I am not the wonderful Stephanie Meyer. I just love writing about her characters. : )

Ok. So this is kind of my own little version of Bella and Edward after Eclipse. The thing is though is that Jacob left a long time ago. Well, not that long. He left when he heard when Bella was supposed to become a vampire. I say "supposed to" because that is also a little something different I did. No proposal YET. I'll explain in the story as I continue, along with other minor things.

Also ( sorry for making you read this) I will try to update frequently but I am in the process of unpacking in a new home so . . . only time will tell. Note: Reviews are fuel. Now . . . Read on! Enjoy!

ooooooo A Little Thought While The Angel Sleeps ooooooooo

Edward lay by Bella on her bed. She was asleep. Edward could hear her heart's steady thumps, her breathing that was required for her fragile, human body. Her thick, auburn hair spread across the pillow and occasionally, her weight would shift. A movement that would cause her lovely voice to be heard and very softly, she would whisper his name.

She was an angel and he was a monster. And yet, Bella loved Edward. Something he could never quite grasp, understand. He often felt guilty for taking such a beautiful creature away from the life she deserved.

But she is not a creature. Edward thought savagely to himself. I am the creature . . . an animal who's taken lives.

As if she could hear his thoughts, Bella shifted her weight torwards him and frowned in her sleep. "Edward." Her voice held a tone of warning.

Edward chuckled and hugged Bella to him. He kissed her lightly on the forehead. I am the luckiest being on this Earth.

And very softly, he started to hum Bella's lullaby as he held her in his arms.

ooooooooOOOOooooooooo

Bella woke up feeling cold arms around her body. She smiled and looked up at, what she called, her personal miracle. "Good morning." She yawned.

Edward smiled. "Good morning to you too." He pulled his arms back as Bella started to sit up, allowing her to stretch.

Bella frowned as she raised her hands over head, her back cracking as she did so. "I wasn't finished with you yet." She pouted and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Edward laughed and bent his head down to kiss her. Bella's heart sped up and her breathing became uneven. Edward smiled against her lips and worked his way down to her throat. "I'm surprised. Normally you have to have your 'human' moment before you even think about letting me kiss you."

Bella just nodded, tightening her arms around him.

"Not that I'm complaining." Edward assured wiping Bella's hair off her shoulder, tracing his lips lightly across her collarbones making Bella shiver.

He smiled. Edward would never tire of knowing what effect he had on Bella . . . it was quite enjoyable. She had no idea that the effect she had on him was ten times greater.

Edward raised his lips to her jaw, dragged them to the hallow underneath her ear and waited for Bella's breathing to return normal. Five minutes later and still no improvement. Edward sighed and moved himself to the end of Bella's bed.

Bella's eyes were closed as she tried to get herself back together. When her heart finally resumed its regular beat and she was able to breathe properly, she looked at Edward.

"Are you ok now?" He was staring back at her with a mocking grin but his eyes were worried.

Bella had once informed him on the spontaneous combustion that would overtake her. He didn't want her to reach her limit again . . . even if he was reaching his. Edward didn't know how much control he would have if Bella decided to push his limits a little farther. He wanted to make love to Bella as much as she wanted to but the self control . . .

The frustration he had with himself was constant. If only there was a way for me to that intimate with Bella without hurting her. Killing her.

Bella often tried to persuade him otherwise, that he could do no harm to whom he loves, but he was not so sure. The monster inside him could be quite a nuisance. Edward watched Bella's shoulders slump and her head droop.

"Sorry." She whispered turning the loveliest shade of pink.

It pained Edward to see Bella blame herself for his own problems. He'd watched her try so hard to make things easier for him– this only made him love her more. Edward got up and kneeled on his knees on the floor beside Bella, pulling her chin to look at him.

"It's not your fault, love. I know you think I'm just some beautiful vampire–" Edward wiggled his eyebrows and grinned cocky, causing Bella to giggle, breaking the tension. "– with bizarre morals, but I really don't want to put you in danger." Edward's face suddenly became serious.

