I woke up still on top of Edward with him still inside of me.
I blushed. "Good morning." I smiled down at Edward and tried to get off of him.
"Don't you dare." Edward growled. "I've waited four years to have myself inside you again and I don't want to remove myself now it's too soon." He whined.
I laughed and kissed him hard.
To my surprise Edward deepened the kiss just like last night and I felt him harden inside me. He had never tried to seduce me before.
We'd only had sex twice before last night. The first time we talked about it before and he was very careful, plus he had to break my barrier so I was in pain for half of the time. The second time had been inside my house while my dad was on a fishing trip with Billy and I had seduced Edward with lingerie and a blow job before he gave in to the seduction.
This time was unlike any of the others it was fast and even though I liked going slow I like fast as well.
"FASTER!!" I couldn't help but scream. "What the hell is vampire speed for!?"
Edward complied and went at vampire speed. I had never felt anything like it, I orgasmed multiple times before we stopped.
I looked over at Edward who had this goofy grin on his face. We both said "wow" at the same time and laughed. Edward grabbed me around my waist and pulled me closer to him. "You should know that two vampires have joined our coven and one of them is my twin."
"What? I didn't know you had a twin. That's great!"
"Yea it really is his name is Ethan. Right before my family got the influenza Ethan went missing apparently his girlfriend at the time Lisa had been changed and even though she was a newborn she went and told him everything and he asked her to change him even though he knew he would be leaving his family and everything but he wanted to be with her." He smiled and I knew he was truly glad to be reunited with his brother.
"That's really great I'm happy for you Edward. I can't wait to meet him."
"At the moment him and the rest of the family are talking about us and our….activities last night. They made a bet and since I feel like letting Ethan and Emmett win and I can't keep my hands off of you I suggest we go take a shower."
He pulled me into his arms and ran at vampire speed to the bathroom.
45 minutes later
Edward carried me down the stairs bridal style and into the living room where the rest of the family was seated.
Emmett and a boy that looked exactly like Edward but just a little younger were laughing and the rest of the family were scowling at them. Alice looked extremely confused and Edward laughed at her.
"Alice you didn't win the bet!? You always bet on the right side."
Alice looked at Edward and me and scowled. "Well Edward must have changed his mind because I'm on the wrong side."
"What did you see?" I didn't want to ask because I knew the answer would cause me to blush more but that was okay I wanted to know.
"You and Edward never leaving the room all day and not coming down stairs until tomorrow morning when you couldn't take not eating anything anymore." She laughed when she saw my blush.
"Well Bella this is my brother Ethan and his mate Lisa. Ethan can change the weather just like Garth and Lisa can age people but she can only age humans once and vampires multiple times. Guys this is Bella." I smiled and held out my hand to Lisa and went to do the same to Ethan but he pulled me into a hug.
"I've never seen my brother so happy even when he was human he was incomplete and I know that if he had survived the influenza and stayed human he would forever feel incomplete without you. So thank you for being there and loving him."
He pulled away and sat down again beside Lisa. Edward came up behind me and pulled me into the kitchen so I could eat.
Before we reached the kitchen I was tackled to the ground with Edward by our two children.
"Mommy! Daddy! Can we please go to the zoo today!!" They both yelled at the same time it was like they practiced or they had that thing some twins have where they do the same thing at the same time I don't know but it was funny.
I looked at Edward and he was looking at me he nodded slightly and I turned back to the children "Yes I guess so."
"Can we go too?" Emmett yelled. I heard a smack. "What was that for." I heard him whisper.
"They want to go as a family you idiot!" Alice whispered back.
Edward was up from the floor before I had a chance to even move and picked me up. "Lets go out to breakfast then we'll go to the zoo. You two go upstairs shower and change."
Edward ran up the stairs at vampire speed but not before I heard Emmett yell "Keep it down up their Eddy and make it fast or else the kids will be done before you two are!"
I laughed when we reached the room but my laughter was cut short when Edward kissed me passionately.
When we broke apart he seemed reluctant. "I want nothing more then to keep going but we got to get ready for our first family day. Later tonight after we get back from the zoo I have a surprise for you!" He kissed me again then went to his bag and got clothes out for himself so I went to my closet and got out a pair jeans and a blue sweater that used to be one of Edward's favorites.
