Authors Note: Okay, so who here thinks that wearing sunscreen is for the weak skinned. I do! Haha, that's only because I am allergic to it. So best story ever… my friends and I decided to go to this place called Nickel City. It's this arcade that is almost half off on all games and you have to use nickels. Well, we drove two hours from where I live to get to this place. Now mind you we have never been there. We not only thought we were lost but when we go there it was closed! Their not open on Mondays. I was so ticked!

Oh, and I do realize that I made Renee way to accepting of Edward and Bella getting married. Umm… long story short… I have decided that Edward had already spoken to Renee about it and that they had a slight argument about it. Edward of course won and umm… yeah!

Chapter Three

The Proposal

Carlisle POV

Dinner was going to be a fiasco. No matter what I told everyone, some one was going to cause a major problem. I had my bets on Aro, Caius, and Marcus. Just the fact that two of them were old stiffs and Aro was the one that everyone was willing to kill just because he was acting like himself. He was after all, a child at heart.

"Now I expect every one of you to be on your best behavior. That includes all of you!" I stated very quickly and very low so that no one could hear.

"What is this place?" Aro asked quietly.

"It's called a restaurant. It's a place where humans go and get their nutrients from the food they are able to consume." Rosalie said quickly. "It's a place where we generally don't go.

"Thank you, captain obvious." Edward said under his breath. She must have caught for she turned around and kicked him in the shin. "Ow."

"Serves you right." She stated quietly.

The squad car pulled up to the door and Phil jumped out the back seat and let Renee out. He made towards Bella's door but Edward had beaten him to it.

"Very human." Bella whispered into Edwards ear as she stepped out. "Stop showing off, you know that he'll never accept you."

"That won't matter in a week now will it?"

"It will if you get your way. This is why I have put this completely in Carlisle's hands." She continued to whisper at his side knowing she didn't need to be near his ear to tell him anything.

"Now I tell you, who in their right mind criticizes the works of Shakespeare?" Regina stated as she swallowed another bite of the stake she had ordered. "I mean, yes, Macbeth was a crazy tragedy in which everybody died… but did you pay attention to the characters at all… they were all crazy. Especially Lady Macbeth. She had King Duncan killed and she was the one feeling guilty and she thought she had the blood on her hands."

"Well, that was how things were in those days." I pointed out. "People feared the punishment that could be given for such deeds and if they found out that she had been the one to give the order or rather the one who thought of it… off with her head!" I had been a huge fan of Shakespeare. I still am.

Everyone else looked bored. Obviously not interested in the politics behind Shakespeare. I looked towards Edward who was seated right beside Bella. This would be the time to propose. Even if she has already stated that she would, it would be for her parent's sake. He nodded and stood up.

We were seated a large rectangular table and in a private banquet hall per my request. We didn't need more than just the waitress's gawking at us.

"If I could have everybody's attention, please?" he stopped and waited for every one to quiet down before he continued. "Thank you." He moved his chair, faced Bella, and got down on one knee.

"Ms. Isabella Swan, I have asked you father for you hand in marriage and he has given me permission to ask. So, I have come here this evening to ask you… Isabella Swan, please give me the honor of calling you Mrs. Edward Anthony Masen Cullen."

"Yes." She was crying. It was actually quite touching considering a few months ago he just blatantly asked her to marry him. "Yes, I will." And with out thinking she threw her arms around him and she kissed his cheek.

Authors note: Sorry it was so short but you know how it is. I have a bad case of writers block. But I will be able to make these chapters much longer, for I now have a computer in my room that I can be on when ever I don't have chores, homework, and oh yeah, when I'm at work! So R&R! Love you all. Oh chapter six of Trials of the Heart should be up by Thursday night so keep a look out on your emails.
