ANSWER TO QUESTIONS!!!!!!

Q- Will Carlisle and Esme get a divorce?

A- A few people asked me this and I will be truthful... I really don't know what I am going to do. I think that I am leaning towards no because if they were to get a divorce Carlisle would be out of the story and I love him too much to do that.

BPOV

Edward and I somehow managed to stay in school and manage jobs at the same time.

When we got back to the campus alot of arrangements had to be made. The bills were now being sent to the apartment we now rented. I said a tearfull goodbye to my hyper roomate and my other friends. I would miss having extra time to spend with them. That extra time was spent working at the campus coffee shop, it paid the my bills.

Edward got a job working in one of the dorm buildings. He gave out keys to people who lost theirs and collected mail. He said it was an easy, boring job that paid well.

When we first rented the apartment money was alright, I regret that Edward had to dip into his money that his deceased grandfather gave him, but we had to do what we had to do.

We bought the most needed furniture which was a bed, dresser, small couch. There were a few other things but furniture was the most part. We had obviously used a few things that we bought for our dorms, such as a microwave and a television.

Food didn't fill our fridge completely but we barely had time to get in a meal let alone buy food from the grocery store.

We haven't heard one word from our parents, except Esme who called once a week to see how we were. She was really bending over for us.

Currently we were on Christmas break and Edward and I were on break from working since both of our jobs consisted of working on campus. We had money for this months rent so there was nothing to worry about.

Today was Christmas and Edward was helping me in the kitchen. We were preparing a small turkey, mashed potatoes, candied sweet potatoes and green beans. The turkey was cooking in the oven and the cut potatoes for mashed potatoes were boiling. Green beans were in the microwave, but not being cooked yet because it was to early, and the sweet potatoes were also being boiled to soften.

Edward and I were sitting on the small loveseat in the small living room, watching an episode of CSI- NY. We sat next to eachother, holding hands and leaning on one another. Edward trailed kisses up and down my neck, making shivers run down my spine.

" You'd better stop." I warned playfully.

" And why would I do such a thing?"

I stood up and looked at him, running a single finger down his chest. He went to grab me but I stood back.

" Not now, food is in the oven. You're a bad boy." I stated

He smirked at me as I skipped into the kitchen, making sure that everything was being prepared correctly. When I thought things were fine I walked back to the living room and sat with Edward. He grabbed my waist when I was about to sit down and perched me in his lap.

" Are you ever going to cut your hair. It's almost down to your ass."

I smacked his arm and ran a hand through my hair, it was at my hips again.

" Do you not like it long?"

He smiled " I love it long. I just don't want it to fall into the toliet."

My jaw dropped.

" Your such a fucking jerk, you know that?"

He laughed humorously " I was kidding, love."

" I'll get it cut soon."

Edward grabbed onto my hair and pulled my head back.

" What the he-"

He turned his head and pressed his lips to mine, loosening his hold on my hair as I melted into him. I flipped my body over to I was laying on him. His chest pressed against mine. I rested my hands on his neck as I continued to kiss him.

I tucked a stray hair behind my ear and parted my lips, Edward parted his and we deepened our kiss. He took my tongue between his lips and sucked it into his mouth. It felt weird for a moment but I started to like it as he sucked my tongue harder.

Our heated kiss was interupted by Edward's cell phone ringing. He broke away from me and I immediatly protested.

" No!" I all but shouted at him.

" We'll continue this later." he told me as he answered his phone.

I groaned and ran my hand through his hair.

" Hello... Oh, hi mom. Merry Christmas to you, too." Edward said happily.

" Yeah, she is. Here."

Edward handed me the phone and I put it to my ear.

" Merry Christmas, Esme." I sang into the phone.

" Merry Christmas to you, too, dear. How are you?"

" Good, everything is alright."

" Alright. May I speak to, Edward?"

I handed the phone over to Edward and he took it. I rested my head on his neck and closed my eyes as he spoke to his mom. I must of fell asleep because his voice got more quiet with each passing minute.

My sleep was peaceful, quiet for once. I wasn't plagued by a nightmare. When I awoke I was still laying on Edward's chest. His hand was rubbing the small of my back and he was looking down at me.

