The change

Author's Notes: Sorry about not having this typed up and ready, it's been hand written for a little while, but it was my husband's birthday last week so I was busy spending time with my love.

The Change:

It was time, she'd done what he'd asked and married him, now he had to fill his part of the bargain. It was hard for him to do this.

He wanted his Bella, with him forever, but he didn't want to damn her soul. He really didn't want to risk her soul, but he didn't want to live without her either.

She looked at him with her beautiful brown eyes sad as they gazed at the anguish he knew was in his eyes and expression.

"Shh..." he said, before she could say his name. "It's time."

He cradled her in her arms and bit her neck. Her blood was heaven and bliss, the monster within him was euphoric. He wanted to rage out of control and drink it all, but he suppressed the monster by focusing on the part of him that was still man, the part of him that was cradling the love of his existence in her arms.

He pushed as much of his venom as he could into her and stopped drinking pushing himself away, and closing the wound.

She began to writhe in agony, biting her lips to keep from screaming. She was suppressing her screams because of him. His Bella wanted to prevent him pain.

He hummed her lullaby trying to take her mind of the pain which he knew was excruciating.

"Edward..." she whimpered.

"Shh... I'm here love," he whispered, "I'll never leave you."

Three days went by in that fashion, only once did Bella scream out loud a piercing keening shriek that tore Edward's heart in two.

Her heartbeat was slowing, and Edward felt a sense and emptiness when it finally let out it's last beat. The transformation was complete, never again would he see her blush, or listen to her heart skip beats whenever he kissed her.

Her eyes opened and the red eyes of a newborn vampire stared calmly at him.

Was it still Bella? Did she still love him?

"Of course it's still me and I love you so very much! You are the love of my existance!" she exclaimed, throwing her arms around him enthusiastically and knocking her to the ground with her new strength.

I didn't say that aloud, he thought as he took in the changes the venom had made to her body.

"I'm a mind reader then?" she asked.

She hugged him tightly and kissed him throughly. Not having to quit a kiss because he wanted to drink her dry was an enjoyable change.

"No regrets Edward," she said, when they broke apart taking deep gasping breaths that they didn't need.

It might have been selfish to change her so that he could keep her with him forever but Edward knew that he'd never regret it. She was still his Bella.

Her beautific smile reminded him that she could read his thoughts.

How unfair! He still couldn't read her mind but now she could read his?

Bella's laughter filled the room, and Edward vowed to learn how to block his thoughts, as she told him, "Hasn't anyone told you that life is unfair?"
