Chapter 7: Turning
~Bella~
Everything was happening so fast that I needed to get away by myself. There were no doubts in my mind about where my life was leading me and had been over the past three and a half years. Now there was the anticipation of it all and the worries that seemed a constant shadow by my side. As hard as I tried, there wasn't any real way to hide my feelings from my husband and if I was being truthful I never really wanted to do that. So why had I been dumb enough to try to shoulder my concerns on my own? Over the past few days, I had grown distant focusing on our children and keeping so busy that by they time they went to bed, I was ready to go myself.
There hadn't been any one thing that caused me to storm out of the house leaving both of my babies crying and Rosalie speechless. It wasn't her fault that my daughter listened to her more than she did me. That was what I wanted while I would be going through the change. Renesmee needed someone there to sort of take my place in the off chance that something went wrong. More tears blurred my vision and I wiped them away as I continued to drive toward Boston. Beside me my cell vibrated, but I ignored it completely. A voice in the back of my head that sounded very much like Edward's begged for me to stop being such a baby and turn around. What was worse is that Edward was hunting with his brothers and was likely already heading my way, not getting a chance to take care of his needs. Would he not agree to change me once he saw how unraveled I was becoming?
"What a mess."
By the time I got to Boston and into my hotel room, I was spent. I sat down on the bed and covered my face with my hands taking in deep needed breaths of air. What had set me off was when I heard Renesmee telling Rosalie that she sometimes wished her aunt was Momma instead of me. Rose had reprimanded my two year old, telling her that wasn't the right thing to say, but by then something in me had already snapped. They caught me at the front door and Renesmee clung to my leg until I told Rosalie to take her. After that, I got in my Mercedes and now was here alone.
My cell vibrated and I shut my eyes holding it in my hands as I opened them looking at the name. It was my husband. I put the phone down and fell back against the blankets turning on my side and pulling my legs against me. Two nights ago, I had a horrible dream where the transformation ended my life. The hard part was I was stuck in limbo watching my family morn for me and my children not understanding where I had gone. My heart ached. It was a familiar hurt like when Edward had gone and I felt a hole in my chest. The hole wasn't there but it burned and more tears began to fall.
The bed vibrated next to me and I wiped away my tears hating that my hand shook as I picked up the phone. I opened it and put it to my ear. "Bella, talk to me," Edward said. His voice was full of concern and I didn't know what to say.
"I'm an hour away. Rosalie told me what Renesmee said. You know she didn't mean it, love."
All the same it hurt and I bit the back of my hand to keep from crying. I tried finding my voice, but it broke when I tried to talk and the tears I'd tried holding back came as a sob escaped me. On the other end, I heard the engine of Edward's car as it revved up. "Will you do me a favor? I want you to go in and draw a warm bath. I know you haven't been sleeping well. I will get a key. Are you at our Hotel?"
"Y...Yes," I managed.
"I won't be long."
After shutting my phone, I forced myself to move, going into the large bathroom. The tub was for baths, but was also a whirlpool and after the water was running I found a bottle of complimentary bubble bath pouring it in as another sob came and went. A few minutes later, I was soaking in the lavender scented bubbles. My hair was wet and I didn't feel any better. In my next life as a Vampire there wouldn't be any more self pitying moments. My stomach growled, but I stayed where I was with my eyes shut trying not to think about anything other than the feel of the warm almost hot water against my skin and the pleasant smell of the bubble bath. Slowly my body started to relax and with the tension leaving I felt extremely tired. Nothing else seemed to matter as my body demanded sleep and the next thing that woke me was the cold. My eyes opened and the bubbles were gone. The one bad thing about porcelain tubs was that the water never stayed warm for very long.
As I began to stand up, I heard the click of the automatic lock on the door. In the next moment, Edward was there holding out a hand with a clean robe draped over his arm. I focused on his chest not yet ready to look into my husband's eyes. Once the robe was around me my feet left the floor and the room spun only for a moment until I was cradled in his arms. His lips pressed against my forehead and I kept my eyes shut as he walked into the main room. He sat down and began to towel dry my hair not saying a word as I sat sideways on his lap. "I'm stupid and selfish and I'm so sorry," I whispered.
"You are not either of those things. You are about to undergo something that has both of us worried. We both need to do a better job about communicating our feelings to one another," Edward answered as he kissed the top of my head. We sat like that until there was a knock at the door. "I ordered room service."
"We should go home now," I said ready to protest, but he stood up and tilted my head up until we were looking at one another.
