EPOV

I watched as my parents take their last breaths lying on the hospital beds along with countless others in the large room and doctors tending to patients when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I placed my hand on the family soft hand knowing exactly who it was. My love. My Bella.

Isabella Swan, Bella if you may, was the only women I had ever loved in my life, except my delightful mother of course. She had lavishing mahogany colored hair with deep, brown eyes that can go one forever. She was pale as a sheet of paper and was beyond beautiful. Her skin was as soft as rose petals and she smelled like fresh strawberries and freesia. She was the most carefree, selfless person I ever knew and she was the one and only person to ever hold my heart.

"Edward, love, I must go to visit my father now. The doctor said they don't have much longer, no more than a day or two," she explained half-heartedly.

"Of course, I understand, go to your father, love," I spoke as I attempted to smile but I'm sure it came out as a grimace.

"I'll be back as soon as I can, when Elizabeth wakes up send her my love," she said as she looked at my mother close to lifeless body.

"I will," I smiled a small but appreciative smile.

"I will see you tomorrow, Edward. I love you," she smiled and kissed my cheek.

"I love you too," I replied and watched as she touched my mother's hand and left to see her ailing father.

Bella was always such a great person and was extremely close to my mother and looked up to her since her mother died giving birth to Bella. And my mother loved Bella just as much in return and they were quite close to one another. That was a plus when I knew I loved Bella, my mother would make goodies and have me deliver them to the Swans' who live a few houses away from us and I've always thought of Bella as beautiful so when I grew to know her I eventually fell in love. My mother was the first to know, every time she spoke of Bella my face would light up and then she would always give me a smile that said she knew exactly what I felt. Finally one day my mother gave me the confidence I needed to ask Bella to have dinner with me and she said yes. Ever since that day I was the happiest man alive. After two months of seeing each other the Spanish Influenza hit. Immediately my father, Edward Sr. got sick and my mother never left his side. A few days ago he had finally passed away and I knew my mother wasn't far away; she couldn't live without her love.

"Edward," I heard the faint voice of my mother.

"Mother," I answered, taking her hand in mine.

"Edward, darling, you cannot be here you will get sick my son," my mother stressed. I knew she would say that, she was a self-sacrificing person and I loved my dear mother for it.

"Mother, I will not leave your side, I can't," I answered truthfully.

"Edward you must be with Bella, not your dying old mother. I'm sure she needs you," she murmured.

"Bella just left here a few minutes ago. She went to her father, the doctor said he doesn't have much time left, and she said to send you her love," I retorted knowing Bella wouldn't want me to leave.

My mother signed and looked at me deep in the eyes, as I looked back into the same deep green eyes as mine. She looked lost in her thoughts as she finally spoke, "Edward I know you love Bella, and you wish to make her your wife someday, here," she said as she pulled out her wedding ring that which my father gave to her. The face was a long oval, set with slanting rows of glittering round stones. The band was gold — delicate and narrow. The gold made a fragile web around the diamond. It was beautiful but I couldn't take this, it belongs to my mother.

"Mother, I can't, that's yours-," I started but she cut me off and placed it in the palm of my hand.

"Edward, nonsense, I want you to have this and give this to your beautiful wife to be. Giving her this, it will have a piece of your father and me in your life. You would always have my blessing on your relationship with this ring and I want this," Mother objected. "Now go and find the love of your life and make her yours forever."

I looked at my mother for a long minute and got buried in my thoughts. I loved Isabella, and I did hope one day to make her my wife but I never thought it would be in this situation. I suppose it was as good time as any because my love grew for her day after day, hour after hour and minute after minute. My mother gave me an approving look and smile and told me to go and I did I went out to find Bella.

I reached where I knew Charles; Bella's father would be and walked towards them. I saw that Charles was awake and I knew I had to do this right.

"Bella, love may I speak to your father for a minute?" I asked her with a slight smile. She nodded and went out of the room.

"Edward, what can I do for you?" Charles low sound escaped his throat.

"Mr. Swan, I wanted to ask for your blessing," I paused to look at him and then continued, "I would like to ask Bella for her hand in marriage."

