Disclaimer: I own nothing :)

I should probably explain some more on when this story is taking place, so, this takes place after Bella graduates, but before her and Edward are married. :) I hope that helps explain better.

Let me know if something confuses you...

Chapter 4: Whats the rush?

Bella's POV

We layed like that for hours and hours, not saying a word. That is, until Edward broke the silence.

"Would you object to making today, a day for just us?" He asked, sitting up suddenly.

"No, that sounds great! What do you have in mind?" I asked, grinning at him.

"Hmmm. You'll have to find that out, now won't you?" He said, smiling at me.

I've never once seen him so happy, it kinda unnerved me. He continued to smile at me, and then reached for a clock. Apparently the time made him even happier, because his smile got bigger. Now I was even more worried.

"Now how about you get dressed and showered and all that, and tell me when you're done." He said, getting up and puling me towards the bathroom. "It's 1 o'clock, so you have alot of time."

He then slammed the door in my face, leaving me to stare at it in shock. I quickly snapped out of it and got indressed and into the shower. The water felt amazing on my cold skin. I got done faster than usual and dried, and put on an outfit that Edward had somehow got into the bathroom: it was dressier than usual. (a/n: pictures of outfit on my profile..) I walked out into the room.

"You look amazing." Edward said, staring at me from the bed. "Now lets go!"

"What is the massive rush?" I asked, and I did feel extremely rushed.

He looked at me with raised eyebrows, that huge smile still on his face.

"Silly, Bella. It's a surprise, I can't tell you." He said, grabbing my hand and almsot dragging me down the stairs.

Emmett was playing some video game on the TV, and Rosalie was watching him in a chair near the couch. Alice and Jasper were at the Dining room table, immersed in a game of..Monopoly? That is, until she heard us - then she quickly ran over to us and smiled. I had my suspicions that she knew what was going on, so I read her mind. She was reciting the alphabet. Niiice.

"Bella! You look nice! Me and Jasper were playing Monopoly, we were going to ask you to join us - but clearly, you have plans." She said, jasper looked up at us from the table and waved.

I waved back, and he returned to the game. he was thinking, board walk, park place, electic company... nice way to keep me from knowing what you're thinking...

"Tell me, Alice! I'm too impatient." I whined, hoping she'd cave. She just glared at me.

"Oh, Bella, I have no idea what you're talking about." She said, walking back to the table.

"Well then, I suppose we should leave?" I asked Edward, he nodded back and led me towards the door. Just as it was closing behind us, Alice yelled: "Have Fun!" and I could almost hear the stupid smile in her voice.

Edward opened the car door for me, closing it behind me.

"Doesn't anyone let me drive?" I asked, sighing and crossing my arms.

"Not on your important days, Bella." Edward said, getting into the driver's seat.

"What is so special about today?!" I said, looking at him.

"My sweet, impatient Bella. Any day with you is important, calm down." He said, reaching for my hand so he could hold it as he drove. I decided to just let it go and switched the subject.

"Edward...what happened to Charlie?" I asked, suddenly remembering that I wasn't always...a vampire. He looked alarmed.

"Wow, I forgot. Well, we told them - him and Renee - that you were going away to College, and would call them and explain why you left on such short notice." Edward said, " I didn't think they could deal with you dying..."

"Wow. Well, i'm glad they they won't be upset." I said, he watched me as I grabbed the small silver cell phone out of my pocket and started dialing my old house number. "Hello, Charlie. Yes, i'm sorry I left on such short notice, I was feeling way rushed and wasn't really thinking straight. Yeah. I don't know, we'll see. Ok, I love you too."

I hung up and put the phone back in my pocket. Edward looked at me with a worried expression.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yes, as long as they are safe and happy." I said, smiling at him for reassurance. He smiled back.

It was quiet for a few minutes longer, until he pulled over. I looked out the window, but all I saw were trees.

"We're here!" He said, sounding very excited.

"Where exactly, is here?" I asked, still looking at the trees. He didn't answer, just got out of the car and opened my door.

He took me hand and we started walking towards the woods, he led me about 20-30 feet into the woods and then covered my eyes.

"Are you ready?" He whispered into my ear. I was jumping up and down in excitement. He laughed. "Wow, you use to hate things like this."

"I guess things changed, now let me see!" I said, still jumping.

He removed his hands from my face, grabbing me hand again. What I saw before me, was amazing. It was a clearing, but not the clearing we use to go to. There was a fountain in the middle, and the prettiest flowers i've ever seen - everywhere. I've never seen so many flowers. There was a shiny glass floor surrounding the fountain.

"This is...amazing." I said, staring in awe. He led me to the glass floor, pressing play on a CD layer as we went. Some classical song started playing and he started dancing with me.

Hours flew by as he twirled me endlessly in circles around the fountain, until it started getting dark. Lights started appearing on the fountain, and on surrounding trees, lighting this little clearing. He quickly went over and shut off the music. He got down on one knee in front of me, and I couldn;t even stifle the gasp.

He grabbed for my hand, with a smile on his face.

"I am completely and totally in love with you in every way possible. You are my destiny, my fate, my life, my world You are the most important thing to me, ever. I love you more than it's possible for anyone to love someone. I want you to be mine for the rest of eternity, for the rest of forever. Isabella Marie Swan, will you marry me?" He said.

If I could have cried, there would have been tears in my eyes. So instead, I just jumped up and down and screamed.

"Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!" I yelled, he slipped a beautiful (and shiny) ring onto my ring finger.

He stood up and wrapped his arms around me, kissing me several times. I heard clapping and looked past him to see his whole family, OUR whole family watching us with huge smiles.
