BPOV:

So here we were, back on the same street driving hand in hand, very quietly. Eventually we needed to finish this conversation, but this time, I wouldn't jump to conclusions.

"Edward, where do we go from here?" He looked confused. "We go down the street to your house. Really Bella, You should know where you live by now silly girl." He chuckled and looked back at the road. I rolled my eyes.

"I wasn't referring to where I live thank you; I was referring to the recent events of last night's car ride home." We both took a deep breath as he parked the car.

"Here, why don't you go see your dad, and I'll go get your truck." Why was he avoiding the question? Was I right last night? A Bella No! Don't jump to conclusions.

"Don't be stupid Edward. You know you need me there to. Someone has to drive your car home too. Now let's talk about this." I turned in my seat so I was facing him. I grabbed his other hand and held it softly in mine. "Please?" I begged.

His eyes melted and he face softened. He knew I wasn't going to fight with him again. Plus, we sort of already knew the answer. It was just time to beat out the details. He turned to face me as well and sweetly stroked my hands with his thumbs.

"Well, as we previously agreed this morning, we stay together. Is the correct?" I shook my head 'yes' and smiled. "Ok, well let's see here. My dad is going to be here a few times a week, and I really don't live far. I can come down with him for a while, or you could come up. We can make this work. Msn, Facebook, Texting. We can do this for a month right? Like September were both going to Dartmouth and then we can see where it goes from here right?"

"Honey, calm down." I stroked his head. He was all nerves and rambling. "All I meant was, for the month we just do the best we can, and then in September, what happens. Sorry, I should have been clearer. But you seem to have figured that out. We see where it goes."

He took a breath and relaxed. "Ok, good." He smiled sweetly and became more like himself again. "It would kill me to lose you sweetie." He leaned over and took my head in his hands and kissed me sweetly. I twined my fingers in his hair to make the kiss last longer. Hi moved one hand to the bottom of my neck and kept sliding it down my body to the small of my back, leaving a trail of goose bumps as he went. He pulled me closer and his mouth begged mine to open. His sweet honey breath covered me and our tongues met. They connected with a spark and our breathing became rough. I nibbled on his bottom lip and a moan escaped deep down in his throat. His hands pulled tighter and pulled me over into his seat. I sat on his lap and i felt his hard become harder under our touch. Slowly I rubbed his pants ever so quickly, and his hard shuttered. Moans escaping. I moved my hands to his collar and started undoing the top buttons. His hands restrained mine, and his kiss weakened.

"Bella, you're making me crazy here." He kissed me again and I slowly slid my tongue along his lips. He growled and this time pulled me away. "Bella, I will never get you inside if you continue to attack me." He smiled, and I slid back into the passenger side, a small giggle escaping my lips.

He got out of the car and came to my door to help me out. He took my hand and guided me up the path towards the front door. Charlie was up and about slowly walking around the kitchen with Dr. Cullen. I looked to Edward and he looked back at me, both mirroring the others expression. "Hey Dad" I called to Charlie.

"Oh Bella!" He picked up has pace and walked to me and hugged me tightly. "I was worried about you. Don't run off like that again, you hear me?" I hugged me back and told him, "its ok Dad, don't worry, it won't happen." Edward squeezed my hand and I looked to him. He mouthed the words "never again" and smiled. I mouthed them back. And it was true. Never again would we fight like that. I promise.

Day by day my father was getting better, faster, stronger, and older looking. Though he felt better, the treatment was really aging him. Edward and his father stayed in town for a few hours every other day. When Charlie and Dr. Cullen were working, Edward and I were off having our own "treatment".

Edward was like a drug to me. I craved him when he was gone, and OD when I got him near. Every day when we were apart, he would write me a letter, and text me constantly. My heart grew and grew at each new text, e-mail, letter, or phone call. I was in love and happy to be there. I remember one day when he sent me a letter, how my body almost knew that a message was coming.

