A/N

This chapter will be my longest yet I assume...be prepared. Continues from BPOV. Oh and I would just like to say I HAVE THE BEST READERS EVER!!!!!!!!! You guys are awesome!!! Thank you soooooo much for your support of this story!!

Again I just stood there staring at him. Something finally came to mind.

"Don't you drink blood?" I blushed immediately at my silly question but he smiled.

"Yes." I breathed in deeply. "But, I found a way to live without killing humans." I think I let my breath out. I'm not sure. I blinked and the next thing I knew I was beside Edward and Elizabeth. I turned and Carlisle was there smiling.

"How did I get in here?"

"I brought you." Something clicked in my mind.

"Is that how you get everywhere so fast? What you just did?" He nodded

I was brought out of my gaze at Carlisle when I felt Edwards hand on mine.

"Excuse me? Can you tell me why I am here?" Carlisle answered before me.

"You are here to visit your mother sir." Edward glanced over and tried to stand to get to her. "Let's just keep you seated if you don't mind." Carlisle was there keeping him from falling.

"That's fine. My name is Edward by the way."

"Nice to meet you Edward. I'm Dr. Carlisle Cullen, this is your nurse Isabella." He nodded towards me.

I was beyond confused. I looked up and saw Edward leaning on Carlisle for support.

"His fever, he gets confused. He will slip in and out of reality and consciousness as well. The fever is taking over."

"Is that normal?" He laid him back down when he was out.

"It is. I need to go check on some other patients, if he does that again it's best to just play along." I nodded and he was gone.

"Isabella?"

"Yes Elizabeth."

"How is Edward?" My heart sank. I couldn't tell her the truth.

"He is sleeping." She nodded and went back to sleep herself.

I spent the next few hours patting their heads, talking to one of them if they woke up, giving them water and trying to keep Elizabeth in her bed so she wouldn't go to Edward and make herself worse by trying to nurse him.

"Bella?" I heard Edward call in a raspy voice.

"Yes?"

"I'm so sorry."

"For what? You have nothing to be sorry for."

"Yes I have. I promised I wouldn't leave you. I broke that promise to you."

"No. You're fine. Just rest alright? I love you Edward."

"I love you, my Bella." With that he was unconscious again.

It was hard for me to be here, well and fine, and Elizabeth and Edward lying there helpless.

I didn't realize I was sleeping until I was woken my Carlisle talking to Elizabeth.

"Doctor Carlisle, please I know you can save him. Do what others cannot do for my son. Please."

"Elizabeth? Can you hear me?" I opened my eyes and saw Elizabeth barely breathing.

"Her fever has completely taken over her. She is unconscious but she won't wake again. Her pulse is slowing rapidly but her breathing is slowing even quicker" He turned to see my confused face. "I heard your breathing pick up. I also heard your heart racing."

Tears were falling from my eyes. Carlisle walked over and put a freezing arm around my shoulder.

"I'm so sorry." He told me. What seemed like seconds later I was awoken again but this time by Edwards rough voice.

"Bella? Where are you?" I shot out of the chair to stand next him.

"I'm right here. Are you alright?"

"Yes. I was looking for you and I didn't see you sleeping behind me. I didn't know there was a chair... Isabella? Could you lye here? Just until I fall asleep again?" I smiled at him and pressed my lips to his. He tried to kiss me how he normally did but he was so weak he couldn't even sit up. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him to me.

"I'll lye here as long as you need me Edward. I love you."

"I love you Isabella." After that he was out again.

Carlisle entered again and I had my question ready for him.

"What was Elizabeth talking about...before?"

"She wanted me to save Edward."

"You can save him?" He hung his head.

"It is a possibility. I'm not sure though."

"What are you waiting for? Just do it."

"You may not agree once you know what will happen." He sighed and began talking before I had a chance to speak. "I can save him yes. But at a price. The process will be excruciating. He won't be the same person."

"What are you talking about?"

"I can change him. Make him, what I am." I stood there dumbfounded. I didn't know what to say.

"Bella." Edward whimpered but didn't wake up. I looked over to him. I sat up and put his head in my lap.

"What will you have to do to him?"I started rubbing little circles on the heated skin of his back.

"I'll have to bite him." I gasped and stared at him with shock written on my face.

"I thought you didn't drink human blood."

"I don't. This won't be the same." I gave him another look of confusion. I was lost. "Have a seat. I'll explain." I pulled Edward close and put his hand in mine. It gave me a sense of calm even though I knew he couldn't feel me.

"What I am Isabella, my kind, we have many weapons to use on our prey. We have amazing strength, super speed, and all of our senses are heightened. Also we have certain aspects about us that lure our prey to us. Our smell, the sound of our voices, and our beauty. All of the things are really not needed. Our biggest weapon is something that humans don't even recognize as something dangerous."

He flashed me a huge smile and his many teeth sparkled. But I failed to see something I thought all vampires had.

"You don't have fangs." Carlisle started laughing loudly.

"No Isabella, we don't. But our teeth are razor sharp and coated with venom. Once a vampire bites their victim, the venom spreads causing the prey such pain they cannot move. If left to spread long enough and the heart continues to beat so it can spread the venom, that person becomes a vampire."

