EPOV
I slipped the card quickly into the reader on our door. I wrapped my free arm around Bella's waist as I led her into our room. I let the door glide shut with a soft click before latching the lock so we had no interruptions. I turned Bella in my arms and took her face gently between my hands. I ghosted my lips over hers to simply indulge myself in her. No matter how much I was with her it simply never felt like enough. I wanted to breath her in, taste her, touch her always. She was my air, water, and sustenance wrapped up in the beautiful creature that stood before me. This woman who in five months would be bringing our child into this world that we would raise together.
I brought my hand up to cup the back of her head as the other grazed across my favorite piece of Bella as of late, her growing belly. I broke my lips away from hers and left kisses on her chin and nose. "I love you Isabella Swan." I whispered into her skin. I wasn't sure why I felt the need to whisper. Something about the atmosphere in the room that I just didn't want to break. Something about this moment just spoke to me. There was no huge show. Just the two of us. Something so right about it. Something so us.
Bella whispered her love in return just as I covered her mouth back with mine. Before I could even think of my next move Bella surprisingly pulled away from our kiss first.
"Excuse me Miss Swan, I wasn't finished with those lips yet." I was only half serious.
"Well Mr. Cullen I'm hoping you'll never be finished with them. But that's not the point right now. Right now you need to go relax on the couch, put your feet up." I looked at her like she was positively delirious. Did she seriously think sitting on the couch with my feet up away from her is how I wanted to spend my night? That I would actually be able to relax like that? I had been warned by my dad about this whole pregnancy forgetting things brain but this was just ridiculous. I was just about to show her how much I didn't like her idea when she shuffled out of the cage of my arms and moved out of my reach. I think I may have even growled my dislike to her before she placed a hand on my chest effectively halting my advancement on her.
"Stop right there Mr. WonderPeen."
Mr. WonderPeen? Yeah she even said it almost with a straight face.
"I have a surprise but I need to go slip in the bedroom first I'll let you know when its clear." With that she left me with a chaste kiss and disappeared into the bedroom portion of our suite. I wasn't sure what she may have up her sleeve but I knew it must be good. So I wouldn't dare ruin it. So I did exactly as she requested toed off my shoes before collapsing on the couch in the sitting room with my feet propped up on the table before me.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't a bit excited and a bit nervous for what ever she may have planned. Our sex life was great and I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world but my mind still began to drift with all the possibilities of what may have been going on behind that door. Also how it may affect what I myself wanted to do. I dug into the inner pocket of my jacket and pulled out the little black box I had stashed there after my talk with Jasper.
I began pacing the room thinking what would be the best way to go about this while flipping the box around in my fingers. Should I wait outside the door on one knee with the ring out? Or stand there until she opens it and then drop down before her? Or what about sweeping her into my arms and just slipping it onto her finger? No that one defiantly wouldn't work on the off chance she did reject me I don't think I could stand to watch her take the ring back off. I decided on waiting in the middle of the room for her to come to me and then I would drop down.
Hmm what else? Candles maybe?
As I began looking around the room wondering if I might just luck out and find some sitting around the room, my eyes glanced at the clock and realized it had been over thirty minutes since Bella had walked into the bedroom. I stopped my inner monologue as I stopped outside the door and listened for any sounds coming from the other side of the door. I lightly tapped once. Nothing. I tapped a bit harder. I was beginning to worry. What if she had fell? Sure I hadn't heard any noises but I had also been so wrapped up in my own musings, I may have missed it. I tried the knob and was grateful to find it was unlocked. I slowly opened the door afraid of what I would find on the other side of the door.
"Bella, love is everyth-"
My words caught in my throat. Nothing could have prepared me for what was laid out on the other side of that door. The entire room was aglow for what seemed like hundreds of candles lite on every flat surface. There was flower petals tossed across the floor and bed. There was a path that my eyes slowly followed. My breath hitched as it met the end of it. It was like finding my own pot of gold at the end of a really nice rainbow.
There kneeling on the ground was the most beautiful woman in the world. She had on a knee length deep blue night gown. Her hair was in loose curls all around her face. With the glow from the candles she looked like my very own personal angel. I took a few steps just inside of the door as my eyes found hers.
"Bella?"
"First of all excuse the fact I'm kneeling with this damn belly, its hard to do the whole one knee thing." I think I made some sort of gasp. I really couldn't tell you what it was since all I could do was simply try to focus all my attention on the words that were coming out of the angel before mes mouth. "Bella whats goin-?" She held up a hand halting my speech.
"Let me get this out." I held up my palms to show her I surrendered. She took a deep breath.
