AN- I want to thank everyone that has this story to their alerts or favorites. I also want to give everyone that has taken the time to leave me a review a BIG thank you. I have enjoy reading them and look forward to many more.

I also wanted make sure everyone knew that this story is a honest to goodness love story. I didn't mean to imply when I mentioned the word "bite" in the last chapter that this would turn into a Dom/sub type story in anyway, shape or form. I am writing that type of story already but needed a good outlet for my unreleased romantic ideas from that story to make their way out of my head in some form, hence the reason for this new story. If you are looking for that type of story have a look at my profile and click on "A Weekend Away with Carlisle" The whole family has an important role in that story. Give that one a try if you dare.

Thanks again for reading and I will see you at the bottom...Happy Reading

**BPOV**

I woke up this morning to find that Rose and Emmett left during the night for their extended hunting trip already. I had hope to say goodbye before they left but I guess I will just text them. I had some breakfast and was sitting in Carlisle's study when he walked in and wanted to talk.

"Bella, I hope you have a good trip. I know that you will enjoy visiting Texas. It usually has good weather this time of year too. I hope that you meet some new people and have a good time. I know that you haven't had the best year of your life but I feel that changes are in the wind for you. Graduation is just a few weeks away, the possibility of college ahead and then your change, I feel that life will get better for you. You never know what is waiting around the corner for you. Is there anything you want to talk about before we leave for the airport?"-Carlisle

"Well, dad, I hope I have a good trip too. I feel that something big will happen to me while I am gone. I have been having these dreams of a certain guy and I am supposed to meet him in Austin. I hope I do, he seems like he might be the one, you know like my other half. I hope so; I don't like being the only unmated person in the house. I sometimes feel left out when you guys are all doing your own things."Bella

"You know, we have always had a odd man out in our family. First it was Edward and now it's you. I know it's hard for you but it won't always be this way. One day you will find that special someone that will complete you and when you do everything will be okay. I bet you will find him when you least expect it. Your soul mate will find you when the time is right and not before. If he happens to be a vampire the pull between mates is unbreakable and undeniable. Would you like to go ahead and stop at that pastry shop you like to stop at in Seattle?"-Carlisle

"You are probably right; Alice said something similar to me last night as well. I just hope that 'that one day' is sooner than later. I would really love to stop if we have time, I love that place. Let's go, my bags are already downstairs."- Bella

Who was left at the house loaded up into the Tahoe and we drove to Seattle stopping at my favorite pastry shop before arriving at the airport. Jasper helped me with my bags while Carlisle and I got checked in. He and Esme walked with me and waited at the gate till it was time for me to board. I hugged them both and told them I loved them and would call when I landed. They told me I had a rental to pick up and it was already taken care of and the GPS would be preloaded with my hotel information but they gave me a paper copy of directions and confirmation of both the car and hotel in case I needed it. I boarded the plane and soon it took off towards Austin.

Hours later the plane landed and I found my rental. It was a very nice mid-size suv with dark tinted windows. I guess the dark tint is a standard option for the Cullens and I have gotten used to it in the last few years. I found my quickly enough to my hotel, of course it was very nice. It was a very modern hotel and located in the downtown area. It had a pool and a workout room, both of which I would be using tonight. I found my room which was on the second floor with a nice size trees just outside the balcony. I loved the room, very bright colors and modern as well. I left the hotel and found the bus/shutter to the campus. I know these trips are for show but I still manage to walk around on the campuses I pretend to visit. I like to think that one day in a normal world I could attend one of the colleges I visit. UT is a very good school but it is too sunny for my family to come with me. I found my way over to the bookstore and bought my traditional college sweatshirt and T-shirt, plus I need to buy Emmett his hat. He told me the first time I left to first a college he wanted one so he feel as if he went with me, so I kept up the tradition for his hats as well.

