"May I ask? What happens to us when we do die? Are we vampires excepted?" Grandma Elizabeth spoke.

"Yes Carlisle. Pure, kind, and good hearted vampires are permitted into the after life when it's their time. When and if you die someday, you all will be happily accepted with open arms. We love you. It was nice to see you while it lasted. Good bye our son." With that, the light came and his parents were gone, leaving our mother here. Quickly, without delay, Edward ran our mother to a room with Carlisle, told her what he was going to do. She happily accepted and with that started the transformation for my mother to begin her second chance.

Being able to hug Bella, when at first, she had been deceased for nearly three years... it made me want to cry. If I could cry, I would. It was amazing, being able to hold her before I had bitten her. Biting her and changing her to us was the only way she would be able to stay, so it was an opinion that I accepted fully. Bella did too, actually, everyone did. The change for her was indeed painful, but at least she was here and happy.

After a couple days of the children being alone with her, I took Bella to our meadow. It was a nostalgic feeling, being back here, with the only woman I love, and have ever loved in all of my years. Once we sat down together and took in the shine of one another's skin, we immediately latched onto one another, holding each other as our lips moved together in an elegant dance. The pang of happiness in my unbeating, but very alive heart made this even more passionate. I had spent so many years without her, I needed her, I would never leave her. Ever!

Pulling away for a moment, I smiled at her. "Oh Bella, I've missed you so much!" I exclaimed to her, laying her down on the grass beneath me, her hair spreading like a fan around her as I leaned down to kiss her again. She was so beautiful. "I missed you so much." My voice turned into a sobbing mess, not like me, but my true inner emotions were showing once again. "I will never leave again. I was so foolish. If I would have stayed, I could have helped with our children, I could have saved you, I could have done so much... I'm so ashamed and nothing can fix that, but I am so glad to have you and our children. I'm so-"

Bella pressed her lips against mine, silencing my guilted pleads. Her lips moved against my like honey, her kisses sweet as cinnamon sugar, just like I remembered. Only difference now was that I didn't have the blood lust for her anymore, now it was true love and lust for the woman I love. She moved her arms and wrapped them around my neck, moving her lips to my neck, giving my neck kisses, sucking the skin there, and nipping at the skin there. The sensations were making me shake and I stopped her, hugging her to me, kissing her cheek. "I love you so much Edward. I don't blame you for anything. You didn't know I would have gotten cancer, that I could have possibly died early, and there was no way you knew I was pregnant. You were trying to do what you thought was best for me. Even though I appreciate that, from now on, let's decide on things together?" I nodded and kissed her forehead.

"I promise my love, from now on, I will be here and always take what you say seriously about us. I wouldn't ever want to lose you again." Bella nodded and nudged my neck passionately as she placed a kiss on my neck. I was then suddenly reminded of the engagement ring I had in my pocket. I was reminded of the most important hand-me-downs by Alice the other day and I knew that I wanted Bella as my wife, just as much as she wanted me as her husband. "Bella..." I said, sitting up, bringing her with me. "I... I've been thinking about this and I realized that I wanted to do this sooner than later, please, Bella Marie Swan, would you make me the happiest man in all of the world and marry me?" Bella gasped happily and she smiled at me, leaning forwards and kissing me softly.

"I would love to Edward." I let out a breath of relief and showed her the ring as I slipped it onto her finger. Once it was there, I pulled her to me, hugging her close. I smiled at her again.

"I have another question for you Bella." She looked at me, smiling as she nodded, prompting me to continue. "Well, when you want to, would you want to have more children with me? So that this time I can be with them from the very beginning?" Bella smiled and nodded.

"Of course. I would love to do that. It would be great to see you holding our baby in your arms after birth."
