Heidi's POV

A couple of days later Bella woke up in what seemed to be her favorite spot on my body, between my breasts, and of course I was not going to complain about her preferences. "Good morning mia Bella, how did you sleep?" I asked softly.

She gave me a sleepy smile as she cuddled into me even more. "Since I spent the majority of the night on the two most comfortable pillows imaginable, I would say I slept wonderful."

"I'm glad my breasts are such a form of comfort to you mi amore. I would hate to make you feel any form of discomfort while we're sharing a bed." I said with a soft smile.

She smiled and kissed me. "You should know by now that I am a very big fan of your breasts, as I am of most of your body." She said as she toyed with one of my nipples.

I growled playfully and flipped us over at vampire speed. "Don't start something we can't finish love."

"Who says we can't? We have nowhere to be today and its been a while since we had the opportunity to make love, although I do have an idea that might spice things up a little. Could I tempt you into fucking me while we take a bath together?" Bella asked with an almost devious smile.

I grinned at her. "Well, I don't think you'd have to do much tempting there mia Bella. I've been dying to do something special with you. I have the perfect idea for that too, which will probably work even better with the size of our bath."

Bella smiled and kissed me softly before we made our way to the bathroom, and it was clear to me she was anticipating this as much as I was.

The moment we got into the bathroom and Bella had turned the tap on, I pressed myself against her. "Do you trust me, mia Bella?"

"With my life Heidi." She said with a soft moan.

I smiled and pressed a kiss to her neck before I slowly bent her over so she had no choice but to rest her hands on the edge of the bath, and I just couldn't resist kissing my way down her back until I was pressed fully against her while running my hands down to that shapely butt of hers. "Keep holding on to that tub then, because I've been wanting to bend you over something and fuck you since the first time we shared a bed."

"Then why did you wait until now to do so? Usually you're the first one to give into the lust." Bella said softly.

I smirked and slid two fingers into her, making her moan loudly. "Because I was and still am afraid to hurt you Bella. I would never forgive myself if I did that. I'm kind of known for losing all inhibitions when the lust overtakes me, and I promise that I will make it up to you tenfold when you are turned."

Bella smiled back at me. "I will hold you to that Heidi, because I've been dreaming about having you just bend me over any flat surface and just fuck the everloving shit out of me, or have your head buried between my thighs ravaging my pussy with your tongue. I've even had a dream of you taking my ass in some way."

"Trust me when you're turned, we're going to do all of that and all hell of a lot more. While I don't dream. I've had tons of fantasies of things I can do with you, if you would ever be up for a bit of public sex." I said with a grin as I added a third finger.

Bella moaned even louder at that as I quickly turned off the tap before tweaking her nipple just a little. "Oh Gods, that feels so good baby. Don't stop, please!"

"I won't until I either hear you scream or moan out your first orgasm, although I am far from done with you. I believe you wanted me to fuck you in the tub and so far I haven't delivered. So we're going to get in the tub and we're going to make sure that the floor is as wet as you are by the time that we're done." I said with a smile as I pulled my fingers out of her.

She gave me an adorable pout as we climbed into the tub, her back against my front before I slipped my fingers back into her, setting an almost relentless pace which had her thrashing in the tub within minutes.

She desperately sought purchase on the smooth marble and I had to wrap an arm around her waist to make sure that she didn't accidentally hurt herself. "You really are enjoying yourself aren't you mia Bella?"

"Of course I am. I love it when you fuck me so fast that I can barely remember my name, let alone what is going on." She said with a high pitched moan.

I smiled and pressed a long kiss to her neck, fully intent on leaving a hickey there, so that the whole house would see what we had done this morning. "I can feel you are close though, because your pussy is desperately trying to squeeze my fingers off."

"Close? I already came three times from that pace you set, and I am very close to actually losing my mind." She moaned almost pitifully.

I grinned and redoubled my efforts, wanting her to scream out her pleasure while I also sucked a bit harder on her neck.

Bella trashed in my grip before stiffening and screaming my name at the top of her lungs, slumping against me once she had reached her absolute peak. "Sweet God that was amazing. I don't think I can walk for the foreseeable future."

"I'll gladly carry you everywhere mia Bella. I think I will only have to fear Esme's reaction to the hickey I left on your neck." I said with a soft smile.

She merely smiled at me. "I don't care. If I could get away with it I would let you all give me a very visible hickey, so that the puppies in particular will see exactly who I belong to."

I grinned and kissed her as we quickly finished our bath before Esme would come and collect us so Bella could have breakfast.

