Dreaming of Edward

Chapter 12

Alice's POV

I had seen the moment Jasper would wake up, and honestly, it could not come soon enough for me. When he finally opened up his eyes, I was dazzled just like the first time I had seen him in that Philadelphia coffee shop. He flashed me my favorite grin and I couldn't help smiling ear to ear at him.

"Sorry I kept you waiting darlin," I giggled, that was the first thing he had said to me back when we first met.

"Just don't do it again cowboy," I mock chastised him.

"Will do, is everyone…" I knew why he could not finish the sentence, he was afraid of the answer.

"Well, you're an uncle of a beautiful baby boy, and Edward is already healed, but Bella's body was, too far gone. Carlisle had to turn her in order to save her," he just nodded, but his clenched jaw showed he was extremely pissed off.

"I will kill that mutt! So help me god if…" I silenced his lips with my fingers.

"Jasper, Edward is willing to forego the revenge in exchange for a pass on Bella's transformation and a guarantee of safety for Masen."

"Masen…hunh, I like it. Can't say I'm pleased about not taking out the dog, but if it's what Edward wants, I will respect that," he reached up and pulled me down for a very sweet kiss.

When I finally pulled away, I asked, "So…would you like to see him?"

He nodded his agreement just as Esme flitted around the corner bringing Masen in to meet his uncle, finally. I could already see how much he had grown since I saw him yesterday. I had heard Carlisle and Eleazar talking about it, they had a lot of concerns about how quickly he was aging.

"So, you're the young man who caused such a ruckus," he smirked at the child he now held.

"He is a perfect combination of the two of them, don't you think?"

"Yes he is darlin, yes he is," he leaned back and rested the child on his chest, speaking softly to Masen. "I can't wait to read you all those stories of far off lands with sword fights and knights in shining armor saving the beautiful princess Alice. Then there are the games I'll teach you and we'll get to play together and between the two of us, I think we can take down Uncle Emmett and your daddy."

Since Bella would not wake up for another thirty-six hours, there was not much we could do except plan our next move. Esme's suggestion was for us to move back to Alaska, but Carmen had heard of some legends down in Brazil about rumored children of vampire descent. There was also the little problem of Bella's newborn years to take into account. I could see after just that short time of holding Masen, Jasper was thinking about the fact that we would never have a child of our own. No one knew he suffered from the same affliction as Rosalie. When he was human, he dreamed of having children and a wife. He had the wife, but not the children since I was already a vampire when we met. Ultimately, this was the closest to his dream as we would ever get, and for that, I was eternally grateful to Bella and Edward. When Carlisle came in to retrieve Masen, you could see he was pleased that Jasper was awake.

"So, how are you feeling son?"

"Sore, but it's nice to be out of the blackness…"

"Sometime you will have to tell me about it, it would be…intriguing to hear your recount of what you felt during that time."

"Sure thing, how is Bella doing? I can't hear her screaming, but I can feel she is in a lot of pain," he winced at his own pain when he shifted to his side.

"It's amazing, she hasn't as much as whimpered yet, she seems to be doing quite well, and she seems to be able to endure it quietly."

"It would seem she is transforming like you," Carlisle grin at the compliment.

"So it would seem, I think I will take my grandson off your hands so I can measure his growth," Masen grinned at him when he picked him up.

Carlisle's POV

Eleazar was waiting in my make shift office when I return with Masen. After I entered the room, he delivered the news I wanted to ask, but had felt in the end it really would not matter.

"You're not going to ask, but I am going to tell you anyway. Yes, he has a gift, would you like to know what it is?"

"If this is an attempt to torture me, it's working quite nicely my old friend," I cocked my eyebrow challenging him.

"He is a tracker, even stronger than Demetri of the Volturi guard," he smirked knowingly at me.

"Really, who would have thought?"

"I didn't see that coming, I would have thought he would have an ability similar to one of his parents, but you know what they say, don't assume anything," he chuckled.

Masen was such a good boy, he knew I needed to measure him so he stretched giving me the opportunity to accurately calculate just how much he has grown in the day and half since he was dragged into this world. He was already the size of a three month old and, at this rate, he would be full grown at six years old. Question was when would it stop?

We brought Masen back to his father so we could check on Bella. She had not move an inch since I last saw her six hours ago. She was going to be one stunning vampire when this was over. Edward was smiling when we arrived; he had no doubt heard our conversation. However, Eleazar's news was far from complete yet.

"Edward, how are you? Have you moved the leg yet?"

"Yes and so far, I have had no problems with it, even the pain is gone now," he said as I twisted the joint in question.

