.A/N: Thank you very much to everyone who sent me a PM when the review button didn't work. I was really touched that you didn't just forget about it. Thank you. You really made my day. Hope you like this one.

Important note for "Is": You reviewed as an anonymous so I couldn't reply and you didn't leave an email. Of course I do not mind if you use my poems. It would be an honor. Use it as you wish. And Thank you. Would it be too much to ask you to send me a copy after they sing it? If you can't then no problem. Thanks :)

Forever together

I loved her and she loved me

I wanted to be with her forever

And so did she

"But I still don't understand. Why us?" Damien asked as he stared at the falling snow outside the window. By now everyone was in the room and had been informed of everything. I put a hand on his shoulder and squeezed a little, I could tell that he couldn't imagine his wife in their hands. I pictured Bella in her place and the thought was unbearable.

"The Volturi seek the powerful. They fear us Damien. Clearly they are no match to us together. We are much more stronger than all of them together. That's what they fear." I explained softly.

"Still. They can't think that we're going to…to…to take over or something."

"That's exactly what they think." I cut in quietly. He did not want to use our power, that much was clear but there was a sadness behind all this that I could not put my finger on. I felt it but I couldn't tell where it came from. "Damien?"

"It's nothing." He breathed once he sensed my anxiousness.

He had his back to us so I couldn't see his face. I turned a little and saw Bella staring at his hands which I now noticed were fisted. I met her concerned gaze and I saw the question in her eyes rather than heard it in her head.

What's wrong?

I shook my head to indicate that I didn't know.

"Are you alright Damien?" I heard Esme's voice whisper.

"Yes, I am."

I frowned.

Edward do you sense anything from him? Jasper doesn't. Carlisle thought.

I concentrated on his emotions trying to decipher what was behind that blanket of sadness. There was something….something brewing underneath it. Anger? No, fury. Fear? Terrifying fear. Panic and …weakness??? I didn't understand.

"Hey! Come here." Bella called lightly from her seat on the small couch patting the spot beside her.

He sighed and went to sit beside her. "Yes?" he said as he stared at his intertwined hands. He was hunched over his knees with his elbows resting on them and his head not facing Bella.

"Do you want a blue book too?" She mumbled with a small smile as she strained around his arm to see his face.

Blue book?

Damien chuckled and shook his head, "no. It won't work."

"Then will you talk to me?"

He sighed and rubbed his face with his hands, leaned back and stared at her. Just stared but that seemed to be enough for Bella. Because recognition lit her eyes and they tightened.

"This is about Rosalinda isn't it?" She whispered as she took his hand in hers.

"Who else could it be about?" He groaned as he let his head fall on her shoulder. That shouldn't have bothered me so much but it did. I kept silent and didn't comment.

She stroked his hair comfortingly, "Tell me."

He pulled away and his face was a mask of disbelief, like he couldn't see why she needed to ask. "She's there. With them. And they know she told me. Do you think they'll just accept an apology and move along?" the panic within him started to creep on his voice as he threw out his worries.

I looked at Carlisle immediately. Damien's panic was starting to stir my own. Carlisle frowned. He's right. His wife is in danger. He thought. Of course.

"How didn't I think of that before I told her to tell me? How could I put her in danger of getting hurt again? How? What kind of a husband am I?..." He was now pacing, his panic making him agitated.

"Damien!" I called quickly to stop his break down. "From what I've heard about her from both of you I could see that she is smart. She must've thought about that before she even came to Bella. She must've had some kind of plan. Any kind of plan." She must have.

"Of course Damien. Rosalinda might be careless when it comes to you but not stupid." Bella agreed along with me.

Damien shook his head and frowned, "No, no that won't work. Aro would read her mind. What if he did? What if whatever plan she had… fell? What if…"

"Damien! You're.." Bella and I called together to stop his long list.

"What?!" he shouted anxiously.

"Insane." But it was none of us who said that small word. We were all silent as we saw how Damien froze at the sound of the voice. Carlisle and Esme, who were standing in front of the door moved aside and…Rosalinda was there. Leaning against the threshold with her arms folded and her blonde waves falling till her elbows.

"Rosalinda!" Bella squealed cheerfully. Rosalinda smiled at her.

"Hello there." She waved with one hand and smiled at the rest of us till her eyes met Damien's wide ones. He was still stunned to silence, apparently he couldn't move either.

"Thank you Bella and Edward for protecting my intelligence. It would be so inconvenient to have my own husband think I'm that idiotic." Even though she was talking to us she never moved her eyes away from Damien.

We chuckled a little but stopped when we found that Damien was…shaking. He backed a little and sat on the edge of the bed with his wide eyes still on her. She came in slowly, walking or more like gliding in till she was right in front of him that he had to crane his upwards so he could see her face. Slowly she kneeled down tills she was sitting on her knees on the floor in front of him. Her hands on his thighs and her eyes staring into his. They both looked as though they were about to cry.

"Rosalinda…You're…here…really…truly…here." His voice was strangled as he shakily touched her face and stroked her cheek.

"I am, my dearest husband. I am here and I am yours. Will you take me back into your life as your wife?" she croaked as she held his hand to her face.

I think, by now, we were invisible to them because once the word 'wife' was out of her mouth he drew her in for a not so very chaste kiss. Wrapping his arms around her and burying his fingers in her hair and she the same.

I looked at Carlisle and he nodded. Esme who already had tears herself pushed Emmet and Rosalie and Jasper and Alice out of the room. I leaned in and slipped my arms under Bella and carried her. She had a small smile on her face and she was wiping her tears with her sleeve. I walked us out of the door. After all these years apart, they deserved some husband and wife privacy. I smiled as I closed the door behind me on them.

