Chapter 9: Carlisle and Esme
BPOV
I was nervously shaking as It was Friday night and I would be meeting Edward's parents tonight. A million thoughts were going through my head as I sat up in my room waiting for Rose and Alice to finish doing my make-up. What if they didn't like me? What if I wasn't good enough or pretty enough? What if I didn't meet their standard? I mean I already met Dr. Cullen but what if I didn't meet Edward's mom standard. My make-up was done and once again we were wearing sundresses but in different styles. I had a plane while halter top dress with a blue trimming at the bottom, I had blue heels that were very comfortable for a change; I had in blue hoops with light make up. Rose and Alice's we similar but only different colors and different styles. Alice had the Spaghetti strap and Rose had the off the shoulder dress. We all sat smiling at each other but I was nervous inside. My dad came in and told us how beautiful we looked and went off to work.
The boys came shortly after to pick us up in Emette's jeep. Edward greeted me with kisses as he usually did and told me how beautiful I looked I tried to disagree on it but I was told again how I don't see myself clearly. We sang along to the radio the whole ride to the Cullen house. Rose was up front with Emette soothing him because he was really hungry while Edward was rubbing my back because he could sense my nervousness. Alice was her usual cheery self because she was never afraid and saw herself as herself.
We pulled up to the most beautiful three story white house in the woods. It had the most beautiful design and a whole wall was glass even though you could not see inside the house. I stood at the car with Edward as Alice those waited at the door for us. I was currently taking deep breathes trying to calm myself.
"Don't worry love everything is going to be fine." Edward's soothing voice said.
"Edward what if they don't like me?" I asked.
"Of course they will you make me happy and that is good enough for them, we can go whenever you are ready."
"Let's go." I said taking a deep breath.
We walked into the house together. Alice still wasn't nervous and Rose already met them so it was just me. We walked into the living room where I saw a grand piano in the corner the rest of the living room was beautiful but I couldn't help but look at the piano it really stood out. I guess Jasper had taken Alice to a tour of the house and to meet Ms. Cullen and Rose probably went with them. Edward noticed me looking and led me to sit down on the piano bench with him.
"You play?" I asked him.
"Yes, I do." He answered.
"Will you play for me?"
"I thought you would never ask" he smiled. He began to run his hand over the keys producing a beautiful melody. This song was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. I noticed how the beat went faster and then slowed down, I noticed how deep this song went, it got into my heart and I felt all the feelings he had for me, the song slowly came to an end and I was lost for words.
"You inspired it; it's called Bella's Lullaby."I couldn't stop the tears that were still spilling; no one has ever done this for me.
"Edward it's so beautiful, what did I do to deserve you."
"Bella that was an incorrect statement, the question is what did I do to deserve you, I wrote that the first day I saw you and I couldn't get you out of my head, you inspired everything I did and I love you so don't you say that, you make me the happiest person in the world and I love you."
"I love you too" I said while he wiped the tears from my eyes. I smiled at him and he gave me a kiss while I heard every awing in the back of me. I hid my face in Edward's chest because of my blushing. I felt the vibrations of his laughs against me, my blush hadn't gone away yet so until then I was hiding.
"How long have you guys been here?" I heard him ask.
"From you started playing." I heard a lovely voice , that must be his mother. I pulled away from Edward's chest to look up. I saw everyone in the room including Dr. Cullen and his mother. She looked so young and she was beautiful I was completely back to being shy. I noticed she was looking at me with a smile.
"Edward, she is simply gorgeous, you must be Bella" she said as Edward and I stood. She immediately pulled me into a hug and I hugged her back. "It's very nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too, Mrs. Cullen."
"Esme please, Mrs. Cullen makes me feel old."
Esme was so nice, I instantly loved her. Edward was right about her liking me, she is so kind.
"Hey Bella, how is the ankle" Carlisle said.
"It hasn't been bothering me at all, I hardly even notice it was sprained because I don't need to wear the band anymore."
"Good, I hope Edward has been catering to you and keeping you off the feet."
"Actually Carlisle, he has been doing the exact opposite everything he does sends me running."
Carlisle gave Edward a look and he gave me one to say that he was going to get me back and true to his work he turned me around and started a deep kiss and then pulled away because he knew I hated that and in front of his parents. I nudged Edward with my elbow and he gave me a crooked smile. I couldn't stay mad at him.
"Girls, do you want to help me in the kitchen?" Esme said. We all nodded and left the boys behind to help Esme.

