You know the routine I say sorry and then you continue to read on so please don't stop now!

I OWN NOTHING STEPHENIE MEYER DOES!

Exactly at ten Alice appeared at the door. Mall appropriate clothes in hand. She handed them to me and then told me to change quickly. When I was done I went to stand next to Jack. By then everyone was in the house, Rosalie, Emmett, Edward, Bella, Alice and Jasper.

"Are we ready to make this a very fun filled family gathering?" I asked laughing as I did.

"Come on let's go!" Alice said already out the door by the time the last part of her sentence got to us.

"You weren't lying when you said she liked to shop were you?" Jack whispered to me.

"We never joke about Alice and her shopping." I said back at him, a smile on my face. It seemed that I wasn't going to have to work hard to keep this afternoon light.

"Don't worry Jack we have all been dragged with her at one point or the other and we're fine. If it gets really bad just think what poor Jasper has to deal with." Emmett commented on his way out.

Jack and I walked outside to the waiting family. There were two cars. Edward's Volvo, which wasn't a surprise, and Rosalie's BMW. That was a little surprising she usually didn't like to take it out when it was rainy and muddy. Jack, Emmett, Rosalie, and myself got into the BMW. The others went with Edward. On the way there, Emmett and Jack talked about various things. Rosalie and I talked about what we wanted to get.

We pulled into the parking lot twenty minutes later. The guys decided it was smart to stay out of our way and went off. That made me a little sad I didn't get to stay with Jack but I knew they would watch out for him.

"Have fun Bella." Rosalie jokingly said.

"She will." Alice replied back with a smile.

You couldn't help but laugh at them.

We parted ways after a few more comments.

I had to admit Rosalie was a great shopper. She would pick out pretty clothes and the skirts and dresses weren't too short.

"I don't see why Bella was complaining. You're much better at knowing limits than Alice." I said smiling as I looked at myself in the dressing room mirror.

"She has a different version of too short or too low cut." She said this as she was nodding in approval at my outfit.

After a few more hours we had gone to almost every store in the mall. I had a whole new wardrobe. So I was done. Rosalie was as well. My phone started going off in my pocket. I looked at the caller ID and it was Jack.

"Hi." I said

"Hey. The guys and I are done and we were calling to see if you were done? Edward is calling Bella." He said.

"Yep we're done. Where are you at?"

"We are right in the center of the mall. We figured it would be an easy place to meet." He said.

"I'll be there as fast as I can." He knew that meant as fast as I could with other humans around. With that we hung up, feeling no need for a goodbye when we would see each other in a few minutes.

We soon spotted the guys and Bella and Alice were already with them.

"I missed you." I whispered into his ear as I ran up to him and hugged him.

"I missed you too. I still say I should have stayed with you."

"You would have been bored going into all the frilly stores and dressing rooms." I replied.

"No I could never be bored with you." He said so sweetly. I may sound stupid but I can't help it! If you saw him like this you would be too.

"Next time." I said and kissed him.

"As it was I had fun with them." He nodded over to Edward, Emmett, and Jasper. They were also tangled up with their significant other.

"Really?" I was glad that he was getting along with them so well.

"Yeah Emmett and Edward almost got kicked out of a store." He said smiling. Everyone heard him say this. Bella and Rosalie looked up at their husbands, Alice didn't look surprised and Jasper just looked amused.

"What happened?" Bella asked.

"Nothing out of the ordinary." He replied.

"Emmett?" Rosalie questioned.

"We might have gotten into an argument and been a little loud… and destructive." He added looking down but a smile was still on his face.

"How much damage did you do?" Bella asked.

"Not too much, only a few shelves worth." Edward stated simply.

"What was the argument over?" I asked, now curious.

"They were arguing over who could ask the stupidest questions to the employees." Jasper answered.

"And by the end of it not only were the employees extremely annoyed but Emmett and Edward decided to start throwing the balls at each other." Jack finished.

Oh they were in one of the wrost stores to be in with them, the sports store.

