By Myself Chapter 19 – Proposals
One Month Later
Bella POV
I didn't believe a month had passed since I have been in Forks. Everyone wanted to that I was actually living. All my high school friends were shocked. Renee was hysterical over the phone but was even worse when she came to visit last week. I had decided not to move back to Charlie's house because I would just be moving out of it sooner than later. I stayed with Teri and Mike who had come after Peter had been 'confiscated' from them. They were devastated and I thought leaving them right now would be bad. The people who now knew them were told both children were taken by illness. But we knew the real story. Jake never left his house anymore and Billy was beginning to worry. He even gave me permission now being a vampire to come over to La Push and talk him out of this state he was in; didn't work out. I had the constant reminder of two all around my thoughts. But with Edward back in my life I felt like I could be happy like she wanted me to. I was now sitting in the living room of my house reading my old copy of another Jane Austin novel when the door bell rang. I closed the book and walked to get the door. Behind the door was Edward.
"Hey," I said. "Want to come in?" I asked kissing him on the cheek. He smiled but he seemed kind of nervous.
"Sure," he said. He walked into the house. Something definitely was not right. I used my third shield; the power one to absorb his power for one minute. And I could read his mind but only for a short burst of time.
"I wonder how she is going to react. Alice wouldn't tell me anything."
I dropped the shield and began to flood myself with questions. What was I going to react to? What was Alice not telling him? Why was he so nervous about it? I was making myself nervous.
"Edward are you alright?" I asked. Even I could hear the nervousness in my voice.
"Never better, I came here to ask you something." He took both my hands in his and looked me dead in the eye.
"Okay just tell me Edward," I begged. "It is killing me that this is bothering you that much." I think I would collapse from lack of oxygen if I was human.
"Bella when you left my life was completely shattered. Worse when I left you, I thought you left me because what I was. I thought I lost you forever and when you came back everything seemed to be put back together. I don't want to lose you again; I want us to be together forever. Isabella Swan," he got down on one knee right there in the living room. "Will you marry me?" he asked. I stood there shocked looking into his hopeful eyes.
"Yes," I whispered. "Of course," I wrapped my arms around his neck as he stood up crashing his lips against mine. There were no limits between us and more but he still broke away from me. I scowled.
"Not that I wouldn't like to continue this but there is a pixie at my house ready to burst and I think you might want to wear this," He opened a box and there was this beautiful opal surrounded by diamonds.
"Oh my god, Edward," I said speechless. He slipped it on my finger. It was so old fashioned like him. It was perfect.
"It was mothers," he said. I looked fondly at it. There real life came and slapped me in the back of the head.
"But what will we tell Charlie and Renee, they will never buy this. Well maybe Renee but not Charlie. He will shoot you." I could imagine Charlie taking his rarely used gun and trying to shoot Edward. Edward lifted my face so my eyes met his.
"I already asked their permission," he said. "I felt I would like their blessing before I asked."
"How was Charlie?" I asked.
"He wasn't too pleased at first but he knew it would happen eventually and Renee was worse than Alice when I explained what I was going to do," I could imagine Renee jumping up and down screaming in her house in Jacksonville.
"So shall we go face the crazy pixie?" I asked. He smiled and led me to the door, but not until after I left a note to Mike and Teri about where I was and news. We got into the Volvo.
"Are you happy?" He asked. I looked at him confused.
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"Well you were never so keen on commitment last time," he said backing out of the driveway and began speeding down the street.
"Trust me Edward. I am more than sure of it." We didn't talk after that until we got to the house. Alice came out the house jumping on top of me.
"I am so happy I knew you would say yes," she was jumping up and down. Of course she saw this coming.
"You are going to help plan this with me right?" I asked her. She smiled a wide smile. Of course come there is so much to do," she dragged me into the house into the kitchen and on the counter was a large white binder stuffed with papers. "Alice I was thinking of something small," I warned.
"Oh I know," she said. She and I sat down and opened the book. The first pages were a guest list. Some of my family and friends and some of the Cullen's.
"How is the whole vampire and human thing going to work out?" I asked, "Wouldn't that be suspicious if we weren't eating?"
"We can work it all out," Alice said. "Now there are some persons that are sort of mandatory to invite in our world."
"Who?" I asked. She pointed to the last page at the bottom of the alphabetical list. The Volturi. "Oh no way in hell," I said with venom.
"They would be somewhat offended if we didn't and we don't want any trouble with them."
"But they destroyed Peter and Mia for what?" I could feel the volume of my voice rising. Two arms wrapped around me, trying to keep me calm.
