Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. And if I ever came across Edward I would most likely rape him...not gonna lie.

I know, I am SOOOOoooo sorry. I have been a horrible person/author. I have exams this week so that's the reason for being so lame at updating both this and MLOONAA. But good news! My little brother, Kevin, got his own computer, which means I can use this one whenever I want without him playing WoW. YEAH!!

Hmmm...what else? I feel the need to start conversations with you guys. I'm not sure why, but it's always more fun when I get like anecdotes in reviews...makes me feel like I know you guys. So, how is the weather by you? Here it's starting to get sunny and warm up. I'm happy about that.

And I feel like I'm doing PR for the movie, but DID YOU GUYS SEE THE POSTER?! IT"S AMAZING!!

Alright, I'm done. I suppose I've kept you waiting long enough for the next chapter. So, ON WITH IT...

BPOV

Unfortunately Edward and I weren't able to be alone again that night. Felix had insisted on escorting me to my room and Tanya clung to Edward like a leech. It made me feel uncomfortable to watch the man I love enter his bedroom with another woman.

Then weeks passed without that delicious vision of us being intimate again coming true. It seemed every where we went we were once again being watched. Though no one suspected anything of us, I was constantly being watched, orders from Aro.

I had confronted my creator about the new security, but as I met him in his office, he was short and to the point, making my anger boil to the surface.

"Bella, princess. I just want to make sure you're safe." And within my watch he thought. My eyes almost bulged out of my head. His thoughts were usually very carefully blocked. But I calmed myself immediately before he had a chance to realize his mistake. I had to stay there longer, see if I could get more out of him.

"Aro, though I appreciate your over protectiveness of me, since I am your daughter," I started to which his thoughts scoffed at my words, "but I am no longer a fragile human. I am a very powerful vampire, and I can manage my own security."

"Oh, I know how powerful you are, dear." he said. I know exactly how powerful you are. I could almost see the smile in those thoughts. "I just don't want anyone taking advantage of you."

I no longer had an argument and left the room after he revealed no more. I knew we were getting closer. Something was seriously awry and it involved me. The way his thoughts were going, I felt like he was only using me. Though his words were always father-like and loving, his thoughts had a menacing tone, letting me hear his true nature. And I didn't like it. Thoughts don't lie, but a voice out loud could easily cover up one's intentions.

I alerted Edward of my conversation with Aro. We were lying in our rooms, thinking to one another. It seemed the only way for us to communicate safely at the time.

There's something to it he thought to me. His mind must be so busy now that even though he's trying to block both you and me, things are starting to slip through.

I didn't like the way his voice in his head was. It didn't sound like he cared about me, but instead like he had something in mind when he changed me. This isn't what I wanted at all, Edward. I thought I would be part of a family. I told him. At the beginning I thought that I had finally found that, but I was starting to think that I was sorely mistaken.

Oh, Bella love, you are. Alice, Carlisle, they think of you as a daughter and a sister. You are already part of our family according to them. His thoughts paused for a moment and I could almost hear him take a breath before starting again. I don't trust Aro.

I know, I don't any more either. I admitted.

That's why…I want to take you away from here.

We both paused before I answered him. Excuse me? I couldn't have heard him correctly. He wanted to take me away? Away from the Volturi? Edward, where do you think we would go? I asked incredulously.

To my home in Forks he answered simply, as if it was no big deal.

Oh yes, I'm sure of all the places for them to look after the two of us disappear, they would never dream of checking your home. I answered sarcastically.

Bella, we're not going to disappear. We are going to ask permission to take you with us back to Forks. I just don't want you being around here while we try to figure this out. He explained.

Edward, I would love nothing more than to go to Washington with you, but…

Good, then it's settled he cut in before I could finish.

BUT, I continued anyways, Edward, this is ridiculous. Us against them? Who do you really think is going to win?

Is that a trick question? He asked and his voice sounded amused. I was getting very frustrated with him at the moment. I would not put his family in danger just for me and him to be able to be together without a Felix, Aro, or Tanya.

Edward, this isn't some little coven of vampires with only three members. We're talking about the Volturi. The royal family of the vampire world.

Bella, you seem to have forgotten that we would have the strongest vampire in existence on our side. Not to mention myself, Alice being able to see the future, and Emmett's impressive strength.

