BPOV

That whole day, Edward never left my side. He held my hand and wiped my tears every second of the pain. His presence comforted me; to know that he wasn't keen on leaving my side anytime soon.

I shook violently and rolled off of the bed into Edward's arms.

"It's okay, Bella. It's okay…" he kept on repeating, over and over, but I never grew tired of it; of hearing his voice. He put me back on the bed and I realised that my tears weren't leaking out, as they had been constantly doing so all day. I was… changing. I closed my eyelids and let out a scream. Edward's grip on my hand tightened. It was going to be a long, painful night.

Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Esme and I were all sitting in Esme and Carlisle's room, waiting and listening. We heard Bella screaming again and we all flinched.

"This is horrible," muttered Emmett, "poor Bella…"

"She'll pull through," said Esme, confidently.

I sat up as a vision filled my head.

Bella was sitting on the lounge next to Emmett.

"Emmett, I am not playing uno, okay? When the others get back from the funeral you can ask them to play with you," said Bella.

"Come on, Bella! One game! What have you got to lose?" pushed Emmett.

And then the vision ended. But… that was impossible. Bella wouldn't be sitting on the lounge next to Emmett tomorrow if she was going through the change… unless she stopped sometime between then and now…

"Al, are you okay?" asked Jasper. I grinned at him.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry, it was a good vision," I reassured him. He eyed me suspiciously and I kissed him.

I could only imagine the shopping trips I could take Bella on when she was a newborn vampire!

I shook violently again and all at once…

The pain stopped. I felt funny now that it had stopped. I sat up, my eyes still closed and Edward grabbed my hand.

"Bella? Are you okay?" he asked, concerned.

I opened my eyes and looked over at him. He grinned and kissed my cheek.

"You're back… you're back…" he muttered, squeezing me into a tight hug.

"Am I a vampire now?" I asked.

"I'm pretty sure of it! Wow! You only took about a day to change!" he babbled.

"Um… is that good?"

"You bet it is! I was so worried… so saddened. I saw you on the bed and it hurt me to know that no matter how much you screamed, I couldn't help you… I couldn't leave your side…"

I looked him in the eyes.

"Edward, it's okay. It's fine. Everything's fine now. You don't have to worry about me being a human! I can finally defend myself! Do you have any idea how happy that makes me? But most of all, most of all, I have you!"

"For eternity…" he whispered.

"For eternity," I repeated. I looked over at the mirror on the wall. My eyes were golden brown and my appearance wasn't too different to how I was used to looking at myself.

"Wow, I haven't changed much," I mused. Edward chuckled.

"You've always been beautiful. That's why your look didn't change. Do you remember Mike, Eric and Tyler? They thought you were beautiful too, and trust me, the thoughts that some of the other guys were having about you were… kind of the same. They all think you're beautiful, Bella. All of them, me especially," he told me.

"Can you still smell me?" I asked.

"Last time I checked, I had a nose."

"Do you still want to eat me?"

He chuckled.

"Of course! I want to gobble you up for dinner!" he joked. Then I remembered.

"Edward! The funeral! It's today! You've got to get ready… I'm holding you up!" I reminded him. He merely chuckled and walked into the bathroom. He shut the door behind him and I decided to go and see the others. I walked out of the door and into the open door of Carlisle and Esme's room. Everyone bar Edward was there. They were all dressed in black dresses and suits, except for Emmett.

"Bella?" gasped Emmett and Jasper.

"Bella!" grinned Alice, dancing over to me to kiss my cheek.

"That was a quick change!" joked Emmett.

"Yeah," agreed Rosalie, sending a grin my way for like… the first time EVER!

I grinned at all of them.

"Have fun at my funeral, guys!" I joked. Emmett laughed and smacked me on the back with his hand. Alice handed me a bowl with a red substance in it.

"Bear blood," she told me, "We don't have time to take you on your first hunt, so there you go… and… I hope it keeps you satiated."

Edward walked in wearing a black suit. I went over to examine him and gave him a kiss on the lips.

"Someone looks handsome!" I joked.

"Well it is my wife's funeral. I think Bella would like it if I looked handsome at her funeral," he joked, squeezing my cheek softly.

"Oh I'm sure she'd love to see her husband looking so devilishly handsome," I joked back.

"We're going to have to leave now; we've got the drive down to Forks. It's an overcast day so we should be fine," ordered Carlisle.

"Yes sir, Dr. Cullen!" joked Jasper.

Edward kissed me goodbye and everyone piled out of the room to go to my fake funeral.

"You're grieving remember," I shouted after Edward. I shut the door and turned to face Emmett. He would be staying with me. Being Paul's killer, if the wolves saw him then… they wouldn't hesitate to kill him. I hoped Edward and the others would be okay…

"We're going to have so much fun!" he said sarcastically, flashing his white teeth at me.

"We're not leaving this room, Emmett, and believe me, Alice will be watching, so she'll know if you're naughty," I reminded him. He laughed.

"So? Who cares what Alice thinks!" he laughed.

"Edward, remember? He reads minds. He cares what Alice thinks."

Emmett laughed again.

"So? It's just Edward!"

"You'll reconsider that when he kicks your butt!"

"Why would he kick my butt?"

"For driving me insane!"

Emmett looked down at my bowl of bear blood that Alice had given me.

"Aw man, are you gonna eat that?"

This is a shorter chapter than my others. Simply because I want the funeral to be a different chapter… maybe it'll take up two chapters? I don't know. My fingers are the ones typing so I guess it's up to them… remember to rate and review!