Esme's POV

When Heidi and Bella finally came down I was a bit surprised to see that Heidi was carrying Bella. "Well this is a new one. What brought this on?"

Heidi smiled at me as she placed Bella in her usual seat at the kitchen island. "We got a little bit carried away in the bath this morning, so I thought it would be safer to carry our love downstairs."

I smiled before my eye fell on the bright hickey on her neck. "And I assume that hickey was a part of that? You know how I feel about that."

Bella nodded and pressed a kiss to my knuckles. "I promise you that Heidi didn't do anything that I didn't like or consent to. You know that I wouldn't allow something like this if I wasn't completely okay with this."

I nodded and nuzzled my nose in her neck, needing to reassure myself that no one but one of our lovers had laid this claim on Bella. "I know sweetheart. It is just that I have a bit of an issue with anyone pressing such sudden claims, even if that person is our mate."

Bella smiled at me as she pressed herself against me. "I'm sorry love, I was merely craving something visible when the puppies come to harass us again."

I was a bit surprised to hear her say that, not only because it made a lot of sense, but that Bella was thinking so far ahead. Having this visible mark would make sure we would remain as calm as possible. "I'm impressed love. I've never heard of anyone with that amount of foresight. You have a mark like that is sure to keep us calm when they come sniffing around again."

She smiled at that. "There is actually one better thing we could do to make sure the puppies will know that I'm all yours."

"And what would that be love?" I asked softly, honestly not knowing what she meant besides having us all mark her.

"Before I answer, I think we need everyone here. My answer while surprising should be heard by everyone." Bella said softly.

As if on cue, which they probably took that as, Alice, Rosalie and Victoria joined us. "You rang, oh Queen of sexy times?" Victoria asked with a big grin.

Bella smiled and nodded. "I did, sort of. As you may have noticed, Heidi gave me a decent hickey this morning and what Esme said got me thinking. Why are we still waiting for the puppies to make the first move? You all want to keep me safe and there is only one way that will truly happen without all of you having to worry about me, and I think if you all think about it, you know what it is."

"You want to be turned then? Are you sure you are ready Bella?" Rosalie asked softly as she took a seat next to me.

Bella nodded and looked to all of us. "I am. We made each other a promise when we left Volterra that we were not going to let men dictate our lives anymore, and with the way we're handling the wolves now that is exactly what we are doing."

Rosalie smiled at her as I gathered Bella's attention. "You make a very good point, so when do you want to do this baby?"

"Today, because I'm ready and I am not going to wait for my nerves to get the better of me." She said with determination.

I looked to the others, who all merely smiled at her. "Then we will do this tonight, and because it is going to be special for all of us involved, we have some preparations to make. Alice, I need you to select the perfect outfit for when she wakes up. Heidi and Victoria, I need you two to get the big mattress and set it up in Edward's old room. Rose, you and I are going to spend the rest of the morning taking care of Bella and preparing her for the change."

Everyone nodded at that as Alice almost flew upstairs and Victoria and Heidi made their way to the storage room to get the mattress we needed.

Rose and I then turned to Bella. "So love, for the rest of the day we're going to do a few things, call them rituals if you will, to prepare you for tonight. As you might imagine what we are going to do is very rare in our world, since most vampires are turned rather violently. I found some practices from mated couples in Volterra that were able to turn their mate in similar circumstances to ours. First Rosalie and I will wash you from head to toe and after that the others should be ready with preparing the room. Once they have joined us, we're going to spend three hours in the living room stark naked making sure you are as relaxed as you possibly can be. After that we'll take you to the room and all bite your main arteries so we can get as much venom in your body as we can, as well as take a little bit of your blood so it can mix together properly. Our hope is that the change will go a lot quicker. When you wake up we'll take you out to hunt. I'm sure we can find a small gaggle of idiots that'll volunteer to become our dinner."

Bella smiled at that. "So first I'm going to be pampered by you two and then the others will join us to continue the pampering. Who could say no to that?"

Rosalie and I smiled and kissed her softly. "I don't suppose many women could, but fortunately you will be the only one we will ever do this for." Rosalie said with a smile.

Bella nodded at us. "I'm glad for that, because I don't know if I would be able to control myself if you did this for anyone else."

I smiled at that. "We'd never contemplate doing this for anyone else but you love, and it is about time we stop stalling and get you into the bath. We have a lot to do after all."

Bella's POV

When Esme and Rosalie said that they were going to wash me, I never expected it to be as reverend as it was. Rosalie had taken great care and pleasure in undressing me while Esme ran me a bath, and I had to admit that the soothing scents of lavender and vanilla helped a lot settle my self inflicted nerves. "Are you okay love?" Rosalie asked softly.