Edward, I am still quite new at my powers. If four came, then yes, there wouldn't be a problem. But Edward, if a real fight is started over this, how do you really think we would do? I was trying to look at the worst case scenario. If I expected the worse, anything better would be welcomed.

We're not talking about a war here, love. All I'm saying is that I would feel better if you left this place for a little while. We'll tell Aro that we will bring you back in a month or so. That is quite a short time for vampires. By the time we return here, I'm sure whatever they're planning will be figured out and more than one person would be bound to be thinking about it. It will be much easier to pick out of their minds then. Come on, love, a month together? No interruptions, no security. Just you and me, his voice suddenly got lower and husky, maybe do a couple things from that vision.

I couldn't help the smile that formed on my face at the thought of what he had thought we would be doing later that night. But decisions had changed and with it, the vision. Even the sound of his thoughts could knot my stomach and breathing to come faster. That husky voice that was still able to sound like velvet. That voice matched with visions of his hands roaming my body, and the two of us molding together.

Bella, love, I can hear your breathing from my room. And have you forgotten that I can read your thoughts? I never knew you liked the sound of my voice quite so much. He was being smug now, but I could tell that he liked that I thought of him. I would have to be more careful with putting that wall up while thinking inappropriate things about him.

Exactly what kind of inappropriate things do you think about me? Dammit.

Edward as much as I like inflating your ego, I am keeping that to myself. Thought sex and phone sex are not the same thing I laughed. Although, I had to admit, I wasn't completely opposed to the idea.

Not 'completely opposed', huh? He chuckled. Can I ask what you're wearing?

Sweat pants and a tee shirt, I stated honestly.

Oh, Bella, you naughty girl, you, he laughed. You must stop teasing me with your apparel.

I let out a loud laugh and covered my mouth with my hand to stop before someone came in my room, thinking I had mental diseases (not that we could get them).

Edward, stop making me laugh. What would happen if someone came in here?

You tell them you're having inappropriate thoughts of the vampire down the hall?, he suggested.

I let out a small giggled and answered in an amused tone, If I was thinking naughty things about you, Edward Cullen, I hardly think I would be laughing.

Well I suppose that's a relief, he chuckled. I'll talk to Carlisle about getting you to come to Forks with us for a little while, then tell you what the plan is. Its better that no one else knows about this.

Edward, who would I tell?

Just keep it between us. No telling Heidi, Alice of course will be informed, but we need to think of a reason to get back to the house. I'll talk to you later, I'm gonna go see Carlisle now.

Okay. I love you.

I will love you forever, Bella.

I let my eyes close and thought of the peace we would find to be away from Felix and Tanya for a while. The way we could openly hold hands or sit besides each other on a couch, not caring if someone came in and saw us. How we could spend every night cuddled together in the same bed…or doing other things in that bed. Did Edward even have a bed? We would get one, of that I was sure.

From there my mind began to drift to more sexual ideas involving Edward and I and a strict dress code of no clothing. How my back would arch for him when his lips went to my breast and I would pull his head closer to my chest, wanting to feel more of his mouth surrounding me.

I would hitch on leg over his naked hip and pull my core closer to him, able to feel his hard arousal press against me and he would moan against my skin before attacking my lips with his own.

Bella, I'm trying to concentrate on talking to Carlisle, and you are making it quite difficult, Edward suddenly jumped into my thoughts.

Well, then don't listen, I said, but I was completely embarrassed at being caught fantasizing.

Honestly, how could I not? But if you don't stop, I'm going to ruin all of our plans by running into your room and taking you right now.

Would that be such a bad thing?, I asked mischievously.

Yes, it would. I'm pretty sure Aro would send about twelve vampires to kill me. And if that happened, than there would be no need for you to go to Forks. Not to mention you would have a very long, sexually frustrating existence without me. So for your own sake, you must stop.

I giggled at his reasoning. Well as long as it's in my best interest.

So I got out of my bed and went in search for Alice. I was terribly bored and Edward being busy left me with his hyper and sweet sister. We had become so close. Much closer than Heidi and I had ever been. Heidi really was never what I would have considered a 'friend'. It was simply an order Aro gave her. He wanted a female vampire near me. But now that I had Alice, she had felt relieved of duty. I didn't mind much. She was probably out on the prowl for her next lover. She would lose interest so easily.

As I walked to Alice's room at a slow human pace, I wondered if that would happen to me and Edward as well. Would we get tired of each other and want to move on to somebody else? I couldn't picture myself every growing tired of him. Ever wanting a replacement for my Edward. To me he just seemed irreplaceable. How lucky I had been that he loved me just as much as I him.