Charlie had a rough night, and we were both extremely tired. I got him comfortable on the couch before he passed out. I trudged to the kitchen and made myself a coffee before going to catch some sleep. I stood there stirring my coffee when I got this weird sensation cursing through my body. Every never, every hair, every inch of me had this feeling that Edward was near me. I shivered in the insane pleasure of knowing he would be here tomorrow, and I picked up my coffee and ran to my room.

The room was in full sunlight, for once, and it hurt my eyes. Sleep was not going to be achieved by sun. I put my cup down and walked over to the window. People were soaking in the rays, and I was hiding from them. I shut the blinds and started to my bed. The dinging sound of a 'new email' sent my heart racing.

My Dearest Bella,

I am missing you with each passing breath. Your scent is fading and I long for sweet reunion with you. I beg for September to join us, and ask that you still be mine. I will be at your door tomorrow with a surprise for you. Will you accept? I love you. Sweet angel of mine, I bid you ado.

Edward.

My eyes filled and a smiled. He was adorkable! I would see him again so soon and he had a surprise! I wasn't one for surprises, but Edward's made me happy. I closed the lap top lid and went to sit on my bed. I suddenly wasn't as tired. I reached over and grabbed my coffee and the closest book off my night stand and sank deep into the turn of the century with Sense and Sensibility.

A few minutes later I felt the warmth of the sun on my face. It slowly woke me, but I didn't open my eyes. I was enjoying the moment of quiet tranquility here in my tiny room. I pulled my knees up to my chest and wound my arms around them, sighing in contentment. Wait. Didn't i close the blinds? Where did the blanket come from? I slowly opened my eyes and just inches from them, a single rose was placed on the bed, with a note addressed to 'Bella' was beside it.

I grabbed the rose and smelled it. I was pleased by the simplest of things. Single roses were my favourite. I had never told anyone this, but I always thought that a single one means more than a dozen. One meant romance, and romance meant Edward.

I gasped and sat up. I looked around the room and it was different. The window had been opened and the sun angled down on me. The room was filled with flowers and candles. Edward was sitting in the rocking chair in a tux. His breath taking smile spread across his face. I stared at him and slowly got off the bed and walked over to him. His arms opened and I sat down on his lap.

He turned my head so my ear was close to his lips. "Happy birthday." He kissed my cheek all the way around to my lips. I squirmed in his arms so i was straddling him. His member was pronounced and i swayed my hips over it slowly, it twitched underneath me and Edward moaned. I bit his lips and twined my fingers in his hair.

What a way to wake up. Edward's hands were sliding up and down my back and under my shirt. His hands stopped at my bra clasp, and his lips stopped as well. I opened my eyes and he looked for permission. I smiled and bit his bottom lip. His eyes rolled to the back of his head and his kiss became hungry again. His fingers unhooked my bra and slid his hands around my torso to my stomach. He lightly traced patterns on my skin before moving up to my breasts.

I moved my hands to his collar and slid his jacket down and off his arms. He quickly took off his jacket and placed his hands back where they were. He massaged my breasts for a few seconds, earning moans from my lips. I swayed my hips harder on his hard. This got him going. His hands were instantly taking off my shirt and bra, throwing them on the floor. I was almost completely naked, and i had never felt so complete in myself. I kissed him again rubbing against his body. In what felt like seconds, I had his shirt off too.

His skin was smooth and godly under the touch of my skin. "Are we.." He looked so worried and innocent. "I haven't done this before ..." I stared at him and whispered" neither have i" We slowly moved in close again and I kissed him. His lips moved down my neck to my chest. I threw my head back and moaned. Trying to be quiet about it.

He held me tight to his body and picked us off the chair. I wrapped my legs around him, never breaking the kiss. This was really happening! We fell on the bed and our kissing grew stronger. Hands roamed each other's bodies, and ended in the same place. I undid his pants and he undid mine. I squirmed out of mine and pushed his down. He pressed his body to mine and wound his arms around me. We were rolling on the bed until I was on top of him. I sat up and took a breath. He looked deep into my eyes and slowly sat up.

He moved his mouth to my breast and kissed them. I shivered at his touch and he noticed. His hands moved to my neck and he kissed all over my neck and down my chest, then back to my lips.

