Chapter 13- New Beginnings
I sat there in shock. Did he really just...he didn't did, holy crap he did. Edward Cullen just asked me to marry him. The question was, did I want too?
I mean we have been only back together for a few days and realistically we had only been together six months. Does one really agree to marry someone after such a short period of time?
I thought back to my parents and how they married young but didn't last, I thought about how people would think that we were too young or that I was pregnant. Could I deal with that?
I looked into his beautiful golden eyes and nearly wept. He looked so hopeful yet so scared and just a stupid man in love. The vision from the fountain came to mind again. The two of us together and it just made sense. He was it for me!
I must have waited too long because his face fell and he started to babble about how he understood, it was too soon, how he was just so happy and didn't want to waste any more time.
I put my finger to his lips to shush him but he kept babbling about if I wasn't ready then he understood so I zapped him.
"Did you just zap me while I was trying to propose?" he gasped and I giggled.
"Yeah well you were rambling and I had to shut you up so I could give you my answer" I told him as I wiped the tears from my eyes.
"Bella, sweetheart if you're not ready I understand. It's too soon and I should have thought of a better way to do this" he rambled again.
"Yes" is all I said
"And I get it, we're only 18, well you are and I know what people will say, wait...what?" he asked with wide eyes.
"I said yes" I giggled as the tears streamed down again.
He didn't say anything; he just picked me up and twirled me around as he dry sobbed against my neck.
"Oh Bella, you have no idea how happy you have made me" he whispered as he placed the ring on my finger and gave it a reverent kiss.
"I love you" I said
"As I love you" he said
"You sure you wanna marry me, you know crazy moods that change the weather, future queen of the supernatural world who can electrify or set your ass on fire?" I giggled.
"It'll keep me in line and I wouldn't have it any other way" he chuckled as he kissed me so deeply that I was dizzy.
"Sleep sweetheart, I'll be here in the morning" he whispered as he pulled me down to the bed and against his chest.
I awoke the next morning, feeling absolutely drained until I caught sight of something sparkling on my left hand. OH MY GOD! Last night really happened, holy crow I was engaged. I was engaged to Edward Cullen and the ring, my god. I didn't really look at it last night because of the tears and the then sleeping but wow!
It was oval shaped and covered in diamonds and I couldn't believe how well fit. It was like it was made for me.
I admired it for a bit in the light coming through my window and then a cool hand gently grabbed my hand and held it to his lips.
"Good morning beautiful" Edward said softly as he held me a little tighter and kissed my shoulder.
"Mmm, it is" I said as I snuggled further into his embrace.
"Are you still okay about last night?" he asked softly and I was confused.
"Huh?" I asked
"Last night and the umm, well you know" he stated as he held up the hand with my ring on it and I knew he was talking about our engagement.
"Yes of course. Why wouldn't I be?" I said
"Well it's just that sometimes things can appear differently in the light and once you've slept on it" he said and I felt his body tense. He was so ridiculous.
"You think too much" I chuckled and turned around to face him and watched as his brow turned down.
"I do not" he argued and I snorted.
"Oh please, yes you do and you know it. And for the record, I have thought about it and yes I'm okay with it and yes I still wanna marry you. Are you ready for the responsibility?" I asked him.
"Of course, I will spend the rest of eternity protecting you" he stated as he kissed me softly.
"Well good, but I think there is something else you need to be ready for" I told him as I tried to come up with the words. I had thought about this a lot and I needed to know that he was ready for it.
"What love?" he asked looking so cute and confused that I giggled and kissed him sweetly.
"Edward, what we saw in the fountain, the vision from Danu. Edward, I'm going to be queen of the supernatural world someday, I'll be responsible for the protection of so many. If we get married that could mean that you'll be the king, my consort according to books that I read. Are you ready for that?" I asked him and his eyes went wide.
"Wow, I forgotten about that, but it changes nothing. I would love nothing more than to be by your side, as your protector, your husband and if vampires are allowed to be king then so be it. As long as I'm with you Bella I don't care. I just want you in whatever way possible" he stated and I kissed him hard as I pulled him down towards me on the bed.
"Is my dad gone?" I panted
"Yup, left about an hour ago" he said as his hands skimmed down my side and my hands pushed up his shirt. Good god, I needed to stop but I really didn't know if I could. Was this too soon?
His lips skimmed along my cheek and neck until his tongue found this incredible spot below my ear that left me panting like a dog in heat. Screw the waiting.
"Edward" I gasped as his hand touched my breast.
"Bella, tell me to stop" he begged, his voice hoarse, his eyes were so dark and all I could feel was his hardness pressing into me so deliciously.
"Why?" I asked as my body arched towards him.
"Because I need you too much. I want you so badly but it's too soon and I've never done anything like this but just the engagement, you saying yes, here like this. Bella, baby please tell me to stop" he begged
"Do you wanna stop Edward?" I asked him as my lips found his neck. I didn't want to stop but if he did then I would. I sure as hell wasn't going to tell him no. I was sick of waiting and torturing each other when we both knew what we wanted.
"Noooooo" he moaned as my fingers unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it from his arms.