I didn't even get the chance to knock before Alice's chipper voice rang out. "Come in." she sang.

I opened the door to find her packing up her suitcase.

"Are you going somewhere, Alice?" I asked confused.

She gave me an 'are you serious' look but I just stared back at her, until she finally answered. "Bella, come on, do you seriously think that you and Edward are the only ones going back to Forks?"

As realization dawned on me, a smile stared to spread across my lips. "Are you serious? We're going?"

"You know, Bella. You can see the future too, when you want. Why didn't you just look ahead and see if it was going to work?" she asked.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't really use my powers unless there's a need to. I have to pick when I want to see the future. I don't just get random visions, like you. I have to focus on seeing the future, or looking into someone's mind, or whatever it is I'm doing."

"Oh. Well, then, yes I did see that we are going to Forks. Edward and Carlisle should be in the office talking to Aro as we speak. Oh, I'm so excited!" she said, jumping up and down, clapping her hands. "We can hang out with Rose and Emmett, and Jasper. Oooo…and you can finally meet Esme. She's going to love you. And I have to go shopping to get Edward a bed." she rambled until that last sentence, where she winked at me.

"Alice you need to calm down. It's still going to be a little while until we actually get to Forks." I reminded her.

Her face turned quite serious for a moment. "Bella, we need to go shopping." The way she said it, made it seem as if it was a matter of life or death.

"Uh, Alice, I'm not really in the condition to be around humans at the moment. In case you haven't noticed, I've only been a vampire for a short time. I still have the urge to drink human blood."

"Oh, that's right. Well don't worry. Jasper still has problems controlling himself sometimes. You two just need to feed more than the rest of us. He was the last to join our way of life. But he's doing so well. I mean he has such strength. To go through school with us." She shook her head at her husband's resolve. "He is an amazing man." He eye got a far off dreamy look in them.

"Hey, Alice, I'm a little worried about something, and since you and Jasper have been married for a while, I thought that you would be a good person to ask." I paused for a moment. "Heidi and other vampires here they tend to have several different lovers. It seems they lose interest and then look for another one to keep themselves interested. I was just wondering, have you ever grown tired of Jasper?"

She laughed. "Heavens no. Jasper and I love each other. That's the difference. The vampires here don't feel that kind of love. They do what they must to survive and have been apart from humans for so long, they don't remember what it was like to be one. Our family likes to hang on to whatever humanity we have left. We act as a family, it makes us feel more normal and our lives happier. Love is what makes the difference, hon. If you truly love someone, you wont get tired of them. Your love will always be just as strong as went Cupid first struck you in the ass with that arrow." she laughed.

"Thanks, Alice." She truly did make me feel better about my situation. And if Rosalie and Emmett, Jasper and Alice, and Carlisle and Esme were able to stay together for so long because of their love, then I was sure that Edward and I would be able to do the same.

"I know why you were asking, and believe me, by the way he looks at you, you're gonna be stuck with my family for eternity. Good thing Rose likes you." She laughed. "She would've been the one to make eternity miserable."

I laughed along with her. I could see Rosalie being the one to give someone a hard time. She was the kind of girl that wouldn't take any shit. I was indeed lucky that she had taken a liking to me so quickly.

Just then, Alice's door swung open and Edward ran in. Faster then I could see, I was suddenly being picked up and spun around in a tight embrace. I looked to find Carlisle smiling as he leaned against the door frame.

Edward eventually put me down, only to cup my face and have his topaz eyes stare deeply into my crimson orbs. "Bella, you're coming with us. Aro gave the okay." he announced excitedly.

"How? I mean what did you tell him?" I was so excited, I could barely form a coherent sentence.

"I told him that I needed to extend my leave at the hospital and that we needed time for our family as well. It has been months since we have seen them. I explained how since no one here would be able to teach and train you, and make sure you refrained from human blood, that it was in your best interest to accompany us." Carlisle explained.

"He wanted to send Felix along at first." Edward scoffed. "I wouldn't have minded, especially if we stuck him in the guest room next to my room." he said, but then as his eyes met mine, he started to speak in his mind. What a rude awakening he would have had if he heard the noises I can have you make coming from my room. I looked away, embarrassed at the thought of someone listening to us.

