I finally left the bed. As I got up it gave a final groan of protest and its legs gave way. Not expecting it to collapse I fell back onto it, my mind still befuddled with the thought of Edward's body. His perfect thighs, marble white and just as strong, his hips and his perfect, no I couldn't think of that... his perfect stomach, the smooth contours of his abs, his perfect shoulders, wide and impressive. Warm feelings filled the pit of my stomach, I reluctantly shook myself out of that pleasurable daze with regret.

I had been wrong, there was something better than blood, even human blood.

Edward.

I had a quick shower, vampires didn't really get dirty, well, we didn't sweat, our hair didn't get greasy in fact the only fluids we seemed to create was saliva, and regular showers were just a force of habit, but a pleasant one. I got dressed in a silk shirt and short wool skirt, luxuriating in the feel of the material on my still damp, over-sensitised skin. I slipped my feet into a pair of 6 inch peep toe heels marvelling at the length they added to my legs as I did up the straps that went around my ankles. Now I was a vampire my legs were long but in these heels, my legs seemed to be endless columns of marble, soaring as high as those in a Grecian temple, finely sculpted by master craftsmen. I never would have worn such heels when I was a human, I was far too clumsy, stubbing my toes when barefoot and managing to find the smallest cracks in paths to trip over when wearing the flattest shoes, but now I could practically float in them, sure I would never fall, even over cobbles.

I minced to the house, to find Alice; she met me at the door of the house flitting, fey like, around me and admiring my outfit, I gave her a hug to stop her chatter about it. Her grace as she had danced around me almost convinced me she had wings. We went up to her room; Jasper was sprawling on the bed looking incredibly comfortable but got up as we entered her room and left muttering darkly something about girls, talking and pitch.

We were chatting comfortably about Renesme, how quickly she was growing up. Then our conversation almost predictably turned to that of boys. I told her about last night with Edward and how fantastic it was. She smirked and told me that she and Jasper were still having that much fun, as were Rosalie and Emmet and even Carlisle and Esme. I shivered with pleasure at the thought, rejoicing in vampires apparently endless stamina.

Suddenly Alice froze and went rigid, her elfin features contored in concentration. I knew she was seeing something the future, usually she had to look but sometimes it came unbidden to her.

'Edward and Jacob are going to have issues.' She finally told me. 'I'm not entirely sure what, but you'll really need to help them both. It'll be hard for both of them.'

My heart sank. They'd be fighting, I knew it. Edward had always had issues with the fact that Jacob had imprinted on her, that Jacob had liked me before he imprinted, that Jacob was a werewolf and as such the natural enemy of vampires and maybe worst of all, Jacob stank, with his vampire-strength senses, to high heaven. I resolved to help them, to stop them from fighting by forcing them together, letting both know that both Renesme and I would feel a lot better if they were friends. I knew Renesme would help me get them together.

'Alice, I've got to go,' I said after a pause. 'I need to find Renesme, we need to try and sort out those issues that you foresaw.'

'Mmm.' Alice seemed distracted. 'Well you know the future isn't fluid. Good luck.'

While looking for Renesme I found Edward talking to Carlisle, I caught the last part of their conversation, from the tone of it Edward did seem to be having issues with Jacob, this only stiffened my resolve. I gave him a peck on the cheek and returned to my quest to find Renesme.

I found Renesme in the Cullen den, it was a place where all the technology they had collected over the years was kept. Her golden curls usually not a hair out of place were slightly mussed but that if anything only made her look more beautiful, her perfect peach smooth cheeks were flushed slightly with excitement. She was investigating a large box with a microphone which she assured me was a karaoke machine. She also asked me what instant messaging was, when I looked at her in confusion, she gestured at an ancient computer, and I then remembered back in Phoenix that it had been a way of communicating with the few people at my school who spoke to me.

I kissed her cheek and told her how fantastic it had been when Edward and Jacob had worked together to buy her that necklace.

'You should ask them to take you somewhere together... Maybe shopping?' I suggested to her.

'Is this a way of forcing them to get along?' my daughter asked.

I glanced around avoiding her eyes. Her face brightened. I felt waves of happiness and love surround me.

'That's actually a decent idea mother.' She told me, her voice flutelike and melodious. 'I'll go find Father and Jacob now, ask them to take me shopping for a pretty new dress. I only have a few dresses that still fit me.'

I beamed as my daughter ran off to find the two men I loved most in my life. I remembered when it had been so bad between Edward and Jacob that parts of my engine had been removed by Edward to protect me. I had loved feeling so possessed but it had been a bit inconvenient. Now I was a vampire I felt more equal with Edward in some ways, it wasn't such a miracle that he liked me because I still wasn't as beautiful and perfect looking as him, but I was far better looking than when I was human. I didn't need him anymore, he didn't need to protect me and I missed that feeling of needing protection.

Little did I know the consequences that my plan would have.

And there it is, I hope you enjoyed it.
