--We took the elevator up to the next floor. Emmett pushed me down the hallway and stopped in front of her room. The door was shut, and the blinds were closed. I swallowed and looked up at him.
"I'll go in by myself," I whispered.
"I would never get to hold her. Never get to see her face. Never see Bella with our baby girl" - Edward
-All my best laid plans fell away as I stared into her eyes. I took her face in my hands. “I love you, Bella. I want to be with you always.” I stared deep into her eyes. “Marry me?” my voice trembled a little at the end.-
He pulled a small box with a ribbon from his pocket. I grabbed it and quickly untied the ribbon. I looked at him before I opened it. He was staring at me expectantly. In the box lay a platinum, heart-shaped locket. My breath caught. “Edward, it’s beautiful.” I took it out and held it up so that it shimmered in the light.
“Open it,” he prompted. Inside was a picture of him and me together on one side and an inscription on the other. Love, forever and always.
I started to cry again. “Oh Edward, it’s wonderful. I love it, I love you.” Guilt over my earlier episode filled me. Thank God he hadn’t been there.
He laughed at me before taking my face in between his hands and wiping my tears. “I figured after the baby was born, you could put her picture in there.”
--“Bring me Back to Life” by Evanescence began playing over the speakers. I sang along quietly to the song. I looked at Edward out of the corner of my eye. He was smiling and tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. I sighed relaxing. “I really like the way she uses her voice, almost angelic, with a painful quality to it. It really stands out against the guitar and the harder rock sounds.”--
--I followed after her, laughing even harder when she took her hat off. The snow had all melted and her hair was soaked, water trickling down her forehead. “Edward!” She sounded pissed, so I quit laughing and glanced over at her. She was standing by the door with her hands on her hips, glaring at me. I had never seen anything more tempting.
Growling low again, I stalked over to her. Her hands fell down from her sides and her eyes widened as she looked at me. I pulled her to me, holding her close, and brought my lips down to hers. My tongue darted between her lips, finding hers. Her hands moved up to grasp my hair.--
--Soon the sun began to set. I shivered slightly. Edward brought the other blanket up and around us, encircling us in its warmth. The sun seemed to disappear into the ocean, leaving an orange glow behind--
