Yes, Jasper was changed my a lady named Maria. But in one of the first chapters I said I had to change a few things around...so this fic is not exactly how the books would go. For example, in this chapter, Charlie does something that he would never do in the books, but I had to make him say it, for the fic purposes only. This is the last chapter, so enjoy!
The Cullen Couples: Edward and Bella
Edward was just seventeen when Carlisle changed him. He was dying of influenza, and his parents were victims of the disease already. Carlisle was alone as well, so he figured Edward was going to pass away soon, so if he didn't change him it would be too late.
Edward had a hard time being who he was. He even left Carlisle once to hunt humans, but came back shortly after feeling the guilt. Edward loved to play piano, so he played in his free time, to calm himself. When Carlisle brought Rosalie home, Edward knew that his father wanted them to be together. Edward just didn't feel anything when he was with her. She felt only like a sister to him, and luckily, she found Emmet and they were happy together.
Years and years passed, and two more vampires joined their family. Edward was the only one that wasn't married. Everyone else seemed happy and in love, except him.
When he met Bella, he was happier than everyone in his family. Bella and him got very close, and fell in love almost immediately. That bring us to where we are now.
It was a normal night at the Cullen house. Edward was playing Bella the song her wrote for her, as she sat next to him on the piano bench. Emmet was flirting with Rosalie, as they usually did, and eventually he carried her up the stairs to do who knows what. Alice and Jasper were on the couch enjoying the music and Esme was cooking Bella dinner. Carlisle had a late shift at the hospital, so he wouldn't be home until two or three in the morning.
Edward had finished the song, and was please with Bella's reaction every time. They kissed gently, and then walked over to the other couch.
"Edward, what do you have planned for us tonight? You've been hiding something all day!" Bella begged her boyfriend to spill his secret.
"Bella, you'll just have to wait. In the mean time, eat your dinner, then we'll leave." He had that smug smile on his face that made Bella want to kiss him harder than ever, and at the same time punch him.
Bella shoved the food down her throat as the rest of the family stared at her. She was used to them staring while she ate; for some reason they found it fascinating. She handed the plate to Esme and entwined her fingers with Edward's. "Let's go!" Bella and Edward said goodbye and hopped in Edward's Volvo. He drove to the beach and within a blink of an eye was at Bella's door, helping her out of the car.
"Edward, what are we doing here?"
"You'll see."
Waiting for them at the coastline was a cute little rowboat.
"Oh no, Edward. You are not getting me to get in that thing. It's an accident waiting to happen!"
"Bella, do you really think I would let anything happen to you? Now come on, I'm doing all the rowing anyway." When Bella refused to move, Edward easily picked her up and carried her on the boat. He rowed it all the way across the surprisingly calm water to the cliff that Bella had once jumped off of.
"You know how you wanted to cliff dive? Well, since I'll be here to catch you, you can!" Edward kissed Bella before she could protest, and they climbed the cliff together. When they were at the top, Edward jumped first, and when he screamed up that it was safe for Bella to go, she jumped. She hit the water in the wrong way, and floated up unconscious. Edward realized what happened and rushed her to the hospital.
Carlisle said she had one lung collapsed and both legs were broken. The way she impacted the water didn't go well for her body. Out of all the Cullen's, Edward was the most devastated.
How could I have let this happen? I promised her nothing would go wrong.
"Edward, I know now is not a good time, but I need to speak with you." Carlisle gently talked to Edward. "Edward, Bella is in critical condition and will not survive unless…" His voice trailed off, but Edward knew what was coming.
"How do you know that?" His voice boomed. "How do you know she won't live?"
"Alice had a vision. But we could still prevent this. We could help her." Carlisle put his hand on Edward's shoulder. "Think about it. You can do it, but if you don't want to, I will. Either way, it has to be done." Carlisle left Edward to think.
A few moments later, after staring at his beautiful Bella lay in a hospital bed, knowing her moments living were shortening, Edward made a decision.
"I'll do it." Alice and Carlisle were the only ones still in the room. Everyone else went home. Edward bent down, kissed Bella's neck and then bit her. She jumped in the bed, her eyes flashing open, then she screamed. Screamed so loud that even the vampires had to cover their ears. She thrashed around in her bed as Edward and Carlisle held her down. Edward whispered in her ear, and kissed her forehead, and she calmed down and fell asleep. Edward couldn't stand to see her like that, and he wished he never had to do that.
"Wow Edward, do you have calming powers too?" Alice tried to lighten the situation.
Edward was very quiet the next few days. He never left Bella's side, and he hardly said anything to anyone. He sometimes talked to Bella. He knew what it was like, during the transformation. You could still hear everything that goes on around you, but you were in too much pain to talk or you were sleeping.
It took Edward three days to complete the transformation, and it took Bella three as well. On the third day, Edward was getting even more upset, until Bella stirred in her bed. Edward looked up from reading and stared at his sleeping beauty. Slowly, her eyes fluttered open and she turned her head to look at Edward.
"Edward? Why am I in the hospital? I feel fine!" Bella sat up as Edward walked over to her. He stroked her hair, which was incredibly silky and smooth, and sat next to her.