After making my purchases I decide that I wanted to go back to the hotel and take a shower and find a cool place to hang out and listen to some live music. I made a quick stop in the students building and asked a couple people that looked shared interests with me and gave me a couple of places to try out and told me they usually got going about 9 or so and ran till 2. They gave me a few places that were good local places to get some dinner. On my way back to the hotel, I actually found this really cool dress shop and found the cutest dress that went great with a pair of shoes that I had packed. I figured the dress was causal enough to wear out tomorrow when I went to the library and toured the capitol building. I finally arrived back at the hotel, I showered and changed and was about to set out when I decided I wanted to check in first with Carlisle. I got my phone and dialed him up. He answered on the first ring and I told him all about my day and my plans for the evening. I mentioned that what I thought I would do tomorrow as well. He told me to ring him once I got back into my room and made sure to tell that I couldn't use my fake ID to buy drinks. I teased him and asked him how would I have gotten a hold of one of those and he teased me back saying that his other kids are a bad influence on me. He told me to keep my drink limit to 2 and to make sure I had something to eat first and sometime after the first. I simply responded with a 'yes dad' and he chuckled and we said our goodbyes and hung up.

I found one of local restaurants that the students had given me and it looked good enough but I wanted to see the other one so I hoped on the bus and found it. It looked better plus it had a live house band already playing. I ordered a burger and fries and found a seat near the open bay windows. The music was pretty good and when the food arrived it was as well. I stayed listening to the music for another hour and then walked around sampling the local music hot spots till I found one that seemed to be a good spot for the college crowd. The music here was a good mix of live music and recorded music from top 40 popular artists. This place suited me for few hours but I left in hopes of finding a better place with all live music. I found this little hole in the wall place and it was perfect. They were playing all of my favorites. They played a lot of Frank Sinatra plus a ton of tunes just like it. I loved it and I would have to remember this place should I ever find myself in Austin again. I found a good seat and order a drink and just listened for an hour or so then a guy approached me and asked me to dance. I accepted and hoping those dance lessons had paid off. I had a great time dancing with him and we soon we sat down and started talking but quickly found we had nothing in common except liking the same music. After a few awkward minutes of silence he excused himself to find some friends he was waiting on…aka- he was bailing on me which I was totally fine with. The night went well and I heard some great music but I had gotten sleepy and wanted to get back to the hotel before it got too late and the bars started to close down and all the weirdo's starting roaming around.

I was getting close to my hotel when a small group of guys started following me. I noticed them and kept an eye out making sure they didn't get any closer to me than I wanted them too. I found a coffee shop that was open and I went in and ordered a drink. I sat in there for about 30-40 minutes and thought if I stayed out much later I would fall asleep. I made my way back out and started towards my hotel again which was only 3-4 more blocks to go. I heard them talking again and I sighed in flustration. I pulled my phone out and dialed dad.

"Hey dad….I know you have someone following me, so please tell them to take some kind of action so I can get to my hotel and get some sleep. I am tired of being followed by these over grown horny men, just tell Emmett to get them to stop following me."-Bella

"Hi to you too…and I have no idea what you are talking about. Call me when you get into your room. I love you Bella."-Carlisle

"Thanks Emmett!" I said and kept walking to my hotel. I never heard him reply but the men stopped following me but I never looked to see what made them change their mind. I made it to my room and called dad again informing him I was safe and sound. I thanked him for keeping an eye on me, but I was going to bed. I changed and opened the curtains ever so slightly but enough that my brother could see in if he wanted to

I let them all think that I didn't know I was under constant surveillance when I left Forks for these little trips. I knew someone was also there watching out for me but I never saw them but I felt him all the time. I knew it was Emmett, why else would he want a hat from each place I visited. I knew he was here with me and I owed him that much for helping me out if I ever needed it. I was glad that he was here and I always slept better knowing that my big brother was nearby if I ever needed him. I knew they trusted me enough to go out on my own but they didn't trust the other beings (either it be vampires or humans) on the planet to have me unsupervised. I feel asleep and had dreams of the man I wished to meet.

