Edward's Point of View
"I'm ready to…to…I'm ready to change you." I took a deep breath.
Her jaw dropped, and she looked truly shocked.
"What?" She questioned. Once again I wished I knew what she was thinking.
"I can't lose you Bella. I just can't. It's selfish, I know, but I need you. I can't just watch you die. I don't want to take your soul, but if you will let me, I'd like to change you." I spoke quickly, just trying to get my words out of my mouth.
"Edward, how many times have we had this discussion? I want to be changed! I've wanted to be changed for quite some time now. I don't care if I lose my soul. All I want is to be with you." She was speaking sternly, yet her voice was calm.
I didn't know what to say. I was at a loss for words. She motioned for me to come closer to her. She cupped my face in her hands.
"Edward, I love you. I'm glad that you want to change me." She pulled my face towards her, and kissed my lips gently.
"I love you too."
"I think that's pretty obvious. I hope my love for you is just as clear."
"It is, yet I still don't know why you love me." She looked at me with a disapprovingly.
"Edward Cullen! How on earth can you think that way? You…" I cut her off.
"Bella, I'm a vampire, I don't even have a heart." I was going to continue, but this time she cut me off.
"You may not have a heart literally, but you give me so much love. It doesn't matter to me. You act more kindly than anyone I know who does have a heart."
"Bella…" I started to protest.
"Are you honestly going to fight me? I have cancer!" She claimed as if it were a joke.
I stared down feeling bad that I was arguing with her. She pulled my face up with her finger, and kissed me slowly on my lips.
"I'm sorry." I said.
"Don't be." A gentle smile appeared on her face.
"You have no idea how much you mean to me. I just hope this is the right decision."
"Well, what does Carlisle think?" I was slightly taken back by this statement.
"What?"
"Well you talked to Carlisle about it, didn't you?" She asked quizzically.
"Well, yeah."
"So what did he think of this whole idea?"
"He thinks a good idea."
"So do I, so it's all settled."
"It's not quite all settled."
"What? Edward you said you wanted to change me!" She looked hurt.
"Love, I do, I didn't mean I wasn't going to change you. I meant that there are things that need to be planned before I do it."
"Oh…what things?"
"Let me worry about that for now. You'll get the information soon enough. You should really sleep love." I stood up and tucked her in.
"Are you comfortable?" I asked her.
"No." She responded.
"What can I get you?" She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards her.
"You." I obliged, and curled up next to her.
"Better?"
"Much."
"Go to sleep sweetie." I began to hum her lullaby. Moments before she fell asleep she spoke.
"I love you…and thank you." She said; sleep obviously taking over her body.
"I love you too, and what are you thanking me for now?"
"For deciding to change me." I kissed her forehead, and she fell asleep.
I started to think of ways to fake Bella's death. I really needed to discuss the topic with Alice, but that would be difficult to do while Bella was still in the hospital. I would have to wait until Bella was released.
A/N: Sorry for such a short chapter. It was going to be even shorter, but I added some to it. Please review!
Okay, I have a game for you all! Tell me how you would fake Bella's death! I have my ideas, now tell me yours!
