AN: I know I say this a lot but THANK YOU to all my reviewers. You really make me feel like I'm not wasting my time with this story. I really had a fun time writing this chapter. I really hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

BELLA'S POV:

The last few weeks had been amazing. Alice and Jessica were busy starting to plan my baby shower. Charlie and Edward had been getting along alot better. They even were talking about the news that they watched every night.

Unfortunately all my calls and texts to Jacob still went unanswered.

But I wasn't worried about that today.

Today was March 8th.

Today was mine and Edward's first anniversary of our first date.

This day held many significance's for me. It was the first time Edward had saved my life. It was our first date. It was the first night Edward started giving me answers. And of course, it was the night I had realized I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

All Edward had told me about today was that he was going to make it an amazing day I would never forget.

I woke up as the sun hit my eyes.

As I made my way downstairs I heard Edward and Charlie in the kitchen talking. And laughing.

Laughing was always good. It meant they weren't killing each other.

As I walked in Edward looked at me and just started grinning.

I just smiled as I was still waking up.

He wrapped his arms around me and gave me a warm embracing hug and kissed my hair.

"I can't stay much longer. I need to get some things ready for tonight." he said as I placed my face into his chest and just smelled his shirt.

I just nodded.

I lived for these moments. When so much was said without any words.

"I'll be back at noon to get you. For now just dress casual." he told me.

I pulled back and just nodded.

He kissed me passionately and then walked over, shook Charlie's hand and left.

"So what did you two talk about before I came down?" I asked as I grabbed the cereal and milk.

"Just talking. Nothing super important." Charlie said casually.

But as I looked at him I could tell he was hiding something.

But at that moment baby girl decided to start doing her daily gymnastics so I was distracted from asking him what he was hiding.

I was washing the dishes when Charlie took his last sip of coffee.

"I gotta go to work. I'll talk to you tonight?" he asked as he put his cup next to me.

"Yeah, if you're up when I get home." I said jokingly.

He just gave me a smile and grabbed his coat and gun before heading out the door.

After I put the dishes away I went upstairs to get ready for today.

I grabbed my favorite pair of maternity jeans and my light blue long sleeve shirt. I also picked up my converse shoes and grabbed my hoodie.

One thing I had learned in Forks: Always be prepared for unpredictable weather.

After I had all my clothes for the day I went into the bathroom. I had time for a quick shower before Edward came to pick me up.

After my shower I got dressed, brushed out my hair and pulled it up into a ponytail.

Just as I finished putting my makeup on I heard the front door open.

"Bella?" I heard him call from the hallway.

"I'll be right down!" I yelled from the bathroom.

I tossed my dirty towel into the hamper and went to my bedroom.

I grabbed my purse and coat before heading downstairs.

I saw Edward sitting at the table when I came downstairs.

I walked into the kitchen and as soon as he saw me his whole face lit up.

He met me halfway into the room and embraced me, then gave me a chaste yet passionate kiss.

"You look gorgeous." he said as I grabbed my water bottle and filled it with water.

"I look like a blimp." I said.

After I filled it I turned around and smiled at him.

"But I appreciate it anyway." I said.

He just came up to me put his hands on my stomach and smiled at me.

"Bella, you're carrying the most precious thing in my life next to you. For that reason, you are always beautiful to me." he said with pure sincerity in his voice.

I smiled as a thought occurred to me.

"So even if I was having major morning sickness and asking you to hold my hair as I worshiped the porcelain king you'd still think I'm beautiful?" I asked.

He smiled, kissed my forehead and just said, "Absolutely gorgeous."

I just smiled and shook my head.

"What did I ever do to deserve someone like you?" I asked him as we walked to the front door.

"Bella believe me, I ask myself that every day." He said as he opened the door for me.

After I locked the house door we walked to the shiny sliver Volvo. He held the door for me as I got in then walked over and got in his side.

"So what are we doing today?" I asked.

