A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! I'm sorry I haven't updated in such a long time. I had my finals and so that took up most of my time but I'm free now so hopefully I'll be updating a lot more often. Also I don't know if Esme, Edward, and Carlsile ever did live in Alaska but in this story they did lol. This chapter is mostly fluff so enjoy and happy fluffy none dramatic chapter :) On with the fluffy chapter:
The next few minutes went by as a blur as they left the airport, went to the rent-a-car place and finally headed for their new home.
Finally they arrived at this three story building mansion.
"Wow, where are we?" Bella asked.
"This is your new home?" Carlisle answered.
"Why here, Carlisle?" Edward asked.
"Well, it was still open so I figured we'd move back."
"Wait, move back? You guys have lived here before?" Alice asked.
"Yeah, when it was just Edward, Esme, and I we moved here."
"Why such a big house for only three people?"
"Uh…well…"
Esme and Carlisle chuckled.
"It was right after Carlisle and Esme got together and Carlisle was in his 'I have to spoil her' phase so he brought this huge house." Edward said.
"What do you mean was in, he is still in that phase." Esme teased.
Everyone laughed.
"Edward, Esme, Carlisle good to see you."
Bella gasped quickly and hid behind Edward not knowing who that random voice belonged to. Everyone turned to see a man about 5ft with brown eyes and ginger hair walking over to them.
"Mark, it's good to see you again." Carlisle said.
The two men shared a hug.
"Esme, still just as beautiful." The man, Mark said.
They hugged too.
"Edward, good to see you." Mark said shaking Edward's hand.
"You as well Sir." Edward said.
"Still just as polite as I remember."
Mark noticed Bella peeking her head out from behind him.
"Who is that little cutie?" he asked.
Bella whimpered and hid her face.
"That's Bella, she's the newest addition to our family. She's real shy especially toward strangers." Carlisle explained.
"She's human too?"
"Yes."
"You're a vampire?" Alice asked.
"Yes…"
Bella whimpered and clung to Edward.
"Bella was a…well a gift from Aro. He had taken her from an abusive family and fed off her treating her like a dog."
"Aro is a monster." Mark said.
"Yeah, we've been helping her heal but she still has a fear of most vampires."
"I understand that. I see Bella isn't the only new one in your family."
"Oh yes, Rosalie, Emmet, Jasper, and Alice." Carlisle said pointing to them.
"You've got quite the family Carlisle, it's good to see you so happy."
"Not to be rude but who are you?" Rosalie asked.
Mark laughed. "Sorry, my name is Mark Kane."
"He and I have been friends for….well since I was first changed into a vampire." Carlisle said."When, Esme, Edward, and I first moved here, he helped us get settled."
"It's good to have you back. The house is just as you left it. Go on inside, I made sure the heater was on so it would be warm in there….not that it would matter."
"Thank you."
Everyone went into the house. Bella stayed close to Edward's side. The house was huge.
Wow, I'm going to get so lost in here.
Edward chuckled at Bella's thoughts.
After looking around everyone picked a room and unpacked. Bella was ready to start her new life with the Cullen's only this time her father wasn't going to stop her. She was ready to begin her life here in freezing Alaska.
Everyone settled in quickly and easily felt at home. Even Bella felt more at home in this new house. She got even closer to Edward making her true feelings for him even stronger. He stayed the night with her more often so she had less nightmares. She continued to hang with Carlisle when the others went hunting and started trusting him even more. She eventually found her way around the house without getting lost. She knew if she really wanted to move on from what her father did to her she had to tell Edward her true feelings….but how?
One afternoon Esme and Bella were home alone, everyone else was out hunting. Bella knew this would be the perfect time to ask Esme about Edward.
She went into the living room where Esme was sitting by the fire reading.
"Mama Esme, can I talk to you for a second."
She felt weird calling Esme mom, like she was replacing her real mother and so she and Esme agreed on Mama Esme.
Esme set down her book. "Sure, sweetie. What do you need?"
"I…I think maybe I…I think maybe I'm in love."
"Well that's normal, and nothing to be embarrassed about. Who are you in love with?"
"Um…well you see it's...it's um…..It's…it's…" Bella took a deep breath and let it out. "It's Edward."
"Why does that make you so scared?"
"Well…he's my brother isn't he?"
Esme began laughing. "Bella, in case you haven't noticed everyone in this family is paired up. Emmet and Rosalie, Jasper and Alice, Carlisle and I, if you love Edward and want to be romantically involved with him that's ok. I'll support you 100% I really think you should tell him."
"How?"
"Why don't you take him out, just the two of you and just tell him what you told me. I can guarantee Edward loves you back
"Really?" A huge smile appeared on Bella's face. "He really loves me back?"
"Yes, I'm positive."
"Thank you, Mama Esme."
They both shared a hug. Esme smiled. "They're close I can smell them. Now would be the perfect time to tell Edward."
Bella nodded and went down stairs just as they walked in.
"Hey Edward."
"Hey Bella."
Edward and Bella shared a hug.
"How was your time with Esme?"
"Good, we had a nice talk and well…I need to tell you something."
"Is everything ok?"
"Yes, I just need to talk to your privately can we go down to the park."
"Of course, let me just change my shirt things got a little messy today."
