Dedicated

Previously:

She could feel a pain pulling her from the darkness, could hear Edward speaking, and suddenly she was on fire. Her hands wanted to claw at herself to get the fire off of her but she couldn't move. She opened her mouth, gasping for air but getting no relief. In anguish, and burning from the inside out, she let the pain overtake her.

--

She awoke in confusion.

Her eyes flittered across the room landing on a hundred different things at once, each evoking different thoughts and emotions. The fluttering of thoughts only seemed to confuse her more.

Hearing a noise behind her she jumped to her feet pressing her back to the wall and looking for the source. Her eyes met those of Edwards and she felt her posture relax slightly.

"Edward," she stated tenderly.

"How are you feeling?" he asked softly.

"Confused," Bella replied shrugging "really really confused, there are so many different things to process."

"You will get used to it." Edward replied "It's a different way than you are used to thinking."

She nodded her head, quickly diverting her attention to a picture on the wall.

"Where are we?" Bella asked her head whipping back and forth as she looked around the room.

"We're at one of our cabins." Edward replied "We thought it would be best to take you away from civilization for awhile until we see how you can adjust to everything."

Bella nodded softly contemplating something for a moment before lifting her hand up and stretching it out towards him, touching his hand with her fingertips.

"We feel the same now." Bella stated looking up at him and smiling.

"We do." Edward replied slowly reaching his arms out and pulling her into a hug. "Are you thirsty?"

Bella contemplated his question for a moment before responding with an "I don't think so."

His brow furrowed for a moment as he looked at her before nodding his head in acknowledgement.

"What happened?" Bella asked trying to think back "I don't remember, everything seems kind of hazy and I just want to know what changed your mind."

"You were in a car accident and Charlie was pulling you off of respiratory life support." Edward looked away for a moment and Bella could see each different emotion pass on his face. "I love you, Bella, always. I couldn't imagine what my life would be like without you and I didn't want to. Living without you made both of us miserable and this was the only way for us to be together."

Bella quickly processed everything that he was saying before she looked up at him frowning. "So you did it because you had to." She pulled away from him turning to look out the window into the Forest.

"I did it because I love you." Edward replied placing his hands on her arms and turning her around to look at him. "Not because I had to but because it was the only way. I love you, Bella; with all of my heart I love you."

He gripped her face, forcing her to look at him as her eyes trailed around the room.

"Bella, look at me." Edward stated softly "Do you love me?"

"Yes," Bella replied softly confusion still present on her face.

"Then that is all that matters, I couldn't lose you again Bella. I just couldn't." He ran his hand through his hair for a moment before looking at the door and smiling softly.

"Wait your turn Alice," Bella stated hearing the noise outside the door and causing everyone to chuckle. She was amazed by how clear everything was, how easily it was to hear every minute detail.

"Bella, do you want to be together forever?" Edward asked.

"Yes," Bella replied tenderly.

"Then marry me." Edward stated reaching into his pocket and pulling out a box, flicking it open so she could see the ring.

She smiled and could hear Alice squealing in the hallway and being held back by someone causing her to laugh.

"Yes." Bella answered bringing her attention back to Edward. "Yes, I will marry you."

He slipped the ring on her finger and then gently ran his thumb across the three square diamonds, before looking up at her, his face glowing.

She took an unneeded breath and noticed that her eyes were stinging. Bringing her fingers up she laughed when she noticed there were no tears.

"It feels weird," Edward stated his voice full of emotion "but you get used to not being able to cry."

She nodded her head sheepishly for a moment before leaning in and placing a not so gentle kiss on his lips. She wrapped her arms around him and into his hair and he pulled back after a moment smirking.

"Careful, love."

She chuckled softly before responding "sorry."

"We're going to be together forever!" Bella stated softly as she tenderly ran her fingers along his face marveling at how it felt to her new skin.

"Forever." Edward replied.

Bella continued to gently trace the features of his face and thought about the fact that she would never have to go another day without seeing him, without seeing his eyes, his face, without kissing his lips.

She leaned in and placed another kiss on his lips before pulling back and smiling at him softly.

"You can come in now, Alice."

A/N- I'm back! So I'm debating on where to go with this story (I have a few ideas anyway) and I want your guys' opinion…

What do you want to see happen? What do you hope happens?

For those of you who have been asking… I haven't forgotten about my Twilight story Currently Untitled I am just trying to figure out where I want the story to go… so look for an update on that soon!

Dedications:

To all of you who were rooting for another marriage proposal (one done right)...
