Ma Bell Amie

A quick recap of what's happened in Edward's life since the letter was sent.

"Bella…" Carlisle warned and urged at the same time. She finally looked to him, having apparently made her decision. She nodded once before turning back to me.

"Edward," Bella started as she crouched down beside me. "Edward, look at me." Her hand came to stroke my cheek as I fought to keep my eyes open. I involuntarily let out a whimper as I tried to suppress the cry of pain I wanted to voice. "If you had the chance, Edward, to live… would you take it? No matter the consequences?" she asked quickly.

My eyebrows furrowed as my brain tried to take in this question. Of course I would; was it even necessary to ask? If it meant being able to live… and possibly having the chance to stay with Bella, why wouldn't I take it? "Yes." I put so much emphasis on that one word. It was crucial. And apparently it was what Bella had wanted to hear, though her words told me otherwise.

"I'm sorry," she whispered. She leaned in as if to kiss me until her icy lips grazed my neck. A sharp prick pierced my skin but it had nothing on the pain I was still feeling in my abdomen.

And then that pain was washed away to be replaced with an entirely new feeling of agony. Fire coursed through my system as if it were my own blood. I let out what could only have been a scream as the fire engulfed me, burning the skin off my bones. I looked to Bella in confusion. What is going on?

She gave me a weak, sad smile. "I love you," she whispered in my ear and that was enough for me. I wanted to say it back but the fire was too overwhelming. Nothing would leave my mouth except groans and screams.

I was aware of Bella's grip on my hand, the only reassurance that I was indeed still alive. That and her sweet voice were the only two things giving me any hope as I gave in to the never-ending fire devouring me.

And Now We Get To The Actual Update. Enjoy!

I lay there for ages, not knowing what time it was, not even what day, slowly becoming accustomed to the wreathing pain that was inside my every vein and nerve. The only thing that assured me of the passing of time and my state of consciousness was the feeling of my Bella's ice cold but slowly warming hand in my own and the voices that surrounded me whenever Carlisle would enter the room like he had just done.

"Carlisle, how much longer 'till all this is over?", asked a worried and considerably frightened Bella from my bedside.

"Not long now Bella, he has been here two and a half days now, it won't be long. It only took you three days and I think about the same for me when I changed." Answered the man, "Look at how well he is looking, his complexion has paled quite considerably and I am sure if we could see his eyes, they would be turning to a nice deep shade of crimson."

"So not that long now and Edward will be with us forever?" She asked

"No Bells, Not too long now." He replied sounding quite relieved before leaving the room.

I suddenly felt as though the firing flames which were coursing through my veins were slowly and ever so slightly, starting to recede. I thought of how happy my Bella, my love would be to see me happy and healthy again and that brought on an all new ray of hope.

About Five hours past this time.

The Fire was already almost gone by now, it has slowly made its way back up my arms and legs though the one thing that frightened me the most was that those flames that had scorched and burned my every vein for the past seventy hours were speeding up and making their way to the one place in my body where the heat was not diming but intensifying and indeed searing my insides was my heart. The pain was heightening by the second, along that is, with my heart-rate. That was when I heard it, my angel's anguished cry for her father's help

"Carlisle!? Carlisle, come quick! Something's happening and I have no idea what it is!" she cried and the footsteps of the doctor came rushing up a set of stairs and down a corridor at an inhuman speed. That was when I realised that I was no longer at the hospital, I was at a house, I had no idea how but I was there. Suddenly my head was finally released from the wrath of the flames and I was able to move my mouth, think clearly and possibly even talk. "Carlisle, make Bella's pain go away! If she is hurt in any way, emotionally or physically, I have no idea what I would do! I cried to the perfect stranger. "Oh and Carlisle, do you think that I could possibly have some opium or something to ease this unbearable heartburn?" I added, trying desperately to make a joke out of this situation and my burning pain, which made Bella crack a smile and Carlisle chuckle softly. It was then that I also realised how musical and almost godlike my voice sounded.

"Sorry Edward but you already have forty times the doses of opium and morphine that I would give to an amputee patient to completely knock him out. I can't give you any more. And on the note of my daughter's pain, I think that you just extinguished it completely!" He stated and sat in a chair in the corner of the room. My heart started to accelerate at a rapid rate and felt as though it would make a break for it through my ribcage whilst my lungs and throat were being charred more and more as the seconds went by. All the while Bella sat there on the side of my bed, just watching me, waiting for my pain to no longer immerse my body, her now normal hand, sitting there in mine, reassuring me that she was not leaving and that I was not dying.

"I love you Edward and I am so sorry!" she sobbed but I realised that no tears left or even welled in her eyes.

"It's okay my love, we will be together and happy for..." It was then that I realised that I had no idea how long I had to live. "How long do we have Carlisle?" I asked the man.

"Eternity and beyond Edward, forever and ever till the complete destruction of the earth." He replied honestly and gracefully.

"Eternity it is then!" I replied and Bella laughed. My heart was now drumming in my ears and I had no idea if it was just me or if Bella could hear it too.

"Not long at all now you two", said a slightly relieved Carlisle "Bella, can you hear how his heart is getting faster and louder? That is it turning the last of the blood in his coronary veins into the venom that flows through yours. After that, Edward will be one of us and will no longer be subject to pain or death." He clarified.

"If I can't die, then what will I become? Because, by the sound of things, my heart is getting ever so close to its final beat." I asked

"A... Edward, you'll become a ...," Bella started and then dropped her voice to a whisper "... vampire".

