Chapter 1: Welcome Home!
(BPOV)
I stepped off the plane in Seattle. I was back in the state where it all began. I was nervous the whole way. I kept twisting my engagement ring back and forth on my finger. I don't even know why. Maybe it was because my whole family was going to meet my fiancé for the first time as my fiancé. Or maybe it was because of…him. No Bella stop it.
"Babe, stop fidgeting you're making me nervous." Jake said.
"Sorry. Aren't you nervous at all?" I asked him.
"Not really." He shrugged. I just stared at him shocked. How could he not be nervous? I mean he was about to announce to my family that we are engaged. All of Washington will know about this wedding….crap I just freaked myself out.
"Not even a bit?"
"Nope."
"Okay, but be warned. Where there's a Swan there's a Cullen. And no matter what you need to try and impress them both." I let him know. He just shrugged.
"Don't worry. I'm sure they will love me." He said. I smiled at least he was optimistic, me not so much.
We hopped in a tazi and went to my house. As the taxi pulled up I saw Jacob's jaw drop.
"Wow, is this your house?"
"Yeah. Welcome to Casa de Swans." I said. So I may have not mentioned to him how well off my family really was. I mean he knew that my family had money but he didn't know that we were basically considered royalty in Washington state. if that makes any sense at all. I took his hand and stepped into the foyer.
Out came Maria. She was one of the servants. But to me she was my nana. I was very close to her. She had long brown hair with brown eyes. She was only 38 years old. I spent my childhood with her in the kitchen. She was 17 years old when she first arrived looking for work. I had just been born. At first she had helped my mom take care of me and when I got older, I still spent time with her. She was like another mother to me.
"Isabella!" she said with her thick Spanish accent. She was the only person who was allowed to call me that.
"Nana!", I said hugging her. She cupped me face.
"How have you been Chiquita?" she asked.
"Very good. Nana this is Jacob Black. He is my fiancé." I informed her. She looked a bit shocked.
"Very nice to meet you. I am Maria." She said pulling him into a hug.
"It's a pleasure." He answered.
"Is anyone home?" I asked.
"Si mi Chiquita. They are waiting for you." Maria said before leading us towards the living room.
"Belly bean!" Emmett screamed before pulling me into his signature bone crushing bear hugs. Emmett is my older brother. He's huge with curly brown hair and our mother's beautiful blue eyes. He's like a big old teddy bear. "I've missed you."
"Same here Brother bear. You have no idea." I said. He set me down. I was pulled into another hug. This time it was by my mom, Renee.
"Oh baby you're home!"
"I've missed you mom." I said. She let me go and my dad, Charlie, pulled me into another hug.
"Bells I missed you." I hugged him back. I pulled away. They all turned and looked at Jacob.
"Guys, this is Jacob black my boyfriend." I said. I didn't want to tell them we were engaged until dinner tonight.
They all greeted him. Seeing them treat him nicely made me smile. This could work after all.
After chatting for a bit, we went upstairs to put our stuff away.
"Well its going well." Jacob said.
"Yeah, thank god. Now to make it through the actual announcement tonight." I said. Jacob wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me to him.
"Don't worry. No matter what happens I will always love you." he told me.
"I love you too." I said leaning up to kiss him. We broke away and went into our room.
Read and Review please! I'd love to know what people think.
