I do not own the Twilight characters…Stephanie Meyer does :(
Chapter 7: Parents Return
Bella's POV:
I awoke the next morning to the smell of pancakes. I cracked open my eyes and saw Edward sitting on my rocking chair with a tray full of pancakes and orange juice.
"Good morning Love" Edward said as he swiftly made his way toward the head of my bed.
"Morning," I mumbled reaching for the tray which he gladly surrendered.
"You have about an hour before we have to leave to take my car in" he informed me. I just nodded and continued stuffing my face.
"When are Carlisle and Esme going to get home?" I questioned.
"Probably around two," Edward responded taking my now empty tray, "you go get ready, I will wait for you downstairs" he said before kissing me and drifting out the door.
As I got dressed my mind wandered to Rosalie and her dyed hair and skin. She decided that she would try to dye her hair back to blonde, but Alice said she had a horrible vision about Rosalie's hair falling out. I'm still not entirely convinced the vision was real.
I quickly pulled on my shoes and hopped down the stairs. My toe caught on the second to last step and I went lunging forward, luckily Edward has fast reflexes or I would not be conscious right now.
We left the house and Edward went straight to the car while I locked the door.
"Six…I counted six," I laughed as we pulled onto the main road after leaving my driveway.
"Bella, please stop counting the number of people that are honking at your ridiculous paint job," Edward whined.
"Your just upset that six people have already honked and we hadn't even gotten to a main road…I'll let you know the final count when we arrive at the shop." I smugly stated.
Forty five minutes later we were standing inside the garage while the guys checked out the 'damage'.
BEEEEEEEP, "sorry I slipped," the man said as I tried to contain my giggles.
"One hundred and thirty two…oops make that three," I gasped out between laughs.
"Yeah laugh it up now, my car will be restored back to its former manly state in a matter of hours," he replied before pulling me toward the large waiting area inside the building.
"Bella, Love, wake up the car is finished."
"Hmm…oh Edward right car…finished. What time is it?" I mumbled through my sleep induced haze.
"Just a little after one, we have to get going if we want to be home before Carlisle and Esme" he said lifting me up from the chairs.
I must have fallen asleep somewhere between reading the People magazine and Entertainment Weekly. Gosh car garages are boring.
The ride home wasn't as entertaining as the trip there. But it sure was quieter. The ride seemed shorter and we were soon pulling into the Cullen's driveway.
When we got inside Emmett was playing Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey. He still hasn't asked for his old games back. Everyone else was sitting around on the couches.
Alice was flipping through one of her many catalogs, Jasper was oddly into Emmett's game, and Rosalie was pouting quietly in the corner of the couch.
The door opened as soon as Edward and I sat down next to Rosalie.
"Hey Kids we're home," Carlisle called from the front door.
"We're in the living room," we all replied.
Carlisle entered the room, followed quickly by Esme. They gazed around the room at us before finally landing open mouthed on Rosalie.
"How…what….never mind I don't think I want to know. At least the house is in one piece." Esme said trying to pry her eyes off Rosalie's freakish orange skin and green hair.
"Welcome home," we all chorused before erupting into obnoxious laughter.
"Umm yeah…glad to be home," they responded before disappearing up the steps with matching confused faces.
I don't think they will be leaving us again for a while I thought before snuggling back into the couch with Edward and the rest of my crazy second family.
