Ch 1 Warm Welcoming

Edward's POV

"Hello, wake the fuck up, man!" Emmett said grunting as he put his luggage into the car. I blinked rapidly getting out of my daydreams and helped him fit his around Rose's five suitcases. And that was just in one car.

Classes were over for us. We had finished every task right on time and we were now free to go without the worry or endangerment of summer classes. Now it was just time to head back to Forks. I had hoped to be lazy all summer with Bella and the guys, but my sister already threatened my life if I stole Bella from her. She complained she needed her to continue planning her wedding and I remembered I groaned knowing very well she would kidnap her.

I already forewarned Esme and Carlisle and they just laughed knowing the demon they created nineteen years ago. They were eager to see us again and have us back in their home, especially now that we're all partnered up. We closed the trunk and Emmett patted it, releasing a breath. "Alice and Rose need their own cars just for their luggage."

"I like to look good and that involves many different articles of clothing." She responded walking up from behind him with a raised eyebrow. He took her in his arms and hugged her tightly from around the waist. "You look good in everything, baby." He murmured and Jasper and I laughed at his sappiness. "Even with nothing," he winked. He had to ruin it. Jasper and I grimaced distastefully as Rosalie giggled, kissing him.

"I call not taking them." I volunteered and Jasper whined. "C'mon, Edward, don't leave me with them they'll end up fucking in the back seat!"

"They'll do the same thing to me!"

"That's not your cousin though!" He argued. He had a point, but I still didn't want any freaky things happening while I was in the car—hell I didn't want freaky things happening in my car period! Unless it was with Bella of course, they could do whatever they wanted in any other car. Alice and Bella walked up with sunglasses on their faces. "Settle down, children." Alice said softly, dipping her sunglasses to peek at us from above them.

"Tell Jasper that you're taking Em and Rose." I said at the same time he said,

"Tell Edward that Emmett and Rosalie are going with you." Bella and Alice turned to each other, sighing and shaking their heads. "Really?" Alice asked and we nodded. She didn't understand. They hadn't walked in on them while they were midway undressing themselves, or heard their incredibly loud noises. Jesus Christ, it's like they yelled out of a megaphone.

"Flip a quarter." Bella suggested, shrugging her thin shoulders. Jasper was already two steps ahead of them.

"I call heads." He said and I glared at him.

"Tails," "That is the only other choice left." He muttered sarcastically. "Shut up and flip it!" He flipped it in the air and I crossed my fingers hoping it'd land on tails so I'd win. He caught it and slapped against the back of his hand with a smirk while Alice sighed pushing her sunglasses up the bridge of her nose. "I'll go get the car ready." She murmured. Jasper freed his hand, looking down with a smirk when it suddenly faded, a look of horror spreading on his face. Yes!

"They're your load!" I said beaming while he looked sullen, shocked at the results.

"You guys are such children, there's no way you're twenty." Bella murmured rolling her eyes and walking in the direction of my Volvo. Hey, I liked to act like a child sometimes! Jasper sighed but invited Rose and Emmett to ride with them just like we had agreed. I got into the car feeling the brightness of the sun glare off the hood of my car in a great day.

"Are you ready to go?" I asked Bella and she nodded her face light. She had been all smiles lately and I couldn't be gladder then to see her beautiful smile spread on her face at all times. I entwined our fingers together that was resting by the gear shift and brought it up to my lips, placing a small, meaningful kiss there. I pulled out of my parking spot for the past months and drove smoothly down the road, leaving Seattle behind—for now.

The phone rang and it was Emmett already complaining that he was hungry and it's only been an hour into the trip. "We told you to have a heavy breakfast!"

"I'm not a fan of breakfast!" he answered and I heard both Rose and Alice telling him to shut up on the other side of the phone. "Sheesh, woman hostility in this car,"

Bella giggled into her hand. "We'll stop by soon, Em. Just hold on." I told him hanging up and continuing to drive.

We had somehow made it three hours into the travel without Emmett complaining again, I think he found something he probably stuffed in his bag to eat. We finally entered Forks, the sun shining unusually but complimenting the small town. Jasper made a swift turn going towards Rose's house and I continued straight towards Bella's. I promised I'd take her first so she could see her father. I knew she missed him a lot.

