Edward and Bella were laying in bed, Bella had her head buried in his chest. Edward only smiled, just lying down in a certain spot made her more adorable then ever.
"What are you thinking about?" Edward said out of nowhere.
"Us." She replied back simply.
"That is so vague since there is so much to 'us'." Edward laughed.
"I don't know, I mean I'm actually kinda excited." Bella almost hated to admit it.
"Well that's good, at least I know I'm not the only one remotely excited about our marriage." He stroked her hair and smiled, he knew what was coming next.
"Edward, don't be like that. You know I want to marry you, it's just I never thought it would be this soon." She hated it when Edward tried to put words in her mouth.
"I know, I just love messing with you!" Edward laughed, it almost felt as if he couldn't stop, he was the happiest he could ever remember. "So ,Bella, did you want this engagement to be long or short?" Edward didn't care either way he would marry her. If it were long though there were bound to be some snags on the way.
Bella was thinking along the same lines "Let's make it short. How long does Alice need?"
"Well the party is tomorrow so... lets say in a week."
"TOMORROW? How she just found out." There was no way Alice is that fast.
"Oh, Bella, you forgot one crucial thing."
Bella let out a sigh. "How long did she know?" Bella felt so stupid of course, Alice knew,even before Edward did.
"A week , she saved Charlie for last and had everyone keep it under wraps, even Rene."
"So does that mean you..." Bella was kind of disappointed her answer was supposed to be secret until told.
"Like I said she had everyone keep it under wraps, even me. She told everyone to act as if we weren't engaged yet." Edward laughed.
Bella let out a deep breath, what a relief.
The rest of the day they laid in bed and talked about the wedding and about what Alice had up her sleeve for the party.
At eight o'clock on the dot, Charlie came up and knocked on the door.
"Okay you two, I know your getting married and all but we still have our agreed rules, so good night, Edward."
Edward just smiled. "Of course sir, I was just saying good night to Bella."
Charlie smile and walked down the hallway with the door still open.
"I will see you in the morning, you've had yet another big day, and you really need the rest."
"Of course, thank you so much again for helping me with Charlie." Bella leaned in and kissed him gently. "So when is the magical day you will change me?" Bella was so excited for this part of the engagement, her change, her final leap to forever being Edward's.
"Well I was thinking about the wedding night."
Bella smiled, he had really put thought into this, which meant he was excited about changing her as well.
"The wedding night would be perfect." Bella smiled she couldn't wait.
Till death do us part, so we shall be together forever! Edward loved the thought of that.
He kissed Bella good night and left the room, said good bye to Charlie, and drove off.
How could I ever think of not changing Bella? Was I that blind that I couldn't see that this IS what she wants. She is willing to give up everything to be with me and my family.
If Edward could cry he would do it just now, not out of sadness, but out of happiness and excitement.
The next morning Bella woke up to none other then her fiancée smiling over at her. Edward was sitting in the rocking chair he had spent so many nights in spying on her.
"Good morning." He said simply.
"Good morning." She said back.
"Did you know, that you look very cute when you are asleep?"
Bella smile. "Well you better soak it up now, in a week I won't have to sleep."
"Hmmmm, that's true." Edward was stroking his chin in a thoughtful manner. "Well that just means I can't change you. I mean if I can't see you sleep what's the point." Edward finished with a serious face.
Bella got out of bed and hopped over to the chair and sat on Edward's lap.
"Now that I think of it,when I am changed you will look like just another vampire, nothing special. So what's the point?" Bella tried to have an equally serious face. "We should just call it all off, the party and the wedding." Bella just shrugged her shoulders.
Edward laughed and kissed her, between kisses he said "You're...not...getting...out of...this...that...easy."
He finished the kiss and stroked the side of her face.
"I wouldn't even think about getting out of this." Then she gave him one more kiss.
"I better go, I have to help Alice decorate."
"Well I can come with you and we could all help." Bella want to spend as much time with him as possible.
"No, you stay here relax, you have been through two big days, I want you to rest." Edward always had the best interest for her.
"Hey,Edward, I have a question and it's serious."
"Okay, then I have an answer and it'll be serious."
Bella smiled. Smart Ass.
"Will I lose my...my smell, when I am changed." This had worried Bella for a while now.
"No, no you won't, your smell is with you to the end of time. It is what make us different from each other. Why do you ask."
"Well, my smell is what brought you to me, so I just want it to be there to remind you maybe of why you picked me." Bella finished with a sad smile.
"Bella, know this, yes your scent brought us together, but that is not the thing that keeps us one. It is you, just being you."
A tear fell down Bella's cheek as she whispered, "I love you."
Edward pulled her into a hug and whispered into her ear, "I love you too." And wiped the tear away.
