Thanks for understanding, but more importantly, for reading! Please please PLEASE review at the end!

(Bella POV) Previously…
He pulled back, also laughing whilst I smothered his face with kisses.
He stood up, pulling me with him. His family surrounded us in a loose circle; each of them had a smile etched on their faces. I grinned back. Emmett stepped forward, slinging his arms carelessly around me and Edward.
"Welcome to the family, little sister!"
I grinned at my new family, my face aching from my ear-to-ear smile (literally!).
Suddenly, all seven of their heads sprung up, hearing a noise too faint and far-away for my weak human ears to pick up; A deep frown creased Carlisle' perfectly smooth brow.
"It seems that Mikes actions have caught the attention of the local police. We had better come up with a story; and quick." I was instantly panicking. What would Charlie say? Or rather, what would the whole police force say? Mike had just revealed his secret to half of Forks high school, endangering us all.
"If the Volturi hear about this…." Jasper muttered, distressed.
Esme's head snapped up at the mention of the Volturi. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she began to sob into her hands.
I looked at Edward, completely confused. Edward looked back, a black look in his eyes.
"The Volturi are literally vampire royalty. They… dispose of anyone or anything that threatens their existence, or expose there secret, which Mr Newton has just displayed so professionally. It wouldn't have worked better if he had turned into a vampire bat or combusted in the sun."
I looked at Edward, shocked.
"Do they… I mean… do vampires actually do that?" I whispered, wide-eyed. There was a moment of silence, then my new family burst into laughter. I crossed my arms and glared at them, mainly at Emmett who had just slapped Jasper on the back, then had fallen to the ground, rolling about with tears streaking down his face. Carlisle suppressed his own laughter and answered me calmly.
"No Bella, those are just silly myths, irrational stories humans made up for their own entertainment."
Suddenly there was a loud bang! And several fully armed police officers burst into the room, guns drawn and kitted out in full body armour. Silence was immediate.
