I didn't think I would ever be in this situation. Or rather, I never thought I would be in this situation with Edward. As I laid in a mass of tangled sheets, my body strewn across Edwards, I couldn't help but feel utter bliss. I giggled. I felt his arms wrapped around me tighter.

"What's funny?" He asked.

"I never thought I would be here with you." I laughed.

He laughed too. "I didn't either. It was certainly...pleasurable."

I laughed harder. "Oh really?"

"Yes, really." He looked down on me then and gave me a full wattage crooked grin. I could feel the blush wrap around my neck and face.

"I really do love that." He murmured.

"I really do love you, Edward."

"I love you too, Bella. So much. I cannot fathom why I left you. In this moment, and all of last night, I can't find one logical reason for doing this."

I thought about that for a moment. I came up with one.

"Fate. Because now we have Connor."

"We?"

"Yes, we. Unless you don't want to.." I began to feel selfconcious. But we were not a single deal. Connor and I were a package.

"No! No, that is not it at all! I just didn't think that you would want him around me.."

"Edward Cullen! You are the most caring and understanding person in the world! Why would I not want you around him?" I was stunned!

"I don't know Bella. But I do know that I love you, and I love Connor, very much."

"And that is exactly why I love you. You are my escape."

"As you are mine, Bella. As you are mine."

"What are we going to do? You are my student! AH!"

Edward busted out laughing.

"We are going to go away. You and me and my family and Connor. And we are going to be happy. And we will keep him safe. No matter the cost."

"How could I ever ask that of you?"

"You don't have too. I will willingly oblige." He smiled again and then got up.

"What are you doing?" I asked. I certinatly did not want him out of bed and, I hoped, not to be putting clothes on. He laughed at my expression and pulled out something from his jacket pocket.

It was a little black box.

"I know this is not the perfect place to do this but, Bella, I love you so much. This was my mother's. Not Esme's. My...human mothers. I promise to love you, and Connor, with all of my being until I die, which is presumably never. Bella Swan, will you marry me and let me be a father to your son?"

I was shocked. Tears were welling in my eyes as I spoke the words that I knew would bind me forever to the man I loved.

"Edward Cullen, I love you. And I can't wait for you to be a father to our son. Yes, with everything that I am, I will marry you." I launched myself at him, attacking him and we went for another round.

We got up, Bella wearing my mother's wedding ring on her left hand, and I thought of a problem.

"Bella?" I aske.d

She looked at me stunned, "You aren't getting cold feet already are you?"

Silly girl.

"No. But question. Are you going to become a vampire with a young son? You know that can't happen and I know your aversion to getting older."

"Oh! I thought of that. I figure he is going to be a teenager in ten years. At that point, he won't be that much younger than you and I will be thirty five, which isn't great, but better than anything we can come up with at this point. Then, we will tell him what we can, and he will have to make a choice. He can become one too, which I would never force on him, or he can live with Charlie. He would know that we would talk to him and I would see him whenever I was...able."

I hated this. I hated making her choose.

"Bella..."

"No, you see, he loves vampires. He will think this is cool. And, frankly, he has seen me cry so many times over the years he will probably be so happy that I am happy. And what fifteen year old boy wouldn't want his mom out of his hair." She joked.

It still worried me but I smiled. I knew, no matter what happened, it was going to be okay. In her eyes, everything would be okay. And so, everything would be okay.
