First Date

–one month after we moved into the house-

"Why do we have to do this?" I asked Dean as he dragged me into the restaurant, he kept his arm around my waist. But not because he just wanted to-it was because I tripped every five seconds in these high heels Aunt Alice gave me.

"Because I want to." He smiled at me. I sighed.

I couldn't believe he was making me do this. We already love each other-isn't that enough? Why do we have to subject ourselves to the awkwardness of a first date?

"Come on Lizzy, smile." He pushed as we walked under the dim light of the restaurant.

It wasn't too fancy, but it wasn't like a McDonalds or anything; it was nice.

He led me to a table-I was thankful there wasn't a hostess or anything, the people here just sat themselves.

I was about to sit down in the chair-when Dean pulled it out for me. I stared at it dumbly almost not sure if I should sit in it or not. I looked up and Dean had his eyebrow cocked, almost daring me to refuse it. I sighed and sat down, and then he pushed it closer to the table before walking to his side and sitting down.

A waiter came up holding a notepad and a pen, his hair was blonde and gelled. I looked at his outfit under the apron. Hm… he had good taste.

"Hi," he said to Dean then me, I was thankful he wasn't trying to flirt with me or anything. That happened once. Let's just say I dragged Dean out of there fast. "I'm Stephone, your waiter. What can I get you?" He asked us.

I was about to answer when Dean spoke first. "I'll have the steak- Medium rare, with a Diet Coke. And the lady will have fried chicken, with an iced tea." He finished with a smug grin.

"Oh I will?" I asked 'defying' him.

"Well of course I was only trying to be polite-you are a woman and you have every right to tell this nice man what you want to have. So you can go ahead and tell him exactly what you want." Smart ass.

"No, what you said is good…." I admitted.

"Oh alright sweetie I love you." He leaned over and kissed my cheek.

"And I love you too." I said while shaking my head 'no'.

"Aw, that's just so cute!" Stephone exclaimed. "I'll be right back with your drinks." He said before walking away.

"Dean-what the hell was that?!"

"He's gay." He said simply.

"…what?..."

"Stephone is gay." He explained slowly.

"You can't know that." I replied.

"Oh I can and I do."

"Even if so-what does that have to do with your smart-ass attitude?"

"Did you see the way he looks at me?" It clicked in my head…

"That little…" I sneered in the direction where he had walked away.

"And I was doing that so he knows I'm straight." He finished.

"You suck." Was the brilliant come back I had.

"I love you too babe."He leaned across the table to plant a sweet kiss on my lips

B POV

"Oh Edward do you think she'll be alright?" I asked biting my lip and staring out the window, I couldn't believe my little girl was going out on a date.

Edward patted my shoulder lovingly. "It's ok love, Dean loves her, she'll be fine."

"Why do you seem so at ease? I thought you were just as over-protective as I was."

"I've just had time to grow accustomed to it."

"But I've have 13 years and I'm still not over the worry it causes me when she's out."

"It's alright Bella." He kissed my forehead lovingly. I fumed silently, I felt so alone.

Rosalie then came down the stairs and sat next to us. "Do you think she'll be alright?" She asked, staring out the same window I was.

"Gee Rose; you've really taken to the whole 'overprotective family member thing'." Edward joked, I giggled.

"Well maybe she made me see some things I needed to see…." She said absently.

I smiled and placed my hand atop of hers; she turned to me and smiled warmly. At once I felt whole with Rose, I felt as if we were finally at the point where we needed to be.

"So…" Edward started. "I guess we're going to the dealership tomorrow."

"Why?" I asked.

He faked confusion. "Aren't we taking the car back?"

"Why?" I asked again.

"So you're saying you want to keep it?" He asked, elated… huh?

"But I don't-"

"Nope you already said it. We get to keep the Ferrari." He said with finality.

I sighed. It didn't matter anymore. I didn't even care.

"Bella?" He asked softly. "Did I upset you?"

"No… It just doesn't seem like such a big deal anymore…"

He chuckled and kissed my forehead. "I love you."

L POV

Ok you can do this… just one foot in front of the other…

I linked my arm in Dean's and leaned there, I couldn't find my stability in these shoes, and this puffy dress didn't help any.

"Dean hold still for a second." I steadied myself on his arm as I best down and fixed my shoe. I got back up and played with my hair, the bun was coming out.

"Liz relax, you look perfect."

"Thanks, but you're a little biased don't you think?" I said sarcastically.

"Ok, do you want me to get someone whom you don't know to tell you?"

"No thanks sweetie, I'm good." I joked.

"Come be happy, as long as you're happy, your Mom will be happy and if your Mom is happy Edward will be happy, and if Edward is happy, I'm happy because them he won't kill me for doing this." He grabbed me by the waist and crashed my lips to his.

"Edward says at least half a foot space between your faces." Aunt Alice called to us. She and Uncle Jasper were right in front us getting ready to walk doing the aisle. Dang…. How did Edward do that?

Edward had purposed to Mom a few months ago-I would be lying if I say that I didn't expect it. But Mom was excited and couldn't bottle up her emotions, so it made me feel that way too. I was one of the bridesmaids and… well I wasn't entirely sure on what Dean 'was', this whole wedding thing confused to me to no end.