"Edward, Jasper I must say you've picked good girls, Bella is just amazing and I must say she has gotten you wrapped around her finger, Edward. It seems like everything that makes Alice happy makes Jasper happy. Emette you also picked a good one, I never thought I would see the day when Emette found a girl that could control him, I noticed that the first time you brought Rose to meet us."
"But I have one question, do you love then?"
Jasper and Emette were about to answer the question but Edward was not short on words when it came to Bella.
"With my entire heart dad, I do. Bella completes me and I would lose my whole way of life if she left me and I would do anything it takes to make her happy even if it means being away from her." He answered pouring his whole heart out.
"I can see that Edward because I have never seen a happier you than when you are with Bella." I smiled at him.
Edward has never been happier since the incident happened, it's like he found his life again. Bella to me was like a daughter already just with the happiness she brought to this family, just like Alice and Rose.
"Yes dad, I do love Alice." Jasper said. Jasper didn't need a bunch of words to express his feelings I could tell that Alice was his everything. She also brought happiness to the family and she was a daughter in my eyes.
Emette took a sigh getting ready to say his part in this, he was not one to really express his feelings." Dad, rose is my everything and I am so happy that someone like her would take interest in me and I love her." Rosalie was yet another daughter to that made my family of six children. I looked at my guys once again an saw how the girls had the tamed.

The girls and I were in the kitchen putting the final touches to my meal while we sang along with the radio. Edward never told me the Bella could sing she had a beautiful voice. I could see they sang a lot while in the kitchen because Alice and Rosalie was her backup. I couldn't help but laugh at the way they swayed their hips at the music doing the bring it round town move on SpongeBob, that was always Emette's favorite move.
The girls dragged me in with them and we all laughed at my attempt to do the dance which the girls said was pretty good. There was much more laughs when the song finished and Bella did a big finish causing us all to fall.
"Always the clumsy." She laughed.
"You girls sure know how to have fun. That was really…….interesting……… in a good way." I laughed.
We all got up and sat at the kitchen counter. I must say that these girls are wonderful and I couldn't have picked better for my sons.
"Girls you really have brought happiness to my family because I have never seen my sons happiest and I couldn't have picked better."
"Thank you Esme." We all said in Unison.
"Bella you have a wonderful personality and for the first time in a long time, I saw Edward smile and I have to ask you one question because I know he does, I already asked Alice and Rose this but do you love Edward?"

"Esme a million words cannot describe how much I do and a million lifetimes cannot either I love Edward so much. I mean really I don't know why he loves me."
"Bella, look at you" she started "you are beautiful, smart and caring why wouldn't he love you." I smiled at her words.
For five minutes more we carried on this type of conversation until it was time to eat.
"You should have seen Edward, he was butt naked on top of the piano." Esme said digging into the mashed potatoes. I couldn't help but laugh as she told us jokes about the boys past.
"Jasper with his long locks always loved to get his hair washed so one day I found him in the bathroom with his hair down the toilet saying how clean his hair was getting." We were all into hysterics except the boys.
"We were having a dinner party and Emette was worse than Edward her had just learn to take his diaper off and he came running through the living room naked. You should have seen it." We were all into laughter until we finally decided it was time to leave the boys alone. Dinner was finished. And we hugged Carlisle and Esme Goodbye.
We were escorted home and into the house because we were not safe being the beautiful girls we were as Edward had put it .
The night was fabulous but it ended with kisses and a goodnight sleep.
