The couple looked at each other nervously and then back at Bella. They both wanted to be brave and let us do it now, but neither could summon the courage to say so.

"We'll surprise you some time between now and Friday." Today was Monday. I knew it was cruel to keep them in suspense like that, but it would make it easier to carry out our plan. They both nodded shakily. They were so nervous, Alice looked at all of us before settling on Jasper and nodding. Jasper used his gift to put them to sleep. It took a few minutes to ensure that they were in a deep sleep. Carlisle and Esme moved them to the guest room that was furthest from the living room where the children were going to be playing. Carlisle also injected them both with a mild sedative to keep them asleep for a bit. Bella followed me into the room and Esme handed each of us a large syringe. Neither one of us wanted to bite them and Bella was unsure of her control if she did bite so this was the safest option. I showed her where to insert the needle and she couldn't do it. I filled mine and took her needle from her. She opened her mouth for me and I removed as much of her venom as I could. With my fingers over hers, I showed her just where to insert he needle into Angela's chest. Bella's free hand covered mine and I knew she wanted me to do this with her. She didn't want to hurt her friend any more than she had to. Swiftly and carefully, we plunged the metal into her chest and pushed Bella's venom into her. I ran over to Ben and repeated my actions. Within an hour, Jasper's gift and Carlisle's sedative had worn off and they were both writhing and screaming. Bella ad moved a still sleeping Alex down to Rose and Emmett's room where Antonia was sleeping. They agreed to watch him for the night. Bella paused and then agreed to leave him in their care. I could tell she was slowly beginning to trust everyone again.

Halfway through the change, Angela finally settled down on her screaming since no one was going to help her anyway. Ben stopped soon after and it was blissfully quiet once again. I hope I don't have to watch another change happen again until it's Antonia's turn. I've experienced enough of them; five too many outside of mine and Bella's. Though Mike, Charlie and Jessica were changed while I was around, I wasn't able to "hear" them so I didn't count them. It's not pleasant to watch or in my case, hear, and I don't blame Jasper for leaving. His gift is impossible when two of them are going through it at the same time. I'm actually surprised he stayed around as long as he did. He made it through the whole first day before giving up. He had been trying to calm them down to no avail. He finally took Alice's hand and told us to call when they woke up.

We all heard it when their heartbeats started to sound like helicopters. Esme had called Alice and Jasper to return home. Rosalie and Esme stayed with the children. Alice was going to join them when she got back. I tried to get Bella to join them, but she wanted to see them when they first woke up and I couldn't begrudge her that. I stood slightly in front of her for protection and thankfully, she didn't fight me on that. She did lean as far off to my side as she could before I put a restraining hand on her hip.

Though we started Angela's change first by a few seconds, she was taller than Ben so naturally, Ben woke up first. They were down for sixty hours. It seems like it would be faster with an injection straight through the heart. We'll have to keep that in mind when it's Antonia's turn. Ben sat up and immediately backed into the corner.

"It's your venom, you talk to him." Carlisle told me in my mind. I glared at him. I didn't want to put my mate at risk. Before I could say a word, Bella spoke to him.

"Welcome back Ben. If you hang out for a bit, Angela will be awake soon." She gestured to his wife. He looked at her and moved in front of her protectively. I guess we were right and she's his mate.

"We're not going to hurt you. You asked us to do this. Remember?" I asked in hopes of jogging his memory. Just then, Angela gasped and sat up clutching her hand to her throat.

"It's ok Angela. Welcome back." Bella said soothingly. Ben hissed at her and I growled at him in warning. He backed away; seeming to already which one of the two of us was more dominant.

"We're not going to hurt you, but we are going to take you hunting to help with that burn in your throat." Angela stood looking fierce and ready to attack. I had to admit, she was lovely, but not nearly as much as my Bella.

"Angela, Ben, apart from the burning in your throat, how do you feel?" Bella asked.

"Awesome; like I could tunnel through the center of the Earth." Angela answered from behind Ben.

"I feel weird; the same but different. It's a good feeling though." Ben said a few seconds later. His voice had dropped a bit during his change and its effect on Angela was instantaneous. We all smelled the change in her scent to indicate her arousal. Ben growled at all of us to back away. All of us took a step back to show we meant no harm to his mate. I put my arms around Bella as further proof I was not interested in Angela. It worked to a certain extent.

"Relax, we all have mates here. Angela is safe from us." Emmett said with a smile. It was then that he finally saw Angela's eyes. He pulled her in for a kiss and after fifteen seconds, we all coughed to break it apart.

"Let's go hunting and then we'll take you some place you can be alone for a while." They nodded. Jessica and Garrett were prepared for them and soundproofed all of the walls in their house. With vampires, it wouldn't stop the sounds from being heard, but it does help muffle them a bit. No one was about to let two newborns be left alone for any length of time. We would all be checking on them in their isolation. Judging by the thoughts that they both had, they might be in a close contest with Emmett and Rosalie for the amount of time needed to satiate the initial mating. These two had a pretty experimental sex life from what I gathered when we saw them in Paris. We were going to have to keep a careful eye on these two.

It was a successful hunting trip and Angela was ecstatic to see Jessica again. Garrett and Ben got along amicably, just happy that their mates were happy. Alice said that they've been pronounced dead and their families had been notified. I felt bad that they gave up their families, but I consoled myself that this is what they chose. No one took it from them. Bella surprised me and trusted Alex in the care of our family for three days while we went on a hunting trip/sexcapade. I was in heaven because halfway through the first day, we stopped wearing clothes altogether. Her arranging this trip in my mind meant that she trusted our family again. I was right when upon arriving home she told the family that she forgave them.

A/N: This chapter brings us to the end of the main story. I am working on the epilogue. Thank you all so much for sticking with me even when I didn't post for a whole year.
