What If Edward called?

A/N: So, yet another chapter that took forever to get out. I can only put this one on my own laziness. Sorry, . This story is nearing the end (have I already said that?), which is sad, but me and a friend are coming up with a Twilight, real life cross over. It's a lot like a crackfic, but only because we were hyper when we came up with it, and when we started writing it.

I watched as the black cars came slowly up the driveway. I swallowed. Oddly, I wasn't afraid. Nervous, maybe, but not afraid. If anything, I felt a little sad. No, I silently lamented. Not when I just got him back! As if he could read my mind, Edward pulled me into his arms. "It will be all right," he murmured. "I wouldn't let it happen any other way." I smiled sadly to myself. He didn't have any control over what happens now.

"I love you, Edward." I said. I felt calmer as we faced the door again. I had the proof I needed, the proof that he would stay. He had asked me to marry him, as ridiculous as that sounds. Since he was so old fashioned, it meant that he really wanted me.

"I love you too." He said, kissing the top of my head. I trusted Alice too much to think about saying goodbye, so I just squeezed his hand as Carlisle opened the front door. Three vampires dressed in black cloaks stepped through the door. Two were tall, and the third was really small, almost childlike. Their hoods were up, so I couldn't see their faces, but I knew the moment they smelled me.

They all stiffened at the same time, and the tallest one's hood turned to swing my direction. The leader, the only one in the darkest cloak, otherwise ignored my presence as he stepped forward and shook Carlisle's hand. "It's nice to see you, old friend. I hope you don't mind my sudden visit." His eyes roamed the room, stopping on me. I shrunk back against Edward under the onslaught of his red gaze. He gently squeezed my hand.

"Not at all, Aro. It's always nice to see an old friend." Carlisle replied, and introduced the others. I noticed that he left me out, and Edward and Jasper had moved slightly so that they were blocking me from view.

He swung back to Carlisle. "Why is there a human here?" Carlisle placed a calming hand on Aro, and gave Jasper a look. Instantly the room was filled with a calming aura. My nerves disappeared, even though I could remember my reasons for them.

"She's part of our family now. This is Bella, Edward's girlfriend. She was visiting when you showed up. If you'd like, Edward could drive her home." I silently urged Aro to agree. The tension flying around from everyone was thick enough to cut. I noticed that Jasper was having a worse time; his entire frame was tense. I tried to relax; after all, he was feeling everyone else's stress on top of his own. He glanced back and threw a quick smile at me.

"She knows what we are, so she must stay. I must say I am surprised," he added. "I didn't think you would break the rules Carlisle." The taller vampire, standing behind Aro like a bodyguard, turned so that we could see his face. He mouthed the word 'dibs' to the vampire beside him, and grinned when Edward growled slightly. The phone rang suddenly, startling everyone. Carlisle excused himself to go and answer it. Silence ensued.

"That was the hospital." He said for my benefit. "They need me to clear up an emergency." His eyes told me what he didn't want to say out loud. I knew he wanted to stay here and help me. I smiled at him and waved. Once he left, the tense silence ensued. Suddenly Edward growled and launched himself at Aro. I gasped, but before he even got close he was on the ground, silently grimacing in pain.

I looked around, and noticed the child-sized vampire had thrown her hood back and was smiling at Edward. I could figure out what her talent was, easily. "Leave him alone!" I shouted as I knelt down and placed a hand on Edward's shoulder. His eyes opened, and looked at me in silent horror. I looked up to notice that the childish one had switched her gaze to me, though she was no longer smiling.

Suddenly Aro began to laugh. "Relax, Jane. I'm really not offended. That was interesting. I wonder what will happen if I try. Bella, would you mind?" I glanced at Edward, who barely nodded, and stepped forward. I knew that for all his politeness about it, I didn't have much of a choice. I took the hand he held out, and waited. We stood there for what felt like hours, but was probably only minutes, and then he started laughing again. "How odd. You show such promise, Bella. If only we didn't have to kill you." He added sadly, letting go and drifting back slightly.

I walked quickly back to Edward's side, wondering what I had missed out on. He smiled at me before he turned back to Aro. "Actually, Bella has offered to change." The look of shock that registered on Aro's face somehow looked out of place, like he wasn't generally shocked. "If she were to change, there would be no need to kill her, since a human would no longer know our secret."

I didn't miss the look of greed that flew across his face. The room was once again silent as he mused over the idea. He smiled. "Well, that would be an excellent plan, if I knew you would keep your word." Alice skipped forward and offered him her hand. I realized that he was reading her thoughts when he stepped back. "I see. Well, then, it looks like the vampire world will be gaining a new member. Just don't wait too long, I have little patience."

Jane glared at me, and then walked out of the door at Aro's signal. When he reached the door, he glanced back. "Tell Carlisle that though I wish we could have spent more time together, I must be getting back. We have a holiday coming up that I would hate to miss. It was nice meeting you Bella. I hope we see each other again under less stressful circumstances." He added. Then he was gone, and everyone relaxed. Jasper went up to his library, Rosalie and Emmet ran off to watch television, and Alice kidnapped me to continue the torture. Edward went along, a thoughtful expression on his face.

A/N: So, basically, the story continues from there just like the book. Just without any mention of Italy. This fic has been really fun to write, and I enjoyed reading your comments.  However, all good things must come to an end, and so this story is finally complete. I know it's really short. My buddy and I are also writing an Hp/real life cross over, so look out for it too. Thanks for putting up with my lazy ways, and staying fans.
