Cabin in Alaska-2006

I glanced at the sleeping angel in my arms and was overcome with emotion. The past few days had been the best of my life. Our wedding had been Saturday, and it went a lot better than expected. Alice forced Bella and me apart for twenty-four whole hours before the wedding. They were agonizing, but well worth it in the end. Bella was breathtaking as she walked up the aisle toward me.

Her dress was amazing. It was old-fashioned with lots of lace and a long train behind it. It had been long-sleeved, and the bodice was done in an elegant lace pattern. Her gorgeous brunette locks had been gently curled and were flowing around her face. Alice had kept her make-up light, but she was glowing with a natural light. I could tell that she was almost ready to pass out, but thankfully she made it through the whole service and reception.

Alice had beautifully designed our wedding. I was surprised to notice that it had been done in more of our style than Alice's. She had chosen a deep blue and a muted gold for our colors. Alice, Rosalie, and Angela were in blue dresses with gold stripes around their waists. Jasper, Emmett, and Ben were in black tuxes with blue and gold patterned ties. The decorations around the church were simple but elegant. I liked it and knew Bella did too.

It was the happiest moment of my life when the preacher announced that I could kiss my wife. My wife, Mrs. Edward Cullen, Bella Cullen. Renee was in tears, and Charlie looked as though he was going to follow. Bella teared up seeing them, and we ran over to the tent erected next to the church. The reception took place there, and it was nothing short of amazing as well.

Bella danced without tripping even once, not that I would let her, all night. We did the champagne ad the cake without incident as well. Alice caught the bouquet, and Emmett, of course, got the garter. All of the guys wanted me to pull it off with my teeth, but I politely declined. Too soon, it was over, and Bella and I were off on our honeymoon. Bella was pleasantly surprised when she found out we were flying to Alaska rather than driving.

The flight didn't last long. Bella and I didn't talk me; we didn't need to. We were one of the few in first class, so Bella occupied my lap almost the whole way. She felt perfect in my arms, and I was glad that she was now mine forever.

The plane landed, and I drove us home. It was a good-sized cabin with three bedrooms. I gave her a quick, and she loved it. I brought the bags in, and we parted to get ready for our wedding night. I was ready but slightly nervous. I mean, I had been a virgin for 105 years. Need I say more?

Those fears were silenced as soon as she stepped back into our room. Her lingerie was blue and very see-through. The one word I can say to describe our wedding night was bliss. Pure bliss. That continued for a while until she fell asleep in my arms. The next day was spent in pretty much the same fashion. Today was not to be the same; it was the day I had agreed to change her.

I was very glad that she had chosen to stay with me forever, but there were tons of things I was going to miss. The blush I loved to see creep across her cheeks. The warmth of her skin as I pressed her closer to mine. The scent of her blood that was so sweet to my nose. And most of all, those chocolate brown eyes that expressed all that she thought. I expected her eyes to stay expressive, but they would never be the same color.

She began stirring as the sun came up. She apparently had a dreamt a lot about me the night before as my name had come up a lot. Bella opened those beautiful eyes and looked into mine before giving me a kiss. "Good morning, Edward."

"Good morning, love. Did you sleep well?"

Her features took on a beautiful smile as she responded, "Yes. All my dreams were about you."

"I heard that." A blush stole across her cheeks, and I had to reach down and kiss them. I really was going to miss that. "Are you ready for today?"

Her eyes took on a confused look that changed to recognition as she shot up into a sitting position. "I had forgotten," Bella said in a strained voice.

I was in front of Bella with her face in my hands in a heartbeat. "You don't have to do this if you don't want to. I'm sure my family and I can handle the Volturi."

"No, I want to do this. I'm not worried about the Volturi. I want to spend eternity with you." Her eyes and tone of voice shone with determination.

"Okay. Slip into some comfortable clothing, and I'll talk to you about it."

"Would you like to help me get dressed?" There was a seductive smile on her face.

