hit him again.

"Does she hit him a lot?" I asked.

"Depends on the day." Edward shrugged.

"Good." I said.

"Hey!" Emmett protested and yet another 'thwack' was heard.

"Quit listening to their conversation and start listening to ours." I heard her scold him.

"Um, there's a bit more to it than just sex." Edward said, bringing my attention back to the previous topic.

"Like I said, I'll explain it when we're alone." He finished and I nodded. As much as I wanted to know, now was not the time. Edward and I moved all of his music and shelved my books in with his. We cleared some room in his closet and drawers for my clothes. I had some. Alice had gone out to buy me some, but they weren't really my style. Edward showed me everything and told me stories of his life over the last century. I soaked up every word eagerly. Though he spoke of both good times and bad, I still heard the melancholy in his voice that he didn't have his mate (me) to share it all with mostly because I hadn't been born yet. He even showed me where he hides his most treasured items; his human memories.

"Depending on what you choose to keep and treasure, you can share my current safe or I can install a larger one for us. I know I said it before, but it's true, I have no secrets from you my love." I nodded with a smile. We both knew I wasn't ready to say it back yet and for now, that was ok.

A/N: So sorry for the delay last week. RL got in the way, but I'll make it up to you and post again tomorrow. We're close to the end and though it's always sad to bring a story to the close, it's also a good feeling that I finished something and be able to share it with the world. Your reviews have been awesome and I thank you all for them. I respond to every one that I'm able to.

Time for my catch phrase; reviews are wanted and appreciated. Have a great day everyone! Kelly
