Chapter Four:
So Beautiful
Edward POV
I wish Bella could understand how much I love her for who she is; there is nothing in this world that could possibly take her away from me. Well, almost anything. Carlisle has warned me that if I don't change her, I'll lose her, but I will not let that happen.
"Could you please tell me where we are going?" I looked at her a moment, then returned my gaze to the road.
"That is for me to know, and for you to find out."
"Please Edward."
"It's a surprise." I chuckled. "Providing I do not devour you first." She wore that blue v-neck blouse that looked so exquisite against her skin.
"You know, as well as I do, that you would never…" I looked at her and cocked an eyebrow.
"Wouldn't I?"
""Wait! You probably would, if given the chance. And you know I hate surprises."
"I know." I chuckled. "And were here." I parked right were the pavement ended. I hopped out and rushed over to Bella's side and opened the car door. I held my hand out to her.
"The meadow. You couldn't just tell me we were coming here?" she demanded as I threw her on my back and started to run. " I mean, seriously, you couldn't just say 'oh were going to the meadow'"
"Bell, please stop." I stated. We had arrived at our destination and I placed her on the ground facing the forest. I covered her eyes and slowly turned her around.
"Why…" I removed my hand and she nearly collapsed at what she saw. "Oh, Edward, it's beautiful." She looked around the meadow. I had set up a table in the center of the field and placed candles everywhere. On the table I had placed a bouquet of red and black roses. I also had made her a gourmet meal that I had spent all day making. Well, I had to make it at her house so that her father could tell me if it was prepared well or not. Of course I told him he was just a taste tester. Which is what I told him at prom, too. But tonight was way more important than that of Prom.
"Our table awaits, my lady." I took her hand in mine and tried to put the memory of her warmth in the back of my memory.
"What's the occasion?" she asked as she took her seat and I pushed her in.
I ignored her question and sat across from her. I removed the roses so I could see her clearly in the candlelight. " Eat." I told her. She looked down at her plate and looked at me in confusion.
"Is this what you spent all day doing? Making all this." She indicated the meadow and the meal.
"I didn't set up the meadow. I let Alice and Esme create this on their own. The meadow was their idea of romanticism and I did spend all day on the meal."
"So this is why I was stuck with Jasper and Emmett all day?" she accused.
"Yes, it was a bit of a change for you wasn't it?"
"At least it didn't involve shopping. Movie's I can handle. The paintball tournament I could handle. They are way not nice, though."
I chuckled as she said this. The look on her face when I picked her up from her house was hysterical though. Not only was she locked out of her house, but her hair was covered in blue paint and she was still in her torn jeans and t-shirt. I had to help her get the paint out of her hair before she showered.
"That was more on Emmett than on Jasper. When Rosalie is away, Emmett is ruthless when it comes to winning a competition." I was not joking. He really was. I remember a thumb-wrestling match we had once. He had to be the one who came out on top. But when I beat him six times in a row, we had a real wrestling match. Well, until Esme came tried to break us up. It took Carlisle to come down and yell. It was actually quite funny.
"What is the occasion?" she asked me again.
I looked down at the table and played with the ring in my pocket. I knew I had to get this over with. Otherwise she would pester me until the end of the world.
"Isabella Swan," I was on one knee in front of her. "Would you do me the honor of becoming Mrs. Edward Anthony Cullen?"
"Umm..." her face turned every shade of red there was in a ninety-six count box of Crayola crayons. Maybe a few new shades of red. "Yes."
Whether I'm right or wrong There's no phrase that hits Like an ocean needs the sand Or a dirty old shoe that fits And if all the world were perfect I would only want to see your scars You know they can have their universe We'll be in the dirt designing starsI placed the ring on her finger and pulled her in for a kiss. Brief as it was for she was still human. I had decided that now was the perfect time for her to be changed. I could not live with out her any longer. She was my reason for staying in Forks for longer than I should. She was my universe. She was perfect in every sense of the word.
"Does this mean… that you will change me?" she asked.
"Of course it does. I can't leave you human and expect to live an eternity with you. That would be absurd." I chuckled.
And darling you knowYou make me feel so beautiful
Nowhere else in the world I want to be
You make me feel so beautiful

We arrived home and were greeted by six very happy vampires.
I can't believe he actually asked her! …does this mean I can't hate her anymore… oh, he has finally found her. I guess he wasn't too young when Carlisle changed him… That's my boy! Well, figuratively speaking.
"Congratulations!" Esme was the first one to say anything out loud. "welcome to the family, not that you were never apart of us anyways." Esme threw her arms around Bella and hugged her tightly.
"Es… me… I … can't … breathe." Bella choked out.
"I'm sorry dear." Does Charlie know? Did you ask his permission first? I nodded in her direction. Good
Whether I'm up or downThere's no crowd to please
I'm like a faith without a clause
To believe in it
And if all the world was smiling
I would only ever want to see your frown
You know they can sail away in sunsets
We'll be right here stranded on the ground
Just happy to be found
"We should tell Charlie the news. And then I have to call my mother. And when are you…"
"Tonight. We'll tell Charlie that our going camping with Esme, Rosalie, and Alice. We'll come up with a plan to erase you from the picture."
I knew that the only way for us to live peacefully was to have her mauled by a bear, fall off a cliff, something of that nature. Being mauled by a bear would be best. No body to be found. Except in Emmett's case. And he was lucky.
You make me feel so beautifulNowhere else in the world I want to be
You make me feel so beautiful
I have lost my illusions
I have drowned in your words
I have left my confusion to a cynical world
I am throwing myself at things I don't understand
Discover enlightenment holding your hand

Three days had passed since I had bitten her and proposed. She was at the window watching the fish in the river. I sat on my couch watching her watch the fish. She was gorgeous.
"Bella," she turned around to look at me. " You are so beautiful."
