Dedication- To the 12 people who reviewed 2 HOURS AFTER IT WAS UPDATED! Really, you guys deserve money…I'm amazed.

Previously on Everlasting Love

I saw his bronze hair and green eyes that amazingly resembled my loves. I knew this face immediately. Edwards Words confirmed it.

"Dad…"

"Edward….Miss Swan. How nice of you to join us, I'm sure you remember this isn't our first meeting." His voice was so cold. I couldn't even believe this man could be Edwards's father.

"Nice to see you again sir." I said, my tone dead sounding.

"Hm, so I'm surprised you're not on the streets….I mean, since your house and money is gone. Why are you even here now Miss Swan?" He asked, his cold polite tone still ringing in my ears after every sentence.

"Um…well…" I couldn't even find words to express my anger…so I decided to use my brilliant comment of 'Um well'

"Yes, I'm waiting Miss Swan."

"That's enough father!" Edward scolded. I knew I loved Edward before, but now he's a life saver.

"Why Edward, I was just engaging conversation, you rudely interrupted, you're usually not so careless."

"Father, may I have a word with you out in the hallway please?" Edward asked, acid dripping from his voice.

"Of course son." Edward Sr. said with a smug smile. The whole way out Edward was glaring at his father…the phrase I once heard if looks could kill suddenly came into mind.

"Mother! Can you come here and stay with Bella please." Edward said, trying to keep his voice in control. I heard footsteps come down the hall. I saw them exchange glances…Elizabeth's eyes narrowed at her husband.

"Of course dear. Bella, come with me to the guest room so we can try to find you something to wear today." I nodded, to afraid and extremely angry to talk. I followed Elizabeth to guest room. After I walked in, she closed the door and got on her knees. "Bella, words cannot describe how sorry and ashamed I am of him, please don't look at our family any differently." She said, the words spilling out." I didn't even know what to say, so I did the best thing I could think of. I lied.

"Mrs. Ma-Elizabeth, its fine." I said, attempting to regain my composure. "But…might I ask…why he feels that way about me?" I said, sitting on the bed. She sat next to me and sighed.

"Well, when my husband attempts to go against someone in law, he mentally develops reasons to hate them; it can be the smallest of things, from hair color…to how they talk. But, he always finds something, to attempt to not feel guilty about hurting them. It usually works…but it must have been a surprise to find the person you aimed to hate getting a'smittin' with your son."

"Ah…about that…I'm really sorry, I don't know what came over m-"

"Darling, don't worry about it. I know what it's like to be young and in love. How do you think Edward came about?" She said giggling. I felt myself blush, talking about your lover's birth to your lover's parents, isn't the most comforting thing. "Isabella, I would like to talk to you about something else as well."

"Yes?"

"I think my son is in love with you." She stated rather bluntly. I felt my blush deepen to an even darker red. "Don't be embarrassed dear. It's just amazing how you found him. Edward has been of age for a while, and we've introduced him to many women, that were perfect for him. Edward didn't show interest to any of them. When I asked him why all he said was 'The only woman I love is lady liberty, and I will do anything to defend her.'(The statue of Liberty was 21 years old) Then, you Bella, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen walked into my house with him. I could actually feel the love coming off of him. I haven't seen him smile like that for years. When you went to bed last night, Edward came up to talk to me. He said he didn't want to go to war anymore. Bella…I would like to thank you. Whenever I thought of Edward going to war, I felt myself cringing, you saved him Bella, you saved his life." She said. I heard the hysteria in her voice. I felt my heart deepen for Edwards mother, she had the same worry I had. War was a scary thing, and you can loose someone so easily. So, I did the thing I wanted most when my dear brother died. I hugged her. She hugged me back while a small smile played on her face. "Thank you Bella, my daughter." She said smiling. My mouth opened up at this.

"Your dau-daughter." She just shrugged at me and smiled. I was about to ask why she called me her daughter when Edward came through the door, looking panicked. Elizabeth smiled and got up. She put a hand on her sons' shoulder, before leaving the room. As soon as she closed the door, Edward literary jumped on me, tackling me on the bed. "Bella. I. Am. So. Sorry." He said, breaking between every word to kiss me. After he kissed just about every part of my face, I let out a small laugh and pushed him off of me.

"Edward, Edward it's fine, your mother told me what your father does. It's a perfectly reasonable explanation." I said, pulling myself up to sit on the couch. Edward sat up to, placing his hand in mine.

"Well, he will be on his best behavior from now on. Trust me." He said, his eyes smoldering with fury.

"Edward, he's your father, I hope you didn't yell at him to much." I said, half-teasing, half-scolding.

"Bella, he deserved it. He was cold to the woman I love." He said, smiling at me. I smiled back. "Bella…I want to tell you something."

"Yes Edward?"

"Bella…I know….it's only been a day…..but, I feel something for you that I have never felt for someone. I love you so much, I can't even express it. Whenever I see you, my world grows. The stars in the sky's seem to be a whole lot brighter. Your smile illuminates the most beautiful glow in the world. Whenever you blush, I feel myself glow inside. You are the most beautiful, kind, most smart woman I have ever met in my life. I will give you a proper proposal soon, but I just want to know that you'll always be mine. Bella, make me a promise, that you'll be mine forever."

I felt myself tearing up as I gave my answer "Of course Edward, Forever."

"Oh Bella, after talking to my father….I knew you were the one…I love you."

"I love you too." And that was it. We knew that we would love each other forever. He pulled me into a long kiss, I felt us both smile as we were holding each other. I knew that we were going to be like this. Forever.

"I'm sorry, I have no ring for you." He said, as he leaned his forehead against mine.

"Its fine Edward, I don't even need a ring." I said. He gave me a pained look, as if I stabbed him in the heart. And then, he gasped. Yes, he actually gasped

"Bella, of course you need a ring. You are my future wife, and I mean to spoil you every way possible. Of course, during your real proposal, you'll have a beautiful ring." He said, smiling. I let out a sigh, I did not like to be spoiled, but I knew Edward was going to anyway.

"Fine, just be sure to not spoil me that much." I said, my arms crossed.

"Only enough my love, only enough." He smiled at me and took my arms away from my chest, holding them in his. "Bella-"

"EDWARD!" We heard Elizabeth scream. "EDWARD, YOUR FATHERS SHAKING! HE WON'T GET UP! COME DOWN QUICK!" She screamed, I heard the hysteria leaking through her voice for the second time today. Edward grabbed my arm and ran down stairs. We saw Edward Sr. on the floor, shaking and sweating. Edward gasped behind me, and ran. I ran after him, he was at the phone already, calling someone.

"Yes, yes sir. Please hurry. He's shaking and sweating, it seems like he just fell. Is that it? Thank you sir." He hung up the phone and ran into the room again. Elizabeth was on her knees next to her husband crying. Edward sunk to her side immediately, holding his small mother in his large arms. "Mother….father caught a disease." He said slowly, the words shaking out of his mouth. "But, not just any disease. Mother, he caught it, he caught the Spanish influenza."