"Then don't" I stated and he snapped kissing me hard and deep. His tongue was fighting mine for dominance and I gave up easily and relished the low moan he made as his hands caressed my flesh.
He sat up and pulled his shirt completely off and helped me take mine off. No words were said as we removed clothes and dove back under the covers and his body covered mine.
I felt hot all over, even with his cool skin touching every part of me. He kissed me so sweetly as his hands explored and my feet wrapped around his waist and he bucked into me which caused us both to moan.
"Bella I need you" he whispered, the need and lust evident in his voice.
"Please Edward. Please make love to me" I groaned
"Damn" he groaned as he got up and I was ready to zap him.
"What, Edward that is not something I wanna hear right now" I frowned thinking he changed his mind.
"I don't have anything. I don't know if there is any venom in my well you know and I don't know what it will do to you" he said as he ran his hand through his hair roughly.
"Don't care" I gruffed and pulled him back down.
"But Bella" he mumbled as I kissed him.
"Screw it, please. It'll be fine Edward" I told him and relaxed once he sighed and continued to kiss me.
He pinched my nipple as his tongue licked and nipped at the other and I was writhing beneath him, the wetness seeping out onto my thighs as I bucked my hips.
"Edward, please" I moaned and nearly came apart as he licked my stomach and nuzzled the curls between my legs.
"God baby, your scent. You smell incredible" he stated and I melted at the term of endearment.
"You smell so good, fertile" he stated "I wish we could have that" he said sadly
"Who says we can't?" I told him
"Bella, my kind can't have children. Esme and Rose would love nothing more to have children but vampires can't love" he said and I could see how upset this was making him.
"I'm a witch, remember? If I want something I will make it happen" I stated proudly. If he wanted children I would move the earth to give it to him. Suddenly the vision of a little boy with copper hair as wild as a lion entered my mind as well as a vision of a chubby little girl with brown hair.
"You would want that?" he gasped.
"Yes, but only with you" I stated and he snapped. He gripped my hips and flipped us over so I was straddling him. He positioned my hips over his erection and helped as I slid down over him and groaned at how full I felt. It hurt but the coolness of his skin helped to soothe the ache. Thank god my hymen had been broken long ago due to the many accidents I had.
I slid down slowly and hissed as my muscles stretched to accommodate him. It stung like hell but the attention he was paying to my chest was just enough of a distraction.
"Good god Bella!" he stated as his head flew back as I tested the waters and slowly rose and fell over him as I tried to find some rhythm. I had no idea what I was doing, I just went by instinct.
I looked at Edward below me. He was a vision of beauty, with his mouth open, his eyes closed and I could hear a low rumbling in his throat which seemed to just spur me on.
I moved back and forth and tried clenching my muscles that I had read about in those damn cosmo magazines. It took a few tries and I didn't think I was doing it right until he let out a snarl that shook the entire room and I gasped as it made me fall over the edge.
Edward sat up and wrapped his arms around me as he gently flipped us so he was on top of me. I gasped again as he slid in a little further and a little deeper, hitting me in this wonderful spot that made my heart stutter and my breath to become short.
"Edward" I gasped
"Bella, my god, I never knew" he stammered as he drove in a little harder and I noticed that the room started to change. The ceiling above my bedroom disappeared and the sun was shining brightly along with the walls changing to trees and my bed still felt like a bed but as I looked to the side I could see grass and wild flowers.
"Bella" Edward said as he stopped and looked around and I immediately knew that I had transformed my bedroom into our meadow, it was a place that was just ours and a symbol of the love we shared.
"Just go with it" I whispered not wanting to ruin the spell I apparently had cast.
He nodded and kissed me deeply again as he moved in and out of my heat as I clung to his shoulders, and my legs wrapped around his waist.
"Bella I don't think I can hold out much longer" he panted and I was right there with him.
He reached a hand between us and pressed on my clit and I lost all sense of reason as a blinding light shot out of me as I fell off the edge bringing Edward with me as he let out a guttural growl and collapsed on top of me.
I was breathing hard and I could feel tears leak from my eyes as I watched our meadow fade away. It was one of the most wonderful experiences I've ever had.
I didn't even know I was sobbing until Edward looked at me with a frown and starting apologizing.
I shushed him and crawled up his chest and snuggled as close as I could.
"Bella, sweetheart, are you okay?" he asked softly and I nodded "Then why the tears love? Bella I'm so sorry if I hurt you, I tried to control my strength" he stated and I kissed him to shut him up.
"Edward, shhhhh. It was the most wonderful thing I've ever had. Please just hold me for a while" I whispered and he placed a kiss to my temple and lay back so I was against his chest. He moved me to the side of him and rolled me so my back was to his front and then he wrapped his arms around me and held me tight.
"You look different" Jake stated.
Edward and his family went hunting and he didn't want me left alone so I told him I would hang out in LaPush for the day. Even though he knew I could defend myself, he would always be my overprotective vampire and I had vowed to stop being so stubborn so I told him I would hang out with the pack just in case.
