Chapter 10: What it's like to have a mother

BPOV

We arrived back to Edwards's house. His family was in the kitchen making dinner. Edward was holding on to my waist as we walked through the door and headed to the kitchen.

"Where here." Edward announced.

Esme looked up at us she was looking at her son, she looked so happy.

"Great!" she said "Edward I am making your favorite tonight Chicken Marsala. The Salad stuff is over there, you know what to do."

Edward let go of my waist and walked over to the counter. Once again I was watching this TV family prepare a meal in sync in silence. Rose and Alice setting the table, Carlisle stirring sauce, Emmett testing the ingredients and add Edward to the mix, it was just perfect. I stood leaning against the door way smiling.

"Mrs. Cullen?" I asked. "Is there any thing I can do to help?"

Even though I had been told more than once to call her Esme, I kept calling her Mrs. Cullen. I did not want to disrespect her even though I knew it was not.

"Bella" Esme started walking towards me. "Call me Esme please, you are part of this family." She lightly touched my nose.

"Sorry Esme, is there any thing I can do?" I asked.

"You can come help me with the salad." Edward looked up at me and smiled.

"There you go, perfect, help with the salad." Esme looked at me smiled and again mouthed "thank you"

She kept thanking me and I felt like it was me who needed to constantly thank her.

I walked over and started to help Edward, I washing the lettuce, he was cutting the tomatoes. It was perfect. The last month has been perfect and I finally felt like I found a place where I belong.

Dinner was delicious; I know why Chicken Marsala was Edwards favorite Esme was an awesome cook.

After dinner we went to the family room Esme and Carlisle had plans to go out for drinks with some friends. So Alice had suggested we watch a movie. Of course we could not agree on anything. We finally end up watching Cloverfield.

After the movie, we stayed up talking till about midnight.

Rose and Emmett had decided to go to bed. Rose practically lived here with Emmett.

Alice walked Jasper out. Sometimes Jasper stays and sleeps on the couch but he decided to head home tonight so Alice walked him out.

Edward and I sat there on the couch I was cuddled up in his arms. I was so tired but I did not want to leave that spot.

Alice came back into the room.

"Edward Bella is mine for a few hours tomorrow, you have had her for far to long even before you guys went on a date, she was here for you more than me." She winked at me.

"OK I guess I can let her go for a few hours." Edward replied squeezing me a little tighter.

"Good night guys. Bella just crawl in to my bed when you come up." Alice told me walking away.

"Finally we are alone." Edward said brushing a light kiss on my hair I looked up from my very content spot our eyes met and we stayed there for a few minutes just gazing at each other.

I sat up and kissed him first it was just a normal kiss but then the passion that had been building between us through out the movie ignited and those kisses became intense, passionate and amazing. If it was not for the fact that we needed to breath, we would have kissed the rest of the night.

"I better get you up to bed Bella." Edward whispered.

"Just a little bit longer I am so comfortable here, I don't want to move just yet." Edward tightened his grip on me shifted the covers back over us and started to hum my lullaby.

His humming was so soothing that I was instantly asleep.

I woke up a little stiff but I could not believe what an amazing sleep I had.

Then I looked down and realized that Bella was still in my arms. We both fell asleep on the couch last night. I wondered why my parents did not wake us when they got home.

"Good morning handsome." Bella said sitting up giving me a kiss.

"Good morning." I replied through her kiss.

"Did you sleep comfortably?" She asked

I had the best night sleep but my face must not have told her that, I was a little sore the couch was defiantly not as comfortable as my bed but having Bella in my arms made it perfect.

Bella sat up on her knees motioned for me to turn around and she started to massage my shoulders and back. How more perfect could she get?

I let her continue for a little while, every once and while she would bend down and kiss my neck.

I could not help it any more, I wanted to feel her in my arms and kiss her. I turned around lifter her so she was straddling me and I started kissing her rubbing my hands up and down her back, her hands were placed on the front on my chest.

She opened her eyes and looked at me. "Sorry for the morning breath." She giggled.

