Hey guys, thanks for the reviews! I really didn't think I would have that many, so it's pretty cool.

JennCullen87 - I hadn't really decided on their ages, so I guess we'll say that Emmett, Jasper and Rosalie are 19, and Bella, Alice and Edward are 18.

Anyways, read on to find out why Elizabeth wants to meet with Bella. Hopefully you won't be disappointed...

Decision

As I sat with Elizabeth at a small café table, I tried to dismiss the fact that not even an hour ago, I had been sneaking around with her son. I always felt guilty whenever I had to face her after having spent the night with Edward. I didn't regret it; I just wish it didn't have to be a secret. I wanted her to know that I was in love with him; I wanted her to be happy for us. I knew Edward wanted it too. That's probably why I wanted it so bad.

I had been feeling kind of nervous ever since Elizabeth called this morning. She had said she wanted to meet for lunch, but wouldn't say why. All she told me was that there was something really important that she needed my opinion on. Something that wasn't really business-related. I had racked my brain the whole time coming here, but I could think of nothing.

"I bet your probably wondering what I've dragged you out of bed for" Elizabeth said as she took a small sip of her tea.

I held onto my plain old hot chocolate, letting it cool before I drank any of it. "A little…"

She smiled and set her tea back on the table. I was not prepared for what she said next.

"I've noticed that lately Edward's been kind of…well, childish, maybe, I'm not sure how to describe it. It's like he's not interested in his future and he hasn't got anything set in stone. I feel like, as his mother, I should change that. We all know that one day, when I'm no longer able, Edward's going to be expected to take over the company and I need him to be ready, I need him to be focused. But more importantly, I want him to be happy with a family of his own. That's where you and I come in Bella" Elizabeth paused and then reached across the table to take my hands in hers. "Bella, I want you to help me find a wife for Edward"

I stared blankly at her as the reality of the situation sank in. She wanted me to help her choose a wife for her son and the man I was madly in love with? Was she serious? I couldn't do that. I just couldn't. I loved him; I couldn't just simply give him away.

"Elizabeth, I really don't think it's my place to-" I started to decline, but she let go of my hands and waved one in the air as if to dismiss my worries.

"Bella, Bella, Bella" she started, a smile forming. "Of course it's your place if I'm asking you" she laughed.

I tried to smile, but came up short. "But why would you ask me though?" I asked, curiously.

Surely there was someone else that could help her in this situation. Like Alice for example. Alice knew Edward like the back of her hand, she would be better at this than I would.

Elizabeth's smile turned loving. "Bella, you've been so good to me and Edward both. You know how much I care about him. He's all that I have; I wouldn't leave this decision up to just anyone. Your like a daughter to me, Bella. I couldn't make a decision like this without your opinion. Would you please help me?" she asked.

I felt like crying. She thought of me as her daughter? She had never once told me that before and the guilt just drowned me. If she only knew just how good I've been to Edward, she would take that compliment back in a heart beat.

I wanted to say "No, I can't help, I'm sorry", but I couldn't bring myself to. How does one deny someone after they tell you they view you as family? Plus all of the sneaking around, I felt like I owed it to her to just do as she asked, no matter how hard it would be. But maybe it wouldn't hurt to have a say in who Elizabeth thought Edward should be with.

"Sure Elizabeth, I'd love to" I replied to which her smile grew and she took a satisfied sip of her tea.

I stared at my full hot chocolate. Somehow, my thirst seemed to have vanished.

"Thank you Bella, so much" she beamed, then she pulled a thin binder out of her bag and set in on the table in-between us. "I've made a list of all of the available women who are ready to settle down and wouldn't mind doing so with Edward. I've been planning this for a while, but I didn't want to ask you until it was a for sure thing. I've narrowed it down to a top five and I'd like you to come with me and sort of interview them" she explained as I took the binder in my hands.

I flipped open the binder and was surprised to see five pages with the basic information of each potential woman. Each potential woman who was interested in a future with my Edward. I would probably hate them all, but my opinion on who Edward should marry might be a little biased. Of course, had Elizabeth known that, we wouldn't be in this situation.

"Interview them?" I asked as my eyes quickly scanned the pages, catching the gist of it all.

Elizabeth nodded. "Just a few questions to make sure that they are the right one for my Edward. You can feel free to ask any questions you'd like because after we've met each woman; my end decision will be based on what you think. If you think one of them is all wrong for him, then I'll trust your judgment. But if you think one of them has potential, then that's the woman I'll want him to be with" she explained.

I couldn't help but wonder something. "You must have an awful lot of faith in me if your letting me choose a wife for Edward" I said.

Elizabeth shrugged. "Bella, I know you. Your not one to make rash decisions. You consider every little detail before you jump into something. Like I said earlier, you know how much he means to me. I can't imagine you not taking this seriously. I know you'll pull through. You always do" she explained.

Suddenly, she stood up, grabbing her bag as she did so. I handed her back the binder and she slid it back in her bag and slung it on her shoulder.

"I should get going. I've got things to do, errands to run. I'd like you to take the day off and I don't want to see you until tomorrow at this café at noon. We'll be meeting the five women then. Now, relax and enjoy your day. I'll see you tomorrow" she said as I said a quick goodbye and watched her leave.

I decided to leave too since Elizabeth had paid for the drinks beforehand and I decided to go back to my apartment. When I got there, I took off everything except for my white tank-top and my black lacy underwear and decided a nap was in order. I threw my hair up in a messy bun and threw myself into the comfort of my bed, ready to escape reality for a few hours.

Once I had fallen asleep, I started to dream. I loved this dream because in it, the woman I had chose to marry Edward was me and only me…

CrimsonScarz - So, Elizabeth didn't end up setting her up with Jacob, but that was a pretty good guess. It had me thinking and I almost played it out to see where it went, but I decided to do something else with Jacob if I decided to use him. You'll just have to wait and see, ;).