There was so much for me to take in. It was hard.

"So this venom, it's painful when it spreads?"

"Yes. It feels like every inch of you is on fire, nothing puts out the flame. You just lay there and burn."

I didn't know what to think. How could Edward becoming a vampire save him from dying.

"And what happens when he is a vampire?"

"What do you mean?"

"How does that keep him from dying?"

"Vampires are immortal. We live for all eternity."

"And what if...could you change more than one person? Can you change two?"

"Isabella, this is not something to toy with. This is a very important decision that I am going to leave to you." He looked at me a moment. "How do you feel Isabella?"

"Confused, frustrated, scared, angry and lost." He chuckled.

"I meant physically."

"Oh. Fine I guess. Why?"

"Well, you remember me saying that my kind has heightened senses?"

"Yes."

"Well, there are two heartbeats coming from you." I looked at him trying to figure out what he meant. Before I could say anything he spoke. "You're pregnant Isabella."

"You can hear the heartbeat?"

"I can. I take it this is a surprise?"

"Yes." I squeaked out.

"Well it is very faint. I can barely hear it. You are not far along at all." He stood "You have many choices to make, I'll leave you with them for a while."

I looked down at Edward for a moment. Even though I knew there was nothing there at the moment I put his hand on my stomach. His eyes started to flutter. I instantly dropped his hand to touch his face.

"Edward? Can you hear me?"

"Mhm." His eyes were closed.

"Do you know who I am Edward?"

"Mhm."

"Open your eyes. Would you do that for me?" A moment later Edwards eyes opened and a slight smile appeared.

"Hi." I smiled in return.

"Hello. Can I ask you something?" He nodded weakly. "If you had the chance...if we had the chance...would you want to live forever?"

"If you were with me, then yes. One life is not enough time for me to be with you."

"Are you sure Edward? Would you be willing to put yourself in great pain?"

"As long as you were there with me." He went back to sleep.

I wanted to tell him about the baby, but then again I didn't. I wasn't sure if it was best so I let him sleep. I knew I had one answer for sure.

"I heard him wake." Carlisle walked in and put a hand to Edwards cheek. "His fever is rising. Have you made your choices yet Bella? If the fever takes complete control I'm not sure if the venom will spread."

It only took me a moment to compose myself.

"I did." He waited for me to answer. "I want you to."

"We will need to leave here. Follow me?" I nodded. He rolled Edwards bed into the hallway towards a back exit. "No one will notice his absence."

"What about yours?"

"It was my time to change shifts. They will think I went home."

Once we got to the door he picked Edward up and started out the door.

"Where are we going?"

"We have to go to my house. I can't do the change here, to many screams." I shuddered but knew that it would be better for him later. I just wasn't sure what I was going to do yet. I am carrying his baby, what happens if I do want to be changed?

"Carlisle? What would happen to the baby if you changed me as well?" He let out a sigh.

"The baby would die. Vampires cannot give birth to children. Your body has to be able to grow in order to conceive a child, when you are turned into a vampire your body remains the way it was the day you were turned."

We arrived and Carlisle put Edward on the couch.

"Can I ask you to wait in the kitchen?" He asked kneeling over Edward. I nodded and walked to the room at the other end of the house that was the kitchen. I heard Edward whimper and then Carlisle was in the kitchen.

"It's starting. You can return to him." I ran to his side when I heard his whimpers turning into gasps of pain.

"Bella! Bella it burns!" He was talking to me through his gritted teeth trying not to scream.

"I'm so sorry Edward. I love you. Did you know that Edward?" I leaned down and kissed his cheek.

"Bella!"

"Is there anything we can do to help?" I asked Carlisle desperately hoping something could numb the pain.

"No. I'm afraid not."

"Please! Make it stop!"

"Can you hear me Edward? Edward?" His eyes were shut tight and his lips were pulled inside is mouth where he was chewing on them to keep from screaming out more loud than he was already.

"Edward? If you can hear me nod your head." He nodded slightly but didn't relax the tiniest bit. After seeing this I made up my mind on my behalf "I love you Edward, so much! Once this is over I will be with you. We can live together forever."

"Bella!" My tears were flowing down my face in an instant.

"I'm so sorry. I wanted to help you. Please forgive me for doing this." Carlisle walked over and put his hand on my shoulder. He sat beside me.

"Have you made your choice Isabella?"

"I have." I laid myself beside Edward and wrapped my arms around his tensed body.

"What is your decision?"

"I want be with him. Forever, and longer after that."

"What about the baby? You won't be able have one after you are turned. If you wait to have the baby first you can't keep it. You will kill it. Being a newborn you have no control over your blood lust. It will take time for you to be able to resist. When you could finally control it the way you need to your baby will be at least five years old. It takes a while Isabella."

"I'm not waiting for the baby. I want to wait until Edwards transformation is complete. I want to be here for him, then I want to join him."

"It will have to be a little before it's complete. If he wakes he wouldn't think twice about killing you. I'll have to take you two far off. Away from humans. He would have to stay away from you while your changing. After you could be together again."

