The next couple of weeks were glorious. There are no other words to describe it. A few days of those two weeks we had to stay in doors or just stick to the woods because it was too sunny for Edward to go around people. These were the moments Edward and I had fought to get. It was perfect, without any time limit, friends/family interruptions or my impending death hanging over us, just us together. As the weekend drew nearer again I knew it was time. Time to become Edward's forever. He knew it too, but he hid his nervousness with activities. Some of these activities were taking a toll on him. He had not been able to hunt to reduce his blood thirst because he refused to leave me alone. I told him repeatedly to go hunt, since the woods where right outside our door but he would kiss me and shake his head. At the end of a great Saturday I knew tonight was the night I needed him to do it. I wasn't impatient but the sooner the better.

"Edward." I said sitting on the bed. He was hanging up his coat and his back was to me. He stiffened. He knew what was coming. He turned slowly to face me. "I'm ready." There I said it. He just stared.

"Bella we-"

"Edward." I interrupted. "I am ready." I repeated. 

"What if I'm not?" He asked trying to put off the inevitable. 

"It is my decision and it has been made. It was made when you kissed me the first time. From that moment on I knew my life would lead me to this." I explained.

"To death?" he tried to keep his voice even.

"To you." I corrected. "How does it work? How are we doing this?"

"Tomorrow-" he begged.

"Now" I said firmly. He stepped closer and got on his knees in front of me.  I knew he would prefer we fought about this, but this wasn't a 'just married' couple fight, this was about my future, our future.

"Carlisle and I discussed it." He waited. I didn't interrupt. "If I suck out a lot of your blood and then bite you, the pain shouldn't last as long, because it is less blood to travel to the heart." I nodded it made sense to me, but what did I know, I was just human.
