I've gotten every major thing planned out of this story. I know how it ends, and I know all the bad things that happen that keep it interesting. MUHAHAHAAHA!
AND WARNING: Really short chapter. I wanted this one to be a filler chapter, settle some things between Edward and Bella so I can move on with some things in the story. No Bella baby shower in this chapter. Just the conversation between the two characters.

Love - a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker.
Lets recap shall we:
After everyone left, Edward pulled me into a hug. "I am so sorry for being weird earlier."
"It is okay love." I looked up at him and smiled, resting my chin on his chest.
Edward cupped my cheek and bent down to kiss me. It wasn't a kiss enveloped in desire, but a passionate kiss filled with love.
"I think we should talk about what had me in a funk, if you don't mind." Edward looked at me with his deep green eyes.
My heart immediately started beating at a ridiculously fast pace as my mind started to wonder. What was he thinking? What had him acting all weird? I trust him, but what if he cheated on me? I doubted that one but I am still insecure. What if he wasn't wanting to do this anymore? I loved him with my whole heart, and I don't know if I could watch him walk away from me. It is really different when your the one who gets heart broken unwillingly. I took a deep breath to calm my self, and with false confidence I spoke.
"I don't mind at all. Lets go talk."
Edward sat on our love seat, head bowed and fiddling with his fingers. I paced back and forth between the chair and the entertainment center right in front of him Edward's expression was fearful, like he was anticipating my reaction to whatever was going to come out of his mouth. With the growing silence and him being reluctant to talk, I was starting to fear the worst.
"Well?" I broke the awkward silence, more then ready to get the conversation over with.
Edward lifted his head to look at me, and sighed. "This may sound dumb, but something you said earlier got me thinking." He paused, looking back down at his feet. "About 'not making a habit out of the pregnancy.' I was just wondering if you were not wanting any more kids."
I chuckled lightly, relieved that was all he was thinking.
"Honestly Edward, I haven't thought much about having more kids right now. I just would like to focus on raising Rayne right now, and focus on us. As of now, I am not ready to have more kids. But that doesn't mean I'll never be want more." I explained my thoughts to him.
Edward looked back up from his hands and grinned. "Good. I was just afraid it was a solid no. I do agree with you, work on us and focus on our son."
I nodded in agreement.
"Was that all, or did you need to ask me something else?" I asked him, noticing his still nervous posture.
"Well." he ran his hands through his hair.
"Yeah, actually." Edward admitted. "Were you still wanting to marry me?"
Crap. I thought to myself.
This is the conversation I was dreading to have. It was hard for me to accept Edward proposal at first.
::FLASHBACK::
It was really cold outside, but that was not abnormal for Washington. Edward and I were walking along Franklin Falls. It was beyond beautiful here, the trees were a rich green color and the water fall was spectacular and peaceful. We had just gotten done hanging out with the gang at the bar and Edward had brought me here.
"I just wasn't ready to end tonight." Edward broke the silence. "It has been a wonderful night, everyone I love together. Spending time in this beautiful park, with you."
I smiled up at Edward. My breath, and words were taken away from me with the way the night has gone. This was one of the best nights of my life. I leaned up on my tippy toes, coasting my hand through Edward's hair, and kissed him with as much passion as I could.
"This is perfect Edward. I love you." I spoke as I broke away from the kiss.
Edward groaned and looked up at me with the most indescribable expression. "I had planned a day out to do this, but this moment is far to perfect to ignore."
He dropped down on one knee and pulled out a navy blue box. "Bella, I can not imagine my life without you by my side. You are the most magnificent and extraordinary woman I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I would love nothing more then to call you my wife. Bella, will you marry me?"
My heart stopped beating. I had not expected this at all. I loved Edward, but I never in my wildest dreams saw myself being a wife or a mother. If I had someone to do it with I would do it with Edward. But I had no Idea if I would be good at it, or if we would succeed.
"Oh no. Edward I was not prepared for this at all. I don't know what to say. I have to think about it. I am not going to lie, I am scared as hell. I don't want to loose you but I don't want us to fail like my parents." I turned away from him, tears threatening to reveal my crumbling resolve.
"Isabella, we will go as slow as you want, long engagement, so you can get used to it. I just don't want anyone else besides you. I want to love you forever, protect you forever, and raise a family with you." Edward got off of his knees and walked over to me, pulling me in a hug. "I am scared too Bells, but you are worth taking the risk. Every stressfull moment, every fight, every celebration. I want it only with you."
I took a deep breath. I felt all those things to, and I never wanted to loose Edward. I had all those things with him, just adding a ring and some vows wouldn't change our love, only solidify it. "Alright. I'll marry you Edward. But I will warn you, I am scared, and may try to run sometimes. You are going to have to be prepared for that, and willing to fight for us."
"I'll always be more then willing to fight for you. For us." Edward smiled. "So, your my fiance?"
"Yeah, I guess so." I chuckled.
"Yes, I still want to spend the rest of my life with you Edward." I sighed. "I just don't want to add any stress to our lives right now. Maybe after our son is born we can talk more about marriage."
Edward sighed again. "Thank God. I would cry like a baby if you had changed your mind."
I laughed out loud at his statement. "In the words of Emmett. 'You are a pussy.'"
Edward looked at me offended. "How dare you! Your going to pay for that."
I ran as Edward flew off of the couch to attack me. He caught up with me in the hall way, grabbed my wrist and spun me around while he pinned me against the wall, leaning away from my belly. Edward smashed his lips against my in a rushed passion. Our lips danced together in an intense tango for what seemed like eternity.
"Bella, I don't care if this makes me sound like a pussy or if it makes me sound whipped. You are my world. And our son is my world. The fact that you are carrying my son, drives me wild." Edward bent down to look at me. His eyes dark and full of desire.
I simply smiled at him, and kissed him softly. "Good, cause you and Rayne light up my world. Seriously."
Edward smiled big. "Good. So our baby shower is tomorrow, are you excited?"
"Actually no, I don't want any of the attention. And I sure as hell don't want anyone measuring my belly. I don't want to feel any larger then I do."
"Bella, don't be silly. You look beyond wonderful. Not to mention we are getting free stuff for the baby!" Edward said excitedly. "knowing my sister, after our gift, she will give something of equal price."
"Great." I rolled my eyes. "At least it is not for me, I am okay with my son getting attention."
Edward chuckled. "I am sure you are."
Edward and I stood for a moment, hugging and appreciating being content with our life. My eyes started to feel heavy after a while, and I stifled a yawn.
"Lets go to bed." Edward said as he pulled me along to our bedroom.
I was out before I could even manage a coherent thought.
Sorry for such a short chapter. I just wanted to get this part of it out and done. I wrote part of it at work.
I am going to try to get another chapter out by tomorrow. I want to make things up for updating rather late.
Mainly a superficial chapter. I realize not a whole lot was going on, Edward and Bella just needed to work a few things out, and I wanted you to be able to see how their conversation went VS. Telling you how it went.
You got to see how Edward proposed. I thought it was sweet. All he did was pour his heart out. All a guy should really do IMO. I wouldn't want a guy to jump through hoops to propose to me.
Alrighty guys, I'd love some reviews. Tell me you love me. Tell me this sucked. Everything is welcomed. The good. The bad. The ugly.
Review review review.
I might just give you an update tomorrow if I get enough motivation!!
