Chapter 24

As we waded into the ocean, the now warm to me ocean, Jasper told me how to hunt. We would be unable to talk underwater but he would guide me. "Ready?" He asked giving me a smile of reassurance. I nodded nervously.

I let the air out of my lungs. Don't try to breathe underwater was one of Jasper's tips. While as a vampire I couldn't drown but it was an unpleasant feeling according to Jasper.

We dove into the ocean, I followed Jasper's lead. The water didn't sting my eyes like it would have had I still been human. Seeing the ocean like this was astounding. I could see everything. Colorful schools of fish swam all around us. None getting too close. My limbs cut gracefully through the ocean dragging me deeper into it's depths.

I was frightened when I saw a very real and very big shark swimming a little ways ahead of us. I didn't want to get to close in fear of what the creature would do. Intellectually, I knew that it's teeth wouldn't be able to pierce my invulnerable skin but this was an irrational fear. The closer we swam to the shark the more nervous I became. Jasper swam in front of me blocking my view of the large fish.

His closed lips smiled and he sent a wave of confidence to me. I steeled my nerves for what I was about to do. I ran Jasper's instructions through my mind. Don't open my mouth until I touch it's skin. I'll instinctually be able to tell where to bite. I repeated into my mind. The blond moved out of my way.

My body took off like a jet. The world should have blurred at my speed yet everything was crystal clear. The shark noticed me coming after it. It was exciting. This huge shark was actually afraid of me. Little Bella Swan. This creature recognized that I was the stronger predator. That it was my prey.

My sharp eyes zeroed in on a throbbing vein. I sped up, my entire being focused on relieving my burning throat. My pale arms wrapped around the thick body of the creature as much as they could. The shark's skin was warm against my lips. I struck aster than a snake, latching my razor sharp teeth into the heavily pulsing vein.

Warm blood flooded into my mouth. My throat swallowed convulsively drawing the liquid down. My feeding didn't end until my prey stopped moving along with it's heart. I detached myself from the shark, eyes widening at the realization of the thing's size. It looked like it could have swallowed me whole. Holy Sparkling Vampires, I just ate a great white shark. A real life Jaws.

Jasper swam over to me radiating pride. He was proud of me. I barely stopped myself from smiling. We kicked up to the surface way faster than we swam down. Our lungs drew in air. Air that we needed to speak. "That was amazing." I chimed. The whole experience was thrilling. I didn't even feel bad for killing the shark, better than killing a human. The flavor of the blood was unlike any thing I had ever tasted. Better than the remembered taste of land animals.

"I'm so glad your taking to this so quickly, you're a natural." He beamed. No blush rose to my cheeks but a warmth suffused my being. I gave him a too brief kiss.

We rapidly closed the distance to our beach. As soon as our feet was on dry land we started furiously kissing. Oh god, I wanted him so badly. I whimpered as I pulled away. It was painful to do so. Our underwear was dry as we separated. How long were we kissing? It didn't feel like it lasted that long. We got dressed in silence.

He showed me what I looked like now. I was beautiful. I didn't recognize myself. I searched my face for something familiar as I ignored the bright red eyes. My lips were slightly unbalanced. It was the only thing that I could find that wasn't flawless.

"Jasper, I'm ready." I said looking into his eyes. "Okay"

The instant we stepped into the cabin I was hit with their scents. Their smell was balanced out equally. Half of their scent smelled like the most beautiful perfume. The other half smelt bland, unappealing to my senses. No thirst was raised within me. I had no desire for my children's blood. I was relieved.

"Amazing." Jasper whispered behind me. "Your not even reacting to the human scent."

"What side is the human half?" He stared at me in disbelief. "You can't smell which part is human?" He asked flabbergasted. "No."

"What do you smell?" He asked eagerly. "An amazing perfume and something blandly unappealing." I said bluntly. His eyes widened and a grin stretched across his face. "Oh, Carlisle is going to go nuts when he knows this." Was spoken loudly.

"What?" I was confused. Know what? "Their human half smells bland and unappealing to you this might mean that you have no attraction to human blood." That was spectacular and would mean that I wouldn't go blood crazed vampire on anyone.

"Mommy!" Two small voices yelled excitedly. I spun to face them. My babies were standing in a wooden crib. They looked more like a one year old than a newborn infant. Recognition was evident in their bright blue gazes. Identical, wide toothed grins pointed my way. I walked in a daze towards them. Both were so beautiful.

Esalie with Jasper's wavy blond hair and Chase with my dark mahogany mane. Esalie had a face very similar to my own, I noticed. My vampire face at least. Chase on the other hand was a dark haired Jasper. He was going to be just as handsome as his father. I dreaded to think of the day that they would begin dating.

I picked them up at the same time, being extremely cautious of my new strength. They weighed nothing at all to me. I felt complete as they hugged me tight enough that it was easily felt. Their strength for babies was impressive.

"We missed you." Chase whispered up at me. His baby blues tugged at my heart. "I missed you both too." I spoke filled to the brim with love. I just stood there and held them tightly. Jasper hugged me from behind resting his hands on their small backs. Mine. This was my family. A lover, a son, and a daughter. This was my forever.
