Chapter 46:

Get to Work

I smiled hugely, jumping up and hugging him.

"Yes, of course! It's about time, don't you think?" I asked and he smiled widely.

"Really, I have your permission?" he asked.

"Dude, I'm your daughter, why would you need my permission?" I asked.

"Well, you grew up with her and . . . I don't know" he said. "It feels right"

"This is going to be incredible. We have to do dresses and flowers and decorations and cake . . . " I trailed off. "I need to find mom a dress and you a tux" I said planning happily.

"Ness, she has to say yes first" he said.

"She will, I know she will" I answered him as I ran off.

He followed behind me, catching up quickly.

"Don't worry, we'll help you set up where ever you want to ask" I promised as we ran.

"Thanks Nessie" he said sincerely and I nodded.

We got back to the house, both of us smiling widely.

"Have a good hunt?" mom asked and I nodded, running to the garage.

"Mel, Soph, Rosalie, I need you guys to do me a favor" I asked.

"What?"

"Get mom out of the house" I whispered.

"Why?" Sophie asked.

"Just do it and I'll explain later" they said and I nodded.

I waited in the garage as they left.

"Come on Bella, we need to buys some stuff and we want you to come" Rosalie said.

"Yeah, come girl time" Sophie added.

"Uhh . . . okay" she finally said and I heard them shut the door softly.

I waited until I was sure they were out of hearing distance and then walked out

"Go talk to Will and I'll plan with Alice" I ordered and he nodded, running up the stairs.

"Ahh!' Alice called as she came running down. "This is going to be perfect! I shall plan everything" she said and I cleared my throat. "With everyone's help, of course" she added.

"What's going on?" Alex asked as he came out with Jasper and Emmett. Carlisle came down from the study and Esme out of the kitchen, all curious.

"Edward will tell you" I said and right on cue, Edward came down, Will right behind him.

EPOV

"Go talk to Will and I'll plan with Alice" Nessie ordered and I nodded, running up the stairs.

I slowed down as I neared the study. Now, I was nervous. I walked ridiculously slow to the door and knocked twice before going in. Will was on the computer, typing fast with some calculations by his side.

"What's up?" he asked as he saw me come in.

"I want . . . to ask you something" I said.

"Well, ask away" he said and I swallowed hard.

"I want to ask your permission to propose and marry Bella" I said and he froze.

I began to panic.

"I love her so much and I want to spend the rest of my existence with her" I explained.

Slowly his eyes focused on me and he finally smiled.

"Of course you can" he said and a full blown grin broke out. "She'll be really happy with you" he said and I smiled. "As long as you don't hurt her again, which I have very little doubt you will"

"Thank you Will. Now, everyone's wondering what the big secret is and I have to go tell" I said as I walked out.

He followed after me as I walked down the stairs.

"Edward, What is going on?" Esme asked as she looked at me along with just about evryone else.

"I was talking to Will and Nessie about proposing to Bella" I said and she smiled hugely.

She came up and hugged me tightly and I could almost feel the joy radiating out of her.

"When?" Alex asked and I was left short.

I hadn't planned that yet.

"I was thinking in the meadow but I'm not sure when" I admitted.

"How about in 1 week?" Alice asked and then nodded. "1 week"

And so, all of us smiling, got together and began planning the big proposal.

BPOV

"Okay, what is going on?" I finally asked one day at our lunch table.

We had connected 2 tables where all of us now sat. Ever since Sophie Mel and Rosalie took me shopping, everyone was acting different. They seemed . . . secretive.

"Nothing" they all answered and I just rolled my eyes.

That was the answer they kept giving me and it was getting annoying.

"Guys!" I said and they just laughed.

Edward wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed my head softly. I had a feeling he was at the center of this secret.

EPOV

"No Alice, I'll just play my piano music in the background, no orchestra" I argued in gym while Bella was changing.

"Fine, be that way. Nessie and I will be setting it up. Bye!" she said as she ran off.

I shook my head. Sometimes, Alice was useful but she was still annoying.

"Hey" Bella said as she walked out of the dressing room.

"Hi" I said as I kissed her passionetly

"So, when do I get to know what's going on?" she asked seductively.

"Nothing is going on Bella" I said.

"Really, because I think there is" she said as she trailed her fingers lightly up my arm.