"I'll be right back. Don't move." I rushed off to our bags and got out one of my black button-up shirts. I got back, and Bella was in the same position as she had been when I had left just a second ago. She lay back down, and I picked her up with one hand while using the other hand to slip the shirt around her shoulders. I did every button as slow as I could, lingering at every one.

"What will happen?" Her tone was serious, a striking contrast from the bright, laughing mood she had been in a moment earlier.

"Carlisle and I talked about how to make your change go faster. You don't have any injuries, so it shouldn't talk as long as my family's were anyway. To make the venom spread faster, I will bite your neck, wrists, and ankles. That should also quicken the pace. Don't worry, I'll be here the entire time."

"I'm not worried. As long as I see you when the pain is gone, I'll be fine." Bella snuggled into my arms. I held her against my chest for several minutes. Then she sighed and sat up.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes. Are you?" Her eyes searched mine.

"Yes. Lay back down." Bella did, and I could see she was still nervous but certain. I kissed her passionately, leaving her breathless. "I love you, Bella. Don't ever forget that."

"I won't, and I love you too. Edward, bite me." Bella added a touch of sarcasm to lighten the mood slightly.

"Gladly." I reached down and sunk my teeth into her neck. She flinched as I took in some of her blood. It was the sweetest blood I had ever tasted. The same happened at each wrist and ankle. I looked up and saw Bella struggling not to scream. Her eyes were filled with pain. I swiftly gathered her into my arms and rocked her back and forth. Her body went limp, and I knew she had passed out. I only prayed that this would go quickly.

After a few hours, Bella started moaning my name. I kept talking to her and kissing her head. Bella's misery didn't last long by ending the next day. I heard her heart slow to a stop and watched her eyes flicker open.

"Edward. Is it finally over? Am I a vampire?" Bella's eyes were a fiery red, and her features were sharper.

"Yes, you are." My voice had a tinge of sadness, but overall, I was happy. Bella was finally going to be mine, forever.

"Oh, Edward." She threw her arms around my neck, and I held her tighter knowing she wasn't breakable.

"Do you have any questions?"

"Yes. Why are you still a little sad?"

I was surprised. I thought I had hidden it well. "How did you know?"

"I don't know. I just knew. I think it has to do with me being a vampire. That much I'm sure of." I noticed I still couldn't hear her thoughts.

"Can you hear my thoughts?"

She hesitated, then answered, "No."

"Can you feel my emotions?"

"Not really. I just know you are just a little sad about me being a vampire. Why?"

"I'm going to miss a few things about you being human. Like your blush, your warmth, the color of your eyes…"

"Oh yeah! Can I see myself?"

"Go ahead." I motioned for her to go. I followed, hoping her reaction wouldn't be the same as Rosalie's. Bella stood motionless in front of the bathroom mirror. Her eyes were wide in wonder. "Are you okay?"

She appeared startled as though she had only just realized I was there. "Yes. I'm just a little shocked. Besides the eyes, I look beautiful."

I wrapped my arms around her from behind and looked at her in the mirror. "You were always beautiful, Bella."

"Not like this," and she pointed at herself in the mirror.

Something else came to my mind, "Bella, how do you remember anything? I couldn't even remember who I was right after the change."

"I thought about you the entire time. It kept me sane, so I remembered anything. Thank you for holding me. I felt it at the beginning and end." Bella kissed me and immediately grasped her throat afterwards.

"That's the thirst. Get dressed. I'm going to take you hunting." She disappeared and was back in a flash wearing jeans and a long-sleeved black shirt of her own.

"Wait. How long did it take?"

"Only a day. I was glad; I hate to see you suffer."

"Wow, that was fast."

"Yeah. Come on. It's time to teach you about hunting."

I took Bella out into the woods surrounding our cabin and told her the finer points of hunting. She caught several animals and drained them dry. Then I taught her how to clean up after herself. To make everything look natural. It was a great way to start our lives together. I had my wife, my soul mate for all of eternity. I couldn't be happier. I guess there was someone for me.