" Have a nice nap?" he questioned.

I let out a tired moan " Yeah. How long was I out?"

" About an hour and a half. The food is fine."

" How do you know?" I asked, about to stand.

He kissed my forehead and went off to the kitchen. He came back moments later with a I-told-you-so look.

I giggled and Edward wormed his way behind my body. He spooned me and put his head on the side of my neck.

We laid down and watched television for awhile until I had to start cooking the green beans, mashing the mashed potatoes and put the sweet potatoes in the oven with marshmellows. Edward let me go and assisted me in the kitchen.

He cut the tiny turkey and dug out the wishbone, setting it on the counter to dry. He cut it and set it on a plate. I put the green beans on the small dinner table and put some salt, pepper and sour cream in the mashed potatoes and mixed it all together. I put it in a nice bowl and set it on the table. After taking the sweet potatoes I sat that on the table and we sat down.

" Thanks for dinner, sweetheart." Edward said with a kiss on my lips.

" You helped." I stated as I scooped the mashed potatoes on my plate.

" You made it good though."

I rolled my eyes and finished making my plate. The turkey was cooked to perfection and the mashed potatoes were perfectly smooth.

Edward forked a peice of the sweet potato onto his fork and held it towards me.

" You have got to try this."

" I've never eaten them before. I made them for you."

" Humor me."

I opened my mouth and he brought the fork to my lips. I closed my mouth around it and pulled back. They were really good, better then I thought. When I was younger my mom would only boil them and then set them on the table. My grandmother taught me how to make candied ones before she passed.

" That is really good." I said.

He nodded and ate more. We chatted about random topics whilst we ate and when we finish we made sure to put every leftover in containers and bags. When we finished we walked back into the living room, it was dark outside and the only light in the room was from the colorful lights on the Christmas tree. There were few ornaments hanging on the tree, but it was still nice. There were a few presents under the tree. Edward and I both bought eachother gifts. He claimed he wanted nothing, but I got him a few things anyways.

I got him a few new books for school and then a wrapped envelope that was on one of them that held a paper.

Edward obviously didn't have a piano, the one he used at his old home belonged to Carlisle. It wasn't going to be here yet but I had bought him one, agreeing that I would pay a hundred dollars a month to pay it off. There fifteen payments that had to be made. It was a black grand piano, I had seen it in person and immediatly jumped on it.

I was able to afford it for everyone so I figured, why not. I knew Edward would be over the moon about it and we had room for it in the apartment somewhere.

" Want to exchange gifts?" he asked

I nodded and dragged him by the tree, we sat next to eachother and placed on anothers gifts in our laps. Edward opened his slowly, smiling with each new gift. I opened my slowly, there was a few t-shirts from hot topic that I wanted, but the most important shirt was the one he made me.

It was black and it had a picture of a punk Mickey Mouse, in the corner of the picture it said ' I wanna rock!". Mickey was also making the rock signal with his hand. I laughed loudly and turned to Edward.

" Wow, baby. You get more creative each time."

He smiled and kissed my cheek. He held up the envelope. After unwrapping it he stared at it, completely confused. I encouraged him to open it and he did. The paper was the shipment information of the piano, the price was not on it though.

When he took the paper out he stared at it for a few minutes, an unreadable expression on his face. After a minute he spoke.

" You've got to be shitting me." he said.

I didn't know whether to take that as a good sign, or bad.

" If you don't like it then I can just cancel the order. It's fine really." I said quietly.

" Are you kidding me. Bella... that is the best gift you could ever give me, besides yourself."

I smiled and he took me in his arms

" I have no idea what I did to deserve you." he whispered lovingly into my ear.

He showered kisses all over my face and picked me up, setting me on the couch next to him. I draped the blankets over our laps and Edward dug into his pocket nervously and I stared at him.

" What are you doing?"

After a deep breath he pulled something out of his pocket he looked at me, but I didn't look at him. Instead, I looked at his hand and what he was holding. He was holding two light blue boxes with white ribbons. He handed me the bigger one and I opened it nervously. After I untied the ribbon I opened the box. Inside was a sterling silver charm bracelet. I picked it up carefully and examined it. There was a heart charm that had ' I love you' engraved into it everywhere. Next to it was a silver snowflake charm.