At first I was embarrassed to be changing in front of Edward but also excited it wasn't like before he left when we were having sex we never changed in front of each other he always left or I went to the bathroom but now we even showered together.
I couldn't wait to spend the rest of my life with Edward. Wait would I spend the rest of my life with him. I could age and he couldn't we would remain different ages and I would die and even if he followed after me soon I would still be old enough to be his great grandmother and that would be weird! I would have to talk to Edward about this later.
We made our way downstairs and waited for the kids and when they finally came down we went to ihop in Edward's new Volvo.
The kids both had the chocolate smiley faced pancakes and I had banana-strawberry pancakes. Edward sat beside me and kept smiling at me and the kids and making faces at the kids food but when he looked at mine he laughed.
"What?"
"Your food smells a little like you because you use strawberry shampoo. I wonder if I tried some if it would taste like you?" His eyes sparkled with enjoyment and I blushed at just thinking about what he was thinking. "Can I try some?"
"Um…If your sure I don't want you to have to throw it up later." I put some on my fork and fed it to him. It was the first time I had seen Edward eat besides that once when he took a bite of my pizza junior year. Watching his face was hilarious first he looked excited then disgusted and finally confused.
"Well how did it taste?"
"Give me just the strawberry sauce…please?" I put some on my finger this time and he licked it off and smiled.
"I can actually taste the strawberries! They used to be my favorite food you know that's probably why its my favorite scent and why I can still taste it. I have to talk to Carlisle but if I can eat strawberries I don't care if I have to barf it up every time afterwards there so good they taste just like they used too when I was human. They also taste like you but your still better." I laughed and got an idea I scooped up strawberry sauce and put it on my lips then kissed Edward.
He laughed on my mouth but then moaned as we got carried away and soon his tongue was licking my bottom lip begging for entrance and I gladly opened for him but was interrupted a few minutes later when the waitress came back and coughed.
I looked up at her and she looked shocked and embarrassed. "Sorry to…interrupt but um…would you like anything else?" "No thank you." "Okay well here's your check." She walked off rather fast and I smirked at her retreating figure.
"Kids you done?"
"Yes thanks dad!" They both said at the same time it was really starting to get weird but that's okay I liked it.
"Okay well lets head out and get to the zoo! I've never been." His eyes once again shined with excitement.
Edward paid the bill then we walk out of the restaurant each holding hands with one of the kids and our other hands intertwined.
When we got to the zoo it was almost noon but we didn't care we still had a lot of fun.
Edward would growl sometimes at the animals and they would growl back and some would even jump at the glass to even try to get to Edward and he would laugh.
When we got to the mountain lions I saw Edwards eyes grow a little dark but he still messed around with them and growled and they reacted like most of the animals and tried to pounce on Edward threw the glass I was watching them reacted when I felt a breeze and Edward was gone I looked threw the glass and there he was, swiping at a mountain lion.
The animal swiped back and I saw Edward laughing. I had asked him once if I would ever see him hunt and he told me no that it was too dangerous but I had a feeling that he acted a lot like he was at that moment. Taunting the mountain lion seemed to really enjoy Edward and I couldn't help but laugh.
He had never been this carefree before with me and I really enjoyed it. He ran up to the glass where I was standing and smiled my favorite crooked smile. He put his hand up to the glass and I put mine up against it. I smiled but that faded when I saw the mountain lion behind him. My eyes widened and Edwards did too then he turned around so quick that I didn't even see it.
The lion attacked and Edward was under him. I knew I couldn't scream because people would hear and run to see what was happening and that would be bad. It would be extremely hard to explain how Edward was alive when he was attacked or if he died how he had no blood in his body.
I kept my mouth shut and tried to see what was happening inside the glass cage. The children were too busy looking at the puma's to notice Edward.
It seemed to be going good until Edward swiped at the lion to get him off of him and he drew blood.
Before I even knew it Edward pounced on it and it looked like he broke the lions neck then kissed it. I knew he wasn't actually kissing the lions neck he was actually draining it of its blood.
