"What could be so important? It's not like you were planning on asking me to marry you or anything," she said with a laugh.

"Umm… well, actually… you see I was kinda…" Oh holy shit! Damn that evil pixie and her big mouth. I was in for it now.

"I, um, uh…"

"Well, um.." As I watched him stutter like that, I suddenly realized how close to the truth I really was. He couldn't actually be… he wouldn't, would he?

I blanched at the thought.

"Are you, Edward?" I reached out a tentative hand with shaking fingers to touch his arm. I silently prayed that he would say no.

Renee would never approve, Charlie would head straight for his gun. If he said yes, I wasn't sure what I would do.

I loved him with all my heart, but I just wasn't ready for a step like that.

"Edward, answer me. Were you planning on something like that?" My voice was barely louder than a whisper.

He looked up at me and those deep green eyes I had grown to love showed a fear I had never known. He nodded. I tried to keep his gaze, but it was all too much.

My eyes rolled to the back of my head and the lightheadedness I felt earlier finally overwhelmed me.

EPOV:

I reached out and caught her before she fell to the ground.

Why did I have to nod my head yes?

I shouldn't have said yes. She's not ready for that. I ruined everything.

Lifting up her body, I checked to make sure she was alright. After years of watching Carlisle, I knew what to look for. Her pulse was strong and she was breathing and her pupils weren't dilated, so that eased me some. She probably just fainted.

I set her on the blanket and called to her softly.

Her eyelids fluttered open, but as her eyes focused on me, she shut them tightly and shook her head softly, mumbling to herself.

"Bella, Bella, please open your eyes, please." I begged to her.

"Please tell me that was a dream," she muttered, mostly to herself.

I helped her sit up and took her hands in my own.

"Isabella Marie Swan, I love you with all my heart, mind, body, and soul, more than I could ever love anything or anyone. I know your views on marriage and you fear your mother's lack of approval, but I still love you anyway. I want to be with you forever. I don't want anything coming between us. I need to be with you like a heart needs a beat. Please understand where I'm coming from." I kissed her hands up her arms to her face.

"Please, love me too." I whispered against her temple.

"Please, be mine." I kissed her forehead.

"Please, stay with me." I kissed her nose.

"Please, understand what I'm saying." I kissed her cheek.

"Please, don't leave me." I kissed her other cheek.

"Please, love no one else." I kissed her jaw.

"Please, marry me." I kissed her lips. It was light and tender, feather light, barely touching. I leaned in more to show her how much she meant to me. I pulled back quickly, trying to gauge her reaction.

Her eyes were brimming with unshed tears.

"Don't be scared, don't leave," I whispered against her lips as I leaned my forehead against hers.

My tears were threatening to spill; the anxiety was too much.

I would die if she said no.

The war waging within her was so clearly visible. Did I love her enough to let her go so she wouldn't have to endure the pain of her family's disapproval?

Maybe, but I was selfish too. I was still human, after all.

"Bella, please speak to me."

The thoughts were passing through her face and I finally saw the conviction in her eyes.

"I love you. I want to be with you. I will never leave you. I'm yours, all yours. I will marry you. I want to become Mrs. Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. I will become Mrs. Isabella Cullen."

I stared at her incredulously, but the joy was overwhelming and it won out.

"You want to marry me?" she nodded, biting her lower lip, blushing.

"I love you, Bella Cullen. I will make you mine."

We both shed our tears, the love and happiness surging through us.

She lunged forward and kissed me, slow at first, then it grew more aggressive and demanding, and we were panting. "I love you, I love you, I love you."

"I know. And I love you too. I'm never letting you leave me."

"I won't let anything make me leave. You're my love, my life, Bella. Never forget that."

Sorry, I know it's short. Writer's block. Plus really bad hand problems.

WARNING!!!: MOTRIN DOES NOT WORK! Well, not for me that is.

This story has started out with fluff, but pretty soon it will move on to the darker side. I don't think I have the tear-jerker gift, but I'll try my best. I can't guarantee an update. For now, just think of this story as HIATUS. I'll try getting back on track. Sorry bout it sucking!

Enjoy WMUWSE!