"Well, I thought a picnic would be nice. Then I have a surprise for you." he said as he started the car and backed out onto the street.

"You know I don't like surprises." I said to him.

"You'll like this one I promise." he said with a smile as he took my hand in his.

Of course I didn't take him too long to drive to a familiar spot.

I recognized the spot he had parked. The last time he parked here was a year ago.

"The meadow is our picnic sight?" I asked.

"I thought it would be the most private and romantic place for us today." he said.

"Is it ok?" he suddenly asked.

I just leaned over and kissed him.

"It's perfect." I tell him.

After he smiled at me he got out and grabbed the cooler that must have had our lunch out of the back seat.

Suddenly a thought occurred to me.

"Edward, you think the hike will hurt her?" I asked rubbing my stomach.

He smiled and came over and put his hand on mine.

"No, I called your doctor yesterday and told her I was planning on taking you on a hike today and asked her if the baby would be ok. She said as long as you take some breaks and don't exhaust yourself then she'll be ok. Of course I didn't tell her you wouldn't be walking the hike." he said still smiling.

I looked at him confused before remembering he liked to give me piggyback rides to the meadow.

"Ok." I said as I got on his back.

I kissed his cheek and saw him smile before we sped off into the woods.

The picnic was amazing. Edward had packed me a sandwich, a string cheese, and a small bag of chips. He also had alot of water bottles for him and me.

I ate in the comfort of his arms while he stroked my hair and rubbed my belly.

After I ate we both just laid back and held each other.

"Days like this are days I wish would never end." I whispered into his ear.

He just smiled and turned his face to me.

"You know I was thinking the other day about how much different our relationship would have been if we met back in 1918." he said.

I sat up and looked down at him.

"How do you mean?" I asked.

He sat up too before answering me.

"Well, if we had met back then I would have courted you. With chaperoned walks in the park, drinking iced tea on the front porch. I might have even stolen a kiss or two." he said with a smile on his face.

Suddenly his face got serious, he stood us both up, and I saw him reach into his coat pocket and pull something out.

"And after asking your father's permission, like I did this morning, I would have gotten down on one knee," he said as he knelt so he WAS down on one knee.

Then he opened the box he had pulled out of his pocket.

Inside was the most beautiful ring I had ever seen. It was oval with many beautiful diamonds on it.

"This was my mother's." I heard him say.

I suddenly looked back into his eyes. There was so much love, passion, and worry in his eyes.

"Bella Swan, I promise to love you for every day of forever. Will you do me the extraordinary honor of marrying me?" he asked.

I suddenly realized why there was worry in his face. He was worried I would say no.

There was only one way to answer that.

I smiled at him and quickly said, "Yes, of course yes."

His face lit up like a Christmas tree on Christmas eve as he placed the ring on my finger.

He stood up, hugged me and swung us around before gently putting me back down and kissing me fervently.

This was by far one of the happiest moments of my life.

Suddenly I realized we had a problem.

"Edward, Charlie isn't gonna let you live with us. Even if we are married." I said as I gently slid out of his embrace.

Suddenly Edward started smiling. He pulled out a folded paper from his jacket pocket.

"That's why this is the second part of your gift today." he said as he handed me the paper.

I took it looking confused.

I opened it up to see that it was a lease to an apartment.

I looked at Edward is disbelief.

"I bought it last month. I know you've been looking for a place for you and the baby. You would have gotten the apartment whether you said yes or no, but I had a feeling you'd say yes." he said with a smile on his face.

I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss his cheek.

"I love you." was all I could think to say at this moment.

"I love you too." he whispered back.

After we had hugged I looked at the lease and smiled.

I then looked up at him and asked "Can we go see it?"

"Of course. Hop on." he said before I climbed on his back and we ran out of the meadow.

30 MINUTES LATER

He opened the apartment and I was amazed at how big it was.

