Hey, I know its two days late, but that's because I want MORE reviews. I know that sounds selfish, but come on, how hard is it to type five words and hit 'submit'. Plus, you get previews to hold you till the next chapter. And if only eight people are reading this, that's really disappointing. I sent out previews earlier today. I know they didn't give much away, but that was the point. Okay, here's chapter 5.

EPOV

Carlisle was talking to the others about what I had. I couldn't hear what they were talking or thinking about, because this pain is overwhelming my body and nothing is function properly. Why did they leave the room? Was someone else hurt? Did Rosalie attack Bella? She seemed pretty angry. But would Rosalie do that? And would the others let her.

My thoughts were interrupted by Carlisle coming in the room with Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, and a healthy looking Bella. Where was Emmet?

"Where's Emmet? Is he alright?" Carlisle kept his normal calm mask on, Rosalie looked sad, and Bella looked worried.

"Honey," Bella started. She sounded as if talking to an infant. "We know what you have and the cure is, but Emmet caught what you have. Everyone in here has taken precautions so they don't catch what you have. We are going to bring you to Emmet's room so we can explain the cure to both of you."

"Alright, should I walk over there, Carlisle? Is it safe?" I questioned. I don't want to be dependent on other people, but I don't want my condition to worsen.

"No, Jasper and I will carry you. Now, Edward you will experience a good bit of pain when you are lifted, so try not to move too much." Carlisle explained. I couldn't show the pain for Bella's sake. She looked as if she was as in as much pain as me when I screamed.

Carlisle and Jasper carried me to Emmett's room with the worried girls following behind. I couldn't help but writhe in pain. The pain started at the base of my neck, and traveled, like tiny shards of glass, to my heart. From there it coursed through my veins and retreated back to the base of my neck, just to shoot through me again. It was like throbbing, I guess you could say, but instead of blood pound in my body it felt like glass. Not to mention it was all over my body, not just one spot. When they set me down on the bed, I relaxed considerably, but the recollection of pain was still settled on my body like a thick blanket.

"Emmett, can you understand what I'm saying? I'm going to explain the cure." Carlisle was trying to get a response from Emmett, but it took a minute for Emmett to say anything.

"Yeah, Carlisle, I hear ya. The pain has stopped for a little while, so explain away." Emmett looked annoyed, but I think it was the little bit of leftover pain he had between each spasm.

"Well, the only way to cure this disease is to drink a human's blood, then change them and drink they're venom. If we don't do this in three weeks, you will turn into dust and we can't bring you back from that. 

Two vampires only need one human and the human will change much faster from the amount of venom. Bella has volunteered for you two. I know you're reluctant to change Bella before the wedding, but you need to consider it. It will be easier to change someone who already know about us." I was not going to let Bella get changed this way. Why would Carlisle even suggest that? The pain increased every time I got angrier.

"No, I won't let her, it's too dangerous. I will find someone else." I growled. Great, now Bella looked sad and maybe even scared?

"Please, Edward. I will still marry you after all this is done, and we both get what we want and you will be healthy." She was pleading, and I almost caved, but I must hold my ground.

"Bella why do you look scared?"

"Oh, I'm not scared of you, I'm scared for you. The pain must be getting worse now since you're angry. Well, that's how it worked when I got sick. So, will you please change me? Why bring some innocent person into this?" Bella had this painfully sad look on her face. How could I deny her anything? But, I couldn't damn her to this life so soon. There are so many experiences she hasn't had. Maybe I should just do it.

"Yeah, come on man, just let her do it. She already knows about us, so we won't have to teach her anything and the change will be faster. Please, it'll just be easier and you know you want it too." Emmett's right, I do want her to be with me for eternity and she wouldn't have to go through as much pain as the rest of us. We wouldn't even have to explain anything to her. But, will she be angry after the change, for not finishing her human experiences.

"Give me a day to think about it. Carlisle said we had three weeks anyway." Rosalie didn't look happy that Emmett would have to spend another day in pain, but I need time to think this over.

"Alright, but I need Alice and Rosalie to get each of you something to drink. The pain will lessen with blood in your system. Please, Edward, don't take too long. After about a week you start getting permanent damage." Carlisle didn't look happy I was waiting either. I promised myself I would have a decision by tomorrow.

After Carlisle finished speaking, Alice and Rosalie went hunting. Jasper decided to go as well, since he would have to be around Bella more often. It didn't look like she was leaving my side anytime soon. Bella started pacing. I guess she picked that up from me. Emmet's pain seemed to come every two minutes, along with his scream.

Bella suddenly started talking. "I need to call Charlie and tell him I'll be staying here till you get better. I'll tell him you have a bad stomach flu and you need the company. He might be difficult, but I think if I told him Emmett came home to visit and he caught it too, then he might say yes." She looked worried. I hope Charlie said yes. I don't want to be alone. It will just add to the pain. Bella dialed Charlie's number, and since she was in such close range I could hear the conversation.



"Hey, dad. Edward caught a really bad stomach flu and I was just wondering if I could stay here till Edward gets better. I would have Alice come pick-up my stuff since she's already out." Bella bit her full lips. Something she always does when she's nervous.

"I don't know Bells. I don't know what I'll do about food. I'm just kidding. All right, but as soon as he gets better I want you home." Charlie had humor in his voice when he said the first part. He agreed rather quickly, surprisingly. I took him awhile to even acknowledge me after we announced our marriage and know he's letting Bella stay over. I guess he's warming up.

"Thanks, dad. I'll see you soon. Bye."

"Bye, Bells." Bella hung up the phone but quickly dialed another number. I assume she was calling Alice, but she wouldn't have her phone on. She'll have to leave a message.

"Hey, Alice, it's Bella. I wanted to ask you if you could pick up some of my clothes at my house. Charlie is letting me stay over till Edward gets better, and I didn't want to leave Edward alone. Thanks, Alice. And, no, this doesn't mean you can go shopping for me. See you soon." Bella stopped pacing and crawled onto the bed with me. Her body didn't feel as warm as usual on my flesh, but it wasn't her who changed. I had become less cool. Most people think the only reason vampires are cold are because our hearts don't beat, but it also protects us from catching diseases, well most diseases. Nothing can happen to hurt your body when you are below a certain temperature.

"Edward, I'm not trying to be rude, I truly am curious, why won't you change me. It's going to happen anyway. Why not get it over with." Her depthless doe eyes looked up at me. It was almost like I was looking into her soul.

"Well, the most obvious reason, I wanted to be married first. I know you promised to marry me after, but it won't be the same, because no one human will be able to attend. Another reason is that you haven't had all the human experiences I want you to have. Lastly, I'm just not ready. I don't want to damn your soul just yet." Bella looked like she was on the verge of tears.

"Oh, Edward. None of that matters as long as you stay alive. I just need you. I love you." Bella cried in my arms as I rubbed her back. Eventually, I hummed her lullaby and she fell asleep in my arms. I didn't have to worry about being cold, since my body temperature has risen. I wished we could stay in this moment forever. I loved my Bella.

Okay, that's my chapter. If you want me to update faster, give me more reviews. Please. I know the preview was vaguer than the actual chapter, but that was the point. So remember, Review for a preview. Cheesy, I know. I'll update soon! Also, I put up a poll on my profile. You have to guess my age!
