"The Life and Times of 'Perfection'"

By: lookinthestars

Chapter One: "Hear Our Sweet Lullaby"

A cold feeling rushed through my forehead as something smooth softly pressed up against my face.

"Uggh," I moaned. Who, or what, was waking me up?

My eyelids felt like a hundred pounds each, not that I was fighting to open them. The cold suddenly and swiftly left my forehead, but soon reappeared at my lips. M eyes shot open, and I willed myself to be fully awake with my power.

"Edward!" I yelped, Edward's divine face inches from mine. I had tossed off his lips from my mouth when I had started shouting his name. "Edward, Edward, Edward!" I screamed, bouncing up and down. I couldn't bounce high enough to evenly compare with my emotion of happiness. Partly because the ceiling of Edward's room wasn't high enough, and partly because Edward was holding me off the top of the bed in his arms, our bodies crushed together. His glorious body no longer felt cold to me so I pressed myself even closer.

"Bella," He greeted me, his velvet voice soft and musical. He pushed back my hair from my face. He then presses his grateful face down to mine and kissed my cheeks repeatedly.

"Edward," I mumbled, using all my will power to tear myself away from the kiss. He lifted his eyes to mine, a questioned look taking over his face. "Ellie…"

I glanced over to the crib and saw Ellie's back facing us, her body slowly rising and falling with her breaths.

"I put her in the crib just a few minutes ago. She was lying on me the entire time." He smiled at the last part. I nodded quickly and looked to the door.

"We have to tell your family you're alive," I spoke in a monotone voice.

"Why haven't they come up here? Haven't they smelled me? They've been…in their rooms the entire time you were sleeping!" I raised my eyebrows slightly. Edward immediately knew what I wanted to know. "It's 6:00 in the morning…" He said, his eyes curious.

"They haven't come up because you smell exactly like Ellie, or vice versa." I said. Edward's arms rubbed little circles in my back as I continued. "They smell you, I guess, it's just they probably think they're smelling Ellie's scent, rather than yours." I finished. Edward smiled an evil smile.

"She smells like you, not me."

I sighed playfully. "Just keep telling yourself that, but she smells like you to everyone else, including me." I rolled my eyes. He shook his head, but smiled.

"I'm not caving in," In he told me. I rolled my eyes again.

"Whatever," I said stupidly, starting to blow at my shortly cut nails.

"Someone thinks they're a valley girl!" Edward cried in a singsong voice. I made a 'Yeah, shut up' noise at Edward, and we both started to crack up.

I snuggled up to his chest, and heard him take a sharp breath of intake, which pleased me. He wasn't the only one who could use his vampire looks to dazzle now.

"I missed you," I breathed as Edward wrapped his arms even tighter around me.

"I love you," He answered simply. He rocked us back and forth for a while, and I decided to make him even happier.

I closed my eyes shut and focused on becoming warm, even warmer than when I was a human. I could soon feel the heat rising up throughout my body, and my fingers went to the back of Edward's neck.

Edward felt as cold as ice compared to my warm self. I felt Edward jump as he felt the heat on his neck.

"Lord!" He cried. "Bella, you're on fire!"

I giggled softly, shyly. He looked at me, his eyes filled with worry and curiosity. "Bella! Why in the world are you laughing? You're a vampire. You're supposed to be cold, dead, not hotter than you were when you were a human." He words came out in a rush, but I could understand them now.

I couldn't help myself. I was teasing him tons so far, so why not more?

"I know I'm hot Edward, but humans get even more beautiful when they're changed. They don't get uglier." I teased him in a patient voice. He glared at me.

"Bella," He hissed, which only made me smile harder. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"No more than the usual things," Oh, I was making him so mad. His body started to shake under mine. I sighed, the game was over. "Nothings wrong with me, it's just part of my power. I can control my body with my mind."

I received a questioning stare. Urgh. I hated trying to explain this subject. "You see, I had a very deep mind when I was human. That's why you can't hear my thoughts…" I paused slightly, not knowing where to go. "My power is somewhat similar to controlling my body when I was a human, except it was amplified many, many times when I was changed."

Edward still had a confused look on his face.

"I can not only how out I am, or how fast I run, I control if I'm hungry and what I'm hungry for. When I was just changed, I knew the blood lust would be tremendously large, so I focused on not wanting the blood. That's why -"

"You didn't like blood when you had just awakened." Edward finished for me. "What else?" He pondered.

