Chapter 26: A Vampire what?

(Bella POV)

After Edward kissed me, I knew he had been holding out me. This kiss was amazing. Every fiber inside of me was on fire. He threw everything in the blanket and put it and me on his back and took off for the car.

"Edward, stop!" I said. "I want to run with you, please."

"Run with me, love?" He had asked. "You can hardly walk without tripping, are you sure, Bella?"

I just smiled and said, "Let's see." So I climbed down and he took off and I took off after him. He was so fast that I never thought that I could catch him, even if I had a week.

I got to the car about five minutes after Edward, safely, mind you. I hadn't fallen or even tripped once.

He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me hard again. I love this new not-holding-back Edward. Then I started to think what it would be like to make love to him like this.

"Bella, we should go, are you okay," Edward said to me. I just smiled, bit my bottom lip, and turned red from my blush.

"Yeah, we should go, but later, I have an idea that I want to try out, to see if it's as fun as the new kissing is," I said back to him smiling the whole time.

Then Edward smiled his crooked smile and said, "I bet Bella, you just have all kinds of little ideas in that beautiful head of yours."

That made me blush even more. I was so in love with Edward, it was hard to remember life before we met.

We rode to the Carlisle's office in comfortable silence. Which sometimes was nice. As always I was glad that my thoughts were all my own, unless I invited Edward in.

We pulled into the parking lot and Edward was at my door helping me out. We walked in holding hands.

"Hello, Mrs. Harper, is my dad free?" Edward asked the lady at the desk. If she was any older she could have been Edward's grandmother. She was looking Edward up and down and I wanted to smack the old hag in the face.

He's mine and no one was going to take him from me. 'I wish I was younger, Dr. Cullen's son is such a H-O-T-T-I-E! The things I could do to that boy, her father would throw me in jail and never let me out.' Mrs. Harper was thinking.

Edward smiled, kissed me on the check, and pulled me over to the chairs to sit and wait for Carlisle.

"Edward, did you hear her? How could she say those things out loud, and in front of us even," I asked him.

"Love, she didn't say them out loud, she was thinking them. You must have heard her mind. I wonder if it's because we are sharing blood?" Edward said. He said the last part more to himself then to me but oh well.

Carlisle walked up to us, smiled, and asked us to follow him. He pointed down the hall. We followed him but I think that he and Edward was having a silent conversation.

"Carlisle, I believe that Bella is gaining some of my vampire abilities. She can run fast and not be all Bella-ish (meaning clumsy)." I shot him a cross eyed look. "She's also able to read the minds of some people," Edward told Carlisle.

"Yeah, Carlisle, I heard that wretched old women in the lobby's thoughts about how she wanted to, well, sleep with my Edward," I told Carlisle.

"Bella, what else can you do?" Carlisle asked. "I don't know, I guess I can run fast and not fall down. I can open up my mind so Edward can come in. Edward can kiss me without being so soft, I won't break," I said with a smile on my face.

"Don't forget, love, that when you were in trouble with Jacob Black and the cliff, you called out to me for help in your head," Edward added.

"Hmm, Bella, I'm going to need to draw some of your blood so that I can run a few tests on it. Are you going to be okay, with that?" Carlisle asked.

"Sure, anything, Carlisle," I said then smile at Edward. He smiled back and winked at me also.

So I rolled up my sleeve and Carlisle got to work. He took 2 tubes, I didn't like to watch because all I could think of was how much I wanted to share it with Edward and have him share his with me.

My phone rang and I looked down to see that Alice was calling me. I looked over at Edward, as we were the only two left in the room while Carlisle went to run the test.

I flipped my phone open and said, "Hello, Alice."

"Bella, I need to see you, are you still with Edward at the hospital?"

"Yeah, Carlisle just took some blood samples and he is running some tests," I told her.

"Bells, listen to me, if you and Edward keep trading blood, you will change into one of us. I saw it and all the burning that we went through wasn't there. Do you understand what I am saying to you? I also saw you and Edward with a child or something, but that's farther in the future," Alice said to me.

I looked at Edward and smiled my biggest smile. What if I could become a vampire and not get hurt? What if Edward and I could have a baby? That sounds so great to me. I want Edward forever and this would be the …

"Bells, are you still there?" Alice asked, and Edward nodded his head at me.

"Yeah, I'm here and I'm alright. Can you kinda not tell anyone this, please, till we can talk more later, okay?" I asked hoping she would block Edward from her mind also. Then we said our good byes and I hung up the phone and put it back into my pocket.

"Love, what was that all about? I caught a few words here and there but mostly, just things that didn't sound like anything," Edward asked.

I just smiled at him and told him, "That's between Alice and me until she and I can talk more about it, then I will tell you, okay?" I said to Edward raising my eyebrow at him.

"Later love, later," was all he said to me. We heard a knock on the door and Carlisle walked in with a strange look on his face.

"What is it, Carlisle?" Edward and I asked at the same time.

"Is everything alright, dad?" Edward asked.

"Yes, son, I think that it might be," then Carlisle looked from Edward to me. "When you two started to trade blood is when all this started to happen, am I correct?"

"Yes, that's when Bella started to become, well, stronger," Edward said.

"Is that a bad thing?" I asked.

Carlisle laughed, "No, Bella, you becoming one of us could never be a bad thing, we love you like our daughter already," Carlisle said.

Edward looked at him and smiled his big crooked grin. Then his eyes fell upon me.

"What is it, Edward, why are you looking at me like that?" I asked.

"Bella, as you know, I'm aware that you and Edward are, how shall I say this, in love and you guys are showing your love to each other in a private way," Carlisle said.

I was looking at the floor and blushing like a big red fire truck. What was he saying? I KNEW they all knew, but to hear him say it, OMG! I could crawl under the table and hide forever.

"Bella, love breath," I heard Edward say. So I took in a deep breath and looked up at Carlisle for him to go on.

"Carlisle, am I going to become a vampire without being bitten?" I asked, I needed to know. Besides, I wasn't sure that I didn't want Edward to bite me.

"Bella, you are going to be going through a lot of changes in the next few months. Do you understand what I'm talking about?" Carlisle asked, while he was eying at Edward and me.

"Yeah, I think so, I'm going to "die" and then become a newborn and be blood crazy for a while, is that about right? Yeah and it might or might not burn because of not being bit. Until I change, is it alright if Edward and I still (said shyly) still trade blood? It's more than anything I can explain, except, say that it just feels right," I asked Carlisle, even though I was very embarrassed about asking.

He and Edward both laughed this time. Edward reached down and took my hands into his and kissed them softly and then looked at Carlisle and told him that this was his job, now.

With an understanding, Carlisle kissed my forehead and walked out of the room. I was so scared now that something was wrong, maybe I wouldn't make it! Who knows?

Edward went down onto his knees. "Love, Bella, there will be a newborn but I'm not sure that you'll be it," Edward said with his breathe taking crooked smile. Then he kissed my hands and then my stomach.

"Oh my God! Edward, are we having a baby?"