I knew I should be disgusted or scared but I wasn't. I was only worried that someone would walk in and see Edward sucking the blood out of the mountain lion or thinking about what would happen when the staff found the dead lion with its blood drained from its body.
Edward must have finished because he tossed the lion aside and started heading for another one. I knew that I had to stop him or else he would kill another one and that would be bad.
I ran to a door that was beside the glass cage and hoped it was for the lions and not any of the other animals. I opened it and stepped inside there were 5 doors; 2 to my right, 2 to my left, and one at the end of the hall way. I opened the first door to my left and ran inside.
It was the right door alright. I knew the glass was sound proof so I yelled "Edward!" He didn't even flinch he was about to attack his second lion when I had another idea.
I picked up a close by rock and sliced my wrist. It hurt like hell but I knew it would distract Edward; I was right. I was alone one second the next Edward was by my side. His eyes were blacker then I had EVER seen. I trust Edward and I knew he would never hurt me but if there was ever a time to be scared it would be now.
"Edward we have to go before someone comes and sees us in here and then it clicks together when they find the dead lion with no blood left in its body. Now get your ass out of there!" I grabbed his hand and we ran back to the kids who were now talking about the puma's.
"Bella! You aren't like….scared or even grossed our?" I looked at him incredulous. He looked so sad.
"No Edward I'm not. I also know that I should've been but I wasn't and still aren't. I know you could never hurt me, you love me too much. I trust you Edward. I also love you more then anything in this world."
"Your serious? You don't mind that I just attacked and sucked dry a mountain lion!?" I laughed I couldn't help it.
"No. Do you remember the first time I asked you about hunting? We were in the cafeteria and it was the first day at school that I knew that you were a vampire. I asked you If I could ever see you hunt and you reply 'No! Its too dangerous' later I asked why and you asked 'You really want to know? Well when we hunt our senses take over and if you were anywhere near me….' You never finished that sentence Edward. I know why because the thought of killing me was unbearable to you even though we had just met and we weren't dating yet. You still loved me so much that you couldn't even think about killing me. You would never hurt me and I knew that so I went in there before you killed another lion. One is already enough."
EPOV
I just stood there. Bella didn't care that I had just sucked the lion dry!? She didn't care that I had put her life in danger?
She was amazing, the women of my dreams. I already knew she was but this just made it more crystal clear.
I knew that tonight would go perfect because if she saw me hunt and kill a mountain lion then she would love me forever and I knew everything would work out alright in the end.
"So what did you think?" She laughed.
"I was fascinated by you!" I beamed. "Your so graceful that you make killing a mountain lion look beautiful!"
She really liked it when I hunted. Maybe now that I know I would never hurt her while I was hunting I could hunt in front of her again. Maybe tonight I could hunt I wonder if she would like that? "Would you like to see me hunt again? Maybe even tonight?" I couldn't help it I was excited.
Though I never told Bella I always wanted her to see all sides of me. Now she had. She saw me as human as I could be, a father, a lover, a fighter, and just this morning we dressed in front of each other. That was the most amazing experience. Sure we had had sex four times before that but we had never actually looked at each other. When we had sex we saw each other but we never took the time to appreciate what we saw, and Bella definitely need to be appreciated!
"Yes! You would let me watch you hunt now?" She seemed so excited she absolutely glowed and for a second I considered taking her back to the mountain lions and hunt on them with her watching.
"Yes I would. I now know that I wouldn't hurt you sense you came in there while I was hunting and I didn't need to control myself that badly from killing you. By the way that stunt was real stupid Bella! Oh God I'm a horrible boyfriend! I haven't even looked at your arm. I didn't even notice it was bleeding I mean I smelled the blood but it doesn't affect me anymore. Let me see."
I had been so stupid I had completely forgotten she had cut herself to distract me from killing another lion. The wound was shallow and small. I knew we couldn't go to the staff because when they find the dead lion they will put 2 and 2 together and assume Bella had caused it.
"Lets get back so we can take care of that. Then, sorry love, but you got to get ready for tonight's surprise and I asked Alice to help out."
Bella stopped in her tracks with a horrified look in her eyes. "YOU DIDN'T!!" people started looking at us I knew I needed to calm Bella down.
