Chapter 5: New Again

Bella woke up and I wrapped her arms around her perfect figure. She was the most beautiful being I have ever seen. She sighed and fell back into my arms and I kissed her hair gently, but lovingly. "Welcome to the family, Bella," I muttered. Her head turned and her crimson eyes looked straight into my topaz ones. Her perfect lips curled into a smile, but that made guilt wash over me. I had taken away her soul, forever. And there was nothing I could do about it.

She must have seen my change in expression because she sighed again. "You regret it don't you?" she questioned me.

"Damn right I do! Bella, I took away your soul, and now, you are half-dead! You can never see Charlie, Renee, or... Jacob again!" I spat out the word 'Jacob'. Oh how I hated that mutt.

Bella took my face in her hands and looked straight into my eyes, we never dared to break our gaze. "Edward," she said lovingly, "I love you, and I don't care if I don't have a soul. I hated my blushing and my clumsiness so I don't care if I don't have it anymore. And losing the others is all worth it. I have a new family. And it is all worth it. Especially if I have all eternity with you." Our faces were centimeters apart and out foreheads rested against each other. I couldn't take it anymore, I pressed my lips with much force against hers.

The kiss was different than any other we shared before, because I knew I didn't have to hold back. Her arms wrapped around my neck and tangled my bronze hair and I pulled her close to me. Carefully, I parted my lips and I felt her's do the same. Her taste was sweet, but nothing in a tempting way. She was so beautiful. My tongue explored the inside of her mouth and she moaned with please. I took my lips off of hers and started trailing kisses down her jaw-line.

In between kisses I spoke, "You... are... so... beautiful." She giggled. "How much different do I look?" she asked.

I got up and offered my hand to her while saying, "See for yourself." She took my hand and I led her to the bathroom. She gasped once she saw the reflection in the mirror.

Her cheeks had a tint of pink to it so she looked like she had a permanent blush and her hair had become a bit wavier. She was defiantly skinner and she had more of a curve now. Her lips were a darker red color and, of course, her skin was the pale white just like the rest of us.

"I l-look–" she stuttered. I kissed her cheek. My lips brushed her skin as I whispered, "You've always looked beautiful." She smiled lightly and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Come on," I urged, "the family is waiting to see you." She nodded and I entwined my hand in hers. We descended down the stair and when we reached the bottom, we heard six vampires gasp. Alice was the first to approach Bella, engulfing her in a sisterly hug.

"Oh Bella!" she squealed, "it is so great to have you be apart of this family!" She let go of Bella, and then Emmett pulled her into one of his brotherly bear-hugs.

"Congratulations sis! I knew Edward would come through sooner or later!" she laughed, but was struggling to breathe. Her body was still obviously adjusting to not breathing. Emmett set her down and Esme came to give her a hug too.

"You look so beautiful Bella. I am so glad Edward found you!"

"Thanks Esme," she replied, a beautiful smile crossed her lips. Jasper came over and laid a hand on her shoulder. "I'm glad to have you in the family." She flashed her glistening white teeth at him, "Thanks Jasper."

Carlisle came over and gave Bella a small hug. "I'm happy to have you as a daughter, Bella." She just smiled back. Rosalie then approached her, great. "Bella," she started, "I wanted apologize for my actions, I was just... jealous I guess. Because I want to be a human and you had it and wanted to give it up. I'm sorry, I hope you can forgive me."

Bella grinned, "Of course I do Rosalie!" Bella gave her a hug, and surprisingly, Rosalie returned it before turning back to Emmett. I went and wrapped my arms around her waist and she relaxed. For once, we felt at peace.

It didn't last long though. There was a knock at the door and Carlisle went to go see who it was. Just before he got there, Bella tensed in my arms and shouted, "Carlisle don't answer that!"

But it was too late.

Dun, dun, dun!!!!!!!! Who can it be?? I'll have the next chapter up ASAP!! R&R and I'll go faster!
