JPOV:
I took Bella's hand and we walked back to the cottage where i knew the rest of the Cullen's would be with our little flower awaiting our return. I could feel how nervous Bella was and i did what i could to help her with the nerves.
"It's all going to be alright darlin' you won't hurt her i promise our little flower will be safe." i said pulling her close to my side. She smiled and held onto me as we walked inside and into the living room where everyone was gathered waiting. Once we got to the living room everyone turned to face us and smiled, Carlisle walked over and I smiled.
"Its ok Carlisle, Bella's ok. She's in control." I turned to my beautiful love and kissed her cheek and I could feel everyone's tension drain out of them being replaced be relief.
"Where's Lily?" I asked and Esme smiled.
"Rose has her in her room, she'll be here in a second." she said and I nodded holding Bella's hand trying to keep her calm. It's times like these that I stop and realize how much we help each other. We know just what to do to make the other feel safe, secure, and loved. As one hand held hers, my other one fumbled with the velvet box in my pocket. No one has a clue of what's going on, and i'm hoping that i'll be able to steal my love away for a moment. I suddenly have a plan in mind as I turn to Bella,
"Lets go and see our little flower" and she gave a small smile as she held my hand a little tight. We excuse ourselves and head to the nursery where Rose and Lily were and she turned to us with our sleeping angel in her arms. She slowly set her back down in the crib before walking over to us informing she just went down for a nap not long ago before giving us some time with her. Bella had let go of my hand and walked over to the side of the crib looking down making quiet small talk with Lily, and while her back was to me i knew it was time. As she was distracted i got down on my knee and managed to free the box from my pocket. I was just in time too as the last few hushed words that came from Bella's mouth she turned and saw me.
"Jasper…" was all I heard, and like that she was stunned silent as she covered her mouth looking surprised.
"Bella", I started clearly but in a hushed tone as to not wake our flower.
"I know we've been through so much together. We've seen each other at both our highs and lows, we have a beautiful daughter, and have helped each other through any problem that's arisen. What i'm trying to say is that, there are many ways to be happy in this life, but all I really need is you. So what i'm asking of you is, will you marry me?" I opened the box to reveal a silver ring which held a simple square diamond as tiny circular ones lined the band. I realize that, through my whole speech I had looked at the floor, probably because my nerves had taken over, and i mentally cursed myself, but when I looked up I saw tears that would never fall in her eyes and she was starting to sob lightly as she quietly but quickly walked over to me enveloping me in an embrace. As she buried her head in the crook of my neck I could hear her muffled reply and just like that I was ecstatic because in that moment she had agreed, and I earned myself a wife. I couldn't believe after everything that we had been through we were going to finally have our happy ending. I slid the ring onto her finger smiling as it fit perfectly and i pulled her close to me kissing her softly.

I couldn't believe it, my soldier and i were getting married! I hugged him close completely happy when i heard a little giggle coming from Lily's crib and i turned to see she was awake. I walked over and picked her up gently.
"Hello my little flower, I'm so happy to see you." I said, holding her close to me and she smiled snuggling close. It was nice to hear the sound of her laughter as she tried to hold my face in the palms of her hands. Jasper walked over and put a hand on my waist as the other messed up her hair.
"I can't wait for all the moments like this" Jasper said as it feels like everything is standing still, a kodak moment as they say to which i chuckle knowing if i had my camera on hand right now it would go straight in an album. After a couple of minutes of standing in blissful silence a knock snapped us out of it as the door slowly opened to show Carlisle emerging.
"I see someone is finally awake from her nap" he chuckles as Lily gives him a big and bright smile.
"If you don't mind Jasper, Rosalie and Alice are waiting to play with Lily. Wouldn't want to keep them waiting" he jokes as Jasper nods knowing not to get between them and the baby. As soon as they were gone Carlisle turned back to me before he asked me to take a seat. Doing so I sat back on a rocking chair as he took a seat on the ottoman, rested his elbows on his knees and gave me a look of relief.
"I just wanted to make sure you're thirst was under control Bella." he said and i nodded understanding.
"My thirst is fine Carlisle really, Jasper already made sure of that." i said and sat down across from him already getting back into old habits which sorta surprised me.
"Well thats good" He says with a smile.
"How about your regular movements? I know you've probably seen that doing certain tasks will now be given a bit more force or speed than normal". He looks around for a moment as if searching for something but i just don't know what. He gets up placing a hand on Lily's crib.
"We're going to do a couple of tests." I nod before we begin as he has me do a variety of things from trying to gently lift the crib, to simply walking across the room from end to end. After a few tests in such a quick amount of time we stop and he gives me a certain look. That look in which he seems to think long and hard about something.
"Ok," he says as the smile returns to his face as he walks over and puts a hand on my shoulder.
"For the most part you passed the tests. Where you are lacking in some tasks we can help." He says in confidence before releasing my shoulder.
"Now," he motions to the door
"shall we get back to the others?" i nodded and followed him into the living room.
