The Cullens

EPOV

She fell asleep right away. Her heart beat was music to my ears. She still loves me like I love her. I'm with her again. My deepest wish has come true. Bella wants to be turned into a vampire. No matter how much I wish not to take her life I want to spend the rest of eternity with her. I sighed. And she calls me stubborn. I laughed silently to myself. I heard footsteps.

Bella has been sleeping for quite a while. Its almost one. I should check on her.

I got out of her embrace and went to hide in her closet. I heard the door creak open. I peeked through the little opening of the door. Charlie came in and covered Bella with the blankets.

She looks a lot better now. I hope she gets back to her usual self. She told me her friend visited her yesterday I hope she comes again, looks like it did her some good. She practically got all her color back.

I heard him sighing and looking at the floor. I looked over to the floor. The floor board was ripped off, the exact spot where I hid her presents and the pictures. She probably tripped over it and it tore off. I laughed to myself quietly.

I'll have to fix that later. I'll let her sleep. Sleep well Bells. "I love you" he said out loud.

He looked at her one more time before walking out. I got out of the closet. I went by her bed just to look at her. Her color was back, the bags under her eyes were not prominent, and her cheeks had pink in them. I smiled, coming back was the best thing to do and leaving was the worst. I lay on top of the sheets to not let her get cold and merely stroked her cheek. She smiled and said, "Edward, I love you." She wrapped her arms around me. I pushed her hair back to whisper in her ear, "I love you more." she smiled wider and lay her head on my chest, breathing evenly. I lay my head on hers, completely content.

I woke up to a heady scent. I smiled knowing it was Edward. I hugged him tighter, he chuckled and said, "Good evening." Huh? Evening? What time is it? I looked over at he clock it read 6:43 pm. I groaned, "Edward why didn't you wake me up?" I sat up.

"Because you need to sleep Bella." he answered. "I know you haven't been sleeping well."

"But I wanted to go see yo-our family."

"We can go right now if you like, its not like they sleep or get tired," he said with a smile.

"Ok let me have one human minute," I said

"I'll be here."

I smiled and got up and raced to the bathroom grabbing my toiletries along the way. By the time I was in the hall way I doubled back to grab some clothes to change into. I smiled at him before leaving again. I stood in the hot shower letting the hot water relax my muscles. I grabbed my favorite strawberry shampoo and massaged my scalp as I weave my fingers through my hair. I finished up and got out of the shower. I changed and combed my hair for what seemed to like be the first time in months. I brushed my teeth and ran to my room. He was still there waiting for me with open arms. "Ready to go?" he asked.

"What about Charlie?" I asked.

"He went fishing earlier. He was so tired he went to sleep right before you woke up," he answered.

I smiled before saying, "Lets go then."

He grabbed me and put me on his back before he jumped out my window and started running. I missed this feeling. Even though it made me sick I still missed the speed. I closed my eyes before I got nauseous. In seconds we arrived at his house. Alice was right there waiting for me at the entrance, jumping from excitement. I got off Edward's back and held his hand, I didn't want to separate from his side. Alice greeted with a big hug and pushed me inside. Everyone was gathered around. The way I remembered them didn't do them justice. Esme was the first to greet me.

"Bella, its so good to see you again. We've missed you so much," she said.

"Hi Esme. I've missed you all as well. It wasn't the same here in Forks," I replied. Then it was Carlisle.

"Bella how have you been? I'm so glad to see you. I hope your staying for a while," he said.

"I sure am Carlisle. I hope that's ok," I told him. "Of course it is," he answered. "This is your home too Bella."

Emmett came up from behind me and picked me up spinning me around giving me a bear hug. "Hey Bella, did you miss me?"

I couldn't help but laugh. When he finally put me down I told him, "Of course I missed you Emmett. I need to have my big brother around." He smiled at that and spun me again. "Emmett I'm getting dizzy here," I exclaimed. "That's the point little sister."

Jasper kept his distance but welcomed me back just the same, "Hi Bella, its great to see you again. This family hasn't been the same since we left. Especially Edward."

Edward came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I smiled and leaned into him. I saw Rosalie leaning against the wall on the other side of the room. She glared at me and ran off. "Don't worry about her. She'll come around," Edward whispered in my ear. His breath tickling my neck. I don't think Rosalie will ever like me. I sighed before turning my attention to my new family.

"Well me and Esme have to get your dinner ready Bella, so see you in a bit," Carlisle said.

"That's really not necessary Carlisle," I exclaimed.

"Of course it is," said Esme. Then they both walked to the kitchen.

"I'm going to go talk to Rose. Try to talk some sense into her," said Emmett.

I just nodded, not knowing what to say. I turned my head and saw the piano. "Edward?"

"Yes Bella?"

"Will you play for me?" I requested.

He smiled before saying, "Of course." He took me to the piano where he sat me down next to him. He started playing my lullaby. I rested my head on his shoulder. Alice came behind me and put her hands on my shoulders and listened to Edward play. After a few songs the family gathered around the piano. I looked around at my new family. I smiled at them, I couldn't ask for a better family.

I felt Alice stiffen behind me. I turned around to see her. Her eyes had this far away look about them. I knew that look: she had a vision. I turned to Edward, there was a smile playing on his face. I turned back to Alice she was smiling too.

"This reunion calls for a celebration," she said. She was jumping up and down in excitement.

I was thinking "Oh no." That usually means one of Alice's parties. Which means she is going to play "Bella Barbie." I was thinking the worst scenarios in my head.

"Cool what are we going to do to celebrate then," said Emmett.

"Our favorite thing to do when the weather is like this or going to be," exclaimed Alice.

Everyone was smiling now, even Rosalie. But I still didn't have a clue what they were talking about. I looked out the window. It looked like it was going to rain tomorrow. What could they possibly do in a thunder storm? Then it clicked in my head.

"Baseball anyone?" Edward said. I laughed, it was good to have them back.
