B POV
It's been a few weeks since the Cullen's have come to Forks and it is now December. It's Friday and my birthday. After school we were all going to the Cullen's house and Emily and Chris would meet us there.
During school Edward and I talked about a lot of stuff but he seemed to be daydreaming most of the time.
During lunch we all talked about what we wanted to do, we decided to go for a family hunt when we were all there. Then Alice, Rosalie, Roxie, and Amelia decided that we should all look nice , so after the hunt they were going to play 'Bella Barbie', much to my protests.
So after school we made our way to the Cullen's and waited for Chris and Emily to arrive.
"Dude this is going to be so exciting!" Emmett boomed and Erik agreed, but after the outburst it was fairly quiet.
"Five seconds until they arrive." Alice said and five second later they walked through the door.
After we filled them in on what we were doing we left. We stayed together for most of the hunt but then broke up into couples. About an hour later we met back up again and went to the house.
"C'mon Bella, let's go play!" Alice said excitedly.
We went upstairs and picked out each other's clothes, and did hair and makeup.
They made sure my hair was pin straight like it usually is for our concerts. They made my eyes look smoky and put on a thin layer of clear lip gloss. They put me in hi-rise black acid wash skinny jeans, a navy blue and white rugby striped long-sleeved shirt, a black jacket that looked like u would find it in the military and a pair of grey flannel boots that has a black bow around it.
Amelia is wearing a short black/gray dress with a pair of black wedge sandals that has criss-crossing straps.
Roxie was dressed in a small silver dress with pair of 5" silver heels.
Alice is wearing a pink and maroon strapless dress with a pair of steel gray 4" heels.
Rose was dressed in a tight looking red open backed dress with a pair of red 4.25" heels.
We went downstairs and all the guys were looking at us as if we were something to eat. Alice ran off and then was back in a nano second.
"Present time!" Both she and Amelia squealed out.
"No way, you guys know that I didn't want any presents." I complained.
"Don't worry Bella, you'll love it, trust me." She said tapping her temple.
I nodded and Amelia stepped up.
"This is from all of us." She said motioning to herself, Jackson, Roxie, Erik, Chris and Emily.
She gave me a thin box and when I opened it there were two plane tickets.
"Thank you." I said even though I had no idea what they were for. All the tickets said was that me and another person are going to South America.
"And this is from Jasper, Alice, Emmett, and I." Rose said holding up a small box.
I lifted the lid and there was a key that looked like it went to a boat or something.
"Make sure you don't forget it when you go." Alice said which made me even more confused; I had no idea what these tickets were linked to. I have never cared to go to South America and I had never thought about wanting a boat. But I, of course, thanked them anyway.
"I believe our gift is next if I am not mistaken dear." Carlisle said to Esme.
"Ah, yes, I believe you are correct." Esme said before turning to me. "Here you go Bella."
She gave me a box identical to the last one. I opened it to find another key sitting in the cushion of the box, but this time it looked like a house key.
I looked up at Carlisle and Esme confused.
"It's for your getaway, sweetheart." She said which confused me even more but she just smiled in a way that told me I would find out soon enough.
I looked around to find that everyone besides Carlisle, Esme and I had left the room.
"I am assuming that everyone is out on the deck." Esme said, so we began to make our way out the back door and onto the deck.
When we got outside, I took in my surroundings. There were lights everywhere and everyone besides Edward was on the gazebo looking like a little mini orchestra.
"Bella, happy birthday, I wrote a song for you a while ago and I decided today would be the perfect day to sing it to you. It's about how you would make me feel if you were my biological daughter and we were human. I hope you like it." Chris said from his spot at the microphone at the entrance to the gazebo.
(Song is My Little Girl by Tim McGraw.)
Gotta hold on easy as I let you go
Gonna tell you how much I love you
Though you think you already know
I remember I thought you looked like an angel
Wrapped in pink, so soft and warm
You've had me wrapped around you finger
Since the day you were born
You beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dream but always know the road
That'll lead you home again
Go on, take on this whole world
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl
When you were in trouble that crooked little smile
Could melt my heart of stone
Now look at you, I've turned around
And you've almost grown
Sometimes your asleep I whisper 'I love you'
In the moonlight at your door
As I walk away, I hear you say
'Daddy, I love you more'
You beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road
That'll lead you home again
Go on, take on this whole world
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl
Someday, some boy will come
And ask me for your hand
But I won't say yes to him unless I know
He's the half that makes you whole
He has a poet's soul, and the heart of a man's man
I know he'll say he's in love
But between you and me
He won't be good enough
You beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know
The road that'll lead you home again
Go on, take on this whole world
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl
When the song came to an end I was shaking with dry sobs and Chris smile at me.
"Thank you, I love it." I whispered.
He nodded. "Bella, would you do us all a favor?" I nodded. "Turn around and please say yes."
I slowly turned around and when I did I gasped. Kneeling on the ground at my feet was Edward in a tux with a beautiful ring in his hand.
"Bella, we were engaged when we were human and it's all I can remember of that life. Now you're here when I never thought I would see you, making me never truly be able to love someone again. So will you please do me the honor of being my fiancée once again, and very soon, becoming my wife?" He asked and I dropped down on my knees nodding my head.
"Yes I would love to marry you." I choked out.