"Well, I can control my body to do all the human things. Like, crying or…." I shuddered. "Blushing."

"Amazing." He said in a hushed tone. "So you haven't lost all humanity? You still retain your human likeness?"

"I guess," I confessed. Carlisle wasn't exactly sure of the full extent of my power.

Suddenly, Edward reached his arms around my back and laid is now cold hands on my neck. "I'm so glad, Bella. Those were some of the reasons I didn't want to change you. Because I still wanted you to be human. But now…you have most of…I'm so glad," He couldn't seem to find the words to express his happiness. "This warmth is amazingly pleasant." I laughed. Leave it to Edward to see the most important things of a situation.

"There's something else," I murmured against his shoulder. He looked down at me, my cheek still uncomfortably pressed against his chest. "I can mimic other vampire powers."

Edward froze. "Come again?"

"I can mimic other vampire powers." I shut my eyes and focused on needing Edward's power; to read minds, to read Edward's thoughts. All the sudden, Edward's thoughts popped into my head.

What did she say? Mimic other vampire powers? That's not possible is it? Is it?

There was a slight pause in his thoughts.

She looks so cute with her eyes closed.

I blushed, but didn't open my eyes.

She blushed! Amazing, she was right!

"Of course I'm right, Stupid." I breathed, my mind still focused on mind reading.

What the…? Did I say that out loud? Bella?

"Bella?" He questioned. Whoops. I have to answer that one.

"What?"

"Did you just…"

"Read your thoughts?" I answered for him. He nodded.

"Uh huh,"

I opened my eyes, and he was obviously stunned.

"Okay, what am I thinking….now?" He quickly shot out. I focused on Edward's mind again.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, How I wonder what you are…Up above that world so high –

"Edward!" I screeched. He grinned down at me sheepishly. "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star? That's the best you could come up with?"

"Sorry," He looked at me, his gold eyes brimming with a questioning look. "Aren't you overwhelmed by the amount of voices your hearing? It took me years to perfect my power."

"No. I can only hear your voice." That surprised me, too.

"Really?"

"Yeah. I just focused on hearing your thoughts and-"

"Wait. Try and focus on Ellie's thoughts. I can hear what she's thinking." Strangely, his eyes seemed to soften and turn a lighter color as he listened to Ellie's thoughts.

"Okay…If you say so." I responded. I closed my eyes and focused on needing to hear Ellie's thoughts. All the sudden, all of Edward's thoughts were pushed out of my mind and Ellie's thoughts filled the empty space.

I started to cry when I heard what Ellie was thinking. Edward hugged me tighter as I listened to Ellie's thoughts and laid is cool forehead against mine, swaying us to the sounds that filled our minds.

We heard our Ellie's sweet, child voice singing our lullaby.

"Oh, Edward," I gasped. Our daughters voice was the most beautiful we had ever heard. I'd compare it to the sweet song of a robin, only more graceful and light. "Edward," I cried, sobbing through his shirt.

"You sang it to her," He gaped, not believing himself.

"It was your final wish. I had to comply." I said, a little jokingly.

"Thank you," He breathed. And we swayed back and forth, holding each other, through the darkness of the early morning.

"Edward," I mumbled. I realized I had fallen asleep in the crook of Edward's neck. "Sorry,"

"I don't mind." He responded, lightly.

"We have to tell your family that you're not dead." I repeated. "I think they'll want to know."

"You don't say." He teased. I sat up and straightened my blouse.

"I have to change." I thought out loud. I walked over to Ellie's crib, under the gaze of Edward's eyes. "Ellie," I whispered, shaking her out from her day dream. "Time to get up."

Ellie was up within seconds, ready to rock and roll. Edward chuckled. Our daughters eyes were suddenly directed to her father's, and she reached out giggling.

"Daddy!" She laughed. I quickly picked her up and handed her over to Edward.

"Do you think you can handle dressing her?" I asked him.

"No problem. Where are her clothes?" Good Lord, Edward is going to pick out Ellie's outfit. Oh, well. Let him be.

"In our room," He raised a perfect eyebrow. "The room across from Alice's."

"Gotcha," Edward retorted. I rolled my eyes as he swiftly picked Ellie's petite body off the edge of her crib. Edward and Ellie flew quickly and quietly into my old room, Ellie's new own room. I was obviously moving back in with Edward.