"Because, we went cliff diving, and you were injured. So…I had no other option but to…change you." Edward looked sincerely at Bella to see her reaction. She stared at him blankly and then her eyes got wide.
"You mean, I'm a…a vampire?! Oh my gosh Edward thank you so much! I can't believe it! I love you!" Bella kissed Edward like she normally did, but Edward was so pleased that he deepened the kiss. Bella never kissed him like this, but she figured if they were both vampires, they could kiss each other as hard as they wanted. She liked it.
When Bella and Edward went home, Bella sat in the car and pulled down the visor. She flipped open the mirror and gasped. Her hair was perfect- even at the ends, silky and shiny. Her eyebrows were neat and her skin was smooth and flawless. Her eyes were a light topaz. She wondered why they weren't red since she was a new vampire.
They got to the Cullen house and everyone gathered around Bella. The entire family was talking to her at once, and Bella answered every one of them. When everyone was sitting down and Carlisle was talking about the accident, Bella heard Alice say, "Bella is so lucky. I'm so glad she's part of our family!" then Emmet said, "Bella is gorgeous! Almost as much as Rosalie!" Bella shook her head at that. Emmet, calling her gorgeous? Now that was just wrong. Bella listened to Rosalie, who said, "I am such a horrible person. Bella is so pretty and nice, and I've treated her like dirt." Bella didn't understand why they were saying these things when she was sitting right there.
"Rosalie, I forgive you, even though you really shouldn't be sorry." Everyone stared at her except Edward.
"Bella. I didn't say anything." Rosalie said, and then went back to looking at her newly manicured nails.
"Rosalie, yes you did. I'm a vampire now, I can hear everything!"
"Yes, and you can even hear people's thoughts, like me!" Edward looked like he knew this already.
Bella was so nervous. It had been a week since her transformation and it was time to tell her dad she was moving in with Edward. She wouldn't tell him the entire truth, just that she couldn't live being apart from him. Hopefully he would understand.
Bella walked in and her dad was unpacking his suitcases. He and his new girlfriend went on a trip to New York for the week, so Charlie was unaware of everything that happened.
"Dad? I'm home!"
"Bella, hi! Have you been out with Edward lately? You should bring him over, we could have dinner sometime!" Bella was amazed. Her father's mood had improved greatly after meeting Lisa. Too bad Edward, nor she, would be eating any time soon. Ever, for that matter.
"Dad, I have something to say. I…kind of am moving in with Edward at the Cullen house. The Cullen's are coming later to help move my stuff." Charlie just smiled and nodded his head.
"Be careful Bells." Was all he said. Bella would really have to thank Lisa later.
Like she said, the Cullens came over and they each brought a car. The carried down all of her things and were driving back home within two hours. Bella's room was right next to Edward's. She was sharing a room with Alice, which was perfectly fine. When Edward knocked on the door, he had his car keys in his hand.
"Bella, ready to go?" Bella had no idea where he was taking her, but she didn't care. She followed him outside and instead of him opening the Volvo door he opened the Aston Martin.
"Edward…" Bella said his name longer than usual. "Why are we taking the Aston Martin?"
"Because, it's a special occasion." Edward said, like I knew what he meant. I couldn't read his mind, and he still couldn't read mine.
We drove far, for an hour. And when it takes Edward and hour to drive somewhere, it would take a normal person three hours. We arrived at an amusement park.
Was he serious?
Apparently he was. He bought two ride bracelets and dragged me on our first ride. He picked all of the slow, calm rides, which I was thankful for. Then he reminded me of how I couldn't get hurt anymore and he dragged me to the roller coaster.
"Oh no Edward. You are not bringing me on that thing!" It had two loops and a huge drop.
"Bella, you are a" he lowered his voice. "Vampire now. There is nothing here that can hurt you. Come on, I'll hold your hand." Edward took my hand and picked the last seat in the roller coaster. It started, and before I knew it, it was over. That wasn't bad at all.
We spent four hours on rides, when we headed back for the car. Edward drove at his usual speed and we arrived in an hour. All of the lights in the house were off.
"Is anyone home?"
"I'm not sure." But I very well knew that he knew the answer to that.
We walked in, flipped the lights on and everyone jumped up and screamed "Surprise!" I was so shocked I just stood there. When I came out of the trance I asked what the party was for. No one answered. Then Edward hushed everyone and walked over to me.
Within a second he was kneeling with a black velvet box in his hand.
"Isabella Swan, you are the most beautiful, outstanding thing that has ever came into my life, and now you wont ever have to leave. Bella, will you marry me?" I don't think I have ever loved him more than I did right then.
"YES! Yes Edward yes! Of course I will!" I jumped up and down like a child and then ran into his arms.
Edward and I got married on Christmas that year, with my family there too. Edward surprised me with the honeymoon. We went to the Bahamas for a week. We did many things together at night, but it was cloudy most of the time anyway.
We returned from the honeymoon, only to find that Carlisle and Esme had bought us a house and bought me my own Volvo. I couldn't believe it—I was a part of one of the Cullen Couples.
The last line isn't working for me, but I'm glad with the story! Please tell me what you thought of it! Don't forget to check out my other fan fictions!
