Okay. Tear.

I'm so sorry.

I haven't updated in like 4 weeks.

Well, if any of you have read my story Irresistible, you would know why.

I'm sorry if I've kept any of you waiting for so long.

Now, where were we?

Ah yes, meet the parents.

Chapter 7-

Rosalie looking a bit defensive-looking as if she would take a snap at my neck any second, Jasper was standing a bit farther back, there was a blonde male who looked a tad older than the rest, and there was a slightly older woman with silky, long, brown hair. But all of them, as expected, were breath-takingly gorgeous.

There was someone missing who I was looking for the second I stepped through that door-Edward.

But there was no thinking about him now-since he could probably hear my every thought.

"Hello everyone," I said, smiling slightly-still thinking about where Edward had gone to, not being able to resist his gorgeous face in my mind.

"It's nice to finally meet you. I'm Esme." She held out her cold hand. I took it, shivering a bit and Emmett's father offered his next.

"I'm Carlisle. We've heard so much about you." He smiled and shook my hand gently.

I mirrored his expression-unfortunately not looking as divine as him. "It's nice to meet you."

"Emmett," Esme began lovingly, "it would be appropriate for you to give Bella a tour of the house."

Emmett grabbed my hand, squeezing it a bit. "Yes, that would be the normal thing to do." Emmett chuckled.

He led me up the spiral staircase at a human pace and we made our way down the hallway.

Standing in one of the doorways, looking more godlike than ever, was Edward himself.

Emmett and Edward stared at each other for a few moments and different expressions were running through Edward's face-most of them were surprised.

Emmett's lips were moving face and he was murmuring something too fast for me to hear, as well as Edward.

"What's going on?" I finally said.

Emmett shot his head in my direction.

"Is it true Edward?" He said, looking back at his brother.

"Yes," Edward's velvet voice rang in my ears.

"Did you tell Carlisle?"

"No, not yet."

"Will someone please fill me in on something? Just because I'm not a vampire, doesn't mean you have to leave me out of everything." I, as well as Emmett and Edward, were surprised at how comfortable I was with the topic already.

Emmett sighed, slipping his hand around my waist. I heard Edward let out a small snarl. Emmett looked at him quizzically, then back at me.

But Edward was the one to answer. "Bella," Edward began and it made my heart flutter, "I can't…seem to-read your mind." He looked at me cautiously, waiting for me to snap.

"Oh," I sighed, relieved. "Why not?"

"I'm not sure," Edward looked back at his brother. Then his eyes widened. "Emmett, I just smelled her because she was new blood. Don't worry; I can control myself around her."

Emmett looked at him skeptically. "Don't let it happen again," he said fiercely.

Edward nodded, stole a glance at me, then retreated back to the room that I assumed was his own.

There was a short awkward silence.

"You want to see my room?" Emmett said, straightening his expression quicker than me.

"Sure," I smiled.

Emmett led me to a room that was adjacent to Edward's. Inside was a master bedroom, including a master bed-although I don't know why.

"I thought you couldn't sleep…" I asked suspiciously.

"Decoration," Emmett said, shrugging.

I giggled and sat on his bed, testing it out. I sunk into the mattress and nearly fell asleep sitting down. "Wow," I sighed.

Emmett sat beside me, taking me with him because of how much heavier he was than me. I toppled over him but he caught me by the waist and held me there, his eyes boring into mine.

He leaned in and kissed me sweetly. I didn't react much; it felt nice to have his cool lips drain the warmth out of my mouth.

He pulled away and sighed. "Ugh. I have to go hunting with Alice tomorrow."

I frowned, knowing I would have nothing to do considering it was a Saturday.

"For how long?" I asked.

He stroked my hand. "Maybe until Sunday. I haven't hunted for a while."

I pouted, letting my bottom lip push out.

Emmett chuckled and pecked it lightly.

I saw a dim light coming from my peripheral vision and looked over to see an alarm clock. It read 10:45.

"I think Charlie's going to be worried" I said hesitantly.

"I guess you're right," Emmett moped. "So much for the tour," he said smiling.

"Well, I enjoyed it just the same." I said with a toothy grin.

"Let's get you out of here," Emmett sniggered and brought me downstairs to find Alice and Edward at the bottom of the stairwell.

"You needed me," Alice said matter-of-factly.

"As well as I," Edward said.

"Yes," Emmett paused, "Edward, I need you to keep an eye on Bella this weekend. And to keep her company as well."

Edward seemed like he knew this was coming, I can figure out why. "Of course," he said softly.

Emmett turned to Alice. "Will he contain himself, Alice?"

Alice shrugged but her eyes seemed far away all of a sudden, as if her soul had left, but her body remained.

She blinked a few times and regained her posture. She turned to Edward to look at him wide eyed then looked back to Emmett. "Yes," she hesitated-shooting another quick glance at Edward, "they'll be fine."
