A/N:

First of all let me give you all my deepest of apologies for putting of this story for so long. It should have been up ages ago. And I am SSSOOOO Sorry! Second, I should let you all know that I don't predict this story to be a long one, but you never know. Also…Just an update, my friend and I are working on another story along with this called Consumed by hate. It's very interesting, but I'm only working on it at my dads (Meaning no frequent updates). The summery sucks, but give it a chance… Anyways…Enjoy, and R&R

A Human Moment.

EPOV-

When the car pulled in front of the house, everyone was waiting to see us. I could hear Emmett's thoughts from a mile away…literally. He couldn't stop thinking about fighting me. He was very excited that he would be able to kick my ass. What a pansy. I thought to myself. He couldn't beat me up as a vampire, and so he plans on doing it while I'm human.

I sighed, and stepped out of the car. I helped Bella out, and I could hear the simultaneous gasps of my family members. We walked right past them and into the house. I headed straight for Carlisle's office and Bella followed. I sat down on the small tan couch, and waited for the interrogation as my whole family filed through the door. Everyone except for Carlisle stood against the wall, waiting to listen. Bella held my hand tightly as we watched Carlisle sit in his desk chair, and begin searching through his papers, and books.

Everyone stayed silent while he shuffled through papers and picked out the one he was looking for. I didn't realize I was holding my breath, until Bella looked at me and had to remind me to breathe. Carlisle looked over his paper one last time before handing it to me. I took it quickly and looked it over, but I had no idea what I was looking at.

"That is what is contained in the substance you and Bella have consumed."

I nodded. I read it over again, but I didn't understand what was in it that could possibly affect us. Actually I didn't know what any of it was except for snake blood, and venom.

"I should be able to make something to counter it."
"Like an antidote?"

"Something like that."

"Will it work?" Bella questioned and she sounded hopeful.
"It might. But I have to ask…are you sure you really want to reverse this? I have wished for a chance like this for a long time. As has everyone else in this room."

Suddenly I didn't have an answer. I looked to Bella. I would want whatever life she wanted. She looked as puzzled as I did.

"Well I will work on it. But I do want you to think about it. You don't have to be one of us to be apart of this family."

Bella looked deeply saddened. I think that was what she was most worried about. I put my arm around her in comfort.

"But…what about Jasper." He looked offended. She quickly looked at him, and apologized. "I don't mean anything by it. I'm sorry. It's just could you stand to live with two humans?"
"I think it would be a good idea. Better to teach me self control. Especially if it were my family who were human. I could never hurt either one of you."

She nodded. Then Esme began to talk.

"Think of all the advantages. Edward, Bella, you have the chance of a full life now. You have the chance to have children; something that never could have occurred before. Carlisle and I could be grandparents."

I suddenly perked up. I hope no one noticed, but that thought never once occurred to me. I lived for a century and never dreamed of the chance to have children. I looked at Bella to take in her reaction, and it seemed to affect her as it had me.

"You two have a lot to discuss. Why don't you go to your room to talk about it? Or sleep…I guess it is kind of late. Well which ever. I need to be alone to work on this if you choose to reverse this."

I wanted to reverse this, but I wanted more then anything to have the chance to have a child. I followed Bella out of Carlisle's office, and into our room. She tripped through the doorway, and I caught her. I was happy I hadn't let her fall, and I was amazed I caught her.

She blushed and whispered "Thanks."

"No problem."

I smiled at her, and we both walked over to the bed. She crawled into bed, but she didn't seem tired at all. She patted the spot next to her, and I lay down beside her. I pulled the covers around us. I breathed deeply, and she snuggled closely to me. I didn't know what to say to her. I herd her sigh, and I kissed her head softly.

"Edward?"

"Yes…"

"What are we going to do?" Her voice was confused, and sad. I would do anything to take the sadness away from her.

"I don't know love. I will follow you in whatever you want."

"I don't want you to…"

My eyebrows furrowed together in confusion.

"You don't want me to do what you do?"

"No…I don't want you to follow what I want. I think this is something we need to decide together." She stated looking at me now.

"Well what do you want?"
"I don't know Edward. It's all so confusing.
"I know. I wish the answer was simple."
"Me too."

Then there was silence. I wanted to ask her about what Esme had brought up, but I was afraid of her reaction. Did she even want kids? Was I sure I wanted kids? Well I guess that was a given. But I couldn't just throw that question out in the open; I had to ease her into something like that.

"I don't think I can begin to fathom what having kids would mean to you…"

"What!?"

I thought I was the mind reader here.

"You're nearly one hundred and ten; I saw the way you perked up when the idea of kids came up. This may be our only chance."
"Yes, but is it something you want also? I couldn't force something like that on you."

