Yeah, I don't own twilight. That's about it. . . enjoy!

Renesme

I looked into his eyes. They were so deep, I got lost in them. They were burning with anxiety, reminding me I still needed to answer him.

"Um… what?"

"I was just wondering…" he trailed off and took a deep breath.

"Yes?" I was confused. What was he getting at? I tried to be patient, I could see this was hard for him to say.

" You don't… I mean, do you… Um," He took another huge breath and let it out, I breathed in his scent. It was woodsy, like evergreens and soil, but not musty, It was nice. It was my life.

"Do you want kids?" he blurted it out and it came all in a rush.

"W-what?" I stuttered. No, he must have said something else. Not kids. He didn't, did he?

"A kid. You know, like a baby. It's just that, well, you know as well as I do that one day you won't be able to grow anymore. And that includes being able to carry a child. That day is coming soon, but we have time. I mean, if… if you want to."

"Oh, Jake, " I tried to picture it: a small bundle in my arms with My Jacob's deep, brown eyes, his dark, russet skin. I smiled and turned to look up at the stars scattered across the sky. "I think I'd like that. Wouldn't you?"

He looked up at the stars too, "Your child? Of course I would." He reached over and tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. "But are you sure your ready? We've still got a bit more than a year, you don't have to decide yet."

I sighed. I knew that the second hand would pound in my ears with each tick if I waited. I had a deadline. One year, and that's it. Just one. I would have nine months to prepare myself, wouldn't I? My mother didn't, and werewolves were know for their growths spurts. Wait a second…

"Would it work?" I asked suddenly, pulling us both out of our thoughts.

"Would… What?" He asked, confused.

"I just meant that, well, you're a werewolf. I'm half vampire, Jacob. Doesn't that seem, I don't know, dangerous?"

"Yeah, I thought about that." He turned to look into my eyes and grabbed both of my hands in his, "But it can't be, not really. You're not venomous, so that's no problem, and if I was able to imprint on you doesn't that imply that we would be able to start a family?"

Wow, he had really thought this through. My smile grew to the point that I felt it would split in two. "So, this is really going to happen. It is going to work, isn't it?"

"There's no reason why it shouldn't. Unless… you're sure you want to do this?" he asked, looking intently into my eyes. How could I not want a child with this man?

"Yes, I really do."

"Well then, no."

I was shocked. No? What?

"N-no?"

"No." He was smiling at me. Why was he doing this? What was he playing at? I loved him, but he was confusing me.

"Oh?" was all I could choke out. He let out a small chuckle at my loss for words. Suddenly, he put both my hands into one of his and pulled me closer, leaning down to press his forehead to mine.

"Marry me first. I love you with all my heart, more than that. More than words can express, more than life itself. Marry me and we can live together, we'll go wherever you want, we can go to school or get jobs or just look into eachothers eyes all day long."

I laughed softly. That all sounded so wonderful!

"Where did this all come from? Just the other day we were living life care-free, what happened?"

"I dunno, I guess I realized that you were growing up so fast, I don't want you to miss out on anything. Especially something as big as having a child. I know it would mean a lot to you and you would make a wonderful mother." He smiled at me. We had made our way over to the edge of the cliff now. I tried to move a little further but his arm pulled me back gently. I rolled my eyes playfully at him.

"I'm pretty indestructible. I don't think a little fall is going to kill me."

"Now, now, I couldn't bring you back home soaking wet, what would your family think?" he teased.

I turned to stare at him. "They're your family, too." I said, serious now.

He didn't reply, he just moved to my side and continued to look out at the black waves. We stayed like this for several minutes before he turned to look me in the eyes, still grasping my hands. The moonlight was shining off his hair and making his eyes sparkle. God, he was beautiful.

"You know, I was serious before. I want to marry you before we start our own family."

"I know you do, but that's not a question…" I hinted. He chuckled, knowing what I was getting at. Keeping my hands in his, he got down on his knee. It didn't make much of a difference, his head was now level with my shoulder.

"Renesme Carlie Cullen, I love you and I want to spend eternity with you. Will you marry me?"

I swung my arms around his neck and sat down on the knee he had knelt on.

"Of course I will, you silly wolf, now kiss me."

I know that this chapter took an aggravatingly long time to get posted, but I wanted to make sure there were no major mistakes. I also wanted this chapter to be as perfect as I could get it because of the proposal! Thanks to everyone for reviewing xD