It is a 2 story apartment with a big living room, a kitchen with a small space for a table and chairs, 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms.

Edward took me upstairs to the last bedroom on the right. It is very spacious with a big widow on the back wall that lets the sun in to fill the entire room.

"This is the second biggest bedroom." he said. "I think it would be perfect for her."

I turned around and smiled at him.

He looked so sexy leaning against the door frame with that crooked smile on his face.

I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around him.

"You're lucky there's not a bed in this apartment yet, you realize?" I asked him.

I heard him chuckle softly as he wrapped his arms around me.

"Well don't worry, after the baby's born we'll get right on giving her a brother or sister." he said.

"What if I don't wanna wait that long?" I asked as I let my hands slide down to his chest.

Suddenly he pulled us apart and looked at me with a determination on his face.

"Bella, I love you, and I would love to MAKE love to you. But I want to have the next time be on our honeymoon. Please just grant me that?" he pleaded.

As much as I wanted to, I loved him too much to argue it with him.

"OK Edward, our wedding night." I said.

Then I got a fake serious look on my face.

"But if you make me wait one day longer than that you'll be the one coming to ME begging for some sheet action." I said.

He just chuckled and wrapped his arm around me as we walked out of the room.

"Something tells me I don't need to worry about that." he said as we walked down the hall for him to continue the tour.

After he had shown me what would be our room and the spare bedroom for guests we walked back downstairs and as we left our new home, he locked the door.

Edward looked at his watch and his face fell a bit.

"We gotta get you home." he said as we got into the car.

"Why what's wrong?" I asked as I buckled my seat belt.

"If we don't get you home to get ready now, we're gonna be late for dinner." he said as he pulled out onto the street.

I just nodded as he took my hand while we drove back to my place.

As he pulled into the driveway he finally spoke.

"Alice should be inside waiting for you."

"Alice?" I said with a hint of fear in my voice.

I loved the girl but sometimes her obsession with fashion scared me.

He just smiled and chuckled.

"Don't worry I talked to her and she promised to keep it simple yet tasteful." he promised.

"I'll be back in 2 hours." he promised me as he leaned over and kissed me.

I just nodded and got out of the car.

I almost feared going into the house. I had no idea how bad Alice could make this.

I walked in and didn't see anyone at first.

"Hello?" I called out.

Suddenly Alice came downstairs.

"Charlie is eating at Billy's tonight so he doesn't have to see all the 'girly' stuff we're doing. His words not mine." she said as she practically pulled me upstairs.

"Alice-" I started to say.

"No buts or anything Bella, you're my little lab rat for right now." She said as we walked down the short hallway.

"Now take a shower then meet me in your room." She said with a smile on her face.

90 MINUTES LATER

Alice had done my hair, makeup, and was now pulling something out of my closet.

I could tell it was a black and dark red dress but I wasn't sure of one thing.

"Alice, are you sure that's gonna fit around this one here?" I asked as I rubbed my belly.

She just smiled.

"Don't worry Bella, I took your measurements the other day remember?" she said as she took the dress off of the hanger.

She then helped me get the dress on.

It was a beautiful dress. The body of the dress was a dark red with a black outline. It went down to just below my knees and was a spaghetti strap with a V-neck to it.

I almost didn't recognize the woman standing in front of the mirror.

Alice seemed to vocalize how I felt at that moment.

"You're gorgeous." She said with a smile as she rechecked my hair and makeup making sure we hadn't messed it up while putting on the dress.

Suddenly we heard the doorbell ring.

Alice smiled at me.

"I'll get it. You come down after a count of 10 OK?" she said as she opened the door.

I just nodded as she shut the door.

I silently counted to myself.

I took a deep breath, opened the door and headed downstairs.

Edward looked so handsome.

He was wearing a black overcoat with a black shirt underneath with a red tie, black slacks and black shoes.

He even looked like he had brushed his hair.

He was smiling at Alice before he heard me come downstairs.

