Crazier- Taylor Swift

You lift my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I
I'm lost in your eyes
You make me Crazier Crazier Crazier

Proposals and Parties Part One

Edward's Point of View

"Edward, Bella, and Emmett do you have any more questions for me? As you know the insemination is scheduled for next week and it is of vital importance that you voice any concerns now." Carlisle asked us. He looked at each of us in turn, before finally accepting our silence and smiles as acceptance. "You are free to leave."

We gathered our things and as I tried to leave Carlisle held me back. "Edward, I am aware you are proposing tonight. Are you ok with everything? Do you need a hand, I'm sure that your brothers will help if necessary."

"Carlisle, I have everything under control, I am going to propose after dinner, during the joy ride I am sure she will want to take." I answered my creator. That almost makes him sound like God, calling him my creator. I guess I am Ryan's creator, but it is still weird. I need to get these nerves out of my system before I kill someone. Not literally kill, but verbally assault. O crap I need help!

"Edward, take a chill pill! She will say yes. With as close as you have gotten recently I am sure that you will have no problems getting her to agree to an eternity with you. That is one thing we are going to bring up at dinner as a family. I feel it needs to be addressed."

"Do you think she will say yes to this life?"

"I honestly do Edward. I highly doubt she would deny her son an eternity with her. Are you going to bring up the thought of more children with her?"

"After I propose, yes. I would like more. Ryan is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I want to make sure forever is in the cards first."

"Good luck son. I'll see you at home after I finish here. Cloudy days are starting to come more often and I need to catch up on all the work I missed during the summer." Carlisle told me ending our conversation.

I waved goodbye, not wanting to speak more then I had too. My voice was squeaky from nerves and my stomach felt like it was in my throat. If I were human I'm sure I'd be retching into the nearest bush. I hope she says yes.

A few hours later and several shots of Jaeger, I was in the bedroom with another guy! Wait! WTF! Why did I just think that? I think I'm losing it. First I have thoughts about running head on into trees repeatedly and now I'm rewriting Offspring songs in my head, to make then apply to me. God, where is a shrink vampire when you need one. I think if this whole waiting to propose to the love of my life thing lasts any longer I am going to go completely mental. At least I'm not singing Katy Perry out loud, now that would call some unwanted attention to myself.

Bella is worried about me. She is hopping around like a bunny trying to weasel an answer out of me. Nope, sorry Bells that is not going to happen. I am not going to tell you I want to spend the rest of my bloodsucking life with you, before I tell you I want to spend the rest of my bloodsucking life with you. That did not make any sense. I need a nap and a teddy bear. I think I also need a blood pop. Ya maybe that will calm me down.

I walked down into the living room where our newly purchased candy dish is sitting. I reach my hand into the dish, and pull out a piece of candy designed for me. I tear off the wrapper and stuff the candy into my mouth, relishing in the taste. This time I got Tasmanian devil. You can almost taste the spite. I'm sucking fiercely at the pop, when the person I'm trying to avoid sits in front of me and smiles.

"Honey, you know I'm not giving you tongue until you brush your teeth right?" Bella laughed at me. Aww, the joys of being female. You just have to look at the poor sap while he has his knee in mud, praying you say yes to a lifelong commitment.

I smile, well try to anyway. I can't get over my damn nerves. If I can't man up soon she is totally going to go Jackie Chan on my ass and send me into 2012. "Bella, I will. So are you excited for your special day? We have something magical planned out. "Crap! Why did I have to say that? I am a moron when I am nervous.

"What is magical Kitty?" Urg, I hate that nickname. Like I have told her a thousand times it is perfectly manly for a vampire to be afraid of something with eight legs and has venom. It is also manly for me to purr when my head is rubbed. Carlisle does it too. He can make himself purr. That's wrong, sorry I thought that.

"Just some plans. We all hope you like your gifts." Ha, that should shut her up for a little bit.

"I'll back off for now, but if I don't know about anything in two hours I am going to kick your butt into 2012." See I said she was going to go Jackie Chan on me.

Two Hours later

The family slowly gathered in the dining room, Carlisle putting some take-out Chinese in front of Bella and Ryan. That stuff smells horrible. I don't see why she would rather eat that on her birthday, opposed to something that Esme or I cooked. Then again she is a strange little human.

"Everyone, I would like your full attention for a few moments while I bring up a topic that I feel we need to address as a family."

'Can I still I eat? I mean I know you said full attention but I'm famished and I love low-mien." Bella made me smile. I knew Carlisle wants this discussion to happen over dinner so I answer for him.

"Eat Bella. You just need to say yes or no." She nodded smiled and dug into to her noodles.

"I want to bring up the topic of Bella's change with the family. I know my opinions, however I want to hear what everyone else has to say about Bella living with us forever."

Bella choked on a piece of deep fried meat and spoke after she finished coughing. "If you guys will have me I want to join. I have since I was bitten by James in the studio. I was going to mention it, but somehow it slipped my mind."

"Great, now that we have heard Bella's opinion on the subject, what is everyone else's?" Carlisle continued in his fatherly/ leader way. I need to learn how to mimic that tone and stance.