"But with everyone else feeding off human blood, we told them we preferred if no one came to feed off the small town. Aro of course consented. So we will be gone for a month and a half before returning." Carlisle said.

"A month and a half?" I asked, excitedly.

Carlisle nodded. "Yes. Actually Aro was the one to suggest that time frame. I was quite surprised at the length he gave us."

"I'm not." Edward said darkly as he pulled me close to his side.

"What does that mean?" Carlisle asked.

"I'll tell you later." He answered.

"So, when do we leave?" I asked.

"Tomorrow they will have a private jet at the clearing. We can't risk you being with humans on an airplane. Then it will land in Seattle." Edward said. He once again took my face into his hands. "Bella, it's going to be difficult, the ride from Seattle to Forks. The scent of blood will be everywhere. I want to make sure that you know this."

I nodded and placed my hands over his which were still on my face. "I know. As long as you're there with me, I'll be fine." I assured him. "Will it be bad once I get to your house?" I asked, suddenly nervous about neighbors and school children that I might want to drink from.

But Edward shook his head. "We live too far away for the scent of a human to come near our house. Don't worry, you wont have to be in contact with any humans." he said, placing a quick kiss on my lips.

I turned to find Carlisle smiling at us before he spoke. "Although, our time in Forks might be a good time to test how well she does handle human blood. She's been such a fast learner with everything, I wonder if her tolerance builds fast as well." he thought out loud. "Of course training will prevail. We will continue to have you both practice your talent and your fighting. It will be nice to have Jasper and Emmett try to fight her as well."

Edward's hand slid up my torso to ever so slightly graze my breast and then let it rest once again on my hip. Mmm…what I would give to have you pinned beneath me again, he thought, that husky velvet back.

I smirked up at him confidently and replied, what makes you think that you'll be on top?

He simply chuckled and then kissed the top of my head.

"Right. You guys have no idea how annoying that is going to be to everyone else in the house." Alice said with a giggle.

"Alright, go pack for tomorrow, everyone." Carlisle said before walking out the door to do some packing himself.

Edward pulled me to his chest and leaned down to whisper in my ear, "Bella, I would love to help you pack." He let his nose travel the line of my jaw and my knees almost buckled.

"Edward, no!" Alice said as she stomped her foot. "You need to stop! The visions of you two having sex is not the kind of future I want to see."

Edward turned toward his sister. "Now you know what it's like when you and Jasper think inappropriately." he shot back at her.

She stuck her tongue out at him as a response. "Edward, I will be helping Bella pack. We need to have some girl talk anyways." She told him.

He rolled his eyes and then looked back at me. "I love you and I'll be back as soon as the pixie is gone." He bent his head down and left a gentle kiss that seemed to linger on my lips forever before leaving.

I stared after him as he left until I heard Alice. "Let's pack!"

As we started putting everything in suitcases she had purchased for god knows what, our conversations varied. It stared with me asking about what her home was like, and school. Those kinds of things. But by the end, the conversation somehow turned to shopping.

"Bella, if are more tolerant to human blood, will you go shopping with me?" she asked.

I looked at her as she pouted at me. I knew that if I refused, she would end up buying my entire wardrobe, and if I went I might have more of a say. "Sure, Alice." I told her. But in the back of my mind, I didn't think I would be well enough to go anyways.

"Good, because then we need to get you some lingerie for Edward too." She smirked.

I stared at her wide eyed. "Alice, I really don't think that's necessary." I told her, while deep down I actually liked the idea of looking sexy for Edward. He already was, just by himself. It would be a gift from god if the boy never wore a shirt. But going with Alice? I thought that might be a little awkward.

"Of course it is. I bet Edward would really like it." She said with a knowing smile. "Jasper loves it when I wear kinky things for him."

"I guess an outfit or two wont hurt." I said with a small smile.

"An outfit or two? No, no, darling. We will be getting more than that. Way more."

"Why? Why would I need so much? I mean how much sex could we be having?" I asked, though I didn't really expect an answer.

"Bella, Bella, Bella." she said as she shook her head. "I mean, obviously I don't know how good Edward is, but believe, me, it might turn into a once a day occurrence."

"Once a day?" I asked incredulously.

"Bella, when your boyfriend who is hopelessly in love with you has been sexually repressed for like a hundred years, you think he's only going to do every once in a while? Not to mention, you'll want it more. Vampires don't get tired, which is a major plus." She said. I just stared at her. "Okay, I never thought I'd talk about this, but for your sake, I will. When you and Edward first…you know, afterwards did you think 'alright, I'm good'? Or did you want more?"

