Chapter Twelve

At the reception, I am thrilled to see my dad and Billy being open with their affection for one another. I think it's safe to say they're fully 'out' now. And a couple of times I even see them dancing with Sue.

Leah looks about as thrilled about the idea of being related to Jake and me as we were when we first heard about it. We've since come around to the idea, so hopefully, she will too. And Seth of course seems thrilled, but he's just a good-natured kid all around.

By the end of the night when we head off on our honeymoon, everyone knows it will be the last time they see me human.

We are spending the first few weeks at a remote cabin the Cullens own in northern British Columbia. It will be a nice, isolated place for me to undergo my change.

Once my control is such that I won't be as likely to devour anyone, we will be chartering a private plane to a remote tropical paradise.

We will be spending the next several months there and as my control improves, we will gradually begin venturing into more populated areas for short periods at first, getting longer until I can successfully spend whole days around humans.

At which point we will be meeting the family in Alaska, where we will be staying for the remainder of my newborn year, as we attempt to repair our friendship with the Denalis.

Irina has been holding a grudge ever since the pack destroyed Laurent, and it has gotten so bad we couldn't even invite them to the wedding.

Once things are smoothed over with the Denali coven, we will be moving on to wherever we end up living next.

Due to the blind spots in Alice's visions, none of us know what the future holds anymore but maybe that's for the best. All I know is that whatever our future will be, it's going to be pretty incredible!


When we arrive at the cabin in British Columbia, we decide to get straight to business. Together, Edward and Jacob carry me over the threshold and up to the bedroom.

They helped me out of my dress and we engage in a little foreplay to get things started. then comes the big moment. We decided that I would swipe my v-card with Jacob because Edward is going to change me when it's his turn.

That way, Jake gets to be with me while I'm still human.

"Are you ready?" Jake asks, lining up at my entrance.

We used a vibrator a few days prior so that tonight won't be painful, at least until my transformation begins. They said they want my last human memories to be only pleasant ones.

"Very ready." I nod, kissing him.

When Jacob penetrates me, it feels so good I practically see stars. And when Edward moves behind him and begins essentially fucking him into me, it's so amazing that the pleasure quickly overwhelms me.

Jake wears a condom since there is certainly no point getting pregnant going into my change. So when he is ready to succumb to my tightness, I don't make him pull out. I feel his warmth filling me and it sends me careening over the edge a second time.

They insist that we take a hot tub break before Edward's turn. Yet another pleasant human memory to add to the mix, I guess.

I never would have thought hot tubing could be such an erotic experience but being naked in a hot tub with the two men in my life, is pretty freaking sexy.

It isn't long before we all feel ready to move on to the next part though.

As we head back inside, I take one last look at the horizon, wondering how much different it will look once I have supernatural vision.


Edward lies down on the bed over top of me this time, and when he penetrates me, I feel the tremendous amount of restraint he is using to keep from hurting me.

Between the burning desire for my blood and the need to keep to a human pace, it must be nearly killing him to be so slow and controlled.

I want to tell him to just bite me and put us both out of the misery of anticipation.

But Edward insists on taking his time with me, bringing me to orgasm a handful of times before finally, at long last, pumping me full of two kinds of venom as he simultaneously fills me with his seed and also the means with which to begin my change.

Jake holds me in his arms as I begin to writhe in pain. "This is supposed to happen, right?" I hear him hiss.

"Yes, Love. She will be fine in three days. The next three days will be excruciating for her, I won't lie. It's just the way the transformation process works. I'm so sorry. I know how hard it is to see her hurting." Edward apologizes.

"I'm sure it's worse for you, to have to be the one causing it." Jake frowns.

After that I lose track of my surroundings due to the pain although I am fairly certain, my two loves seek comfort in one another's arms while I do my best to lie still and not scream in agony.

After the worst three days of my entire life, I know the end is near. My heart races then stops and a moment later my eyes fly open.

"She's waking up! "I hear Edward exclaim excitedly.

I sit bolt upright. And in this moment three things are absolutely clear to me.

I am a vampire.

These two men are my mates.

And one of them smells faintly like a wet dog.

Oh well, I guess no happily ever after can be completely perfect!
