A/N: Sorry guys I had to get ready for our family reunion/ Chinese New Year PAR-TAY!! Just to tell you I slept through the whole thing after my aunt stared at my boobs for ten minutes and I got creeped out! So yay me and sleepy-time! Oh yah and fluff warning. Off without de-show.

I carried James in to the front desk where there was a nurse looking us over; slight disgust and lots of awe were in her thoughts.

"This girl needs a doctor fast; she has a punctured lung multiple broken ribs and a broken arm. We also have another girl coming in with multiple broken bones. But your first concern should be getting this one into surgery."

"Okay I'll page the doctors." And she did so over the intercom.

Alice and Pete were coming with Bella. Well actually Pete was coming in with Bella and the doctors were coming with gurneys.

"She needs to get to surgery right away. She has a couple broken ribs but I don't think there's anything wrong with her head-"

"Its okay kid we got it from here." And with that they left with both James and Bella.

Waiting was pure agony. I know I'm supposed to be a vampire and be super patient. But seriously, how can you when the love of your life might die or kill you. The only thing to do was paperwork which was mostly filled out by Pete.

I seriously think years went by before the doctors came out. I stood up impatiently waiting for the news.

"Are you here for Bella Swan and James Brown?" We all nodded.

"Well it seems both are in stable condition. Bella is asleep right now." Actually she's pretty drugged up he thought. "And James is healing form the surgery we did. We would like to keep them here for observation for a couple of days." Who decided to name a GIRL James that is the most stupidest thing I've ever heard… This doctor's thoughts were the most stupid thing I had ever heard. Imagine thinking stupidest was used with most.

I went in to go sit with Bella while the rest of my family stayed in the waiting room. Pete also left to go talk to James.

It was horrible to see Bella just lying there again, all mangled and broken. Why did she always have to try to be a hero? Why did I have to be a vampire? Why did I have to bring all of these dangers to her?

If you changed her, she wouldn't be in much danger. Stupid voice in the back of my head, or was it Alice?

I really had to think about that. What if I did finally change Bella? Then at the very least I knew she would be safe. I was starting to think that this would be a good thing for the both of us, but how would she react to leaving behind her family and this life she had here? I knew that she had attached herself to James. Heck I had spent only ten minutes with her and I thought she was pretty cute, but she wouldn't want to live in a house full of vampires. Or would she?

Just then Alice came in. "Edward? Just so you know that James girl wants to see you. She's been asking for you for a while. I'll stay with Bella while you talk to her."

"Thanks Alice."

"Edward, I really didn't expect for it to end like this. It was supposed to be different, you were both supposed to be conscience-"

"Don't worry Alice I know that you didn't want Bella hurt. I can't believe I was ever thinking about leaving her. This is my entire fault." Alice smiled at that.

"Don't blame just yourself Eddo. A lot of people are on the ring of fire here."

"Ring of fire?"

"Fault lines." That was the only explanation she gave me before she pushed me out the door and into the hall.

I went to the lobby and saw the rest of my family there. Esme stood up and walked me back out of the lobby.

"Her room is this way." She pointed down the hall. "Edward I just want you to know that I think you leaving Bella is the stupidest idea I have ever heard."

"I know."

"Well good. And I also think you should know that you better do whatever you can to make things right with her."

"I will."

"Good. And you should also know that if you actually hold a conversation with James you will be sucked in. She's a magnificent girl, very smart, and very sweet. Did you know she's beating herself up because she couldn't save Bella from getting hurt? I told that was my son's job but she won't listen. Maybe you can talk some sense into her." She started turning around and walking back to the lobby.

"I'll try." Then I knocked on the door.

"Come in." So I did what the voice said. Pete was in a chair next to James's

(A/N :?) bed.

They finished up whatever conversation they were having, and then Pete gave James a hug and a kiss.

"We'll talk about it more later okay?"

"Yep, thanks Pete. Bye."

"So, you wanted to see me?"

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry." Tears were running down her face; she obviously felt bad about what happened. Which was stupid because it was my entire fault. "I meant to call you but then the lottery…and my parents… and I didn't mean to… I'M SO SORRY!" That was all I could understand through her blubbering then in a flash she was crying on my shoulder. I didn't know who had made that move, but I did know that I was trying to comfort her.

She cried for almost an hour until it slowed to sniffles.

"You must think I'm a blubbering idiot." She said with a smile and a sniffle.

"Quite the contrary I heard you are a genius, well the blubbering part might be correct."

"I'm sorry I just have been bottling things up for a while."

"Yah I think I heard somewhere that that's not good."

"You know she loves you right? One of the first things we talked about was her trouble with you. And I know that she loves you. She gave up just about everything for you and every night she falls asleep crying to a CD you gave her. She never stops staring at your picture either."

"I know she loves me and I love her dearly. But it's complicated-"

"Why don't you just change her then?"