When the morning sun made its way into my room, I rolled over pulled the covers over my head and went back to sleep. I wanted to remain in my dream world a bit longer because I could feel his cold arms wrapped around me and I could finally see his eyes. They were this weird color but they looked like he had feed on something different because they were neither gold nor red but a weird shade of the two. They were sexy as hell and I could see the gentleness in them. I felt the pull begin when I saw his eyes and I wanted to meet him so bad. I decided that these dreams were of my future and I needed to get out of bed and outside where I would stand a better chance in meeting him. I knew we would find each other, thinking back I began to see that my family was giving me hope of a future love and I wondered if they knew something I didn't. I bet they did and wanted me to find it on my own.

I got up, showered and dressed in my new dress and went to hunt me something to eat. I asked at the front desk if there was a local bakery close by and set out to find it. Once I had eaten a little something I found my way back to the campus and located the library. I wanted to see how theirs stacked up to the others I had visited. It was very nice and seemed easy enough to get lost in. I found a quiet corner and a book and started reading. After an hour or two I decided to go on over to the capital building see what it looked like. I heard it was made from local pink granite and limestone. I wanted to see this. While on the tour I found out most of the structure is made from the limestone but it discolored when in the weather so the pink granite covers all of the outdoor and much of the indoor surfaces as well. It is a very nicely built piece of architecture that everyone should see. It is one of the tallest capitals in the country and is taller than the US Capital in Washington DC. After finishing up that tour I went in search of some lunch, it was already mid- afternoon and I hadn't eaten anything since this morning but time had gotten away from me when I was reading all the signs and such on the tour.

I found a quick little Mexican place the locals kept talking about. I had heard they had the most amazing tacos and I got 3 of them and a side of chips and something green but they claimed was the best in the state. I had my reservations about the green stuff but I took their word on it. The restaurant was close to a park so I decided to walk over there to eat my lunch. I was looking at one the buildings top moldings and didn't notice him but I bump right into him dropping my lunch. Thank goodness they were completely wrapped up in foil and I didn't lose any of my chips but I had lost my drink to the dirt. I whispered out an embarrassed 'sorry' and bent down to collect my food to find him already picking it up for me. I pulled my head up to see who to thank for their help and then I saw his eyes….his eyes…those were the eyes from my dream. I stood slowly up and I couldn't say a word, I could barely even breathe and something inside me change. I felt like I belonged to him. I felt like I had a rope tried along my middle and was pulling me towards him. I stopped thinking and just reached out for him, when he touched my hand to pull me to him I felt the pull even stronger and I went willingly into his arms. Everything in this world was forgotten, all my pain and sadness disappeared and in its place I found peace and love. I felt like the world finally righted itself and I was where I belonged.

He whispered "Peter" and I whispered "Bella" back. He pulled my head up to face him and he leaned down and kissed me gently on the lips. The feelings had been dealing with double, tripled instantly once his lips touched mine. I melted into his arms and I loved this feeling. I felt whole; not that I thought I was missing a huge chunk before but now that I feel so complete I had been missing a lot of something but I found it at long last. The kiss was gently and passionate. I could feel the love just pouring off of him into me. He pulled back and broke the kiss. He gathered up the remains of my lunch and we made our way to a table out of the way and we sat down.

He kept a hand on me at all times even while I was eating. We didn't talk till I had eaten then he pulled me into his lap and kissed me again. Once another magical kiss ended did he speak.

