I do not own the Cullen's or any character in Twilight they are the possession of Stephenie Meyer.

Hi guys, sorry for the late update but first school got in the way and then my computer was infected by a mean virus *heavy sigh*

Anyway now everything is peachy again and the new chappie could be saved *thank god*.

Have fun!!! =)

Anna's POV:

I was lying in my bed next to my personal air conditioner who was holding me security in his arms while I breathed in his sweet scent. Honestly, I could have spent the rest of eternity this way.

Edward chuckled lightly and I felt his lips brush over my hair, placing soft kisses on my head. I was still half asleep and not ready yet to open my eyes when suddenly a pitiful yowl startled me.

I opened my eyes immediately and sat up straight on the soft mattress.

"What was that?" I asked Edward who mirrored my actions.

He chuckled lightly before answering.

"That was Sparks."

"What's happening to him? Is he sick?" I asked concerned for the wellbeing of my pup.

Edward shook his head amused.

"No, he is fine….. well at least still." His lips twitched into a mysterious smile.

I raised an eyebrow at him, demanding for the whole story.

"Thomas and Emmett were outside with him and got him dirty."

I gave him a look because that did not explain why he was pitifully yowling.

"Esme and Rose are bathing him right now and he doesn't really appreciate it, it seems." Edward chuckled lightly in great amusement at Sparks discomfort.

"Why he is a water rat. He loves it to be bathed." I wondered because that dog could spend hours in the water if one would let him.

Edward chuckled again.

"What?" I raised an eye brow at him, again.

"Maybe it's because he knows what is waiting for him after the bath." He offered.

"And that would be," I urged him on.

"Rose ordered some dog clothes for him and after he is bathed and dried he is going to wear them."

Sparks must have sensed the danger somehow. I don't know how he did it but somehow he always knew when it was time to hide or make a run for it.

Almost always.

"He always been a smart dog but apparently not smart enough to run from Rose. That happens when you guys don't use your brain to think. All it takes is a beautiful maiden and every male turns into a puddle of goo." I shook my head dramatically.

"Really your poor dog is being emasculated and you thing that is funny?" Edward asked in mocked horror.

"At least he is now joining the rest of the males in the house." I answered cheeky.

Edward's jaw hit the ground and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. He couldn't believe I just said that.

"Am I wrong?" I asked sweetly and looking with pure innocence in my eyes at him.

My Vampire growled lightly and pouted at me. He could be so adorable.

I sat up on my knees and took his face in my hands, making him look at me. I felt compelled to drive some vital points home. I wasn't the little girl from Chicago anymore that he read about in his diaries. My illness, my death and everything after that changed me, made me grow up fast and find myself.

He needed to know that he was dealing with an independent and strong-minded woman and not a love sick teenager.

Almost instantly after my skin came in contact with Edward's cheeks he leaned into my touch while my thumbs were brushing over his cheekbones.

"I love you Edward." I said before I placed a sweet and loving kiss on his cool lips.

After pulling away from him I looked intensely into his eyes.

"I'm pigheaded and I can be very obstinate if I want to be, besides I have my own mind. I do love you more then words could ever tell but that doesn't mean I will not kick your well build backside when you deserve it." I told him in a serious voice.

"I'm not and I repeat. I'm not a groupie. I just want you to know what you got yourself into."

He pulled me closer to his body before placing me into his lap and nuzzling his face in my neck.

"I know and I love you just the way you are."

"How do you know how I am?" I asked him and he pulled away from my neck. Puzzlement was swimming in his eyes.

"Edward it's been over a year since we last saw each other. Well for me at least for you much longer. I have changed since then. Grown up. And so did you." I informed him.

"I know that but I also know that you are still the strong, beautiful, level-headed, honest, caring and wise beyond your age girl that I fell in love with the first time around." He stated in a serious voice.

"The first time around?" I was confused.

"Yeah," he nodded with a playful and proud smile on his.

"During our conversation on the plane that was when I fell in love with you all over again before I knew who you were." Edward admitted.

