Chapter 2: New Life

I laid there on the couch silently as I realized that my transformation was complete. I looked around the room and everything was sharper and brighter looking. My hearing had also improved. I could hear Edward breathing as well as I could hear the bird outside the window walking on the branch. It was amazing but it was going to take some time getting use to.

I looked at my beautiful angel and I could not imagine ever going back to looking at him with my human eyes because he was even more flawless than before. I smiled at him and shyly said, "Hi."

Edward stopped humming my lullaby realizing that my transformation was finished. He scooped my up in his strong arms and gave me the most loving hug ever. When he let go which was all too soon, he looked at me with love and a little bit of sadness in his eyes.

"Bella, my love, how are you feeling?" he whispered in my ear.

I knew that he was whispering, but it sounded much louder. That was going take some time getting use to. "I am wonderful," I said with a smile.

He looked relieved but there was still sadness in his perfect topaz eyes. "That's good. Bella we need—", but he was cut off by Alice. She ran into the room yelling "Bella's done!" She made me sound like I was a turkey that was ready to be eaten at Thanksgiving.

Alice gave me a bone crushing hug that I could finally take, and it felt so good not being the fragile human any more. Alice would not let me go, but she would not sit still either because she had officially gained a new sister. She was too excited for her own good.

Edward was quietly sitting beside me holding my hand as Alice was still yelling for everyone to get upstairs. I was worried about Edward's reaction to all of this. I really wanted to talk to him, but couldn't with all of the excitement going on around me.

I saw everyone come into the room, even Jasper who looked shamefaced. I felt guilty knowing that I made him feel that way. "Jasper, it's okay. Please forgive yourself because I have absolutely no hard feelings," I said with a smile. He gave me a weak smile. I was going to have to have a private talk with him sometime soon so he could let go of his "mistake" because it was the best "mistake" that he could have ever done for me.

The doctor side in Carlisle was obviously showing when he asked, "Bella are you thirsty?" The question caught me off guard because I was not thirsty. From all the discussion I had with Edward and his family about vampires I had learned that when a new vampire is newly transformed they craze blood. Of course I would be the exception.

"No, I am not thirsty Carlisle. Which is strange I know, but I really do not feel thirsty," I replied.

"It figures that you would not have any thirst after your change. I am guessing that you don't feel the urge to drink because in your human life blood made you physically ill. You are going to be one unique vampire Bella, but I am going to bet that you will still have to drink animal blood to stay healthy," he told me.

I joined everyone else in laughing because of course I would be the only vampire who didn't feel the urge to drink human blood. I looked over at Edward again and saw some of the sadness lift from his face. I desperately wanted to talk to Edward alone, but I knew that everyone wanted to spend some time with me. I could tell that Edward was rethinking things about what had happen to me, but all I wanted was to have him tell me that I was still his.
