A/N: Hey guys. Thanks for the continuing support and well wishes. EPOV will be in the next chapter. Big thanks to Secretes Untold for pointing out a typo. The house is $189,000. Very long, with no lemons. Sorry. Please read, review and enjoy!

"Well, this, my dear, is the living room." He made a wide ring with his arm out stretched. The walls of the room where paneled in knotty pine. Plush white carpet lay across the floor. Opposite of the front entry way was the faux fireplace that was radiating heat. Above that was a plasma TV. To the left of the fire place was a stair case. The left wall of the room was filled with large windows, and a cascade of winter sunlight hit a beautiful red polished grand piano. On the opposite wall was the love seat, it's back facing the entry way, and a long sofa formed a V, both in red leather.

He lead me to the arch at the right of the fire place. This brought us to a beautiful modern kitchen, with black marble countertops and stainless steal appliances. Four barstools sat around a tall island. "The kitchen." He motioned again. We walked to the right into a beautiful dining room with a glossy, black, rectangular table and eight high backed black chairs. Crystal chandeliers on the celling made intricate patterns of light on the surfaces of the room.

"It's beautiful." I mumbled. He pulled me into his arms and kissed my forehead.

"Not nearly as beautiful as you are my love." I turned back around and saw a big door on the other side of the kitchen.

"What is that?" I asked.

"Oh, nothing. Just the garage. Come on, lets go see the upstairs." I could hear the underling tone in his voice, and could tell he was trying to distract me. Regardless, I let him lead me around the fireplace and up the beautiful wooden stairs. The hallway was paneled in knotty pine. The door on the right lead to a beautiful guest room done in bright yellows and oranges. The door across the hall was another guest room, with two beds, and done in simple black and white with contemporary, bold circles. In the "dot" room there was an attached bathroom in lavender. The main bath was across the hall next to the yellow room. It was emaculate white linoleum, with mirrors every where. Finally, he walked to the end of the hall and swung open a set of french doors.

Our bedroom had the most beautiful red carpeting I had ever seen. Sliding glass doors where on the north end of the room. I walked over and slid them open. I stepped out into the sunlight on an amazing deck. There was a wooden swing with blue cushions on it. I turned around to see Edward sparkling.

"Oh, Edward! It is so beautiful!" he came up form behind me and snaked his arms around my waist. He put his lips to my ear and softly whispered,

"No, my dear. Not as beautiful as you are." I turned and kissed him. I loved it when he did that to me. We where intruded by a light cough. I looked behind us to see Jasper standing in the door way.

"Alice has breakfast down stairs, Bella." He smiled, before turning on his heels and heading back down the stairs.

"Come, love. You need to eat … that is, unless you want to wait to do this." He raised an eyebrow in anticipation.

"Not a chance. I have known for too long what I have wanted. You said the vows your self. 'Forever and all time'. Now your stuck with me!" I teased. I shrieked as he swung me up into his arms and a sexy growl escaped his throat.

"Bella, if I had to be stuck with some one, I'm glad it was the most amazing, pig headed, stupidest, easily embarrassed woman in the world." He whisked me down stairs where we where met by his family.

Carlisle sat at one end of the table. To his left was Esme, with a huge plate of waffles sitting next to her. Alice sat across from Esme, and Jasper next to her. Edward pulled my chair out for me, and I sat down and dug in. Edward sat next to me and chuckled.

"Bella, while you eat, I'm going to explain what the next few hours are going to consist of." He waited and I nodded in agreement. " Right now, Rosalie and Emmet are in the Yukon getting the tent set up. That is where Emmett, Jasper and myself will be during the change, because Edward plans to undress you to soothe the 'fire' for lack of a better word. From here to the camp will be about two and one-half hours, going our speed of course. Once there we will wait another thirty minutes, then I will give you the morphine. It will be an extremely high dose. Twenty minutes after, Edward will bite you." I looked over at Edward, who cringed in pain ant the last four words. I grabed his hand and squeezed it tight. "Do you have any questions, Bella?" Carlisle asked, drawing my attention back to him.

