CHLOE

Eddie wrapped his arms around me, picked me up bridal style and took a jump from the balcony of Edward and Bella's bed room. I squealed as we fell the fifteen feet and Eddie laughed as he ran with me away from the house. When we were a safe distance away from the house Eddie stopped and let me onto my feet.

"What was that? A vampire?" I asked, he nodded.

"Newborn. He was an hour old. He's Chantelle's boyfriend... or he was," he replied moving over to a tree and sitting down with his back against it. He opened his arms in invitation so I moved over to him and sat down in his lap, he then wrapped his arms securely around me. I once again felt safe.

"What's going to happen to him?" I asked.

"I don't know," he answered me. I decided to change the subject.

"What's going to happen when Zac finds out about us?" I asked, barely above a whisper. He smiled a little, I knew he loved teasing him, I rolled my eyes.

"I don't know. We don't have to tell him, he can work it out himself," he replied to me. I shivered, it wasn't just because it was cold it was also because I didn't like the idea of Zac finding out.

"I hate jealous guys," I muttered, he laughed.

"Hey I'm not the jealous one," he said into my hair. I replied with a scoff.

"You have no idea how confused I was that night," I said quietly. He kissed my head.

"Sorry," he whispered. I shook my head.

"No, don't be. It gave me hope," I said smiling slightly. He smiled back and kissed my forehead.

"Good, that was the point."

"What's our future going to be like?" I asked nervously. We'd never spoken about this before, I didn't know why I brought it up now, it just came out without me even thinking about it.

"It will be however you want it to be," He answered. I knew he didn't want to scare me with the possibilities. I sighed and dropped the subject.

"I think we can go back now," he whispered, it was starting to get dark and I was starting to get hungry.

"Okay," I answered and stood up from his lap, I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to warm up. He took his jacket off and wrapped it around my shoulders.

"Thanks," I said quietly. I loved how he was such a gentleman.

"You're welcome," he said and held out his hand to me. I knew what it was for; I gripped his jacket tighter and took his hand. He swung me onto his back and began running back to the house.

When arrived back at the house, Edward was standing outside.

"It's okay to come in. He's gone," he said. Eddie nodded and I slipped off his back. He took my hand and we walked into the house. I scanned the hall, I was hoping Bella was here, after all if you know where Edward is, Bella isn't far but I couldn't see her.

"She's in our room," I heard him whisper in my ear.

Thank you. I answered in my head. I looked at Eddie who was looking at me confused, I reached up and put a small peck on his lips and ran up the stairs.

"Eddie, don't," I heard Edward say.

Thanks. I said again and went to the door of Edward and Bella's room. I knocked lightly and waited for an answer.

"Come in Chloe," Bella said. I opened the door and walked in. Bella was lying on her bed reading a book. So that's where Eddie got his love of reading from. She put the book on the bed side table and sat up. "What can I do for you?" she asked me. I walked over to the edge of the bed and slipped my shoes off, I took Eddies jacket off and laid it on the bed before I climbed up and sat cross legged in front of her.

"You said if I ever needed to talk about Eddie you would listen," I began.

"Yes of course," she answered.

"Well, normally I'd tell Renesmee this but I think your answer would be more helpful." I answered, she frowned in confusion.

"Go on."

"What's going to happen with me and Eddie? I mean what future do we have with me still human?" I asked. She sighed and her perfect face relaxed, as if she knew this conversation would happen.

"You know… when I was human Edward didn't want to turn me? He didn't want to risk my soul. He fought with me every day, trying to get me to change my mind. Only he never knew that eventually he would have to change me to save me," she said to me then paused before she began again. "Eddie doesn't think like Edward. Maybe you should talk to him yourself but Eddie won't object to you being changed. That's if you want it of course. It's an open possibility but it's entirely your choice." She said, I nodded; did I want to be a vampire? Not particularly. Did I want to be with Eddie forever? Yes absolutely. "But before you decide on whether you want to be immortal there are other things to consider. Your mother, you won't be able to see her again after you've been changed, I haven't seen mine since my wedding day. School, you are only sixteen; you should at least wait until you have finished high school because you will have to drop out for at least a decade. And children, we don't know if it's possible for Eddie to give you children but if he could would you want them?" she asked. I shook my head.

"I don't think so. I'm not very maternal." I answered her.

"That's what I thought before I knew it was possible."

"But I'm not as strong as you; I wouldn't be able to go through what you did. I couldn't have a hybrid, I'd die. I know it." I answered. Bella reached out and placed her hand on my leg.