The music started playing and the two white heavy doors opened up to the church; it was beautiful- white flowers, white fabric, and white everything littered flawlessly in the chapel.

My breathing got harder and more labored as Dean and I started walking in a robotic like rhythm ; I had no reason to feel this way though, it was Mom and Edward's wedding, if anyone should be freaking out it's Mom. Oh boy please don't let that jinx anything!

When we finally reached the end of the long walkway, Dean and I separated and took our places facing the door. The doors reopened and Mom came out looking stunning in her big poofy white number. Her expression was one of elation and it looked like-if she could- she'd be crying right now.

I was suddenly filed with the feeling of extreme happiness. Mom was getting married, after all we've been through, on this day, she gets her happiness. She gets to have Edward, Edward gets to be the husband she never had to Mom. I get to be the daughter to the two most wonderful people in the world.

I no longer feel hate towards Jacob-it feels as if I have some sort of closure now. I feel better than I did while hating him. I feel as if I finally have to answer to the million dollar question.

Now Mom gets the life she always wanted, and I get the family I've always wanted.

I felt a tear escape my eyes as Mom made it up to Edward, and he took her hand in his.

When the priest spoke, I saw them place the rings on each others' hands, sealing their love. Then when the priest finished, Edward kissed the bride-bonding them for eternity. I let out a shaky breath, this moment was more beautiful than I ever imagined even in my wildest dreams.

Edward was no longer just Edward-he was Dad. My father.

The crowd clapped-it didn't seem fit. They should have cheered joyously. Well, I guess none of them are as lucky as I was.

For once in my life, I felt lucky, I felt loved.

Smell

Edward's POV

Bella, love what is it? Bella had been looking odd and looking around smelling for the past hour. Bella if you are still worried about Dean and Lizzy I can call them and ask them to come back. Bella glared at me. Edward, do not tell me you cannot smell the wolf! I know you can, we are vampires, remember? She yelled at me. Yes, Bella I have been one over 100 years if you will think to "remember" that I said chuckling a little over her anger. Well Edward, it does not smell like dean and it is strongest in Lizzy's room I am afraid we could have had a little visitor while we were out hunting! She said looking around frantically as if a wolf would pop out on the spot. Bella dear calm down I will just call Lizzy over and she and they can come back, after all the movie probably just ended so I am calling them.

Bella's POV

I watched as Edward took out his phone and dialed Dean's cell phone number. Hello? I heard Dean ask. Yes Dean, can you and Lizzy come home now please? Edward asked politely. Why is someone hurt? What is going on? No nobody is hurt Dean, remember we are vampires? Edward said mocking my statement from earlier. Oh, yeah, I forgot. I could almost see Dean blushing. Anyway, if that isn't wrong what is up? Well Dean, Bella is going into over- protective mother mode. Edward! I screamed Do you not care about my daughter at all?!? Yes Bella but you are being irrational, no I want to know what is going on! Ugh fine Bella. Dean so can you make it home now? Yeah no problem Lizzy is feeling a little sick anyway I think we ate too much popcorn. I wanted to come home but she insisted it was nothing. What!! I screamed maybe a little to loud. Bring her home this instant Dean or you may not have any arms left! I went and grabbed the phone out of Edward's hand so fast and I opened the door and threw it out the door. When the phone finally hit something I heard the phone shatter and a huge crack meaning it probably hit a tree.

Dean's POV

Lizzy we have to go home and I mean NOW, Bella is freaking out. Dean, why is my mom freaking out? What happened? My angel asked me. Well, I sort of told her about you not feeling well. Oh, well that sounds like mom, she said giggling. I guess we better go then Dean she said. Okay hun I wish we would have brought the car and Id's from J Jinks. Well, we didn't so lets go before mom breaks the whole house.

Lizzy's POV

I watched as Dean went into the tree's and changed into his wolf from. I ran over to him, surprisingly faster than I could usually run. I hopped on Dean's back and he started running for home. The house was only about 5 miles from the theatre so we would make it there in about 3 minutes. When we got to the house Mom and Edward ( I call him Dad now unless I am mad at him) they were standing waiting for us. Mom started to run for me but she stopped short. I heard a deep growl escape from her and all of the sudden there was all of my family holding her down, Rosalie was holding her torso, Edward her head, Carlisle standing in front of me and Dean, while Jasper was calming her and Esme was holding her legs and Emmett her arms. What is all that about you guys? Just an extra pre-caution, Bella is still a newborn Lizzy. Carlisle said standing up finally from out of his protective crouch. Mom what is wrong, you haven't lost control with me ever, why now? Yeah Bells, what's up what has your fang in a knot? That would be just like Uncle Emmett, making a joke at a time like this. Mom started yelling then. " I SOMETIMES WONDER IF YOU ARE VAMPIRES OR NOT!" Can you not smell that very strong stinking stench! They all sniffed and finally backed away. Dad said, I can smell it Bella but Dean is here remember. Rosalie cut him off. No Edward this scent new it isn't Dean's scent. You are right Rosalie, said Grandpa Carlisle. Carlisle moved closer inhaling the scent. He told Dean to go and stand with Mom and Dad. Finally he said I think the stench is coming from Lizzy, Bella. I think… I think she might be ready to transform.