Bella stared at him getting lost in his eyes for a moment before sighing. "You, Mr. Cullen, are not just some vampire." She got off her bed causing Edward to stand with her. Bella didn't want to argue with him about his 'morals' right now. "Do you honestly think I would fall with just some vampire?" Bella was teasing now.

Edward grinned, happy she wasn't blaming herself for his actions. "Well, I would certainly hope not." He leaned down to kiss her on the lips but Bella turned her head so that he got her cheek instead. Edward frowned.

Bella laughed at his expression and explained. "I need a human moment before we continue."

Edward gave a dramatic sigh and fell onto her bed, his hands behind his head and feet crossed. "If you insist."

Again Bella laughed and grabbed her clothes, making her way to the bathroom. The hot shower slowly calmed her and undid the muscles in her back. But then her thoughts started getting carried away as she thought of Edward's lips on her throat. Edward in her room was normal, but with Edward in her room and so close to the bathroom door . . . as she was taking a shower . . .

Bella pulled her head around the shower curtain and saw that she left the door unlocked. This did nothing for her imaginative thoughts at the moment.

Such easy access. She thought. Just open the door, walk three steps, pull the curtain back and–

Agh! Bella washed her hair, blushing furiously and focused on not hyperventilating. When she was sure she wouldn't do anything rash to Edward as soon as she stepped out of the shower, she got out and wrapped the towel around herself. Bella dressed herself in the bathroom; a blue shirt with jeans and sneakers. Nothing special, just the color of her shirt in contrast with her skin to drive Edward crazy. Apparently to Edward, blue was a wonderful color on Bella.

She smiled to herself and brushed her teeth, brushing her damp hair after. She walked out of the bathroom and was about to throw her towel in the laundry when she felt cool arms wrap around her waist.

Edward lowered his lips to her ear, causing a pleasurable shiver by Bella. "Where to you think you're going?" His velvet voice was low and, unintentionally, seductive.

Bella closed her eyes, leaning her head back on his shoulder and let herself get lost in his voice. It's amazing the effect he has on me. She thought, a small smile playing on her lips.

"Just going to throw this in the laundry." She whispered after a moment, all coherent thoughts abandoned.

"Ah." Edward spoke then quickly picked Bella up in his arms and hurried down the stairs. He grabbed the towel from her and returned to Bella in less than two seconds. "What would you like to do now?"

Bella was still recovering from Edward's quick movements and sat down on the kitchen chair. "How about we go see your family."

Edward smiled. "They're your family now too you know."

Bella blushed and looked down sadly. "Not all of them." She was speaking of Rosalie Edward knew. Rosalie and Bella had somewhat established their relationship and Rosalie was kinder now, but it was still kind of . . . "iffy" as the best description.

Edward lifted Bella's chin. "She's coming around and she's still family." He waited until Bella nodded. "Before we leave, you'll need to eat something."

Edward watched Bella get up and get her breakfast. Perhaps he watched longer than he should because all he could focus on for those few moments was her body. Bella was wearing a shirt his favorite color. It hung loose until it reached her chest where the material slightly pulled. She turned around to get a bowl so that her back was to him. Damn it.

But he found the view from this angle promising too. Edward's eyes strayed from her back to her hips and then to her legs, making a daylong journey to her feet. Bella turned back around and moved to the other side of the kitchen, searching for a spoon. Edward closed his eyes and shook his head, trying, unsuccessfully, to focus his thoughts on less important things.

Bella sat down across from him, finally, and started to eat her cereal. "Edward?" Her voice was soft and hesitant.

He opened his eyes and found Bella staring at him with an odd expression, her spoon halfway to her mouth. "Yes, love?"

"Are you ok?" She looked worried and Edward realized he must have had a tortured look on his face from the refocusing he was desperately trying to do.

"I'm fine, Bella."

Bella watched him grin impishly and nod. Satisfied, she continued eating, thinking of not so innocent thoughts of the love of her life. Little did she know, the love of her life was doing the same.
