Finally: Part Two (Lemon)
Edward P.O.V.
As I watched my lovely wife sleep, I was wondering if I had made the right decision. I knew that I loved my beautiful Bella but I didn't now if I could do this to her. I didn't want her to regret it if she changed her mind later on. She turned and started talking in her sleep. If everything went as planned today, this would be the last time I would ever hear her do this. I kissed her beautiful smile and she turned all the way around. Involuntarily, she wrapped her arms around me but I didn't mind in the least.
"Edward," she muttered. I loved when she said my name in her sleep. I pushed a strand of hair that had fallen in her face behind her ear.
"Yes, love?"I whispered in her ear, barely above a whisper.
"I love you."
"I know, love. I love you, too." I watched her breathe in her sleep and then she rolled onto her back. I slid down and laid my head on her chest, listening to her lovely heartbeat. I sighed and stored the sound to memory. This was one of the many things I was going to miss when she was like me. That and her blushing whenever she was embarrassed, her tears that she used to express herself without words, the way her warm body felt in my arms, the list could go on for miles.
She stirred and I looked at the clock. I wished that I could call Alice to ask when she was going to wake up. I wanted to see what she had gotten me, but I also wanted her to sleep as long as she needed. We had both had a busy night, what with what had been on the agenda and all. I still couldn't believe that we had gotten married and made love twice yesterday. Maybe all of our days could be as enjoyable. Of course, I knew that they would be as long as Bella was by my side. Her heart was starting to change pace and I knew that she was moments from waking. Then I could talk to her again, hold her in my arms, and find out what she had gotten me.
She stretched and her eyes fluttered open. I loved looking into those gorgeous brown eyes. She looked into my eyes, searching for a kiss. I gave her what she wanted, enjoying being able to give it to her. "Morning, Mr. Cullen." she said sleepily.
"Morning, Mrs. Cullen," I said back to her, nipping the tip of her nose with my finger. She giggled and yawned. I chuckled and she smacked my arm, as she had done many times in the last few weeks. I rubbed my arm up and down, as if she had really done some damage. This resulted in her smacking me again. I pulled her into another kiss and she wrapped her arms around me. I was glad that I wouldn't have to worry about hurting her much longer. We rolled around on the bed for a few minutes and she ended up laying on top of me.
She laughed that lovely laugh that I loved so much and I couldn't help but smile at her. She was so gorgeous in the mornings. I wonder if I should tell her how crazy her hair looks... Nevermind, she doesn't care. I ran a hand through her disheveled hair and she did the same to me. She pushed herself up and I tried to hold onto her. She laughed and said, "Edward, you have to let me up. I need to have my human moment." Reluctantly, I granted her this but not before I stole another kiss from her gorgeous lips. I watched her close the door, grabbing her toothbrush from the small suitcase I had brought with us last night.
There was a knock at the door and I went to get it, grateful that I had thought to put on pajamas last night, well, this morning really. I opened the door and there was a small van at the end of the trail that led to the cabin door. The man at the door looked kind of surprised to see such a young man on his honeymoon and his thoughts matched his face. 'Such a young boy! I wasn't married until I was in my late twenties. Oh well, that's none of my business.'
He looked at me and asked if my last name was Cullen. When I told him that it was, he made a gesture to the van and I was told that our things were inside. He said, "I can just leave them here if you want, sir."
I shook my head and said, "No, that's all right. The Mrs. is making herself presentable. I can come and help you bring them inside if you like." He nodded his head quite agreeably. I grabbed my shoes off of the floor and followed the little man out to the van, glad for the tree coverage. Even though it was nine in the morning, no sun glinted off of my skin. He opened the door and I saw the amount of suitcases. This would have been hard for a human to carry by himself. I could have had everything in the cabin in a matter of seconds but I had to use my human speed. This was torture because I wanted to get back to my beautiful Bella. It took us almost ten minutes to get everything in where as it would have only taken me a matter of seconds.
I shook hands with the man and he left. I closed the door, turned to the luggage and saw what I was looking for. 'Edward's gift' was written on the box. I made my way to it, listening for sounds indicating Bella was finished in the bathroom and heard nothing. I was finally to the box when I heard, "If you know what's good for you, you'll step away from the box immediately." I smiled to myself, knowing that I had nothing to worry about. I stood up and turned to my wife. She was wearing nothing but a towel, her wet hair hanging around her face, leaning against the door frame.