"Bella. I have been looking forward to meeting you."-Peter

"I have been looking forward in meeting you too. You have been in my dreams for weeks."-Bella

"You have been dreaming of me?"-Peter

"I have. I have a sketch of your face back at home; I have been working on for just over a week now. I never could draw the eyes though till this morning. I finally saw your eyes in my dream last night and they were dead on. I love the change you are making, is that because of me?"-Bella

"You know what I am?"-Peter

"Of course silly vampire, I live with them and of course I have run into red eyes before. Your contacts do not do you justice though. I can see right through them you know. My brother Emmett is around just so you know. I am not supposed to know that but I have always known. He loves me too and so does Jasper and Carlisle. I hope I won't have any problems with any jealously from you for these other men in my life. Will I?"- Bella

"Of course not, they are your brothers and your father. Why would I be jealous of them?"- Peter

"Emmett, please come out but be cautious. I want a hug."- Bella

Emmett came out from his hiding place and walked slowly towards me. Once he got close he stopped and gave Peter time to stop growling. Once he gained some of his compose he started again and stopping again about 5 feet in front of me to let Peter's growling to get under control once more. He took one step at a time till he was standing front of me. I reached out and stroked Peter's face and told him that I was okay with Emmett and his arms loosen from around my waist. I stood up and hugged Emmett. Peter was letting a small growl out and I reached one of my hands back towards him which he took. Once Peter thought our hug was long enough he pulled me back into his lap and Emmett sat down across from us at the table.

"Peter, this is my big brother Emmett. Emmett this is Peter."-Bella

"Hello Emmett, it's nice to meet you. Thank you for keeping my mate safe and sound last night."-Peter

"It is nice to meet you as well Peter. I am glad I was made aware that we would be bumping into you today and I am glad that Bella here is smart enough to help control our internal monsters for us. She is really something isn't she?"- Emmett

"Yes, she is a lot of something. Bella, how did you know that I would be jealous of your brothers?"- Peter

"I have seen how my family acts protective of their mates when a stranger approaches and I know it has to do with some fear but also some jealously too. I image you won't be as bad with my other brother Jasper. I have this feeling that you 2 are brothers in some way but Carlisle might be another story. I like to touch the men in my life, not in a sexual way but in a familiar way. He hug and kiss each other on the check, we kid around and they give me piggy back rides. Emmett here likes to throw me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and run me places. I cuddle up next to Carlisle when we watch movies but it is all done in very non sexual way. I hope that you can come to terms with this because it is something I am not willing to give up."- Bella

"I will work on it I promise you. I want you to be happy and if being close to your family like you described does that then I will allow it but only your family. I will not be happy if you are approached by guys at school or wherever. I will also be very watchful of Edward when he returns."-Peter

"Peter, how do you know my family?"-Bella

"Bella, I have known Jasper all of my vampire life. He is my creator, brother and best friend. He and I fought wars together and both lived to tell about it. I have known his mate Alice as long as they have known each other and when they joined the Cullen's, I made a visit once. I didn't stay long but I meet everyone else. I talk with Jasper a few times a year but most recently a few days ago when I felt that I would meet my mate and I needed help. I knew he hung out with humans and I needed his expert advice in knowing how to talk to you, but we didn't know it was you at the time. He asked Alice to check into my future to see what would work on her-you and all she could say was your name. She said you would just bump in to me and it would happen from there. Just like it did."-Peter

"So I take it that you are my mate then?"- Bella

"Yes Bella, we are each other soul mates. Let's try a little test, shall we? Walk over to the other side of the street, then close your eyes and find me."- Peter

"Okay, seems like a odd type of test though. I trust you though."- Bella

I got up and did as I was told and made my way across the street. The further away I got from him the more my chest hurt. I had to stop a couple of times from the pain from it. Emmett came to me and helped me across the street. Once across the street I closed my eyes and Emmett turned me around in a few circle and let me loose. He told me the road was clear and to go on, and follow the pull. I started walking and I could feel it tug me this way and that till I was in his arms. I opened my eyes and saw the biggest grin ever. He hugged me and kissed me like it was the last kiss we would ever share. Emmett joined us and sat back down.