"We need time to talk, and you need something to eat," Edward answered before his lips brushed lightly against my own. As he walked to answer the door, I looked on the bed finding my duffel. Inside was a pair of sweats and a warm top. After dressing, I sat down on the bed and a moment later Edward was back with the food.
While I ate, he sat next to me with one arm around me talking to Rosalie. "She's eating. We will be back before the babies are awake. She knows that, but I will tell her." the phone was set aside and I finished off the last of the burger he had ordered for me drinking down the last bit of iced tea.
"What did Rose say?"
"She wanted me to tell you that she loves you and that she's sorry for hogging our daughter."
"I pushed it. You know when I woke up from that dream and I said I didn't remember it?"
"I do," he answered as he moved the tray away before wrapping both of his arms around me.
Taking a deep breath I began, "I dreamed that I died before the transformation could finish. I was able to see all of you so sad for losing me and a few years had gone by. You were reading to Anthony and Renesmee when he asked about me. You and our daughter told him stories about our life about spending time on the Island and he started crying saying it wasn't fair because he never got to know me. After you got them to bed, you held that picture of us I took on my eighteenth birthday and you were trying to cry. That was when I woke up crying."
Edward was very still and he kissed the top of my head a few times before he was able to speak, "I've had the same fears about losing you and I've pushed them away convincing myself that it won't ever come to pass. There is so much we don't know, but I have to believe that this will work. Carlisle was turned without any sickness or injury. There isn't any reason why this won't work," he assured as I turned, looking at him.
"I don't want the morphine, but at the same time that's going to make it hard for you seeing me hurt."
Edward brushed a strand of hair away from my face,"I will deal with that and I'm prepared for that aspect. My focus is going to be on you," he told me running his fingers through my damp hair.
"In my next life, I'm going to be more giving. All of this confusion is going to go away," I said for him and for me.
"Promise me that when something is worrying you or when you have something on your mind, you won't hesitate to tell me. We need to talk these things through so that it won't come to this," Edward said, his eyes never leaving my own.
"We both have a need to protect one another I guess," as I finished saying that I shut my eyes.
"What else are you thinking?"
My eyes opened and Edward leaned forward, kissing my lips once before he moved away watching, waiting. "Not wanting to forget anything. Worrying that when I wake up I will try to hurt you, or that some human will get to close when I'm new and I will end up killing them."
"None of us will allow that to happen. Alice has her visions and before we take you hunting for the first time Emmett and Jasper have already agreed to scope out the best places furthest from anyone who might happen our way."
His words and his touch were working on calming me down, but also churning the desires I always had for more. There were no more words we needed to speak and when I pulled away from him and stood up, Edward's eyes followed me. With slow movements I undid the robe I was wearing dropping my arms as it slid away from me. I crawled back on the bed as Edward sat up and as he reached for me, my head shook once. When he dropped his arms, I reached out unbuttoning his shirt while I moved on to his lap, straddling him. With all the buttons undone I pushed the shirt apart leaning forward as I pressed my lips at the center of his chest. One of his hands pressed against my head and I smiled as I licked circles in the one spot I'd kissed.
Edward growled and his hand moved from the back of my head traveling down the middle of my back to the base before I felt his hand pushing me as he lifted his hips. In a few more nights, hopefully at least, I would be a vampire and there wouldn't be any need for him to hold back. Since I would be stronger than Edward, I would have to be the one not to hurt him, but right now all thoughts were driven away from me as I felt his fingers brushing against my entrance. My body responded and I felt a warmth spread from my stomach to the area between my legs. My kisses moved from his chest to the base of his throat and I bit down allowing my teeth to scrap against the coldness of his hard skin. Edward growled again before both hands were on my hips lifting me away.
Before I could form a thought or move, my world spun and my back was pressed against the mattress. Edward slid all the way into me and I spread my legs apart before bringing them up and over his hips locking them against his back as I gasped his name. Edward's teeth were at my neck and I wished we were at home so he could turn me right at this very second. His hips moved away from me and his length pulled almost all the way out before he pushed back in. That movement was repeated several more times until I was struggling with the memory of how to breathe. My inner walls contracted around him and the friction of his in and out movements warmed him to me. It was a feeling I never wanted to forget and hoped would only be better once I was like him.
"Bella, my love," Edward growled lifting his head away from my shoulder as he looked at me. His movements began to get faster and I lifted my hips meeting his thrusts. crying out his name as my completion overtook everything else. Edward kissed me driving hard into me one last time. I felt his release cooling me. wrapping my legs back around him while I did the same thing with my arms holding him as I found my breath. "I love you," I whispered.
