Tracybuie and 3twilight thank you for reviewing. As always you have really made my day. I have thought about how I could say thank you to you for reviewing my story and being there for me giving me so many good ideas to continue with this story. So here is what I decided to do . I will send you a short chapter on what happened after Edward left in the afternoon leaving Bella with Charlie (Charlie's and Bella's interaction) and what happened when he came back to Bella's to wish her good night from Bella's point of view. I'll send it only as a private message individually to those who review this chapter. I have seen a lot of authors do this and I think it is a nice way of saying thank you. I will not be publishing it online in this story. Tracybuie and 3twilight I have already sent it to you via PM.

I was so mad at Rosalie. My vision of Rosalie talking to Bella had only included what happened between Royce and her and how she was changed by Carlisle. I thought she was going to talk about Emmett and her relationship and bond with Bella. Instead she had described her rape in gruesome detail along with how she took revenge on Royce. I hated that she reminded Bella of what happened to her in Port Angeles. Bella was very compassionate through it all. I could tell that she was also very upset.

"Rosalie why don't you tell Bella about all the beautiful grand balls you attended?" I hoped to change the subject. Bella turned to me with a thankful smile.

"Oh yes. I would love to hear about them. I've only read the stuff in Jane Austen's books and other classics. I've always wanted to know what it was really like." Bella was very enthusiastic. To my great relief Rosalie started talking about her grand youth. But unfortunately half way through she diverted from the topic and started talking about Vera her best friend and her little Henry. She went on and on about how wonderful the child was and how upset she was that she couldn't ever become a mother. Why did she have to bring up children? It was the one thing that Edward couldn't give Bella and she had to remind Bella of that on the same day she got engaged to him. I felt so sorry for both Edward and Bella.

"Come on Rosalie, having children is not a must. Look at Carlisle and Esme. They adopted us. May be one day Edward and Bella can adopt." I faked a cheerful smile.

"What would you know about children when you never wanted any of your own? You don't remember anything from your human life. No wonder you don't have any motherly instincts." I nearly broke down then and there.

"Of course I have motherly instincts! I too would have loved to have a child of my own. But I am not going to be sad about things I don't have and wallow in self pity all my life." I kept telling myself I'm holding onto my anger for the sake of Bella and Edward. I didn't want Bella to know how upset I really was by Rosalie's uncaring words. She had enough to worry about as it is.

"Yes. That's true Alice. We should be happy with what we have. I never really wanted children in the first place. When I have Edward I don't want anything else." Bella smiled at me. Hopefully she wasn't going to be too upset by the fact that she was giving it up.

"How can you say that? Are you even human?" Rosalie retorted back at her. I could tell Bella was getting angry now. That was very rude of Rosalie. I had had enough of Rosalie's uncaring words. I was just about to set her straight when Bella spoke up.

"Well I'm human enough to want to sleep right now. It's getting late. I have get up early tomorrow. Oh! That reminds me can you tell Edward that he has to pick me up and take me to La Push. Charlie is going there very early so I won't be going with him."

Thank god Bella decided not to argue with Rosalie. As soon as Bella fell asleep Rosalie left. I was glad. I didn't have to talk to her anymore. I finally let myself relax and happily started day dreaming about the wedding and writing in my planner about all the things that needed to get done.

It was nearly morning when I saw the vision of Rosalie confronting Edward. It was too late to stop it. I was thinking of going home to talk some sense into Rosalie when I got a better idea. Yes. The best solution was to take Bella with me. The new vision I had of how the situation was going to get resolved was more promising.

"Bella, wake up." A very drowsy looking Bella turned away from me muttering something incomprehensible. I counted the hours she had slept 7 hours. That should be enough for a human.

"Bella please. Edward needs you." Those were the magical words. Bella sat up like a rocket. I laughed.

I was feeling much better after the hunt. I really needed it. I had been starving. Alice had left me a message asking me to pick Bella up on my way to La Push. I was surprised that Charlie had left without her.

I was just about to go to pick her up when Rosalie came up to me. I cringed reading her thoughts. Oh god. It really had been a bad idea to let her speak to Bella. She had told her in gruesome detail about her human life and her change. I had not wanted to elaborate on things that much since it would remind Bella of Portangeles.

"Why did you go into so much detail Rosalie?" She looked offended.

"How else was I going to convince her that staying human was better than becoming a vampire." She gave me a smug smile. Rosalie wanted Bella to remain human? This was new. I had tried that but Bella would not have any of it. And right now I actually wanted her to change. May be I was being selfish, but I just couldn't loose Bella.

"We had already talked about it and Bella wants to change." Her next thoughts brought me to my knees the pain was unbearable.

"You say you love her. But how could you take away the only thing that matters as a women? The ability to have her own child? You are being very selfish Edward." Oh god what was I doing to Bella? Rosalie was right I was taking so much away from her along with her humanity. I felt Esme's loving hands cradling me to her. She was sobbing. Carlisle had already left for the hospital. Emmett and Jasper were still fishing.

"See what it has done to Esme? How much pain she goes through everyday."

"But but.. I have all of you Edward. I'm happy with that. It was sad to loose my child but I have accepted things. So don't worry Bella knows what she's doing." Esme tried to console me. I was inconsolable. How was I going to do this to Bella? What was I thinking?

