All right, I now know where my story is going!! I would have done chapters from the three months that passed but it would have been very boring and the same as the last few. I do have a few surprises in store, and hopefully some attempts at humour will be made!!

EdwardMyDarkAngel

Bella's POV

I can't believe it's been three months. Three amazing months since I met the Cullen's. Three amazing months since Edward came into my life.

We, Edward and I you; hardly said our names separately anymore, it was always Edward and Bella, or Bella and Edward. We were walking down the immense drive towards the Cullen's house and I had been told that all of them had a surprise waiting for me, and for once I actually wanted to know what the surprise was. Normally I don't care about them that much but this time I couldn't wait.

We entered the house, hand in hand and everyone was gathered in the living room to greet us. We sat down and Carlisle stood up to begin speaking.

"Well Bella, we've gotten to know you rather well over these past three months, and we hope you have grown to know us with the same amount of intimacy. It is always a pleasure having you here and we would be most definitely pained if you were to ever leave us, or we you. So we feel, therefore, that it is only fitting to ask you to join our household, from now until you feel it is time for you to leave. Of course we respect that you may not want to, but if you did we would be happy for you to stay with us for eternity." Carlisle finished his speech and sat down.

Esme stood up then and continued, "Now dear, don't think we're pressuring you into something you don't want to do. We would be quite happy for you to live with us, and we would also be quite happy if you said you needed time to think about it, or that you wanted your own space. We would of course accept that, but you could always be a part of our coven, just living a little while away from us. You could keep your house in Fork's but we would be here to help you with anything you needed, protection, money, anything you needed." Esme sat down next to Carlisle and I looked around the others. They were all nodding and Alice was bouncing up and down in her seat so hard, that she was probably going to break the chair if she wasn't careful.

I looked at Edward but his face was set in his calm and cool façade. But I knew Edward better by now; it was a bonus of not having to sleep. I knew what he was thinking. The light pressure on my hand, the way his eyes were gazing right into my eyes, he wanted me to come and live with them. He really wanted it!

I stood up and looked around the room, not giving anything away with my face. Alice of course already knew the answer and I tried to keep my emotions under control, Jasper probably had enough excitement from Alice, he didn't need any extra from me. "For me to come and live with you, you don't know what you're asking. It's too much. . . I'm a terrible person to live with, I'd probably end up driving you away from me, especially Emmett," I winked over at him and he grumbled something about not really believing me, just playing along. I looked at Edward and I could see the slight, almost non-existent flicker of pain in his eyes. "You're doing me such an honour, and giving me such a privilege I can't do anything but accept, you could always kick me out if I get too much. I would love to, no that's not right, be honoured to live here with you," and with that Alice jumped on top of me from the sofa. I was thrown backwards and I very nearly hit the wall, however I flipped both myself and Alice upright and tried to manoeuvre away from the wall. I did it but only just.

"Sorry, I think I nearly broke your wall," I said sheepishly and Esme just burst out laughing, I joined in a couple of seconds after, and I felt better than I had in years.

After I had hugged everybody and laughed at a few jokes at my expense, I turned to Edward. He held out his hand and I took it and we walked out of the house, and down the drive.

"I'm really happy you'll be staying with us, I wasn't sure you would accept," he turned to look at me and gave me his crooked smile, but there was something different, he had a twinkle in his eye and it took my breath away.

"It's my pleasure, when am I meant to move in?" I didn't know if I could bear to wait.

"Well, I think Esme already has your room ready, so you could move in now if you wanted?" It came out as a question.

"I'd love to, would you come with me, I have some stuff I need to pick up, and I can move the rest of it tomorrow."

"I'd love to," and he picked me up and ran with me slung over his back. I giggled, it was nice to feel like someone was always trying to do whatever they could for you, and it was a new feeling.

We reached my house and he never put me down. He walked into the house, and walked round the rooms. He asked me what I wanted to take now, and I asked him if I could eventually bring all of my belongings to his house. Our house he reminded me, and yes, that was the general plan. So I told him we could take all my stuff in two trips if we each carried a few boxes, and he said that I wouldn't be carrying anything, I should pack it up and he'd carry it back while I packed the next load of boxes. I tried to protest but he wouldn't listen

"Remember I never got to do something I wanted to without you arguing, so this is it," and I had nothing to say to that. He was right; three months ago I had practised my shield and driven there, and got my race and got to know his family. He however had taken me to the meadow and driven me back.

I started packing all my stuff into boxes and about two of them were full of music, and another two just full of books. Edward came and went and soon the last load of boxes was packed. The apartment looked bare, and I stepped into my bedroom for one last look at all that I had done. I was waiting for Edward to come back and then we could leave. He had already taken the couch that I loved dearly, although I told him I didn't need it, and he insisted on taking it, saying that I should have it anyway.

I heard the front door creak open, but it was just Edward so I went on staring at my room, until a chilling voice made me whip myself around to face her.

"Long time no see, Bella," she said.

"I could say the same for you, Jane," and there she stood, all of the worst memories I had from my years with the Volturi came rushing back, but I suppressed them, I could deal with them later. I just hoped that Edward didn't come in anytime soon.

"What do you want Jane?" I glared at her and she just smiled.

"Aro sent me," she answered simply, but that's not what I wanted to know.

"What did he send you for, Jane?" I asked as bluntly as I could, already tired of her games.

"He sent me for you, dear Bella," and she laughed maliciously.