"It is alright Bella," Edward said. "Please calm down." I instantly melted and anger disappeared.
"It is alright," I repeated. "We can invite them but hope they don't show up."
"You know we still need to pick a date," Edward said.
"As soon as possible," I said. "But I always did wanted a winter wedding," I explained.
"How about December 21st?" Alice said, "The longest night of the year." She focused on the future seeing the weather maybe. "It might even actually snow that day."
"Sounds perfect, what do you think?" I asked Edward. He kissed my cheek.
"Whatever you want love."
"That is the date then. Now which invitation should you send out?" she showed me three different. All standard wedding invitation size. One was black and white something very traditional, an all white one with a little bow and one with blue words and light gold paper. Not the normal colors but the gold reminded me of Edwards eyes when he just finished hunting. I and Edward pointed to the same one. "Well that is decided," Alice said. "I already sent them out."
"What?"
"Well I knew which one you were going to pick but I wanted you to choose them so now you did." She closed the book. "I promised Jasper I would go hunting. We will definitely start this again when I get back." She walked out of the room leaving me and Edward.
"You know what you got yourself into?" He asked with humor in his voice.
"Yes, but there is no way I am backing out now. I want to be with you forever."
"You don't know how happy that makes me when you say that."
"I love you."
"I love you more than you will ever know."
Mia POV
I really was getting bored here. All me and Peter did was round up tourists and other people for meals. We kept our strict animal diet which we kept to every time they let us out. Me and Peter shared on room smack in the center of building and at ten exactly we were locked into make sure we never escaped. We usually kept to ourselves but I did talk to Heidi who became friendly after she knew it irritated Jane. Peter usually did guy things with Alec when he wanted to piss off his sister. I was sitting in my reading chair after it was locked up reading a story to Peter. He knew how to read but he just preferred to be read to. This time it was a pirate book. Where people dared to roam uncharted seas and fight sea creatures. Then there was a knock on the door and the lock was undone. Heidi entered and smiled when she saw Peter curled up on my lap.
"Hey Heidi," I said closing the book and placing it on the table next to the chair. "What do we have the pleasure?"
"Aro wishes to speak to you," she said. Walking over to us and ruffling Peter's hair. He scowled and tried fixing it. We both laughed. I stood him up and got up to grab our black cloaks. They had to make on special for him and Heidi loved shopping in the kids department for home and she loved playing Barbie doll with me. I took Peters hand and followed her down to the meeting hall. Aro and his brothers were having a conversation. Aro had an envelope in his hands. "Master Mia and Peter are here," she said before shutting the door.
"How are you two?" Aro asked with a smile.
"As best as we can you wished to speak to us?" I asked. He handed us and envelope. The one he was holding.
"We need two representatives to go to this. We are going to be visiting to friends that day and we thought you two were the perfect candidates." I opened the envelope at it was a wedding for the marriage of Edward Cullen and Isabella Swan. My mouth dropped. I handed it to Peter.
"Are letting us go? I thought we had that no connection to old life thing if effect?" I asked.
"We do but I think we authorize this just for the occasion," Aro spoke for his brothers. I wanted to hug him but the fact that he was keeping us here made me not. "You are to arrive there the day before and leave the day after. And we will come for you and destroy you both if you don't," he warned.
"Yes sir we understand."
"Very well you may leave not it is past ten after all," He turned back his brothers engaging back into conversation. Me and Peter left the room but jumped into my arms when I shut the doors.
"We are going home," he said smiling.
"But just for a few days," I corrected.
"But still we get to see everyone," he said smiling. That would be nice to see everyone again. Teri, Mike, Bella, The Cullen's, and Jake. Jake, I could feel my dead heart warm up.
"At least there is that," I sighed in contentment. I put Peter down and we walked to our room with somewhat of a hatred toward time. I hoped December would come faster.
Alice POV
"You think that letting those two go is a good choice?" Marcus asked Aro.
"My dear brother what a better wedding gift than seeing her two little friends again? And Mia holds Peters life in too much value to disobey the rules we had laid down for them," Aro assured his brother.
My vision went dead. And Jasper was shaking me.
"Alice what did you see?" he asked.
"I think the best wedding present that Bella can get."
"Can you tell me?" He asked.
"Will you be able to keep it from Edward?"
"I keep a lot from him."
"Mia and Peter aren't dead. I want this to be a surprise for Bella."
"You sure?"
"Positive."
I decided to kill my evil side for the rest of the story =P please review