"Wow that is so..." I paused and the two vampires in front of me froze, almost as though they were scared of my answer, "...Awesome!" They both let out a massive sigh and Bella started giggling "Just a question, do I have to drink human blood or anything because that is kind of gross" I asked Carlisle

"Not if you don't want to, Bella and I don't and that is how we can be around humans so easily without exposing our secret to any unsuspecting humans and have to hide from the Volturi who are like vampire 'royalty'" He answered and I realised that I was suddenly extremely tired.

"I suddenly feel completely exhausted; could I sleep for a bit Carlisle?" I asked and he obliged saying that it was probably best that I was asleep when I 'passed' because that would mean that I would store as many of my human memories as possible and that it would help with the overall process.

A half hour later.

"Carlisle, Carlisle look!" I cried as I saw Edward's face pale even further and then softly glisten in the sunlight that was now streaming through the room and his hair go and even more captivating vision of bronze than it already was.

"Bella, do you hear that? His heart is beating for the final time. Edward may be a bit disorientated when he awakens so try not to jump on him the instant he wakes up okay, give him some time. Also, he will be quite strong when he awakens and that will go on for about three to six months. Mine was six and yours three so he will probably be in between there somewhere." Carlisle cautioned as I sat there on the side of Edward's Bed, his hand now a normal temperature in my own as I waited for him to re-awaken from his 'sleep'.

I lay there, thinking. What is going to happen? I could hear my Bella whispering as she counted down from thirty and then as she got to twenty-one, I felt pain course through my body as my limbs were rendered useless and I was thrashed around on the bed by the force of the convulsions that were streaming through my body and threatening to cause me serious injury. I got to her count of one and that was it; that was when I completely lost consciousness.

I woke what felt like a week later and opened my eyes suddenly when I realised that my heart was no longer thudding as hard as it could, threatening to break through my ribcage and escape to the outside world, and saw the beautiful eyes of my angel looking back at me, shock and adoration in her eyes as she gazed at my features in awe. I sat up a bit too fast and expected to see the world rush past me in an unrecognisable blur but I could see every single miniscule detail in the large mahogany room which I thought was probably situated in Carlisle and Bella's house. I could see every dust particle in the air, every grain in the mahogany walls and bookcases in the room and every atom of the true and magnificent beauty of my angel, My Bella.

"Bella, My Bella is that truly you?"I asked my angel and she recoiled as I did when we both heard my voice.

"Edward, Your voice, it sounds as though it were made of velvet, and your eyes, they are the most wondrous shade of golden amber!" My angel gasped and then continued on about my hair and how beautiful the bronze of it was. By now I was on my feet and standing in front of her.

"Bella, do the world a favour and shut that beautiful mouth of yours" I told her and she obliged with a massive smile on her face.

"Bella, My Bella is that truly you?" Edward asked me and then recoiled as I did when we heard his velvety voice resonate through the room.

"Edward, Your voice, it sounds as though it were made of velvet, and your eyes, they are the most wondrous shade of golden amber!" I gasped and then continued with my revelations of his almost godlike demeanour and beauty. By now Edward was on his feet and standing in front of me looking like the true angel I had always seen him as but never revealed.

"Bella, do the world a favour and shut that beautiful mouth of yours" He told me and I happily obliged with a massively goofy smile on my face.

The next thing I knew I was in Edward's arms and he was kissing me with so much passion and avidity that my knees reduced to nothing but jelly, a feeling I had not felt since I was human and I could do nothing but kiss him back with just as much if not more. I finally had my Edward, my Edward who I had waited for over ninety-five years to meet and fall in love with. He was finally here and he was finally mine. I was ecstatic to say the least and I was sure that it was radiating through every atom in my once dead and cold, now dead, cold and in live body.

"You had better be ecstatic my love, and yes, it is radiating off of every inch of you!" Edward giggled and then I looked at him with horror on my face.

"Edward, I didn't say that out loud! You just read my mind and not even Aro of the Volturi can do that, I am a shield see, and that means that nothing can penetrate my mind, not Jane's power of making people think that they are in great pain and that their body is on fire about two-hundred times that of the pain you just went through in tour transformation; or so I've been told, not the powers of any of the other members of the Volturi Guard and definitely not yours!" I explained to him and then it hit me! There had to be holes in my shield! "Carlisle, help!" I cried to my father and he came running.

"What is it Bella? What happened?" He asked sounding quite alarmed at my distress.

"Bella is freaking out because she thinks that there may be holes in her shield" Edward explained calmly for me.

"Bells" Carlisle laughed at me before continuing whilst attempting extremely hard to regain and keep a straight face. "Bella, you put your shield up a couple of days ago because you were worried about the Volturi finding Edward because we didn't know he would be this mature a vampire yet and you haven't removed it yet silly."

"Oh love, what a silly, forgetful one you are. At least we figured out what my power is out of all this." Teased my mate and Carlisle looked instantly intrigued.

"And what would that be Edward?" he asked, enter Dr. Carlisle Cullen, Exit Dad/Off duty Carlisle.

"Mind reading" I answered for him and he smiled at me with that same crooked smile but this time it caused my just recovering knees to go weak again and my frozen heart to feel as though it would be fluttering at a million miles an hour, were it still beating.

"Ah, that is intriguing. Bella, You can drop your shield now if you wish" my father announced and I obliged but before completely diminishing it I asked Edward in my head if he would mind me keeping it up around him so we could still communicate and he just nodded discreetly before pulling me in for another 'heart-stopping' kiss, Carlisle's cue to leave the room.
