Sorry I haven't written anything in about 3 months. I've been really busy, with no time to spare, due to essay's and projects coming at me right and left from every one of my teachers. I'll do my best to write write, write, with what little spare time I have. I hope you enjoy this chapter, and the holidays!

Edwards POV

I hadn't left Bella's side in the last 48 hours. Alice kept trying to persuade me to take a break, but I refused every time. Emmett walked into the room just as I had slipped Bella's hand into my own.

"This book has got it totally wrong," he laughed. "It's about some whipped chick, Elena, who falls in love with a vampire. He has a ring that allows him to go out in the sunlight. And we all know that vampires do not burn in the light!" (AN…sorry, I couldn't help myself…I love Vampire Diaries)

"Oh, interesting," I groaned, "tell me more."

"Oh, there's some evil vampire chick Katherine. Umm…they bleed, and all like humans. And there's the vampire guys' brother Damon, who pretty much eats everyone."

"Are you done now?"

"No."

"Trust me, you're done. Now go away."

"Don't be bitchin about it."

"I'll be bitc…grouchy if I want to be, Emmett." He left the room mumbling, a few moments later. "Sounds kind of like a twisted up version of our story, huh Bella?" I whispered into her ear. "Wake up soon. I miss you."

"How is she," asked Julia's voice from behind me.

"Well, she's just so still, that she could be dead for all we know."

"Edward…vampires are the living dead. And if you haven't noticed…we can stay untraceably still for a long time. She's changing, and there is nothing you can do, but hope she can control the thirst as well as my sister and I did when we awoke."

"I just miss…Bella talking in her sleep about me, and how she blushed, and how her face lit up when I walked into a room. I'll miss it all…and no matter how much I love that she'll be with me forever… I can't help but wonder what experiences she's missing in life."

"Come here." I stood up, and Julia hugged me and said, "Just make Bella's new life as good as possible. The past is behind you, just concentrate on your future together." Julia let me go, and walked out of the room. I sat back down beside Bella, and waited for her to awaken. Everything was going to be okay.

Bella's POV

The pain was finally lifting. I could hear bits of a conversation concerning me.

"She should be awake soon," Alice stated in a sing-song voice.

"I hope so," Edward replied in a hopeful voice.

"I'm going to hunt now. I'll be back at four o'clock."

"I'll see you then Alice." The bedroom door creaked shut, and I felt Edward's hand in my own. I drifted back into the unconscious world once more.

A few hours later…

My eyelids slowly parted open, exposing my eyes to the dim moon-lit room that I had stayed in for the last few weeks. Edward stood across the room. I snuck up behind him and sprung. He turned just then, catching me in his arms. I caressed his neck and collar-bone with soft, passionate kisses that seemed to linger forever. Then, our lips met. There was no holding back. My tongue slid over my teeth. They were much sharper and stronger than they had been mere days ago. Edward let my feet touch the hardwood floor, and I eased him over to the bed. My hands held Edward's in a strong grip.

"Careful Bella," he warned. "You're stronger than me right now." The bedroom door burst open, and in strolled Rosalie and Emmett.

"Finally, at least someone's getting laid around here."

"Shut up Emmett," I growled, and helped Edward to his feet.

"No, I swear…no one in the house has gotten laid in like…forever." Rosalie dug her long, manicured nails into Emmett's arm."No need to be feisty Rose," he grinned. "Welcome to our world sis." Emmett walked over to me, and gave me a hug.

"Sis?" I growled.

"I could call you sissy if u don't like sis."

"No, it's fine I guess." It felt great that Emmett thought of me as family. A grin spread its way across my face, and Edward wrapped his arm around my waist from behind as Emmett and Rosalie left the room.

"They're giving us some alone time," Edward whispered, then, he kissed the top of my head.

"He'll give us alone time the day I eat another ass sandwich! (AN: I don't know if u remember, but Edward's ass sandwich was in an earlier chapter) …Which will be like…never! I'm kinda hungry."

"Then let's hunt Bella." Edward grabbed my hand, and lead downstairs, and out the front door.

Julia's POV

I lay on a patch of grass in a large meadow isolated at the end of a mountainous trail. I just lay there…thinking about nothing, and inhaling the numerous aromas that circled around me in the gentle breeze. Carlie walked into the clearing and lay down beside me.

"What are you thinking about sis?" Carlie asked.

"Nothing really."

"I miss mom and dad," Carlie attempted not to look too upset.

"I know what you mean Carlie..." Carlie touched my hand and got a blank look on her face. "Are you okay Carlie?" She didn't move for a few more seconds, then, her eyes seemed to glaze over. "Carlie…answer me! Are you alright? What's wrong?" I was sitting up now, and Carlie's hand was now gripping mine tightly. One more minute of silence on her part, and freaking out on my part before her gaze became normal once more.

"I saw something. I saw a man…and you. You…you were embraced in his arms. Together. And…you were in a grey brick walled room. Not much light…and another man sitting in a chair. He wants you to join him. He wants you by his side. He wants both of us. Red eyes, pale skin, older than us, but so beautiful."

"Do any of these men have names?"

"Aro…the other I do not know. They are both strong, I can tell."

"We need to go home and tell the others what you just saw."

"I guess I'm like Alice…but through touch."

"I guess so…now come on." We took off through the trees, and were back at the house in a matter of minutes.

OoOoOoOoOoO

Bella had awoken, and she sat contently next to Edward on the couch. Alice sat at the piano with Jasper, and Rosalie sat in Emmett's lap on the floor of the living room.

"Carlie saw my future," I burst out immediately. "She touched me and saw it." Alice ran over, and everyone stared in shock.

"What did you see Carlie," Alice asked. Carlie then proceeded to tell everyone what she had seen.

"Aro wants you two?" Alice asked.

"So who's the guy," Emmett boomed. "You getting laid in the future?"

"Honestly Emmett, this is serious!" Rosalie slapped him.

"Oh, I'm scared, I've been slapped!" he laughed. Rosalie punched him in the gut this time, causing Emmett to go sliding across the room. He got up, and spoke no more.