She giggled at the thought of him sloppily drinking the blood.
Edward let her go and quickly went upstairs. Everyone else went to their rooms.
Edward came back down the stairs. "Ready?"
"Yes."
"OH MY GOSH!" Alice squealed from upstairs. In a flash she was at Bella's side. She screamed in shocked and jumped about a foot in the air.
"ALICE!" Edward growled. He looked to Bella who had turned white as a ghost.
"It's all right. You're safe." He cooed gently rubbing her back. He looked back to his sister. "What is your problem."
"I just can't believe it's finally here! I can't believe she's actually going to tell you. BELLA'S ACTUALLY GOING TO TELL YOU THAT SHE IS MADLY IN LOVE WITH YOU AND SHE WANTS TO BECOME YOUR GIRLFRIEND."
Bella gasped. Edward stood shocked. Tears filled Bella's eyes this wasn't how he was supposed to hear it. She ran back upstairs.
She ran into her bedroom and threw herself face down onto her bed crying in her pillow. Edward was never going to love her now. He was never going to want to be her friend either. He was going to send her back to Aro.
She felt someone rubbing her back and she knew who it was.
"Mama Esme, please don't let Edward send me back please."
"Edward isn't going to send you anywhere. He loves you. Please, sweetie sit up."
Bella sat up and looked at Esme. Esme gently wiped at her tears.
"Honey, just because the truth didn't come out the way you planned doesn't mean Edward doesn't love you anymore. He's always going to love you. He cares for you just like I do. Nothing you can ever do is going to change that."
"Bu-but I was supposed to…to tell him."
"You still can. Just talk to him."
Just then Edward appeared in the doorway. Esme kissed Bella on the head. "Talk to him." She nodded and Esme got up to leave. Edward sat down on the bed.
"I'm sorry about my sister. Do you still want to go out?"
"What's the point Alice already told you."
"She did?"
Bella looked confused. "You didn't hear her?"
"She's my sister I ignore her half the time. I didn't hear one word she just said."
Ok so it was a lie but Edward knew how important it was for Bella to be the one to tell him how she felt so he denied hearing his sister even though inside he was jumping for joy. He just hoped Alice didn't kill her confidence.
"Can we still go out, I'd really like to hear what you have to say."
Bella smiled. "Ok."
Edward stood. "Hop on and I'll introduce you to spider monkey."
Bella giggled and hoped onto his back. He took off out the window and jumped from tree to tree loving the sound of Bella giggling insanely.
Finally he landed on the ground behind some trees at the park. He let her slid off his back. He took her hand and led her over to the park bench. The both sat down.
"So…what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Edward…did you ever think about what was going to happen when I healed?"
"What do you mean?"
"Like once I healed from all the abuse and stuff I went through with Aro, did you ever think about what was going to happen to me?"
"Of course, lots of times."
"What did you see happen?"
"You going to school, meeting new friends…that kind of stuff."
"Did you ever think about me getting a boyfriend?"
"Sometimes."
"Did…did you ever see yourself as my boyfriend?"
"Lots of time why?"
"Edward I…" Bella took a deep breath and let it out. "Edward I love you."
Edward smiled and leaned in gently pressing a kiss to Bella's lips before pulling away. "I love you too Bella."
"SO…what happens now?"
"Well…now I have a question to ask and I hope you say yes."
"What is it?"
"Will you be my girlfriend Bella Swan?"
"I'd be honored Edward Cullen."
She giggled and they shared another kiss on the lips only this time she kissed back. Edward started kissing all over her face making her break into giggles.
"What are you giggling about huh?" he teased. "What are you giggling about?"
"Edward that tickles!" she giggled.
He just smirked and continued to kiss all over her face as he gently knocked her backwards and started to tickle her sides. She laughed harder and started to squirm around on the bench. The tickles on her side were bad enough but now he also tickling her with his kisses she was going nuts. She wanted him to stop tickling but keep kissing but mostly she wanted to be able to kiss back. He was driving her crazy and she couldn't handle anymore.
"Edward stop it!" she burst out.
He chuckled. "Nope, not unless you say the magic words."
"What…they?" Bella gasped out breathless.
Edward laughed and stopped letting her catch her breath.
"The magic words are 'Edward is the greatest, hottest, sexiest, best boyfriend in the whole world.' If you say that I'll stop tickling you. If you refuse to say them…well I think you know."
She smiled at him and said "Nope!" she rolled off the bench landing on her feet and stood up. She took off running. Edward chuckled. They both knew he could easily catch up with her but he decided to let her have her fun so he ran at human speed after her. They both laughed and laughed as they ran around the park.
Finally Edward decided to gain speed and catch her. He grabbed her around the waist and spun her around making her laugh harder. He set her on her feet and they were both breathing heavy as they stared lovingly into each other eyes. They leaned in and kissed each other on the lips.
"I love you Bella."
"I love you too Edward."
Now that the truth was out Bella really could focusing on healing from the past and starting a new life away from her father.
A/N all right so now I need your guy's help. How many filler fluff chapter do you want? Should I just leave this one and start the drama in the next chapter or have one-two more fluff chapter where Bella becomes friends with the other Cullen kids? It's up to you. So leave a review and tell me which you want me to do. Thanks for your help :)