I ran to her and pulled her into my arms. I held her face less than an inch from mine. "You are absolutely, without a doubt, the most beautiful woman on the face of this earth." She sighed and leaned her forehead against mine. I breathed in her face and she caught her breath. I chuckled and she laughed along. I captured her lips with mine and held her there until I heard her heart slow and knew that she needed air. When we pulled away, she leaned against the door frame again and I did the same opposite her. She looked at me through her long lashes and I couldn't resist. I picked her up, causing her to gasp and then to chuckle, and carried her to the bed. I held her in my arms and laid her down ever so gently, not forgetting how breakable she still was.
When her head met with the pillow, I covered us with the blanket and did away with the pesky towel. I lifted the blanket a little to examine my gorgeous wife. I caught my breath and she did the same. She tapped me on the shoulder and I turned to meet her big brown eyes.
"You, my dear husband, are still terribly over dressed." I laughed and sat up. I moved my hands to the top of my shirt and it was gone in less than a second. She laughed and I paused to look at her, then removed the lounge pants. Bella gasped when she noticed that I wasn't wearing any boxers liked I had been last night. I smiled that smile I knew that she loved so much and she opened her arms wide. I laid myself on top of her small, warm, and still fragile body. She shivered a bit and I didn't know if it was because of my body temperature or because of my sudden willingness to be intimate with her.
She reached her head up to mine and captured my lips with her own, wanting to do what we had done last night. I wanted to give into her but I also wanted to know what she had gotten for me. I stopped her and she looked like I had just rejected her. "No, love. I want to but, I want to know something first." Her face became still once again and I knew that she was listening. "I want to open the gift you got for me." She opened her mouth to speak but then closed it and attempted to push me off of her. I gave in and sat up. She sat up beside me, pulling the blanket to cover her beautiful body.
She stared at me for a moment before getting up and grabbing the towel. I had thought that I had made her angry at first but she went to the box and brought it back to the bed. She went to the floor and picked up the shirt she had been wearing yesterday and put it on before joining me on the bed. I waited until she was nice and comfortable before I leaned over and gave her a kiss on her cheek. She tried to hide the blush that soon followed but I still saw it. She picked up the box and sat it in my lap. I opened the top and pulled out a small C.D. case. It was wrapped in blue paper and I only knew what it was because nothing else was that size and shape. I heard her breathing hitch in her throat and turned to her. I stole another kiss at Vampire speed before she even knew that I had moved.
When she realized what had happened, she giggled and moved a hand to her cheek. I laughed and returned to opening my gift from my loving wife. I tore off the paper slowly and heard her heart rate increase slightly. When I turned it over, I saw what was written on the front and this time, my breathing caught in my throat. It said, 'Bella's Heart' and I swear that if Vampires could cry or faint, I would have done both. That's why she had needed to talk to Carlisle, that's why she wanted everyone to keep it a secret. This time, I was glad that I couldn't read her mind.
I turned to her and pulled her into the tightest hug I could manage without hurting her. "I'm glad you like it." Then she laughed. I pulled out of the hug to run to the C.D. player I had made sure was in the room. Alice had told me that Bella wanted to to learn to dance and that I would need it. I put the C.D. in and pressed play. The room was filled with one of my favourite sounds in the world. It was just below Bella's voice and her laugh. I went back to the bed and pulled her into my arms. I looked at the box on the floor to reassure myself that there was plenty of morphine. I found her lips with my own by kissing every inch of her gorgeous face. She laughed against my lips as I tickled her back with my fingertips.
I laid her back onto the bed again, making sure that she was comfortable. She was flat and I laid myself on top of her, making sure to be as cautious as ever. She ran her fingers through my hair and I purred against her neck. I smiled when she shivered at the feel of it on her skin. We rolled around for a little while before I couldn't take it any more. I stopped, making sure that she was hovering over me. "Bella," I said softly.
"Yes, Edward?" she said this and smiled.