When we pulled up, the door opened right on time revealing Charlie and the tanned best friend that my girlfriend kept around. Jacob and I weren't the friendliest people around, he didn't like it when Bella cried over me when we broke up and he certainly didn't like it that she went out with a man who's had sex with so many people he lost count—I don't blame him on that one. He'd heard stories but then again, who honestly didn't—at least my age.

Bella's excitement couldn't be contained as she unbuckled her seatbelt and sprang from her seat, throwing my door open and sprinting out the door towards the two men. Charlie hugged her, messing her hair in their awkward relationship and Jacob took her in his arms, squeezing her. I stood behind her, shaking hands with Charlie first then nodding towards Jacob.

"Edward, boy, nice to see you," Charlie patted my shoulder and Bella smiled.

"It's great to see you too, Charlie."

"Cullen's back!" Jacob said with one bark of a laugh and I rolled my eyes. "Yes."

"Well," He looked down at Bella in his arms and smiled. "Welcome back!" They had a good friendship and that's why it didn't bother me as much as it did in the beginning that they were basically, family.

"Thanks." She whispered and I jogged back down to take out her luggage for her, placing it on the front steps in front of Charlie. "Thank you."

"I'm going to go greet my parents before they skin me alive." I sighed jokingly and Bella laughed. "Tell them I'll be over tomorrow first thing in the morning to greet them." I smiled. "And only to see them," She teased them and I frowned.

"Yeah, yeah," I bent down and kissed her full pink lips and walked back to my car riding back to my house. The front door was open and I imagined that Alice had raced inside, forgetting the world.

I walked in and heard quite girl murmurings and a male chuckle. I walked over to see Alice and Esme holding hands, gossiping away while Carlisle looked at them with humor and love in his eyes. Jasper must've gone home to see his mom after dropping off Rose and Em. "Edward!" Esme greeted running over to me and cradling my face in between her palms. I smiled like a small boy that was glad to see his mother and kissed her forehead.

"How are you, mom?"

"I'm great, darling. How are you? How was your trip?" She craned her neck standing on the tips of her toes to look out of the door. "Where's Bella?"

I chuckled at her curiosity, patting her shoulder lightly. "I'm great mom, our trip was the usual." I shrugged. "And Bella's at home with Charlie. She told me to tell you that tomorrow she'll be here bright and early to spend time with you." My voice basically turned into a groan and Esme knew why.

"Wonderful! I can't wait to hear how her trip was."

"I just told you!" She waved me in dismissal ignoring me and I couldn't help but laugh.

"It's a woman thing." Carlisle whispered walking closer to me and I nodded. My mom and sister could get into their own small world. Carlisle hugged me, welcoming me back home offering to help me bring my luggage up.

After a long shower I dried my hair and walked down in my pajama pants—knowing I wouldn't go out tonight and would probably fall asleep early—and smelled Esme's homemade food and apple pie. My mouth watered at the aroma and I dashed into the kitchen as she placed a plate in front of Alice's twinkling face, her eyes bouncing up and down and she pointed to my place that was already set.

Alice dug in, licking her lips and thanking Esme repeatedly for the deliciousness. I tried the pie first, skipping straight to dessert and moaned at the taste. Homemade fucking pie has to be the best thing I've tasted. God, did I miss my mom's cooking… The pie was gone within the next thirty seconds and Alice leaned over and wiped some apple sauce off my face. "Don't be a slob." She scolded being overly mannered as always. I rolled my eyes. I couldn't help it; I was rendered vulnerable when Esme or Bella's cooking was involved. It's like two cooking angels.

My phone vibrated against the hard island top. I turned it around and saw Bella had sent me a text message.

'Hi babe,

Tell your parents I said hello and that I miss them. I'm cooking for Charlie, Jake and Billy tonight. I love you.

Bella'

An involuntary smile spread across my lips at the 'I love you' part just because I loved hearing it—well in this case, seeing it. "He's got a message from Bella." I heard Alice's small voice bringing me back into reality.

"How do you know?"

