Hello everyone!
First of all, let me apologize for not writing in a long time. I just got so busy with other things, and I lost some inspiration. However, all of your reviews and messages have not gone unnoticed. Those little blurbs from you have pushed me to continue writing, so I would like to give thanks to all of you who have done that. All is well now, however, and I am ready to continue!

So, ending on a happy not…Enjoy!

Aro continued to stare at us for what seems like days and days on end. However, looking at the clock, it had only been, at most, thirty seconds. His still has an astonished look on his face, but he seems to be concentrating very hard on something beyond his amused façade. He would open his mouth and close is frequently, before he finally composed himself and turned to face us once more.

"You two, are inconsiderably, the most intriguing of couples—vampire and human alike."

I looked at Edward, but his (my) face, looked strained, holding his lips into a tight line conveying no emotion. I swallowed, not knowing what else could be done. Aro surprised me by laughing all of a sudden.

"Well don't look scared children! Come, come! Tell me everything!" Aro exclaimed. His paper white and paper think features bending into some sort of a smile. "Of course, I already know what happened, however, I do not know how! This is truly fascinating, and I wish to know what you can tell me." He concluded with a smile.

Edward was quicker to react than I was. "You know as much as we do. We do not know how this happened, or why, except for the old legends told to us by Carlisle."

"Ah yes, I remember those legends clearly," Aro began, "We never thought they would be true! You confound us all."

I continued to stare straight ahead, still not knowing how to react. Aro knew, and as much as I wanted to be become a vampire, I wonder if Marcus will know. Will he find us? Are we all out of chances? As if answering my thoughts, Aro spoke.

"I see our little Bella is still human."

Edward just nodded once tightly. He grabbed my hand as if he expected to have to jump in front of me at any moment.

"Relax Edward," Aro coaxed, "I will not harm her, and however, you are lucky that I was the one to find you instead of Marcus or Felix. You do still intend on making her one of us, correct?"

Edward opened his mouth to answer, but a dainty little soprano voice from behind us answered before he could make a sound.

"As I said before Aro, the date is set," said Alice. Her words were as malicious as someone could be to the vampire royal family. Her strikingly beautiful face was pulled into a smile, but inside, it was impossible to miss her gloating. She knew that she had just saved Edward an explanation. In spite of everything that was happening, I could still smile at Alice's inner boasting.

"Ah ha ha! Alice my dear!" Aro exclaimed in surprise with a larger smile lighting us his face, "How long it has been! How are you my dear?"

Alice smiled and bowed her head appreciatively, "All is well Aro, I was just coming over to pay Bella a little visit; that seems to be a theme today."

Aro laughed. "It seems so. I was just in the neighborhood, coming to visit Carlisle, when I too came to visit Bella, and of course, wherever she is, Edward is bound to be nearby!"

Aro's booming laugh filled by ears and mind, there was nothing in my brain at this moment that could force me to say anything.

Alice interjected again, making the silences between us short and less intense. "However Aro, as you were inquiring, the date is set. There is no need to panic; she will become one of us soon." Alice smiled in my direction.

Edward tightened beside me. He did not smile, move or breathe. While Alice and Aro began to chatter about nonchalant things, I nudged Edward.

"You may not have to breathe in your body, but you do have to in mine!" I smiled.

Edward relaxed out of his face and kissed my forehead.

"I'm sorry; things have been a little stressful today."

I chuckled to myself and leaned into him.

"No different than any other day, Edward."

I felt his laughter, as his body moved. "Too true Bella. It's just especially excruciating when I know that I have no resources to save you! It's driving me insane! How I managed to live as a human for 17 years is beyond me."

I couldn't help laughing a little louder, and it did not go unnoticed by Aro and Alice.

They broke apart from their conversation and stared at us.

Aro smiled, "See now! There is the Bella I wanted to see! Laughing! I'm glad to see that you have relaxed."

Edward tightened his arm around me as Aro walked towards us.

"I have enjoyed this little visit tremendously. It is a shame I can't stay longer, but I look forward to seeing you next time Bella. I am so impatient to see what is yet to come!" He laughed at winked at me. "Now I must leave you. Apparently Jane is having some trouble with some newborns. It is a shame I didn't get to see Carlisle; give him my regards."

"Of course," Alice and Edward murmured in unison.

"And I think I shall use the door this time Bella," he laughed, "I truly am sorry."

I smiled, "No problem at all Aro. Thank you for stopping by."

His was still laughing as he walked out the door and I could still hear it as it seemed to transform into wind as he ran.

I went to the door and locked it, turning around to face Alice and Edward.

Edward and I took deepbreaths, imagining what could have happen in worse situations.

Alice skipped over to kiss my cheek, and looked back at Edward. "Alice: 2, Edward," She laughed. "This is the second time I've saved your butt Edward, do you have anything to say for yourself?" she concluded with a devilish smile on her face.

Edward chuckled, seemingly in higher spirits, and bowed his head in appreciation.

"Thank you Alice…again."

She laughed in triumph and skipped to unlock the door.

"It's time to go share this story with the others."

Hope you enjoyed it!
