"Shall we hunt?" Alice asked me in her graceful tone of voice. I was standing with her in the middle of the forest on a chilly late afternoon, the sun was hiding behind the tall trees in our new home: Canada. We were staying in a small town called Wragell, buying one of the older mansions that was deserted and Esme refurbished the home to make it suitable for us. Alice and Jasper came with us on our trip, and we felt as though they were a part of our family officially. Carlisle was interested in how Alice's ability works, along with Jasper's as well. Being able to see the future, and how to feel and manipulate the emotions of others. Jasper was so reserved, very close to Alice whenever we would have our family meetings or hunting in the woods.

Alice and I ran through the woods, and I saw how fast she was compared to me. I tried to keep up with her, but the way she moved and how small she was, it was like following smoke in the darkness: nearly impossible. Alice was giggling while she was running in front of us, like she was playing a game with me of cat and mouse. Compared to Rosalie, whom was determined when it came to hunting, Alice was more of a child at heart and more excited to just run around with soil under her toes and the wind against her granite skin.

She stopped suddenly, and I realized we were by Anita Bay. The wind was real crisp, and the scent of the pine trees were different from the trees in Washington, fuller with a hint of snow on them. I saw Alice in front of me, looking around in front of the both of us and having a warm smile on her face. It was like she was discovering a new world around her, and how her face was evidence showing her excitement and joy.

"I have never met a vampire like you before." I said aloud, walking over to her and seeing her look back at me. Her eyes were black, showing she needed to feed and get some blood in her system, yet she was still stunning as a small being.

"And you as well, you're so nice and gentle. I've met female vampires before you and your sister, and they are quite...territorial." Alice explained to me and I raised a eyebrow at her.

"Territorial?" I asked her in wonder.

"Well I would understand. Some people underestimate me and what I can do." Alice said to me in a shrug. I smiled from her remark, seeing how we were similar in that department. WE decided to walk then, thinking it was nicer to just enjoy the scene around us in Canada.

"So, you saw Sam and myself in the future?" I asked her, still thinking of how unusual it was for her to see us in the future. She merely nodded her head, as if it was a normal thing to see the future. It would be for her, since she would see the future constantly.

"You both were sitting in the forest together, and you shared a kiss." Alice said in a grin and I heard her giggle, sounding like beautiful bells chiming in the wind, "And by the way, I find the two of your absolutely adorable!"

"You do?" I asked her aloud, thinking some part of it was not true and others that it was.

"Very much so. I've never seen something like that happen between two vampires before, well up until I met your whole family and so how they all were to each other." Alice said aloud to me, "But I have Jasper, so I can't complain really.'

"Jasper seems more...reserved." I noted aloud and I saw Alice nod her head to my remark.

"He's still in need of some help when it comes to feeding on animals instead of humans, he was changed into a vampire only for the mere reason to make others, not to be civil. But trust me, Emma, he's very much a gentleman and very nice once to get to know him. Jasper's just shy, and timid when he meets others like him." Alice explained to me, using her hands in some of the explanation.

"He does seem like a gentleman, and a good hunter too." I added in, seeing her smile brighten from my remark.

"After we met in Philadelphia, we went down to New Orleans for a couple of years in the back country of Louisiana, only to try and get him on the diet. It's not that he doesn't approve on feeding on animals, he likes it actually." Alice said to me, looking in my direction and up since I was taller than her.

"It's only the temptation." I ended for her, "Sam was the same way when I found him. He already was a vegetarian, but it was still struggling with temptation for human blood."

"How did you meet him, if you don't mind me asking?"Alice asked me with curiosity in her tone of voice. I smiled, feeling as though I was talking to Esme or Rosalie with one of our girl conversations.

"It was a few years ago, I was on my way to see Carlisle and Esme with Wendy, the vampire who changed me. We were in Washington when I...quite literally...ran into Sam and found that he was being chased by two nomad vampires, who were after him." I explained to Alice. Her eyes went wide as they followed my every move.

"How thrilling!" She said in a excited tone, looking so engrossed in my story, "And you took him with you to the Cullens?"

"I did, and we've been with them ever since." I replied back to her, seeing her smile never leaving her face at all as we walked some more. I then saw her stand still in her spot, her body was completely still her and eyes were glazed over. It was like she just thought of something spectacular or horrid, or something else. I stayed still as well, wondering what was going on with her. Her hands were at her sides and her head straight forward, frozen in her spot.

"Alice?" I asked her aloud, seeing her blink after a few long seconds and she blinked a few more times, clearing going back to normal as she looked over at me.

"I just saw you and Sam, and you were getting married in the summer." Alice explained to me, her voice was clear and light and a small smile appeared on her face. She then walked off, like it was nothing more than a regular vision she had. But I was still in my spot, drinking in what she told me.

Sam and I, married?