"Please Bella. Trust me it'll be worth while. Also this is like the second to last time I will force Alice to help you get ready for something. After tonight and the one other night that has already been decided you can tell her no and you don't have to let her do anything deal?" She looked uncertain but nodded her head.
We got back to the Volvo and drove home in silence I knew Bella was still upset with me but I had to touch her. I grabbed her hand and kissed the palm before holding it. She tensed at first but then relaxed to my touch.
We got home a little after 3 and Bella was immediately taken by Alice, who knew what I had planned for the night and was also the only one who did.
I decided now would be a good time to tell Carlisle about the strawberries. I found him in the living room with the rest of the family besides Bella and Alice.
"Carlisle you won't believe what happened today. You know how I love Bella's scent and how she smells like freesia and strawberries? Well I finally think I understand. When I was human I adored strawberries. I ate them everyday and I don't remember many memories from my past but 9 out of 10 of them I was eating strawberries."
"Yea he's telling the truth. I remember most of my human life and he adored strawberries. Mom used to scold him for sneaking up at night and eating them. Edward was a boy and acted like one but I swear to god I'm not lying he planted his own strawberry garden." Everyone cracked up at that and I could hear Alice upstairs laughing as well.
"Okay stop! This is serious so now I know why Bella is my singer because she smells like strawberries and I loved them when I was human. Well this morning for breakfast Bella had banana-strawberry pancakes and I started wondering what I would taste if I tasted the strawberries so I decided to try some. Carlisle I could taste them! They tasted just like they did before, when I was human! I don't care if I have to throw them up after I eat them I'm going to start eating them daily!"
Carlisle looked confused then shrugged and went into the kitchen. He came back with a bowl of strawberries and my mouth filled with venom.
"God I want the damn strawberries now! The emotions coming off of him are worse the bloodlust from a newborn." Jasper looked at me pleadingly and I jumped off the couch and ran to the strawberries.
They were gone in a matter of 8 seconds.
I turned around and everyone gasper. "What?" Esme pointed to a mirror and I looked at myself.
I gasped too. My eyes weren't the topaz as usual or even the onyx of thirst they were bright green. They were my original eye color!
"I think your right Edward. This must be another trait from your human life. You loved strawberries so much that you even love them now. Have you thrown up the strawberry you ate earlier?" I shook my head. "I don't think you will ether. Strawberries are like blood to you. Better then blood its almost like Blood is the food and the strawberries are the desert for you."
My eyes started becoming topaz again and everyone started laughing. "What's it this time?"
Edward only you would love strawberries- Emmett"Ewww! I just had a vision of you and Bella tonight Edward and I know your packing strawberries!" Alice hollered down the stairs causing everyone to laugh harder.
I decided to start getting things ready for tonight and went off in search of more strawberries…
BPOV
"Yes Edward is now in love with strawberries. When he was human he had his own strawberry garden and his mother scolded him all the time because he would sneak out at night just to eat them!"
I couldn't believe it! Edward loved strawberries that much.
Alice stopped doing my hair and I looked up to see her eyes glazed over.
"Alice what is it?" I asked calmly.
"Ewww! I just had a vision of you and Bella tonight Edward and I know your packing strawberries!" Alice hollered.
I knew she was talking to Edward and I couldn't help but blush. Tonight would be an amazing night, that was for sure.
I spent the next few hours with Alice doing and redoing my hair only to redo it when she found something else to add to my outfit.
I wore blue and yellow plaid mini skirt with tights under it and black knee high boots that I knew I would trip on sooner or later. My top was a long sleeved blue shirt that cut off really low and showed the little cleavage I had. Alice said it would be a little cold tonight so she gave me a thick blue sweater.
My hair was half up half down and the down part was curled. It looked perfect.
There was a knock on the door and suddenly Alice was gone. I opened up the door and there stood Edward in blue jeans and a yellow shirt. The yellow went great with his skin and I found that yellow was my new favorite color on Edward.
"Madam." He offered me his hand and I took it and giggled.
The next think I knew I was in his arms and he was kissing me passionately like he was a drunkard who was separated from there alcohol for a long time and needed it desperately.
