Another Twilight story!
Dinner with the Cullen's, Hales and Swans
We were almost to Forks after our long ride home and I was going crazy I was having so much fun with my dad and getting to know the man that he was for everyone it made me feel great to know that I would already have great friends and wouldn't be the weird new kid. I don't think I could handle that.
"Bella" Edward asked bringing me out of my thoughts. "are you okay Bell's you have been quiet for a long time know and we were talking to you and you didn't answer" My dad said still kind of worried looking through the mirror to see me. I smiled at him and he winked at me. "No I am sorry I was just thinking that I am glad that I wont have to worry about being the weird kid and that I already can tell I am going to have some great friends." I told everyone in the car. "Awww Bell's we vove you too" Emmett said sounding like a little kid and using the nickname my dad gave me when I was five.
We finally turned into a new neighborhood I wasn't sure why but then I remembered that my dad said we were all having dinner maybe we were going to the Cullen's. "Wow this is a nice area. Is it new?" Everyone looked at me and nodded but Edward was the first to say anything. "Yeah they just made this area about two or three years ago I think. Is that sound about right Charlie?" Edward told me and he asked my dad to be sure of course. He only nodded though. "Oh so do you guys live over around here then. I mean are we having the bbq at one of your guys place then heading to my dads" I asked. Rose looked like she wanted to say something but Alice nudged her to keep quiet it looked like. My dad of course just laughed. "Bell's you think that we could maybe just surprise you for ones." My dad said. Everyone laughed of course and I just nodded and shrugged my shoulders. "Okay Bella sweetie when the new area was going to be made I decided that I would buy a new house and sale the other one but I got it in hopes that we would be together again so I made the house the way we both would love it, your going to love it just wait its right up here" my dad said. I slowly whipped a tear away so that know one would see me crying but of course I felt Edwards arm on my shoulder so I put my hand over his and he whispered in my ear about how much my dad had missed me and loved me. My dads word really made me love my decision to move here.
We pulled the drive way of a beautiful two story house with a huge garage with a little apartment over the top of it. The whole house was beautiful it looked white with blue shutters and really pretty flowers that just looked planted. I wonder who did the yard work its wonderful and I would have done it almost the same way.
I smiled and my dad looked at me when I gasped. "Dad this place is so nice when did you get this house? And who is doing your yard work" I laughed. Along with everyone else in the car. "Well Bell's thank you so much I was hoping that you would love it and you haven't even seem your big surprise yet, and as for the yard you should be thanking Edward" my dad explained. I was wondering about the other surprise I mean he doesn't need to get me anything I am just glad to be here. I also love love love that Edward planted the flowers for me. "I love the yard Edward what kind of flowers are those" I asked him. With of course a blush I am sure. "well the middle area is white roses and Lilly's, the to front ones are white mums and the state flower which is Rhododendron Along with white and pink fawn lily's and of course the one side by the garage are tiger lily's I hope that you like them they were all some of my favorite flowers" Edward told me with a smile a mile long. Well I think that I have found my new favorite flowers and they are always going to be lilies. I must have been thinking for forever because the next thing I am having Emmett bang on my window to tell me that everyone was out of the car. "Gosh Bella didn't know that little Eddie's yard work was going to get you so blushed" Emmett whispered in my ear. Of course I blushed again and only nodded I have a feeling that Emmett is going to be the one that I go to for my "Edward Problem". Once we got all our bags out of the trunk my dad and I went inside to put my stuff in my room and everyone else was going to ran to there houses which just so happened to be a crossed the street for the Hales and the Cullen's live right next door to the left it was crazy and I am super excited to have a great bunch of friends that live so close to me and that my dad loves them all.
"So Bell's about your bedroom I thought that you might like your own space but still close to me since you had that with your mom. So if you look out back there is a stone walk-way that leads to the garage and there is a room over it that I had made for you. I hope that you love it sweetheart" Charlie told me about everything the room and the garden out back and everything new and old with things that were going on with him. I was so shocked that I haven't even told my dad about how excited I am about the room we were walking out to it when he looked a bit nervous. " Dad I am sorry I haven't said anything I am super excited about the room shocked even you know that you didn't have to do that I would have been fine in a small room as long as we could get to spend some time together" I whispered to him Charlie and I didn't really show to much affection but we both knew how much we loved each other and that was thicker then ever. Dad leaned over to me and kissed my check and gave me a side hug. "Bella I just want what's best for you and I want you to love it here, have friends and love living with me. I want for this to be your home now and if you like it and want to stay close after high school and go to a college out here then I would love that even more." He looked over and laughed. "dad of course you wouldn't mind and we will see but I have a feeling that I am going to love it. I already have the beginning to wonderful friendships. I mean Alice and Rose are going to be the best shopping partners ever and great girl friends. Jasper and Emmett are the brothers I never had but always wanted and Edward well he is going to be a great friend and maybe a good person to date when the lime is right" I told my dad with a blush I am sure. "Oh so you like him do you. I knew that you guys would be perfect I just didn't think that it would be so soon but still glad he is a good kids and respectful." He pushed me through the door of my door to my room and finished telling me all about the Cullen's and Hale's how he and Carlisle, Peter would go fishing and spend all day on the boat talking about there families and kids. I could tell he was sad at that part since I wasn't around like the other families were but I still new he talked about me and I loved it. We finally made it to my room there are like seven stairs before you get to my double French doors ( yes that is right double doors man he didn't have to do all this for me but I am happy and love him either way) I gasped and looked to my dad with tears in my eyes. "Bella don't cry now your not even in the room yet and I know what your thinking I just want what is best for you and you should have the best I love you" he told me and then opened the door. We went in and there was a little TV room with cute couches and bean bags all over the place the TV was a great size it might even be to big for me there were all my favorite movies and tons of video games.
