Chapter 20
BPOV
After Edward had regained his memory, he and I sat in the meadow together talking until something crossed my mind. "Oh, my God!" I jumped up.
I saw him tense up protectively. "What is it, love?" He asked in a low protective voice.
I took hold of his hand and pulled him to his feet. I took off, towing him behind me. "It's nothing bad, Edward." I said, soothing his worries. "I just have to tell Esme you remembered."
His tone was surprised. "She remembered before me, too?" He asked.
We stopped at his Volvo. All of a sudden, Edward spun me around and pulled the chain off over my head.
"According to the timeline, I haven't done this yet." He muttered. I felt my eyes get larger as he slid down onto one knee. He grabbed my hand. "Isabella Marie Swan, you are the love of my life, and I can't bear to spend another minute without being tied to you. Will you marry me?"
I smiled so brightly, I can't believe Edward didn't look away because it hurt his eyes. If I were human there would be tears of happiness rolling down my cheeks. "Yes." I whispered.
He returned my smile as he slowly got up off his knee. "Say it again." He said.
"Yes." I said much louder. "Yes, yes, yes!" I said, letting myself get lost in the emotions of the moment.
Edward kissed my, so much more passionately than I thought was possible. I returned it eagerly.
"You don't know how good it feels to hear that again." He said in a low, husky voice.
I giggled. "Oh, I think I have a pretty good guess."
He pushed me against the car gently, as if he didn't want to hurt me.
Before we got too carried away, I said, "Okay, I think it's time to go tell Esme." against his lips.
He sighed and pulled away about an inch. "But, we just got back together." He groaned.
I shook my head. "Hey, she's been my savior for the past week or so. I owe it to her to tell her."
"Fine." He said, seeing my logic. I smiled triumphantly and climbed into the passenger side of the car.
Edward got in right after closing my door for me. He promptly took my hand and held onto it tightly.
I thought about how much had changed for me in the last few hours and realized how lucky I was that Edward remembered when he did. When I thought back over the last couple of days, I could see that I was in a complete downward spiral, which would have only gotten worse.
Before I knew it, we were back at his house. He once again opened my door for me and helped me out. "Thank you." I murmured, climbing out of the car.
We walked into the house, where it was oddly silent. "Where is everyone?" I asked.
His eyebrows drew together. "According to Carlisle thoughts, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett are out hunting, Alice made them vacate the house for us."
I let a breath out that I didn't realize I had been holding. "So Esme's here." I stated.
"Yes, I am, darling!" I heard her call from upstairs.
I smiled and grabbed Edward's hand. We both ran up the stairs and stopped at Esme's room. I knocked at the door excitedly.
"Come in." She said from inside.
Edward quickly opened the door and I rushed inside and jumped on the bed where Esme was lying, reading a book. I hugged her tightly.
"Bella, Edward, what's going on?" She asked as I was still clinging to her.
I let go and rushed back to Edward's side. "He remembers everything, Esme! Everything!" I said. I knew I was acting overly hyper, but this time called for it.
She widened her eyes. "Are you serious?" She asked, astounded.
"Yes!" I cried, giving Edward a kiss on the cheek.
A huge smile came over her face. She got up and gave a big hug to both of us. "That's great, you two. What finally made him recall everything?" She asked after she took a step back.
Edward's arm snaked around my waist. "My human mother's wedding ring." I held my hand out for her to look at.
"And let me guess, he just proposed to you again?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
Edward nodded slowly. "How did you know that?"
She smiled and shook her head. "Well I know you so well, and she's wearing in on her ring finger, so I just knew."
I looked at Edward and he gazed back lovingly into my eyes. We stood there for a moment, the three of us just basking in the moment.
Esme cleared her throat. "Just a warning, you do know that Alice will have seen this, and she thinks you two have been dating since yesterday…."
Edward snapped his eyes shut. "Your right." He groaned. "What are we going to say to everyone else?"
I looked from Edward to Esme and saw she didn't know what to do either. "We have to figure something out." I stated the obvious.
Edward took my hand and slid the ring off of my finger.
"Hey!" I protested. He just shook his head at me.
"If we want this to work, you can't be going around with this on. Let's just tell Alice her vision never happened if comes up. I'll say I was imagining what I would do if I were to propose you then, but I never actually did it."
"Okay." I said at the same time as Esme said, "Sounds like a plan."
Esme smiled again, this time it was more motherly than anything else. "Well, children, go enjoy each other's company. I'll be here if you need anything."
Edward and I agreed and we left the room promptly.
We went straight to his room, where I suggested we did some homework, since I was way behind.
"That's probably a good idea." Edward agreed. "I haven't done any in a while."
After he finished helping me with my calculus, we got to talking about the past week.
"So I do have a question…" I stated hesitantly.
"Go on." He prompted me.
I said, "What was up with all of the head twitching?"
His eyebrows drew together. "What do you mean?" He asked in a tone that was clearly confused.
I sighed. "Well, every once in a while you would space out and your head would twitch… what was up with that?"
He laughed. "Oh. Well, when ever I saw something that reminded me of our time together, before it was rewound, I would see it in my head. Like, yesterday, when I stormed out of the room before I kissed you, I saw when I left you last September. That's what changed my mind."
I smiled. "Did you think you were going insane?" I teased.
He gave me his infamous crooked smile back. "Just a bit…. Okay, I was this close to going to Carlisle about it."
I laughed at the same time as a door slammed down stairs. I quickly shut my self up and looked at Edward for help. He just shrugged.
We both winced when Alice said from right outside of Edward's bed room door, "Edward, Bella, why are you two getting married already?"
