Someday, some boy will come and ask me for your hand.
But I won't say "yes" to him unless I know, he's the half
that makes you whole, he has a poet's soul, and the heart of a man's man.
I know he'll say that he's in love.
But between you and me. He won't be good enough.

"Okay let's go, I got the paper signed and he's passed out," I whispered to Edward as I entered my room. I grabbed my jacket and purse plus the few hundred dollars I had hiding under my bed. We walked out the door on my balcony and down the stairs.

Edward drove late into the night and stopped at a small bed and breakfast. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out.

"Baby, Sweetheart, wake up." I heard whispered in my ear as I came back to consciousness.

"Why?"

"We have to get to the cabin."

"Mmmmmkay." I pulled my body, tiredly, out of the warm bed. I grabbed my purse and pulled out my cell phone. I saw I had ten missed calls, three voicemails, and five text messages. Seven of my missed calls were from my dad and three of them were from Jacob. The texts were from Jacob with the exception of the one from Alice, Edward's sister. I didn't even bother with the voicemails; I knew they would be my father empty, slurred words.

I dialed my dad's work number and on the first ring he picked up.

"Forks police station, Chief Swan speaking."

"Hi Dad."

"Bella," he breathed, "where are you?"

"I'm with Edward in Canada."

"Well I never gave you permission to go."

"Yes you did when you signed my emancipation papers, I became my own guardian."

"I never signed those," He said angrily.

"Yeah you did, last night."

"No, I didn't."

"There's a copy of the papers on your desk. The other set is already with the state of Washington." I hung up and dialed Leah. She knew of my plan and what had gone on for the three months.

"You make it to the hotel okay?" She asked as soon as she picked up.

"Yeah, has Jacob heard anything yet?"

"Just that you left; he is so dense sometimes." I could practically her rolling her eyes.

"I know but you love him anyways; I still can't believe we're both pregnant."

"What? You told Jacob it was negative."

"I told him, he wouldn't be a father to any of the children I had." I said.

"Oh, I see."

"Well I have to go; we have to get back on the road so we can make it to the cabin in time for dinner."

"Okay, well, good luck, take lots of pictures to send me."

"I will, love you Leah."

"Love you too Bells."

We hung up the phone. I turned around to see Edward staring at my butt.

"What are you staring at?"
"You have a nice butt."

"Stop staring it's not nice."

"What? I can't stare at my fiancée's butt? That's absurd."

"I don't have a ring, so I'm not your fiancée."

"We're going ring shopping right now."

"Oh, okay." I grabbed the stuff I had brought in and took them out to the car. While I did that Edward checked us out.