I turned to see shelves and shelves of my favorite music. We walked around and my dad showed me the room and the bathroom we talk for about a good half in hour before my dad looked at his watch and noticed the time and said that we had to get going over to the party. So we walked over to the Cullen's house it was just as nice as my dads if not more there backyard was a dream and there was a huge sign that said "welcome home Bella" on it of course I cried and had to wipe away tears. "we just want you to feel welcome dear" a beautiful woman with long dark hair and pretty eyes told me along with a woman next to her that just nodded. "Bella its wonderful to finally have our big strange family finally together we have been waiting for you to come since Charlie told us you were coming. I'm Charlotte Hale but you can call me Char" she told me and pulled me into a mamma bear hug. "and well I am Esme Cullen and I agree I feel like I already know a lot about you and cant wait to learn more I hope you love your room Char and I weren't to sure if it was okay but when your dad told us everything about you and how you dance and love music and shop we knew just what to do but if you want to change it just tell us" Esme told me. She was very sweet and I already feel like I could have three moms it felt great. "Char, Esme please thank you so much I love the room you guys are neck in neck with my garden" I told them looking around to see if Edward was anywhere around but he wasn't.
"He is inside getting ready I think he is nervous" Esme whispered so that no one could hear. I blushed of course. "Lovely Bella" Char and Esme said at the same time they didn't have to say what they were talking about I knew it was my dang blush.
"Come Bella meet Peter and Carlisle" Esme said pulling me next to her. Carlisle is a handsome man blonde hair Edwards eyes and a great smile you could see Edward and Emmett in him it was crazy. He told me how happy he was to meet me and how he hoped that I would feel at home at any of the houses referring to there's or the Hale's I nodded. I got to meet Peter and he was crazy just like Jasper and you could see what Jasper was going to look like just by seeing peter it was great to have such a big family already I can't wait to get to know everyone so that everything would be great with all of us.
"Bella I am so glad that you are finally here what took you so long. Oh my gosh did you see your room we are going to have great sleepovers and party's in there" Alice giggled. "Alice maybe Bella isn't ready for us to sleepover I mean she just got here and if I were her I would think that we are crazy people well at least that you are. Its great to have you over Bella" Rose said and laughed as she joked about Alice. "NO your so right we should have one this weekend it would be so fun we could go shopping and get some new clothes for school and then that way I am ready" I told them and of course Alice jumped up and down and rose just giggled. The guys finally came out and we started our family bbq and I was really loving it I got to talk to Edward about music and found out he loves the same kind and I told him again and again how much I loved my garden and how I was gald that we were all going to be great friends. Rose and Alice talked about our shopping trip and Jasper and Emmett looked like they were trying to just nodded and agree about going with them since they wanted them to hold there bags lol. I looked at Edward right when he turned to look at me it was a perfect yet weird moment. Everyone was looking at us for the longest time when Edward finally cleared his throat. "I think its going to be a great Idea we can all get to know Bella and after you ladies little well big shopping outing we can go back to Bella's and watch movies and popcorn and then maybe the guys can come to the house and we can hang out" Edward said looking around and everyone looked shocked I will have to figure that out.
We said our good byes and I told Alice and Rose that I would see them for the sleepover tomorrow and that the guys could come over and we could all drive together at like eleven. I gave hugs to Esme and Char and told them I was glad to meet them and gave Peter and Carlisle a wink and a wave. Walked over to Emmet and hit his shoulder he pulled me into a hug and whispered that he was happy I was here and that he has high hope for Edward and I. I told Jasper I would see him tomorrow and to bring the coffee and donuts. Then my dad left to start heading home. "So you going to just leave with out a goodbye to your favorite best friend or what" Edward told me. I turned and told him that I wasn't saying goodbye yet because he was going to walk me home. I laughed and said one last goodbye while Edward told everyone he would be right back. Edward walked me home and we stopped in the front on the house so I could say goodnight to my dad also. "Bella I hope you know that I mean what I said how I would love to be your bestest friend till your ready to be more or at least until you are ready for your first date" he laughed. "Edward I want you to be both of those things so you are my best friend and you will be my first date and I would love to go to lunch soon with you tomorrow maybe when we are with everyone its kind of a triple date don't you think" I told him. I leaned in and kissed his check and he nodded. "Good night Edward I can't wait for tomorrow this have been the best couple of days" I walked in the house and leaned up against the door more excited to be here then ever.
