BPOV

I rushed Anthony into the hospital lobby, Anthony crying in pain over my shoulder.

"Excuse me, could you direct me to Dr. Cullen's office please?" I said rushed.

The secretary look a bit flustered but said. "3rd floor. Right down the hall."

I rushed to the stairs because I knew the elevator would be too slow for my liking. My ankle screamed in protest but I still ran. Down side to my taking the stairs there was the almost inevitable possibility of my tripping.

Soon enough I reached his office and I knocked.

"Come in," the muffled voice of my beloved said.

I rushed in making Edward's head snap up from its previous position on the table. His face filled with joy but then panic when he saw my expression.

"What happened? What's wrong?" he hurried, running to take Anthony out of my now tired arms.

"Anthony was on the swing at your parents' house and he swung too high and flew out. He landed on the ground and a rock scraped his face and I think he broke his leg when he landed." I gushed out in gasps.

Edward looked at me briefly before left to check on Anthony. I fell into his chair and gripped my ankle in pain. Ugh! Great it feels sprained now. I bit my lip to prevent me from moaning in pain. I tried taking off my shoe but that only caused more pain.

When Edward re-entered he had Anthony's forehead was stitched as well as the bruises on his right cheek. I noticed he was in a cast and on crotches. I scooped him up in my arms and sat him in my lap. He leaned into me as I stroked his hair lovingly.

"What's wrong with him?" I asked Edward who looked at me seriously. Obviously still in doctor mood.

"He has a few injuries I stitched up and a broken leg." His face turned to one of concern. "let me see your ankle."

I sighed but stayed still for him to examine it. He looked up at me with a small smile before taking off my shoe so gently that I barely felt. He looked at it a bit before taking it in both hands and rotating it slowly. It was painful but it helped and soon enough it hurt less.

I smiled in thanks with he returned with a nod. He kissed it gently before putting my shoes back on and standing up.

"So what time does your shift finish?' I asked.

"In a hour," he said, tying my laces. "Can you save dinner for me?"

I smiled and shook my head before getting up and shifting Anthony onto my hip. "We'll wait for you." I touched his cheek and smiled. "As we always do."

He looked into my eyes and touched my cheek as I did his. I leaned into his touch and gazed back into his. "I don't deserve you, Bella."

Before I could rebuke otherwise, his lips were on mine. They moved with mine in such gentle passion and fluidity.

"Eww," Anthony whined in disgust, breaking our kiss.

Edward pulled away from me to mess up Anthony's even more than it was before. "Way to go kid," he said rolling his eyes but he chuckled.

Anthony grinned at his dad while Edward turned to kiss my cheek gently never taking his eyes off of Anthony who scrunched up his face in disgust at us. I giggled and blushed.

"I'll see you tonight, Bella," he whispered in my ear sending a shiver down my spine.

I blushed crimson and picked up Anthony. "Come on, little buddy."

"Bye Dad!" Anthony said before I took him out.

I picked up the girls at Esme and Carlisle's house and headed to Edward's house.

When I opened the door, Ella and Lizzy ran up to Lizzy's room to get markers to sign Anthony's cast as I helped him out with Maria the cooing baby on my hip blowing bubbles.

Anthony got his crotches out and began to hobble forward on his own but I stayed close by just in case.

As the girls giggled about what to write on Anthony's cast Anthony sat on the couch watching TV but laughing every once in a while at what the girls would say.

I smiled and put Maria in her playpen with her favourite toys while I went to the kitchen to start on the lasagne for dinner.

About an hour later, the lasagne was almost done and I heard the sound of tires on the asphalt. I smiled to myself as I finish buttering the garlic bread and setting the table.

I went back into the kitchen to put up my apron when I felt strong arms around my torso.

"Hello, my love," he murmured kissing my cheek.

"Good evening Edward," I smiled. "Dinner's ready."

"What are we having??"

"Lasagne with buttered garlic bread."

He groaned. "I love you Bella."

I giggled. "I love you too, Edward."

I laid silent in Edward's arms thinking, my back against his chest.

"Bella?" he murmured into my hair.

"Hmm??"

"What are you thinking, love?"

I hesitated in slight awkwardness. I shifted in his arms uncomfortably. "Nothing."

"Doesn't sound like nothing," Edward hinted.

I sighed and remained silent. I closed my eyes and soon heard Edward exhale sharply but remain quiet.

I was being stupid and stubborn, I know I could tell Edward anything…

"Edward…did you mean what you said?"

"What are you talking about?" he said in much confusion in his velvety voice.

"When you were on the phone with Esme," I whispered with my eyes still closed. "Did you mean what you said? Do you really think you want to marry me?"

He spun me around slowly to face me but my eyes remained closed. "Is that all your worried about?"

I nodded and felt his lips touch my eyelids making them open to meet his gaze.

He smiled. "Bella, I don't think I want to marry you."

My eyes watered and I looked down. "Oh…"

He chuckled. "Bella, I know I want to marry you."

My heart pounded in my ears as my breath hitched and I turned to look up at him. "Really, Edward?"

His eyes shone with joy, sincerity and assurance. "Really, Bella."

A watery smile spread across my face as I cried into his chest. He stroked my back soothingly, calming me. When my tears ceased, I laughed a little.

"Was that a proposal?" I asked still laughing.

He grinned and swiped my tears away. "But I didn't get down on one knee."

I rolled my eyes. "I'd rather you not, trust me"

He laughed. "I'm supposing I should pick the ring up at the Jeweller's."

I was about to rebuke but then I registered to his words. "Pick up? As in you have it already?"

He nodded and my jaw fell drastically and my eyes bulged out.

"I was actually thinking about getting it engraved this morning before you came."

"You had your head in your hands," I said remembering.

"Yes, because I was stressing if it would be a perfect fit or not and if you'd accept it." he explained.

"Edward I don't want you spending money on me for the millionth time," I complained.

"I didn't spend anything on it," he reassured me. "It's a hand me down."

I glared at him, not liking the sound of having a ring. "Edward…"

"Come on, Bella," he countered before touching my cheek gently making me lean into his touch. "You're the girl of my dreams and I want to spend the rest of my life with you." He brought my hand to his lips to kiss it gently sending an electric current through my entire body. "And I want everyone to know that you're the one I'm in love with. A ring is a public symbol of my love for you. Please, Bella." He used the advantage of his eyes to persuade me.

I groaned and sighed. "Fine."

His smile widened and his pulled me closer to kiss my cheek. "I love you, Isabella Marie Swan."

I smiled at him and hugged him closer. "So wait," I said pulling away slightly. "Does this mean we're engaged?" I couldn't contain the smile that spread across my face.

"Yes. And you're my gorgeous fiancé," he said before catching my lips into a sweet loving kiss.
