"Yay!" Alice's trilling voice was getting very familiar ever since I became Bella Cullen; I haven't spent a waking moment without either Edward or Alice by my side. Her ability to see the future still gets on my nerves sometimes. She doesn't always like sharing with me, but Edward can usually tell me himself using his own ability.

"What'd you see this time?"

"Oh nothing..." It must have been interesting. I let down my shield so that Edward could hear my thoughts. I didn't want Alice to hear me ask or she might try to stop me from getting the information from her head. Edward smiled my favorite smile and focused on Alice. For some reason he looked confused. I figured it was from the vision Alice had just seen, but he turned back towards me and explained that he couldn't see what Alice had just seen. She was blocking him out and she gave us a smug smile before skipping out of our cottage to go home.

"I still don't understand how something so small could be so annoying." He said this regularly. I laughed. Typical Alice.

"I've known you since before you were born and ever since I laid my eyes on you I've known we were meant to be together. I love you with all my heart and I will do anything to keep you happy for the rest of our lives... Renesmee Carlie Cullen? Will you marry me?"

I couldn't help but laugh and as I did I watched Jacob's happy, hopeful expression turn into shock that took over his whole face like a disease. Of course, I wanted to explain to him why I was laughing at his sincere, well thought out proposal, but I couldn't find the breath to say anything.

"Wha?...Why?" was all Jacob could manage as his heartbroken face stared down into the sand. We were sitting on First Beach at La Push like we usually did. Jacob was seated in the wet sand; I was perched in my usual spot in our favorite drift wood tree. It was always breathtaking to sit and watch the flow of colors as the sun set over the splashing waves. I finally caught my breath and I turned Jacob's face toward mine so that he could see I wasn't laughing at him.

"I'm sorry Jacob...It's just that..."

"You're not ready to get married. I should have expected that. I mean you're technically only seven years old, but..."

"JACOB...listen to me." I giggled. "I laughed because I wasn't expecting that. I was expecting something more like 'Marry me babe'. You were just so loving and heartfelt and, well, usually you're, just not." I smiled into his face as his eyes lit up. "There's my Jacob...always happy." I brushed my fingers across his cheek.

"Your mom is gonna kill me. She didn't want to get married young and she was eighteen. You're seven! What are they gonna do to me?"

"I'll make sure they don't kill you when we tell them." I smiled. I had just said yes, but Jacob didn't notice. His eyes were staring blankly out into the ocean probably thinking of all the different ways my parents could torture and kill him for asking their seven year old daughter to marry him. "Jacob?" He blinked a few times with confusion and slowly turned his head towards me to stare into my eyes. "Jacob I just said yes and don't worry about my parents. They were wondering what was taking you so long. I've been fully grown for nearly two months now. They thought you would surely scoop me up and drag me to Las Vegas as soon as I was full grown. They are ready for this whenever we are."

His face lit up again and his smile reached up straight into his eyes. It was my favorite smile just like the one my mom had grown to love so many years ago. He jumped up with joy and grabbed me with him holding me in a bone crushing embrace. It was a good thing that I'm half vampire or my lungs would have collapsed under the pressure of his bear hug.

"So when is the wedding?" I asked him after he put me down. He looked at me with a surprised look on his face.

"I don't know. I was waiting until you said yes before I started planning anything. I wasn't sure if I was asking you too early. I thought you might want to wait a little longer."

"Jacob, you've been my older brother, my best friend, and my boyfriend. Now you're my fiancé and I can't wait until you are my husband." He smiled as he realized the truth in my words. I couldn't recall one time when Jacob had willingly left my side. We were always together, the only exception being the times when Jacob had to run patrol with his other pack members. We had been together my whole life and I couldn't stand the thought of not having him near me. "There is only one person who, I'm sure, already knows when this wedding is going to take place. It has probably been completely planned already too." I laughed and Jacob smiled.

"Alice." He said with a chuckle. "I wonder how long she has known."

"Well we shouldn't keep her waiting, she may throw a fit if we don't tell her asap. She is probably dying to have my dress fitted."