I sighed contently, touched by his words.

Edward let his hand that was on my hip wander up to trace my mouth with his thumb. I dropped a kiss on it when his thumb arrived in the middle of my lips and placed my forehead against his when his hand fell back to my hip.

"There was and is only you." He whispered.

I bit my bottom lip, pulled away from him a little and brushed his hair behind his ear, gazing at his features.

"Listen I'm not saying that it always will be easy. I do know that despite how much we love each other that we must get to know each other and find a common ground in our relationship." Edward stated serious again.

"But I know with all that I am that no matter what we can make it." His stare was burning into my eyes demanding from me to understand.

I must admit I was more then just smitten with this new version of Edward. The more I discovered about him the deeper I was falling in love with him.

"I will never let go of you again. Never!" He vowed fiercely.

"What am I going to do with you?

"Love me." He whispered before capturing my lips with his.

He pressed me into the mattress and we made out for quite a while before he broke the kiss giving me a chance to catch some desperately needed air, only to assault my neck with his lips instead.

"So what do you want to do today besides lying in bed with me?" I asked when my breathing returned to normal.

Edward was hovering above me his body deliciously pressed against mine but he held almost all of his body weight on his arms.

"We could stay in bed." He offered with a devious smile.

"Yes, we could." I agreed.

"Or I could take you out."

"A date." I blurted the words out without thinking.

His eyes lit up at that prospect. He bent down and peeked at my lips lightly with his.

"Would," kiss, "you," kiss, "do," kiss, "me," kiss," the," kiss, "honour," kiss, "of," kiss, "going," kiss, "on," kiss, "a date," kiss, "with me?" Kiss.

"It'll be my pleasure." I answered giggling.

*****

We spent the entire morning until noon in bed being playful and carefree with each other. As it was time for lunch Edward excused himself, telling me he had some arrangements to take care of and I got to spend some time with Esme.

"He loves you so much my dear, always has." She told me as we stood together in the big, luxury kitchen cooking turkey and rice. This kitchen was every cooks dream. Next to my bed this was my favourite place in the house.

A huge smile arose on my lips.

"Thank you for making Edward happy and thank you for Thomas." She said in an emotional voice. She would have been crying if it was possible for a Vampire to do so.

"Um-hum," I shook my head.

"Don't thank me for that. I'm just happy that everything turned out well and besides Carlisle did most of the work. I just wrote a letter."

"And that made all the difference." She smiled.

I sighed softly, smiled at her and nodded before we returned to our lightly chatter while preparing the food.

As it was getting closer to the time Edward would get me for our first date I went into my room. I was wondering what he had planned for the two of us.

Our approaching date made me think back to our time in Chicago, our walks in the Portage Park, the music store where he played for me for the first time and of cause the beautiful, hidden alley.

I smiled to myself when I reached out and opened the door, looking up I found bouquets of red roses standing on every flat surface in my room.

I inhaled the sweet scent and smiled at the beautiful sight in front of me. Gazing around the room the gift boxes that were sitting on my bed caught my eye. There were four in total, all of them in different size and shades of blue. I walked over to my bed and picked of the card that was attached to the box on the top.

It read:

*

Just a little something to show you how much I appreciate the chance of being able to spoil you tonight.

I hope you will like what I have chosen for you. With the help of my mother and sister of cause.

With all my heart, soul and love,

your Edward.

Always have been and always be.

*

I giggled like a little girl when I read the card. Partly that was all really cheesy and I felt like I was the female protagonist of some Hollywood-teens-in-love-movie but I joined it nonetheless.

I opened the biggest box and lifted the delicate fabrics out of it's confines. It was a night blue, long dress that would be showing off my cleavage. It would be pronouncing my waistline and it had a slit up dangerously high on the right side.

In the other boxes were silver heels, a purse, a jacket and other accessories. I loved it all.

After opening all boxes I heard a soft knock on my door.

"Come in."

Esme stepped inside followed by Rose who had also a few boxes in her hands.