"She said that?" Sam asked me as we sat out on the porch of our new home in Canada, seeing the lake right in front of us. There were more stars in Canada than there were in Washington, scattered across the sky so small and so beautiful. For once i was glad to be in a new place, seeing the new sights and hearing the new sounds of Nature. The lake was nice and quiet, the moon's reflection playing off of it and making everything a little more blue. The rest of the family, including Alice and Jasper, went off hunting for the night, so Sam and I decided to stay behind and watch the house since we already hunted the night before.

"Yes, and I was very surprised to hear it." I replied back to him as we both sat on our wooden chairs. Sam was holding my hand as I looked at him to see his reaction. He looked down for a mere moment or two, but then looked back up at me. I was surprised at his new hairstyle, slicked likely to the side and some of it hovering over his golden eyes. I loved it, giving me a excuse to run my fingers through it and receiving a lustful gaze from him.

"The both of us...married..." Sam said, trailing off in his own thoughts and I somehow felt a slipping feeling of pain. Did he not want to get married to me? I would think about us getting married to each other every once in awhile, after seeing Carlisle and Esme with their love, along with Emmett and Rosalie and their public displays of love. I wondered, as of late, if Sam and I were ever to be married.

"You don't want that?" I asked in a slow tone, as if even asking that would break him and his spirit that I fell in love with. He instantly looked at me and shook his head, a small smile on his face.

"Of course I would, how could I not with someone as beautiful as you?" He asked me aloud with a grin, reaching up with his open hand and cupping my cheek. I smiled from his remark, he always knew how to make me smile and bring me joy when I had doubt in myself.

"I was only trying to register it all in my head, since Alice and Jasper came into our lives, things are more off balance." Sam explained to me and I smiled, thinking of how Alice was already turning heads and making us smile from her quirkiness.

"To be able to see the future, how unusual." Sam said aloud, "I don't know whether to find it a burden or a opportunity."

"Well Alice thinks of it as a good thing." I replied aloud with a smile, thinking of her and how she used her ability as if it was a normal routine in her life. I was too dazed in my thoughts to feel Sam hold both of my hands in his, how soft they were and how real they felt against mine. I snapped out of my trance and looked back at Sam, seeing a small smile on his face. That smile made me feel heat inside my chest, wanting me to just kiss him and be so close to him he would be under my skin.

"I have been thinking about that." he said to me in a low tone of voice. I gave him a confused look.

"About...marriage?" I asked him in wonder, he only nodded his head and his hold on my hands tightened slightly.

"But I was afraid, since I didn't know whether you were interested in something of that nature...with me." He paused before saying the last two words. I tried to see what he was saying, if he was afraid I didn't want that with him. How would I want that with someone else, anyone else but him?

"Sam." I said, seeing him look at me with some hope in his eyes. I stood up, pulling him up with me and the two of us on the porch, being alone in the dark night and only the house lights to tint our faces and see each other.

"I can't think of being with anyone else in this world and life, but only you." I explained to him slowly, seeing him have a small smile on his face that made my heart expand and chest rise in excitement, "I don't ever want to hear or see any trace of doubt when it comes to our future, okay? We have eternity together to figure it out, and I want you beside me when we do that."

"I'm sorry about that." Sam said to me in a lighter tone, but I kept my smile on my face. He never wanted to upset me, or make be filled with rage. My emotions were his priority, and it saddened me slightly.

"Why the sudden thought of marriage?" I asked him in curiosity.

"I was having a conversation with Carlisle the other day, on how he met Esme." Sam said to me aloud, "He told me about how Esme changed so much of his perception of how to live with who we are. She brought out the best in him, and he did the same to her as well."

"They are rather perfect for one another." I said aloud in agreement with him.

"I still find it hard to believe that I ended up here, with the family, and with you." Sam said aloud, and I felt his hands going on my waist in both of a protective and intimate fashion. The temperature of his fingers seeping through the thin peach dress I was wearing and his smile was making me feel less demanding and more vulnerable. His way on me was deadly, it was possessive, and it was more than what I ever wanted in him.

"Are you glad we didn't go to Canada alone as planned?" I asked him aloud in a coy tone, placing my hands on his shoulders and feeling his muscles retract under my fingertips, his smile was bigger more, more with happiness and joy.

"Very much, but I'm glad to be anywhere with you by my side." Sam murmured back, leaning in slightly so that our foreheads could barely touch. Instantly dark veins were seen on his head, around the forehead where I was touching him, a clear sight of my ability. I was stronger now, but I had moments where It would happen without my accord and I felt a strange feeling of getting stronger by the second, only slightly and not in a big way. Sam took in a take of breath, I knew he was feeling the effect of my ability, slowly loosing his own energy.

