Finally, there was a vampire who had made this life worth having. I really liked that Augustus guy; he was very helpful in making our lives much better and simpler to live.

"Okay, how are we going to do this?" Emmett asked, looking at Carlisle.

"Well, I think it would probably be better for mates to pair up and spray each other down. Each couple can go down to the basement and have complete privacy until they are done. I know there are a couple of us changing our hair color; I suggest doing that first," Carlisle explained.

"Who gets to go first?" Emmett asked.

"I think it's only fair for Carlisle and Esme to go first," Alice said.

The rest of us agreed; so while they were working on themselves, the rest of us worked on getting our appointments set up for our jobs. Most of us would be starting this coming Monday.

This spray on tan was an ingenious idea; the Volturi were foolish in not allowing Augustus to release it to our world before. I thought I knew why they didn't want him to do so; I thought it was because they enjoyed having a valid reason to kill, and they didn't want to make it easier for those that would defy them. I wondered if they really thought that the majority of our kind to be so stupid as to believe we weren't aware of what they were doing. Well, there was no need to worry over it, now; thank God.

Esme and I went downstairs and got busy making the first of changes in our appearance. I had decided to put a dark brown wash in my hair and put blue contacts in my eyes. I very much liked the reaction I got from my wife, as she pictured me like that. The wash would have to be renewed every few weeks due to the fact it would wash out. I wasn't going to put a permanent color on my hair, knowing our hair didn't grow out.

Esme chose to keep her hair color, but chose green contacts; I could hardly wait to see her with green eyes. Edward had also chosen to keep his own hair color and chose green contacts.

Bella, she had chosen to keep her hair the same color, but she would wear green contacts; I knew that made Edward happy. Rosalie had picked out a milk chocolate brown shade for her hair and brown contacts, while Emmett chose to keep his dark hair; he chose blue contacts.

The way it was looking; all the kids were trying to make themselves look as if they really did belong to Esme and me, and that made me smile. Alice chose to keep her own hair color and add extensions to it and chose brown contacts. Jasper had opted to darken his hair color and wear green contacts.

"Okay, I have never had to have a cover story before; how does this work?" I asked, genuinely curious because I knew stories had to be switched up a bit.

"Well, this time around Jasper and I will be twin brothers since we will have the same eye color and similar hair color; we will go by the surname Masen. Carlisle and Esme Platt will be our adoptive parents, and Emmett McCarty will be our adopted older brother; you lovely ladies will be Bella Masen, Alice Masen, and Rosalie McCarty," Edward replied.

"As you remember, we set up our businesses and got the paperwork started a month or so before we left Forks. Everything is ready for our offices, and Jenks even has temp secretaries ready for us to start work in a week from the following Monday. That will give us a week to get settled into the area. Carlisle and Edward, of course, won't start their jobs until the fall when school starts," Jasper said.

"Yes, Edward is going to be a high school English teacher; you are going to drive those high school girl wild, baby," I laughed, as Edward grimaced at that thought.

"Carlisle is going to be the principal of one of the elementary schools, correct?" I asked.

Since I slowly changed, most of my human memories were still intact; only, some things were a little fuzzy.

"That's right, Bella; do you remember what everyone else is going to be doing?" Jasper asked.

Jasper had overseen hundreds of transformations during his time in the South, so he was fascinated by how mine had gone. He was proud of me, and yet a bit envious because I was a newborn with basically no blood lust.

"Let's see, Emmett is going to be a lawyer and Rose a pediatrician; Esme is going to be an interior designer and Alice a fashion designer. You, Jasper, are going to be a child psychologist; did I get everything?" I asked, as I looked around.

I noticed they were all looking at me expectantly, so I knew I forgot somebody.

"Oh! I almost forgot me; I am going to be a stay-at-home mom," I said with a laugh.

Then, Esme and Carlisle walked in from the basement; we were all shocked and speechless.

"Well, how does it look?" Esme asked, spinning around.

"It looks so real, you look human. Hurry up and put in your contacts," Rose said quickly.

They quickly obliged, and the transformation was unbelievable; all of us girls squealed in delight. They looked completely different; especially Carlisle with his dark hair and Esme looked gorgeous with green eyes. Their skin looked completely human.

"Come on Edward, it is our turn to go spray tan each other," I said.

I was absolutely giddy with the thoughts of blending in with humans so well. Edward and I took our turn downstairs, and then we put in our contacts. I took one look at Edward with green eyes and attacked him. I jumped into his arms and kissed him passionately.

"I take it green eyes turn you on," Edward said as he leaned in and kissed me again.

"Everything about my sexy husband turns me on," I replied.

"Well, I must return the compliment and say my wife is absolutely gorgeous and looks incredibly sexy with green eyes herself. As a matter of fact, I am not opposed to taking you home and showing you just how much you affect me, love," he said, grinning.

"I'll race you," I told him.

