"I'm sorry for what I have done." I began, looking at each of the Cullens. Edward grasping my hand. "I have messed with your memories and put you in grave danger because of my own selfishness." Alice looked ready to say something but Edward held his hand out to silence her. "I know what I had done was wrong and I don't know how you can forgive me. Edward has," he wrapped his arms around my waist, still covering my right hand. "But I think it is only fair if I gain the forgiveness from the rest of you. So I would like to put it to a vote." They chuckled. "Will you forgive me? Esme?"
She smiled at me. "No matter the time that went on, I still could never think of anything bad of you. So yes, I forgive you."
"Alice?"
"There's nothing to forgive." She bounced over to give me a small hug. "I am just so happy to see me prediction was wrong."
"I too am for yes," Jasper said behind us. "Everything is peaceful again. You did what you needed to do."
"Thank you Jasper."
"Of course I say yes." Emmett jumped in. "I think having a lil sis with fangs would be fun." I rolled my eyes as everyone laughed. "Don't forget about our father-in-law." He pointed to Louis who shook his head with a smile with Lestat laughing next to him.
"Alright mister," Rosalie started, putting her hand on his shoulder. "You gave in your vote. It's my turn." She turned to me. "This reminds me of when we had your vote for you to join our family from before. I said no then but now I say that you do belong with us. So I say yes."
"Thank you Rose. It means a lot." Everyone turned to Carlisle. He looked up at Edward. "Even after three years with no recollection of you Edward was still madly inlove with you based on a simple picture. What happened has happened and there is no point to dwell on it. I forgive you Bella."
Edward smiled and kissed my forehead. "That's good because we have an announcement." Uncovering my hand the family gasped as he held it up, showing the ring. Everyone gasped. "We're getting married." We said at the same time.
Cheering, Esme, Rosalie, and Alice went to hug me with Alice repeating that she wants to plan the wedding. Louis hugged me next, congratulating me, and Lestat was still laughing beside him but it was calmer than before. "This is a celebration indeed."
"Where do you want the wedding? We can do it here or back in Forks or even in Vegas, though I prefer not to do it at the last one."
Edward and I looked at each other. "Forks. I want a wedding in the forest." Being in his arms made me feel so safe. He softly kissed my lips that I have always loved and never could get enough of. Being around my family and the one I love was the happiest feeling I ever felt. Pulling back I giggled. "I miss the cold and wet."