Grabbing my waist, he had me back on the bed. "Are you ready?" He whispered. His eyes intense. I didn't answer, i just moved my hand to his hard and lightly grabbed on. His eyes got wide and his member twitched. I moved the fabric down and started stroking it. So much a beautiful part of him. He growled and roughly kissed me again. Our tongues tangled and i kept stroking his penis. I wanted more though, this wasn't enough. I started taking off the last peice of this clothes without breaking our kiss. He had them off in seconds and was starting on mine.

I spread my legs as wide as they would go begging for him to do it. His hard was twitching at my entrance, and i bit his lips. "Edward" I moaned. His got himself in place and was ready to thrust into me.

"Bella?"

A cool hand touched my shoulder. I jerked up in my bed, and became very disappointed. I had been dreaming. Edward had never been there. I looked over to see my dad in my room, a worried look on his face,

"Are you ok Bella? You were calling for Edward." Oh no! Had he heard that? I hope to god not. I rubbed my face and moved from the bed.

"Yeah I'm fine. What time is it?" I looked around. It was dark outside. Charlie had a mess of hair on one side of his face. "Did I wake you dad? I'm so sorry" I took his arm and tried to lead him to his room.

"Oh I'm fine Bells, I was off too bed. It's about 12. I heard you talking so I thought you were having a nightmare again." He looked to his room and walked to it. "Night sweetie."

"Night" I said sidetracked. It was definitely not a nightmare. More of a good dream. I trudged into the bathroom and turned on the light. It burned my eyes for a second until the adjusted. My hair was a mess and my makeup was all over. Nice. I closed the door and grabbed a towel. The hot water came running out of the shower and steam filled the bathroom.

I stripped out of my clothing and looked at my naked body in the mirror. I turned from side to side looking at myself. 'What would it be like to do that dream with Edward?' the thought came into my mind, and I suddenly felt self conscious. Would he find me repulsive? Would he even want to be with me that way? My eyes dropped from my reflection, and I got into the shower. I sighed as the water hit my rigid muscles. "Would that ever happen with us?" I spoke aloud, but I didn't know who to.

EPOV:

My Dearest Bella,

Edward.

I closed my lap top and rested on my bed. It was nice to be home. Alice came prancing into my room with a big box in her arms. She set it down and sat next to me on the bed.

"Going to Forks with Dad tomorrow?" She asked to calmly. She was up to something.

"Yes" I answered hesitantly. She just looked away and shook her head. "Cool" she answered after a few minutes.

"Ok Alice, what do you want?" I rolled my eyes and looked at her.

Alice tapped her fingers on the box and set the full force of her pixie eyes on me. "Oh Edward, let me help you plan your surprise!" she pulled out her puppy dog pout.

"Alice" I moaned. "You always do that!" She wouldn't break. "Alice, no, I already have it planned perfectly. Why don't you go plan your wedding?" She rolled her eyes.

"Please Edward; I had it planned the day after he asked. Now, what did you have in mind? Just let me help. I am a girl; I could tell you what she might like." She batted her eyes at me, and I could take it.

"Alice ..." I groaned. "Fine, but don't ruin this ok?" She back up and crossed her legs waiting. I walked back to the bed and sat down. Biting my lip, I opened my mouth, ready to explain sometime, that I knew Alice would flip out on me for.

"Alice, I know this sounds crazy, and I know it's been too soon, but I love Bella, and I don't want to lose her. So I want to ask her to-"Alice's hand went to her mouth and she gasped!

"Don't you dare say you're getting married? I need time to plan you the perfect wedding! Ok so late spring, early June? I could book you the hotel and oh-" I cupped my hand over her jibber mouth.

"Easy Alice. I'm not asking her to marry me, yet, I'm asking her to move in with me. Well when school starts." Alice's face was still smiling, but not as excited as before. Confusion swept her face. She was about to ask, but I answered before she could."And I want to ask her if she wouldn't mind if I came to the same school. I got accepted at WU as well so I would just go there to. They have a great program, and I would be with Bella. That's where I belong." I trailed off looking past Alice.