I looked at him and he smiled a faint but joyful smile. "Of course Edward, if anyone were to take my dear Isabella's hand in marriage I would want it to be you, I know you would take care of her and be nothing but a gentleman."

"Thank you Mr. Swan. It is such an honor to hear such great words. Thank you," I exclaimed in the biggest smile I've had in months. "I must go now." He nodded in understanding.

I walked out the room and saw Bella down the corridor, sitting on a white plastic chair.

"Bella!" I called out and motioned for her to follow me. She came over and we walked together out of the hospital.

"Where are we going Edward?" she asked confused more than ever.

"Somewhere special," I smiled. After a few minutes of walking into the forest next to the hospital she realized where I was taking her. To our meadow, the most beautiful place.

"Why are we here, Edward?" she questioned as her eyebrows knitted together while she surveyed the circular clearing with purple and pink wildflowers growing everywhere.

I got down on one knee when she wasn't looking and spoke, "Isabella Marie Swan," I said as she looked at me with utter shock. "I love you more than life itself, more than anything and anyone. Would you do me the extraordinary honor of being my wife?"

She still had the shock and unbelievable look on her face and a tear spilled from her eye. "Yes. Edward, I love you, yes I would love to be your wife," she cried.

I slipped the ring on her finger and hugged her tightly as we kissed passionately. The kiss was mesmerizing, like nothing I've ever experienced, full of passion, love and hope.

"I love you, I'll love you forever and ever," I declared as we pulled apart.

"I was hoping for that," she smiled, "I will love you for eternity and beyond."

In that moment, I felt nothing but love and happiness. I felt complete and whole for once.

"We should get back," I stated, looking up to the sky, "it's getting quite dark."

She nodded and we headed towards the hospital. We walked in silence, comfortable silence while holding hands once the hospital came into view. We parted ways and she went to her father to share the wonderful news as I went to my mother. Just before I reached the room I started coughing and felt sick. Then Doctor Cullen, my mother's doctor saw me and came to my assistance.

"Edward, take a seat. How are you feeling?" he rushed taking me to the closest empty bed.

I coughed again and it broke out into a whole fit and my body started to feel weak and my head felt as if it was spinning in circles very fast.

"Weak and dizzy," I admitted between coughs.

"Oh Edward it seems as if you're infected with the disease," he confessed.

I was stunned at the news. Of course I knew the risk of getting contained with the disease, it was contagious but I never thought I would get it. I didn't want to have it. I couldn't have it. I couldn't die to this malicious thing. I had Isabella to live for. I couldn't die, she didn't have anyone else.

"What? No," I whispered in realization. "I can't leave my Bella now."

Even though I knew I was whispering and Dr. Cullen was all the way across the room with medicine in his hands coming my way, he seemed to have heard me and gave me a sympathy look.

"What about my mother?" I asked looking across the room where my mother laid sleeping in the bed next to mine.

"She's alive, but I don't think she have much longer again Edward. I'm sorry," he said as he gave me a remedy to take. I hesitated but took it in hope to get better.

I signed as my felt my eyelids turned heavy and slipped into sleep after I heard Dr. Cullen say, "You must rest Edward."

BPOV

My life seems to be full of joy and sadness. Edward, my love, my life had proposed to me, asking me to be his wife. I all seem surreal to be honest. I have always thought of Edward in my future but I never thought it would happen now. It was as good time as any, right?

Yes. It didn't matter if it happened last month, next month, or ever in 100 years. I would always say yes, no matter what. Because he was Edward Anthony Masen, the love of my life and center of my universe.

He was the man I loved for as long as I have known. He was beautiful inside and out with soft bronze-copper hair much like his mothers and piercing emerald color eyes again much like his mothers, other than that he was an image of his father, Edward Sr. who had passed away not more than a week ago. His mother, Elizabeth was lying on death's bed. Elizabeth was much like a mother to me since my mother died giving birth to me. She always helps my father and I whenever she can. Edward Sr. and my father we practically best friends who knew each other since birth till death. Our families were close but Edward and I were closer. We were in love and no one could've been happier than our parents.

When Edward asked for my hand in marriage I was stunned and shocked but mostly I was made the happiest woman in the world at just 16 years old and my future husband 17. We were still quite young but I didn't care, I loved him.