"It's a crazy feeling isn't it lit' sis?"- Emmett

"Yeah, it's like I knew where to find him not matter what was in my way. Do you have this same pull with Rose?"-Bella

"Yes, I could run right to her if I wanted to or I felt she needed me. You can feel some emotions through your mating bond as well as location. If Rose was terrified I would know and if close enough I would go to her if not I would call for help."-Emmett

"Last night, I followed you on your musical journey. Me being the vampire at current, I felt the mating bond much sooner than you. I felt it when I first saw you but you could only feel it when you looked into my eyes. Last night, I knew you were scared but I couldn't do much about it without you finding me before you were ready to be my mate. I could sense you had a plan and you made a call and then I saw Emmett detained those men for you. You have a great family you know."- Peter

"Yeah, I love them so much. They help me when I don't even know they do. I have always known you followed across the country Emmett. Thank you for taking time away from Rose to keep me safe….Peter, what did you first think when you found out that I was a human?"- Bella

"I don't remember thinking anything negative about it just that I knew I wanted to make a good first impression on you. I was excited to think that I would find my mate. The fact that you were human didn't matter to me. After talking to Jasper and finding out about who you were to some degree I knew that I really wanted to meet you and I would be honored if you returned my feelings."- Peter

"Let me ask you this, do you want me as your human mate or as a vampire mate?"- Bella

"Baby, I am selfish enough to ask you to become a vampire so I can keep you forever, but if you didn't want to live forever then I would be satisfied with staying by your side till your last breathe and loving you till the end of my time."-Peter

"You….want….me…forever? Really, you do? I would love to remain by your side till the end of time and then some."- Bella

"Of course I want you forever. Who wouldn't want you around forever? I have only know you officially an hour and I already love you so much and can't wait to get you back to you room to have my way with you if you let me."-Peter

"Peter"- Emmett

"Emmett?"- Peter

"Never mind me, I think I am going to take off and remain in the shadows again. I don't want to think of my little sister getting it on for the…."-Emmett

"Emmett, that is just about enough….go on home if you like, Petey here can keep watch over me till I leave, won't you Peter?"- Bella

"Bella, do you think that I am just going to let you leave? I am going with you. I already have a place in Forks and I have clearance from the local coven leader to hunt animals in their allowed areas plus my mate has to finish school and I just can't stay here and wait on you to come back. I also think that I may join your group of veggies and learn their ways so I can help you when your change comes along. Do you mind if I come home with you?"- Peter

"Oh no….I would love for you to come home with me. You could share my room if Carlisle will let you if not I know they have an open guest room that Esme would love to fix up for you. Really are you going to come home with me?"-Bella

"Of course silly human… I can't be away from you. I could hardly let you out of my sight a moment ago when you were across the street. I know you felt pain because Emmett had to help you back on your feet so you could finish the test. I don't think you could be away from me any longer than I could be away from you. I am coming with you."- Peter

"I am so happy….I get to have my mate and my family. I wish my dad could have met you. I know he would have loved you but you have passed Carlisle now. He is much stricter than my real dad was. He has all these rules, but between you and me I like them. They keep me honest and safe."- Bella

"Oh Bella, we are going to be just perfect together. I will pass any test Carlisle can throw at me and I will fight for you if and when it comes down to it and I will win. How about we dump your brother off at the airport and let's retire to your room so we can chat without the whole world hearing or seeing us. Then in the morning we can drive ourselves to the airport and you can show me my new home and family. Sound good? Good. Let's go!"-Peter

We made our way back to my hotel. Peter found my car and we drove Emmett back to the airport. I called Alice to ask her to buy him a ticket and said it was already waiting for him at the counter to pick up. She also mentioned that she would leave Carlisle's car at the airport in Seattle on the top parking deck near the door we would come out and the keys inside. She said it would be better this way and she would explain later if I didn't figure it out first. I thanked her and we said our goodbyes and a promise to check in before we left.

AN- So what did you think about it? Good, Bad?

Let me hear what you have to say...Please leave a review!
