A/N: So sorry this took so long. I've been going crazy getting ready to go back to school, while trying to see and do a ton of other to my beta for getting my butt in gear to write this chapter. Happy Birthday Stretch!

This is the last chapter but I may do some out takes.

I apologize in advance for any spelling and grammar mistakes, I wanted to get it up as soon as possible. I'll probably re post after my beta has a chance to look it over for me.

I want to thank all the readers who reviewed. It means a lot to know that someone else likes what I've written.

Chapter 12

Apov.

I took the girls out for some last minute shopping before we left for home. We had been to three stores before she topped to get Bella something to eat. Her stomach was so loud that other humans could actually hear it. We stopped at a little café and fed her.

"so now that you have food are you going to tell us how your night went" Rose asked exasperated at having to ask, and causing Bella to turn as red as my shoes. She could be really impatient, but then again she didn't have the ability to see the future like I did.

"That's kind of personal Rose" she mumbled while starring intently at her coffee.

"it's ok sweetheart, we won't judge you if nothing happened." Esme said, always the comforting one. If only she knew that really happened last night.

"Oh something happened." I said before I could stop myself.

"Alice! You were watching?" she shrieked.

"Only because Edward asked me to! He wanted an extra set of eyes, just in case he lost control, and he almost did Bella. Besides you know there are no secrets in this family. "

"I know that. But you saw, there is a difference in knowing and seeing Alice." I felt guilty a girls first time should be personal, but there was no way I could have just ignored Edward request to keep her safe. She is my sister and my best friend. I thought I had lost her once and it drove me crazy, I couldn't just let it happen; not if I could stop it.

"I only looked to see if you would be safe, and I only paid attention to his control. I promise."

"its ok. You were just looking out for me." She said then smiled. "Soon you won't have to." I laughed, she was right. Soon I would have my best friend forever as my sister.

"Ok so now you have to spill. It's not fair that Alice knows." Rose said smirking. She did have a point.

"should I even bother to fight?" she asked looking at me.

"Nope."

"Ugh. Fine. It started out in the bath tub. Which is a good thing, the water help to…."

Bpov.

I can't believe that I hold them what happened. It so unlike me to do that, but it felt good to have them know in a weird sorta way. It made me more a part of the family. Like I was one step closer to being a Cullen. I laughed at the thought.

"What's so funny?" Edward asked from behind me.

"Oh, nothing. Just a silly thought is all."

"You know I hate it when you do that." I turned to face him. I knew he hated not knowing my thoughts, but I didn't do that. My brain was just wired funny.

"Do what?"

"Dismiss your thoughts, as if they are nothing. Do you know what I'd give to hear your thoughts?" I smiled. I was the only one out of his reach, I was able to keep things to myself, like no one else.

"Yes, well maybe after you will be able to." I joked. His smile was hopeful and that made me giggle.

Soon we were back on the private plane heading back to reality. To a world in which time alone with Edward would happen mostly while I was asleep. Where we would be able to share ourselves as we had during this trip. That thought was enough to make me cry. But then I remember the words Edward had shared this morning, as I dragged every task out to try and make our time last.

"As wonderful and amazing as this past week has been, think about what we have to look forward to. Once you are my wife, we can do that anytime we want. The things we can do and share once you are mine forever, Bella, they make everyday feel like it will never end." He sighed and sat down on the bed. I walked over to him and took his face in my hands. I gently pressed my lips to his, I didn't push. I wanted it to be like our first. This time I was the one to pull away.

He sighed again and pulled me on to his lap; so my back was flush with his chest. He pressed his nose into my neck and breathed deep. " As much as I want you to be mine forever. I want the last months of your human life to be happy, and as normal as possible. That is why I gave in to our desires. Most humans don't wait until they are married to have sex. Many don't even wait to be in love. What we have is so much greater than that, Bella. So until we are married, we will wait, to relive that." I wanted to protest, to tell him that, that was a step backwards; but I couldn't. I wanted to wait. To continue in our relationship as it had been. We were closer emotionally then we had ever been before, and that was enough to last until the bedding. So I nodded my head in agreement.

This past week had been perfect. Everything had changed, yet it was exactly the same. Edward and I were closer than ever, but we both knew that there was still distance, that could only be closed with marriage, and an eternity together.

"Earth to Bella." I was startled back into the present by Emmett's booming voice and laughter, nearly falling out of the chair I was sitting in. only the seat belt kept me in place.

"What?" I asked trying to sound as annoyed as possible, but it was rather funny; even to me.

"We're home, love." Edward said standing up and undoing my seat belt. I smiled as I stood.

"Home" I said before kissing him passionately one last time before we turn and stepped back in to the cloudy, wet green town that had given me everything I never dreamed of.

Thank you for reading my story. please review.