After hearing everything else that went on we decided to leave.

When we got back home, Jack included. We all went our separate ways. I think everyone wanted alone time with the ones they loved. So Jack and I went upstairs to my room.

"Welcome to my room, although you've already seen it. Anyway I hope you don't mind, but this is where you'll be staying while you're here." I said looking at him.

"Of course not. Why would I mind staying in here with you?" he asked looking confused.

"I don't know, it still seems weird."

"What does?" he asked back.

"That you really want me." I can't believe I sounded so insecure. I was how old? And I still sound like a teen needing reassurance that my boyfriend isn't going to leave.

"Of course I want you, in every way possible. I love you." He said coming over to me and holding me tight.

"I love you too." I replied, enjoying him holding me.

"That's good." He laughed.

When I didn't laugh like I usually do at his cute little remarks, he noticed.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

I wanted to keep things light but I knew that if I didn't talk about what was really on my mind, besides Nate, I wasn't going to bring it up for a while.

"I don't know how to start this." I said.

"The beginnings always good." He was looking down at me encouragingly.

"Ok look I'm not asking… no that's not thw right way to say that. I'm…" you would think I would be better with words. "…Trying to inform you, that's a better way to say it. I want you to know that this is completely your choice." I looked at him to make sure he understood.

"Continue." He said simply.

"If and I put emphasis on if and only if you want I… this is just one option and it is definitely not the only one, but I could make you like me." I rushed out the last part.

He just looked at me. I think he was trying to process.

"Remember it's only one option and only if you would want it." I stated again, just to be clear.

"I could be like you?" he asked still thinking.

"Yes and all that comes with it." I wanted to make sure he was clear on the bad sides of being like me. I assumed that he was thinking of the immortality, speed, strength, and hopefully me.

"Like you." he didn't ask this one he just stated it.

"Yes I would be included in this but I'm already with you. So don't let me be the factor that decides this." I said

"What else?" he asked.

"Horrible blood lust for a few years. You won't be able to see your family again. Moving a lot is also included in this life." I said.

"And the good?" he asked again.

"The speed, strength, freedom that eventually comes, and if you're lucky you find a family." I said.

"Like you did." He said.

"Yes."

"So why wouldn't I want this?" he asked.

"All of the bad that I told you. Have you ever had a sore throat to the point that if you weren't able to speak and if you tried you wanted to die?" It may sound harsh but I was trying to make him fully understand what he was saying. I really wasn't trying to talk him out of this.

"Yes." He said as he looked at me questioningly.

"Well imagine that pain and intensify it by 100. That's what the blood lust feels like. If you were to get too close to a human, you wouldn't even realize what you were doing until it was done and they were dead." I had to tell him this. If he was going to choose this then he had to know what he was getting into.

"And how long would this last?" he asked.

"It depends. Some of us are more immune to it than others, and time helps. Jasper for instance has had a harder time than the others, Bella on the other hand has an amazing immunity to it." I told him.

"Where do you fall in this?" he questioned.

"Like I said time helps. I've been around for a while so I'm pretty good at it, but I wasn't in the beginning. I've made my faire share of mistakes." I said honestly.

"And by mistakes I assume you mean deaths." He said calmly. That irritated me. How could he discuss my slip-ups so calm and collected?

"No, I mean murders. I murdered those people. They had lives, family and friends. I took that away. Listen to me I sound like Edward. I swore to myself that I was going to give you the information and let you decide what you wanted." I finished mostly talking to myself.

He wrapped me in his arms again and kissed me.

"How can you do that? Especially after everything I just told you?" I asked.

"You." he said and I was confused.

"What?" I asked truly bewildered.

"I choose you and I want to be with you. I'm never going to find this type of love again and I'm not going to let you go." He said and kissed me before I could even respond to his craziness.

So sorry it took forever but I'm in a few of the honors classes and I had a lot of work so please forgive me and if you want another chapter review. I promise the more reviews I get I will update faster!