I groaned softly under her touch. She was such a cheater.

"Please" she begged softly, her eyes growing adorably huge.

"I . . . Bella—" suddenly, I current of electricity passed through me. "Whoa!" I said as I fell back.

"Come on Edward" Will said as he helped him up.

"What is going on!" Bella said frustratedly and I chuckled.

"Just relax Bella, nothing is going on, you're just being paranoid" I heard Sophie say as I walked off.

"Thanks for that" I told Will.

"No problem. I would've come earlier but I didn't notice until Sophie told me" he answered.

Gym passed painstakingly slow. I was nervous but excited for tonight. Alice was already setting it up. All I had to do was get ready and add final touches. Then I would bring Bella.

"Come on guys! Don't you love me?" Bella wailed in the car. I was driving and she was safely in the back with Mel and Alex. Will was riding next to me.

"Of course Bella but we can't have to near Edward right now. We already saw what happened in gym" Will said and we all laughed.

"I just want to know what's going on!" she said stubbornly from the back and I smiled.

"Bella, just calm down. We don't want to have to call up Carlisle. You just have a small feeling of paranoia. It's okay. Just breathe" Will said and by her face, she would be ripping his head off right no if Alex and Mel weren't holding her down.

"Will, I'm breathing" she said in a lethal voice.

"Good . . . that's good. Just keep on breathing" Will said, trying to hold in a laugh.

She growled at him loudly and I laughed.

"It's okay Bella, he's just messing with you" I said as I stroked her hand which was near me.

"I'm watching both of you very closely" she said as she got out of the car and walked up to our house.

"Bella! Finally!" Alice called as she grabbed her.

"Alice!" I called as I ran after Bella.

"No! I have to get her ready!" she said.

"I haven't even asked her" I said exasperated.

"Asked me what?" Bella asked but Alice ignored her.

"You haven't asked her! Why?" she nearly yelled at me.

"I was going to just before you took her away!" I said and she rolled her eyes.

She let go off Bella and ran upstairs, glaring at me.

"Ask me what?" Bella said as she crossed her arms, staring at me.

I sighed softly. 'Come on! You're not asking her yet!' I told myself mentally.

"Alice sort of ruined it but . . . will you go out with me tonight?" I asked her.

"Of course" she said immediately as she ran over to me.

I kissed her passionately knowing I had 3 . . . 2 . . . 1—

"Okay, now I can get her ready" Alice said as she pulled Bella away.

"Edward!" she called as Alice pulled her up.

"Come on, stop staring at the stairs. She won't come down for about 4 hours" Nessie said as she shook me. "You need to help me finish getting it ready and then I have to get you ready" Nessie said as she ran off.

I followed after her, catching everything she tossed at me. We ran to the meadow I had found before. Alice and Nessie had already cleaned it and leveled it out. There was a smooth, clean layer of snow over the top and the trees were glistening with icicles and snow.

"Perfect" I breathed and Nessie smiled.

"I know, now get to work" she ordered.


A/N

Hey Guys! So what did you think? Edward asked Nessie and Will, of course. He's like the father figure of the family. And now, begins the planning! I won't make it too long. There isn't much to say without the story getting boring so I'm going to make it acceptibely long/short. Deal? Oh! I can't wait . . . .you all know what's probably coming up next *Squeal!* It's sad though. My long, beautiful story is now coming to a close soon. It's been a good ride and as I said THERE IS A SEQUELAnyways, school is almost over! Only 8 more school day and I'm done! Summer, barbeques, ECLIPSE PREMIRE! Ahh, lot's of stuff to look forward to. Oh! guess what!:! I went surfing today! It was awesome! We got feree surf lessons and the waves were up. One word describes it all ;HARD/. You have to jump up like in a push up but land on work feet. Land to farr up, the board tips over your head. Too far back, tips towards your head. Too much left or right, it wobbles and like all the others, knocks you off. I fell off my board like 20 times and must have gotten about 3 gallons of salt water up my nose. It was cool though when you were able to stand up and surf to the shore.I do have very big exams nect week and my Algebra I Honors Full Year State-wide final exam in a wekk and a few days! I have to study so my update next week might be on Sunday. I'll try to make it on Friday or Saturday but no promises.