"Thank you for making me the happiest and luckiest guy in the history of forever." He said then hugged me and kissing me while everyone stood around us clapping.
After a few minutes everyone, meaning Alice and Amelia, finally calmed down.
So anyone want to tell me what my gifts are for?" I asked.
Esme stepped up. "Quite a while ago Carlisle gave me an island, named Isle Esme. On the island there is a cabin that I am allowing you and Edward to go to celebrate your engagement. You will be leaving in two weeks, for your week long Thanksgiving vacation. The key we gave you goes to the cabin." She said.
"Thank you both, so much." I said to them and they smiled back.
Alice then stepped up. "The key we gave you goes to a boat that we bought for you guys to go to the island. "The name of the boat is 'La Isabella', the name was Emmet's idea." I nodded to them and thanked them as well.
The last person to step up was Roxie. "The plane tickets we got you will take you from here to a small coastal town in South America. At the airport there will be a car waiting with a driver ready to take you to the docks where you will get on the boat and head to Isle Esme." She said.
"Thank you, all of you; this has to be one of my favorite birthdays, by far." I told them.
"Great, now let's go play some baseball." Emmet said.
We went to change. My family changed into baseball jerseys and pants that had our family crest on them. Once we had all changed we went down stairs. Once everyone was downstairs Emmett and Erik took off with the rest of us following behind him.
E POV
After we went hunting the girls went upstairs for about an hour to change their clothes so that they were wearing something nice. Of course, the girls kept going on about how Bella looked but they never actually pictured her in their heads.
They came down and I was speechless, she was absolutely gorgeous.
Next was present time, according to Amelia and Alice. And trust me, she was absolutely confused when she had gotten her presents.
We were now outside and I have to admit that all of the females in the family had completely outdone themselves
Once Bella, Carlisle and Esme came out Chris said a little speech and then started the song he wrote for her.
"Bella, will you please do us all a favor?" He asked when he was done and when she nodded he continued. "Turn around and say yes."
It was time, I knew that if I was still human I would be sweating bullets, and I probably was when I proposed to her when we were human. This was the most nerve racking experience of my vampire existence.
She turned around and gasped so I took that as my cue to start speaking. I nervously repeated the speech that I had practiced in front of my mirror for the last few weeks.
She started sobbing uncontrollably and dropped down to her knees and nodded. She hugged me. "Yes, I would love to marry you." She choked out and I kissed her passionately while everyone else clapped and cheered.
The next thing she did was demand to know what her presents were for.
After everyone explained, Emmett decided to break the peacefulness that had settles upon all of us.
"Great, now let's go play some baseball." He boomed and we all went upstairs to change.
We changed into our uniforms that had the Cullen crest on them, then went back downstairs to see that Bella and her family had changed and well and they had their family crest on their uniforms to.
Emmett all of a sudden took off into the forest so we all followed. We got to the field in a few minutes and Emmett and Erik shook hands.
"Let the games begin." Erik said and Emmett nodded.
We decided that we would bat first so Bella and her family made their way onto the field.
Chris was catching, Amelia was pitching, Roxie stood between first and second base, while Bella stood in the shortstop position between second and third. That left Erik and Jackson in the outfield.
Carlisle was batting first, then me, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and then Rosalie was batting last.
Esme and Emily were going to ref.
Carlisle went up to home plate and when Amelia threw the ball and Carlisle hit a grounder in Bella's direction. She dived for it and quickly threw it to Roxie who was standing at second before Carlisle could get there and she got him out.
I hit and the ball went into the woods resulting in a home run. I grinned at Bella and she rolled her eyes when I ran up to her and gave her a chaste kiss on the lips on my way to home plate.
Alice hit it out to the outfield and Erik picked it up and threw it to Bella who tagged her out. Jasper hit it and got to third.
Emmett brought Jasper home on a two-run homer. Rose hit the ball but Jackson ran at full speed and dove to catch it. When he got up the ball was in his hand and Esme and Emily called her out while she pouted like a little girl. I expected that from Alice, but not from Rose.
Bella's family was up to bat with Chris hitting first, then Bella, Jackson, Amelia, Roxie and then Erik hitting last.
Alice went to pitch and Carlisle caught for her, Rose took Bella's spot and Jasper took Roxie's spot, which left me and Emmett in the outfield.
Chris hit the ball and made it to third base. Bella hit it into the woods and I went for it.
I got back and threw it to Carlisle but Bella had beaten it to home by about 2 seconds. She looked at me from her spot on home plate and grinned, and then she blew me a kiss.
Jackson hit but this time I got the ball to home plate before he did and Carlisle tagged him out. Amelia hit the ball but Emmet ran up a tree in the middle of the outfield and then jumped off of it and caught the ball.
"My monkey man." Rose said seductively and Emmett winked at her.
Roxie went next but both me and Emmett went for it and ran into each other creating a thundering noise. We got up and Emmett threw the ball to third to keep her from going any farther. Erik hit the ball and got Roxie home but he got tagged out in the process before he could get to third.
The whole game went basically like that and by two am we decided to leave it at 59 to 59.
We ran back to the house and then at six am everyone except Bella left, so we went up to my room and listened to music until Alice came in and told her that Roxie and Amelia were here and that they were going shopping.