She pointed to me with an expectant face. "Look at that smile. It's the goofiest thing I've ever seen on his face!" She explained but not even her comments made it go away. "Only Bella can make him smile like that."

Esme sighed and leaned against the island on her elbows, a peaceful expression on her face and her eyes looking lost and dazed. "Finally," she murmured.

"Aw, my big brother's a sappy mush now." Alice cooed to me like a child, pursing her lips and the whole deal. I quickly responded my answer to her and continued my meal paying no mind to my sister's continuous mocking's towards me.

I gave Esme a kiss on the cheek and walked up to my room getting a phone call from Emmett.

"Edward, can I come over?" His voice was strained and filled with anger and his breathing was heavy. What the hell?

"What's wrong, Em?"

"I need to get out of my fucking house." He sounded furious and it had to be something to truly upset him if he's leaving literally an hour after he arrived.

"Of course, man. You don't even have to ask."

"Thanks." He hung up. He arrived twenty minutes later, beating the usual time by ten minutes meaning he must've raced here. When I opened the door, his face was contorted into fury—his nostrils flared and his eyes solid, his mouth forming a tight line.

"What the fuck, bro?" I asked.

"Language!" I heard Esme scold from the kitchen where she and Alice chatted away on the last few months of college life. He huffed angrily, shutting the door and rubbed his fingers roughly against his eyes.

"Come upstairs." We walked to my room and he immediately made himself comfortable, shaking his leg with incredible speed. "Why did you leave your house?"

"My fucking mother," he sneered.

"Did you fight again?"

He shook his head, barking a laugh. "I wish it would've just been a fight. I walked in on her, Edward." He said softly, his voice turning into barely a whisper.

"Excuse me?" When he said 'walk in on her' my mind started floating into a different direction. He nodded once, confirming my tainted thoughts.

"I walk in and fucking walk in on her with a new random guy. The house was trashed Edward. Trashed. There were beer bottles everywhere with random cigarette buds on the carpet." I felt horrible for Emmett. He was the good kid out of his 'family' so to speak. His father left him many years ago and he and his mother fight on a daily basis over the smallest things. Recently, over the last year or so she's taken her chance to go out and drink, basically acting like a twenty year old even though she was nearly fifty. "And then she gets mad at me!" He emphasized his face holding disbelief. "She blamed me for coming home too early and interrupting her." His face softened. "I didn't even get a hello…I haven't gotten a proper hello in a long time…" I sighed and patted his back.

"I'm sorry, Em. I don't know why she's like that."

"She's miserable ever since my father left and apparently married some younger woman, now she thinks it's attractive to whore herself around."

"Em—" Both Jasper and I have always tried to control Emmett's comments about his father or his mother just reminding him not to get too carried away.

"I'm not calling her a whore, I wouldn't do that." He stated. "But she's going out and just having sex like a twenty year old in the sixties!" He threw his hands in the air, his face looking both pained and stressed. "I wish she would just act like my mother sometimes, not like how me and you did."

"Did you tell Rose?"

He shook his head, shutting his eyes. "I would've liked to go to her house but she's having a welcome back dinner with her parents and some relatives from her mother's side. I didn't want to ruin her night. I'll let her know afterwards."

"You know, if you need a place to stay you can always stay here." He gave me a grim smile.

"Thanks, man. I'd really appreciate it if I could just spend the night here." I patted his back with a grin.

"You don't even have to ask." The rest of the night went by and he talked with Esme, Carlisle and Alice, forgetting about his issue earlier and his anger. Esme kept asking him about Rose and his face would just light up every time he had to say her name or talk about her.

Alice would 'aw' dreamily and smiled, encouraging him to keep going. We then walked back up to my room and he turned to see that the canes were missing as well as one of the vases in my room. "I had an incident. Esme didn't think I should have them anymore." I got a hell of a reprimanding after the incident was over for breaking stuff in my room out of anger and a good ear yanking from Esme for drinking alcohol to 'drown out' my problems and feel better. It's safe to say she also yelled at Carlisle and he has kept the bottle on lock down and removed all the canes from my room.

He chuckled. "Strict Esme is the funniest." I rolled my eyes because he always did enjoy seeing me get in trouble when he was over during high school. "Yeah, yeah,"

"Your phone's ringing." I picked it up and Bella's voice flooded through softly.