"You are my life, always," he responded kissing my neck up to my ear. He nibbled on my lobe and I rubbed my hands over his back pulling my legs higher against him as I felt his length growing rock solid once more.
~Edward~
While I drove, Bella slept in the seat next to me; her head resting against my shoulder and her hand in my free one. We made love until we realized it was time to head home. It seemed like all of her fears were now dealt with, but as her husband, I was determined to be more vigilant. In two evenings, I would bring an end to her life if only to save it from the greater threats of my world, our world. There was still a need within me to protect Bella and our children, but also this evening made me realize that Bella and I needed to face our fears and discuss the things that brought us to worry. Neither of us had been doing a very good job with that and I hoped this evening had taught us to be more open.
We were almost home when Bella awoke. As she did, I brought her hand to my lips kissing the back. "How did you sleep?"
"Better than I have in a while. Are we still on for baseball tonight?"
"If you want to go," I answered, surprised.
"We need to do as much as we can before my turning," Bella whispered.
As I stopped the car in front of our house, the garage door opened and Rosalie came out with Renesmee against her left hip. My wife was out of the car the instant the doors were unlocked and I was glad that Emmett had agreed to go into Boston with Jasper and retrieve the Mercedes.
Rosalie greeted me with a hug while Bella went into the house with our daughter, "She's been awake for a few hours wanting to see Bella. How are things?"
"Better. We haven't been talking about our concerns and it all became too much for her. Thank you for staying the night. I know you and Emmett had plans," I began, but Rosalie shook her head.
"We will find time in the next few days. Alice says she saw us at a ballgame this evening," Rose said as we entered the house.
"That seems to be the plan for the moment."
Upstairs, I found my wife in our daughter's room. Renesmee was standing at her dresser wearing a pair of pink panties with fairies printed on the fabric while Bella knelt beside her. They were talking about what to wear to the park and as they did, I went down the hall to Anthony's room. My son was awake in his crib, resting on his stomach as he lifted his head reaching for a stuffed bear in front of him. It was just out of reach and before he could cry I rubbed his back moving the bear so he could get to it. Anthony turned his head trying to find me so I lifted him out cradling him in my arms. "I think you need to be changed," I whispered as he smiled reaching his small hand in the air. I held it with my own kissing his small fingers as he smiled at me.
"Daddy, Daddy. Momma say go park have a picah nic," Renesmee said as she arrived by my side.
"I think that sounds like a fine idea. Are you going to help her pack a good lunch?" I asked as I began to clean the mess from my son's bottom.
"Help her and we make pancakes with chocolate chips." Before I could respond, Renesmee was gone and I heard the noises from the kitchen as my wife and daughter began to get out what they needed for making breakfast. After Anthony was changed and dressed in a one piece outfit with a baseball and bat embroidered on the front, I carried him downstairs to my piano wanting my two ladies to have time to themselves.
Holding my son on my lap, I played a few chords with my free hands while he gummed the side of my thumb. He started to fuss, so I went to the kitchen finding one of his bottles already in the warmer. Renesmee was sitting on the kitchen counter stirring the batter while Bella melted butter in the pan.
"Daddy, I let Anthony have pancake?"
"He has a while before he will be ready to try those, but thank you for offering to share." Renesmee smiled letting her Momma take the bowl. Once Anthony's bottle was warmed I held him with one arm while lifting Renesmee from the counter to her special chair so she could watch my wife cook. Anthony fell asleep after his tummy was full so I put him in the swing before joining my two girls at the table.
"We need take apples," Renesmee said as she chewed up a bite of pancake.
"What else," Bella asked smiling at me.
"Bottle for Anthony and ham and cheese for me you, Momma," our daughter said as she bounced in her booster seat.
~*~
By evening, Renesmee was ready to go to another ballgame, and had on a white shirt with pinks stripes. The name Cullen was printed on the front along with the number zero two. Anthony had on a similar shirt with blue stripes and matching pants. While his sister wore her matching hat proudly, Anthony had a fit until we took his off. He was riding in the harness against my chest while Bella and Renesmee walked a little ahead of us. I was glad both of my girls had taken a long nap and my wife seemed happier than she had been in several days. When we got to the clearing, Rosalie and Alice had a huge thick blanket spread out along with a chair for Bella and a smaller one for Renesmee. There were toys on the blanket for both of the kids, and I smiled as Esme came over, letting her lift the baby from the harness before taking it off.
