"We need to talk" I said as we walked into the kitchen.
"About what?" Bella asked.
"Sit down Babe; I don't want you standing too long." I told her and she nodded sitting down at the kitchen table.
"Babe what's wrong?" she asked as I sat down across from her at the table.
"Um my Da was talking to me today about some stuff that I want to talk to you about." I explained not meeting her eyes as I spoke.
"Edward you're scaring me." She said reaching out for my hands. I let her take them and sighed. "Babe what happened?"
"I think we should get married." I told her.
"What?" she asked lifting her hands away from mine. "Edward we talked about this."
"We didn't really Love." I told her. "You just said you wouldn't marry me because I got you pregnant. But we never really talked about why we should get married."
"Why should we get married then?" she asked me.
"It's the right thing to do."
"Edward I'm not an obligation." She said.
"I know that." I told her and she shook her head.
"Well then 'because it's the right thing to do' is not an appropriate answer in this scenario." Bella said folding her arm over her chest. "Edward what really brought this on?"
"I want to be entitled to her in every way." I said
"Edward she's getting your name, you're being named on the birth certificate. I'm not going to take off with her." Bella said.
"But you could do." I said and Bella bit her lip.
"I won't"
"Bella please"
"No" She said shaking her head. "I'm not marrying you, unless you ask me because you want to be married to me."
"I do Baby." I said and she shook her head. "Bella..."
"No, you're not ready yet. I'm not ready yet." She said.
"I'm not messin around Bella." I said taking the ring out of my pocket and putting it on the table.
"Put it away" She told me.
"Bella..."
"I'm not saying 'no' forever Edward. Just not now okay. Look if you want I will make up a will tomorrow that says if anything happens to me of course you get Allanah. I promise you that okay, she's as much yours as she is mine and I'm never going to take her away from you. And we'll go to the Garda station and have you named as a legal guardian the minute I get out of the hospital."
"How do you know so much about this?" I asked her.
"I grew up in the inner city where a lot of my friend got pregnant at young ages. Plus my Da's a Guard, he tells me stuff." She explained. "I never figured you'd be worried about this because I thought you trusted me."
"I do Love, I swear I do. I just... my Da started talking to me today and I started panicking and..." I began when she grabbed my hand again.
"It's okay Babe. It just shows me you love her." Bella said and I nodded.
"So what? You're never going to marry me?" I asked her.
"I didn't say that." Bella said. "But don't ask me because you think you should. Ask me when you're ready to and that's when I'll say yes."
"You know for a woman who's fucking insane you speak a lot of sense." I told her and she laughed.
She does. She's not saying 'no' forever, just not yet. They're not ready yet and she's going to make him get his shit together before letting him marry her. She is a strong tower of female strength. Or so the little voice she has in my head keeps saying.
If any of my readers are in the way of Sandy, stay safe guys!
Review please.
Love The Irish Cullen.