"That's very good son, it seems like you will make a complete recovery," he nodded happily.

"So, have you heard from the pack?"

"Yes, they have Jacob and we will meet them in two days at the boundary line. Apparently, Jacob is completely beside himself with the guilt over the attack," Edward ignored my comment and stroked Bella's hair.

Edward's POV

It was difficult to hear the beast who had almost killed off my family was feeling guilty, because deep down, I wanted to have an excuse to destroy him. Like Carlisle and Eleazar, I was surprised to hear my son would be a tracker. The fact that he would be even stronger than Demetri was astonishing, to say the least, but it would seem he has his mother's strength. I have spent our time together telling her everything I wanted to tell her for the last month. Everyone says she is going to be beautiful, but I knew the truth, she always has been beautiful.

"Edward, I can't wait to work with her on her shield. She is going to be very powerful that's for sure," Her what?

"What do you mean? Her shield?"

"Of course, are you saying you didn't know what she was all along?"

"No…I had no idea, I just thought she was a mental mute," we all chuckled.

"Yes, well she is a mental mute because she is a mental shield."

My Bella seems to have had another secret she was keeping from me. And just like before, she did not know about it.

The last thirty-six hours went by at a snail's pace, but now the moment of truth was about to arrive. In thirty seconds, Bella would be opening her eyes and, with a little grace from god, she would be mine forever. Alice swears she will not hate us for changing her, but that did not mean she would stay with me. Alice was blocking her thoughts from me so I couldn't see what was going to happen. Everyone except Eleazar joined us in the room for her arrival. Jasper asked Eleazar to keep the baby away until we had a chance to see how bad she would react. Jasper positioned himself at the front, I didn't think he should do that since he was still healing, but I guess it was his military training kicking in to protect the family. After not seeing her move for three days, she suddenly sat bolt up right and screamed.

"JACOB!" I froze; did she want him instead of me?

"Bella, are you all right? Jacob is not here, he's back at La Push," I said softly so not to panic her. Although, I know my eyes were showing the pain I felt.

"Why is he there, he took our child from us, he should be dead!" She snapped looking so devastated rubbing her empty belly.

"Bella, our son is fine, he's in the other room with Eleazar," I said quietly.

"He's okay? We have a son?" a shy smile crept across her face as she relaxed again.

"Yes Bella, you gave me the best gift anyone has ever given me, a child of my own," I tried to smile, but she had yet to acknowledge me as anything other than the baby's father.

"Edward, am I like you now?" She said as she held her hand out and examined it.

"Yes, it was the only way to save you; do you hate us for it?" I cringed at the thought.

"NO! I just…my mind is working so fast and I can hear the animals outside. Everything looks and smells so different now," she glanced around at everyone and slowly started to smile.

"Yes, that's because we have heightened senses. You will adjust to them quickly," I desperately wanted to take her into my arms, but I had yet to ascertain what her feelings were for me.

"Edward, I am so confused…when you talked me through it, you said…"

"Yes Bella, I said 'I love you' repeatedly while you turned."

"But…then, why haven't you touched me? Am I unattractive to you now?" How could she possible think that?

"No love, you have always been…attractive to me, now you're just more attractive to everyone else. I haven't touched you because I was giving you time to acclimate to your new life." I smiled so she would see it in my eyes.

"But…aren't you part of my new life?" It never occurred to me that she would be as worried about my feelings for her, as I was about her feelings for me.

"Yes love, you have my heart forever," I reached out and took her hand into mine.

"Your warm now and soft," she said as she brought my hand up and examined it as she had her own.

"That's because we are the same now, does it bother you that I am no longer cold?"

"No, does it bother you that I am no longer hot?" I chuckled and leaned into whisper in her ear.

"You're still hot to me," I wiggled my eyebrows at her suggestively.

"Edward, why don't you take Bella out for a hunt, then we can introduce her to Masen," Carlisle suggested while they all fought back fits of giggles.

"You gave him the name I picked out?"

"Of course, I gave him the name you picked out. I was flattered when Alice told me of your name choice. Bella you need to stop stalling, so please…come with me," when her eyes started darting between my eyes and lips, I knew what was running through her locked mind.

"OH…thank you, so much," she squealed as she launched herself on top of me, pinning me to the bed.

"I am glad you're happy, but we really should hunt now," I suggested as I ran my hand through her mahogany locks.

The whole time we were talking, Jasper was mind-boggled about Bella's behavior. He thought she should be going crazy with thirst, but so far, she had made no indication she was suffering from any. He was also worried about her lack of hostility with the exception of wanting to kill Jacob. She was actually happy and might I say a bit frisky which the latter thrilled me.

