Bella:
I'm handed magazine upon magazine filled with baby furniture and fabric samples in a multitude of different colours and textures.
Still, I'm a bit shocked by everything.
"Are you sure? It's just…this is…woah," I mumble, looking at all the magazines.
"We've been planning this for a while. It's not some kind of rush decision," Esme says, smiling kindly. "It's the least we can do," she adds.
"So, colours first then? We have to have a colour scheme!" Alice announces, squealing slightly. Esme gets that ecstatic look in her eyes, which well a bit, at the sound of Alice speaking and how much happier she is.
"We'll need a fairly neutral colour. You don't know the sex, right? And since you're having triplets, it's highly likely you'll have at least one of each," Rose nods along with Alice.
"How about green?" I suggest. They all seem to like the idea, so we begin looking through the furniture magazines for cribs and changing tables and highchairs and bookcases.
There's a lot of stuff needed.
Most of the afternoon is spent choosing furniture, with me fretting about the cost. I even try to be subtle and choose the cheaper items, but they see through me. I'm touched at their thoughts, though.
"Hey sweetheart, I'm home! God, I've missed you so-" Edward's welcoming speech stops abruptly when he walks into the living room and realises I'm not home alone. "Uh, hey mum," Edward mutters, seemingly embarrassed.
"Edward, I've missed you too," Rose coos. I roll my eyes at her, as does Edward.
"What are you ladies up to?" Edward asks, ignoring Rose's comment and walking over to me. He leans down and kisses my forehead, before sitting next to me on the sofa.
"We're helping design you a nursery," Alice informs him smiling.
"Oh, while I remember, Ali, Jasper was asking about you," Edward tells her, grinning.
Alice turns unnaturally shy, ducking her head. "He was?" she squeaks out.
"Yeah," Edward nods. "So, show me your plans then?"
I pass him the magazine I'd currently been looking at, pointing out some of the things I'd spotted that I liked. While we talk through the nursery, Edward's hand rests on my stomach and he occasionally places kisses on my cheek or forehead.
When I told him about the babies kicking, a lot of pouting on his behalf took place. They haven't kicked since, but I know Edward's dying to have it happen again. It's been a source of endless bickering between Rose and Edward, since Rose likes to boost that she got to feel the kicking.
"Edward, stop distracting Bella!" Rose reprimands him.
"Where'd your ring go?" Edward whispers in my ear, ignoring Rose. "I'm not distracting her!" Edward quickly protests.
"We haven't actually told them yet," I whisper back, hoping to be conspicuous.
"Haven't told us what?" Esme asks, raising her perfect eyebrow at us.
"Edward?" I turn to him, silently asking him to tell them our news.
Edward quietly whispers for me to put on my ring, so I reach in my pocket and slip it on. A smile graces his face as he turns to three expectant faces, "I proposed, and Bella said yes."
A/N: What do you think their reactions to the proposal will be? :D
Review please, can we reach 900? :)
