" Emma ?"

The first thing Emma saw when she awakened was the ceiling. She turned her head and realized how she saw everything. When she stared to the painting hanging on the light wall, she could see every brush stroke and lining to it. When she turned to the corner of the room, she could detect a baby spider making a web and knitting it together. She sat up rather hastily astonishing herself and stared to her hand.

They were frigid, non-bony, and pale. She rubbed her fingers together finding no warmth. Something moved next to her and she snapped her head over, but was pleased at the sight. So was Edward. He looked over to his beautiful wife to see she was stunning then she ever was before if it was even possible. Her dyed light brown hair had turned to her birth color, a nice deep dark brown that could be mistaken for red, had more life to it.

Her once hallowed cheeks were full and with life. He held his hand out for her to take ready to feel her once again and be whole. Emma, not knowing her speed, was in front of him in a second and looked down to his hand. She touched his hand and grazed it up his arm with a smile on her face. He wasn't cold. She felt like she was touching a normal hand. His other hand moved to her cheek and she looked at him. He prepared day and night to see that her greenish eyes would be gone, but nothing prepared him. He was staring into crimson eyes, but he recollected, it was still the old Emma.

" So beautiful. We're the same temperature now." He said and she seemed confused.

It actually astonished him that she had forgotten or had not figured out what had happened to her yet. He laced his hands with her and took her to the mirror. Nonetheless, Emma was alarmed and memories flooded into her head about the labor and birth of her children. She couldn't believe what she was looking at. Almost like the mirror was lying to her. Her natural hair color from birth was back, but better then it ever was with a wavy look and long.

Her face much slim, pale, and captivating. Her body was slim in all the right places compared to being the bags of bones she was six days ago. What she stared at more was her eyes. It was crimson, not her normal greenish. She panicked at first, but remembered that they would soon be amber like the rest of the family. A smile played on her face and she turned giving Edward a hug out of joy.

" Emma, you're a lot stronger than I am right now." He choked out. She quickly released him looking uncomfortable, but he laughed holding her closer." It's your turn not to break me."

" Now who's the fragile one?" She teased.

" I love you so much, Emma." He said leaned down to kiss her.

She smiled while they kissed seeing how enthusiastic he was to attack her lips and how she no longer felt cold when they kissed. It felt right and better then it was before. She smiled, but it dropped replaced with an even bigger one.

" Serenity and Hope."

" They're incredible."

" Where are they ? Are they okay ?"  Emma said with the big smile, but before she could run off, Edward grabbed and stopped her.

She turned a bit hurt, but he looked at her apologetically. He felt terrible for interrupting her from seeing the kids after all the heavy work she went through to get them here.

" Wait. Wait. You need to get your thirst under control."

It wasn't till he said it that Emma felt the burning in her throat. She didn't like it one bit. She placed her hand on her throat and looked at him for help.

He nodded his head understanding." Yeah, you'll need to hunt."

Just like that Edward and her took off for their very first hunt. Edward stared at his wife amazed seeing how quick she was going. It was even faster than him. Emma on the other hand just stared at everything around her. She saw a flower bloom, a squirrel sleeping, the woods flying by. She didn't know what she was missing out on. She looked down at her feet seeing how fast they were moving and how she did not trip yet.

Edward caught up to her and she laughed before grabbing his hand and jumping from the edge of the cliff to the bottom of a river very smoothly. Rush. That was the word she could describe it. The rush and feeling of being dangerous made her laugh loudly. Edward stopped running and turned catching her right on time.

" Woah there !"

" Why did we stop ?" She giggled.

" Close your eyes." He said and she did while he moved her around." What do you hear ?"

She listened in hearing almost everything, but she focused. She first heard an owl, but moved on not liking the idea of a hunt that could fly away from her. The next thing she heard was a squirrel, but the disgusting thought of roadkill made her change her mind. When she heard a deer, she opened her eyes and ran over. Edward ran to see she was on a rock looking at the deer ready to pounce.

She turned to Edward, hungry and ready. He nodded his head excited to see what she was going to do. Right when she was ready to, she smelled a human and it was harder to breathe. Her throat burned like a fire and she cringed. She could smell his blood from here and it made it worst when he cut his knee. Emma felt his pulse and all she wanted to do was drink the human dry.

" Emma, don't !"

" I'm not !" She yelled back and collapsed onto the rock.

Edward was shocked. There was a human not to far and she was not going to pounce on him. The first thing that came to her mind was four people. Serenity, Hope, Leo, and Bella. She loved them dearly and if she wanted to see them, she had to learn self-control.

" Self-control." She whispered to herself.

Emma gave attention to the sound of growling and looked back up discerning a bear was about to take her food. When the bear was about to pounce Emma did first tackling the bear. For a split second, Edward was ready to scream at the top of his lungs and save her, but he quickly remembered. She was not the fragile little human she was before. She was a strong vampire that could demolish a tank if she wanted to. Emma tackled the bear and laughed before sinking her teeth into it and cleaning it dry. When she was done, she turned only to see Edward staring at her stun.

" What ? Did I do something wrong ?" She asked, but Edward only came up to her and kissed her long and hard. She broke the kiss stunned only to see he was chuckling.

" Honey, you got an A plus today."