"You are strong Chloe. The fact that you are sitting here right now tells me you are strong, you are dating a vampire; you have a vampire best friend. I know you could handle having a child. Plus we know how it goes now. We went through it with me, we went through it with Chantelle's mother, you wouldn't have it nearly as bad as I did." She said comfortingly.

"I still don't think I want kids," I answered her. "I just want Eddie," I said in a whisper. She smiled widely at me.

"You remind me so much of myself." She chuckled, I grinned at her. I kind of liked that. "We'll see though. You never know," she said to me.

"I couldn't put Eddie through that, I couldn't die in front of him," I said to her quietly, I knew it was a low blow but she didn't understand properly. She looked at me sympathetically.

"Alright, so I don't get grandkids from you… that's fine," she said jokingly. I was glad she was lightening the mood a bit. I grinned at her.

"There's always Renesmee," I answered her, her smile dropped a bit.

"Are you going to leave me with puppies as grandchildren?" she said. I smiled at her.

"Yup," I joked, she smiled.

"Alright then, but you have to help me train then," she grinned. I laughed and nodded.

"Will do!" I replied and climbed off the bed. "Thank you Bella," I said sincerely, all humour gone from my voice.

"Anytime," she replied just as seriously. I walked out the room and paused, I took a deep breath. I didn't know where I wanted to go. To Renesmee? Or Eddie? I decided I'd go into the living room and hang out with whoever I saw first.

Both Eddie and Renesmee were there, along with Jacob and Edward. As soon as Edward saw me, he got up and retraced my steps up the stairs. I walked over to Eddie and he opened his arms for me to sit down in his lap. I looked over to Renesmee who was grinning widely at me, I rolled my eyes and she just laughed.

"So… what do you want to do tomorrow?" Eddie asked me. Tomorrow. Oh.

"Oh I'm sorry, I forgot, I have to go home tomorrow. My mom thinks I'm spending way too much time here. She wants to take me shopping," I answered him. He stiffened.

"In Seattle?" he asked, I nodded.

"No. Not Seattle, anywhere but Seattle," he said.

"Why?" I asked him, trying to control me wasn't a turn on.

"Because that's where Chantelle's boyfriend was turned," Renesmee answered me. I looked at her, my eyes widening. Okay I take back what I said about Eddie being controlling.

"Okay, I'm not going to Seattle," I replied quickly. If I was going to become a vampire, I wanted one of the Cullen's to change me, not some random vampire out looking for blood.

"Thank you," Eddie whispered and kissed my hair.

I don't like the thought of you being out there without me. It's dangerous. He placed in my head.

I'll be okay. I thought. I didn't know if he was reading my mind but it was worth a shot.

I hope so. I'm going to be worrying all day. I don't want to sound like an overprotective boyfriend but please please call me when you get home after. He said, the tone of this voice was pleading. I nodded.

I will. I told him. I didn't want him worrying.

Thank you. He thought and placed a kiss on my head. I looked back over to Renesmee again, this time she wasn't smiling at us, just at Jacob. They were staring at each other adoringly, it made my heart swell. They were so in love it was unbelievable. I wondered if Eddie and I ever looked like that.

"Okay dinner is ready. I'm sorry it's late," Esme said walking into the room.

"That's okay grandma, we understand," Renesmee said standing up from Jacob's lap. Jacob followed her out the room.

"You gunna go eat?" Eddie asked me. I shook my head and rested it on his chest. He tightened his arms around me slightly in a squeeze before he let go again.

"Why?"

"I need to get home," I answered. I didn't want to go. I wanted to stay here, in Eddie's arms but I had to. I loved my mom too; I needed to spend more time with her.

"Okay," he whispered painfully. I looked up at his perfect face and brought my lips to his in a sweet kiss. The gentle kiss soon became urgent and I was quickly losing oxygen. Eddie put his hand on the back of my neck to keep me there, although my lungs were burning to breath I just couldn't bring myself to pull away.

"Eh hem," I heard from beside us. I finally pulled away, gasping for air as I looked up. Edward was standing there grinning.

"I heard you needed to go home?" he asked. I nodded and I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks. Eddie chuckled and kissed my cheek closest to his mouth.

"I'll take her dad. It's fine," Eddie said looking up at Edward.

"Okay. Drive carefully."

"I will," he replied and stood up from the couch placing me on my feet.

"You got everything?" he asked. I nodded, I could feel my phone in my left pocket and I kept a bag here permanently for the times I slept over. "Let's go," he said taking my hand.

"Bye Ness," I called out to the kitchen.

"Oh! Bye Clo. Have fun tomorrow!" She replied.

"Thanks, I'm sure I will," I said and walked out the house with Eddie gripping my hand tightly.
