We decided it was best if we went and told people before they walked in and saw us on top of each other. So as we walked down the stairs hand in hand, all the Cullen's were present waiting for us at the bottom. Immediately Carlisle said 'Glad to see you up again, Edward.' With a warming smile.
'Yes, it's so good to see you both.' Esme said giving us both a hug.
Alice jumped up, and kissed me on the cheek, sneaking me a cheesy grin that implied how much she knows. I smiled back, still sneaky, showing just how excited I actually was.
Edward coughed for their attention. Emmett was hugging Rosalie and Jasper was hugging the jumping Alice round the waist. Carlisle also held Esme round the waist. It then occurred to me just how much I loved this family, even the ever-hateful Rosalie. It wouldn't be right for us if she wasn't part of us all. And as their newest addition, I am the one that notices most how much this family means to on another.
'Carlisle, Esme. Emmett, Rosalie. Jasper, Alice'-he said this with a mocking grin towards her excitement-'I have just asked Bella to marry me, and she granted me a full eternity of happiness and love.' He was warm and loving, Edward. Now forever mine. I tilted my head a little bit to hide my blush, yet I wasn't blushing it was just an unfortunate human reaction I cannot rid of myself still.
The whole family came towards us to hug and congratulate us, even Rosalie smiled at me. Jasper gave me a hug, and then to have Alice pull him away so she can squeeze me.
Carlisle stepped forward, and put his arm around my shoulder. He was giving me a warming smile that amazes me still. Bella, I would like to show you something. He thought. I looked at him furrowing my eyebrows.
'Come with me, dear Bella. I would like to show you something.' He said, making sense to the people that couldn't hear his thoughts.
As I looked back I also noticed Edward looking strangely towards us, he was trying to conjure what awaited me. I didn't quite understand myself, why this closeness has suddenly appeared.
He led me up the stairs to his room, it was the same as it was when I was a human, nothing different and I still remember him in that same chair looking up from his book, when Edward asked to fill me in on their history.
In a few decades time it would be my history too.
'Bella. No one in this family notices the change you bought Edward, quite like I do.' He said sitting on the edge of his desk. I stood there in the doorway and he beckoned his hand for me to sit down.
'As you know from your last visit to this room, that, Edward was my first companion. And I was with him before I was with Esme.' I knew this information, but I had a strange feeling I was to find out a lot more than I did my last visit.
'Edward, he never really quite fitted in in this family. Rosalie was originally to be his mate, yet he didn't really see her for more than a sister. In fact at first he despised her.' I gasped and my eyes widened.
This took me by a shock. Rosalie. Beautiful Rosalie, to be with my Edward. Why would he not take her? That was some competition. In fact it was no competition.
'Yes. Surprising really I suppose. But as I said they stayed siblings and nothing more. Rosalie bought home Emmett and later on Alice and Jasper found us. So Edward was always alone. He always bragged about not needing love and yet, we all knew it was the one thing he had missing.'
If I was a mortal, I would have become tearful now, in his mind, rushed images and clips of Edward with expressions that I knew he never meant for Carlisle to see. He was sad, longing. My lip quivered a little bit, and I tried to hold back tears that wouldn't spill over anyway.
'Even in Denali, he had women all over him and not once did he show the slightest care. However Tanya and her clan are a bit full on for pure Edward. If you know what I mean.' He sounded a bit awkward when he said the last sentence, and he also coughed a bit.
I still remember how Tanya came and approached Edward, I realised from Edwards thoughts that she was always coming onto him. Yet she is so beautiful and I really shouldn't have been surprised. He loves me though. And I know that. Why I will never know. One day it will run out, I'm not hoping though.
'So, yes, Edward always showed no interest in women… until he met you. When he first saw you, and from what I've heard from the family that go to school, he was mystified. He came home upset and overwhelmed, he was panicking and he went to Denali. That surprised us all; you caused arguments for everyone in our family. Nobody could understand how he could love you so much. When he came back, and he started talking to you and then going out at night to watch you sleep. He would always come back gleaming, and always a bit more cheerful everyday.'
'Then when we met you, we noticed an entirely new Edward. We saw how he looked at you and we saw how gentle he handled you. I'm sure you know the effect you have on him, well the effect you both had on Esme, well, its quite heart-warming. Then when things got a bit difficult when James and his clan appeared, we all doubted in the back of our minds that Edward would stay with you. Because he overreacts quite a lot, as I'm sure you have realised. Yet it never quite ceased to amaze us how much he loved you. It really warmed us… even Rosalie.'
I was so amazed with his story I didn't notice that my mouth was hanging open until I closed it. Carlisle's mind was picturing how Edward would look at me, and all the sights he'd had of Edward holding me, protecting me, loving me.
'Now, he had just told us how he'd asked you to marry him. I think this is the last puzzle piece missing. I'd never quite seen him so worked up. I can hear him laughing as I'm sure you can. Bella, you made the right choice with Edward and he loves you dearly. And you love him too as we have seen. And coming to the end of what I am telling you, I wish you both a very, very happy life together.'
He was coming to the end of his speech, yet his mind was still racing through all the times he saw us together.
It was heart warming that he cared so much, and I almost felt the care and love he had for Edward as his son.
Carlisle smiled warmly once again and stood up holding his arms out to give me a hug. I hugged him and I felt instantly how happy he was for his son and friend. He beckoned for us to walk back to where the family was still sat, laughing and talking.
Edward looked up at me, and smiled holding his arm out, so I sat on Edwards lap and he nuzzled my neck.
Stop doing that, just because your married doesn't mean you can do that around me! We both turned around to see Emmett giving us a scrutinizing expression with narrowed eyes.
Suddenly Alice had a vision, she stopped all her laughing and jumping to stare inwardly into space. Her visions was detected to both me and Edward and we stiffened at the same time together.
Every body went disturbingly quiet when they noticed both mine and Edwards stiffness to whatever Alice was seeing.
They all waited for her vision to stop, and both me and Edward were willing it to stop faster in our heads.
She came back and looked from one side of the family to the other and settling on Edward and I.
'The Volturi are back.'