"I feel different" I told, not able to keep the smile off my face or the blush as I thought about why I felt so different. Who knew sex could change a girl.
"Hmm. Okay then. Well Emily is having a bbq, wanna come with?" he asked
"Duh" I told him as I punched his arm, making sure to zap him or else he wouldn't feel it.
"For Christ sakes Bells, could you keep the electricity to yourself? Damn woman that stung" he pouted
"Oh poor Jakey, you got a boo boo" I taunted and he flipped me off.
"You're a pain in the ass you know that?" he huffed
"Ha, pot kettle Mr. Now come on, I'm hungry and I'll make sure Leah kisses your boo boo better" I laughed and then shoved him as he got this dreamy look in his eye.
We walked along slowly and I had to ask him since Edward had brought it up. "Hey Jake, umm why hadn't you imprinted on Leah before? I mean you had to see her around since you shifted" I asked.
"No not really. Umm you see, Sam and Leah use to be together, engaged and everything. Anyways Emily is Leah's cousin and she came for a visit, Sam saw her and well the rest is history. Leah was so pissed and took off to visit family for a while up at the Makah reservation. She only came back when her dad died and I had been busy with patrols so the other night was the first time I had seen her since I shifted" he explained.
"Does she know everything now?" I asked as we made our way up the path to Sam and Emily's
"Yeah, she does, it's a rule. She's good with it and it helped her understand what happened with Sam and helped her forgive her cousin. She thought Emily just stole him but now she knows that it was out of their control" he explained with a shrug.
"That's good. So you're happy about this?" I asked. I needed to know that he was okay with it. I knew he had feelings for me and maybe deep down I may have felt something for him but it was always Edward in my heart but Jake was my best friend and I would always need to know he was okay.
"Well to be honest, when I shifted and heard about the whole imprinting thing I thought it was completely ridiculous and I wanted no part of it. I'm ashamed to admit it and I'm sure you know, but I was in love with you Bella. I knew that the blood, I mean Edward was the only one in your heart but I really did believe that I could make you love me just the same. I was a fool Bella, I thought if I loved you enough then I could ignore the imprinting gene. God I was an idiot. Don't get me wrong Bells, I truly do think we would have been good together but it would have been blown straight out of the water the moment I saw Leah again. I'm not saying it would have happened like it did the other night but at some point I'm sure I would have and well, I know now I wouldn't have been able to ignore it" he explained and I felt for him. I knew what it was like to want someone and not be able to ignore the feeling.
I nudged him with my hip and we walked onto Sam and Emily's. I smiled as Jake caught sight of Leah talking to Emily and practically bulled her over as he swept her off her feet and she giggled into his neck and squealed happily. The kiss he planted on her made me blush and miss Edward even more!
"Hey vampire girl" Emily said softly as she came to stand next to me and I could see that she held her head a little higher now that the cheek that marred her beauty was now gone. I was still in denial that it was me.
"Hey Wolf girl" I smiled. Ever since I did what I did, Emily was practically attached to me every time I came over. I told her I didn't even know if it was me but she was welcome nonetheless.
"I'm so happy for them both" she said softly and I knew she meant Jake and Leah.
"Me too" I said as I watched him swing her around and wrap his big arms around her waist and she would giggle like a teenager as he kissed her neck. It was so sweet and a little heart breaking. I was glad that Edward was back, if this had happened a few months ago I would not have been able to watch it but my heart still gave a twinge reminding me that Edward wasn't there with me.
"So Bells, what up with the bloodsuckers?" Quil shouted and I shot my fingers at him making him to fall to the ground twitching a little.
"How many times do I have to zap you before you stop calling them that?" I sighed as Quil got up, shivered and then smiled as he shook his head at me and mumbled an apology.
"Whoa Bella, is that a ring on your finger?" Paul shouted and I turned beet red
"Umm yeah, it's a ring" I said shyly and then Emily grabbed my hand and held up the ring closer to her face.
"Girl, that ain't just any ring, that's an engagement ring" she shouted
"Holy shit, he proposed" Jake bellowed and I nodded
"And you agreed?" he was shaking and then Leah slapped him causing him to stop his shaking and look at her in astonishment.
"Jacob William Black, she loves him and him her, so stop with the damn prejudice. She can marry whoever the hell she wants" Leah yelled and Jake just nodded and I chuckled and mouthed a thanks to Leah.
"Umm Le Le, how did you just slap Jake and not break your hand" Sam asked and I watched Leah turn pale.
"Umm, not sure, just stronger I guess" she stammered and I narrowed my eyes. Something didn't feel right and then my mind did that hazy thing again where I see stuff no one else can see. I saw two wolves standing in place of Jake and Leah. Jake's wolf I was familiar with but the other wolf was a beautiful white and just slightly smaller to Jake's wolf.
"She's a wolf" I said.
Didn't see that coming did ya? Okay well we all know that Leah became a wolf somewhere between the second and third book, I thought it would be a great change to have it more like this. Hope you like it!
Okay so next chapter and I've already started writing it, we'll find out how Leah became a wolf. Stay tuned!
Later lassies, let me know what ya think!