I walked into my father's room and saw him talking to his doctor, Dr. Stevens. As I entered they had finished talking and Dr. Stevens greeted me and left.

"How are you feeling father?" I asked sitting down on the chair beside his bed.

"I'm hanging on there, Bells," he let out. "So did Edward.." he trailed off.

I smiled; of course Edward asked my father's permission. He was rather a great gentleman. "Yes," I smiled and showed him my hand.

"That's Elizabeth Mason's ring," he gasped lowly. I looked at it and then the reorganization hit me. I've seen this exact ring of Elizabeth's finger countless times. I was speechless; Edward gave me his ailing mother's ring given to her by his father. "Bells I'm happy for you and Edward. I know you're both going to have an amazing life together and an amazing future."

"Thank you father," I smiled and took his hand. "You should rest."

He nodded and closed his eyes. As he fell asleep I got up and decided to go to Edward and Elizabeth, last time I saw her she wasn't in a good shape. I reached Elizabeth's room and found no one sitting next to her empty bed but someone in the next bed lying beside her.

No. Not my Edward. He looked weak and was drained in sweat as his body looked as if it was giving up.

"No," I cried as I rushed to his side and took his hand in mine. "No."

He seems to have heard me because his eyes opened a little bit and he whispered my name.

"Edward, no," I cried again.

"Bella," his hoarse voice spoke. I never thought in a million years he would ever sound like this. "Don't cry my love," he soothed.

"This can't be happening," I managed to get out when a blond haired doctor whom I recognized as Dr. Cullen, Elizabeth's doctor, came in.

"Bella, you can't be here. You can get sick," he urged.

"I don't care," I let out and tears streamed down my face. Doctor Cullen soon left the room giving Edward and I some time alone for a bit.

"Bella go," Edward croaky voice spoke again. "Go love please, carry on with your life" he begged. "It's my one wish."

With that I was speechless yet again. His one wish, I could give this to Edward no matter how much it would hurt. "Please," his voice pleaded again. "I love you forever," were his last words to me.

"I love you for eternity," I whispered back.

Soon after the doctor came back and ushered me out to speak to me. Tears streaming down my face I left. I gave my dying fiancée his last wish.

"Bella I'm sorry. Elizabeth died early this morning and Edward is in a much worse shape than any of us expected. He has hours, no more than a day left in him," Dr. Cullen spoke the words I wish I would never hear. I felt numb. "You should go home and rest. You would have a less chance of getting the Influenza that way, it's what Edward would want." He was right, as much as I would hate to admit it. Edward would want me to rest but I didn't want to, I didn't want to go one without him but I had to, for Edward.

With that the doctor left and went into Edward's room and tended to him. I was left there not knowing what to do at all, I ran. I ran to our meadow and cried. I cried until there was no more tears left to cry. I stayed in our meadow all night, I didn't care that it was dark, I didn't care. I relived the moment he asked me to marry him over and over again in my head. I need to see him once more. Just one more time. I walked out of the meadow and to the hospital. In a rush I reached to his room but it was empty.

He was gone.

My love, my life, my fiancé, my Edward was gone.

Again I cried. I cried about my lost. My loss of love and my life because when he died I knew I died along with him. My Edward was no more.

I felt nothing, no emotions, nothing.

I didn't cry anymore because I was out of tears, I had no words because I was at lost for them.

"Bella," a voice called. I turned to see who it belonged to and saw Doctor Stevens. "Your father was asking for you."

"Of course, I shall see what he needs," I nodded and walked away from the empty room because that's what I was empty, I had nothing.

I walked down the familiar path and to my father's room. When he saw me he smiled but then the smile dropped to a frown when he looked at my face again.

"Bells what's wrong?" he choked out concern.

"He's gone," was all I said with no emotion.

"Who is-"he started but cut himself off when he figured it out. "Oh Bella," he cooed in his gravelly voice.

I said nothing, I just sat there. Hours after hours, days after days I sat there. My father seems to have got worse as he found out about Edward and Elizabeth. Soon after Dr. Stevens send me out of the room because of how bad he had gotten. About three days after Edward died the only other person in my life left me as well. My father died.
