The Missing Future Take

Summary: Just a trip back to the TM characters, ten years down the road. A special gift to Kyla713 for her Birthday. Epov of course.

Beta'd by Packeh(any and all mistakes are my own), pre-read by Heather. Thank you girls, I really appreciate it.

My dear Kyla713 had no idea I was doing this. Though, I am sure she had an inkling. She's always gone on about her love for The Missing, so I figured I'd write her a little something from it. (Though, I had plans to write her a mini fic, but apparently my kids had other plans.) It is the least I could do, when she's done so much for me. You see, she's quickly grown to be one of my best friends that this fandom has luckily given me. I honestly don't know what I'd do without her.

SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLA713! ENJOY!

Ten years later...

There used to be a time where I would sit back and look at my beautiful Bella and wonder, selfishly, how she would look as a vampire, all the while, mourning the loss of what made her human. Her heartbeat, her warmth... but now, looking at her pale skin shimmering as the sun teased it brought a smile to my face, and would have, if I had a heart, made it beat again beneath my chest. She was beyond beautiful in her new life. Her eyes, that were once the chocolate brown that I'd adored, were now light honey colored, and in them, I could see right into her soul.

Bella used to argue with me about having a soul, claiming that I indeed had one, and I never truly believed her. Not until she opened her eyes as a vampire and those bright red orbs looked back at me did I finally believe her. I could see just how she was, still is, as I watched her take her first steps towards me. She was still my shy Bella. She still carried her honesty, curiosity and love in those eyes. I found myself forever thankful that I let myself just be that day that I gave in and changed her. It was one of the biggest decisions of my life, and haven't regretted any of it since.

I watched her through the years come into her own as a vampire. It took her a few months to get used to all that came the vampire lifestyle, and amazingly, she still had bouts of clumsy human Bella peek out from time to time. Though I no longer heard her heart beat, I was now graced with soft moans, sighs and her calling out my name every time we made love, and somehow that was enough for me. There was just something about knowing that I had her for eternity by my side that made me not miss it so much. Her scent hasn't changed, still the same strawberry infused fuscia that drove me wild. The same smile that used to adorn her blushing face, graced it now.

My love for her hasn't changed. If anything, it has grown more than I ever thought possible. There are still moments where my mind goes back to that lonely house in Brazil and all those months I wasted and my heart aches, but then when my eyes fall on Bella, every part of my body is filled with a love so powerful, I can't contain it at times. More often than not, I would seek Bella out, just to kiss her deeply, whisper my love, and ravish her completely until I am spent and was able to give her all of the love that filled me. Ten years later, and I still found that no measure of time is enough. I'll never run out of love for this woman that chose to be by my side until the earth ceased to exist.

I was blessed, more than blessed, and I thanked God every day for allowing me to keep her.

Soft lips and a long drawn out sigh forced me out of my memories. "What's on your mind, handsome?" My angel asked as she straddled my lap facing me.

"A lot of things, Love."

"Care to share?" Bella questioned before her lips met my neck, causing my eyes to close and a low moan escape.

"Just memories." My voice came out raspy as she nipped and bit up my jaw, causing me to let out a hiss of pleasure.

"Good memories?" She asked as she pressed her weight down on to me as I nodded. "I'm thirsty." I looked up at her, noticing her light eyes were much darker, holding a hint of mischievousness in them.

"Well, then, Love, I don't want you to go thirsty." My lips met hers in a hungry kiss, my tongue teasing her bottom lip until she allowed access. All these years, and her lips still sent jolts of electricity throughout me, heightening the already rising sexual tension. "Why don't we take this to ahh-" I said as her hands sneaked up my shirt, flicking my right nipple - "take this somewhere more private."

"I was hoping you'd say that." Bella got off of me, making me whimper at the loss. "You can't sit there all day if you want to fix my hunger." Oh, love, I'll do more than fix your hunger. Bella let out a giggle, before turning around and rushing out of the room. I heard the front door open, my family laughing as I listened to her footfalls quicken as she broke out into a run.

You're slow today, Edward. Are you gonna catch up or what? Maybe I should just take the first mountain lion I see. I heard her voice in my head, making my arousal climb even higher. Even after all these years, I still wasn't used to her thoughts entering my mind, but I couldn't complain.

"Coming, love." I said, as I ran out of the house,breaking into a fast run, missing her being on my back like she used to when she was a human. She was still quite a bit ahead of me. She was graceful in the way she ran, jumping over fallen logs, maneuvering between trees. Damn, I just want to tackle her to the ground and have my wicked way with her.

Bella suddenly stopped, going completely still, allowing me to catch up with her. I noticed why once I laid my eyes on the mountain lion blocking our path. We had nothing to fear, but this male mountain lion did. My eyes darted to Bella, "You said you were hungry, love."

