On with the story…

-Shannon

This starts off in Bella's point of view.

And there he sat. Sitting there with Jasper. Well, Jasper wasn't sitting. He was madly trying to straighten Edward's tux. I stiffled a giggle, but they both heard me. Jasper was gone within a milli-second.

Edward stood up.

"Bella, I…" he started. I just looked at him. I couldn't get used to him. I just couldn't.

I slowly took a small step towards him, but tripped. I prepared myself for the impact, but instead of meeting black, I met bright topaz. Edward set me down. Then he took a step away from me.

He looked at the ground. "Bella, I'm sorry." He whispered. I didn't know why though. I didn't know why he wouldn't look at me, either.

"Edward?" I whispered back, trying to catch his eyes. "Edward, please look at me." He glanced up at me, trying to be subtle, it was obvious. His gaze went back down immediately.

"Are you angry with me?" He said. I was shocked. He wouldn't come more than a foot from me.

"Edward?" I repeated, I had started to cry. But I knew that he could hear me. He just didn't want to come close. It was obvious.

"Yes?" he asked.

He finally looked up. Our eyes locked. Before I knew it he was lunging at me. He just hugged me as I sobbed. I had my arms firmly wrapped around his neck, and his around my waist. I had missed him so much.

"Bella, we need to sit down." He said into my hair.

I obediently sat down into his lap, not letting any distance between our bodies.

"I love you, Edward. Please don't go. Please. I need you. I want you here. I can't live without you. My life is nothing without you. Don't leave me!" I cried to him, holding him closer, still.

He started to sob dry tears.

" Bella, I couldn't ever leave. It wasn't permanent! How could you think that I would leave you? Don't you get it? I love you. I infuriate myself! (directly from Twilight) My life is empty, nothingness without you. How can you be so willing?" He exclaimed. Well, I was officially confused.

"But… you promised me. You promised that you wouldn't leave again! Then two days later, I found out you were visiting with Tanya? How am I supposed to handle t hat?" I said, after I had stopped crying.

"Bella, I promise you, I didn't go visit Tanya. I went to her clan to ask if any of them had been with a human before. No one had. I was only going to ask for advice. You know that I could never leave you. Don't you?" he asked. This was going to be difficult.

"Yes, Edward. I'm just… feeling so many things and…" I couldn't decide whether or not I was to angry to forgive him.

"It's okay. I understand if-" I kissed him with all of the passion that I felt for him. It was deeper than we had ever experienced before. There was an edge of… something in it. I just couldn't put my finger on what that something was.

We both broke away, panting heavily.

"Well. Now that THAT part's over with." I said. He chuckled, embracing me once more.

"You have no idea how much I missed you." He whispered passionately.

Oh, he had no idea how much I had missed him. Well, time for step two…

A/N: Used to be a cliffie, but is now the original Chapters 6 and 7 combined! You're welcome.

Mucho love,

Shannon

A/N: Hello, all! If you are a continuing reader... I love you. I have to give you the grand excuse of my life: I was busy.

Thanks so much for sticking by me, and this story! I love you all more and more every day! :)

"So, Edward…" I didn't want to pressure him, but I just had to get it out.

"I have a question for you. You might not want to hear it, but you have to." I felt like a pregnant butterfly. There were so many butterflies in my stomach, for all I know, I might be.

"Okay, love. Shoot." He mumbled from my hair. I was nestled into his lap, trying to form a question without hyperventilating.

"Well, I was just wondering if… if maybe…" I stuttered. This was too painful.

"Bella; please. Just spit it out." He sounded anxious and slightly crazed.

"'-" I stopped talking when I looked at his face. He looked so utterly confused that I couldn't contain my laughter.

His face seemed to soften at the sound.

"Hey Bella, can you do something for me?" He asked quietly. I instantly stiffened in his arms.

I was past coherency. His dazzling always did this to me.

"Could you repeat the question?" He whispered.

"Ha-ha, sure. I was just wondering if maybe you were having…" I trailed off, and then continued under my breath, hoping he wouldn't hear me. "Second thoughts about the wedding."

Stupid super-sonic vampire hearing. Of course he heard me. He in fact, seemed… angry?

"Bella do you have any inkling of an idea how long it took me to convince you to marry me? Too long. I thought you knew that I meant what I said when I proposed. You are my life. My world. My everything. I don't care if you're human, or you think you're not good enough for me. You are perfect Bella; exactly the way that you are. Honestly, there isn't about you that could change when you join me and my family. You are more than good enough for me. You are beautiful, Bella. You are so kind, sweet and caring, and you know exactly what to do for me when I'm wrong. I love you, through the good," he gestured to our entwined hands, "the bad," he continued, gesturing sadly to himself, "and the very, very beautiful." He finished, gesturing, with a smile, to me.

Here come the waterworks.

"Oh, Edward. I love you, too, so, so much. Please; let's just forget about this and go home. And I mean home, home."

His smile could have lit up the entire Olympic Peninsula.

"Okay." He was still smiling when he carefully tossed me onto his back, and still when we went crashing through his front door.

"EDWARD!" screamed Alice. "GET YOUR VAMPIRE BUT DOWN HERE!"

Oh god. Here it comes.

A/N: THANK YOU ALL I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND I HAVE TO GET OFF IMMEDIATELY OR I CAN'T UPDATE FOR TWO MONTHS, BUT I PROMISE THAT I WILL UPDATE THREE TIMES IN THE NEAR FUTURE!

Or, you know, four years later. It's whatever. :) Re-vamped (ha) 06/23/12
