Eternity Is Mine

Chapter Nine

Authors Note: I DONT OWN TWILIGHT!!!!!!

Bella POV

   Edward ate the wretched cereal quickly and happily. He wore just jeans and a button down shirt that wasn't tucked in. His hair was still messy but I liked it that way. I adored him. He was sweet, considerate, thoughtful, hardworking, and passionate. My type of man. Eww, Emmetts been rubbing off on me.

   "Ready, love?" Edward asked. I nodded. I was wearing a blood red silk shirt and blue jeans. My Uggs were new as Alice got them for me last week.

   "Can we take my Volvo? That damn thing you call a car-" I started but Edward cut me off. "Oh hush Bella, stupid Volvo owning vampire. My car is the new awesome."

   "You mean the new "Make vampires mentally puke at the sight of it"? Yeah you are so right about that." Edward rolled his eyes but walked out the front door. I got in the drivers seat. Edward protested but I shushed him. "My car, my rules."

   Edward reluctantly got into the passenger seat and we were on our way. I decided to tell him about my gift. "I can read minds," I said suddenly, causing Edward to jump. "But not yours. I don't know why, I can't hear your thoughts." Edward sighed, relieved. I wished I knew what he was thinking. 

   "Is something wrong with my brain?" he asked, worried again. I chuckled. "I hear voices in my head, and you think you've got problems. Please, Edward, that's just plain stupid," I told my boyfriend. "Can all vampires read minds?" I shook my head. "No, that's just me. But my sister, ALice, can see the future. Its not always set in stone, because if you change your mind, the entire future shifts. My brother, Jasper, can feel people's emotions and change them. Say I was feeling upset, he'd make me feel happy for a while," I explained. Then Edward noticed how fast we were going.

   "Holy shit, Bella, slow down!" he yelled. I glanced at him, puzzled. "Keep your eyes on the road!" he shouted. I sighed, and lowered my speed to eighty. "I hate driving slow." Edward was incredulous. "This is slow?" 

   FInally, we made it back to my house. Edward took a moment lingering, because the scenery was so beautiful. Like a gentleman, he held the door to my house open for me. I kissed him on the cheek. He smiled and we walked inside. 

   "Welcome! My name is Esme, Bella's mother, and this is my husband, Carlisle," Esme said, gesturing to my "father". I smiled. You really like him, don't you? Just be careful, baby girl, Carlisle thought. I nodded, a warmer expression growing on my face. Edward grinned. "Pleased to meet you, Mrs. Cullen," he said. What a gentleman, Esme thought. "Please, call me Esme, dear," she said, embracing him. I heard Edward shudder. 

   Edward looked to my grand piano. Esme noticed and said, "Do you play?" "No, its just beautiful. Who plays?" Why didn't you tell him? Esme asked in her head. I shrugged. "I do," I told him. He rolled his eyes. "What can't you do?" he said, annoyed. I laughed grimly. "Become human." 

   Carlisle groaned. "Edward, may I speak with you for a moment?" His eyes glazed over as he nodded his head. Edward and Carlisle strode away. Esme hugged me. Bella, don't listen. This is probably important, Esme thought. I sighed. "I know."

Carlisle's POV

   I led Edward to my office and when we arrived, we both sat down. Edward leaned in and shook my hand. "Dr. Cullen, I-" I stopped him. "Call me Carlisle, son," I told him. Edward nodded.

   "Edward, you have brought life to my little girl. She is the oldest vampire besides me in this family, and before we moved here, she was depressed. Every time she's come home after seeing you, she's been smiling. Bella adores you. She'd die to ensure your safety. So I want to say thank you. Secondly, I have advice. Bella came to me nights ago about you. She's afraid for you, son. See, she told me that your blood sung for her. La tua cantante. And well, Bella hates herself. Please try and tell her how strong she is to fight against your blood and what an amazing girl she is," I explained. Edward sat in awe. "Bella truly loves you," I said. "I know. I love her too," he said. Just then, Bella burst into the room. 

   "Carlisle, he needs to meet the others!" she shrieked. Bella tugged him out of the office and down the hall. I chuckled, shook my head, and met with my lovely wife. 

   "He's changed her," Esme whispered. I nodded, my happy smile lingering. Now my family was complete. Bella found her mate after ninety years. I kissed Esme, and we moved to the couch to watch Romeo and Juliet. The story of my little Bella's life. 

Edward's POV

   Bella dragged me playfully down to Alice and Jasper's bedroom. I pondered over what Carlisle told me. It hurt to know that being around Bella caused her pain. But I knew she would go through pain just to be with me. Carlisle had said so. 

   The home wasn't like I'd thought. It was light and open, no coffins, no cobwebs, and no bone cages. I shuddered mentally at that. Bella herself bounced more happily here. it was the one place she didn't have to hide. We turned into Alice and Jasper's room. 

   Alice sat on the bed, her eyes glossy. Jasper knelt in front of her. His face was calm, but Alice's was scrunced up. "Alice, we've got a guest here!" Jasper said. Alice suddenly disappeared from her spot on the bed, and was instantly in front of me, hugging me. "Hi Edward, I'm Alice, call me Alice. This is Jasper, but we call him Jazz," she said, jumping around like a pixie. Jasper stuck his tongue out. "No, only you and Bellsy call me that," he corrected, exasperated, ruffling Bella's hair. We bumped fists. "Watch after my little sis, Eddie," he warned. I hissed. "Ooh, Eddie no like Eddie," Jasper teased, grinning. We all rolled our eyes. Just then, Bella snarled. "Shut it, Rose."

   Jasper and Alice laughed, but I, however, heard nothing. Damn vampire hearing. Bella and I made our way down one door to meet Rosalie and Emmett in their room. Emmett was playing a video game and Rosalie was brushing her long blond hair. It was pretty, but I liked Bella's hair better. 

   Emmett and Rosalie stopped what they were doing and both stood, grinning at me. Bella settled her petite body into my side. We walked up to them. Emmett and I bumped fists, like Jasper did with me. Rosalie kissed my cheek. "Hey, we've heard so much about how hot you are. Bells, you got good taste in se-" Bella kicked Rosalie in the shin. "If I had a dollar every time you said something completely idiotic, i'd be so rich, I could pay a werewolf to listen to my every order," Bella said, obviously kidding. I laughed and bent down to give her a quick kiss. 

   Once back downstairs, Bella sat me down on the couch. She plopped down next to me, her cold hands rested in my warm ones. I sighed, delighted, and kissed her hand. "Isabella Cullen, I love you more than my own life," I said. Bella giggled. "And I you, Edward Masen. I you."

Like it, hate it, let me know how it was. Bella is...a mind reader, but strangely, she can't read Edward's mind. Sound familiar? Comment, vote, fan!!!!!!!!!!!
