We stayed up there until the sunrise and I sighed saying "We should probably go inside now… Lily will be up soon and I'm not sure Alice can contain her excitement any longer" I had tuned into my families thoughts earlier and found out Alice had, had a vision of this before it happened. Of us being together again.

Butterflies fluttered in my stomach at that though.

Edward stood and took both my hands helping me to my feet and we made our way back inside.

We walked holding hands; I had forgotten how good it felt to hold his hand. Mine fit his perfectly like 2 puzzle pieces. I smiled and stopped outside Lily's door. Then realisation hit me and my smile faded.

It wasn't just about me and Edward anymore. It was about Lily. She was the most important thing to me now. I love Edward but I'm a mother first. That has to come before anything else.

Edward lifted my chin gently so my eyes met his and he asked "What are you thinking? You look sad…"

"Edward… this isn't just about us anymore, I have a daughter now and Lily is my main priority, she has to come first…" he put his finger on my lips to stop me continuing and he smiled at me and said "Bella, I love you… and I want to help raise Lily with you if you'll let me-" I didn't give him a chance to finish before I jumped up into his arms and was kissing him again. He was grinning as I pulled back and he asked "So is that a yes then?" I nodded my head.

He let go of all of me, except one hand and we continued walking back down to the living room where I knew Alice was about ready to explode with happiness and excitement.

I felt so nervous as we walked down the stairs towards our families, but it was a good kind of nervous. Edward squeezed my hand reassuringly and I smiled at him.

What I saw when I walked into the living room made my heart soar. My two families seemed to have come together to form one and they were talking and laughing happily. My two families had become one family, Edward seemed to notice this too and smiled my favourite smile pulling me over to a chair and sitting me on his lap.

Slowly everyone seemed to notice we had entered the room and all eyes turned to us.

Travis and Chris spoke at the same time both saying "It's about time." While their thoughts were saying I told you so.

The Cullen's were beaming at us; I would have blushed if I could. Everyone else was smiling too… well everyone, except Lucy. She was glaring at me like usual, only the look of hate and jealousy on her face beat all of her previous glares put together. I decided against the idea I had to set her hair on fire right then, instead I smiled at her sweetly before snuggling closer to Edward and kissing him.

When I looked back at her it took everything I had not to start laughing, if she were a cartoon, steam would be exploding out of her ears ferociously and her face would be crimson with anger.

Caden spoke to me using his thoughts and I turned to face him as he said "just so you know B, if he hurts you again I will kick his ass" I rolled my eyes at him grinning and then laughed at Edwards confused expression.

We all sat there talking like one big family until a familiar voice entered my head telling me what she'd like for breakfast today. I stood up and the look on Edwards face was so cute, he was like a sad puppy. I smiled and said "Lily is awake, she wants toast for breakfast today" he started to ask how I knew but I raised my eyebrows and he remembered my power. I grabbed his hand and pulled him to the kitchen with me.

He sat in a chair watching as I made Lily's breakfast asking a question every so often.

"What was her first word?" I laughed as I remembered before answering "bang"; he raised his eyebrows at that "bang?" I laughed again and explained "Yes, her first word was bang, thanks to her uncle Caden and his obsession with explosives. Aro, Caius and Marcus found it particularly funny when I'd bring here to some of our meetings and she'd say the word bang over and over again giggling" he laughed and then got a sad smile on his face and he whispered "I wish I had been there" I was about to try and tell him its okay when his face brightened up again and he asked "What's her favourite movie?" I was about to answer when the little princess herself walked in smiling as she rubbed sleep from her eyes and she said "Morning Mommy" and came over and hugged my legs. I picked her up and sat her down in the chair next to Edwards then put her breakfast down in front of her. I sat down too, just watching Edward watch her. I could tell he loved her already. When she was finished her breakfast I said to her "Lily, Edward was wondering what your favourite movie is?" he looked embarrassed for a second before curiosity got the best of him and he smiled at Lily. She was grinning as she said with a nod "Ice Age" he said he's never seen it before and asked her what it was about and she started to explain it before getting so excited she just grabbed his hand and dragged him with impressive force out of the kitchen. I laughed at the look of horror on his face and he asked "Lily where are we going." And she said as if it was obvious, without letting go of his hand "We're going to watch Ice Age silly". We both laughed and followed my… no our daughter to the second living room. I sat on the sofa facing the TV and Edward sat down next to me. Lily put on the movie and then jumped up and sat on Edwards's knee happily waiting for the movie to start.