"Are you ready for this?" Emmett asked as I made my way down to the field.
"What, beating you and Rosalie? Any day brother." Alice, Carlisle and I were playing against Rosalie Emmett and Jasper while Esme played the part of referee. I was looking forward to the day when Bella would be able to join us and was prepared for Emmett to wine about it not being a fair game with a newborn on my team.
"Go Daddy," Renesmee yelled as I grabbed the bat ready to play.
Emmett tried pitching a curve ball to throw me but my bat hit it making a loud crack as it went flying over everyone's head and into the trees. Jasper was already gone from my sight and I made it to third base before he was back.
The game ended before we were ready, because Anthony seemed to be done with it all. Renesmee was sitting on the blanket pouting not wanting to leave, and a little put off that her brother was being such a baby. Once he was in my arms he quieted down but was restless as I settled him against my shoulder.
"Want to stay," Renesmee whined as Bella got her ear phones off and put them into the diaper bag.
"I know, angel, but we have all had a big day and it's time to head home," My wife answered.
"No," she grumped.
"Do as your mother says," I warned as Anthony burped.
"Want Aunt Rose," Renesmee grumbled crossing her arms over her chest and remaining where she was.
Once Anthony was in the carrier Bella had put on, I knelt down in front of my little girl, "We have all had a really great day and I want to keep it that way. I'm going to count to three and when I am done I need you to let Mommy help you with your coat."
"Aunt Rose," Renesmee said not looking at me.
"When I get to three and you are still sitting there I will spank you."
My daughter was on her feet before I even said one, sniffling as Bella pulled her yellow floral jacket on, "Momma hold me, not Anthony."
Since she was listening and neither of us wanted a tantrum, I helped Bella get the harness off and got it adjusted to fit me before pulling it on. Once Anthony was secure, Bella got the pack carrier on and I put Renesmee there kissing her cheek before she reached out and hugged me. "Love, Daddy."
"I love you too, baby."
We said our goodbyes to everyone and headed through the woods to where the Mercedes was parked. Not even half way there Renesmee needed to potty and once she was out of the carrier Bella got in the larger duffel and pulled out the small portable potty leading her behind some brush to use it. When we got to the car, both babies were asleep and didn't move as we got them in their seats. It was a quiet ride home and in our room Bella put her arms around me.
"My last night as a human," she whispered.
"What are you feeling?"
"Butterflies in my stomach like when I had a final exam to take. Don't forget to remind me to call Charlie tomorrow," Bella lifted her head and I cupped my hands at her cheeks kissing her soft lips.
"I won't let you forget anything."
The next day was rainy and we spent the whole day with our children. Renesmee was excited to be spending three days with everyone at the other house and didn't seem to need to know why she was going. We watched a movie called Charlotte's Web with her and when she found out it was a book, she wanted to get it to read before bed.
When five rolled around everyone arrived at our house, and again our daughter was too caught up in the excitement to notice her mother's growing apprehension. Bella stayed close to me and once the kids were in Carlisle's car and we waved goodbye to them and everyone else, I led Bella into the house to the den.
"If I cry for you to stop biting me will you promise to keep going?" Bella asked as I sat down next to her on the sofa pulling her into my arms.
"I'm not going to lie to you, love. Once I make that first bite the venom will be more painful to you than any of the other bites you receive."
Bella nodded and took in a shuttering breath of air. "Charlie wants you to call him daily until I can on my own. He say's if you can't to please get one of the others to do it for you."
"I won't forgot about him."
My wife faced me watching me for a few minutes, "Now you have to tell me what you're feeling."
"Pain in my heart for what I'm about to do to you, and relief because this will be the final step and the last time I'll ever worry about hurting you physically."
Bella nodded getting on her knees so she could kiss me, "I love you with all of my heart and I won't ever forget what I feel for you right at this very moment. I think I'm ready."
Once I was standing, I reached out lifting my wife into my arms as I cradled her against me. My eyes never left hers as I carried her upstairs to our room and we were still looking at one another as I put her back on her feet. Slowly, I undressed her until there was nothing but the beauty of her skin still warm and alive. "Bella, I need to prepare myself now for what I'm about to do. This means, I'm going to allow myself to want you in ways I have always suppressed before."
My wife shook and I pulled her against me, "I will be in full control. What I meant is that I need to think that way so I can get enough venom flowing to turn you."
"Where will you start?"
"At your jugular," when I said that Bella shuttered against me. It was difficult to focus on the task at hand knowing she was afraid.