"I know we have a lot to learn about one another. I know things won't always be good. We're gonna fight we're gonna disagree...but when I think..." She gasped in a breath like she was trying to hold in her tears. "But when I think of my life with out you in it, I want to take all the bad in the world if it means I get one min of the good with you. What I'm trying to say..."
The tears began falling freely now for the both of us. My legs brought me in front of her as my knees gave out until I was on the floor in front of her. "There's a reason girls don't do this." Bella half sobbed and half laughed. I took one of her hands in mine and used my other to nudge her chin up so I was looking into her eyes. "Then let me?" I pleaded.
I brought my hand to my pocket and brought out the box I had been holding on to till it rested between us.
"Bella you know my history, you know I drifted around in this world so completely lost before I met you. From the first time I laid eyes on you, you snatched my heart and grounded me. I want to spend the rest of our lives paying you back for all you have given to me. I want to spend the rest of my life showing you all the love that you deserve in this world. I want to grow old with you and all of our children. I want to be 80 years old on the porch of our house in Forks surrounded by all of our grandchildren yelling at each other over our hearing aids." That one earned a laugh through the tears. "I love you Bella Swan. Your the mother to my first child and hopefully many more in the future. Will you do me the greatest honor and become my wife?"
I clicked open the box and the echo in the silent room caught her attention. Her hands covered her mouth as she took it in. I took the ring out of the box with remarkably steady hands. I held it in the space between us awaiting her answer. She looked at the ring, then me, before her hand came down to rest on her stomach where she gently rubbed. I realized I wasn't breathing as I awaited her answer. Her face was unreadable as she murmured what sounded like"stupid boy stealing our moment". She leaned and spoke to her belly before smiling the most glorious smile I have ever seen.
"We say yes." she whispered so low I wasn't sure if I just imagined it.
My mouth dropped as I finally breathed. "Yes?" I had to be sure.
She chuckled at me. "Yes Edward Cullen we'll become your ball and chain you silly boy."
I immediately crushed my lips to hers as I slid the ring onto her finger. Perfect fit. I took her face in between my hands and kissed her softly but just as passionately as ever. "Thank you...kiss...Thank you...kiss...thank you"
I pulled back to take her in. You couldn't pull the shit eating grin off my face if you killed me.
"Were you really gonna propose to me?" She silently nodded her head in my hands. "Do I get a ring too?" I smirked at her.
She pulled one of her hands up and in it laid a black box that she popped open.
"Will you put it on?" I asked her before she giggled and slipped it on my finger. She laid a kiss upon it as it settled into place like it was meant to be there.
"Oh...someones happy." She giggled.
I immediately scooted my body backwards until I could bend over and be even with my loves tummy.
"What do you think little one? Are just as happy as I am mommy finally said yes?" Suddenly a huge thump could be seen as it came from the inside of Bella's stomach and thumped me square in the nose. "Hey watch it!" Bella chuckled above me. "You are so screwed Cullen. She's gonna have you wrapped around her little finger."
I rose up until my mouth was a breath away from her's. "Well ...future Mrs. Cullen...I wouldn't have it any other way." I kissed her deeply before letting my lips linger on hers.
I groaned in a whisper as thoughts began bombarding my head. "Were gonna have to make phone calls."
"Alice"
"My mom"
"My dad, speaking of which you get to make that call since you probably should have asked him before hand. Hes gonna shoot your man meat off. Good thing we've already made a kid." she giggled in the air between us patting said kid.
I couldn't help smiling against her lips." Done."
Her eyes widened as she backed up and looked my in the eyes. "You asked him?"
"Yup. Months ago and he gave me his blessing."
She looked like she had a million questions. "Love can phone calls wait till tomorrow?" I gently asked her. "I would really like to get off this floor and get in that bed and consummate my engagement with my future wife.""
Bella grinned while biting on her lip and nodding. I swiftly gathered her body off the floor and laid her on the bed. I nuzzled my nose into hers. I love you's were the only sounds that could be heard in the room.
As we consummated our engagement... twice... that night, I could not be happier to be in our little bubble. Me and her. Her and me. Our family was truly about to begin.
The rest of the world could wait till tomorrow.
THE END?
C/N:That's it! That's all! The whole she bang. I know some may not like my ending but I felt it was appropriate. In doing it this way I was able to leave it open for outtakes epilogues or maybe even the sequel that currently finds itself bouncing around in my head. Anyone wanna see mommy and daddy Cullen? Come on everyone likes to see Edward go through lamaze classes and childbirth! Well see what happens. I wont post complete on this story quite yet.
A/N: Make sure to add me to author alerts. I'll begin posting my new story "Second Chance at Life" hopefully next week. Make sure to add me on Twitter I would love to hear from you. Find me at PunkFox825
