(A/N: wow, so last chapter was clearly the climax of the story! So here's the falling action and…oh blah blah blah I promise we're not in English class! Enjoy the chapter! And please leave a review!)

"Listen Georgiana," Carlisle said. "I never thought they would do the unspeakable things they did to you. This was a plan Edward and I came up with together. We never imagined that you would be treated the way you were. I am so sorry, my love." He said. We were sitting in a hotel room in Italy, the day after the fight.

"It's alright. You did what you had to do," I replied. "I just wish you could have told me."

"I couldn't because Aro would have read your mind and seen the plan. Bella masked that memory from Aro's vision in all three of our minds, but she wouldn't be able to mask it from yours because you would be too far away from us. You needed to be truly shocked and feel betrayed." Carlisle explained. I nodded, lying my head on his lap. I was exhausted.

"I understand." I said. "I'm glad none of it was actually true. I would rather have been executed than have to live without you." Carlisle smiled and lifted me up, sitting me on his lap and wrapping his arms around me. I smiled. "I love you," I whispered.

"I love you, too." He replied. He leaned forward and captured my lips with his. Since my senses had been increased due to my transformation, the kiss was like heaven times ten. I felt a tingle in my fingers and toes. I felt the rest of the world melt away until it was only me and him. I finally understood what all those lame romantic novels were talking about when they described the first kiss.

He pulled away much too soon. His hands cupped my face, his thumbs running over my cheek bones gently. "You're so beautiful," he breathed. I never thought I'd ever hear someone say that to me. I was addicted to him, and I never wanted to go through rehab.

We headed home the next day on an airplane. I'd finished three books by the time we landed in New York, and six more by the time we landed in Port Angeles.

We were finally home. I was worried I would never see this place again. I turned and kissed Carlisle.

"Get a room!" Emmett yelled, earning a smack on the head from Rosalie. "OW!"

"How many of those do you need until you learn?" Rosalie asked. I laughed and sat on the couch, just as Edward's phone rang.

"Hello?" he asked. We all wondered who the hell would be calling Edward. "Esme! How are you?" he asked. "Yeah, hang on, I'll put you on speaker phone." He hit a button.

"Hey everyone!" Esme's voice filled the room.

"Hi Esme," Everyone said.

"I think I'll be coming home soon! I'm in Paris, it's so lovely." She said.

"Did you find your soulmate?" Alice asked.

"Yes, his name is Louis. You guys will all love him. He loves art, music and Moulin Rouge."

"I like him already," Rosalie said.

"And we're going to every sight in Paris. We're half way done, so I'll be home in a few months." She said.

"Yay! Esme we miss you so much," Bella said.

"Aw, I miss you all too. I've taken plenty of pictures and I got each of you a present," she said. Alice smiled.

"Did you get me a really cute outfit?" she asked. Esme laughed.

"Yes, I got you lots of cute clothes. Well, I have to go. I love and miss you all!" she said.

"Bye Esme." Everyone said. The other line went dead.

Carlisle smiled and sat down next to me, wrapping his arms around me. I sighed and breathed in his familiar scent. I was so addicted to every little thing about him. He was like my own personal drug.

"Are you happy she's coming home?" I asked him.

"Of course, I love her, just not in a romantic way anymore." He replied. I smiled and pulled him into a kiss.

"Seriously, get a room!" Emmett yelled once more. Rose smacked him on the back of the head once more. I laughed and kissed Carlisle again. "Egh, this is worse than the Notebook!"

"STOP INSULTING MY FAVORITE MOVIE!" Bella yelled.

"It's a bad movie!" Emmett yelled back.

"Amen, brother!" I cheered. Carlisle laughed and kissed me again.

"Stop it with the PDA!" Emmett yelled. I flicked him off while still kissing Carlisle and laughing. "That is not cool."

Carlisle had decided to take me on an actual "date". He said to dress nice. I found a red dress with a v-cut neck and it stopped three inches above my knees. I wore a rose in my hair and a really pretty heart neacklace and black pumps.

"You look beautiful," Carlisle said as I came down the stairs. I smiled and took his arm.

"Thank you. You don't look too bad yourself," I replied, smiling. We walked to the garage and got in his black Mercedes.

"I love your car. Can I steal it?" I asked. He laughed and pulled out of the garage. "Where are we going?"

"That's for me to know and you to find out," he replied. I laughed and turned on the radio. One of my favorite songs came on; My Eyes Adore You by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

My eyes adored you
Though I never laid a hand on you,
My eyes adored you
Like a million miles away from me you couldn't see
How I adored you:
So close, so close and yet so far away.

We drove through the town to the woods. Carlisle stopped and got out and opened the door for me, scooping me up into his arms. He ran until we came to this huge clearing in the middle of a meadow. I looked over and saw his skin was sparkling in the sunlight. I could actually see the sunlight, which surprised me because we were still in Forks.

"Wow," I whispered. He grabbed my hand and lead me to the middle of the meadow. His skin looked like a bunch of tiny diamonds. He looked like a Greek god.

"This is what happens when vampires go into the sunlight; we don't die or explode like in the movies. We shine," he said. I looked down at my arms and gasped. My skin was glittering just like his.

"Wow. Carlisle, I'm…"

"Beautiful," he answered for me. I smiled and grabbed his hand. He lied down on the grass and I followed him, lying my head on his chest. We just gazed at each other for a while, then Carlisle kissed my hand. "Georgiana, I love you so much," he said. "More than I have ever loved anyone before. Georgiana, I don't think I could ever live without you. You are my life, you make my immortality worth while. I thought this life was hell on earth and for the longest time I begged God to let me die.

"But then you came along, and you made me feel alive again, even though I've been dead for so long. I feel like I'm human when I'm with you, I feel complete when I'm with you," he said. I smiled and he sat up, and I followed. He got down on one knee and pulled out a little red box. My eyes went wide. "Georgiana Isaacs, love of my life, will you marry me?" He asked. I felt my unbeating heart melt. I gasped as he opened the box to reveal a beautiful diamond ring. It was old, like it was from the 16th century. I wanted so badly to cry.

"YES!" I exclaimed. Carlisle smiled wide and put the ring on my finger. I smiled and kissed him deeply. I was engaged! I held him close and kissed him again.

"I love you so much," I said.

"I love you too," He replied, kissing me deeply.
