"What's wrong?" Edward asked me while we driving in his Franklin G Runabout. (A/N: Yes I looked that up and that was a car in the 1900's)

"I just think it's weird Esme wants to see us. I don't know what she's going to do." I said, fear hidden in my voice.

"Why is it weird?" He asked.

"Because. She never liked me and she never asked us to come over her house since we moved in with Rose." I stated.

"Maybe she's had a change of heart." He said, smirking.

"Oh yeah." I said, sarcastically.

"Hey you never know!" Edward laughed.

"Yeah you never know." I agreed with him.

The rest of the car ride, was dead silent. Until we pulled into Edward's house (house that he no longer live in). Alice was already out the door, hugging me.

"Bella I'm so glad you're back!" She squealed.

"Thanks." I smiled, and hugged her back.

"Eddie!" She screamed and hugged him.

"Alice, remember what I told you?" He growled.

"Oh yeah sorry. Edward." She giggled.

We walked into the Cullen's house, Esme with a bright smile on her face.

"Bella! How nice it is to see you!" She explained, hugging me.

"Nice to see you too." I said, unsure. When did she suddenly become so nice?

"Sit, please." Esme said, to Edward and I.

We sat down, and she started talking.

"I am terribly sorry for the way I acted towards you Bella. But, if Edward loves you and you love him I'm fully fine with you two being together." She smiled, genuinely.

Shock was on my face. Wow! Did she really just say that?

"Edward did you tell her yet?" She asked.

"Tell me what?" I asked confused. Still in a state of shock.

"Bella, please don't be afraid." Edward said, with a pained expression on his face.

"Why would I be scared?" I asked, laughing a little. What is up with these people today?

"Are you sure it's okay if we tell her?" Edward asked Carlisle.

"It's fine. She should know if you two are going to be together." Carlisle reassured him.

"Bella, we're vampires." He said, closing his eyes. Probably afraid of what my reaction would be.

"What!? Are you serious?" I laughed. Okay something was seriously wrong with these people today.

"Yes I am. That's why we have golden eyes and cold skin." He said.

"No this can't be true!" I explained, backing away from them.

"But it is. Please don't fear us, we won't hurt you." Esme said, trying to comfort me.

"Are all of you insane?" I yelled. I don't know what over came me, it was probably the shock and disbelief.

"How can we show you that we are real vampires?" He asked.

"Bite me." I muttered under my breath.

"I will not bite you!" Edward yelled, hurt in his tone.

"Why not? Wouldn't that be the only way to show me you're really a vampire?" I asked.

"No! I could show you by drinking animal blood." He said.

"What would that prove?" I questioned.

"I thought it would prove something! How can I prove to Bella that we're vampires?" He asked Carlisle.

"Take her hunting with us." Carlisle suggested.

"No that would be too gruesome for her. I don't want her to see that." Edward sighed.

"No, it's fine. If it's the only way to show me that you truly are vampires, than fine." I said.

(Out in the woods)

I saw them as each and everyone of the Cullen's grabbed an animal and fed off of it. Edward, got a big mountain lion. Alice, got a goat. Rosalie, got a deer. Emmett, got a grizzly bear. Esme and Carlisle both got deer. I watched as their lips moved in sync, while eating - sucking the blood out of the animals. They didn't even make a mess! They're shirts were clean, like they were never touched.

"Now do you believe us?" Edward asked, coming closer to me.

"Yes." I said, in a meek voice. Why aren't I afraid? Shouldn't I be?

"I'm sorry you had to see this."

"It's fine. It was the only way." I verified.

"I truly am sorry that I was such a mean bitter woman to you." Esme, smiled sweetly than hugged me.

"It's fine I understand." I smiled back at her.

"What about you two move back in here?" Esme offered.

"Bella would you like to do that?" He asked.

"You won't have to be a maid, just a part of our family." Esme said.

"Sure." I smiled, hoping that Esme wouldn't turn back to the bitter woman she was before.

A/N: So how did everyone like it? Good, bad, okay???? I tried my best, to make it not boring. But, it probably turned out boring! Sorry ): Maybe we could try for 75 reviews? Thanks!!!! I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter!!!!
