Hey folks,
Again I am very sorry for the late update, nut let me tell you real life sucks.
To be responsible is a big responsibility, so exams, new job and maintaining a balance between them is really difficult.
Well not to bore you with my crazy ramblings here is a brand new chapter just for you. Hope you enjoy and please review…
Also about disclaimer I do not own twilight, it belongs to Stephanie Meyer and I am just borrowing the characters.

Chapter 7:
It was around 11 on Saturday morning that we heard cars parking on our porch as we were sitting and waiting for the Cullen's to arrive i.e. Charlie and Sue were downstairs and me, Leah and Seth were in my room. Charlie and Sue went to greet the Cullen's as the door bell rang signifying their arrival. Leah was stuck to door giving us play by play happenings of downstairs.
"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Swan. I am Carlisle Cullen and this is my family." I heard a smooth voice saying. "Welcome Mr. Cullen. It's Charlie and Sue; please come inside and have a seat." I heard Charlie saying to the Cullen's.
"Then it's Carlisle, Charlie and thank you for meeting with us so immediately. I didn't think you would agree this quickly." I heard the same smooth voice saying which now I identified as Carlisle. I heard several footsteps which Leah informed that they now moved to our seating area.
"Well Carlisle to be frank, it is still quite uncomfortable for me, to meet and then fix an arranged marriage for my daughter. I always knew that at some point of my time I would be meeting my children's boyfriend or girlfriend and play the part of protective dad as what is nowadays done. But Sue and Aro convinced me to at least meet you as you are a good man and have a very good family. But let me tell you that I let Aro and Sue convince me to meet you, but the decision to finally invite you was with my daughter. If my Bella would have told that she does not wants to meet you or your family I would have not invited you. Also it may seem that I am agreeing for this arranged marriage, but the real decision lies with my daughter. So she is the one you need to convince because if she tells me that she is not ready for this marriage, I will decline this straight away." I heard Charlie forcefully stating to everyone in the room and at that point of time I loved Charlie a little bit more.
"Well thank you again for the clarification Charlie and let me assure you from my end that it may seem that I might be forcing my children to marry my chosen bride for them but the final decision always lies with my children as it is their life." Carlisle assured Charlie.
"Now since all heavy talks have been done and both Charlie and Carlisle played their parts of protective daddy, lets introduce ourselves to our hosts, eh?" Aro exclaimed theatrically lightning the sombre mood below. "Aro I already know you, as you are my friend or have you forgotten that in your excitement." Charlie chuckled.
"Oh Charlie, I was talking about the Cullens. Now as you already know Carlisle, the beautiful lady sitting next to him is his wife Esmeralda Cullen…" Aro started but was quickly interrupted by a soft and soothing voice "It's Esme, Aro how many times I have told you, its Esme not Esmeralda." "Ah, Esme you know me, I may have started forgetting things in my old age." Aro stated. "Aro; you and old! You must be joking! Aro…" again Esme started but was interrupted by Carlisle saying, "Esme, love if I let you and Aro continue, you both will continue this till the end of the day and still it would not reach any conclusion and Aro I know you just love theatrics but it would be best if I take over the introduction. Charlie as already introduced this is my wife Esme, the big muscle man sitting over there is my eldest son Emmett, the blond sitting next to him is his wife Rosalie and the little girl in between is my granddaughter Misty, but they both like to be called Em and Rose. Next the shaggy blond man is my middle son Jasper and the brunette sitting with him is my other daughter in law Alicia, but again they both like to be called Jazz and Alice. The last is my youngest son Edward but he unlike others likes to be called Edward."
"Also I along with my sons, are doctors and we work in Seattle General Hospital. I am a neurosurgeon, Emmett a physiotherapist, Jasper a psychologist and Edward a paediatrician. My wife along with my daughter-in-laws works with several charities and also are department in chief for the magazine 'The Twilight'" Carlisle informed all of us about his family.
I mentally captured the features mentioned which would help me identify the Cullens, last night I did study them on Google but still it was good to know who was who so I do not make a fool of myself. I was just wondering that everyone in Cullen family likes to shorten their name but not Edward; he likes to be called Edward, was there any reason to it or it's just he likes his name more.
I was just wondering about Edward's so mentally engrossed that I almost missed Charlie saying, "Well nice to meet all of you. Now since we are done with the introduction of the Cullens, let me introduce you to my family…" and my heart beat sped up.

Cliffy… I know, I know its evil. But believe me next chapter Bella will definitely meet the Cullens and Edward. And also there will be Edward and Bella interaction so stay tuned.
Also I know in books Alice is always called Alice but I wanted a bit different because all of the twilight characters have a name which they shorten so I wanted to give Alice the same courtesy.
Also reviews may make me post a bit faster, ***hint, hint***
