Standing in the middle of her room, tears in her eyes, Bella thinks this is the last think she had been expecting when Jensen walked in her room moments earlier, telling her he needed to talk to her, an edge of nervousness in his voice. She can hardly breath, but her heart feels fuller than it has ever been.
Jensen is kneeling in front of her, a beautiful ring in his hand.
-"Bella, I love you and I don't want to wait any longer. We don't know how long this war is going to go on for, and if, God forbid, something happens to me, I want to go into the afterlife married to you. So, Arabella Williams, will you give me the biggest honor I could ever hope for and allow me to become your husband?"
-"Yes, God yes." - Bella wipes the tears away, just as he shots up to his feet and pulls her close, kissing her deeply. After a few moments, he pulls away and looks at her.
-"Please forgive me. I can't give you the big wedding you deserve, since we can't risk your father finding out and make things more complicated than they already are."
-"Jensen, I don't care about a big wedding. All I need is right in front of me. All I need is you. And I want to marry you as soon as we can." - She places a hand on his cheek and smiles.
-"We need to tell Josh, but as soon as we do, I'll speak with the Cardinal."
-"We can talk to your brother in the morning. Right now, I just want to be with you."
Jensen kisses her again, pulling her against him. Bella deepens the kiss, one hand on his chest, the other in his hair, feeling his hands up and down her back. They get lost in the kiss, battling for control, as Jensen leads her to the bed. They spend the rest of the night mapping each other's bodies and losing themselves in each touch and caress.
