AN: Thanks for the reviews! You guys have been AWESOME with the amount of feedback that you have been giving me! Keep up the great work. We are going to pick up where we left off, Bella and Edward talking about the future. I'd also like to thank my amazing beta cascsiany for fixing up all my work!

Second part of the AN, I will not be able to update for probably about a week as I'm going on my first set of holidays and will not have my laptop with me as I don't like leaving it in the hotel. After that then I will be back on regular updating. Since I can't give an early update if I get 5 reviews I'll say that I'll update as soon as I get home if I get 5!

Chapter 9

Edward's POV

"I love you too Bella, much more then you will ever know. Let's leave it at we are engaging to get engaged. I want to do this right, a proper proposal and everything. You are right, you may never get your memory back so I will make this time just as special as last, and if you can't have your old memories we will make newer and better ones." With that I kissed her, although this time I didn't hold back. Our lips molded together like they were made for the sole purpose of kissing each other. There was still the electric current that ran through me every time I touched her. Finally we had to break off the kiss as we both had to breathe.

"Edward promise me that we will be engaged soon, after being in that accident I know how precious life is and how fast it can get taken away. I want to marry you so badly, to finally be your wife but I have this strange feeling in the pit of my stomach that something terrible is going to happen. If something was to happen to me I would want everything I own along with the custody of Michael to go to you. I would not put it past my mother to sue for custody if it was up in the air. She would fight dirty; she would say because of your hours you would not be able to raise the child. Edward, it would just be so horrible." Bella started crying again. I needed to put her mind at ease.

I knew her relationship with mother was nonexistent after she moved back with Charlie and now I knew she never really got over her insecurities with her. I too would not put it past Renee to ruin everything, although not in the same way as Bella thinks. If she found out that I was taking Mike's place, she would blow the whistle just because it would give her daughter the greatest pain in her life. I don't know why Renee ever decided to have a child; she was never parenting Bella and was always resentful towards her after Bella moved in with Charlie to give her mother space with her new husband! I really hope Emmett does not fill her in on what all Bella has been going through as she may decide to come for a visit to try get her to move back with her and get a second chance with her grandchild.

"Bella, love, relax. We will get married after Michael is born. The stress of a wedding isn't good for you or the baby. I will inform Alice so she can start planning. You are going to be alright Bella, I know you will. If anything was to happen to you, you know that I would do anything to keep custody of Michael; I would quit my job if I had to. You know that financially I don't need to work at all but I do it because I enjoy it. Everything will work out Bella, trust me on this one." She calmed down as I rubbed calming circles on her back. Before I knew it I heard her breathing slow, she was asleep. I carried her to the bed, took off her shoes and tucked her in. I kissed her on the forehead before crawling into bed as well.

"Goodnight love. I wish you were not dead set on marriage as you are going to hate me once you get you memory back. Just know that I love you with all my heart." I know it was dumb to talk to a sleeping person, but it killed me every day to know that I was keeping this secret from her.

Bella slept through the night without having a nightmare. Maybe I got rid of her insecurities by promising to propose to her soon. I still cannot believe how many lies I have had to tell her over the weeks in order to keep the story straight. I already knew I was going to propose with my grandmother's ring, now what was I going to do to make it memorable. I would have to do it soon and it needed to be perfect. I slid out of bed at 7 in the morning to call Alice and see if she had any ideas.

"Good morning big brother, what can I do for you today?" Did she always have to sound so cheerful so early in the morning?

"Hey Alice! Anyways Bella and I were talking last night and the topic of our marriage came up. I will get right to the point, I am going to propose to her within the next few weeks and I need for it to be perfect. I have the limitation of not really being that active and I was thinking about maybe doing it in the nursery when it is finished. Could you and mom come and work on it and get it done ASAP?" I could tell she was excited, Alice always wanted to be sisters with Bella and now she would get her wish.

"Edward!!!! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED for you!!!!!!!!!!!! Can we come over now to work on it? Oh and what you need to do is make a little supper with all food that has the word baby in it and then make it all romantic and then……" The little pixie had way too many ideas floating around in her head. I don't know how Jasper could handle being married to my sister between the energy and the trait of being easily excitable. Her ideas sparked an idea of my own so I informed Alice and she screamed through the phone.