As the movie was starting Alice, Esme, Jade, Evelyn, Nick and Rosalie all came in and sat down to watch the movie with us. Well, Jade, Nick and Evelyn watched the movie. Alice, Esme and even Rosalie, just looked at me, Lily and Edward smiling. Seeing how the three of us looked sitting there together in their thoughts made me smile so much, that if I were still human I'm pretty sure my face would be in agony.

We looked like a proper family. I rested my head on Edwards shoulder and he put his arm around me and Lily.

As the movie started I thought to myself, so this is what it feels like to have your life be perfect…

Over the last month I've been happier than I ever thought possible. The Cullen's spent all their free time at my house, with the exception of Lucy, who Alice tells me spends her time sulking in her room.

Emmett got along really well with Zach and Caden, although that meant a lot more explosions around the house than normal with 3 prank plotting vampires around instead of one.

Jasper was always having discussions or debates with Nick and Josh about subjects that to be perfectly honest, could bore even a history teacher to tears.

Alice and Rosalie were ecstatic that Jade, Jane, Vicky and Evelyn loved to shop as much as they did and had gone on at least 10 unnecessary shopping sprees this month, most of the things they bought were for Lily, when I protested Alice and Rosalie would simply pout and say they had never had a nice before and it was their duty as aunts to spoil her.

Esme loved spending time with Adam, Mia and Lily. Even though Adam and Mia were only children physically she loved to be a mother to them, and they didn't object either.

Carlisle spent his time talking with Aro, Caius, Marcus and Laurent whenever he wasn't at the hospital.

And then there was Edward, who spent almost every waking minute with me and Lily, and considering he's a vampire and doesn't sleep that is a lot of time. I wouldn't have it any other way though, Lily absolutely loved Edward, she makes her mind up about people quickly. He had me show him every photo and home video I had of Lily then asked me to project memories I had of her, like the first time she spoke, when she learned to walk and I loved sharing them with him.

Aro, Caius, Marcus and Jane all went home to Italy yesterday. Although they didn't leave until they made everyone promise to come visit soon.

I loved that my two families had sort of melted into one; I can't believe how lucky I am.

(Edwards POV)

"Alice please just put me out of my misery and tell me" I begged my sister for about the hundredth time today.

She laughed and answered "Nope, my lips are sealed… you'll just have to wait and find out her answer the way all other men in your situation have to"

I scowled at her before I got another idea.

I grinned and walked towards the door but she was in front of me before I could blink "Changed your mind?" I asked but she just rolled her eyes and said "No of course not, I just wanted to tell you that Mia wont tell you Bella's answer either so it will be a wasted journey" I groaned before walking over to the sofa and falling onto it muttering "What is the point in having two future seeing vampires in the family if they wont share what they see" Alice just giggled as she skipped off happily to her room.

(Bella's POV)

I watched out the window as Edwards Volvo pulled up outside. I pulled the front door open before his hand even reached the handle and jumped into his arms. After a few minutes I stopped kissing him and laughed at Cadens voice in my head telling us to get a room.

Edward was smiling my favourite smile and I said happily "Hello you" before pecking him on the lips again "I missed you" I pouted.

He laughed pulling me over to the sofa and sitting me on his lap and said "I was only gone for an hour… but I missed you too" Caden groaned and left the room causing me and Edward to laugh.

"Alice, Rosalie and Esme have stolen Lily for the day so what do you want to do?" I asked.

He seemed amused by that, like he knew something I didn't but he tried to hide it.

I was about to ask what it was but he said "Lets go to our meadow" and I forgot to ask.

He insisted on me carrying me on his back like he used to, even though I ran just as fast as he did now. In fact I could run faster than him but I gave in. I did enjoy it now that I was a vampire and didn't have to be afraid of him hitting trees or getting sick.

When we got there we just lay in the grass looking at the sky, I pointed to a cloud and said "Aww that one looks like a heart" he looked in the direction I pointed and smiled at me saying "You're right it does"…

I giggled at the fact he didn't seem to notice that clouds didn't just form perfect heart shapes, but I decided to play some more and pointed to the sky again and said "Hey! Look now it's a heart with the letter E in it" once again he looked were I pointed and he looked confused for a minute before remembering my powers.