"This is what you are going to do to Bella." Rosalie had barely finished her next sentence when I was surprised to hear Bella's voice.

"What is it that Edward is going to do to me Rosalie?" Bella's face looked calm. But what shocked me was that her impenetrable mask was back. I shuddered at the thought that she was once again going to hide behind it and become unresponsive. Has she finally realised what she would have to give up tobe with me?

"I was explaining to Edward how selfish he is being making you change in to a vampire." Rosalie gave Bella a smug smile.

"I'm the one being selfish asking him to change me." Bella responded in her monotonous voice. I shuddered in pain. She's hiding her emotions again.

"You ignorant human girl. You don't know what you are giving up. A fling between the sheets now and then is all that you would get out of him. Oh he is handsome and must be good in bed. But is that all you want from life? Later when you want a child of your own you will remember my words." Rosalie would have continue with her tirade but Bella interrupted her.

"Oh I understand very well what you are saying.." Bella's face still wore that mask.

"So now you know I'm right. You are better off remaining human. I'm sure my brother will stay with you as long as you need him. You can have your fun with him while you can. When you feel like having children you can marry a nice human man and live the life you've always wanted and grow old together."

A dreamy smile crossed Rosalie's face. I could tell she was being very sincere. My heart was breaking every minute. Was Bella going to give me my ring back? Will she at least consider staying with me a bit longer? I won't be able to leave even if she wanted me to. A sob involuntarily left me. The little pixie landed on me hugging me tightly to her chest. Bella ran to me.

"Edward.. Edward.. are you alright?" Bella looked dazed and confused.

"He.. he..will be …just tell him your decision. He needs to…to know what you feel." Alice was stumbling over words in her hurry to get them out.

"Edward, I want to be like you a vampire and be with you forever. I had already considered what Rosalie said to me a long time back and made my decision. I know what I want in life Edward. And it's you. And I have not taken this decision lightly. I made it after careful consideration. I have thought about children and everything else I have to give up to be with you. And you are worth it Edward. I love you so much. Nothing will ever change the way I feel about you."

Tears were flowing from Bella's eyes as she sat on my lap on the floor where I sat and I hugged her tightly to me. I could barely speak from the relief I felt. I made two attempts before finally managing to get the words I wanted to say out.

"My Bella..Be…Bella.. I love…you.. you can have whatever you want.. if..if you want a child we can do in-vitro fertilisation or something before your change and you can have a child of your own. I will love to be the baby's father even though I can never be a biological father."

"Edward…. Let me get this straight. I only want your child. No one else's. And I have made up my mind. We can adopt later on. There are so many homeless orphans. They don't necessarily have to be vampires. We can give them a life. Take care of them Edward. It would mean so much more." Bella's mask was completely off and I could see her emotions of love, protectiveness and happiness warring with each other for attention in her beautiful face. I touched it in wonder planting a chaste kiss on the top of her nose. I lovingly pushed a lock of her sweet hair behind her ear.

"Edward already supports a lot of charities Bella." It was my adoring mother who spoke up. I felt embarrassed. I had not intended to brag about my philanthropic work to Bella. I might have shared some with her later in life though… if she wanted to do any charity work like Esme.

"You and your charity work! Go ahead boast about it. I'm sure the human will be impressed." Rosalie huffed.

To my surprise Bella stood up with her hands on her hips. She really was going to make a formidable vampire.

"Of course the human is impressed and would very much like to help him to support his charities." Rosalie looked taken aback. But in her usual style she quickly recovered.

"I thought his physical attributes as a lover were the most endearing to you well I guess his money has its advantages too." Rosalie brushed it off with a fling of her hair. I read a bit of jealousy behind her words. Was she still jealous of Bella having me? I guess it is difficult to let go off long held beliefs.

"Let me get this straight Rosalie. I love Edward for who he is. And of course I love being with him physically since he is amazing in bed. But I don't give a shit about his money."

"Oh really? Who buys all those new clothes you seem to have an abundance of lately?" This I had to set straight. I sat up. But the pixie was already on her feet.

"For your information, Edward hasn't spent a penny on Bella's clothes so far. She had a lot of savings from her job at the Newton's and I looked up good bargains for her."

Rosalie was really surprised at this revelation. She had thought that I had been buying things for Bella. In fact she had been very jealous thinking that I would buy presents for Bella and not her. She had always been jealous of the way I bought presents for Alice and Esme. I had initially bought presents for Rosalie as well, but she had always been very ungracious about accepting things from me. She had then started to think that I had ulterior motives behind it like wanting her but not telling her that I want her and showing it by giving her presents. This had really scared me as well as her unwanted advances towards me and the insults she abundantly showered upon me. So I had altogether stopped buying her gifts other than for Christmas and special occasions. As for buying things for Bella I had wanted to so much but she had never let me. Alice had only managed to get her a few skirts for which she had paid and refused to let me pay her back.

"Well whatever." She turned around and walked out of the room leaving us all to try to come to terms with the havoc she had just created.

As mentioned above I will send you a separate chapter I wrote from Bella's point of view on her evening with Charlie and what happened later that night with Edward as a private message to all those who review this chapter as a special thank you. I will not be publishing it in this story.