I wanted to pull away from him, but his hold on my waist was fierce and I was going no where. Sam was getting stronger and fighting it against my ability, having more strength to hold it out and not pass out on me. But I wanted to move away, only to loose the dark veins that were mapping his face and hiding his beauty from me to see. He shook his head, feeling me trying to move away from me and his grip on my waist tightened.

"I can handle it." He said aloud, closing his eyes and having me see the veins going over his eyelids slowly, when he opened his eyes again, they immediately found mine and they were dark, with passion, "But I can't handle letting you out of my arms."

I nodded my head against his, trying my hardest to not have my ability kill him. He was strong, but one false move from me and I could kill him for touching him for so long.

"I want to marry you, Sam." I said to him in a soft tone, my arms moving to his arms and feeling the cotton on his shirt under my granite skin. But I was hesitant to tell him that I wanted to wait, that I wanted to think things through before we would get married to each other. What was there to think about though? We were in love with each other, we knew each other better than anyone else, and we would do to any length to protect the other. No one else was a wonderful, as beautiful, as perfect as Sam was.

Sam smiled slightly, his lips moving against mine as he smiled and he hushed me, the silence between us was soothing, "We have eternity." He whispered against my lips, sealing it with a soothing kiss. I responded without even thinking, keeping the kiss only simple yet loving as my grip on his arms tightened. He kissed me back, one of his hands rested on my neck and his thumb caressing my cheek as his other arm wrapped around my curved waist, wrapping around it completely and holding me tight. That moment was one of the few moments we had were our kisses were more of passion and less or shyness.

He lifted me from the ground with his arm, my legs wrapping around his waist in an instant as his fingers went through my hair. My mind was gone, my breathing was erratic against his lips as our kisses were longer and deeper, making me feel like I could die a happy vampire. A low growl came from beneath me, and I knew I wanted more as my hands were in his hair and my breathing was becoming more erratic. Sam responded to me growl, giving me a deep kiss that I thought would kill me instantly as I felt myself being pressed against the house lightly. The feeling of the wood was against my granite back as we kept kissing in the dark, away from the world and only wrapped in each other.

Sam pulled away from me, his breathing was ragged and his eyes were glazed over, the dark veins now gone and I could see he was weak. I hated seeing him weak, knowing I did that to him, but he was stubborn and wanted to take the pain I was giving him. I took in a human breath, breathing him in along with everything else around me. My legs left his waist and found the floor again, and I felt more like a vampire than a woman, but I liked it.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't acting like a gentleman." He said to me in his ragged tone, but I laughed slightly.

"Could you not be a gentleman for a mere moment or two, that was...beyond words." I said to him in a light tone, seeing a wide smile on his face as his arms were around my waist again. Something in the way he was looking at me at that point, his eyes were glazed and filled with something, and his parted lips that were enticing, I felt like I was under his trance and under his will.

"To be perfectly honest, I find it hard to keep myself composed whenever I'm around you. I want, no, I need to be able to touch you." Sam said in a low tone, leaning down to breathe against my neck so lightly I shivered, "I need to be able to breathe you in every day and night, " his nose was in my hair by my ear making me gasp, "and the need to kiss you whenever I see you so far away from me." His lips went to my shoulder, after he moved the sleeve to show my bare shoulder. I was instantly gone, my thoughts screeched to a halt and my instincts came in.

"But the family, they can hear us." I said in a slight gasp and whine as his lips went to my neck and kissed it tenderly. He came back to my eye level, his eyes now filled with lust and passion, it made my eyes glaze over as well.

"They all went hunting, and I knew they won't be back for hours." He replied to me, brushing my hair away from my eyes. He and I were on the same page then, knowing that after three years devoted to one another, that nothing was going to tears us limb from limb.

I knew I was in love with Sam when he carried me up to our bedroom, my legs around his waist and his arms around my back to hold me close as I hid my face in his shoulder blade, peppering him with kisses and promises of my love to him. He responded back, kissing my hair and whispering his love to me, his hold on me would tighten.

I knew I was in love with Sam as I felt him take out the pins in my hair and as I unbuttoned every button on his shirt and pants, seeing his chest and feeling a rush of ecstasy going through me. I would turn to face the full length mirror in our room, seeing my reflection. My peach dress was wrinkled from kissing Sam under the night sky, my hair was a mess from his fingers going through it, but I felt so vulnerable in a good way I smiled.

I knew I was in love with Sam as I felt him kiss my neck and his fingers pulling down the zipper on the back of my dress oh so slowly, kissing the skin on my back that would appear from behind the fabric and my breath would be lost. His touches were like lightning, his voice was like velvet, and his love was like fire as I pulled off his shirt and pants. We fell onto the bed, with the mere promise of eternity to be together and to be one. I had no more doubt in my brain, not then and never again.

I knew I was in love with Sam, and I knew he was in love with me too.
