Bella had fallen asleep, so I decided it was best that my family didn't walk in on her naked. I quickly put on her underwear, struggled a little with her bra. Finally, sliding on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. I lay down next to my sleeping beauty.

She had been sleep for a couple of hours, and my family was due back any minute now. I should wake her, they want to hurry and change her today. I need to make sure this is what she wants.

"Bella, wake up please." I tried nudging her gently. She rolled over and under the sheets. I gave her a minute to come up.

"Hey" She said with my beautiful smile.

"Can we talk?" I tried to keep my face blank, no need to make her worry so soon to waking up.

"About?" She said now serious. I couldn't suppress my chuckle; I loved it when she got serious.

"You see Bella, my family wants to change you soon" She smiled widely. I turned away from her─ and she calls my gaze dazzling. "Tonight is more accurate." I heard her heartbeat accelerate. I couldn't tell if the smile was genuine or if she wasn't trying to hurt my feelings. "You don't have to do it Bella. You can wait, there's no…"

"Edward, if your family thinks it is best for me to get 'changed' today then today it will be. I have no second thoughts. Life without you would no longer be life." My chin now rests in her hands as she tilts it toward her. She stretched her neck up and gave me a kiss.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." I didn't even attempt to hide the smile that shot across my face with her answer. My wife, she would be giving up so much. A sacrifice so huge for me: a monster. I did not deserve her, but I would be damned if I let her go.

"They are here. Shall we go join them?" I picked her up before she could answer and ran down the stairs. We met my family at the door. Alice was the first one through the door. She probably saw that we would be waiting. Before I could greet them, she ran and hugged Bella.

"She has to breathe!" I scolded her.

She released her grip some. "Oh Bella, I'm so happy. You looked so wonderful. I love you, you're my sister." Alice spoke so quickly that I wasn't sure if Bella caught it all.

"I love you too." Bella said after Alice released her. She strode back to me without tripping over her feet.

Esme then rushed over to Bella and pulled her into a tight embrace. "I'm so happy for you two." Esme said in her motherly voice.

"Thank you." Bella replied.

Esme then swiftly backed away in pure instinct, as Emmett swept Bella off her feet. He pulled her in to one of his bear hugs. A low growl formed in my throat. Did no one seem to realize how fragile she still was? She was only human. Maybe, it would be best for everyone if I just changed her. I could do it right?

Edward. I turned to Carlisle as he silently spoke my name. Are the two of you ready? I gave the slightest of nods.

"Bella, can we talk please." She nodded. "In my office if you don't mind." She smiled and followed him up the stairs.

Edward, don't listen. Please, allow us some privacy. I can do that. I went and took my seat next to Emmett. I began to watch television as I waited.
