Soooooo…I suck at updating. My only excuse is that I have none. Here is an update though and I hope to update by the end of the month…I'll try, I promise.

"Human?"

"Heartbeat, lung function, twenty-three pairs of chromosomes. I don't understand it, but everything points to you being completely human."

I looked between Carlisle's confused face and Edward's scared one. I carefully took his warm hand in mine and stroked the back of it in as comforting of a way as I could. He looked up at me, his green eyes lost.

"Oh, Bella."

And he cried.

Edward Cullen cried.

I instantly pulled him into my arms, running a hand through his hair, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

His head shot up and his eyes met mine. "It worked. I can't believe it worked."

I felt his warm hands encompass my face as his lips descended to mine hungrily. I heard Carlisle clear his throat and Edward pulled away slowly from the kiss. He never broke his gaze at me as his father spoke.

"I'd still like to run some more tests, but I think that we've done enough for today. Would you like me to talk to the rest of the family, or would you like to?"

"Um, you can, dad. I think that we're gonna go up to my room for a little bit."

"Oh, I don't know-"

"Dad, don't you trust us?" Edward turned and looked at Carlisle with the most innocent face I had ever seen out of him.

"Alright, but remember, vampire hearing."

"Of course," he said nodding and smiling. He grabbed my hand and pulled me from my chair, dragging me out of the room and towards the stairs. He pushed me in front of him and then helped me climb the stairs quickly with him behind me.

"What I wouldn't give for super-speed right now," he mumbled. I blushed at the statement.

We reached his room and he closed and locked the door behind us. He turned and looked at me through lust filled eyes. "Come here." He led me to the couch and sat down close to me. "I just want to try one thing."

I blushed and smiled at him, nodding slightly. He brought his right hand up to cup my jaw and he slowly brought his lips down to mine. I felt lightheaded as his now warm lips molded to mine. The kiss became deeper quickly as his hand wrapped around to the back of my head. I felt his lips part and his tongue trace my lips. I parted them slightly and he took that as the sign to continue, slipping his tongue into my mouth. He tasted the same, but it was so different now that he had a heartbeat and was warm.

His left hand made its way around my waist, pulling me slightly closer to him. I pressed my tongue against his, fighting a little for dominance. He allowed it, so I pushed my tongue forward into his mouth for the first time. He moaned and I took that as a good sign to continue. I brought my hands up to either side of his face and turned so that we were facing each other more. Edward pulled on my waist again and I moved so that I could throw a leg over his, straddling his lap. Once situated, I pulled away to breathe quickly.

"God, you taste amazing," I breathed out.

"So do you, love, so do you." He smiled at me before attacking my lips again. He wrapped his arms around me tightly, running one hand up my back, pressing our chests together. I couldn't help but moan into the kiss.

I could feel Edward growing hard underneath me. I knew I might be pushing him too far now, but I had to know what his new boundaries were. I slowly started to grind against him. His fingers gripped my back and hip and he moaned and panted against my lips. When I felt him start to grind back against me, all my resolve went out the window.

Kissing. Biting. Groping. Moaning. Panting. Dry-humping. Falling on the floor as Edward runs out of the room.

What.

The.

Fuck.

I sat on the floor of his room, completely sexually frustrated, fighting to regain my breath, and trying to figure out what the Hell would make him run out of his room like he was on fire.

"Damn it!" I pounded my fist on the soft carpet beneath me before pushing myself off of the floor and towards the door of his room. I started down the hall where a rarely used bathroom was. The door was closed so I knew Edward had to be in there. I knocked lightly, "Edward?"

There was no response at first. I grabbed hold of the handle and prayed that it was unlocked. I turned the handle slightly and pushed the door forward, "Edward, love?"

"I'm so sorry," he said quietly as I entered the dimly lit room. He was sitting on the floor between the toilet and the tub, his bottom half wrapped in a towel.

"Are you okay, baby?" I sat down next to him and placed my hand gently on his knee.

He gave a half-hearted laugh and shook his head. "I was like some kind of teenager that couldn't control himself."

"Edward, you are a teenager. It's okay."

"No, it's not. Jesus, Bella, I came in my fucking pants. I mean, ugh," he dropped his head to his knees.

I gently ran my fingers through his hair, "Hey-"

"No, Bella. I just," he raised his head up to look at me. "I love you so much and I want to give you everything, but it seems like no matter how hard I try, there are just some things I can't do. I mean, before, I couldn't love you the way you wanted because I was too afraid to hurt you. Now, when I could be with you that way, I can't even hold it in long enough to do it. It's ridiculous."

"It takes time, Edward. We'll just have to…practice a lot." The hopeful look in my eyes probably betrayed the serious tone I was trying to have, but I didn't care. I really did hope for lots of practice.

He looked up at me and smiled before taking my hands in his and holding them over his knees. "Practice, huh? I think I might be able to go for that."

He started to pull me to sit in his lap, but as he did, his stomach growled loudly. I laughed and pulled him back towards me so we could both stand up. "I think you could also go for some breakfast. Why don't you go get dressed and I'll see what food is in the kitchen."

"Ok." He leaned down and kissed me chastely before heading towards his room. I took the stairs slowly, wondering what kinds of questions we'd encounter downstairs. When I reached the first floor landing, I noticed how eerily quiet it was. Even in a house full of stealthy vampires, it was rarely this quiet in here. I made my way into the kitchen and noticed a note lying on the island.

Bella & Edward,

We went out to hunt for the afternoon. The addition of another human in the house was quite unexpected and hunting became necessary for some of us. We should be back around nightfall. There should be enough food in the pantry for both of you to have breakfast and lunch. Rose and Emmett will go shopping on our way back tonight for you.

We love you both.

Esme

What Esme didn't say was that we didn't want to hear you two going at it for the first time. Leave the

house in one piece. –Em

Leave it to Emmett to make a kind note from Esme dirty. Besides, it's not like Edward hasn't had to listen to all of them having sex for years. Time for a little payback, in my opinion. I shrugged it off and made my way over to the fridge and, pulling the door open, and scrounging for some of the food Esme always kept on hand for me.

I pulled out some eggs, bacon, and a carton of milk before struggling towards the counter with the load. After placing everything next to the stove, I grabbed a pan from the cupboard and placed it on the stovetop. I was halfway through scrambling the eggs when I felt strong arms wrap around my waist. Edward set his chin on my shoulder to watch me cook our breakfast.

I could get used to this.

He hugged me close to his body, bringing his lips down to kiss my neck. I could no longer focus on the task in front of me. I moved the pan from the heat and turned off the burner before turning in Edward's arms to kiss him deeply.

I could get very used to this.

Sorry for the fake out on the lemon…well…sort of. No worries, it's coming. Review please!