We broke apart and Edward scooped me into his arms and we were running, or rather he was running while he was carrying me.
When Edward stopped I looked around and gasped. We were in our meadow and it had just turned Twilight.
There was a big blue blanket in the middle of the meadow, with strawberries and other various foods placed on it.
The whole place was covered in red candles besides where we walked it. There was an archway with freesia on it. We slowly walked into the meadow towards the blanket with the food on it.
Edward sat down and pulled me in his lap then kissed me and soon it turned into a full out make out. "You need to eat." He sounded breathless and I couldn't even speak.
I turned towards the food and was about to eat the strawberries when Edward stopped me. "Nope those are for last. I get to eat those with you!" He started laughing and I picked up the only plate there and it held steak, mashed potatoes, and garlic bread. The whole thing was gone in under 30 minutes. Edward and I talked about what we had been doing recently and about the kids. We swapped stories about each one while I ate my caesar salad.
Finally we got to the strawberries and I picked one up and put it in Edwards mouth. Before I could blink it was gone. "Where did it go?" He smirked and pointed at his belly. I laughed.
That's when I noticed his eyes were not topaz or black they where instead a bright green.
I grinned. I couldn't help it. I loved Edwards eyes. Before when he told me his eyes were actually green and I wondered what Edward would look like with green eyes and I thought that he would never look better then he did with topaz. Boy was I wrong seeing Edwards eyes turn green made me hungry for something else.
I kissed him with all my might and he kissed me back. I no longer was surprised I even expected that when I kissed Edward that he would kiss me harder right back.
He pulled away all too soon though. "We can do that later but for now lets eat these!" Before I could respond there was a strawberry in my mouth. I decided that I wanted Edward right then and now and I was going to get him so I moved my hand to hold on to the strawberry and bit into it the smallest bit making juice dribble down my mouth to my chin before I could take another bite Edwards tongue had replaced the strawberry and he was licking the juice off my lips.
I took advantage of this and kissed him.
"Dammit!" he yelled. I was surprised he seemed really annoyed.
I instantly felt rejection when I realized he didn't want me to kiss him or even touch him. I tried getting off his lap but he pulled me right back and kissed me.
He pulled away though. "Bella, love, the reason I'm annoyed is because I can't keep my hands off of you and I want to do something first before I touch you again."
Edward stood up and pulled me to my feet then got down on one knee.
Oh my god was all I could think. He couldn't be doing what I thought he was doing could he? Edward pulled out a ring from his pocket and held it out to me.
"Isabella. I love you with everything I have in me. I made the awful mistake of leaving you because I thought you would be better off and I ended up hurting you but you still went and saved me and forgave me. Then I made another stupid mistake and left you again hoping I could give you and Garth a normal life. You still saved and forgave. Before you say you didn't save me this time you did. For the past 4 years I've been so different I've raised our daughter but something has been missing and I knew right away what it was. I was going to go find you but Alice said she saw you with Jacob and you looked happy and she thought you had moved on and loved him.
"That's another mistake I took her word for it when I should have said screw that I'm going after my woman! God Bella I love you and I know that you want me to change you and I know now that I will have too. I couldn't be with you and watch you die I would follow you afterwards and I know you wouldn't be happy so the only true way is to change you. Even though I never told you I secretly wanted to change you since I met you.
"Bella I love you so much and I want to be with you forever and I also want to raise our children together and I want to make love to you every chance I can get and take you hunting with me so we can make more memories.
"Bella I want to marry you. I wish I could give you more children so I can be there this time through the pregnancy but I can't. Bella I understand if you don't want to marry me because of what I am or I've hurt you too much but please will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
I just stood there staring at him letting It all sink it. "Edward Cullen that was the longest marriage proposal I have EVER heard and one of the corniest but by God I love you and I can't live without you ether. I've tried but it was getting so hard and I would still cry myself to sleep. Alice was right I was with Jake for maybe a week and even then I knew it wouldn't last long because I loved you so damn much. Yes Edward I will marry you!"
I threw myself into his arms and this time neither of us held back as we made love in our meadow. This was the first place we had ever tried as well.
About 2 hours later I was about to fall asleep when I remember something. "Edward you never let me see you hunt."