"BELLA!" After this scream their was a constant flow of "Bella it burns" or "Please make it stop" or just out right screams coming from his mouth.

"How long will this take?"

"Three days. Maybe sooner. I bit him as many times as possible." I sat up and looked over Edwards body, my hands were fluttering uselessly over him.

"We need to get him to my car. If I'm going to change you too we need to leave now."

–

We arrived in Alaska the next day.

"His change is nearing completion. Will you be ready soon?" I nodded.

Edward eventually stopped screaming last night when he figured out that it didn't help the pain any.

Carlisle found a cave in the middle of no where in Alaska and that is where he would leave Edward during my change. For the time being Carlisle went to drink some animals blood before he proceeded with my change. I however stayed in the cave holding my thrashing Edward.

"He only has an hour left. We need to get you out of here."

"We will come back to get him?"

"I promise, we will." Carlisle held out.

"What?"

"I need to get you as far away as I can, the quickest way is me running. It will be easier if you ride on my back rather than carry you."

"Oh." I took his hand and he helped me onto his back.

"Hold on." With that Carlisle took off full force. I thought at first we were just standing there, it wasn't until I noticed the trees flying by that we were moving. "Here we are." He said after a few minutes. "We are on the complete opposite end of Alaska as Edward." This did not comfort me. Carlisle could sense it.

"It will be fine. He is unbreakable now. It's you we need to worry about. Can you lie back?" I did as I was told. "I'm going to do the same as I did with Edward, I'm going to bite you many times so the change will be quicker. When you're ready close your eyes." He sat and waited.

I thought about how much I loved Edward and how after I do this we can be together for eternity. From what Carlisle explained there will be nothing that can harm us. I can love Edward forever. I closed my eyes.

I felt a cut through my right wrist, my left, my right ankle, then the left one. The pain surged through my body and I could feel the flames igniting.

"Almost done Isabella." There were two more bites at then bends in my arms and the last one, the most painful, was on my neck. The last words I heard before the fire was- "Isabella? Think of who you're doing this for. Think of your love for Edward." After that it was unbearable pain.

I couldn't believe the flames that were growing inside of my body. I feel like I've been burning for years. Time no longer held a meaning for me.

I tried desperately to think of what the voice said. Think of Edward. How much you love him. I started to try and focus on if Edward's change was complete now. I tried to think of the child I was leaving behind, what would have happened if Edward hadn't have gotten sick. We would both be at home and eventually we would have our baby with us. The baby that was half of the man I'm in love with. I couldn't help but feel a sting of regret for my unborn child but Edward was someone I could not live without. If I had lost him I would have died.

After a while thoughts of anything more than pain were not an option. It was just pain. That's all. Everything I was, was consumed by this burning, scalding fire.

I heard leaves rustling around me. I couldn't hear them before. I also couldn't smell all the fragrances that were in the air. I prayed that meant I was almost complete.

I could feel my toes curling and my fingers doing the same as the flame started to move from them. I thought that the pain would soon stop, but I was wrong. All of the pain that was leaving my body parts was flowing straight to my heart. I wanted to reach in, rip my heart out and stop the pain. Blackness was taking over me. Before I let it consume me I saw a teenaged male with beautiful green eyes looking at me with a breathtaking crooked smile. I felt the blackness swallow me.

"Isabella? Can you hear me? Isabella?" Before I opened my eyes I once again saw that green eyed teen. I opened my eyes to see it wasn't the person I saw a moment ago. This person looked familiar though, I just couldn't place a name.

"Isabella?" He said once again

"Bella." I replied.

"What?" He looked at me with confusion.

"Call me Bella."

"You don't prefer to be called Isabella?"

"No. I don't like that name."

"Alright." The man stood swiftly and once I saw him do it I just thought of it and was instantly upright off the ground.

"Want to find Edward?" I thought for a moment. Edward?...Who was Edward. "I promised before I changed you that I would bring you back to Edward." Flashes of the green eyed male was blurring past my eyes. Memories that were hard to place. "You were in love with him Isabella." That was all he had to say. I instantly placed the face to the name, of both people, the one in my mind and the one in front of me.

"Carlisle?"

"Yes Isabella?"

"Call me Bella."

"I'm sorry, I forgot. It's difficult to remember, no one called you Bella but Edward. To everyone else you were Isabella. " He looked at me a moment giving things time to settle in for me. All the new things I could see, hear, smell, taste and touch. "Are you ready to find him?" I nodded and he was off.

I wasn't sure if I could keep up with him, I tried though. I started running and I was surprised to see myself ahead of Carlisle. He was laughing behind me. I was anxious to get back to the love I had before. I tried to remember as much as I could.

We arrived at the cave and Carlisle walked ahead of me.

"I cam to check on him yesterday. He was fine. I explained to him what he was and he was looking forward to meeting you again. He, like yourself I'm sure, couldn't remember a lot about you." We looked around the cave for a moment. No one was there.

"Edward?" Carlisle's voice echoed across the cave. No one answered. We were the only ones here.

I know I did somethings differently than how they were in Steph. Mey.'s books. That was only because I had to twist it to make it work for my story.

HUGE thanks to all of my dedicated readers, and the new ones!!!!
