ONE YEAR LATER
"Aaron, honey. You have to let go." I felt his hair brush against my cleanly shaven leg. "I don't want to go" he muttered against my leg. I sighed. It was Aaron's first day of Pre-k and him being a little nervous was a understatement. I sent a look to a chuckling Edward. Finally taking me out of my misery he picked Aaron off my leg and whispered something in his ear to which Aaron eargerly nodded.
He sent me a wink as Aaron pulled him into the Pre-k center. I smiled at them, leaning against a tree. I turn my gaze as somebody stood next to me "nice to see you again Bella" I turned around to find Angela standing there, smiling at me. I returned the grin. "you two" a moment of silence passed through. "I'm guessing he's off to pre-k now?" I nodded. "what are you doing here? Not to be rude" she waved it off "I'm dropping off my niece" I nodded. "mommy!" I heard someone scream.
I turned around and saw a little Aaron barraling towards me, a nervous Edward chasing after him. I picked up Aaron before he ran into the girlie bits and he wrapped his arms and legs around me. Edward caught up and sent me a anxious smile. "don't make me go" Aaron said into my neck. "so how'd it go?" I asked Edward sarcastically, mocking his earlier confidence. He shot me a irritated look as he pressed a kiss to my lips. "come on buddy, you got to go" Edward murmmured as he tried prying Aaron off me. I looked at Angela who was grinning like a cat who ate the canary.
An hour later, we were finally able to get Aaron into the Pre-k, had a quick chat with Angela and parted ways. "come on, let's go somewhere" Edward whispered into my ear" I nodded, "where?" he grinned "that's for me to know, and you to not know." I rolled my eyes at the ridiculous comeback. If that's what you could call it.
With my eyes covered with a blind-fold, and Edward given the car keys, we were off. "are we there yet" I asked every 5 minutes, much to Edward's annoyance. After 36 minutes exactly the car slowed to a stop. "can I take off my blindfold?" I sighed when the reply was a no. I heard my car door open and felt the rush of air, I squeaked in suprise when I was pulled bridal style into Edward's arms. I snuggled into him and a kiss was pressed onto my forehead. "I love you" I smiled into his shirt "I love you" I replied back, giddy of the words.
I was rocked back and forth as we seemed to climb upwards, Edward grunting every now and then. We seemed to stop and I was placed on my feet. "stay right there" he whispered into my ear, sending a shiver down my spine. I heard him shuffling around and decided to try to figure out where I was. I could feel the slope of the ground, the sound of twigs being snapped and leaves crushed from Edward's catastrophic feet. I could barely hear the sound of a creek, leaving me absolutely clueless.
I tried to peek through the blind-fold but was lightly scolded by Edward when I did. I stood there for a few minutes, growing more and more irritated as Edward continued doing stuff I couldn't see. "hurry up" I whined. I could practically hear him roll his eyes. "ok you can take it off" I quickly ripped it off once he said ok.
We were standing in what seemed to be a perfectly round meadow. Tree's outlined the edging, colorfull flowers decorated the long grass, and a large old looking tree stood in the middle of the meadow. Attached to it, a tire swing. I saw Edward leaning against the tree, arms open, grin on his face. I looked around again, not quite believing a place like this could exist. I suddenly took off towards Edward, throwing myself into his arms and into a kiss.
He pulled away breathlessly "do you like it?" I looked at him in shock "like it? I LOVE it." He grinned wider, "good." he looked at the tire swing, raising a eyebrow he nodded towards it. Understanding the silent question I nodded and sat in the tire. He pushed me blissfully, we chatted about small things but I couldn't help but notice how he seemed to grow anxious. After a big shove he seemed to all over disappear. I looked around for him, not bothering to look ahead of me.
"Edward?" I called repeadly. Sighing I gave up, depressed he seemed to leave. Looking forward I saw Edward standing in front of the tire swing. He held me to a stop, I stared at him furiously "you had me so worried! What is thi-" he cut me off by pressing a love filled kiss to my lips. He pulled away and I stared at him. I gasped as he slowly kneeled down, pulling out a small black felt box.
"we've been through so much, from the birth of our son, to all our fights and the tragedies we've suffered through. And all I can think when I see you is how I would go through every horrible thing I've ever been through to hold you, to kiss you, to tell you I love you. Cause god I mean it, I truly do. When I see you I can't breath cause it overwhelms me, my heart beats a whole different beat when you smile at me. I can see us with 2 more children, a white picket house, we could even get Buster a new friend. What I'm trying to say is. You and Aaron have changed my life in ways no one could. I love you both more then the world and everything that's on it combined. Isabella Marie Swan, will you do the pleasure of marrying me?"
By the time he was done, tears were streaming down my face, my hands were pressed into my mouth in shock. Unable to respond I wrapped myself on him, pulling him in for a deep kiss. "yes" I whispered hoarsly. He grinned as he slipped the ring onto my finger. "I love you so much"
so this story will be coming to a end at 20 chapters.. I know it upsets me to ): but I will be starting a new book, called Salvations. It has more of a deeper and darker plot and I'm going to try my hand at that kind of stuff. Still E/B though if it goes the way I plan not exactly a HEA. I will be posting the summary on the last chapter or whenever I figure out the summary, lol. I will be posting these last 2 chapters quickly, today and if needed tomorrow. Yes I am anxious to finish this story and try a new one. Though this one will always be my baby
