We all sat down on various pieces of furniture in the living room and then Alice brought up the way that Bella had been driving.

"So Bella have we finally converted you to our way of driving?" The second that Alice said this I was furious. She put herself in danger, after being in danger just before.

"You what! Bella how fast were you driving?"

"Maybe 5 miles above the speed limit." She was lying. I could tell from her eyes.

"She was going at least 80. I'm glad that she is a safe driver though. I had a vision that she was going to crash into the tree by her house, but even when she isn't paying attention she is a safe driver. Then this morning she was so close to 80, and I thought that she was going to drive into the house."

I was as still as possible. I didn't even breathe. I didn't want to yell at her or hurt her in anyway.

"Thanks a lot Alice." Sarcasm would get her no where.

"I'm guessing that I wasn't supposed to say that." She sounded sheepish. She hadn't meant to get Bella in trouble. She genuinely was happy that Bella had changed her ways.

"No duh. Edward, please say something you are worrying me."

I said what was on my mind the entire time. "Bella the whole reason that I sent you away was so that you could get out of danger not put your self in more danger."

"I wanted to help you. You guys wouldn't have fought the way that you should because you would have been afraid for me." She stood up. "This morning I was worried. I didn't know what had happened last night and I wanted to make sure you guys were okay. Excuse me for caring."

Great. Now I had hurt her and I had made an ass of myself in the process.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to blow up at you like that. I care. If you had gotten in an accident and taken your self away from me I don't know what I would have done"

"It's okay. I'm sorry about how I reacted."

During this exchange my family had made itself scarce. They had sensed that we needed to work this out our self.

I picked her up and ran her to my room. It was finally time to give her, her surprise.

Once we were there I put her on the couch and got two boxes and an envelope.

"I got the small box last night when you were sleeping. I felt that it was the right thing to do, but first open the larger box." So I lied. She would never know.

I handed her the larger box and she opened it.

"It is beautiful. What do all of the twists represent?"

"Well only one applies to us the other was just there. There are two symbols. There is the trinity knot and the eternal love symbol."

"Eternal love. That would mean that you would have to change me for it to be eternal." She sounded so sad. I wanted her to be happy. I just needed to tell her that I meant what it meant.

"I know. That is why I got you it."

"You mean that you are going to change me." She looked so happy.

"Yes."

She threw herself at me and wrapped herself around me. Her arms were around my neck and her legs were around my waist. She felt so warm and smelled so good.

"Oh Edward. I can't believe it. You finally said yes." She kissed me and then she asked me. "So what do I get to open next?"

"The letter."

"Okay." I handed her the letter and she was going to open it when Alice ran into the door and then opened it.

"I can't believe it. We are finally going to be related." She gave her a hug and then turned to me. "I can't believe that it took you so long."

"Well god. I can't tell you what it took me to come to that decision." Not long to tell anyone the truth.

"Come on lets go tell everyone." Then she ran Bella to the living room. Everyone was present, except for Rosalie.

I looked at Emmet, and he just shrugged his shoulders.

'I don't know where she went. She said that she had to hunt, but we went not that long ago. I wish that she would just accept Bella. After all she is going to be family.' He smiled at me and I smiled back.

"Carlisle, Jasper, Esme, and Emmet, I would like to present to you the next Cullen. Welcome Isabella Swan, now known as Isabella Cullen" Everyone was up and clapping. They each gave Bella a hug.

"Esme why don't you go and get Bella the present that we got her." Esme ran into the other room and then brought back yet another box. Just as she was about to open the box there was a knock on the door.

Carlisle got up and opened the door.

'Edward he is a human eater and was here when we were attacked. You need to um…well make Bella smell like you if you can. Please hurry.'

I quickly pulled her behind me and then rubbed myself all over her. It would have been a lot weirder and more uncomfortable if I wasn't so scared. I mean how many guys do you know would pass up a chance to rub up against there very hot girlfriend. I was going to have to save those thoughts for later, when Bella's life wasn't in danger.

"Edward what are you doing?"

"Shh. I will explain later."

I nodded to Carlisle signaling that it was okay.

"Are you sure?" I nodded. "Okay."

"What do you want?"

"We want the girl. Oh behalf of the ruler of the coven we wish that she should come with us."

"For what purpose."

