Hey all! Yes. Another chapter! Be proud of me!

I got many reviews with questions in them, so here are the answers.

FutureCullen22 – You really thought it was like Stephenie would have written it? Really truly? That is like a HUGE compliment! You're my favorite! Haha.OOHH!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!! LARGE STICKS!!!!!!!! (EVIL LAUGH)

Wear Clean Socks – I don't exactly KNOW if I have to be 18 to get published, but I am pretty sure that is the case. Otherwise, they would have tons of underage people trying to get published, which could equal mass chaos.

Rock.Star.Ivy. – Thanks for the compliments. Now as to your question…….you will have to read to find out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There were other reviews too that were great encouragement to me, but those were the ones with questions. Thanks to all who reviewed!

Foreswear: I do not own Twilight, New Moon, or Eclipse.

JAR:

"What do you mean Bella?" Edward asked worriedly.

I didn't say anything. "Bella, answer me."

Still, I didn't say anything. Oh Edward was going to get a rude awakening.


Edward's Point of View

"Bella, you need to eat."

She didn't say anything. She hadn't said anything for a week now. She hadn't eaten or spoken or done anything for a week now.

"Bella, why do you insist on doing this to me?" I knew she wanted to be changed, but this was going overboard. She was putting her health in danger. According to Carlisle who had done a checkup on her about two days ago, she has already lost ten pounds. I didn't think that was possible in only one week. She only weighed around ninety now. That couldn't be healthy.

I put the tray of food down on the bedside table and sat on the bed by her. I felt awful. Bella was right. She had kept her promise to me even though it was a hard promise to keep. Why was I being so stubborn?

I just didn't want to risk her being paralyzed for eternity. But as she said, it was her risk to take. And she really didn't have anything to lose right now.

But it was such a big risk. I couldn't believe she was willing to take it. To risk being paralyzed forever was insanity!

"Bella honey, please eat," I whispered, stroking her arm.

I sighed. "Would you eat if I told you I was considering changing you?"

Her head moved slightly. I smiled and kept talking. "Because I am considering it. I understand where you are coming from now."

"Really?" she whispered.

I sighed in relief. "You talked," I said.

"You are considering it?" she asked.

I nodded. "Yes I am. I did promise after all."

My angel smiled. Oh how her smile made me fly!

"Thank you," she said.

"That doesn't mean I will change you for sure though," I said realizing that she might misunderstand me. Her face fell. "I am just considering it."

"Edward Anthony Mason Cullen." She sounded evil. What was happening to my Bella?

"Bella, this is something that I have to think about. It takes time."

"You have had plenty of time to think about it Edward. You had already decided before this happened. You shouldn't change your mind just because I decided to be stupid."

"Bella, you aren't stupid honey," I said, stroking her arm. "It could have happened to anyone."

"You are considering it though, right?" she asked.

"Yes Bella. I am considering it."

A faint smile was now playing at her lips. I smiled her favorite crooked smile in return.

A look of deep concentration crossed her face then. I looked at her,confused, but then realized what she wanted. I leaned into her and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"I wanted to do that Edward," she whispered.

I frowned. "But you couldn't, so I did."

Bella's face dropped and I looked at her in concern. "What's wrong love?"

"I could have if you had just given me time," she whispered.

"Not this again Bella. Please stop." Why did she have to go into denial again?

Her face turned angry now. "Oh, so I'm just supposed to be happy dandy?"

"What is happening to you Bella," I asked. She was truly confusing me. "You were never like this before." Realizing what I had just said, I opened my mouth to apologize, but she was quicker.

"How dare you," she said. "I have every right to be different now. So much has changed Edward. How dare you."

"Bella, I didn't mean to say that. You are just scaring me." I paused and then continued. "What is happening to us Bella?"

She frowned at the word 'us.' "Nothing is happening to us."

"Bella, we are constantly fighting now. You take everything I say the wrong way. You were never like this before. You never yelled at me before."

"So what? You don't want me actually defending myself now? Is that it Edward?"

I frowned at her in confusion. She was twisting my words. "Bella, I didn't say that."

"But you meant it."

"No I didn't. I said that you never yelled at me before, and now, it is like a daily thing."

"I am just sticking up for myself Edward."

I sighed. "Really Bella. What is happening to us?"

She lay there for a minute and then began to cry. "Bella, don't cry honey. I'm sorry. I love you Bella."

"I know you do Edward. I'm sorry," she whimpered. "I am sorry I am acting like this. It is just so hard. So much has changed."

"I know honey," I whispered, stroking her arm again.

She looked down and started to cry even harder. "Bella, what's wrong?"

"I…can't…feel…that," she stuttered.

I stopped and began stroking her hair. "But you can feel that."

"I want to be able to feel you stroking my arm again Edward. I want to be able to walk. I want to feed myself. I want to…"

I cut her off. "Bella, sweetie, calm down. You need to realize now that you can't. You can't walk. You can't feed yourself."

"That's kind of like what you said in my dream," she whispered.

"What dream?" I asked.

"The dream I had before we went downstairs. You told me that I needed to stop grieving and pitying myself."

I smiled lightly at her. "You do Bella. You need to realize that you can't walk anymore. As horrible as that is, you need to accept it or you are going to live your whole life in denial. I can't handle seeing you like that. I love you too much."

"If you changed me, then I wouldn't have to be in denial anymore. I could walk again."

"Not necessarily Bella."

"Edward, please."

I sighed. She was using that against me now? Evil. Pure evil. "Bella…"

"I married you Edward. I married you."

I groaned. "I know you did Bella."

"So change me."

I really did want to change her. It could fix her. It could make everything better. Oh man!

"Bella, I want to…"

"Then why don't you?"

"Oh Bella. You are evil. Pure evil I tell you." She had won. I had lost. Oh the humanity!

"Does that mean you will?" she asked, excitement plain in her voice.

"Bella, I will change you…"

"YES!" she screamed. "YES!"

"Let me finish Bella. I will change you, but you have to understand that it might not fix you."

"I know Edward. I know! Now change me!"

"Not right now Bella. I need to speak with Carlisle first."

She pouted but agreed. "Fine. How about at ten?" she asked.

I looked at the clock. It was five in the evening.

"That only gives me five hours Bella."

"So? We have made the decision. Let's do it already!"

I was regretting this with each passing second, but I couldn't back down now. Bella would never forgive me. "Just let me talk to Carlisle. Him and I will figure out a time."

"It better be tonight," was all she said before she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

I looked at her. I was afraid she was hoping too much. What if it didn't work? What if she stayed paralyzed even as a vampire? I don't think her heart could take anymore disappointment.

"Please don't make me do this," I whispered in her ear.


I hope you liked it. It is pretty long for being the second chapter out today!
