Ch 17:

Laughing I ran after Malachi, I caught up to him in no time. We ran to the beach that I had spent so much tome on when I was human. "What are we doing at the beach?"

Malachi stopped, turned toward me taking my hand, he got on one knee and said, "Isabella Swan, I know we just met but I feel like I've known you my entire life. And I want to spend the rest of my existance with you as my wife." He paused for a second and reached into his pocket and held up a white gold ring with a small diamond placed in the middle of the band. "So will you do me the honor of being my wife for the rest of our existance?"

By the time he finished his little speech I was crying. The ring he held was my grans engagement ring. "I love you too Malachi." I replied between tears, "and yes I will marry you." I jumped up and he caught me in his arms and flung me around in a circle, causing us both to laugh. "How did you get my grandmother's engagement right?" I asked as he slipped it on my finger.

"When I talked to your father earlier. I told him I was going to propose to you he said 'Bella would love to have her grandma's ring.' and he went and got it." Malachi said laughing.

I laughed too, "I should have figured out what you were up too when you asked to talk to my dad." I sighed, "Alice is almost here... damn her visions." I put on a smile a few seconds before she and Jasper came bounding over the dunes, "Hey Alice, Jasper. What's up?"

Alice ran to me and wrapped her arms around me and squeeled. Honest to God she freaking squeeled in my ear. "I'm so excited! I get to plan it right? Please?" as she talked she started jumping up and down like a child.

Malachi looked at me with a questioning look on his face, as if to say has she lost her mind? Jasper saw the look and explained, "Alice like to plan parties. She's very excitable, and..."

"And annoyingly persistant." I cut Jaspter off with a laugh.

"Yea that too." He agreed with a laugh. "You get used to her. By the way, welcome to the family Malachi." he shook Malachi's hand.

"Ummm, thanks." Malachi said still watching Alice.

"Bella, if you don't let me plan your wedding I will hold my breath until I pass out." Alice threatened causing us to laugh even harder.

"Alice, if you hold your breath nothing will happen.... your technically not alive..." Malachi said carefully.

Jasper stepped away from Malachi taking my arm as he backed away. I looked at him with questioning eyes. "Malachi, take it back."

"Why? Bella?"

"Malachi listen to Jasper. You don't know Alice's past, so take it back."

"Ok I take it back. We are all living but just in a different way." Malachi said facing Alice.

I turned to face Alice, "Hey Alice. You didn't even get an answer yet if you can HELP me plan the wedding."Alice turned her attention on me. "Of course you can help me plan it."

She smiled gave me another big hug and said, "Thank you Bella." Then we both started jumping up and down squeeling.

"Come on Malachi, let's go back to the house... they will join us after they finish having their girl moment." Jasper said teasingly. Alice and I stuck our tounges out at him and then started talking about the wedding.

When Jasper and Malachi walked threw the door to the Cullen's house Malachi was attacked by Emmett who wrapped him up in a giant bear hug. "Congrats man."

"Thanks Emmett."

"How's Edward?" Jasper asked.

"He's handleing it better than we thought he would... he only broke the piano." Emmett said. Jasper nodded and then walked off to find Charlile. "So I assume she agreed to marry you?"

"Yea she did." Malachi said with a small laugh. "Her and Alice are probably still on the beach jumping up and down like school girls screaming."

"Wow and you walked away from girl on girl action?" Emmett said followed by, "OW! Bella you are so dead!" He turned to see Alice laughing hysterically. "Where'd she go?"

"I'm over here big brother." I was standing in the door way acting as if I had just walked into the house. "What do you need?"

"You punched me in the back of the head! I want to get even!" he snarled.

I laughed and said, "Well then you shouldn't have insinuated that Alice and I were having girl on girl action." I smirked at him, "you should have learned by now that I'm stronger than you, and that I probably always will be." That sent Emmett over the edge of his rage, and he growled at me and jumped for me, not seeing Jasper right behind him.

"Not fair Jasper!" Emmett yelled.

"Sorry Emmett..." Jasper said with a laugh.

Laughing I walked over to Emmett and put my hand on his shoulder, "We still friends big brother?"

"Yea, hey you got me pretty good. I didn't even hear you come up behind me. When did you get so fast and non-clutsy?"

"Around the same time you turned into a little girl." I replied as I hugged him. Then walked over to Malachi and called out, "Charlile, Esme, Rose...." took a deep sighing breath, "Edward." With in a half a second they were all in the room, "I'm sure Alice told you all already, but being my family I wanted to tell you that Malachi has asked me to marry him and I have agreed."

Everyone cheered and hugged me n Malachi, all except Edward. "So you're leaving us then?" he asked.

"What? No, of course I'm not going to leave. Unless you want me to go... I'll understand if you don't want to see me around here anymore Edward."

"I... grrrr." Edward started then growled and stormed outa the room threw the kitchen where we heard a loud crash.

"Not the table... I was partial to that table..." Esme said.

"I'm sorry Esme. It' my fault as usual." I said in a quiet voice, before runnign after him to try and fix what I had caused.