Alice was unusually quiet and she leaned forward and took my hands in hers. "Edward, I didn't realize just how much you loved this girl, and I can tell she really loves you. If she says no, she would be crazy. I'm really happy for you Edward." She got up without another word and left my room.

I stared after her and realized that she only ever was like this, when she was truly happy for someone, but had an evil plan in her mind so she could 'improve' upon it. I rolled off the bed and went to my desk. The top of the desk had a small drawer that was my personal, private things. I unlocked it and looked inside. There was Bella's smiling face looking back at me. It warmed my heart to see how happy she was.

I remember that day we took the picture. Sitting at the lighthouse having lunch. Charlie was getting better so he insisted Bella go out. She was so much lighter away from the house, and it was a day to remember. She had pulled out a camera and we took silly pictures together. She would kiss my cheek and snap a picture, and then i would keep hold of her chin and pull her into a kiss. Pictures to remember our love under the lighthouse. This picture was one of Bella in my arms. She was smiling so lovingly at me while i kissed her head.

Seeing us together felt right and whole. I knew that I would never want another the way that I longed for Bella. I missed her so much, and being away from her killed like the depths of hell. I needed to be with her. Maybe there was a way to always be there. A connection only we shared.

Would Bella be ready for that? Was I ready for that? Intimacy wasn't just 'sex' to me. It was a bond that two people shared when they were truly in love. Nothing could break this. It was two bodies moving together in a ritual as old as time. I had never shared that bond with anyone, and I didn't want to unless I was truly in love. Bella is the love I long for. Could this be as true as those of Juliet and Romeo's?

Next to the picture there was a small box that I had never seen. Well I knew what kind of box it was, an engagement ring went inside, but I wasn't ready for that. So why was it in here? I looked around the room and back at the blue velvet box. I opened it slowly exposing the princess ring inside. Three diamonds sat in the princess setting on a silver ring. It was beautiful in every way. Where did it come from? Under the box, a small note was taped to it.

Dear Edward,

I don't know where you and Bella might be going, but I wanted you to have this. Your father gave it to me on our 12th date. Shocking I know. He told me that if at one point, I felt that I loved him the way he loved me, I was to wear this ring and come to him. It was bizarre that he would do this. But he was sure that love made our situation work. So i took this ring and went home. It was a very different time, remember that. But I went home and really thought about how a good and generous man he was. He really loved me, and as time went on, I learned that I really loved him as well. Edward, we have been married now for 23 years, and it has been the uttermost life. He gave me all you kids. Edward, I see in you, what your father was when we met. He was sure of what he wanted and he stuck to it. Bella is also one of those types of thinkers. Your father and I have talked long and hard about this, and if at any point you want to marry this beautiful young lady, you have our blessing. We would be blessed to have sweet Bella in our family. Sweetie, you know what's right for you, and we love you.

Mom.

I folded up the letter and placed it in the box. I never realized before, just how much my parents were like Bella and I. She was from another state, and one summer he came to town. He was looking for work, and her father had a farm. He was hired for the summer so he could pay for medical school. Her father became attached, and so did my mother. Shortly after being there, Carlisle asked my grandfather if it would be appropriate to ask Esme to dinner. Back then, you would ask to go out to dinner, and if the family agreed, you would go to dinner with her, and her family. Talk about pressure date.

Carlisle fit easily into her family. He wasn't from wealth, but was humble and a hard worker. Her parents approved and soon after, Esme was permitted 'alone' dates with young Carlisle.

I snapped back into reality, connecting all the dots. Carlisle and Esme were the same age Bella and I am now, when they met. In a year they were married, and Emmett on the way soon after. Something inside me melted when I thought of Bella pregnant with my child. To have Bella with my ring on her finger, and waking up in my arms everyday for the rest of my life, it felt as if my heart would explode with joy to have that.

My question for Bella suddenly felt right. I knew I was ready to ask her. But which question would it be first?