"I could never separate Ryan from his mother like that." Rose chipped in. I thought she was going to say a flat out no. I guess when you have a child that will turn immortal at the age of seventeen though it changes things.

"I agree." Esme added, "I also want Bella as my daughter completely. Not just as a passing faze. She is not a trend; she is a part of my family."

"A non-breakable Bella! Hells ya. Then she can finally play with us. I bet you are bad ass at video games then Bells." Bella blushed and hid inside her dinner. Emmett had a knack for doing that to her.

"Bella, I want you as a member of this family. I feel that you would be a brilliant asset." Jasper chipped in, his past showing through a little bit.

"I've always wanted her like us! Now it will finally come true! No point in keeping her human when everything she lives for is immortal." Alice spoke leaving me for last. Holy crap how am I going to vocalize this.

"Well, I must say I have a slightly different opinion on the matter then the rest of the family does. I want Bella to be a part of this family; I am just scared of the repercussions. I do feel that we go against the laws of nature and are therefore damned to existence in hell after we are changed. I do not want Bella to undergo eternal damnation. I think Bella is too good of a person to loose her soul for a life when she has another choice." I hope that sounded good.

"Edward I am willing to face damnation and a soulless existence if that means I can live with my family forever. I never want you to be separated from me, and I do not want Ryan to go through the same pain. Please agree to give me a chance at eternal life with you, and the family I want to live with." She was good. She had also made me sense. Keeping her human would only hurt us in the long run.

"I agree to the change, as long as it is what Bella wants." I addressed my family. "Carlisle we haven't heard your opinion yet."

"Mine is much the same as everyone else's. I want Bella to be a part of this family for the rest of time. Bella when you would like to be changed?" Carlisle asked her.

"Can I have some time to think about it? I'm not saying that I don't want to do it. I think that maybe next year after my birthday might work. Although I'm not sure, it is too early to decide on forever." That made me smile, well kinda. It was more of a smile at wanting to wait and a deep sense of despair at the thought that I was going to ask her to marry me and she just said that she was unsure of her thoughts on forever at the moment. I looked at Jasper and he immediately sent me calming waves. Thank god for empaths.

I refocused back on reality to Alice bringing down several small boxes. I hope Bella takes these gifts better then she normally does. I want her to love them.

The first gift she opened contained a reservation slip. Alice had booked Bella, herself, Jasper, and me a four night stay in the penthouse suite of Treasure Island. Bella squealed with joy. "Thank you Alice! I've always wanted to go to Vegas! For once I will actually want to go shopping!" I didn't know the girl could get so excited over a gift.

The second gift was an eighty gigabyte iPod and iTunes gift cards totaling in the thousands. She looked down in awe, and moved on to the next gift. It was a dock and other accessories for her new toy. She finally got to the last box and everyone looked at her more intently. The box contained at least three hundred thousand dollars worth of present and no one knew how she would react.

"Guys, what the hell?" I smiled at her and covered her eyes. I slowly lead her around to the front of the house where a brand new Mercedes AMG coupe and metallic blue and chrome Chevy Avalanche stood waiting for her. I waited until everyone was able to see her face and took my hands off her eyes.

She literally screamed. She immediately broke down into tears and ran in between both cars, trying to hug them both at the same time. Apparently she loved them. She was lost for words beyond a simple thank you and test drive. I agreed to the drive and threw her the keys.

Everyone winked at me before I got into the Mercedes. Damn it they totally knew what I was about to do. Bella took off down the driveway in the incredibly fast piece of sexiness. She bolted around every corner only slowing down when I told her I heard a cop.

She finally found a quiet parking place and I pulled a blanket out from the trunk. She got the memo and sat down with me facing her. It was about time. I knew I would be tossing cookies right now if I could eat them.

I got down on one knee in front of her and took both of her delicate hand in mine. I tried to speak but it came out as a squeak. I cleared my throat and tried again. "Bella, I know we have gone through some rough times, and I know that you are probably scared with all the possibilities the future holds."

An odd look crossed her face one between pain and happiness. I swallowed and started again trying to grow my sack back. "Bella, you are the world to me. You have been since the day I met you. I can never leave again, and I want you to be mine for as long as you will have me."

Tears were flowing down her face. I couldn't tell if she was happy or sad. She looked blank. I found my voice again, ignoring the rustling in the woods and the voices in my head. "Bella will you do me the honor of being my wife, my equal for all eternity. Please, take my heart, all of me. I want to stand by your side forever." I looked at her expectantly for an answer. She opened her mouth to speak, sending a final nervous jolt down my spine.

"Edward, it-" she couldn't continue at that moment because she was suddenly overcome with tears.

End Notes- I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I resorted back to my typical sarcastic writing because I had some serious problems with writers block. I will try to get the next chapter posted ASAP because I know half of you want to kill me from the cliffhanger. The next chapter not only contains Bella's answer, but the trip to Vegas and an almost scientific description of vampire speed. It can't be totally scientific though because I have yet to ask my teacher the speed at which something has to travel before it disappears. I don't have class again until Tuesday, and ithink i want to try and get the next chapter up before then. Please review if you want and I should have the next chapter posted shortly, I promise it won't take longer then a week. I used some inspiration from my own fiance's proposal. It was the most romatic thing he has ever done for me.