I nodded at her. "I am, probably more than I thought I would be. I just can't help but get stuck in my own head again."

Rosalie smiled sweetly and nuzzled my neck. "We figured as much, which is one of the reasons Esme wants to do this for you. It will not only relax you, but also erase any lingering doubts. The bond we share won't allow any doubts now that you've made the decision."

I smiled and relaxed against her. "I know, because I can feel it in my heart, and to be honestly the only doubts that I still have left are those that I'm unsure of what will happen. Fear of the unknown if you will."

Rosalie nodded at that as she slipped her thumbs in my shorts before lowering them while placing a soft kiss to my stomach. "I get that love, but if it is any consolation, you'll probably be the most informed human entering our world in many centuries."

"It does help, and I'll be fine once we're all in the bedroom with you girls surrounding me while I lay there naked and ready." I said with a slight blush.

Rosalie smiled at that. "About that, there is one thing I do need to tell you, and it involves this." She said as she ran her fingers through my pubic hair. "You will have to either come up with something you'll be good with forever, or shave it all off, because you know that no amount of wax is going to get rid of that after you're turned."

"I know, and I was hoping you would help me with that. I honestly don't trust myself with a razor down there, which is why I usually use some form of electric shaver. I just need it to be completely smooth before you girls turn me. I'm not going to live an immortal life with stubble down there."

She nodded and pressed a kiss to my cheek. "Of course baby. I would gladly do that for you, but by the smell of it, your bath is ready."

"Then let's not waste any more time. I'm ready to be pampered." I said with a wink.

Rosalie just smiled as she took off her own clothes, leaving on just her underwear, which I very much appreciated since it brought out that magnificent ass of hers.

As we walked into the bathroom, I saw that Esme had also taken off everything besides her panties, although calling them that would be generous, because very much unlike her usual choice in underwear, they barely covered anything. "This is certainly a nice surprise. I don't think I've ever seen you wear something this sexy." I said with a grin.

Esme smiled and kissed me as she lifted me into the tub. "I wear something like this often, but we rarely take time to admire each other's choices in underwear." She said with a smile.

I smiled at her. "I suppose that won't change for the foreseeable future, if everything you've all have told me about newborns is true."

They both smiled at me as Rosalie started washing my hair and Esme did the same for my legs. "Oh trust me that for a few months underwear will not only be optional, it will probably also be an afterthought baby. As a newborn clothes in general will be an afterthought in most cases. Sex and blood, most likely in that order, will be your main focus for at least three months." Esme said with a soft smile.

I smiled at that. "I think with five women with endless stamina in the house, I don't think the first will be a problem."

"It won't love. The only thing we might worry about is feeding. For those first couple of months we'll have to be careful on where we go hunt, although with the way you have broken expectations you've done so far, we hope that you will have exceptional control over your bloodlust." Rosalie said as she massaged my scalp.

I moaned softly before answering. "I hope so too, because with how small Forks is, feeding might be a bit of a problem."

"We know, and I promise that we'll make it work. We'll go and fetch people from Seattle or Portland if we have to, but I have a feeling that it won't get that far. We have full confidence in your ability to control yourself when you wake up." Esme said softly.

I nodded at them. "I hope so too, because I really don't want to have to leave before we've dealt with the puppies."

"We'll figure it out, love. We wouldn't want to deny you your revenge, nor our own for that matter. The wolves have taken liberties with us for far too long, and we need to put them in their place once and for all, which will probably escalate into a battle that they can't win, since we not only have age, but also the benefit of a vengeful newborn, and even in the supernatural world, there are few things scarier then that." Rosalie said with a soft smile.

I just smiled at her as they motioned me to stand, and I could see that they both took a moment to admire my body.

While Esme washed most of the rest of my body, Rosalie expertly shaved my pubic hair, and I couldn't help but blush a little as she did.

Once Esme was satisfied with my cleanliness, she lifted me out of the tub before pressing a soft kiss to the top of my head. "Now for the rest of the day we're going to focus on keeping you as relaxed as possible, and there is also a decision you need to make. You know we're all going to bite you, but as you might imagine, there is only one person that can bite your neck. It is the most sacred place on ones body and while we would all like to do it, there can truly be only one." Esme said softly.

I smiled at her. "I know, and there is only one person I want to bite my neck, and of course this has nothing to do with how I feel about the others, but I need it to be Alice."

Esme and Rosalie both smiled at that. "We understand that love. We all knew it was a big possibility. We're not offended." Rosalie said with a soft smile.