It was a question I didn't even need to think about, but I thought back to that moment anyways. I remembered exactly what I wanted. More didn't even describe it. I never wanted him to stop.

"I see your point." I smiled.

"Thought so."

We finished packing everything I would need and Alice retreated back to her room to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything. I smiled at my friend as she winked at me and danced out of my room.

I looked around the room that was mine. The room that had been assigned to me, but there was only one thing that happened in that room that made me feel connected to it. The change was not something I wanted to remember. It was merely necessary. But what had happened with Edward and I? That was something to cherish for eternity.

"Bella?" I whipped my head around to find Felix standing at my door.

"Hi, Felix." I greeted politely.

"Packed already?" he asked, nodding towards my suitcase.

"Yeah." I answered, trying to keep the smile from my face.

"Well, I will miss you." It was so sincere that I almost felt sorry for him. His eyes looked on mine. Crimson meeting scarlet. "I thought we could make this last night memorable." He suggested.

"Excuse me?" I asked. He couldn't possibly be implying…

"Well, it's our last night together. I thought we could say good-bye properly. And I know that you're a virgin, so I will be careful with you, don't worry." He said, taking a step closer to me as his eyes started to turn black as they raked over my body.

With every step he took towards me, I took one back. "I'm sorry, Felix, but I don't want to do that with you." I told him.

He threw his head back with a laugh. "Bella, darling, you're saying that as if you have a choice." he said as he continued to stalk closer to me. "You see, you are my mate, and as so I am privileged to certain things. One of them being sexual deeds. And I have really been looking forward to that little perk."

"Felix…" I warned. "Stay away from me. I don't want to hurt you." I said, although it was a lie. I really wouldn't have minded.

"Bella, I think you're forgetting last time we fought." He said, pinning my body up against the wall so hard that my back created a crack in the stone.

I closed my eyes, preparing for my attack, when I heard him.

"Bella." My eyes snapped open to find Edward and Alice in the door way. "Carlisle has asked to meet with all of us." he stated calmly but his thoughts were anything but.

Felix loosened his grip on me and I pushed him with my shoulder as I passed. I turned to face him after I reached Alice and Edward. "I don't think we will be saying good-bye any other way than what has just happened." I told him before walking with Edward and Alice to Carlisle's room.

I swung around to stare at Edward. "I was about to attack him. Why did you interrupt?" I asked.

He put his hands on my shoulders. "Bella, if you attacked him, he would've told Aro and that could have prevented you from going with us." he said calmly. "That's why Alice came with me as well. We didn't want him thinking that I would come to your room by myself." he explained.

"That and I had to almost hold him back from attacking the creep." Alice said in a voice that was much darker than her chipper self.

"I think we should all stay together until the morning." Carlisle said. "I would hate for something to happen so close to our leave." He told us and we all agreed.

We left to all get our bags and put them in Carlisle's room and Edward to say his farewells to Tanya before we all went out for one final hunting trip before our journey.

The excitement of what the next month and half would bring, caused my legs to propel me forward so fast that Edward was having trouble keeping up with me. But I couldn't help it. There would be no worries about an evil plan, no vampires keeping careful watch. Just me and the people I cared about the most, in once place. I was hoping to get to know the Cullen family better, hoping that one day all of them would accept me as their own, because one day I wanted to officially become a Cullen.

I never thought love would happen to me. Never thought that I would be graced with a person who could love me just as much as I did them. But I was. Every time I looked into Edward's eyes, I knew my feelings were reciprocated. That even if I was still human, I would risk my life to be with him, and he would risk everything he had to love me back. We had problems…everyone relationship did. But it was nice to know that for a little while we could forget about them and just live happily.

EPOV

As we ran through the forest on our hunt and I fought to kept up with Bella, who had the most beautiful smile on her face, I knew. I was ready to make her an official Cullen.

So that's the end of the chapter, but NOT the end of the story. I have a tendency to get caught up in the moment. So though it sounded like the end, I assure you it was not.

I thought it would be nice to take it easy for a while. Let Bella and Edward's relationship grow without an Aro and Felix around. To let this story have some fun. But there will be lots more drama ahead as well.

Thanks for being understanding about my late update,