It was now or never. "Are you ready?" I think I confused her a bit.
"Edward, I thought we went through this last night. After we... made love twice, I figured that we would be past this mile-stone." I held her face firmly, yet gently, between my hands so that she couldn't turn away from me. I wanted to have her complete attention.
"No, Bella. What I meant by that was, are you ready to be like me?"
Bella P.O.V.
I was about to take a shower and heard a knoxk at the door. I didn't really care who it was so I stepped into the hot, steamy shower. It felt good after last night. I still couldn't believe that Edward and I had gotten married and made love twice yesterday. I was surprised that Edward had let us go that far in one night. Now, we just had to get past the only thing that was keeping us from being together forever. I let the hot water run over me and then realized that I didn't have any shampoo. I was about to get out but then noticed the small bottle of strawberry shampoo in the corner of the shower. It was one of those glass, square showers and I was wanting Edward to come and join me. I ran the shampoo through my hair, making sure to enjoy it while wanting to get out quickly because Edward was most likely going to try and get a peek at his gift.
I was just getting out when I heard a car drive away and looked out of the small bathroom window to see a white van driving down the small road. I wrapped the towel around me and noticed how quiet it had gotten. Maybe Edward was listening for me. I stood as still as I could and then made my way to the door. My suspicions had been correct. Edward was leaning over the box that contained his gift. I leaned against the door frame and crossed my arms over my chest before saying, "If you know what's good for you, you'll step away from the box immediately." I had to smile at him. He paused before standing.
He turned and stared at me for the briefest of moments before running to me at human speed. My hair was hanging in my face and he held my face less than an inch from his own before saying, "You are without a doubt, the most beautiful woman on the face of this earth."I sighed and leaned my forehead against his before he breathed his sweet breath in my face, making me catch my own breath. He chuckled and I laughed along. He captured my lips with his and held me there until my heart slowed and he knew that I needed air.
When we pulled away, I leaned against the door frame again and he did the same opposite me. I looked at him through my long lashes and he picked me up, causing me to gasp and then to chuckle, and carried me to the bed. He held me in his arms and laid me down ever so gently, not forgetting how breakable I still was.When my head met with the pillow, he covered us with the blanket and did away with the pesky towel. He lifted the blanket a little to examine me. He caught his breath and I did the same. I tapped him on the shoulder and he turned to stare into my eyes.
"You, my dear husband, are still terribly over dressed." He laughed and sat up. He moved his hands to the top of his shirt and it was gone in less than a second. I laughed and he paused to look at me, then removed the lounge pants. I gasped because he wasn't wearing boxers like he had been last night. He smiled that favourite crooked smile that I loved so much and I opened my arms wide, welcoming him.
I shivered a bit and I didn't know if it was because of his body temperature or because of his sudden willingness to be intimate with me. I reached my head up to capture his lips with my own, wanting to do what we had done last night. He gave in at first but then stopped. I felt like I had been slightly rejected. He looked at my face and told me why he had stopped. "No, love. I want to but, I want to know something first." My face became still and he must have known that I was listening. "I want to open the gift you got for me." I opened my mouth to speak but then closed it and attempted to push him off of me. He gave in and sat up. I sat up beside him, pulling the blanket to cover my body.
I stared at him for a moment before getting up and grabbing the towel. I went to the box containing his gift and brought it back to the bed. Then I went and picked up the shirt I had worn yesterday because A) I didn't know where my other clothes were and B) I wanted to put some clothes on. He waited until I was nice and comfy before he leaned over and gave me a quick peck on the cheek. I blushed and tried to hide it, knowing the whole time that he had seen it.
I picked up the box and sat it in his lap. He opened the top and pulled out the C.D. case. My breathing caught in my throat as he examined the gift. There was no way to not know what it was because nothing else was that shape and size. I had wrapped it in blue because that was his favourite colour. I was too distracted and didn't even notice when he gave me a kiss at Vampire speed. When I realized what had happened, I giggled like a giddy school girl and moved a hand to my cheek.