I merely smiled and kissed them both as they dried me off before we made our way downstairs, where the rest of our Coven was waiting for us, all of them stark naked.

Alice's POV

I have to admit that even with all my powers of foresight I did not expect that Bella would make such a snap decision on wanting to be turned today, but now that she was lying on the bed, naked and ready, I couldn't help but smile at her. She looked absolutely gorgeous and the shy smile she gave me as we all sought a spot around her, and not for the first time today I was incredibly honored that she wanted me to be the one that got to bite her neck.

"Are you okay love? Not nervous anymore?" I asked softly.

She nodded and smiled at me. "I'm as relaxed as I possibly can Ali. I know that it might have been sudden, but I am more than ready to be one of you and spend eternity with the women I love more than anything."

I smiled and kissed her softly. "We love you too Bella and I'll admit that I am very excited to see what you will be like as a newborn. I've had a few conflicting visions so I will for once let myself be surprised."

Bella smiled at me as Esme gathered our attention. "Now that we're all here and ready, may I suggest we get started, otherwise we'll spend the rest of the night lost in our own little world again."

"Sorry baby, Ali and I were having a bit of a moment. I'm ready." Bella said softly.

We all smiled at her before we all kissed her in turn. "Then we wish you a good night, and we'll be here every second until you open your eyes again." Rosalie said with a loving smile.

Bella nodded and smiled as I pressed a soft kiss to her neck before biting down, quickly followed by Esme and Rosalie, who bit into her wrists and Heidi and Victoria who bit into the major arteries of her legs making her moan in pain and probably a bit of pleasure as well.

Her blood was sweeter than anything I had ever tasted, and I doubted that I ever would again, and almost as one we pulled back from her, and I can honestly admit that I had never seen something so sexy in my eighty years.

"And now we wait for the change to take hold. I wonder how long it will take?" Heidi asked softly.

I smiled at her as I ran my fingers through Bella's hair. "That's one of of conflicting visions I've had. One showed me that it'll take two days, but another one shows me that it'll only take a day. It's never happened to me before that two visions contradict each other so much."

Esme smiled at me. "I think that is because this is something unprecedented. Usually it is just one vampire's venom that runs through a newborn's system, but Bella will have all of our venom running through her veins, and all of us are hoping that she will wake up as soon as possible, and I think that varies from a few hours to two days."

I contemplated that before I nodded. "I think you're might be on to something there love. It is definitely something to research at some point. Right now though I don't think I can focus on anything else then Bella."

They all smiled as they repositioned themselves around Bella. "That goes for all of us Ali. We've talked so much about this day that we're all a bit nervous now that it is finally here." Rosalie said softly as she reached for one of the towels so we could clean Bella up a little. We wouldn't want her to smell her own blood when she woke up after all.

Bella only stirred lightly as we cleaned her up. "Even now she's adorable. I don't know how she does it." Heidi said with a fond smile to our love.

"Bella's default setting is adorable or sex kitten, there really is no in between with her. I'm also quite sure that the sex kitten is going to be her default setting for the next couple of months." Victoria said with a soft smile.

Esme smiled and nodded at that. "Yes, I think she'll switch frequently between horny and hungry in the coming months, and while I know none of us will have an issue with that, we'll have to be careful not to let her indulge in feeding too much. I would very much like to avoid a newborn blood frenzy at this point."

"Amen to that, but I think Bella will surprise us all. I honestly believe that Bella will be the most controlled newborn in a long time, since she has all of our venom running through her veins and we differ a lot in age. Esme's venom especially will give her some exceptional control I think." Rosalie said with a soft smile.

Esme smiled at that as we all saw how the change was already affecting Bella. She had become even paler than she already was, but what was even more surprising was the fact that she had yet to make a sound.

"She never fails to surprise, does she? Any other person would have been screaming in pain already." Heidi said softly.

"That is the beauty of having all of us contributing to her change. Because of the mating bond she won't feel anything of the venom as it changes her. The bond feels that it would hurt all of us if we heard that, so the combination of our venom makes that it will be painless for all six of us." Esme said with a loving smile.

I smiled at that. "I'm honestly wondering about something else. Who do you think she'll pin to the bed once she wakes up?"

We all shared a look. "I have a feeling it's going to be either Vicky or Heidi. Newborn lust and all." Rosalie said with a grin.

"It might very well be Alice for that same reason, but no matter what happens, we'll make sure to sate that lust together, no matter who she focuses on first." Esme said softly.

We all nodded at that, knowing that there would be nothing left of Edward's room by the time we were done with that particular activity, and I couldn't help the slightly evil grin that spread on my lips at the thought of that.