"The ruler has chosen her as his bride and fellow ruler. She would be his equal of power. We do not wish for a fight. We have come peacefully. All we ask for is the girl."

"You shall not get her. She is already spoken for."

"So be it. Then we will have to take her with force; although I doubt that that would be needed. After she meets the ruler then I doubt that she will even think of resisting." And with that he left.

Bella made her confusion known. "What was that all about?"

"That was a try at negotiating. The leader of a powerful coven has seen you and probably smelled you and has chosen you as his bride. That means that you would have the protection of an entire coven. You would have power and you would not feed on animals. You would be his mate."

"Why me?" A second later she fainted on the floor.

"Did you have to tell her that?"

"She needed to know Edward. I know that you want to keep her safe, but the only way for her to be safe is for her to know what we are up against. I can understand that some things you will not want her to know and I will respect that but there are somethings that have to be said."

I nodded. "I understand."

Just then Bella began to wake up. She opened her eyes and looked disoriented, but then she was alright.

"I am sorry Bella I did not mean to tell you everything and overload you."

"No it is okay. I asked what was going on and I got my answer. I didn't know that it would be so much though."

"You never got to open your gift dear." Esme handed her the box that hadn't been opened.

"Oh yeah. Well everyone else knows what this is I suppose."

"No."

"Nope."

"She wouldn't tell me."

She opened the box and saw our plastic credit card.

"You didn't."

"Of course we did." This came from Carlisle. "You are going to be a part of this family. That means that you have the same funds as everyone."

Bella got up and gave Carlisle a huge hug. "Thank you so much. I really appreciate it." Then she turned to Esme. "I really do."

"Thank you everyone. You have been very supportive and I am forever grateful." She was crying by now and so Jasper asked.

"If you are so happy then why are you crying?"

"Oh Jasper they are happy tears. Tears of joy."

Then I spoke. "Can I please take Bella up to my room so that I can finally give her all of my presents?" I swear, by the time that I actually gave them to her I would have aged.

Everyone nodded and I grabbed her and ran upstairs. We reached his bedroom and he pulled me inside.

The second that we were inside of his room I practically skipped to the couch. I carefully put her down and then grabbed the letter. Then I picked her up and set her on my feet. She looked down at the letter and then opened it.

As she read it I could see that she was happy, but nervous. She said yes and then when she was done she turned around.

Now for the hard part. Think, if I get through this then I can do anything.

"Isabella Swan I have loved you since the moment that I let my eyes see you. Even before I saw you I loved you. You have given meaning to my life. Before I met you I just existed. Now I am alive. You have done that to me."

"I know that you want to spend eternity in my arms and I in yours, so I ask you will you spend eternity with me as my wife."

She was crying and gasping for breath. If I were her I would have fainted. Personally pressure is not my forte. When she didn't answer I got nervous

"Bella you kind of have to answer. You don't have to say yes. If you don't feel that you are ready them I will wait for you. If I have to I will wait forever." Even though it would hurt me if she said no I did not want to pressure her.

"Of course Edward there was no question to my answer. I was just in shock. Yes I will become Mrs. Isabella Cullen." I knew that my eyes were brighter. I opened the box and when she saw the ring she gasped. I slipped it onto her and then kissed her.

"The ring is beautiful."

"Not nearly as beautiful as you. In fact beautiful is not nearly close to what you are. You are heavenly. Not any word could describe you. You are that… well whatever you are, is not yet a word." I kissed her again. "Let's go and tell the rest of the family."

I ran her to the kitchen were everyone was waiting. Everyone including Rosalie was in there with a banner over there heads that said CONGRATULATIONS! They were all smiling and happy.

'I need to say something.' I nodded my head at Rosalie. She did need to say something and I was sure that no matter what happened that Bella would be in this family. I prepared for the worst, and hoped for the best.

"I'm sorry for all of the mean things that I have done and said. You have deserved none of them, yet you endured it and said nothing. I would like to be your friend and now your sister, but I understand if you do not want that me to be that."

"Of course I do. I have never wanted anything more." They hugged

"That's good because Alice me be good at shopping but I am better. Plus, you will totally need someone to plan your wedding. There is no way that you can do it by yourself."

We all laughed at that and then spent the rest of the day having fun. I knew that it would be okay, having forgotten about the other coven. I thought that now that we were to be married and that I would change her everything will be alright.

I had no idea, just how wrong I was.
