Chapter 10 – Bella POV

On our way home I called Carlisle, he picked up on the second ring. "Hello Bella. Is everything alright? You two are on your way home aren't you?"

"Hi Carlisle, everything is fine. Yes we are on our way home now; I would say we will be there in about ten minutes." I told him.

"Oh that's good to hear. Then may I ask what the purpose of this phone call is?" He asked

"Well I was wondering if you were home already." I told him.

"Yes I am. Do you need me to do anything for you?" He asked back.

"Well um I was wondering if we could have a family meeting. I have something I would like to talk to everyone about." I said back to him. All through this conversation Edward was squeezing my hand to give me confidence.

"I think we could do that. I would say that I would gather everyone but Alice seems to already beat me to that." He said with a chuckle.

"Thank you Alice." I said. I knew she would be able to hear me.

"You're welcome Bella. We'll see you in two minutes and twenty seconds." She yelled back from wherever she was.

"See you all in a few." I said and then hung up right as we turned into our driveway.

Edward parked in the garage; he got out and jumped over the car to open my door for me. I took his hand and we walked in the house. When we walked in everyone was sitting at the dining room table. Carlisle had left one of the seats at the one head of the table open for me and the chair that was next to it on the one side was for Edward. Carlisle was at the other head of the table with Esme next to him like Edward was for me. Rosalie sat next to Esme with Emmett on the other side of her and Jasper was next to him. Alice sat across from Esme while Jacob was next to her and then Renesmee was in between him and Edward. Edward already knew what I wanted to talk about since we discussed it during class. He was still holding my hand on top of the table for support.

"Thank you everyone for allowing me to take up some of your time this evening." I started. They all nodded and looked at me intently. "I wanted to talk about Debbie. Edward has informed me that she already knows what most of us are." I had to say that since she didn't know about Jacob or Renesmee yet. "He also told me that she wants to join our family when we move on, since she knows it will happen in a couple years." I said.

"Bella, I can tell you that she will join us when we move on. She will also become part of the family at that point too." Alice told me.

"I know what you're think Bella, and don't worry, I love her like a sister already and I look forward to her moving with us." Rosalie threw in.

It took me a couple seconds to collect myself from that shock. "Ok then, my next thing is about her joining our kind." I noticed Jacob stiffened. "Jake, I know that this goes against what you would like but that treaty is over remember. Besides no one is going to bite her, we already know that doesn't have to happen." Jacob loosened up a little bit but he still didn't look to happy. "Let me explain. I think she should become one of us if she indeed becomes part of our family. I already know none of us could stand to lose her, and having her around as a human for so long could end badly." They all shuddered, especially Jasper.

"Bella, I am so sorry about that. I don't think I could ever make it up to you. I am just so sorry." Jasper said putting his face in his hands. A wave of sorrow and regret came over us because that is what Jasper was feeling.

"Jasper I forgive you for that. How many times do I have to tell you that? I knew the risk that I put myself through, it was just as much my fault." I said.

Carlisle cut in to get back on topic. "I must say that I agree with Bella."

"I think we should offer it to her." Edward said.

"Definitely." Alice, Nessie, Esme, and Emmett all said together.

"Normally I would say no but I think it is a good idea." Rosalie said. Wow, that's all I have to say to that one.

"I can't argue with you guys. I guess I agree." Jacob said.

"Ok. It is agreed. I think we should talk with her about everything this weekend when she comes over." Carlisle said. Everyone nodded their agreement eagerly.

"Nessie, Jake, I think you two should head off to bed. You both look exhausted. Besides you both have to get up for school tomorrow morning." Esme said.

"You're right grandma, I am tired." Nessie said. She got up and went around giving everyone a hug and kiss, except for me and Edward, we were waiting by the door for her. "Goodnight all, love you." She said. "Come on Jake."

"I'll be up in a minute; I need to get a snack first." Jacob said heading for the kitchen.

"Come on sweetie, we'll walk up there with you. In fact I could carry you if you would like. I know you used to love when I did that and we haven't done that in a while." I told her.

"Really? I really do love when you do it. You would think I would have grown out of that." She said while her face lit up.

"Of course I will. I still like it when your father throws me on his back and runs even though I can run almost as fast as him. It is nice having something the same that happens all throughout life." I told her as I picked her up. "Ready?"

"Always am." She said. She placed her hand on my cheek and showed me other times that I have ran up the stairs with her and how exciting it is.

I took off with Edward right behind me. It took us five seconds to make it up the two flights of stairs and into her room. I placed her on the bed and Edward and I kissed her goodnight. We walked out of the room so she could get changed.

"Goodnight mom and dad. I love you so much." She whispered.

We heard her and both said, "Sweet dreams. We love you too, always."

Jacob was walking up the stairs to the third floor as we were walking down. "Goodnight Jacob." Edward said.

"Night guys." He said.

I pulled him into a hug. "Sweet dreams Jake." I said while releasing my hold of him.

As we walked downstairs to the main floor I noticed that Rosalie was in her room and Emmett was making his way there as well. Esme was in her study working on some plans for a house she was restoring. Carlisle was in the TV room reading a book while the TV was turned to CNN. Alice was on her laptop in the dining room and Jasper was reading while sitting next to Alice.

"Let's go for a walk." Edward said, leading me towards the back door. He already knew I would agree to anything with him. Once we were outside and the door was closed he threw me over his shoulder and took off. I couldn't stop giggling. When he stopped we were in our meadow.

Edward pulled me around to look him in the eyes, they were black with lust. "I… love… when… you… take… charge. You… look… so… sexy." He said while kissing along my neck and jaw then to my mouth.

"Oh really? I will have to remember that." I said while he laid me down, stripping me and then himself quickly.

After a couple hours we went home and met up with the rest of the family. We all chatted about school and a hunting trip that we would go on next weekend while Debbie was at her grandma's to spend time with her dad.

So my semester started today. I have the next couple chapters almost finished. I hope people like this story. I really am not getting feed back so I don't really feel the draw to post new chapters even though I am going to continue to write it. I will post the next couple chapters within the next week and see what happens.