"What's that?" I asked curious.

"We are getting ready for our dates." Rose answered excited.

We were gushing and giggling the whole time, telling us stories about our brothers and conspiring against them. A girl has to know how to handle her man!

As we were finished dressing up I looked at Rose and knew immediately where Emmett was taking her.

"Monster truck?"

"Yeah, the show has been sold out for weeks. I don't know how he even got the tickets." She giggled excited. She was the type of girl who preferred a car show then to a fashion show each day.

"Emmett has his ways when it comes to Monster trucks." I laughed, happy that he had finally found another victim to drag to those. The first time around it was interesting because it was new but then………Let's just say there is not so much trucker girl in me despite Emmett's best efforts.

"You two look beautiful. My two little girls." Esme suddenly got all emotional.

Rose and I exchanged a look and went over to her and gave Esme a hug. After pulling herself together Esme declared that it was time our other half's had the honour to see us.

Edward's POV:

"You are going to run a hole into Esme's rug." Emmett laughed as I was anxiously pacing up and down the living room.

I halted my movements and looked over at him. He sat on one of the loveseats and on the outside looked like the personified calm but one look into his mind and I saw that he was just as nervous as I was.

"I just buy her a new one." I responded and went on with my pacing.

"Yeah," Emmett chuckled nervously before exhaling heavily.

I was about to go up there and look what was taking them so long when I finally heard them coming down the stairs. It had been torture not to be able to see my Anna because Esme and Rose were blocking their thoughts.

I went into the hallway with Emmett hot on my heels, looking up I saw the most beautiful sight walking down the stairs.

The blue of the dress that Rose chose for my mate looked amazing on her and the cut was bringing out the delicious curves of her body.

"You are beyond beautiful." I whispered as I reached for her hand when she took the last step.

"I can only give back the compliment." She smiled.

"You just have to let me do a few shots." Esme pleaded while holding a camera pressed to her chest, smiling like a kid in a candy store.

Of cause I was more then happy to oblige and so were Anna, Rose and Emmett. After we took the photos it was time for us to take off.

"Have a nice time." Esme wished us all as I led my mate to the vanquish.

"You are laying on thick." My love giggled.

"That's nothing." I whispered against her skin as I kissed her temple.

"Surprise me," my love challenged as I held the car door open for her.

"I will," I assured.

Arriving at our destination Anna gasped when she saw where we were.

"Edward what is this?" Amazement was lacing her voice.

"This is the biggest conservatory in the area of Seattle. A millionaire build it. It contains several areas with animals and different plants. It is a huge tropical garden. It can be rented out for events." I informed her.

"And we have dinner there?"

"Yes," I nodded.

"You are crazy," she whispered still gazing at the sight in front of her in amazement before looking at me and admitting. "I love it."

"I'm glad," I breathed out a sigh of relief.

I helped her out of the car and we made our way inside. Anna was fascinated by all the exotic plants and colourful birds flying around. I was more then happy to explain everything to her.

"Oh Edward that is beautiful." She said as she spotted our table that was set in the middle of a bridge, near a waterfall. In the calm water under the bride a sea of red and white gerbera was swimming, creating the perfect atmosphere together the relaxing green that surrounded us which was decorated with little, sparkling lights.

"Only the best for you my love." I breathed as I bend down to kiss her cheek.

"Before the dinner starts, I have something for you."

"There's more?!" She looked surprise and excited.

I pulled out the blue Tiffany box from my pants pocket, holding it out to her.

"Tiffany?! This is really too much but thank you. I just can't resist a gift." She admitted.

"I'm glad because I'm fully intending on spoiling you."

"You don't need to you know. I love for who you are and not for what you can afford to buy me."

"I know my love but I love buying you things. It brings me pleasure to see that beautiful sparkle in your eyes." I told her as I brushed my fingers through her soft hair.

Anna had no idea yet but I would spoil her rotten. I only hoped she wouldn't put her foot down on this. I really loved to get her gifts.