"Will you hold me for a while longer?"
After kissing the top of her head, I moved her with me pulling the covers of our bed back before lifting her and settling my wife against the firm softness of the mattress. Once she was there, I kicked my shoes off, removing my jeans before sliding next to her. I pulled the covers over us as she rested her head against my chest.
"When you do this will you talk about our life even if I don't respond?"
"Is there anything you want to hear?"
"Tell me how you felt the first time you realized I knew who you really were."
"Afraid because you were so calm about it all. At the time, I thought I was just dreaming it all. My mind screamed for me to resist what I was feeling because you had a life to live and a future that didn't include becoming like me. It all changed after we came back from Volterra. You risked your life to save mine and after that, somehow I knew we were going to make things right." As I continued to tell her about my feelings, I rubbed my hand up and down her back opening up my senses fully allowing myself to desire her fully. Venom filled my mouth and the burning in my throat became almost unbearable. I pulled back knowing that the woman in my arms was more precious to me than my own life.
I moved away from her easing Bella on her back. "You are the love of my life," I told her stroking the back of my fingers up her left cheek watching as she blushed. Bella shut her eyes as I leaned in and kissed her lips and she opened her mouth as I dipped my tongue inside tracing it along the roof of her mouth. I eased away from her lips and kissed her chin down her neck to her jugular. Gently, I kissed her there sucking her skin into my mouth as I slid my arms under her pulling her gently against me before moving away. "I love you."
Bella opened her eyes, "Don't let me forget."
"Never," My wife reached out and cupped her hand against my cheek.
"I'm afraid."
"What can I do to help?"
"Kiss me again."
I complied willingly letting her pull away from me first watching as she lifted her head. I breathed in tasting the air around me letting her scent fill me before lowering my head back to her neck. I opened my mouth grazing my teeth against her skin holding her secure in my arms in comfort as I sank my teeth into her skin. My wife wrapped her arms around me not making a sound as I drew her blood into my mouth drinking in only enough to really get my venom flowing. Bella tensed holding me tighter as she whimpered and as I moved my lips away I licked over the bite ceiling the wound before easing her arms away from me.
Bella didn't cry out or thrash as I had when Carlisle had done this to me and once I'd bitten her in all the places Carlisle had told me I laid back against the bed. Her breathing was already erratic and she cried out before pulling her hand to her mouth. I eased it away,. "Don't hide, love."
"It hurts," she cried.
When she was in my arms that seemed to calm her and I began telling her more about those days after we returned from Volterra.
~*~
By noon the next day, Bella was in so much pain that I began having second thoughts. Logically I knew this was something we both decided, but it was hard because she simply cried, not saying anything to me about how much it hurt. The worst part was that she couldn't bare for me to touch her and Carlisle had been by saying that it was all very normal. He was with her now as I sat playing a game of Memory with my daughter.
"Daddy, you got pay attention now," my baby girl scolded.
"I'm sorry, angel," I turned over one card and turned over another that didn't match as she giggled finding the match and taking both cards to add to her pile.
"Momma need play with us."
"Momma is resting at our house."
After Renesmee found another match, the game came to an end and she sat down on my lap. "Momma not feel good?"
"No, baby, she doesn't."
"Make feel better. I give kisses."
"Will you give me one so I can give it to her?"
My daughter turned in my arms, "Go give it to her?"
"Not right now. Momma needs it to be very quiet and you have some cookies to bake."
To my relief, that distracted her and while Esme headed to the kitchen with her I went upstairs finding Alice in the nursery with Anthony cradled in her arms reading from one of her design magazines. "Have you seen anything new?"
My sister set the magazine aside letting me take my son. "No. She's going to lose consciousness this evening and won't awaken for another two days. Bella is going to do fine, Edward, you'll see." My mind saw my sister's visions of my wife adjusting very well to her new life and I could only hope that nothing happened to change that.
When Alice left, I took her place in the rocking chair laying Anthony down on my lap. My son smiled at me before yawning and rubbing his eyes. I lifted him against my shoulder and began to rock him listening for Bella, hearing her crying again. After Anthony was asleep, I went downstairs and gave my daughter a kiss before heading back to my wife. When I arrived she was awake and wanted me to hold her.
"I just want it to be over," Bella gasped as more pain washed through her.
"Alice says you are going to lose consciousness tonight and you will wake up changed."
"But she..." Bella couldn't finish as she began to cry again tensing in my arms.
I held her closer to me, "Do you want me to tell you what I was thinking when I saw you come down the stairs on our wedding day?"