We were racing upstairs when the pixie appeared in front of us.

"Oh no, you don't, you two; I've seen what you're up to, and it's not happening right now," Alice said.

"Just who are you to tell me that I can't take my wife to our home?" Edward asked.

"This is family time, not playtime; you can do that later," she replied.

Reluctantly, we rejoined the family and waited until everyone was finished with their new looks. We made a very nice human looking family; we still had supernatural good looks, but we could blend in better than before.

Everything had been set up; and everyone but Carlisle, Edward, and I were going to start work in a week from next Monday. Rose would officially take over for the retiring pediatrician, and Emmett would open his law office. He had decided he would be an advocate for children. He thought that would suit him well, and it made him happy.

Jasper was also opening his own office; he and Emmett would be sharing a building. Jasper would be on the top floors, while Emmett would take the bottom floors. Alice already had an appointment with a client to design a wedding gown. Mom also had an office set up and a full crew ready to go. Her business would include designing houses, decorating them, and landscaping properties. She was very good and had clients lined up for herself. Edward was looking forward to being able to work, but he was not looking forward to hearing the thoughts of all those teenage girls. I definitely felt sorry for him. I thought Carlisle was going to have it fairly easy this time.

A week later….

"Oh baby, that feels so good mmmmhhm!" Edward growled out, as I ground myself on his lap. We were in our bedroom; Ren was sleeping, and I was showing my husband just how much I loved his new look.

"How much longer will the baby sleep?" Edward asked, as he kissed down my neck.

"It will be a while," I assured him, as I shoved him back on the bed and ripped his clothes off in one motion.

Edward saw what I had in mind and got a cocky grin on his face; he put his hands behind his head, and got ready to enjoy himself. I had just got ready to take my husband when I heard "mommy" in my daughter's thoughts.

"Noooo!" Edward cried out, as I moved off of him.

"She will stay in there and watch the mobile for a little while. We have time to finish this baby," Edward said almost desperately.

I had to struggle to hold in my giggle.

"Edward Cullen, are you suggesting we leave our daughter lying in her room calling for us while we have sex? Shame on you, Daddy!" I said in mock anger, as I redressed.

I couldn't help the smile on my face, so he knew I wasn't upset at him.

"Bella, love, she is an infant; she will probably fall back to sleep anyway," he said crawling toward me in all his naked glory.

I giggled and dodged away, as he reached for me.

"Mommy! Daddy!" our impatient daughter yelled for us.

"Yeah, she is going back to sleep," I said.

As I left the room, I heard Edward as he said: "I will get you for this, my little tease."

EPOV

Logically, I knew we couldn't leave Ren in bed while my wife took care of my problem, but tell that to my erection. I was going to get that vixen for this. She got me all worked up, and there was no way I was going to take matters into my own hands with my wife and baby just down the hall. Bella giggled again at my thoughts.

I suddenly thought of a way to tease Bella back. We needed a little lawn work done; who better to do that than me? Bella would be sitting in the living room and have the perfect view of the front yard, where I would be working. I put on a pair of old shorts, tennis shoes, and no shirt, to show off my newly acquired tan that Bella seemed so fond of.

I walked downstairs and went to the living room to let Bella see me. Bella was reading in a chair, the perfect place to view me from; and Ren was sitting happily in her swing playing. Bella looked up when I entered the room, and her eyes narrowed suspiciously at me.

"And just what are you going to do?" she asked me.

"Yard work," I said happily and kissed her; I kissed Ren too and then headed out the front door.

I could feel her eyes on me the whole time I worked. I made sure not to look at her, but I could watch her through Ren's eyes. She was pretending to read, but I didn't think she had turned a page in the past thirty minutes. My evil plan was working!

"Would you look at him! Yummy doesn't even begin to cover it!" thought someone coming down the sidewalk, and I cringed.

I wasn't used to having neighbors. I looked up and saw an older lady running on the sidewalk. She was trying not to stare, but did a horrible job of it. Maybe she would just run on and leave me alone to seduce my wife in peace, I thought as I watched her; she was slowing down. I heard Bella giggling inside now.

"I wonder if this is the new neighbor or if he is the landscaper? There was one way to find out," she thought and walked over to me in what I assumed was supposed to be a seductive way. She looked to be about 40 and a total cougar. She was attractive; I supposed, but didn't hold a candle to my wife. I could tell she saw me as her new prey.

"Hey there; my name is Pamela Wilkes from down the street, and you are?" she asked, as she held out her hand.

Luckily, I had been working and my hands were filthy.

"My name is Edward; my family and I just moved in. I would shake your hand, but my hands are filthy," I said, showing her my hands.

Her eyes glazed over for a second.

"Oh wow! Would you look at those fingers. I can just imagine what they can do! He said his family, so he is married. Oh well that has never stopped me before," she thought; and I shuddered internally at her thoughts, but instead she just giggled.