"What?!" How the heck did this girl know about that? Then again, how did my mother know?

"Change her. Things won't be as complicated, believe me." How the heck did she have experience in that?"

"How did you know that I'm a vampire?"

"Holy shit! You're a vampire?"

"Wait a sec I'm totally confused."

Her face contorted into a knowing smirk. "Good let's leave it at that then."

The doctor walked in on our staring contest.

"Oh! Well James, I have some good news for you. You will fully recover, though it will be a long painful process but we are going to move you home tomorrow. But I want you to promise me you will move as little as possible until the doctors say otherwise, kapeesh?" A look of horror and disgust washed onto James's face.

"Ew! You watched Full House?"

"Just promise."

"Fine, I promise."

"Well I'll go check on some other patients then."

"You do that Dr. Z"

"My name starts with a P."

"Say the letter, your wish is my command."

"Whatever, I'm leaving." And so he did lucky duck; I had a feeling this girl was slightly mental, but she was cute enough.

"So I'm just gonna go check on Bella." I started getting up from my chair.

"Not so fast. We still have to talk about something else."

"Oh? And that would be?"

"The ring, where's the ring?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm not letting you go back into that room unless you have an engagement ring. I told Pete to tell your whole family not to let you in and I don't think they will either. Sounds like they may have been on Bella's side about a couple of things. At least Esme was."

"So you're making me get engaged to Bella? Whatever happened to free will?"

"Hey you love her forever. And you would be asking her to marry her sometime I'm just speeding things up besides it's a perfect time to 'pop the question' as some people say." She had put air quotes around pop the question. I was not ready for this. No way would I be able to face Bella to do this.

"Whoa I didn't know vampires could hyperventilate." Oh my god I was hyperventilating and saying oh my god. I returned my breathing to normal; I also didn't know a vampire could hyperventilate.

"So how exactly are we going to shop for this ring? I don't think the doctor will let you leave this hospital and I don't think you'll let me leave it either."

"Oh don't worry I don't intend to leave the hospital and I don't think you would if you had free will so that's why I had Pete bring me this." She pulled out a laptop. "And the fun doesn't stop there. Everyone has a walkie talkie phone thing and laptops so I can email them pictures while doing their thing."

"Okay you are creepy, and a mastermind."

"Why thank you so much!" She seemed pretty genuine about the thanks but you can never tell.

We stayed in her room looking at rings for hours. I think the only reason James didn't fall asleep was the massive amounts of caffeine sent to the room at regular intervals.

Every so once and a while she would email out a picture or two and get mixed reviews back. Then she found a ring with a square diamond (A/N: I don't speak diamond I only know if it's on my finger or not. Though this is a slightly real ring.) set in white gold. That's all it was, one slightly big diamond in white gold, and it made her gasp in awe. Well I'm sure it was awe.

"It's perfect."

"Why?"

"Duh! Two reasons, one it's plain, but still nice. And two it has very inside-joke potential."

"Inside joke?"

"I once said that she is a plain square, like a lone square diamond on a ring. It didn't work though because she still wouldn't go into that store but whatever, it's totally great. I'm serious! Here I'll send it around to everyone too."

So we waited for everyone's feedback; everyone loved it.

"Okay everyone," she said into the phone, "I'm gonna need Emmett to pick this up ASAP. Now let's move people!"

I was still stuck with James. Lucky enough for her I had gone hunting the day before I found her and Bella. We played a hell of a lot of go fish, which I have to say is particularly boring. I also found out how much I hate Dora the Explorer. I mean really how much of that show can a teenager take? I also had to hear a lecture about how much Steve is better than Joe. (A/N: BECAUSE HE IS!)

Finally Emmett came in with a bag from a jewelry store. He took one look at me watching TV and started laughing.

"Wow you poor guy. I can't believe that you would actually watch this crap."

This of course, received a long lecture on the benefits of watching Dora from James.

"Whatever, I don't care. Here Eduardo, go get your girl. I'll stay with this one for you."

I gave him a dark look as I took the bag. I don't know why but this was fun; I couldn't wait for Bella to wake out of her drug-induced coma. Oh the things we can do- I should not think of those kinds of thoughts. Especially because I hadn't even asked her anything yet.

Before I got to her room I looked at the ring and threw away the bag. It really was perfect it wasn't so flashy that Bella could complain but it did have a rich air to it. Ha, got her there.

I knocked on the door and went in. She still wasn't awake but Alice was sitting there just staring at her. There wasn't even a thought in her mind; scary how Alice could do that.

I tapped her on the shoulder and tried to usher her out of the room.

"Wait a sec, let me see it!"

I sighed and searched my pocket for the box. Then I flipped it open and Alice gasped.

"It's perfect!"

"What the heck is with all of you freaks? I mean seriously you all think it's perfect. It's really starting to scare. A lot."

