"Happy Anniversary" He whispered beside my ear. As I stared out to the clear dark ocean, a gold shimmering necklace floated in front of me.
"Jacob" I gasped as I suddenly noticed the beautiful princess cut diamond dangling from the chain.
He kissed my neck gently while taking off the ring and placing it on my left finger. I turned towards him as his big strong arms embraced me. A cold silent tear escaped my eye…
This isn't right, I thought.
I have to tell him… But the words never came. My thoughts began to shift from one thing to the next. I was a monster! A clear wretched fraud!
"Do you like it?" He breathed, kissing me.
"Like it?" I whispered, "Jacob, it's beautiful!" I brought myself closer to him so that my head was just a few inches below his chin.
"You are the love of my life Rosalie Hale. There is nothing I would not do for you. This life I live, is a blessing to be a part of, but has honestly no point if you're not in it. I want to grow old and build a life with you… I just need to know… Do you want the same thing? With me that is. Will you marry me?"
No! My conscience screamed. SAY NO!
As unbearable as it was too I took one last look at the ring. This was everything I had always wanted. A future. Husband, kids, someone to just spend the rest of my time with. Someone who could love the inner depths of me and love me without fault. Someone who was patient, kind, and protecting of what was ours. A life filled with joy, because my past had been filled with so much pain. It took me years to find a man like Jacob Black. I loved him with every fiber of my being. But how was I going to tell him after all that we had been through…
I had cheated on him.
And I was pregnant with the father's baby.
My vision began to blur as the tears formed. I took a deep breath and faced him.
"Yes" I choked. "Nothing would bring me greater joy!"