I gave Edward a bright smile and kissed his lips softly. " You really didn''t have to." I told him.

His knuckle brushed my cheekbone " I wanted to."

I handed it to him and he clasped it on for me. When it came to the other box he took the ribbon off and held it. This box was smaller. I was nervous because I had no idea what else it could of been. He already bought me a beautiful bracelet.

I held the box in shaky hands and Bella watched me with curiousity. I knew what I wanted to say I just needed words to come out of my mouth.

" Bella... I can't exactly put into words how much I really do love you. In the beginning, when I first met you, I was scared of going against my parents. But being with you, having moments like these, make it worth it. I've lost my dad, but I knew that through it all, you were always there. I know they think we don't belong and that they all say it's just... wrong. But how can it be wrong when it feels so right to me? What I'm trying to say is... Isabella Marie Swan, I promise to love you forever, every single day of forever. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife an marrying me?"

I opened the box, nestled into the fabric was a princess cut diamond with a white gold band. She gasped and stared at the ring wide- eyed.

I stayed still and quiet as did she. I knew that this was going to be a huge thing if we did get married. But I wanted her to be mine. Maybe nineteen was young to some, but it sounded just fine to me.

Bella bit her lip before looking up at me and nodding just the slightest.

" Use your words." I encouraged.

" Yes, Edward.I would be honored to be your wife."

Those ten words made my heart soar. I took the ring out of the box and slid it onto her left ring finger. She launched herself into my arms, knocking the box off my lap. I pressed a kiss to her lips and she kissed me back sweetly, wrapping her arms around my waist tightly.

After a moment she pulled back and examined the ring fully.

" Do you like it? I mean I know it's not much but I didn't really have the money..."

" It's perfect, Edward. Don't be silly."

I stared into her beautiful brown pools.

" You realize that we will have nobody to attend our wedding?"

" Let's elope! Just go to Vegas and get married. It doesn't matter if we have a huge ceremony or not, I just want you to belong to me and me to you."

She stared at me " Your crazy."

I stood up and pulled her up next to me " I'm serious, Bella."

Her arms wrapped around my neck and she gave me a breathtaking smile.

" Not that I don't love your idea, but... How about if we just have a small ceremony in the park by the fountain or something. We can get a pastor and it'll just be us. You can get a tux and I'll find a dress of some sort."

I couldn't believe that he asked me to marry him. It didn't even dawn on me that he would of asked that.

I knew awhile ago that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Edward. He was the one that I wanted, the one that I loved and the one I wanted to spend eternity with.

He wanted to elope, but I knew that if we did; one of us would regret it. I suggested a small wedding, in the park, just us and a pastor to marry us. Edward pondered the thought for a moment before his crooked smile broke out onto his face.

" You know what? That sounds absolutely perfect to me and I want you to get a wedding gown. Not just a dress."

" Edward, I don't think-"

" Bella, please just humor me. I want us to have the experiance, even if nobody is there but just us."

I smiled at him " Deal... If you help me pick it out."

He sighed " Fine."

" Well I don't want to go alone!" I exclaimed.

Edward smiled and kissed my nose sweetly. He set me down on my feet and I held his hand, skipping towards the bedroom. I opened the bedroom door and dragged him towards the silver and black bed.

I pushed him down on the bed and started to undo his belt.

" Whoa there. Eager today?"

I tossed his belt and jeans off, then he pulled his shirt off. I stripped my jeans and sweater off and he was about to lean in and kiss me when I curled against his chest and placed a kiss where his heart is.

He seemed to realize that I just wanted to cuddle and put an arm around my bare waist, and one hand ran through my hair. My eyelids seemed to get heavier with each passing moment.

" Sleep, beautiful. I love you."

I mumbled an 'I love you' to him and let sleep consume me.

Authors Note- Personally, I love this chapter. It was just sweet. Engagement ring in profile, along with the bracelet and snowflake charm.