She sighed happily, shaking her had.

"You are leaving me completely speechless over here." She pouted adorably.

"Good." I chuckled. "Now open the present."

She nodded and tugged on the bow of the little box and gasped.

"The necklace is beautiful Edward." She beamed as she lifted the platinum chain with the music note as pendant out of the box. The music note was a symbol for our past. With my lost music sheet everything started for us.

"May I?" I asked and she handed me the necklace to put it around her delicate neck.

Anna turned around and smiled at me while she touched the pendant carefully with her fingertips. The meaning of the necklace wasn't lost on her. I was very pleased to notice that.

"It's perfect." She whispered and I nodded, losing the battle for words.

We sat down on the table and a waiter appeared bringing us something to drink.

"What's on the menu?" Anna asked.

"I heard from Emmett that you like it spicy."

"That's correct," she nodded.

"Then lets see what the chef will create."

"You really know how to do this. I can't believe you never gone out with a girl before."

"Mind reader." I tipped against my temple.

My love laughed at that.

"Lucky you."

"Yes, very lucky me." My voice was sarcastic. The mind reading had it's benefits but also many downsides at least until I learned to control it.

"You know one year ago. I would have felt a little bit uncomfortable here with all of this, coming from a middle class family." She confessed.

"What changed?" I asked curious.

"Emmett. He was taking me out to the fanciest restraints and on trips. First I complained that he was spending so much money on me but…….lets just say for a guy he can nag like an old lady and with time I got used to the luxury."

"Good to know. That means I can give you as much surprises and gifts as I like to?" I pressed.

"As long as it makes you happy."

"Very much." Just then the waiter came back with our food as the orchestra began to play the tunes of the theme of Titanic. Emmett told me how she had tortured him with that movie and that the theme melodies were one of her favourite pieces.

My love turned around to see the twenty man strong group. She just looked incredulous at me, shook her head and a loving smile appeared on her sweet lips.

After she had finished her dinner we had a light talk until the mood was right for a little dancing.

"Would you do me the honour?" I asked as I stood in front of her holding my hand out for her to join me.

"Of cause. I would love to." She smiled at me.

We went off the bridge and swayed in the space that was assigned to be the dancing ground for tonight.

"The evening is beautiful Edward, thank you." She told me, looking into my eyes.

"I'm glad you like it." I breathed and she placed her head on my shoulder.

We were swaying to the soft music just enjoying the company of one another and the feel of your bodies this close together. Being this close together certain thoughts entered my mind.

After years of feeling like I was being caught in a free fall I wanted to have solid ground under my feet. Anna gave me that the moment she returned into my life but I was a Vampire an entirely greedy creature. I needed more.

I needed to know the direction our relationship would take. Living in the moment was not enough for me. Now that I had her I want it all, living for the moment and forever or as long she would chose to exist.

Maybe I should have just enjoyed the moment but I had been living in uncertain and denial for several decades, lying to myself that Anna was nothing more then a teenage crush, a good friend, only my first love from my human life.

I had to release the question that was burning on the tip of my tongue preferably before I exploded. I needed to know how long I was graced with this blessing.

"I know it is a little early……….. to ask this but…………..but I just can't help myself." I nearly stumbled over my words.

"Give it a shot." She encouraged me, pulling back a little and gazing directly into my eyes with a warm smile on her seductive lips.

Nervous butterflies were inflicting a hurricane in my stomach. In this moment I felt insecure and more human then I ever had, then I could ever remember. Nearly nothing could hurt me physically but her rejection carried the power to erase my existence of the surface of the planet.

Nonetheless I had to know.

Of cause I was aware of the fact that I was asking for a lot at this point of time. We were only reunited for a few days and I already needed a promise of forever.

If she chose to stay human I would also stay be her side there was no question about it but having Esme and Carlisle as paragons I wanted that for Anna and myself.

I knew that Esme was happy. She had never regretted that Carlisle had changed her, even though she could have had a normal life.

