Katherine's POV

I woke up to find myself on top of Edward, his fingers stroking my hair. "Good morning, love," he whispered, smiling down at me.

I smiled back and went back to sleep, I was still drowsy. Hm, I dreamed something strange last night.

I dreamed that Edward proposed to me. And Emmett made this strange mixture using blood and chocolate.

Of course, I wish it wasn't a dream. Thank God in Dreamland I said yes when he proposed. Strange, I could even remember the ring in detail.

I heard Edward give a small laugh. Taking no notice of it, I reached up my hand to brush away a strand of hair that was tickling me.

Something hard and cold touched my face. I glanced down at me hand, to see a ring.

A ring on the fourth finger of my left hand. Wait a second...

I sat up. Edward let out another laugh. "No sweetheart, it wasn't a dream." He pushed the hair that had fallen in my face behind my ear.

"Really?"

Edward just gave me an amused smile. I felt like an idiot. What girl forgets she's engaged?

"You do, and you're still perfect," murmured Edward, leaning down and kissing me gently.

I kissed him back, giving a small moan as he sucked on my lower lip.

Tangling my fingers in his bronze hair, I sunk myself into the kiss, thinking of nothing but him. His fingers raced up and down my back, making my skin feel tingly through the thin nightgown I wore. Edward's hands went to my neck, tracing up and down, then running it across my jawline.

But then I remembered I had something to do. Something important. Reluctantly, I pulled away.

"What's wrong?" he whispered, kissing my jaw.

Sadly, I pulled away farther from him. "I have to tell the pack," I whispered.

"Don't worry, they'll be fine with it," he told me, holding my cheek. "I know Seth will."

Of course Seth would be okay with it. He particularly liked the Cullens because Alice gave him a ton of shorts.

And because of Esme's, Edward's and sometimes Emmett's cooking.

"It's not Seth I'm worried about. It's the other 's' in the pack."

Edward's face hardened the slightest bit. "Sam would come around with time."

"Time," I mumbled.

"Hey, we're both vampires, we have all the time we need to wait for him," said Edward, cracking the smallest smile. "And didn't he accept you?"

"He did, it's just that it was hard enough for him to take in the fact I'm a vampire, can you imagine him finding out I'm engaged to one and going to living with them?" I asked, nibbling my lip.

"Well, you've practically been living with us so that's one thing to scratch off your list."

I gave him a wry face. "I'm going to go get ready now, and as soon as I eat, I'll go see them."

Edward gave a pained groan. "Calm yourself, because I won't be back until tomorrow." I told him.

He sat straight up. "What?!"

I began shifting through my clothes. "I imagine Emily and Leah would want to hear the entire story, like the other girls did, and they will insist, considering I won't be with them for some time. So I would spend the night there."

He groaned again. "Relax Mr. Cullen, you've been alive for years, you should have nothing but patience."

Edward suddenly appeared in front of me. "As a matter of fact, I have a lot of patience. I put up with you, didn't I, Mrs. Cullen?" 

He smirked then was suddenly out of the room, managing to lock the door as he went. Grinning, I shook my head and went into the shower.

Mrs. Cullen. It made me sound so old, and I was so young! I wondered what Jessica would say...

Jessica...school... OH NO! Carlisle, being Carlisle, managed to get the principal to allow me to be away from school that long.

And here I was, thinking it was still holidays. I would have to go back to school, although there wasn't much to do. Well, there wouldn't a lot of learning. Only revising, and endless study halls.

Our final exams would be coming up. I stuck my head out of the shower and glanced at the calender that hung on the wall.

Final exams were next week. Today was Thursday. There was no way I could cover all that work.

I sighed. Maybe Carlisle could work his magic. I stepped out, put on some clothes and went downstairs to ask him about it.

"Carlisle, about school--" I started, but he cut me off.

"Don't worry about it Kat. We could teach you everything you need to know. Just ask. And, according to your principal and everyone else at your school, the Cullens pulled you out to be homeschooled."

"But what about the new things they taught this term? I wasn't there at all!"

"They wouldn't have taught anythign new, only revision on the other things they did in the past." he replied calmy.

"How do you know all of this?" I asked, cocking my head to the side.

"I have childeren who went to different high schools all the time for the past seventy-five years, and the same thing was done at each. How I not know?"

I gave a sigh of relief. "Thanks Carlisle. How do you do these things so easily? And where are you when I'm in detention and want to leave early?"

He chuckled, and handed me a plate of scrambled eggs and bacon. Dang, that smelled good.

I ate quickly, then grabbed my bag of toiletries, told Esme the plan and went up to see Edward before I left.

He kissed me goodbye as quick as he could, because I knew I wanted to be off soon.

The Alice, Jasper and Rosalie were out hunting and Emmett was... Well I don't know where Emmett is. But I didn't worry too much.

I slung my bag over my shoulder and ran outside, but Emmett dashed out and stopped me.

"Kat, do me a favour and give this to Seth."

He shoved a piece of paper in my hand. Oh, so there he is.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Top secret stuff. DO NOT READ IT. Promise me you won't?" He stuck out a pinky.

I groaned and promised. Emmett grinned, knowing that I won't read it because I swore.

Pushing it in my pocket, I ran in the forest, taking a shortcut to the pack's house. I slowed down after a while, it seemed like a waste just rushing past all the scenery like this.

I heard footsteps behind me. "Hello Katherine."

I spun around. I got a little scared all of a sudden. But I wasn't going to let her get to me. Well, I wasn't going to let her see that she got to me. I made my voice neutral.

"Bella."
