CHAPTER 1: PROPOSAL
It has been 6 years to the day since I was changed into a vampire, 6 years since I became a mother to the most precious little girl in the world, 6 years since I joined the family I had longed to truly be a part of, and, 6 years since I realised I would never have to be apart from my precious Edward ever again. The novelty never wore off, every day felt like I was in some kind of surreal dream, and I was sure Charlie was going to walk into my bedroom and shake me awake at any time. Surely it goes against nature to be this happy? But the truth was this is my reality, and its going to remain my reality, forever. Though to me, it still felt like forever wasn't long enough.
"Bella?" came that beautiful velvet voice I had loved for so long "Bella?"
"Uh, Yeah, sorry, guess I was away with my thoughts just then" he smiled me my faviourite crooked grin before continuing,
"What are you thinking about?" he asked, clearly intrigued by what could be causing me to be so unresponsive,
"Oh, just everything" I replied, still in a daze
"Everything?" he responded, cocking his head to one side "i called you 4 times, I thought something was wrong" I couldnt help but smile at this, typical edward to think something was wrong, he worries too much,
"Wrong? How could anything be wrong? Look at us, we have everything we could have ever asked for and more, nothing's ever been more right"
"Yes, of course, you're right" and with that he pulled me closer to him, I looked around our room and yet again took in everything, if I was still human I think I would be dying from lack of breathing at the sight before me, another thing I never got used to, the crystal white walls, the memory wall, with photos of all of us, mainly renesmee, but thats because she changes so quickly and we dont want to miss a thing, The poster bed we were currently laying on, draped in gold fabric, facing a wall of glass over looking our own private river. What sight could possibly be more beautiful? I was about to tell edward this when we got cut of by a shrill shreek from downstairs, we both laughed and looked at each other,
"Alice" we said together, followed by an "oh no" from Edward, who hung his head in his hands as if he was going to cry, a millisecond later the bedroom door flew open.
"Edward Cullen, You are SUCH a romantic, Bella, what did you say? I didnt hear your answer so . . . OH" she trailed off, her mouth hanging open "my bad, you didnt ask her yet did you?" her questioned directed at Edward,
"Ask me what?" I exclaimed, totally in shock, what on earth could have gotten alice this worked up? Other than shopping of course, but I cant see how shopping could be called 'romantic'
"No, Alice, I didnt get round to it, maybe in future you should learn to be patient? He answered through gritted teeth, he'd leant away from me by now and was pinching the bridge of this nose, like he always does when something goes wrong.
"Sorry, again, I'm just gonna go now, bye" and with that she flitted out the door faster than I could have believed possible letting the door slam shut behind her, which was followed by "I am soooo sorry Edward, Don't kill me, please, and Bella, Say Yes!"
"What. On. Earth. Was. That. About?" I asked, sitting bolt upright on the bed, now I was worried,
"Well, I was going to do this properly, but seeing as alice" he flinched "ruined the suprise, I guess i'll just have to come out with it"
"Edward, what are you talking about?" with that he flew across the room, into the closet, and back again in under a second.
"Isabella Marie Swan Cullen" he began getting down on one knee, holding out a petite jewellery box, whixh upon closer inspection I realised contained a diamond encrusted ring "Will you do me the amazing honour, of marrying me?" he said before adding "again" with a huge smile.
Im so glad I am not human right now, if I were my face would be as red as a lobster from blushing, marry him? Again? Well, that was unexpected. But then I was filled with so much joy I couldnt help myself from grinning
"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen" I began "I couldnt think of anything better than to become your wife, again" and with that he leapt across the room and pinned me to the bed, laughing.
"really?" he asked, looking surprised
"yes, really" I laughed "why are you so surprised?" already knowing the answer before the question had finished leaving my mouth
"Well, last time it took you forever to say yes, I really didnt think you'd agree, not so soon anyway"
I could tell he was having a hard job keeping the grin off his face.
"Last time was different, I was human, I didn't..." but yet again, I got cut off by alices squealing, I kissed him again, this time pinning him to the bed, I heard the door fling open but paid no attention to it, this was nothing Alice hadn't seen before, she shouldn't walk in without knocking,
"AHEM!" I heard someone cough, ugh, Emmett, what did he want? I slowly pulled myself away from my husband to look at the door, where Emmett, Rose, Alice, Jasper, Jacob, Carlisle and Esme all stood, Alice was jumping up and down like a kid in a toy shop, Jasper had hold of her shoulders, trying to keep her stood still,but with no luck, Carlisle and Esme had the proudest look on there faces, Jacob looked like he was going to die of shock, probably from the scene he had found himself, pressumably dragged into, Rose was looking at her feet, trying her hardest not to intrude I suppose and Emmett was stood there looking from me to Edward trying not to laugh.
"THIS IS SO GREAT WE NEED A GOOD PARTY, DONT WORRY BELLA, I WILL THROW YOU THE BEST WEDDING EVER!" Alice shouted, running over to the bed and jumping to sit at my feet
"Alice" I hissed "Nessies asleep"
"Ooops, Sorry" she whispered back, struggling to contain her excitement
"Oh, too late" Edward mumbled, more to me than anyone else, though I was certain everyone heard it.
"Alice, I could kill you sometimes" I muttered jokingly, and with tthat Renesmee stumbled into the room still half asleep,
"Momma, whats going on? I heard shouting?" she asked, looking worried,
"Nothing baby, its ok, go back to bed, we'll talk in the morning" I answered scooting off the bed to stroke her face comfortingly
"No" she began, ratherly bluntly "I want to know what's wrong"
"Nothings wrong Ness" Jacob answered for me " Your mom just had some news and your Aunt Alice, forgot you was sleeping thats all, now come on lets get you back to bed, its 3am" he finished gently grasping her arm in order to guide her back to her room,
"I'm NOT going back to bed" she ordered, shrugging jakes hand off her and crossing her arms stubbornly over her chest,
"She definitely got your stubborness" edward quickly whispered in my ear, I grinned
"Not until you tell me what's wrong?" my daughter continued,
"NESSIE!" alice began before being cut off by Edward hissing something about keeping the noise down. "OH SHES AWAKE NOW ITS OK, NESS, YOUR MOM AND DAD..."
"Alice!" my turn to hiss now, if anyone was gonna tell my little girl this it would be me.
"...have something they want to tell you" Alice finished, looking rather glum, obviously picking up on the fact I wanted to do this myself, and with that Nessie turned her head and looked between me and edward expectantly.
"Me and your Mom" Edward began, wrapping his arm around me, still insanely grinning,
"WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!" I finished for him, Nessie's hand's dropped to her side's and a huge grin spread across her face
"Really?" she began, I laughed quietly to myself, "Like, again?" she asked
"Yes, sweetheart" Edward answered, I looked at him amazed that he was still grinning from ear to ear, and snuggled into his chest.
"WOW!" was the only response we got.
"I KNOW HOW AMAZING IS THIS NESS? WE GET TO PLAN A WHOLE WEDDING FOR THEM" Alice interrupted, now bouncing up and down again on the bed, nessie ran and leapt up on to the bed and straight into mine and edwards embrace. I felt something wet on my shoulder,
"Renesmee Carlie Cullen" I began "are you crying?"
"Yes, Im just so happy Momma"
"I'm happy too baby, im happy too"