Of cause it would be entirely Anna's decision and her choice to make. I was going to hold myself back completely and go along with whatever made her happy but I had to know if our bliss would last only years or eternity.

Keeping the little pixie of my back would be a hard piece of work if my Anna didn't chose the later.

With a last deep breath, of her delicious scent, taken in and intensely gazing into her sparkling hazel pools, the words that would define the rest of my life left my mouth.

"Would you please do me the honour of staying forever at my side?"

She stopped moving then and held her breath. I wasn't sure if she noticed that she wasn't breathing but I did notice how utterly lost and vulnerable I was in this moment.

On the outside my Anna could only see my poker face. It didn't waver, it never did. I was by far the best at masking emotions in our family.

I observed her face thoroughly not a single one of her emotion escaped my searching eyes but she gave away only a little. First I she seemed to be in shock or just taken by surprise and then she went to gazing instantly into my eyes.

A thick lump built in my throat and I had to swallow hard. The seconds that ticked by felt like small eternities in which I was a man in the desert deprived of the blessing of having the lifesaving liquid despite the fact of it being right within my reach.

I felt my body begin to tremble with the suspense. Never in my life did I feel this helpless and at the mercy of somebody else as now.

"Forever as in …….Vampire?" My love asked confused finally breaking the tension that had my being captured.

"If that will be your choice." I answered guarded, needing her to make the decision for herself.

She took a moment and in her eyes I could see that she was mulling my proposal over.

"You don't have to make the decision now we have time." I assured her.

She shook her head fiercely.

"No, you got it all wrong." She laughed.

I gave her a puzzled look. Anna giggled.

"I was just surprised that you would bring that up since the book you…." She cut herself off, shaking her head.

"I'm working on that." Guess it would take a while till she stopped comparing me to the book version.

"I want to become a Vampire. I have thought about that option ever since I came here into this world,…………after I died."

Anna blurted out before she looked thoughtful for a moment gathering her thoughts. I waited patiently for her to continue.

"A human life……all the lies and the secrets I would have to create. I could never be honest with the people around me. I just can't do such a life. And then my ability. Don't get me wrong I do not have an over romantically view of what it means to be a Vampire. I do know that it is also a life with many obstacles and hardship………"

She took another break looking straight into my eyes.

"But I do think I could be happy in this immortal life. I think I would make a good Vampire. I decided that I wanted to become a Vampire independent from you, even before I knew that you would be a part of my life again. I just waited for the right moment to break the news to Emmett."

Forever. The corners of my lips twitched up.

"And…." She bit her bottom lip.

"And," it was now my time to encourage her.

"And I think "us" would make eternity worth while living." Anna admitted shyly.

In this moment I was going to burst from the abundance of happiness that was vibrating my frame. The smile on my face widened to an impossible extent and I lifted her off the ground spinning us around a few times.

"Edward." She squeaked amused, her eyes glowing.

I put her down on her feet gazing into her hazel pools while brushing a strain of hair out of her face.

"Forever." I breathed, pressing my lips to hers and pulling her body flush against mine.

"Oh boy. You are so cheesy, Edward." Anna laughed with a twinkle in her eyes when I let her catch some desperately needed oxygen.

"Maybe so but you have eternity to get used to it." I stated in mocked seriousness.

"Oh lord, help me." Anna responded in good humour, rolling her eyes and we both laughed.

So this is it. The end of the story for all those of you who do not want to read about Bella being bashed, sorry but that's the direction my story will go. She will be pretty mean in my story and will feel the consequences of her actions.

Further more there are going to be hybrid babies present in this story though I do not mean Edward's and Anna's child if they will be having one. No, those hybrids will be something else entirely.

And other surprises will be coming your way. This story basically tells that you have to pay a price for things you gain. And not everyone gets a Disney happy ending. The end of Breaking Dawn was just too unrealistic. Everything was peachy in the end.

*Dramatic sigh* that ruined the book and the end of the series if you ask me.

Anyway you have been warned.

PUSH THE BUTTON!!!!