I walked human pace to the doorway of Ellie's bedroom, then gasped. Edward had Ellie sitting on the bed, and she was watching him fling clothes out of her drawers with much content.

"What in the world, are you doing?" I screeched. Edward looked up quickly, his arms still flailing at the speed of light, creating a higher pile of little girls clothes.

"I'm dressing Ellie." He answered simply, a blazing look of determination in his eyes.

A second later, I heard a scream in the house. It was Alice.

"Bella!" Alice squealed. "Edward! I smell him! It's not Ellie. I don't get it! Bella!" I heard her light movements racing up the stairs at vampire speed. Uh-Oh…

"Here comes the welcome wagon," Edward sighed. He stood himself up, and dropped all the brightly colored shirts he was holding as if they were his brand new car. And let me tell you, Edward likes his cars.

"Bella!" Alice screeched again. "Bella where are you…." Alice walked right by the door to Ellie's bedroom. She then smoothly turned right around and looked at me, then at Edward. Her jaw dropped. She looked at me again, and then back at Edward.

"Alice?" I asked, a little worried.

"Edward?" She asked not believing her words. Edward nodded slowly, a grin plastered on his face.

"Hi, Alice," Edward greeted Alice lightly. Alice screamed again. She bounded up to Edward faster than I'd ever seen her do, and flung her arms around him.

"You're real! You're back!" She let go of him, and smiled. Alice poked him in the arm.

"Stop," Edward complained, rubbing his arms where Alice had poked him. Alice squealed. Again.

"Alice, stop." I urged. Edward chuckled. Ellie was completely happy sticking her head through the leg hole of a pair of her shorts.

"I need to tell people. Now." Alice alerted us. "I should have seen this coming!" She mumbled. "Attention all Cullens!" She yelled, standing at the top of the stairs. "I have big news." She paused, probably for dramatic effect.

"What?" Emmett's voice sounded annoyed.

"Uhh…How do I put this?" Alice asked herself. "Oh, EDWARD'S BACK!"

Edward and I laughed. Alice was acting like a total idiot.

"What?"

"Huh?"

"Alice, did you drink from some sick animal?"

"Shut up! You'll only make Bella more depressed. Stop teasing her!" Came Emmett's harsh bellow. He was always like a big brother to me.

Instantly, I felt his two cool arms wrap around my stomach, holding me tight to his body.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Edward breathed against my face. The smell was still intoxicating to me.

So I leaned a little upward and met Edward's upturned lips with my own.

"Ahh…" He sighed, relaxed. I grinned, then looked back at the door. Alice was having some kind of fight with Rosalie and Emmett about Edward being right in my room. Jasper was reading a thick book, and looked up every once in a while to smile, then shake his head.

"He's here!" Alice protested. "Shh! You can hear him,"

I glanced up at Edward as a silence fell around the house.

"Talk," Alice commanded Edward.

"Huh? Why?" Edward had just broken out of a trance from staring at me.

"Talk so the rest of the non-believers can hear you! Idiot," Alice shook her head as she shot Edward a glare of disapproval.

"Alice, so testy this morning, aren't we now?" Edward teased. Alice's eyes were darker than usual, and she almost made contact with Edward's head with he fist, but she was interrupted.

"Oh my God!" Esme cried. We hadn't noticed, but she had walked in and had about to start putting some towels away in my closet. "Everyone! Alice was right! Edward is here!" Esme ran up to Edward, who was forced to release me so Esme could hug him.

I soon heard a sound like a herd of buffalos racing up the stairs and out of rooms. Before I knew it, all four of the other Cullens were standing at the door way, mouths open and eyes wide.

"Holy crap," Emmett mumbled.

"No," Rosalie gasped.

"Impossible," Jasper concluded.

"It was Ellie," Carlisle said. Everyone turned to look at him. He walked over to Ellie who was randomly trying on pairs of sunglasses and necklaces. "She…her power. To bring things back from the dead…"

A breath of understanding escaped from mostly everyone in the room.

"Whoa baby," Emmett was always the one with stupid comments. I laughed.

"Is it really you?" Rosalie asked, stuttering. Edward nodded.

And that released the welcome wagon, full force.

A/N: Okay, I hated this chapter. It was bad, I admit it. I had to clear up a ton of stuff, so that's why it seemed long, but it had no point. Next chapter will be better. I super promise.

If I get enough reviews ('cus then I know you love me) I will definitely post tomorrow!

REVIEW!