He laughed and then opened his gift slowly, making my heart increase, which I was sure he heard. He turned it over and I heard his breathing hitch in his throat for a change. I was glad that I could have that effect on him. I was glad that everyone had managed to keep this a secret and this was one of the many times that I was glad he couldn't read my mind. He quickly pulled me into one of the tightest hugs I had ever been given from him. "Glad you like it," I said this and laughed. He pulled out of the hug and ran to the C.D. player I hadn't even noticed earlier. Maybe Alice had told him about me wanting to learn to dance to modern music. I guess we had both been a little preoccupied.
He put in the C.D., pressed play, and the room was filled with the beating of my heart. It felt weird to hear my own heartbeat reasonate around a room. He came back to the bed and pulled me into his arms. I think that I saw him look at the box on the floor before kissing every inch of my face and finding his way to my lips. He tickled my back with the tips of his fingers and I laughed against his lips. He laid me back onto the bed again, making sure that I was comfortable. I was flat and he laid himself on top of me, making sure to be as cautious as ever. I ran my fingers through his hair and he purred against my neck. I felt him smile when I shivered at the feel of it on my skin. We rolled around for a little while before I couldn't take it any more. He stopped, making sure that I was hovering over him. "Bella," he said softly.
"Yes, Edward?" I said this and smiled.
He paused."Are you ready?" He confused me a bit right then.
"Edward, I thought we went through this last night. After we... made love twice, I figured that we would be past this mile-stone." It was kinda weird to say those two words out loud. He held my face firmly, yet gently, between his hands so that I couldn't turn away from him. He wanted to have my complete attention.
"No, Bella. What I meant by that was, are you ready to be like me?"
I couldn't believe what I was hearing! He wanted to do this now? I wanted to do it too but I didn't think that he would agree to do it this soon. I was speechless for a minute or two before I could give him my response.
"Yes, always and forever," I managed in a whisper before he captured my lips with his own and turned us over. He was laying on top of me and I knew what he was going to do. He just wanted permission. He pulled awaay and looked into my eyes, I nodded and he entered me. It wasn't as bad as last night and I was grateful that we had gotten past that point then. Now we could move on, could make it official. He was slow and gentle, making sure that I was doing ok. I wrapped my legs around him, holding him closer to me. This was the last time that I would do this as a human and I couldn't think of a more pleasant way to go. "Where do... you want... your mark?" he managed between thrusts.
It took me a moment to respond. "Where... ever... your's... is," I managed between his thrusts and my ragged breathing. He paused and looked me in the eyes. He saw the desire, the want, the need behind them and I braced myself. He made his way to my neck and I moved my head to give him better access. He began thrusting again and I felt his teeth graze across my skin. As I felt his teeth break through the left side of my neck, I cried out in both pain and esctatsy and felt that great feeling between my legs and he was still, making me believe that he had reached that point, too. Now he had to concentrate on not killing me.
I could slightly feel the pull of my blood and the injection of the venom. I held to him for strength, not wanting him to see the pain in my eyes. It wasn't as bad as last night, but it still hurt. I felt him withdraw from me, in both places, and saw him dart across the room. The needle was in my arm before I could feel any more pain. He injected some more morphine into each of my legs and in my other arm. I could feel the pain subsiding and looked for him. He was at my side, knowing what I wanted. He gave me the kiss that I had been searching for.
He stayed by me side, holding my hand almost the whole time. If I would even wince a bit, he was at my side with another needle. I never felt more than a twinge of pain. Occasionally, he would give me a kiss, letting me know that I wasn't alone. I could actually feel the venom mixing with my blood. Whenever my heart would beat, I could feel it pulse against my skin, slowing every hour or so. I could tell when my hearing increased and could hear my own heartbeat. I knew that it was my real one and not the one on the C.D. because Edward had turned off the C.D. player. I was slipping in out of conciousness for two days and then I knew that I was almost there. As I started to fade out a bit, into the sleep that I knew was coming, I heard Edward say in my ear, "I love you, my Bella. See you when you wake." I felt his cold lips press against my forehead and then fell into my long and final sleep.
Back to Edward
I was relieved to know that I could do this on my own. I should have as much faith in myself as Carlisle and Bella. They always believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. I stayed by Bella's side, only leaving to get another needle of the morphine when she needed it. I watched as she would fade in and out of consiousness, waiting for her to fall into her last sleep. I would kiss her in various places of her skin, letting her know that she wasn't alone. I watched as she laid there, almost paralyzed with painkillers. As the end of the second day neared, I knew that she would soon be sleeping for the last time.
