SM OWNS. NOT BETA'D.

Well, this is it folks. The last chapter.

Prompt: NONE.

Bella

.

I step out of the rented SUV and while Edward takes our bags, I take in the view.

Holy shit, I've never seen anything like this.

When he mentioned he was planning to take me to his cabin in Colorado for a week's vacation after I finished my last education course, I thought quaint little log cabin.

This is not quaint.

This is six thousand square feet of glass and cedar, perched on a hill overlooking the slopes. It's a winter wonderland.

I'm looking around for the Disney animatronics and music piped through fake boulders.

But no, this is all real.

"This is your cabin?" I ask as he walks ahead of us towards the steps.

"Yeah. I bought this with my parents' help when I scored my first big client a couple years ago. We rent it out the rest of the year. You like it?" He asks, turning towards me and setting the bags down on the porch. His hopeful look always makes me want to make him happy. But I truly like it.

"Like is not the word, Edward. This place... It's amazing," I shake me head, framing his face in my hands and kissing him slowly and lightly. He groans just a little and pulls away.

"You haven't even seen the inside yet. C'mon." He takes my hand and unlocks the door, leading me into what can only be described as a magazine-ready luxury cabin.

I never want to leave.

The tour of the place takes about fifteen minutes, mostly because we stop to make out in ever room and hall on the way. When he shows me the master bedroom, I've had just about enough of the tour and pull him to the bed. We properly christian the bed... twice.

I make us sandwiches and hot chocolate in the ridiculously decked out kitchen while Edward turns on the remote controlled fireplace.

After lunch we snuggle on the couch in front of the fire and just revel in the soft warmth and the softly falling snow out the gigantic window to the right.

"You know I love you, right?" Edward whispers before kissing me below my ear, my back to his chest and his arms wrapped around me.

"I know. I think I'm finally comfortable with you loving me. I love you more than anything, and I'm so happy to just be in your arms. All of this," I gesture to our surroundings, "is just icing. But thank you for bringing me here. This is so perfect." I bring his hands to my lips and kiss them before snuggling deeper into his warmth.

I can hear the chuckle in his chest before he frees one hand to grab something off the side table. When his arm returns to its original spot around me, he places a small velvet box in my hand.

My heart stops.

My breath hitches as my mind grasps what's happening.

I slowly sit up and turn to look at him. He's got that look I love the most, the one where I know exactly what he's thinking. The words are all over his face.

He loves me.

With shaky fingers I pry open the box and gaze at the perfect solitaire, but the view gets watery because of the tears welling up in my eyes.

"How about some more icing?" Edward says quietly, his voice thick with emotion.

I don't need to think about it. I thought that when this moment came I'd have trouble accepting that someone would want to be with me.

Not anymore. I deserve this. I deserve Edward... his love, his support, the life he's offering me.

"What are you asking me?" I say, lightening up the mood a bit, because yeah, I want to hear him ask me.

He grins from ear to ear, eyes sparkling green as he slowly takes the ring from the box and holds it between us.

"Marry me, Bella?"

Those three little words...

"Yes. So much... Yes. I love you, Edward. YES!" I giggle the last part, realizing how ridiculous I sound, but Edward kisses me hard, not letting me think of anything else but this moment, his lips, our love. I feel him slip the ring on my finger and it totally belongs there.

"So, future Mrs. Cullen, half-empty or half-full?" He asks me later after making love on the soft rug next to the fire.

"All-full, I think."

"How so?"

"It's either half-filled with water or half-filled with air... it's still all full. I don't pretend to think everything will ever be perfect, and it shouldn't be. But I know what a good life can be now... and I can't wait to start it with you." I kiss him slowly, and I can feel him smile against me.

"Well said, baby... Well said."

THE END.

A/N: SOOOOOO, this is the end. I thought I would write a short epi... but I kind of life where I've ended it. I might do an outtake or something later... you know me... It will be posted separately though, IF I do something ;)

Again, thanks to all who have supported me, my stories, and my flights of fancy. To all those who read, reviewed, lurked, alerted, favorited, tweeted, FB'ed, thank you to each an every one of you! You all are amazing.

If you didn't know, I'm expanding my OS I wrote for G's compilation called Professionally Personal... it features a tattoo artist Bella, and a delicious CEO/Tattward. Of course, it's humor/romance... because that's how I roll. Check it out.

I updated UPS/Gamerward last week or so, and PrimaryColors is up next with her chapter. We're in the home stretch with that one too.

And YES, I'm still working on Bella of Victoria, it will not be abandoned... that's NOT how I roll.

ENJOY BD2! It's the last one... bittersweet, but I'm actually kind of happy I won't be a slave to the movie thing anymore... I will still be around for Rob and FF, so I'm not going anywhere ;)