"No. I have been ready for this since the first day in the meadow, when I discovered how much I really loved him. I'm ready."

The trip was a quiet unspoken one. We rode with Carlisle, Esme, Alice, and Jasper in Emmett's Jeep. The whole time, I sat on Edwards lap while he nuzzled my neck. Every now and then I would turn my head and look into his eyes, and we would kiss, deeply, until Jasper would ask us politely to calm down. When we got there, everyone left the Jeep but Edward and I.

"Bella," I looked up into his pained eyes. "Bella, are you sure? I …. I don't know how I could live with myself knowing that I -'' I cut him off with a kiss, and held it until I needed air.

"Edward, stop. You are not doing anything but proving how much you love me. I love you so much. I want to spend eternity with you. You are not taking my soul. I am giving you my soul. Every once of it." His face softened a bit, and he kissed me again.

There was a light tap at the window, and Carlisle opened the door and slid into the back seat with us, black leather bag in tow.

"Bella, are you ready?" he asked, in his doctor's voice, that I had learned well from all my hospital trips.

I nodded and held out my arm, then tucked my head in the crook of Edwards shoulder. I felt the alchohol swab against my arm, then the sharp pain of a needle. After a few seconds, he pulled the needle out and applied pressure with a cotton ball.

"Be back in twenty minutes." He said as he left the car.

I turned and kissed Edward. "I love you so much, Edward. Thank you." He faked a smile and kissed me again. He held me close in silence, until a knock on the window came again. He cradled me in his arms and we stepped out into fringed cold. We waked over to where everyone was standing. In turn, Carlisle, Emmett, and Jasper gave me a quick hug and retreated to the green tent two hundred yards away. Edward sat down on the frozen rock and held me in his arms.

I could feel the wind whipping my hair and face, but I couldn't feel the cold. Edward leaned down to kiss me.

"I love you Bella." He said.

"I love you too." I replied and gave him another kiss. He smiled a tiny bit then he kissed me deeply. He moved from my lips and trailed kisses up and down my neck. I felt his teeth plunge into my neck. The morphine dulled the pain, but the pain to come was unbelievable.

Fire coursed through my veins. I pulled close to Edwards chest and he began to undress me. The whole time muttering apologies. He held me close to him. His body helped me a little but soon I was unconscious.

An unknown time later I heard some one shouting.

"Carlisle, she stopped screaming! Is she okay?" the voice was like tiny bells, but I couldn't quite place it.

"That probably means that the change is finished. Edward, would you like me to come out there?" a mans voice asked. He was calm, in control. But if he was standing do close, why did he ask such a question.

"No, Carlisle. That's fine. She is still nude." I knew that voice. That was Edward. That was my husband. I took comfort in that and drifted off again.

"Sunny days have come and gone,

but lullaby's go on and on

They never die,

that's how my love for you shall be.

Good night my angel time to close your eyes

And save your questions for another day.

I think I know what you've been asking me.

I think you know what I've been trying to say." The voice singing was Edwards.

"I told you I would never leave you

And you should always know,

Where ever you may go

No matter where you are

I never will be far away." I sat up slightly. He stoped singing and kissed my forehead.

"My, lullaby … it has words?" I asked.

"Of course it does love. It always has. It was only sung so that you didn't realize it." I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.

"Thank you Edward. I love you so much." I would have been crying if it where possible. He kissed me deeper, and more passionately than he had ever before. There was no restraint, and with out a need for breath I readily obliged.

"Welcome back, Bella," Alice! That was the voice. I jumped up and hugged her. "It's nice to see you too, but how about we get you dressed." She giggled. It was then I noticed I was still naked.

Heads Up: I know for a fact that I am on 253 story alert lists. For the next chapter, which will be partially written in Edwards POV, if I do not receive at least 25 reviews, I will not be writing in that format again.