I made sure to let her know that I would be waiting for her by whispering, "I love you, my Bella. See you when you wake," and kissing her forehead.
When her eyes closed and her body relaxed, I laid down and pulled her against me, holding her in my arms and listening to her heart stop. I felt as her body temperature decreased until it almost matched my own. When I felt her go limp in my arms, I knew that she would soon awaken from her long and last slumber. Only, she didn't wake after three days of the minute pain I had allowed and the long sleep. I began to panic, wondering if I had killed the only woman I would ever love. I laid her gently on the bed, careful not to hurt her anymore than I already had.
I was up and pacing before I could think of anything else to do. I had to clear my head. Had I given her too many drugs, too much venom? Did I do something wrong? What had happened? I had to talk to Carlisle immediately. I ran out and hunted to take off some of the edge before I spoke with my father. I found some suitable sources and fed until I was sure that I wouldn't sound too hysterical on the phone. I ran back to the cabin, careful not to be seen by anyone.
When I got to the cabin, I slid in the door and closed it carefully, otherwise, I would have slammed it shut. I walked over to where I had left my phone to charge and saw that I had a missed call. It was from Alice and the voicemail she left simply told me to call her back as soon as possible. I picked up the small device carefully, so as not to crush it. I dialed the number for my father, knowing that he would be at the hospital. He answered formally with," Dr. Carlisle Cullen. How can I help you today?" I skipped the formalities.
"Carlisle, it's Edward. Something went wrong. I don't know what happened but... I think that I killed her." My voice broke at the end. My father paused before answering me.
Hts voice was different from normal, it had the tone that he had had when James had started to track Bella and he needed to be in control. "Edward, hold on a minute. Let me get Alice on three- way." I paused while he got my sister on the other line. I kept looking at Bella, trying to will her to wake. When I heard my sister's voice on the other line, I let out a sigh of relief. She had to know what was going to happen
"Edward, don't worry. Bella is not dead, she's just taking longer to change. You know how different she is and that her mind works differently than others. Just give her an extra day or two," she said. I breathed out the breath that I hadn't even known I'd been holding. She wasn't dead, she was going to be ok.
"Thanks, Alice. I really thought..."
"No problem. She's my little sister now, I have to look out for her. Make sure to give her a hug for me when she wakes up." She giggled and hung up the phone. I heard the chuckle of my father on the other line.
"See, Edward? Nothing to worry about, Bella's going to be ok. Just make sure to be gentle with her because she's a newborn and needs you there. Just wait until you think she's ready to travel before you even think about bringing her home. I'll see you both when you get home." He hung up the phone and I went to Bella's side. I took my place at her side and wrapped my arms around her waist. I noticed that her stomach was a bit warmer than the rest of her. I found that odd and disregarded it by snuggling up to her body. I hid my face in her hair and took in her scent.
I laid there for a long time, pondering our future together. I watched the sun go down and then come back up. I only got out of bed to get Bella some clothes and to turn on the C.D. she had gotten me, because I already missed everything about her. I wanted her to wake up so that I could hear her voice and her laugh. I knew that her gorgeous brown eyes would be gone when she opened them and they would be replaced by red ones. Her stomach was still a bit warmer than the rest of her body but I didn't think that it made any difference.
I dressed her and made sure to be careful with her. I knew how unstable a newborn could be and I didn't want to risk her waking up and attacking me by mistake. When she was dressed, I put on some clothes of my own and put away the rest of ours, not knowing exactly how long we would be here. I watched her sleep and went to her side as the sun started to go down. I wrapped my self around her, wanting to hear her voice again. I looked at the clock some time later and it was almost two in the morning. Maybe she would wake soon.
I was about to go out and hunt again to get rid of some of the angst when I heard the best sound in the world. "Edward," she muttered, barely loud enough for me to hear. I ran to her side and pulled her into my arms. I held her there, waiting for her to speak again. "Edward, I love you," she whispered in my ear.
