"I'm so sorry Bella. Can't believe I let it happen again. I thought I was in better control. I am so sorry, please forgive me."
I strained my neck to see where the apology came from. What were they apologising for. I was the one that slipped and hit my head. Turns out Bella may not be the only one that got the clumsy gene.
Bella stood from Edwards lap and started to walk towards the blond boy in the corner, his head bowed between his knees, obviously trying not to cry. What ever it was he was so seemed remorseful. Bella was half way towards the boy when Edward wrapped his arms round her waist and whispered something in her ear, the enormous guy and blond man took a stance between Bella and the boy in the corner. This relationship between Edward, Bella and these men is weird, and I know weird.
Bella turned to look Edward in the eyes "Edward. Just let me please. It will be okay and besides you will know if anything is going to happened" she pleaded standing on her toes, she kissed him on the forehead and followed by one on his check, then neck, then lips, wriggled her way out of his hold, completed the distance across the room and knelt down next to the blond in the corner.
"Jasper, as I said last time and I will say it again now. There is nothing to forgive."
"I let my weaknesses nearly harm you and your family. You know I would have done anything to....to..... even I it meant harming you. Look what it did to you and Edward last time. It was entirely my fault, I should...."
Running her fingers through his hair and lifting his face "What happen to me last time was Edwards fault for being so stubborn. I know that, Edward knows that, your whole family knows that, heck even the pack unwillingly knows it."
"But...."
"No buts Jasper. It happens OK, it does not mean you are weak. I will keep repeating it until you understand; it is not you fault, and never will be. We both know I will be worse when if the time comes, and Edward, Emmett or you won't be able to hold me back. So stop beating yourself up and come join us."
With that Bella strode back to Edward and retook her seat in his lap as Japer joined the blond man on the lazy boy, sitting on the arm rest. Looking at straight at me and Dean she opened her mouth.
"Sam, Dean. This is my boyfriend Edward, his father Carlisle and brothers Emmett and Jasper." Pointing to each of us them she said their names. "Edward and his brothers are adopted by Carlisle and his wife Esme along with Alice and Rosalie. Carlisle is a doctor at the hospital in Forks, Edward goes to school with me, Emmett is at collage and Jasper is taking a year of before he heads to collage." Turning to look at the others that filled the room "Boys this is Sam, my twin, and Dean, my pain in the arse big brother. Sam and Dean are currently traveling to country doing odd jobs. My father John is Charlie's brother. When my mother died he sent me to live with Charlie. I lived with Charlie and Renee until they separated, where Renee took me to live with her, claiming that Charlie did know anything about raising children, let alone a girl. They treated me like their own child, so since I was with them at such a young age I started to call them Mum and Dad. It's a bad habit that I can't drop and it just easier to let people think they want rather then having to go into the whole family history. When I was about 10 John took me back after feeling like he had neglecting his fathering duties to his only girl. I lived with them until our father died just over 2 years ago when Sam and Dean sent me to Forks to live with Charlie." Taking a breath she concluded the introductions "I think I've covered about everything. Any questions"
We sat for all sat for a minute trying to wrap our head around her long winded formalities of the surrounding people. It was so brief and lacked details but yet so precise, almost like it had been rehearsed on more then one occasion. Edward was the first firing questions with frustration and anger in his voice but sorrow and love evident in his eyes
"You have been lying to me this whole time. You know all about my family, and I know nothing of yours apparently. Not only do you have brothers but a twin. Let alone a dead father and mother. What made you think that you had to keep this from me Bella."
"Later." Was her only reply.
"No now Bella. Before you did a runner I was going to ask you to marry me then you can truly become a Cullen, but you don't even trust me."
"Edward it's complicated. I will explain it to you I promise, just not right now."
With no reply from Edward tears welled up in Bella's eyes. "Edward listen to me when I say I will tell you later, just now, with everything going on I can't. In the last few weeks I have been wishing I was your wife and none of this was happening, but it is and I wish I hadn't lied to you about my heritage but you wouldn't want to know me otherwise. You have all of my heart Edward and always will. You are able to walk away if you please just know I love you." By the end of the speech Bella was fully in tears. Pulling her closer, Edward kissed the top of her head "I know love, and I'm not going anywhere but we need to talk once we get home. And nothing you say will change the fact you just agreed to be my fiancé and you are becoming part of our family."