"Hi Edward," she greeted happily and I smiled involuntarily.

"Hi baby, how are you?"

"Good, taking a break from cooking."

"What'd you make?"

"I don't even know, but it was meat and I just mixed a whole bunch of things together. At least they loved it." She mumbled the last part and I laughed.

"I'm with Emmett."

"Already?"

"Yeah," Em looked over and held out his hand for the phone. "He wants to talk to you."

"Put him on." I passed him the phone and he was grinning.

"Hey, Bells." I couldn't hear what was going on in the other side, just barely-there mumbles. "I missed your boyfriend so much. I just couldn't stay away!" He joked, his face free. "He's my boyfriend first, so ha, ha. No you cannot have Rosie." He frowned, pursing his lip. "No she's not your girlfriend! Oh I hate you little girl." He narrowed his eyes at nothing and I started laughing. "Yeah yeah. No, a lesbian affair would not be acceptable in our books…Unless we can watch…" I heard a loud girlish laughter coming from the phone and my eyes were wide. What type of conversations do these two have? "Right, Edward?"

"He's in trouble if he says the wrong answer!" I heard her say over the phone through her laughter so I decided to plea the fifth.

"That's your conversation with her." I replied.

"Well then that's my rule. I'll put Eddie back on because he's about to die from the five minute lack of communication from you. See you tomorrow, Bella."

He passed me the phone and still heard the small laughter from the other side, although it was subsiding. "So a lesbian affair, huh?" I tested with a raised eyebrow and she caught her breath. "I think it'd be pretty hot with Rose, don't you think?" Yes. I mean no. I am mature. "I'm kidding baby, completely. There is or will be no lesbian affair with Rose."

"Well you just crushed Emmett's dream." She giggled.

"It was fun to just mock him."

"I can bet. He looked to have a mix of emotions on his face." I chuckled talking to Bella until her dad called her down.

Em had called Rose later on that night and she wanted to come and comfort him. She had met his mother before just once by complete accident before they started going out, but his mother ignored her. Emmett has yet to officially present her to her as his girlfriend.

After a full talk with Rosalie he seemed to be visibly calmer and back to his old goofy self without a problem. I knocked out after a long day of driving, around midnight but I still heard Emmett up and about in my room, so I tuned him out like a bad song on a peaceful day.

Bella's POV

"I'm off, dad!" I waved over my shoulder as he sipped on his orange juice with his police reports in front of him. He waved back, nodding. "Bye, Bells."

I got into my truck and rode over to pick Rose up after she called me and asked me if I was going over to Alice's today. Her dad wanted to take her convertible to the shop because the breaks weren't working correctly. When I arrived she was already waiting outside in a pair of jeans and strapless shirt with her hair curled to perfection. She ran over and jumped in, kissing my cheek. "Thanks Bells, I thought I was going to be home all day." She rolled her eyes while I laughed.

"It's no problem, Rose." I looked at the time and it said ten forty five. By the time we get to Edward's especially in my truck it'll be almost eleven fifteen—that should give them enough time to be up and ready.

Rose and I talked the entire car ride about plans for the summer and I was getting really excited. I pulled up into their driveway seeing Emmett's jeep parked in the shade away from the sun. We hopped out and rang the doorbell glad when Carlisle opened the door.

"Hello girls," he greeted kindly with a smile on his face. We both kissed his cheek.

"Hi Carlisle," Esme walked behind him wiping her hands with a towel, a smile on her face.

"Bella, Rose!" She greeted taking us in her arms.

"Esme, how are you we've missed you." Rose said and Esme pulled back.

"Good, dears, very good; I'm glad you stopped by today."

"I would've stopped by yesterday but I was with my dad…" I murmured embarrassed and she smiled, shaking her head.

"Of course, dear, we understand. Edward let us know as well."

"Speaking of which, where are the two boys?" Rose asked looking around to see if the boys were here to come up empty handed. "Rose!" We heard Emmett's deep voice call from the stairs, a blinding look of happiness on his face. Rose smiled instantly and he raced down the stairs and I thought he was going to trip and fall over his own two feet. No, that's just me.