"I know, love. I love you, too. I've missed you so much these last few days." I managed to pull away from her and she pulled me into a kiss. I tried to pull away but her newborn strength held me to her. I loved being able to hold her this tightly and not have to worry about hurting her anymore. I was glad when she pulled away to take the air that she was so used to breathing. She needed to feed, and soon.
"Edward, I was so scared. Believe it or not, I dreamed that I was actually asleep and that you weren't going to be here when I woke up. Then, you came back and I was so happy. You held me in your arms like you never had before. Then, Jacob came and you killed him. You couldn't live with that and then you left again. I just couldn't wait to wake up and see your face again." She clung to me and I held her to me. I had to get some blood in her.
"Bella, I felt the same way. I wanted you to wake up so badly. I wanted to hear your voice and your laugh."
"How long did it take? Was it the full three days?"
"It actually took you an extra day. You slept for two days rather than one. Now, we really need to get you fed." I finally looked in her eyes and saw the darkness of them. I grabbed her before she could object and ran with her into the woods that surrounded the cabin. I sat her on a rock and looked into her eyes again. "Bella, you have to eat before something happens. Do you understand?" She nodded and I stood up, holding her hand to make sure that she stood with me.
"I don't know how to..." she started. I took her face into my hands and held her there, understanding what she meant. I kissed her forehead again, then each of her cheeks, and finally, her newly plumped lips.
"I know how hard it is your first time, so I'm going to let you watch. I know how out of place it will be for you to see me attack an animal but that's the only way I can think of to let you see how to do it. Is that ok?" She took hold of my eyes with her own, nodding to show that she understood. I sat her back down and waited for the poor animal to come out into the open. I took one quick look at her and pounced. I sank my teeth into it's side and drank, watching Bella the whole time. She had taken a deep breath when she had seen me pounce and I knew that was coming. I stood up and walked to her. It was her turn.
Return to Bella (I know, I keep going back and forth, but it's worth it!)
I woke up for the last time and said the first word that came to mind. "Edward." He was at my side in a flash and this time, I actually saw him and not a blur. He held me for a timeless minute and I realized that all of our moments were timeless now. "Edward, I love you," I whispered in his ear.
"I know, love. I love you, too. I've missed you so much these last few days." He pulled away from me but I pulled him back to me and into a kiss. I was surprised that I could actually hold him to me. Eventually, I had to pull away to breathe. I knew it wasn't necessary but I still wasn't used to not breathing.
"Edward, I was so scared. Believe it or not, I dreamed that I was actually asleep and that you weren't going to be here when I woke up. Then, you came back and I was so happy. You held me in your arms like you never had before. Then, Jacob came and you killed him. You couldn't live with that and then you left again. I just couldn't wait to wake up and see your face again." I looked up at him and had to ask. I had been vaguely aware that I was dreaming but I still kept in mind that Edward was near and that he wasn't leaving me.
"Bella, I felt the same way. I wanted you to wake up so badly. I wanted to hear your voice and your laugh. "
"How long did it take? Was it the full three days?"
"It actually took you an extra day. You slept for two days rather than one. Now, we really need to get you fed." He looked me in the eyes, picked me up and ran into the woods surrounding the cabin. He sat me on a rock, looked me in the eyes, and for once, my heart didn't skip a beat. I guess that was kinda impossible now. "Bella, you have to eat before something happens. Do you understand?"
"I don't know how to..." I started. He took my face into his hands and held it there. He obviously understood what I meant. He kissed my forehead and I closed my eyes, finally realizing that he wasn't as cold as he usually was. I opened my eyes and met his gorgeous topaz eyes and knew that he must have hunted recently. I wondered what my eyes looked like.
"I know how hard it is your first time, so I'm going to let you watch. I know how out of place it will be for you to see me attack an animal but that's the only way I can think of to let you see how to do it. Is that ok?" I took hold of his eyes with his own and nodded to show that I understood. He sat me back down and waited for the poor animal to come out into the open. I saw him take a quick look at me and then pounced on the poor animal. I gasped when I saw him. This was the first time he had ever allowed me to see him hunt. When I had first asked him if I could watch, he had told me that it would be hard for him because all of his instincts kicked in but now he had nothing to worry about.
