Okay, I get this is kind of a closure for this story :))

I'll be writing an Epilogue for it, so just wait a bit~~

Edward let out a defeated sigh, "Marie, sweetie, I think that Aunt Alice was looking for you…"

"Okay! I'll be right back to go to sleep!" and she ran off to find Alice, leaving Edward and I alone.

After a few moments of nothing, I decided to break the silence, "So…?"

Edward sighed again, "This isn't really how I planned to do this…" he paused for a moment.

To do what? Did he want to break up with me? What about Marie? I instantly regretted telling him that I loved him. I had ruined Marie's future. If only I had kept my mouth shut, Edward and I would still be fine and Marie wouldn't have to go back to the orphanage…

"Look, Edward, I know that I screwed things up between us, but please… think of Marie… I know that she wouldn't be happy if either of us weren't in her lives. I'll take what I said back, I'll do anything, just don't ruin this… not for her."

Edward furrowed his eyebrows, "What? That's not what I was going to say."

What? Then what was it? I thought to myself.

"Well, this might sound a bit strange and all now but…"

Oh my… what was he doing…?

"Isabella Swan, will you marry me?" Edward had gotten down on one knee and pulled out a little velvet box from his pocket.

"W-what…?" Now I was the confused one. How did he go from being angry at me, to begging me to talk to him, to proposing to me all in one night?

"I know that this probably sounds really crazy to you right now, especially given the night that we've been having, and I also know that this isn't exactly the most romantic way to do this, but… it was the only thing I could think of to get you to shut up about taking was you said back." He gave me a small worried smile.

"T-the ring…"

"I got it before we came here. I wasn't going to get one so soon, but when I saw this one on my way home from work, I kind of knew that I had to get it for you…" He answered my question before I could even finish saying it. "So… I answered your question, are you going to answer mine?" He fidgeted nervously.

"But… you- I… Why didn't you say anything when I told you that I… that I loved you?"

"Umm… well, earlier today, remember when I got angry at you?" I nodded my head. "Well… when you told me that you loved me, I thought that maybe.. I kind of forced you to say it?"

"Edward. No one can force me to say that to them…" my lips suddenly formed into a playful smile, "but… if you don't have anything to say to me, then I guess I don't have an answer to your question…"

Edward ran over to me, pulling me towards him and kissing me passionately. "I love you Isabella Swan." He stopped to kiss me again before continuing, "and I've known that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you ever since the first time I saw you with Marie."

"Yes…" I whispered, not even loud enough for myself to hear.

Edward stopped was he was doing and looked me straight in the eye. "Was that my imagination? Or did Isabella Swan actually just say yes to being my wife?"

I smiled at him, "Yes" I said again, this time more confidently than the last.

"I love you, Bella." I saw Edward's eyes twinkle as the words left his lips.

"I love you too, Edward."