"We need to go now," I pulled her off the bed and to the nearest window.

"Bella, just do what I do, okay?"

"Are you sure I won't fall?"

"Yes…I am sure, but if you're worried I will be there to catch you," I leapt out and landed softly below.

Without a word, she gracefully slid out the window and down to the ground. I took her hand and led her towards the woods, walking at first, and then increasing our speed to running. It felt good to move my legs again; I could not feel any residual effects from the recent injuries. Though I did let her have a tiny advance on me. Hearing her giggle was officially my favorite sound. In a surprise move, she came to an abrupt halt and spun around to face me. Her new red irises were now pitch black.

"I - I need…" she stuttered as I pulled her close by sliding my arms around her waist, causing her to purr.

"What do you need my love?" I mumbled as I kissed her neck from her ear to her shoulder and back again.

"You," she growled softly as I captured her lips in mine reveling in her taste. She deepened the kiss when she parted her rosy lips for me and I granted her wish by slipping my tongue inside.

We both moaned as our tongues began to perform an intricate ballet in her mouth. I slid one hand deep into her hair and deepened it further. If I could have, I think I would have crawled into her mouth and lived there forever. Without the need to breathe, we managed to stay that way for a full two minutes before we broke apart panting. Bella was definitely having a problem with focusing; her hands were traveling at vampire speed from my shoulders down my back and back up my stomach to my chest. She was showing signs of frustration; she needed help on focusing to alleviate it. So, I pinned her back to a tree with her hands held securely above her head. It was so sexy the way she groaned as her lust filled eyes settled back on my face.

"Edward, please?"

"Please, what? Tell me how to make you happy," I could see my own lust filled eyes reflecting within hers.

"Everything, I want it all NOW!"

"Focus love; start with one thing, where do you want my mouth first?"

She closed her eyes and panted quietly through her slightly parted lips, "I want you to start with my nipples first."

"As you wish," I breathed in her ear as I started kissing my way down her neck, around to hollow below her chin and down to her cleavage. With my free hand, I tore through her silk shirt and lace bra Alice had dressed her in.

Her eyes snapped open as she gasped in anticipation.

With a quick lap of my tongue, her left nipple pebbled and when I licked small circles around the pebbled surface she moaned. I sucked it fully into my mouth and groaned when my cock throbbed even harder against my pants. It would seem I wanted her as much as she wanted me. When I switched breasts, Bella arched her back against me trying to achieve more satisfaction, it was hard not to chuckle slightly. If she only knew she was stronger than me, her hands would be all over the place, not that I would mind that one bit. As it was, she was not even trying to lower them and that suited me just fine.

"I want more, touch me please," she begged.

"Are you wet for me love?"

"God yes," she panted in my ear.

"Focus on me as I enter you love, focus," she closed her eyes and waited for what she desperately wanted.

She wiggled her hips when she heard my zipper go down. Thankfully, Alice had dressed her in a wrap skirt so it was easy to hike up it with one hand.

"Feel me Bella; do you feel me at your entrance?"

"Yes…more please," she wiggled again causing me to slip in an inch.

I groaned at the feel of her on my tip. "Oh Bella, you are so hard to resist my love."

"Don't, I need you now," she licked her lips and I lost it completely.

She was so wet, I slipped straight in filling her completely, and the feel of her surrounding me was beyond sheer pleasure. With her eyes still closed, I watched her face as I started moving within her walls. Each of my thrusts was met with one of her own.

Suddenly, I was the one on my back with Bella riding me, balancing herself by leaning her palms on my chest. With her head thrown back, she panted and moaned as she bounced up and down. The more she moved the more I snarled, until it sounded like a purr coming from my chest.

With my hands locked on her hips, together we moved so I slipped in and out deeper and faster. When her walls started to quiver around my cock, I flipped her again keeping her legs locked around my hips. I drove myself so far into her, she screamed my name and came around me, pushing me in the ecstasy that only she could. I bellowed her name as I spilled deeply inside her.

"Bella, you did very well on focusing, was it easier?"

"God yes, and now I feel so calm and relaxed. Thank you for that," I grinned when she laid her head on my shoulder and thought anytime my love.

"Bella, you don't have to thank me, I wanted you as much as you wanted me," I purred.

"Now, it's time to get you fed so we can go back to our son. And, since he sleeps at night and we don't, we have the best of both worlds."

A/ N If I didn't stop now it would have been forty pages…see you next time! Next up what is on Bella's mind!

By the way, have you reviewed lately? How else will I know to continue?
