Chapter 3: EPOV
"Edward, do you remember me telling you about that nice man I met? The doctor?" My mom, Esme, asked as she came and sat next to me on the couch of our hotel suite. We were currently in Medford, Oregon because Mom had a big project to do here. She was an interior designer. We had been here for about 4 months now. Why so long? One might ask.
Well, she wasn't decorating the inside of a home, no. She was decorating the inside of a huge 30-story office building that was just recently built, and had asked me if I would like to come with her. Not wanting her to be alone in a hotel for so long, I agreed. Three months ago she met doctor Carlisle Cullen.
"Yes, I remember. Why?" I asked nicely.
"Well, honey, Carlisle proposed to me." She paused. Proposal? After only three months? I raised one eyebrow. "And I said yes." She eyed me warily, judging my reaction. My mouth dropped and my eyes grew wide. I worked quickly to compose my expression from the shock.
"Mom, are you sure about this? You've known this man only about three months!"I said incredulously, but also secretly concerned for her sanity. This didn't seem like something my mom would do, ever.
"Yes, I am sure. Sweetie, I know this is going to sound ridiculous, but…I love this man, as crazy as it seems. I really do." She assured, smiling gently at me, silently begging me with her eyes to understand. I sighed.
"Does he make you happy?" I asked. After all, that's what really mattered I guess.
"Yes." She said surely.
"Does he treat you good?" That was important, too, of course.
"Yes, of course! A perfect gentleman, just like I raised you to be." She informed.
"Well then I guess I have no reason to disapprove, now do I?" I said, smiling at her.
"Oh, thank you so much Edward! It means so much that we aren't going to be torn apart over this. I was so worried." She said, hugging me tightly.
"Me, too, Mom. But, ugh, are we going to be moving here, now, then?" I asked. It would be terrible to move. I had never had many friends, but I don't think I could survive without the friends that I have now, in Forks. They were my best friends. 'They 'consisted of Alice McCarty, her boyfriend Jasper Hale, his twin sister Rosalie Hale, and her boyfriend who is also Alice's brother, Emmett McCarty.
"Well, actually, they're going to be moving in with us." She said, watching me cautiously. That, I was okay with. I'd still have my friends. I sighed with relief. Wait a second…
"They?" I asked confused. I raised one eyebrow.
"Yes, they. He has a daughter." She informed me. That was… cool, I guess. I at least hoped, with great effort, that she wouldn't be a fake plastic Barbie doll like Jessica, Tanya, and Lauren. I mentally shuddered. That would be awful. I needed to see if she was so I could mentally prepare myself.
"Oh. Tell me about her?" I asked. Fingers crossed…
"I haven't met her yet, myself. But Carlisle has told me so much about her. He really loves her. She's 16 and her name is Bella. She's in a rock band, and according to Carlisle she's not preppy, so don't worry about living with a Lauren-clone." She smiled knowingly. I laughed.
"Good. When are they moving in?" I questioned.
"Well, I finished that project I was working on so we are free to leave whenever."
"That doesn't answer my question, Mom." I reminded her, smiling.
"Right. Well, he hasn't exactly told Bella anything yet, but he's going to tell her tonight, and they'll start packing today, and finish tomorrow. We leave around 3 in the afternoon tomorrow."
"Are you sure they'll have enough time to pack? We don't want them to rush." I voiced my concerns aloud.
"Carlisle assured me it would be perfectly fine. Although, he does predict that Bella will have a fit hen he tells her." She said sadly
"It's only reasonable. Her dads getting married after seeing a women for three months that she's heard nothing about, finds out she's moving in with them miles from home the day before she leaves, and has to leave all her friends behind. It's a lot to take in. And she might not be used to another women being with her dad, maybe she's used to being his only girl. You never know, Mom. Just give her time and don't worry, I'm sure she'll come around. She's probably a nice girl from the way you say Carlisle talks about her." I assured her. I felt kind of bad for this girl, though. I know I would be pretty upset if I were here. I made a silent promise to myself that, as long as she wasn't like Lauren, I would seek to make sure that she was happy in Forks. If it were the other way around, I'd want someone to try to make me happy, too.
"I guess you're right, hon. Thank you. And thank you for being so understanding. I love you." She said, before hugging me and kissing my forehead.
"No worries, Mom. I love you, too."
"Now, why don't you pack your stuff up and get to bed. We've got a big day ahead of us tomorrow, and we check out at 9:00 AM." She smiled.
"Alright, Mom. Sounds good. I'll set my alarm. Goodnight."
"Goodnight, Edward." She smiled. I got up and went to my room. I packed away all of my stuff, and put on my pajamas. I went to bed, completely clueless as to what was to come.