Be happy brother. Were my last thoughts to him as I walked down the corridor.

Damien's POV

"Oh no, you were first." She laughed touching her index finger to my nose.

I rolled my eyes and laughed, "come on, you had a crush on me from the first time you saw me. Admit it!" I rolled us till she was on top of me so that her hair fell over my face.

"If I remember correctly, I wasn't the one who ogled and stuttered the first time I brought you food."

"That was because you are beautiful." I defended with a chuckle, "that doesn't mean I fell head over heels for you from the first moment. We men don't fall that easily." I lifted my nose high and snorted. It's been hours, no less than five. But we enjoyed each other's company too much that we weren't ready yet to see someone outside our bubble.

"Oh really?" She batted her eyes mesmerizingly and stared intensely into mine. I forgot everything. The only thing I could think of was one word. Beautiful. I pulled her down for a slow, loving kiss.

She smiled against my lips and pulled away. I sighed, "I guess I'm hopeless when it comes to you." I murmured tucking her hair behind her ear.

"You're also defenseless." She breathed, "just like me." And leaned in again.

"How far away do we need to go?" Bella laughed as I drove the car away from the hotel.

"In this case. Very far. I'm thinking Japan." I said as I concentrated on driving more than I should. I was still in Damien's head, like I had a choice. I tried to block it but it wasn't easy, so I took Bella and made a run for it. She was having fun at my discomfort. "Please distract me." I was ready to beg for it, too.

She laughed, "Ok, ok. Sorry. Um….how did she come here without them?"

"She ran away. And they won't come today because they're still debating. They know we're ready." I answered quickly, "now could you please talk about anything besides Damien and Rosalinda. please Bella. I'm begging you." I cringed.

"Even though I'm having too much fun, I'll save you. We need to talk about something." She sighed.

"Anything." I approved. I was willing to talk about anything in the world right now.

"Pull over." Her voice was serious. My eyebrows pulled together but took a few turns making sure we were in a safe distance, then obeyed. I kept the key in the ignition to keep the heater on for Bella. I pulled the brakes and turned a little in my seat to face her.

"What is it?" I asked.

She reached and took both my hands in hers. "You asked me to be honest with you. Do you still want that?"

"Bella." I whispered.

"hm?" She looked up and met my eyes.

"I don't want you to be afraid to tell me anything. I should be the only one you don't have to think when you talk to. I'm different now, I will listen to what you say and we will discuss it. No more rash decisions." I promised rubbing her hands lightly.

She nodded without breaking our gaze. "Ok." She took a deep breath, "Edward, I want to be a vampire. Please just think about it. We could be like Damien and Rosalinda. Forever together. No matter what."

I touched her face with my fingertips, she sighed and her eyes fell closed as she leaned her head in my hand a little till my hand cupped her face. "Forever together…" I breathed, "I like the sound of that."

Her eyes flew open, shock and hope filling them, "you do?" her voice filled with disbelief.

I smiled, "I do." I liked the sound of those two words too. "I was going to ask you if you still wanted me to change you…"

"Really?" She looked like a child who hoped for something so out of reach and had someone telling him it's in her closet.

I cupped her face with both my hands and leaned in to burn my eyes into hers, "really. I was going to ask you, right after I ask you if you would want to be …wife." And I held my breath.

Bella's gasp was loud and her eyes were wide. This moment of anticipation of her reaction was torturous. I hadn't planned it that way, I just couldn't hold it any longer. I had to get it out of me before I would explode. I loved her and she loved me. I wanted to be with her forever and so did she. That was enough to make me fantasize about a wedding day every minute of the day.

I felt my insides contract as I awaited her response. I almost told her to forget everything I said in fear of her rejection. But then what if she said yes? I did not dare to breathe as I gauged her reaction carefully. Her eyes filled her eyes that very quickly fell down her face and a smile broke through her face that made her look like she was glowing, I'd never seen her look so….joyous!

She threw herself in my arms and cried as she tightened her grip around my neck, I felt my smile tug and then widen. This reaction was simple but it was Bella. Simplicity was one of the many things I loved about her.

"yes." She croaked in a thick voice. "yes for both."

I tightened my arms around her and my smile became toothy, I was about to tell her how much she made me happy but I glanced something that made me freeze.

"Bella!" I pulled away and stared at her.

"What?" She whispered confused, whipping her teas away.

"Your legs…they twitched." I stammered as my eyes dropped to them. She gasped and looked down at them with me. "Try to move them again." I said hopefully.

I felt Bella hesitate and I knew why. She was afraid, it won't be easy if they didn't move after giving her hope. So I wrapped an arm around her waist and breathed in her ear, "Forever together…No matter what."

She met my eyes and nodded, "no matter what." She whispered and looked back at her leg. She took one deep shaky breath and let it out. Then she…lifted her right leg.

Bella covered her mouth with her hands as she moved her left leg and it moved with her. My smile should've hurt my cheeks but even if it did I wouldn't have noticed. In a second I was out of the car and at her door, I opened it and held my hand to her.

She took it shakily and lifted her legs and set them on the snowy ground. Her wet eyes met mine as she pushed herself off the seat and stood up! I heard her low sobbing as she walked to me. I took a few steps back to make her walk more, I couldn't help it I missed this. She her hand fell from her mouth and I could see her beautiful smile, the way it made me feel was indescribable.

I pulled her to me so I could hug her and show her how insanely happy I am but she tripped and I caught her. I laughed and she laughed with me as I drew her in to me.

I chuckled, "Bella's back!"

A/N: soooo???? Please tell me. Nervous is an understatement to what I feel right now.

Terry: Yay! I have a song too. I love it! Thank you!!!!!!