She turned her head to face me, "Want to share?" I gulped, my mind suddenly overcome with vivid memories of the last time we shared, and the outcome after it. It was the most feral, mind blowing sex we'd ever had. My answer to her was just a nod, it was all I was capable of.

The mountain lion snarled at us as he began to pace back and forth across the path, the instinct to lunge at us was strong, judging by his muscles tightening with each pass. Bella pounced first, jumping on to the mountain lion and swiftly biting into it's neck, forcing the lion to lose his balance. I followed, and threw my arms around the lion's front paws as I bit into the cat's neck close to Bella's bite. The blood was sweet, warm, heavenly. My ears were filled with the sounds of Bella gulping, low moans escaping her. Before too long, the cat's breaths were non-existent, and I knew we had only a few minutes before the blood would go bad, so I began to drink greedily.

Bella pulled away, her arm wiping away remnants of blood from her lips. "Watching you drink, hearing you swallow...I'll never tire of that. God, I want you." She told me, the truth of her words shining in her eyes. I'd never deny her anything.

"Run." Was all I said, causing her eyes to grow wide in excitement as she took off, leaving a heady scent behind. Arousal. My nostrils flared as my jaw tightened.

I ran as fast as I could, my feet pounding into the ground the faster I ran. My eyes stayed on my target, never losing her as she ducked between trees and jumping a small stream. I jumped after her, striding up next to her, my arms quickly enfolding her as we tumbled to the ground.

"Got you." I whispered, as I pulled off the remains of her shirt.

"You did. But now, what are you going to do with me?" She asked, innocence dripping from her voice.

I growled, no words coming to me, just instinct. I tore off her pants, throwing them somewhere behind me. Her panties soon became shards of fabric as I pulled them away from her body. Her naked body always amazed me, and she was even more beautiful in her crazed state after a hunt.

Her hands began to claw at me, pulling the fabric away from my body, not at all caring if she was making a mess. She bent down, bit my lip hard, which made me grow impossibly harder as I moaned loudly. She began to kiss me as she ground down around me. I then rolled us over so that I was on top of her. I pulled her hands up above her head and held them there as I kissed my way down her neck to her collarbone, nipping and biting as made my way down to her breast.

"I can't.. I need.. you must.." Bella's voice was beautiful when she was aroused.. like it coated her vocal cords and the sweetest whimpers accompanied each word.

I pushed into her, hard and fast. The moans I was dragging out of her were soon to become my undoing. I tried to focus on the feel of her, but my mind was all over the place. I tilted her hips upward, hitting that spot that I've learned over the years that she likes over and over, but Bella wasn't having that. She soon pushed me off of her, laying me out on my back as she stalked up my body, eventually placing her entrance over my hardness and pushing down on me.

I growled at the feel of her, moaned when she swiveled her hips just right and rode me as fast as she could. My hands were on her hips helping her move. The way she'd push down on me and tighten her muscles around me. The whimpers that escaped her when my thumb met her clit, was my undoing. I let out a guttural moan as an orgasm so fierce crashed through me. She soon followed, her muscles coiling around me as she came.

"I do love a good hunt." Bella voiced, as she slumped to the ground next to me, her head on my shoulder.

"No complaints from me, love. In fact, I can still taste that cat on you." I kissed her again, this time much slower as I ran my tongue along the bottom of her lip, tasting the very last tint of the lion's blood.

"We should probably head back, huh?" she asked as she stood up naked. "We could sneak in, right? Our clothes are not salvageable." She laughed, and if she were human, would be blushing.

"I'm sure we could sneak in, jump up to our room."

We walked back, hand in hand. Once we reached the opening of the forest that led to our house, Bella quickly hid behind me, placing her head on my back, in between my shoulders.

"Alice said you guys might need these." Carlisle said, handing me a bag. "I'm sure I don't even need to ask if you two had a good time." He chuckled and walked off. Isn't hunting with your mate more than you ever dreamed, Edward? I answered him with a quiet yes, knowing he could hear me.

We changed into the clothes Alice provided us with and made our way into the house, ignoring my family as we walked up to our room. I closed the door behind us, turning around to face my beautiful wife.

"What do you say to another ten years?" I asked, walking up to her and pulling her close to me as I placed my forehead on hers.

"I think I'm okay with that. But I'm rather looking forward to the next millennium."

"So forever?"

"Forever."

So, yeah... LOL. I figured since we didn't get much, errr, ExB interaction in The Missing, I'd leave my darling Kyla713 with this.

I hope you've enjoyed, and I hope your birthday is all you want it to be. Thank you for being an amazing friend. I am so glad I know you. One of these days I will get to tacklehug you for real.

And to all of my readers, a huge thank you for reading. Maybe you all could head over to Kyla713 and wish her a happy birthday.