He stood up and walked to me. It was my turn. I got up and he helped me get into a position that would help me get a better advantage on pouncing. I waited until he told me to go and then I did my best attempt at pouncing on the poor deer. I waited until he nodded to sink my teeth into its side as he had done only moments before. I hadn't even realized that the thirst was there earlier and now, it took over. I drank for a little bit but as sudden as the thirst had appeared, it was gone. I felt sick to my stomach and I pulled away from it. Edward was by my side before I even knew I was on the ground.
He held me close to him. "Bella, what's the matter? Are you ok?" I nodded and looked at his lovely face.
"I guess that I'm just not used to it. It might be because I still have an adversion to blood." He nodded to show that he agreed. I held to my stomach and he wrapped his arms around mine. I noticed that it was warmer than the rest of me. "Edward, why is my stomach still so warm? Was your's that way when you were first changed?" I turned to face him and he seemed relieved when he looked in my eyes.
"I don't know, Bella. I think that we need to talk to Carlisle when we get home. But he said to make sure that I thought you were ready to travel before I brought you home. Only Alice, Carlisle, and Esme know that you've been changed. When we get home, we only have two days before we have to leave. Are you ready to go back to the cabin?" I nodded my head and stood up, Edward holding me the whole time. We laid down on the bed and I pulled him into another kiss, still not believing that this was really happening. We laid there for a while just holding one another before I turned to him. He knew what I wanted but I knew that he was hesitant to give it to me.
"Bella, I don't know if we should. You've only been this way for an hour. Are you sure that you really want to that you want so this?" I pulled him into another kiss and held him there, showing him that I was sure. He gave in and wrapped his arms even tighter around me, pulling me to him. I rolled us over so that I was on top of him and pulled off the shirt he had put on me while I slept. I noticed that he hadn't bothered to put a bra on me and his eyes went wide at the sight. I leaned down to him and pulled him into a sitting position. I tugged at the bottom of his shirt and he lifted his arms, allowing me to pull the shirt over his head. I marveled at his gorgeous chest and ran my fingers over his abs. He pulled me to him and into a deep, passionate kiss. I ran my fingers through his hair as I usually did and he growled deep in his throat.
He rolled us and pulled away from me, making me want him even more. I pouted to show him just how much and he chuckled before leaning back down and capturing my lips with his own. I ran my fingers up and down his back, making him purr again. I laughed against his lips and he rolled us to our sides. He ran his fingers up and down my back making me laugh on the inside and he stopped and pulled away from me.
"Bell, do you know what you just did?"
What was he talking about? "No, what are you talking about, Edward?"
He smiled. "You just purred." What?!
"I just... purred? Are you kidding me?" He smiled again and then pressed his lips to mine again. I couldn't believe that I had already done that. I guess that I was in store for more surprises as his wife. I was glad that he was ok with us doing this. He rolled us again and then entered me without hesitation. I was glad that he was this comfortable with me and my transformation. My first time with him as a vampire was unbelievable. He was a little faster with his movements, but still made sure to be gentle with me. I knew that this was going to be one of the best, no, make that the best, decision of my life. As we both came back to our Heaven on Earth, we held each other close, whispering sweet nothings into one another's ears. We laid there until the sun came up and then he turned and gave me a big hug, the kind Alice would give.
"What was that for?" I asked him, rubbing my nose against his jawline.
"I called Carlisle when you didn't wake up right away and he put Alice on three- way. She said to give you a hug for her and I didn't want her mad at me because I forgot earlier. I was just so happy that I hadn't killed you. I love you, Bella."
I laughed at the thought of our sister ordering Edward around. "Yes, that does sound like Alice. And, I love you, too, Edward." With that, he started humming my lullaby and we held each other for a few more hours. --
Additional Author's Note: Hey guys! Ok- officially my longest chapter ever! Sorry for the wait but I had final exams this week and I was really busy. In case you guys don't already know, Bella's lullaby is going to be in the movie and Robert Pattinsion (Edward) is writing it! He was actually a musican in the U.K. before he was an actor. Don't forget to submit your ideas of titles for the next installment in this series. It would be greatly appreciated!! Now: REVIEW!!