She nodded sobbing more and I had a hard time thinking about the happier times with her in so much pain. "When I saw you walking toward me for a moment it seemed it was an angel come to save me. You have given me so much more than I could ever give back, Bella. You've given me a reason to be happy and allowed me to finally have someone I can share everything with. I'm just sorry you hurt so much."
"I...love," she whispered as her heart beat began to pick up pace.
Bella lost consciousness exactly when Alice said she would. Her heart was beating faster with every hour that passed and Alice phoned saying that it would stop beating tomorrow at one in the afternoon and that Bella would awaken the following day.
Carlisle examined her not sure why my wife wasn't responding now. "This may be a way for her to deal with all she's going through and not have to feel the pain." Carlisle said as I pulled the covers back over her.
"Why will it take her so long to come back?"
"It may be her body making the adjustments needed mentally and physically."
When Carlisle was gone, I picked up the phone and dialed Charlie.
"How is Bella?"
"She's unconscious. Carlisle believes it may be some sort of defense mechanism against the pain and Alice said she will be awake in two days time."
The chief was quiet for a few minutes, "Does Alice see when I can visit?"
"No, but I promise to phone when she does."
We talked for a while longer and once the conversation was over I got in bed with my wife and began to tell her my feelings when we found out she was going to have Renesmee.
~Bella~
All of the darkness and heaviness that had surrounded me began to lift away. There were sounds of birds chirping and cars driving down streets. Wind blew causing trees to move and rustle as they did. My throat was itching like I hadn't drank anything in a long time and there were so many smells now. Memories began to drift into my mind, and I recalled a hotel room and feeling afraid and confused. Edward had come to get me and we made love several times before we needed to go home and check on our babies. There had been other things, like a ball game with our family and a rainy day spent at home with our children.
My throat began to burn and I felt something press against my lips along with a sweet tangy smell. Edward's voice was a soft whisper encouraging me to drink and when I did the burn in my throat began to subside.
"Bella, can you open your eyes?"
I did and everything was different. I heard the trees moving as the wind blew them and smelled the sweet baby smell of our children mixed with laundry detergent. The most prominent smell was my husband's scent and instantly my eyes found him resting next to me. He was very still and I felt safe. "I'm turned?"
"Yes," he whispered.
I sat up so fast that I felt a little dizzy and everything my eyes focused on was so much more detailed. I could see the individual strokes of paint on the walls and tiny cracks in the ceiling. I turned again to Edward who hadn't moved. "Why are you being still?" I grasped my throat because my voice was so different. It was more of a tinkle than a real voice and it was strange to my ears.
"I don't want to startle you. You might view me as a predator would."
"You are my husband and the man I love."
Edward sat up slowly and once he was I reached out and wrapped my arms around him feeling him tense. For only a second I was confused until I realized for the first time my touch was causing him pain and I let my arms loosen around him, "I'm sorry."
"We will both have to get used to that," he said chuckling.
"What kind of blood did you give me just a while ago?"
"From a large cat. Their blood is easier to adjust too," Edward answered as he eased away from me. "Do you want to hunt?"
"If we do, can we see the babies?"
"Why don't we tend to that first and see how you do."
I nodded and Edward got his phone. He talked with Emmett and Jasper and after he put it down we got up. Getting dressed was my first real frustration because I ripped my shirt when I tried forcing it over my head. In the end Edward helped me promising not to tell anyone. "What will it be like for me to hunt. We never really talked about that," I said still hating the way my voice sounded.
"You will find that it will be something you do like being able to breathe air. It will likely take you a while to do it without making a mess which is why I'm bringing this duffel with an extra set of clothes."
We traveled a long way running so fast, but there wasn't any fear for me. I understood now how Edward never hit any trees when I had been human. My vision was so focused that I could see around the smallest spaces and maneuver accordingly. Hunting with him would be something new, and I was excited because I would finally be able to see him in action, something else I remembered wanting to experience when I had been human. After this, hopefully, we could see our babies. Edward reached out and took my hand and as I sniffed the air instinct kicked in.
~*~
AN: {Heavy sigh of relief} I finally got this part out of the way. I debated on how he was going to change her and how it was going to be for them and this seemes to be the best way. I hope you all like what I did and I'm not one to have Bella struggle to much at least with something that would have been hard for Edward. Perhaps that is why she lost consciousness. So what did you think? More coming soon.
Huge thanks to all of you for reading and reviewing. Also thanks for all of you who have added me to your lists. You guys are awesome fans.
