I don't own Twilight

Chapter 10 Sick

Edward's pov

Bella and I have been visiting her father once a day though she has she was very worried for her mother as well as her father. She knew her mother would be a mess if something happened to her father. She wasn't sure how to help her mother in time of need. I wish I could help her.

I knew Bella needed to get her mind off of things and so I took her to my favorite place to go. A meadow that my family has saved for wild life. She loved the place for I could see.

"I love it Edward!" she said just as I had thought. I smiled. We stayed in the meadow for a while.

"Bella? There is something I want to ask you."

She looked at me with her loving brown eyes. "Yes?" she asked.

"Bella, I love very much. I will always love you forever and always. Will you be my wife?" I asked.

Bella looked at me shocked for a bit I wasn't sure if she heard me when I saw tears in her eyes. I was going to reply when she shocked me by kissing me.

"Yes Edward! Yes!" she said. I was happy and gently placed my grandmother's ring on her left third finger. We stayed there together for a while longer before I got up and helped her up. "We must go Bella." I said she nodded as I led her out of the meadow and back to my home.

When we got back to my home we saw that Carlisle was there. I knew today wasn't the day for him to be here so I knew this can't be good. "Bella I'm so very sorry but your mother has the Spanish Influenza as well. Though we have tried very hard to save your father he has passed away this morning." He said with sadness in his voice. I watched Bella as she leaned against me.

Carlisle must have seen the ring on Bella's left hand because he smiled a little at me as if he knew what I did today. He nodded as did I. "It'll be alright Bella." I said gently as I wrapped my arms around her. Mother came in that time and went to Bella. "Come on Bella. Let's get you some tea." She said gently as she led Bella away.

"I'm very happy for you and Bella Edward. I'm sorry I had to bring sad news on a happy day for you both." He said.

"It's fine. She should know." I said.

"Her father did try very hard to get better but I think he was fighting it for her worried. He knew that she was going to be well cared for he gave up fighting. He must have known then."

I nodded. "Yes I've spoken to him about it back in July." I said. He nodded. "I be by tomorrow for new books if you still wish to." I nodded as he left.

It's been a week since Bella's father has died. Sadly her mother has died just a few days ago from the same sickness. Bella has moved in to live with us now. She knew her father has fought to stay alive for her.
