The house was unlike anything I'd ever seen before. It was made out of stone, and there was actually a chimney on the top of it. There were perfectly square windows all around it, and the huge garage by the side looked as big as Charlie's house. I was in awe as Edward said, "Great, isn't it?" And started toward the door.

I couldn't move quite yet. It took a while to register everything in my head. It was like a castle.

I headed toward the front door, but Edward stopped me and started walking toward a staircase on the side of the house.

"What... are you doing?" I asked, following him.

"This house is made up of four suites. So we all kind of get our own space," he explained, and I wondered if it could get any more perfect.

He led me up to the very top, the suite which had the biggest window and view in it.

"First come, first serve," he mumbled, as he thrust a key into the doorknob and opened the door.

The inside was even more beautiful than the outside. The walls were royal blue, and the hardwood looked as if it had just been put on. Everything in the kitchen was stainless steel, and the huge counters surrounded the perimeter of it. The living area was also amazing- a real fireplace was in the center of the wall, and there were large leather sofas placed perfectly around a glass coffee table. I walked into the enormous bedroom next. Of course I wasn't expecting a bed, so when I saw a large king sized one with about a million pillows on it, a turned to face Edward with a confused look.

"Some things," he said with a sly grin, "can't be accomplished on a couch." He winked.

I blushed red, and continued walking down the hall until I saw a bathroom that was pretty much the size of my old room. Though by tomorrow I wouldn't be needing one, a toilet was placed in the corner of it, along with a porcelain sink beside it. A huge vanity was along the other wall, with a full length mirror and enough drawers to fit my entire wardrobe into. There was a Jacuzzi and a shower at the end of it. I couldn't believe my eyes.

"I can't believe it... are we really going to be living here?" I asked, though I knew the answer already.

"Of course. Now, lets go see your new car!" He was excited about it. He picked me up and ran out to the garage, opening the front door to it. I closed my eyes, not knowing what to expect.

"Here it is, Bella! Open your eyes!" He pushed me over to an area, and I opened my eyes slowly. A blue two-door car was parked in front of me, and before I could even reach out to touch it, a key was in my hand.

"Let's go for a ride!" Edward exclaimed, hopping into the passenger side.

I realized that I wasn't going anywhere until I at least gave it a test drive, so I opened the driver's side and started it. I was surprised by the quiet noise it made, because I was so used to hearing the roar of my truck. But I composed myself, and started driving out onto the dark street.

"I hope I don't crash. I can't see a thing," I said, clocking a grand total of about ten miles per hour. Edward's face was in his hand and he scowled, actually upset that we weren't going faster. Finally, after five minutes of 'torture', he instructed me to pull over and get out. I obeyed, and we switched sides.

"Please, please don't crash my new car," I pleaded, crossing my fingers as he stepped on the pedal.

"Don't you worry about me. You just sit here and watch how fast your new car can go."

My knuckles turned white as the dial slowly went up, indicating that we were going well past a hundred miles per hour now. Eventually, after deciding to close my eyes for the rest of the ride, Edward had concluded that he'd had enough fun and we were back at the house in no time. It was then that I saw a Wrangler, a Porsche, a Mercedes, a BMW, and a Volvo parked in the garage.

I practically ran into the main entry, where I was sure everyone would be. I was correct, and I instantly started hugging everyone, except Jasper and Rosalie. At least Jasper had given me a warm smile. Rosalie had given me a curt 'Hello' before going to sit on Emmett's lap. Apparently, all was back to the way it was.

We all had a chat, telling each other about each of the experiences we'd encountered on the way here, but after a while Carlisle walked up to me with a solemn look on his face.

"Bella," he said, his face serious. "It's time."

(CHAPTER OVER! No, just kidding. As if I'm going to end the chapter like that. It would be cruel! Anyhoo, back to the story...)

I looked over the faces of everyone in my new family, all of which had become completely serious as well. I turned slowly to Edward, who had his eyes closed and was taking deep breaths. When he finally opened them, he spoke very quietly.

"Are you sure you want to do this, Bella?" He asked, almost in a pleading voice. "After this, there will be no backing out. You will never be human again."

I nodded, but explained I would be right back and ran to the bathroom to have my last 'human moment' of my life. I looked at my reflection in the mirror, and told myself that I was ready, I could really do this. I thought of everything I would be giving up, but decided it all meant nothing compared to the privilege of spending the rest of forever with my beautiful, wonderful Edward. My love.

I walked out into the living room, where everyone was waiting. I sat down on the couch, and everyone seemed to have a strange a look in their eyes. Edward came to sit beside me, and he took my hand in his. Rosalie looked at me, shaking her head frantically. Alice was smiling, but her eyes looked sad. Esme just looked plain scared, and if she could cry, she probably would be doing so right now. Emmett was looking at me, the only one who seemed to be excited about all of this. Jasper was looking at me thoughtfully, his arm around Alice's waist. Carlisle was the only one without an odd look on his face. He just watched, his eyes curious.

"Are you ready, Bella?" Edward whispered, his fingers running up and down my neck.

"I' have never been more ready for anything in my life," I said with sincerity.

"I love you, my Bella," he said, and leaned his mouth down to my throat, grazing it. He kissed me there, softly, before he sunk his teeth into me.

(Ok, so that was a weeee little cliffhanger. Review, please! I read them all! xoxo-L)