He looked at me like I was the last woman on earth.

Then he came over to the stairs, took my hand and kissed my forehead.

"You look absolutely stunning." he said.

I smiled and silently thanked him.

Alice hugged me, told us to have a good time, and then Edward escorted me to his car.

"So where are we going?" I asked as we got onto the road.

"I made reservations at La Bella Italia." he said with a smile.

I smiled at him and leaned over to kiss his cheek.

"What was that for?" he asked.

"For remembering where our first date was." I say with a smile as I take his hand in mine.

We were greeted at the door by the hostess.

"Table for two, Cullen" Edward said.

The hostess found our names and smiled as she escorted us to our table.

Shortly after being seated our waitress came over.

"Good evening, my name is Brittney and I will be your server this evening." She said with a smile on her face.

"Just let me know when you're ready to order." She said as she walked over to another table to check on her customer.

Dinner that night was amazing.

I ordered the mushroom ravioli's with a water. Edward of course didn't order anything besides a water.

After dinner he suggested we go to his house to announce our engagement.

On the drive there I decided to ask him something.

"So have you thought of any name's for her yet?" I asked as I rubbed my belly.

"No, have you?" he asked.

"I was playing around with some names the other day. What do you think of Renesmee Elizabeth Cullen?" I asked.

"Renesmee?" he asked confused.

"Yeah, it's a mix of Renee and Esme." I said.

I could see he was playing with it around in his head.

"Renesmee...I like it." he said with a smile.

"But how did you come up with Elizabeth?" he asked.

"I know it's your real mother's name Edward. I thought you'd want her to live on in her granddaughter." I said.

Suddenly I was worried he'd be upset I decided to use that name.

But he just smiled and took my hand and rubbed it against his cheek.

"Thank you Bella. That means so much to me." he said just before I saw the lights of the house.

"No thanks is necessary." I said as I leaned over and kissed his cheek.

We got inside just as I heard Alice say "And she said yes!"

Suddenly we realized that Alice had just told them we were engaged.

Everyone looked up as we came inside.

Then Alice turned around and saw us.

Her eyes got big and she gave us a very apologetic look.

"Oops?" she said with a look that said "please forgive me".

Edward just looked at me and smiled.

"Just as long as it never happens again." he said to her with a smile.

She smiled at us and held up 2 fingers.

"Never again, scouts honor." she said with a smile.

This was followed by many hugs, kisses and congratulations.

After I'd shown everyone the ring I saw Edward leaning against the door frame next to the stairs.

He cocked his head to the side signaling me to walk over to him.

We walked up to the top floor and Edward opened a door I had never seen before.

It was the door to the roof.

Edward had laid out a blanket with 2 extra blankets folded next to it.

I looked at him confused as he walked us over and grabbed one of the blankets.

He then wrapped his coat over my shoulders before helping me sit down.

He then sat down behind me and pulled me back so I was leaning onto his stomach.

Then he grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around us before wrapping his arms around me.

We just sat there cuddled up staring at the stars.

"I'd forgotten how beautiful the stars are." I said quietly.

"Yes, they are beautiful." I heard Edward say.

Then I heard him whisper in my ear "But they are just specks of dust next to your radiant beauty."

I just smiled and turned around to kiss him.

I then turned back around and leaned back into his chest.

We sat up their staring at the stars while Edward gently stroked Renesmee inside.

I don't know when I fell asleep but I woke up for about 5 minutes around 3 in the morning. Only this time I wasn't on the roof, but on the bed Edward had put in his room for when I slept at the Cullen's.

I looked around before suddenly feeling those familiar cold arms wrap around me.

"It's ok," he whispered, "Just sleep."

That was the last thing I heard before drifting back into my peaceful slumber.

This was by far one of the greatest days of my entire life.

I knew, even after I was turned, I would never forget this day.

So what do you think? Please push that button and let me know!