I laughed at her grabbed her face in my hands "Bella are serious? Did you just mention your morning breath?" I started to laugh and she playfully shoved me. She got up and started to walk away but I grabbed her hand and pulled her back on my lap.

"I love your morning breath." I said playfully and started kissing her again

"AHEM" Bella jumped up off my lap and immediately started to blush.

"Bella, can I speak to you for a second?" My mother asked her

"Sure, Mrs. Cullen" she replied biting her lip.

My mom brought her to the hallway and they sat on the stairs. I snuck over to the door way leaned against the wall so they could not see me and listened.

"Mrs. Cullen I am so sorry we fell…." Bella started to explain but was stopped by my mom

"First honey, please call me Esme." My mom told her

"Esme." Bella said under her breath.

"Bella I am not mad at you, When Carlisle and I came in last night you were both on the couch sleeping and you looked so peaceful. We did not want to wake either one of you."

"Bella. Edward is very special to me. Don't get me wrong, I love all my kids equally but Edward has a special place in my heart. I am not sure if Edward or Alice told you, But Edward almost died on us as a child. He had severe pneumonia and the doctors told us he would not make it, but thankfully, god was on our side and he did make it, he is here with us today."

I could not believe my mom just admitted she like me better. I always new it was true. I smiled to myself. I wish Alice was here to hear this.

My mother continued.

"I have always wanted what is best for my son, Carlisle and I could not be happier with the fact that he wants to be a doctor. He has been so determined, so focused since his freshman year that he forgot how to be a teenager and enjoy his life. Oh Bella I wish you could have seen his eyes before you came into his life. They were so sad, but yet so determined, so tired and not my Edwards. But then you came into our world and his true eyes came back, you brought him back to life Bella and I will for ever be grateful to you."

Hearing my mom say this to Bella made me sad for the way I acted the last two years.

"Now" Mom continued and I got so nervous to think where she was going with this. "I trust you and Edward; you are both grown up to know right from wrong. I am not trying to be your mother Bella or tell you what to do but I want you to know that Carlisle and I have raised our children to be honest and open with us. As you know, Rose sleeps here with Emmett and Jasper sleeps here as well. I know that Alice thinks we think he sleeps on the couch but we no very well he sneaks into her room at night. Again I trust all my kids. I know your dad is going to be away a lot and you are going to be spending a lot of time here so I just want to make sure that you and Edward are prepared to live with the choices and consequences that come with being intimate." I could not believe my mom is talking about sex with my girlfriend.

"Esme, I really like your son, more than I care to admit openly right now. We are still new in this relationship and I want to take things slow. Esme I have never been with any one and I am not in a rush to jump into a sexual relationship." I could not believe I was listening to this.

"OH Bella I am sorry I was not trying to pry, I just I know that you do not have your mom close so I if there is ever anything you need, I am here." My mom sounded a little embarrassed and I could not help bet let out a little laugh.

"It's OK Esme. Thank you and you are right my mom is far and it is nice to know I can come to you."

"Edward, you come out and stop listening." my mom yelled.

I walked into the hallway and Bella started to blush my mom squeezed her hand and got up.

"Breakfast?" She asked walking away.

I could not help but walk fast to Bella sweep her up in my arms and swing her around.

"What was that for? She asked as I put her down.

"No reason." I said kissing her

"Get on." I said motioning for her to get on to my back.

She giggled "A piggy back ride, of course!" I turned around and she hoped on.

I ran up the stairs with her on my back and stopped at my room. I Opened my door walked to my bed and let her down. I turned around to face her she laid down pulling me on top of her.

"So you like me more than you care to admit?" I asked curiously.

She did not answer me; she pulled me into a kiss.

"Oh god please stop, you guys make me sick." Alice said sarcastically.

Bella and I stood up. Alice grabbed Bella's hand she looked at me and said "You'll have her back by 5:00. Enjoy the day."

Bella turned around blew me a kiss and walked away with Alice.