"Oh, but Edward, I don't mind getting a little dirty," she said with a wink.

That made me really shudder, and then I heard Bella giggling inside the house.

"Bella, baby, I know you can hear me; please come out here," I begged.

Yes, I begged. This woman was getting more and more graphic with her thoughts by the second, and soon she was going to invite me to her place for a drink. I heard Bella in the house moving around and from the sounds of it putting the baby to bed.

"You know, Edward, it is awfully hot out here; why don't you come over to my house? I will get you something cool to drink, and we can get to know each other better," Pamela said, coming to my side and attempting to put her hand on my chest.

Just then Bella came walking out the front door, and she had changed into a pair of the tiniest shorts I had ever seen and a white bikini top. She came over to me and wrapped her arm around me then kissed me.

"Hey babe, I just put the baby down and decided to see if I could persuade you to come take a swim with me. She will be asleep for a couple of hours, and we will have that time all to ourselves," she said in my ear, but loud enough for Pamela to hear.

She did hear because she tensed up like she was ready to strike. I thought to myself, lady you really don't want to do that; you'd lose terribly.

"Oh hello," Bella said, pretending to just notice the very irate and jealous woman standing next to us.

"My name is Bella Masen, Edward's wife; and you are?" Bella introduced herself as she offered her hand to Pamela.

"My name is Pamela Wilkes, your neighbor," she replied not offering to take Bella's hand, instead looking her up and down.

You could see her turn green with envy at Bella's obvious youth and beauty. Bella's gorgeous body was shown to perfection in her shorts and bikini top; she couldn't have chosen anything better to put this cougar in her place.

"It is nice to meet you, Pam. I guess we will see you around; I hate to rush off, but you know how it is." Bella said with a wink, as she sashayed back to the house.

When she reached the door she turned around and said in a seductive voice, "Are you coming, baby?" and walked into the house.

I turned to Pam and said, "It was nice meeting you."

I then took off to the house at a fast human pace, not even looking behind me. I did hear her turn and walk away with a huff; she had never been turned down before. Well, she had better get used to rejection, if she came on to me anymore; I had all I wanted and needed waiting for me inside the house.

I could hardly believe it had been only a week since Bella and the Cullens had been gone; it seemed so much longer to me without my little girl here. I was glad I didn't have to go home to an empty house though; Cora had been keeping me company until late every night. I didn't even want to think about what I would do without her; I'd really be lost.

"You're missing Bella aren't you, sweetheart?" Cora asked, as we sat having dinner.

"Yeah, I am, honey. I didn't know just how much I would miss her until now. She's my little girl; and now, she's all grown up and married with a little girl of her own. I just wish they could have stuck around a bit longer," I told her.

"I know, baby; so do I. I'm sorry it has to be this way; I'm sure she misses you too, and she will always be your little girl," she told me, while patting my hand.

I smiled; but I knew it didn't reach my eyes, as I put my other hand over hers and leaned over to kiss her. After dinner, we decided to go for a walk; I was too restless to sit around the house, even though there was a game on TV.

CJPOV

I felt so bad for my Charlie; he missed Bella and his granddaughter so much. I had made sure I was off every night, so I could be at his house when he got home from work. I couldn't stand the thought of him coming into an empty house. I cooked for him a few nights a week and made sure to cook enough that he would have plenty for leftovers. He said I didn't need to cook for him, but I wanted him to eat healthier food than diner food every night. I knew Bella would appreciate that too, and I really enjoyed it.

After dinner was over, Charlie helped me clean up the dishes; and then we took a walk. It was a nice night for once and we enjoyed it together. Later, after we got back, we sat down on the couch and soon found ourselves making out like a couple of teenagers.

Charlie Swan was without a doubt the best and most attentive, loving man I had ever known. He made me feel emotions that had been dormant for many years; he brought my youthful passions back to life with his kisses and his touch.

"Let's go upstairs; I want you to stay with me tonight," he said, as he kissed down my neck.

"Of course, I will stay with you," I told him.

He continued kissing me for a minute, then pulled back and just held me.

"Is something wrong, Charlie?" I asked, as he stared at me.

"No, honey, there's nothing wrong, but I have something I need to say before we go any further," he said with a smile.

"Well, you know you can tell me anything," I told him.

"Cora, I haven't felt the way I feel for you in a long time; you have filled a void in my heart and in my life that I didn't realize I had. I know we haven't been together all that long, but I'm sure of my feelings for you. I need you to know that you mean the world to me, and that I love you," he told me.

Tears of joy sprang to my eyes; I threw myself at him and hugged him as tight as I could. I took his face between my hands and kissed him.

"Charlie Swan, those are the sweetest words I have ever heard in a very long time, and I want you to know the feelings are mutual. I love you too," I told him.

We hugged and kissed more, and then he picked me up and took me upstairs where we made passionate love all night long.
