Bella POV
Forks, Washington
After school I ran into Alice's arms. I had my first date ever. I couldn't wait.
"Alice will you give me a makeover before Edward comes over?" I asked for the first time ever.
"I would be delighted to help you get ready for your date." Alice said, happy to see me so happy.
"I am so excited. Can we go home now?" I asked, needing my mother.
"Sure Bella." Alice told me.
When we got home I ran inside to see mum, I needed her help.
"Mum do you remember how to cook? I remember a little bit. I would like to cook Edward a mushroom risotto and simple dessert for us to enjoy." I said all in one breath, sounding a little like Alice.
"I would love to help to make a dinner for your date, tell me about him." Mum said, eager to help me in any way she could.
"He is about 6'3", he has the most fascinating color of bronze hair and the most bewitching dark emerald eyes." I told her, thinking about his stunning face as I described him.
"He sounds perfect for you little one. I can't wait to meet him." Mum said with a serene smile.
Friday came fast, Edward and I had spent all the possible time that we could between our classes together. When the end of school came, I was eager for our date to start.
" I am really looking forward to tonight." I said, as I stood on my toes and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Bye Edward." I said, wishing it was later already, I couldn't wait.
"See you later my Bella." Edward said, letting me know that he was as eager as I am for our date.
He gave me a kiss on the cheek, that I could still feel when I was preparing his dinner.
I was in the kitchen with mum, Rosalie and Alice talking about Edward and I. I told them about the kisses.
"Bella, Carlisle and I would like to know if you feel any burning in your throat when you are near him." Mum asked hopefully.
"No I don't feel any burning at all whenever I am with him." I told her honestly, I knew they were worried about my bloodlust kicking in, as I had never let anyone this close to me before. It could be very risky for the family.
Alice looked me over.
"What does it feel like when you kiss?" Alice asked, curiously as her mate was a vampire when she first kissed him.
"It feels like I am complete and that nothing can go wrong." I was thinking of a life with him, when I heard Alice gasp.
"Bella, I was getting a vision. Whatever you were thinking about, decide one way or the other please." Alice said, wanting a clearer picture.
"Okay Alice." I started to think about how I could convince Carlisle to help me change him so that I could keep him. I just knew I needed Edward with me always.
"Oh Bella, is that what you really want above all else?" Alice said, it sounded like she would cry if she could.
"Yes Alice, why what have you seen?" I asked, needing to know.
"Well, I have seen you get your wish. I don't see how it happens, but it happens soon. You need to go talk to dad when he is home. I think tomorrow would be a good day to go hunting with him." Alice informed me.
"Okay Alice, please keep this to your self" I begged her.
"I will Bella." Alice promised, with complete conviction in her voice.
When it was time for Edward to arrive, everyone wanted him to get here safely so Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie had all gone to watch and follow, to make sure that he made it to the house safely.
I heard him pull up and went to open the door for him. He looked so cute wearing black jeans and a long sleeved shirt that he had rolled up to reveal his forearms. Damn he looked good!
"Hello Edward, how was you day after school?" I asked, needing to know how he fared without me near.
"It was as good as it could be. I was missing you." Edward said, with a small pout playing at his lips.
"I was missing you too. Would you like to meet my family?" I asked him, eager for him to meet everyone.
"Yeah I can't wait, let's go." I grabbed his hand and pulled him into the lounge where everyone was waiting. The men were standing behind their mates. I had been stalling with Edward so that everyone could come back from watching Edward as he drove up.
I took Edward first to Carlisle and Esmé.
"Edward this is my mum and dad." Esmé looked at Edward and then gave him a big hug.
"Welcome to the family Edward, I hope you enjoy your dinner." Mum said, she was the epitome of a good hostess.
"Edward, welcome to my home." Dad said, shaking Edward hand.
"Thank you Carlisle." Edward replied politely.
We walked over to both Jasper, Alice and Emmett, Rosalie.
"Edward you know who these people are but please forget that so I can introduce you to my big brothers Emmett and Jasper and my big sister Rosalie, and Alice who is my little sister." I introduced everyone.
"Welcome little Bro, we are going to be the best brothers ever!" Emmett said, acting like the big kid we all know he is.
"It delightful to meet you Edward." Alice said, smiling a big, toothy smile.
"Welcome Edward." Jasper and Rosalie said at the same time, making everyone laugh.
Esme walked up to us.
"Edward you are welcome to look around the house." She said, wanting him to be comfortable in our house.
"Thank you Esme." He looked at me, he looked a bit worried.
"It's okay Edward, I won't be far at all. You are safe in this house, Alice is going to explode if I don't talk to her soon." I cupped his face for the comfort that he needed. "Edward puppy, I won't be far, if you need me call me and I will come." I encouraged him to explore.
"Okay my Bella." He walked away to look at the tv stuff. Alice bounded over and spoke to me in whispers that only I could hear.
"That is who all the male clothes I bought when we started school are for. I also see him as a vampire, I can't tell when it will happen, only that it will. You need to talk to Carlisle. He is your mate." She told me quickly and quietly so that only I would hear her.
"I will go hunting with him and talk to him tomorrow." I let her know that I understood why she was telling me this.
At a volume that Edward could hear I called to him.
"Our dinner is ready." I told him. Edward followed Carlisle into the dining room, where someone had placed two table settings so that we were sitting next to each other. There were also some lit candles.
"Edward are you ready to eat?" I asked him.
"Yes, I can't wait to taste the dinner that you have cooked for us to enjoy." Edward said with the utmost confidence in my cooking. Which I was not so sure where his confidence was coming from, as no one in this house had cooked human food in close to 90 years. It must be the security that your mate provides.
"Edward sit down and I will get us our dinner, what would you like to drink?" I asked, wanting to please him.
"Coke will be perfect, thank you." He said.
I went and got the drinks and risotto. Then went back into the dining room. As I left the kitchen I heard Alice whisper,"We are going now, have fun." She said, knowing I wanted to be alone with Edward for a little while.
"Thank you." I whispered back
"Here is you dinner, I hope you like it." I said a little nervous, as it had been a while since I had to make human food.
"Thank you Baby, where is everyone else?" Edward asked.
"They have gone out to leave us alone to enjoy our first date. I think dad and mum are upstairs in their room, just in case." I told him.
"In case of what?" He asked, not knowing just how bad things could go.
"If anything that might go wrong and to be good parents that they are, supervising teenagers in their house. Are you enjoying your dinner?" I asked, needing to know that his food is good.
"Yes it is excellent, thank you so much." We moved onto dessert, which was brownies. The night was perfect, we fed each other the brownies. After dinner I walked Edward out to his car. Being next to him out of the house was getting to be too much. I called out to dad, where he and mum would only be able to hear.
"Carlisle please come quick, I need help." I said a little frantically.
