Two chapters in one day! I've impressed myself...

I'll make the note short this time.

I just wanted to say that today, I was hit with a sudden stroke of literary genious (very uncharacteristic) and I now have the PERFECT plot to this story. I'm so proud of myself!!

Waking up the next morning was unlike anything I had ever experienced. I saw everything in a new light. The world seemed brighter. I vaguely remembered having that mysterious dream again but I still couldn't remember what it was about. But I didn't care. Edward was kissing my neck gently. I was lying in his arms under the covers, completely naked, I might add. I blushed as I remembered everything that had happened.

I had a small bruise on my left shoulder from when Edward had gotten a little too rough, but regardless, the night was perfect. It had hurt at first, but only because it was my first time. I tried to convince him that it didn't matter, that I was ok, but he was still afraid that he had hurt me. He was crazy. It was the single best night of my life.

He noticed my blush and kissed both of my cheeks.

"Good morning, beautiful," he whispered. He had the biggest smile on his face and his eyes were lit up in happiness.

"Good morning," I said back, biting my bottom lip. I was still a little embarassed.

His smile faltered the slightest bit. "Are you ok?" There he goes again.

"Better than ok," I said giddily and he smiled hugely again.

"I love you too much for your own good," he said.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean, what do I mean. You just slept with a vampire," he teased, smiling. Suddenly he was gone, and I was alone in his room. But before I could blink in confusion, he was back, fully clothed in front of me, holding a tray with pancakes and maple syrup and orange juice. "Hungry?"

I pouted. "That's not fair," I mumbled, referring to his ability to put his clothes back on in a matter of milliseconds. Then, I felt kind of a little gust of wind, and all of the sudden, I was sitting up with all of my clothes on and the tray in my lap.

"That's not fair either!" I yelled, hitting him in the shoulder playfully. Of course, it hurt me more than it hurt him.

I ate the meal gratefully, and he sat across from me, watching. Slowly, his grin began to fade until he looked troubled. I looked at him, puzzled, when I had finished my pancakes.

He took the tray out of my lap and set it down next to him. He looked back at me with a grave expression. He was so moody, it made me laugh sometimes. But something in his eyes kept humor out of my mind.

"I have to change you today, love," he said as an answer to my confused look. My heart sped up. With all of the things that had happened in the past day, I had totally forgotten about the change. He noticed my quickening heart rate.

"Are you sure, Bella?" he whispered.

"Yes," I answered simply. One, if I didn't change, the Volturi would kill me. Two, I had just married him. And three, I wanted to be a vampire. I wanted that more than anything, so that I could be with my soul mate for eternity.

"How could you think that this is the best thing for you?" he asked.

"Because what I want more than anything is to be with you, and the only way to do that is to become a vampire."

He sighed, and then his eyes flickered to the floor. Then, I heard talking from downstairs. "They're home," he whispered.

In seconds, the Cullen family filed through the open door of Edward's room one by one, all looking at me apprehensively. I smiled at each of them, to reassure them that I was certain about my decision.

Carlilse spoke first. "So Bella," he spoke softly. "Are you sure that you want this to happen?"

I wished that people would quit asking me that. I looked at Edward, who strangely, was looking at Rosalie, who in turn, was looking at me. I wondered what she was thinking. I turned back to Carlilse. "Yes."

"Bella, can I speak to you alone?" Rosalie asked abruptly.

Everyone looked startled, with the exception of Edward, who had already seen what was coming in her mind. It was no secret that Rosalie had an obvious disappointment with me and my decision, so it was a bit of a surprise to hear her ask a perfectly innocent question like this.

"Of, course," I answered, confused. I got up and followed Rosalie out of the door and into her and Emmett's room. I had never been in her room before, and it was breathtakingly sophisticated. The walls were pure white and there was a beautiful white leather couch in the corner. Unlike Edward's room, their were absolutely no windows. There was a mirror on each wall and I knew that she knew how beautiful she was. I wondered how often she looked in those mirrors.

She turned to me and spoke angrily. "Why are you doing this?" I wondered whether she remembered that they could probably hear every word that we were saying.

"Rosalie, I've already told you," I reasoned. "I love Edward, and I want to be with him forever."

"You don't understand what you are giving up," she countered. "You will never be able to sleep, eat, you won't be able to have children." I knew she would bring that up. She had made it pretty clear during our last private chat. It was her greatest regret that she was never able to have children.

I decided to try a different tactic. "Rosalie, can I try to explain this to you?"

"Please," she said smugly.

"Do you love Emmett?"

She blinked in surprise. She didn't expect that. "Yes," she said quietly, but with much emotion. I knew that she loved Emmett more than anything.

"Would you give him up to be human?" I asked.

She was silent. Her eyes were wide and she looked at the ground. Finally, after a few minutes, she looked back up at me. "I have never thought of it like that," she said softly.

"I love Edward more than anything," I said gently. "More than being human. I would give up anything to be with him."

After a few more seconds, she smiled brilliantly. "I still wish you would reconsider," she added hopefully.

"I'm in too deep, now," I joked. "This is what I want."

She strode over to where I was standing and have me a hug. I hugged her back awkwardly. "I will pray everyday that you don't have any regrets," she said. I began to tear up. Maybe she could begin to think of me as a sister after all.

"Thank-you, Rosalie," I whispered.

"We should get back. I think they're waiting for you."

My heart rate picked up again. I would be changed any minute now. It was a hard thing to swallow, knowing that this morning when I woke up was the last time I would ever sleep. This morning when I ate breakfast was the last time I would ever eat. These last few minutes will be the last of my human life, the last of the life that I was leaving behind. Did I have butterflies? Oh, yeah.

"Don't be nervous," she said tenderly. "It will be over soon."

We walked back to the room together, this time side-by-side. As we walked, I took in the sights of the beautiful house, the smells of the flowers decorating the Cullens' home, the sounds of my even breathing and my footsteps on the floor, the feel of the soft carpet on my bare feet. And as I walked into Edward's room, I took in the sight of the most beautiful people that I have ever met, my new family. Carlilse and Esme, Rosalie and Emmett, Alice and Jasper, and my husband, Edward. I was completely content. Just as I was when I was standing at the altar with Edward, and when he gave me what I wanted on our wedding night, and when I woke up this morning. I was happy, and I would be happy from this day to the end of eternity.

That's it for now! I'm happy to say that my writers block phase is over (YAY!) and I will be updating way more often (I know that I've said that before, but I mean it this time).

Hope you liked it! Push the little button and review!