He rolled on top of me and started tickling me for a minute then stopped and looked down into my eyes.

I'm sure I had a goofy smile on my face but I didn't care. He kissed me then stood up. I pouted that he'd gotten up. He laughed and held out his hands for me to get up too.

When I stood up he said looking extremely nervous "There is something I wanted to ask you…" I raised my eyebrow suspiciously at him then waited for him to continue.

He took a deep breath and I swear I would have passed out from shock if it were possible at what he did next.

He pulled a small box out of his pocket and got down on one knee then looked up at me and said "Bella will you marry me?"

I'm positive I was doing a damn good impression of a gold fish as I tried to talk but no sound would come out of my mouth so my mouth just kept opening and closing over and over again. He looked so nervous and worried after a few minutes of this but my brain just wouldn't do as it was told and make the words come out of my mouth.

So I did the first thing I could think of and then pointed to the sky…

(Edwards POV)

"Bella will you marry me?" I asked.

She was speechless and I couldn't tell whether that was a good or a bad thing yet. I was starting to worry even more as she kept opening and closing her mouth as if trying to talk.

A few minutes passed, every second of it was like torture.

Then she pointed to the sky, I was confused at first then looked up. There in the sky was my answer. She had used her powers to spell out the word yes in the clouds. My eyes snapped back to her, she was smiling now I just picked her up and spun her round kissing her.

It felt like my heart was going to burst with happiness.

(Bella's POV)

You could hit me with a nuclear bomb right now and I still wouldn't be able to stop smiling. I used to think marriage wasn't for me but over the last three years I realised that, I only really thought that because of Renee and Charlie.

I worried what they would think and what other people would think if I got married young and I was scared that if I got married it wouldn't last, like with my parents.

Edward stopped spinning me and put me back on my feet then opened the box that he was still holding.

He slid the ring on my finger and I smiled happily at him speaking for the first time in what felt like forever, when in fact it was only minutes. "I love you" I said.

I've never seen him look so happy as he said "I love you too" and he kissed me again.

When we broke apart I smiled at him at said "Lets go tell Lily before Alice gets there first" and I started walking towards the edge of the meadow, he caught up with me slipping his arms around my waist and whispered in me ear "let me carry you again"

I turned to face him before grinning evilly and said "Not a chance… I'll race you!" I had started running before he could protest; I let him catch up with me and glanced at him. He was laughing. Then I went faster reaching the house a few minutes before him.

I was sitting on the couch pretending to read a magazine when he came though the door and I looked up saying "what took you so long?" he laughed and sat down next to me pulling me closer to him.

We sat there and waited until Alice, Rosalie and Esme brought Lily home. Alice was practically bouncing on the spot about to burst with excitement when she came through the door. Of course she had already seen this. I rolled my eyes at her and scooped Lily up saying to her "Sweetie, Mommy and Edward want to talk to you about something" she nodded her head smiling.

I carried her to the other living room and Edward followed we all sat down and Edward looked at me and I nodded for him to start.

(Edwards POV)

This made me almost as nervous as asking Bella. If Lily wasn't happy about us getting married then we wouldn't go through with it… I looked to Bella and she nodded for me to begin.

I took a deep breath and said "Lily, what would you think if your Mommy and I got married?" she looked at me then at Bella, then she paused as if considering it. I almost sighed in relief as her face broke into a huge smile and she said with a nod "I'd like that lots!" Bella was grinning at me happily and I knew my expression was mirroring hers.

Then Lily's smile faded and she stared into space as if she was concentrating really hard on something. I was worried she'd changed her mind and Bella obviously was too as she said "Lily sweetie what's wrong?"

Lily looked at me and said "Do I call you Daddy now or Edward?" I almost laughed as relief washed over my entire body; Bella did laugh then looked at me waiting for my answer. I didn't want Lily to do anything she didn't want to do so I said "You can call me whichever one you want" her eyes sparkled as she said "Okay".

She hopped off of Bella's knee and asked excitedly "Can I go tell Auntie Ally and auntie Rosey?" I looked at Bella and then we both looked back to Lily and nodded and she raced happily out of the room.

We walked after her and when we got to the living room the whole family was sitting there and Lily said "Mommy and Daddy are getting married"

It felt like my dead heart jumped excitedly as she said the words.