"Bella would love that! Trust me! And after you pop the question make sure Bella calls me and tells me everything. You don't know how excited I am for this! Although I hate to remind you about this but you need to talk to Emmett about this." Oh right Emmett! I'll have to drop by and talk to him face to face. Asking permission to marry his sister after lying to her about her dead husband and allowing her to call the dead husband's baby mine may be a stretch.

"Alice, yes please come over and start working right away! I also need someone to stay with Bella while I go and talk to Emmett. He is not going to be happy about this Alice. Oh and remember don't get Bella too excited about anything or make her move around a lot, it's not good for the baby. Knowing her clumsiness even if she didn't have a difficult pregnancy she could fall down and cause some complications." Alice giggled before wishing me goodbye and calling our mother.

I decided I would make Bella breakfast in bed again, she was really tired and it would be nice for her to get her rest and have a lazy day, especially since she would have to deal with Alice later today. I decided to make banana oatmeal chocolate chip muffins for her, she loved them when we took commercial cooking together in high school so maybe she would like to eat them now. As they were cooking Bella entered the kitchen.

"Mmm something smells really good in here! What are you cooking?" She was absolutely glowing today. With her hair disheveled and in one of my old baggy shirts and sweatpants but to me this was the most beautiful I had ever seen her.

I went over and took her in my arms, lightly kissing her. She had other plans, she deepened the kiss and made it more passionate than any other kisses we have had before. I poured all the emotions and feelings I had for her in that one kiss and it felt like she did the same. I was careful not to put too much pressure on her large bump, but with a mind blowing kiss like that I was starting to lose control.

"Bella you look so beautiful right now! You're absolutely glowing and perfect. God, I just love you so much, you and our son." Her smile was so big that I thought she could hurt her cheeks with it. Happiness tears streamed down her face as she pulled me into a big hug. She leaned her head on my chest and we just stood there, neither one of us saying a word. That moment was perfect; I never wanted this to end. I knew we needed to finish up the nursery soon otherwise I may have to come up with a new plan on proposing as I needed to do it soon.

Bella's POV

This morning was the best morning I think I have had in a very long time. I had woken up to an empty bed, which was a bit unsettling, but when I found Edward, he made it up to me. He gave me the most wonderful kiss I have ever had in my life and he called me beautiful! I know I should not be so vain but noticing some more stretch marks today really had me down on my appearance. Edward always knew what to say and do to make me feel better. I don't know how I got so lucky as to be with the perfect man. I broke away from our embrace when I heard the timer go off. I opened the stove and saw the muffins that Edward and I made in grade 11 with our commercial cooking class. How did he know I was craving bananas?

"Love I thought you might have wanted something we use to make. Since your memory goes as far as 18 I thought I would cook something from when we were 17 so you feel some sort of normalcy." That was so sweet, him thinking about certain foods that I would remember.

"That's so sweet Edward! Would you mind if we ate these outside on the half finished play center? It's the one random day that it isn't raining and it would be nice to get some fresh air." I already started eating my muffin when Edward picked me up bridal style and took me to the play center. It had the little tree house area where we could sit and eat, it was only missing the swings and the slide.

"So Alice will be coming over today. I have a few things I need to get done today and she told me she needed to talk to you so she will be coming over this afternoon." I wonder what Edward had to do today? I really hope he doesn't leave me alone too long with Alice; I do not have the energy for her hyperness or clothes decisions. We finished our lunch and Edward took me to the living room and we watched Gran Torino together. The credits were rolling when Alice made her appearance.

"Hello bestest friend in the world and my lovely brother. Bella we have so many baby arrangements to go through today and I need you opinions on some of the designs I have for CC. This is going to be so much fun!!!!! Oh and I also brought you some more clothes that I will be switching with some of your old clothes." Of course Alice would have to go into my closet; she did it every time she came over. Alice shot Edward a look and he silently nodded to her to let her know that he understood. Something was going on between the two of them. With that Edward came over and kissed my forehead before leaving out the front door.

"What was that look about Alice?" She just smiled and had a glimmering look in her eye.

"Oh nothing you need to worry about, you'll find out soon enough. Now let's turn on some music and get down to planning!"

AN: Wow I can't believe the next chapter will be chapter 10! What do you guys think about Edward agreeing to propose to Bella? Remember to tell me what you think of the story. Remember 5 reviews=an update as soon as I get back!