"If it's what you want…then yes."

"Really?" I said with hope in my voice, and a smile threatening to show it's self.
"Of course Edward, I love you."

I smiled at her.

"I love you too."

I leaned in to kiss her, but she held a finger to my lips. I frowned.

"What?"
"What are we going to do after?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean are we changing or staying how we are?"
"We would have to remain human…"

She answered me back with silence. She stared at me for a moment, and then turned away from me. I think it was apparent now that she wanted to reverse this. But I didn't. Not anymore. How could we be vampires with our child as a human? It isn't possible. I turned away from her also so that we were lying back to back. Then I mentally smacked myself for such a human reaction. I loved Bella no matter what, and even if she was being irrational, I would never turn away from her like that again.

I flipped back over, and wrapped my arms around her. She yawned, and I turned out the light. I hummed her lullaby, and waited for her to fall asleep before I closed my eyes and awaited the next morning.

BPOV-

Edward smiled brightly and leaned in for a kiss. I quickly held a finger to his lips, and he frowned. I still wanted to be a vampire, and he had to know that. He pulled back and asked,

"What?"

"What are we going to do after?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean are we changing or staying how we are?"

"We would have to remain human…"

Perfect. Just the sort of thing I would expect him to say. Oh well. I can't get everything I want. I was staring at him, and so I turned away, not wanting him to see how upset I really was. I was already o sick of humanity. I was already in love with vampirism, if one could call it that. I loved the speed, and the strength, I especially loved the gracefulness of it all. I didn't see it the way Edward did. Damned to eternal darkness…that's total bullshit and he knows it.

I felt the bed shift as he turned away from me, and I could feel my tear ducts begin to react. He has never turned away from me when I was upset. He has never turned away from me ever. I felt slightly alone. I guess while he is human he can't tell when I'm upset. I wanted kids, but I wanted my family too. But I also could not deprive Edward of something he has wanted for so long. He deserves this. And my family would love it too. Edward rolled over again and draped his arms around me, holding me closely to him. I yawned, and he reached across me to turn off the light. I cried silently in the dark. He began to hum my lullaby and I slowly drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

EPOV-

I stretched lazily, and reached for Bella. I sat up abruptly when I realized she wasn't there. I looked around the large room, but didn't see her. I stayed very quiet and tried listening for her rather then getting up and looking for her. After a lot of concentration I could vaguely hear her in Alice's room down the hall.

"I don't know what to do Alice."
"Edward would understand either way…He only wants you to be happy."
"I know that but he has a chance he has never had before…I can not deprive him of that."
"If you're not ready for something like that then you shouldn't be forced into it."
"It's something everyone wants."
"Is it something you want?"
"Yes…and no. I am just not ready to have kids yet, I'm only eighteen. But Edward is a hundred and ten and he is more then ready."
"You can't always do everything he wants."
"It's not just something he wants though, it's something he finally has the chance for, and something everyone else can be apart of when they never had this chance. This choice is completely up to me, and I can't take this chance away from all of you…especially Edward. I have to do it."

Bella felt like she was being pushed into having kids with me. I only wanted this if it was something we both wanted, not just because it's my chance of a life time. I could live without kids. I have fore a long time. I only really need Bella. I would not force this on her. If she wanted to really be apart of this family, then that's what she would have…I'll go tell Carlisle right now that we want this reversed.

I jumped out of bed, and walked quickly down the hall to Carlisle's office. It was two doors before Alice's, so they wouldn't know I was here. I opened the door and walked in. Carlisle looked up and smiled.

"You're lucky I'm working on this instead of you. If I were human I would be passed out on this desk by now." He chuckled lightly to himself. I smiled falsely.

"How is it coming?"
"It's difficult but I'd give it about a week."
"Have you and Bella decided you want to reverse this?"
"We have…She isn't ready for kids. She was going to…but I overheard her and Alice talking this morning and she's not ready. And I refuse to force this upon her."
"Very well…Then you should be back to normal, including your self control…in about ten days. It will be as if nothing changed."

"You better put a hold on the antidote Carlisle." Bella said angrily as she stepped into the doorway.

"At least for a nine months or so."
"Well I'll make it just in case." He said smiling as he immediately caught on.

I walked into the hallway, towing Bella with me.

"What are you doing?"
"What am I doing? What are you doing?"
"We can not have a child and be vampires…And I refuse to force this on you if your not ready."
"You're not forcing it on me. I may not be ready, but I want to have a child Edward. And as far as the vampire thing goes…well we can talk about that later."

I smiled hugely and hugged her tightly to me. I pulled away and looked at her with a devilish grin. I wanted to get started immediately.