He hugged Rose and crushed her near his chest. I heard a cranky feminine voice and I looked up to see Alice standing at the top of the stairs, her hair was all over the place and her face was paler than usual with huge bags under her eyes. Her eyelids were barely open and her mouth seemed to be set in a permanent scowl. Talk about a bad morning.

"Uh…"

"Don't." She raised a hand. "This idiot kept me up all night, literally all goddamn night." She sneered. "I watched the stupid ass sun come up!"

"Why?"

"Because sleeping fucking beauty fell asleep on him and he couldn't sleep so he came and bothered me."

"Alice!" Carlisle and Esme scolded roughly and she muttered a meaningless apology. She was cranky—no, that's not even the word; she's going to be unbearable today. Poor Jasper when comes over, maybe they'll take a nap and she will sober up on her perky mood.

"He's still sleeping too! I haven't gotten a damn minute of sleep and he's knocked out still. Oh my fuc—"

"Alice Mary Cullen, if you don't stop we'll have some serious issues." Carlisle said sternly and Alice sighed apologizing again, this time it having more meaning. How is he still sleeping? I excused myself with Esme's permission and rushed up the stairs slowly opening the door to his room. There he lied, flat on his belly, the covers a mess around him, tangled on his body, his arms on the side of his face with slight snoring being heard throughout the room.

From my position you could only see the back of his head on the ginormous pillow with his bronze hair and his back muscles defined nicely—he's sleeping shirtless, yes! I ogled his form a little bit longer before I ran up to his bed and pounced on him.

"Whoa—" He turned roughly so that now I was on the side of him instead of on top and he almost slipped off the side of the bed. His eyes were wild until they settled on me.

"Hi baby," I said with a cheesy smile.

"Bella," He rasped in his tired voice, which might I add was absolutely sexy and an immediate turn on.

"Sorry, I scared you but you need to get up. It's almost eleven thirty in the morning." He groaned and turned his face away from me nuzzling into the pillow again. My mouth dropped as I gaped at his laziness. "Wake up, wake up." I sang with my horrid voice and I had to remind myself I could never audition for American Idol. I heard his muffled laugh but other than that he didn't move. Nothing I did was waking him up. I crossed my arms frustrated before I giggled.

I dropped my hand on the top of his bare back where his shoulder blades were—he made no movement—and traced my fingers down the defined lines of his muscles. Ever so lightly that my fingers were barely there, I lowered them just a fraction of an inch and he stilled. His breathing even stopped. I lowered my fingers even lower and leaned down to his ear. "Wake up," I whispered softly and he grumbled but before I knew it I was underneath him and he was on top, pinning me.

"You can't tease me like that." He groaned. Success, I can seduce him! He crashed his lips onto mine and I responded immediately, feeling all my insides warm up. I closed my legs as if that would help the desire stop, so I just turned my face.

"Stop, your parents are downstairs." He skimmed his nose down my neck onto my collarbone, kissing it three times applying a little more pressure onto my wrists as our breathing became heavier. "Edward." My voice sounded like a half moan half strangle and I felt him chuckle by my collarbone.

"I love hearing my name coming out of your mouth, Isabella." I bit my lip. Who knew my full name would sound so good at a time like this. He slightly bit my collar bone without any pressure so he wouldn't leave any marks and sat up with a smirk on his face. I sat next to him trying to regulate my heart thudding against my chest. He sat there so poised with humor on his face while I felt like a hormonal crazed teenager—which I kind of was. That's what years of practice have done, he's perfected these reactions, my mind susurrated and I inwardly grimaced. It was right in a sense, but I didn't want to think of that.

The door opened and in walked Ms. Cranky with a cloud of anger around her ready to lash out at anyone if they did something she didn't like. "Get dressed and come downstairs. We have everyone over." Before he could answer, she slammed the door shut making the picture frame next to the door rattle with the force from it. He blinked once and turned to me.

"What…"

"Emmett kept her up and she hasn't slept. You're on her hit list." He put two and two together, realization flooding his face. "Oh good heavens," he groaned and I laughed at the old fashioned saying. "We're all fucked." Never mind, he's back. He gulped once and I rolled my eyes.
