hey guys...there are no excuses for my absence so I'm just going to shutup and let you read my next chapter...finally.

Chapter 2: yes(because we all knew she would say yes)

"Bella, I love you and i want to marry you," he said as he pulled out the red satin box and carefully opened it, revealing the stunning ring that was inside it.

I waited, but he didn't say anything else. I started to worry, had he changed his mind last minute?

I could wait no longer. "Edward," I said, "Isn't there something you need to ask before i can say anything?"

He looked confused for a second and then quickly recovered his expression. "Oh...right...of course," he said hastily. He took a deep breath, "Will you marry me?"

"Yes of course i will."

He picked me up and kissed me as he ran us to his house. A few seconds later, I was greeted by Alice who slammed into me with a force that almost knocked me to the ground.

"YAY!" she screamed. My head was spinning much to rapidly to acknowledge this and I held my hand to my head which caused a worried look from Edward.

"I'm fine," I assured him. One of my smiles flashed across his face. It made me happy to see him so full of joy and for a second i wanted to cry at the impossibility of such a moment. Just a few months ago both of us had been so overcome with grief and misery we could hardly bear it. Now we had finally found each other again and the light was back in both of our eyes, happiness danced across our faces. Nothing could bring us down.

The rest of the family had joined Alice outside. Carlisle and Esme both hugged me and whispered in my ear their elation of me coming into their family. Again, I felt the wanting of the tears that would not come from the sincerity of their declaration.

Next was Emmett, who grabbed me in a huge hug and squeezed the air out of my lungs. Oh well, it wasn't like I needed that air anyway.

Rosalie and Jasper were more timid about their congratulations. Rosalie hugged me lightly and Jasper shook my hand.

I was ecstatic, and undeniably happy that Edward had finally proposed. It was as if all the pain in the past had suddenly disappeared and i had finally reached the place I was supposed to be from the very beginning.

Alice had to have wedding planning rights of course. She was almost as happy as I was but much more hyper of course, she was practically bouncing off the walls. She already knew where and when the event was taking place, thanks to her visions of course. Everything was falling into just the right place. We would be married soon but my family and i were forgetting something vital to our survival in our time of celebration. Something or someone that could undoubtedly kill us all.