Standing from his place on the bed Dean looked like furious "Bella now isn't exactly the most appropriate time to get engaged. What about what we talked about. Are you just going to skip off in the sunset leaving me and Sam with no hope in hell?" Snorting at the last comment Dean glared in my direction. Defending myself "What you said was rather ironic." "Hell isn't something to joke about Sammy." "Yeah you should no Dean." Striding over to me, fists closed with white forming on the knuckles, Bella quickly took a spot between us trying to break up the fight to be. Hell was a sore topic for Dean and tension had been rising between us for the last few weeks, I had finally had enough. He had waited for Lilith to come to us rather then hunting her down like I had wanted and now we were sitting ducks.
"Sam. Dean. Stop this now. We still have company."
Forcing Dean onto the bed "You are such a fucken hypocrite Dean; you talk about it not being an appropriate time for me to get engaged. Well getting in a punch up with Sam is slight less appropriate at the moment. No I am not going to leave you Sam to do all the dirt work. God know if I did that I would only have a few months' tops before the shit really hit the fan. I meant what I said outside I just don't want it to be all doom and glom at the moment. I want something to look forward to just in case. A normal life. Damn it, is that so hard to understand."
The thought of a normal life cause Emmett, Dean and I chuckle. "Thanks I needed that. You always know how to put me straight Bels. Sorry aye man." Bella so has her big brother wrapped around her little finger. "I think being coped up in this hotel room lately has gotten to me. I'm going to get out of here for a while. Sammy, Bella up for a fed. I think I saw a half decent dinner down a few blocks away."
Groaning at the dreaded name Dean insisted on calling me. "Yeah, my constant tummy rumbling is implying it needs food. Bella you coming."
"No I Think I might just stay here. Bring me back something though aye"
Grabbing my wallet from the dresser Dean and I left leaving Bella and her family to be in peace.
EmPOV
Watching Dean and Sam leave the room we all turned and I scoped Bella into a hug with a smile spread across my face "You have interesting family dynamics Bella. I so can't wait for you to come part of our family. Can we have talks like this everyday? I mean it's only been three hours since I arrived and we have already had two near fights, you crying, Jasper sulking and Edward throwing a tantrum. And with you as a vampire it will be some much more riveting."
"Emmett if you don't put her down now you won't survive to see her becoming part of this family." Edward scolded.
Setting Bella down I scanned the room. I needed something to entertain me until Rose gets here. Rose with her long legs, blond wavy hair flowed from her head. The head that contained the flawless features of her perfect picture face. Her luscious full lips. Damn, what those lips could do to my....
"Emmett!!" exclaimed both Edward and Jasper.
"Dudes, but it been over 24 hours. You know what I'm like if I don't that arse at least once four times a day."
The mention of getting some action caused a red tinge to form on Bella's checks. Yep Edward is still not giving out. Poor girl, you can tell she so sexually frustrated. If only Edward would cut his 'we can't, I could kill you' crap, then he could maybe relieve her. Anybody knows if I was frustrated like that I would turn to anything with a hole in it. I'm surprised Bella hasn't already. Everybody knows Jacob would be more than willing to....
While of in my train of thought I hadn't notice Edward shifting Bella of his lap and striding over to me. "Cut it out now Emmett." "Or what my dear bro. You know if you parked the car in the garage every once in a while you wouldn't want to punch me at the moment because a; I never would of been thinking the previous and b; you wouldn't be such a old prude."
Edward's eyes turn black with anger and clenched his fist, quickly crouching ready for the attack ( it is fun to wind Edward up, not to mention too easy. Note to self: do it more often) that would most probably destroy the room (and we could have more interesting times explaining it to Bella's brothers) we growled at each other in unison.
"Edward calm down. Emmett stop winding Edward up. We are here trying to help Bella, not get into one of your petty arguments again." Carlisle ordered from his place, not moving his eyes from the TV in the corner. We sat down on opposite beds and Edward pulled Bella on his lap once again, he can so over do the hopeless in love, over protective boyfriend act sometimes.
Watching the TV in silence which was broken ever so often by a hiss from Edward, counteracted with a growl from me and a stern "Behave" from Carlisle, an hour past quite boringly.
"Shit Sam. That blond girl getting out of the red M3 out there, DAMN. That's all I can say. I would spend all my time in crappy motels if I got to tap that. And her friends aren't bad either. Wonder if they would join." Dean said while walking into the room with Sam in tow.
"Rosalie" was all I said before bolting out the door at human speed (Damn humans) with the full intent of whisking her of to a secluded location and making up for the last 27 hours, 19 minutes and 44 seconds at least twice. Or even three times.