"Sorry to floss your butt crack Edward, but it really is perfect. No doubt in my mind she'll love it. If she says yes that is." My stomach dropped. What had she seen?

Alice must have seen my worry because she said, "I'm just kidding! She will say yes. She loves you, and you love her. Once again there's no doubt." I still couldn't make my stomach rise again.

I once again tried to usher Alice out, this time with more success. Now it was just me and the love of my life. Great now what happens if she wakes up and hates me? Good god I hope they didn't drug her so bad because I couldn't stand the suspense.

I waited forever until Bella finally seemed to be waking up.

"Bella? Bella, are you awake?" She was shaking her head and had a confused look on her face, though her eyes still weren't open.

"Bella?"

"Edward? Is it really you?" Her eyes were open now and she was flinging herself at me. "Oh my god Edward I missed you so much, I'm so sorry I really didn't mean for it to be this long, I just really didn't want to lose you and then I just couldn't leave, and then James… and oh… and Victoria… and we couldn't leave… and I'm so sorry!" For the second time this hospital visit, someone was blubbering into my shoulder, and I think it might have been about the same thing.

"Bella it's okay. It only matters that you're okay."

"Oh my god! Is James okay? Oh crap I am such a horrible mother!"

"She's fine. But wait, you're a mother?"

"Oh, yah, I meant to talk to you about that."

"And?"

"Well her parents died and then well, she's just so cute. Well the main point of the story is I kind of adopted her."

"Wow, you really changed while you were gone. You didn't even fully kill the kid."

"Ha. Ha. Very funny. I bet you couldn't keep her alive for as long as I have."

"Oh it is on my dear." Just then my walkie talkie went off. It was James.

"Did you do it yet?"

"Geez James give a guy a minute please."

"Is that James? Let me talk please! James! Are! You! Okay!"

"Bella no need to yell. Here take it."

"Bella I can't talk I have to go Pete's here. And Edward hurry the hell up! Gosh! Oh, and once you're done tell her not to worry the girls and I are teaming up."

"Oh god did she just say 'the girls and I are teaming up'? Kill me now that means shopping. And whatever you're doing I hate surprises! I told you once and I'll tell you again."

"Bella settle down, besides we have a certain mood to set." I took an unnecessary deep breath and got down on my knee. "Bella I have never met someone as wonderful as you. I'm still working on the words to describe you. I realize now that I cannot live without you no matter how horrible I am for you. So what I'm trying to ask in a completely nerdy way is will you marry me?" I pulled out the ring and shut my eyes; this was completely scary and crazy.

"Oh, Edward! I don't know what to say!"

"Yes maybe?" Please, please say yes!

"Yes! A billion times yes! Oh my god! Oh wow I can't believe this. I'm gonna get married. Alice is gonna freak. Oh, crap now there's going to be shopping and choices."

"Wow I really thought you were going to say no."

"Well, I probably would have but having a child changes everything." She started laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"Me, having a child. Dang that would have hurt. I think she weighs more than me."

"Okay! Well interesting subject. Never thought you would be talking about it but whatever."

"Circle of life Edward, circle of life."

"Well as long as you're okay." I remembered the ring and slipped it on her finger. She looked at it and gasped.

"Geez Edward! How much did this cost?"

"Darn she said you wouldn't complain."

"Who said I wouldn't complain?"

"James, she also said something about a joke?" She started laughing her head off again.

"Dear lord only she would remember that. She tried to get me to go into this store where everything was animal print. So she tried to persuade me to go in and ended up calling me a 'lone square diamond in a ring' which I really don't see as a bad thing. I mean hey who wouldn't want to be a beautiful thing that lasts forever?" Um, did anyone say Rosalie?

"Well I guess it has grown on me," she sighed while still looking at the ring, "well now all we can do is wait for an ambush of people to come in here. I can't believe James hasn't been in here with an energy trying to piss me off." Great now I'm going to have to break the bad news to her.

"Um Bella I guess I should mention the fact that James had a punctured lung."

"What does that mean?"

"Well the surgery went well and-"

"Surgery?!"

"Yes surgery, and don't interrupt me. Well anyways she had a couple of broken ribs and one of them punctured her lung so she's going to have a really long recovery time but she should make a full recovery. She's pretty hyper as it is right now I don't think it would be a good thing if she were out of bed or had an energy drink."

"That's James for ya."

"So on a couple of other subjects, are you going to go back to Forks and call Charlie and Renée?"

"Oh crap Charlie and Renée, I'm going to die." I didn't care now all I could think about was the fact that I was going to marry such a wonderful woman.

A/N: BAM! Okay its a little OOC (okay a lot OOC) but whatever it worked out that way. Haha now you can all get your panties out of a bunch because they're together! YAY!! Okay well I'm deprived of all of my other fan fictions so gotta go! Sorry it's so late!

LOVE,

ANDIE
