Chapter 10
EPOV
Bella and Alice disappeared into the night and I was now left to deal with my family, most of whom were still in shock or incredibly pissed over what had just happened. And while they can deal with that I felt like the happiest man in the world. I could see the goofy grin that I had plastered to my face. I hadn't smiled this much in decades.
Carlisle was the first to bring everyone out of their silence. "Would you mind explaining to the rest of us what has just occurred here" he asked, curiosity leaking through his voice. " What that was" I replied turning my head to where the car had just taken off down the driveway and into the darkness "That was you all meeting the girl that I'm going to marry."

The drive back to Charlie's house consisted of mainly Alice's squeals and "I told ya so's". "Okay...fine....Alice you were right" finally giving in and admitting that she knew what she was doing. I turned to face her with a smile smeared across my face and realized that I hadn't smiled this much in years. "Okay so now that we have established that your way was best, whats going to happen now?"
"Well I guess that's for the two of you to decide tonight when he comes over, isn't it?" She said speeding up even more so that I would make it home on time. "I guess your right Alice. I guess your right" I mumbled. But what if he doesn't feel the same way about me that I feel about him. That kiss could have meant anything. It could have been him saying that he feels sorry for me.
I don't know what I would do without him, not after I have seen what we can share together. Or what it feels to be apart from each other.
I could feel my chest start to heave in and out while my eyes started to brim with tears that were threatening to fall. "Bella" Alice cautioned " you better stop that right now. Were about to go and talk to Charlie so put it back in the bottle. You worry to much, eveything's going to work out." We turned on to my street and went to pull into the driveway but there were two cars blocking the space.
One was an old rusty orange Chevy pick-up, the car that Charlie had bought for me, and the other was a white VW Rabbit.
******************************************************************************
I looked up at Alice and by the look on her face I knew that she understood who was here. "You know, I really don't like that I cant see them" she said pulling up on the street curbside. "Is it okay for you to come in with me" I asked her. "Don't worry, the wolves are going to have to get use to us eventually, right? Now help me with your bags, we don't want you to be late and it will look silly if I am carrying all of the bags."
We grabbed all the bags from the trunk of her Porch and headed inside. "Hey Dad" I called from the front door. "In here Bells" he called back from the living room. We both set down the bags and headed into the living room. I decided that pretending that I was oblivious to vampire/Wolfe thing would be a good track to take at this moment. "Bells, this is Billy and his son Jacob from the reservation, I bought the truck off of them."
"Oh...cool, hey" I said waving at them both "Dad this is Alice, I met her at school today." Both Billy and Jacob visibly stiffened when Alice came up from behind me. "I'm sorry I kept her out so late Chief Swan, but I couldn't pass up a shopping opportunity" she said dazzling him. "Please" he insisted "Call me Charlie. And shopping, really" He looked amazed. and I just blushed.
"Let me tell you" she said with a chuckle "It definitely was not easy, I nearly had to drag her out of here by her ears. But you had fun...right Bella?" She turned to look at me with those bug puppy dog eyes of hers and I was done. "Of course I did Alice, how could I not?" She beamed. "Well I have got to go, I told my parents that I would come right home after dropping you off Bella" Jacob scoffed.
"Goodbye Charlie, it was nice to meet you. I'll pick you up for school tomorrow Bella."
"Sounds good" I say going to give her a hug and letting her out the front door. After watching her drive away I walk back into the living room and plop myself into the armchair across the room from Charlie, who had returned his attention to the game on the television, while both Blacks stared at me like I was all kinds of crazy.
"So. how was everyone's night over here?" I asked as if I didn't notice that anything was wrong. "It was fine, we just stayed in and watched the football game" Charlie said not turning away from the t.v. "Actually, we should be going now" Billy spoke for the first time since I had shown up with Alice. Jake got up and walked over to his fathers wheelchair to help him out of our house.
"Goodbye, thanks for coming over." Charlie said completely unaware of all the tension in the room. I followed them to the door. "It was nice to meet you both, and thanks for the truck" I said. Jake turned around as if he was going to say something but had already closed the door in they're faces.
******************************************************************************
I know that that was kind of rude, but I was to blissed out to want to listen to Jacob's negativity right now. Today was one of the greatest days of my life. Today I was reunited with my beat friend, my family, and my soul-mate. I went back to my original seat and sat with Charlie.
We discussed my first day of school, my teachers, my classes, the other students that I met as well as my shopping excursion with Alice and meeting the other Cullen's.I made sure to mention how much Alice's youngest brother and I had in common and how we really hit it off so that when Edward starts coming around more often he's not surprised.
Eventually Charlie started to nod off on the couch, so I woke I woke him up to let him know that I was going to bed and he should to. I went to the front door and picked up the bags were we had left them and silently lugged them up the stairs and into my room, praying that I would not be subjected to to another shopping extravaganza for a long time.
I put the bags in front of my closet so that I could easily put them away later and ran to open the window. After opening the window I stuck my head out to see if he was already here. Unfortunately he was not so I grabbed my toiletries bag and pajamas and headed to the bathroom to a shower.
I stood in the shower for a while just letting the hot water fall on me, washing away all of the insecurities and doubt that I had about tonight wash away. I knew that Edward was waiting for me in my room. Even though I could not hear him come in, I could feel his presence and it shot shivers up and down my spine knowing that I was so close to him.
I finally decided that I had been in here long enough when I looked at my trembling hands to see that they were all pruny. I turned off the water and stepped out of the shower without incident, dried myself off and changed into a pair of the lacey satin pajamas that Alice had bought for me today.
It was very classy, consisting of a pair of small satin shorts and a satin camisole with lace trimming in the midnight blue that I knew Edward would love. and surprisingly it was very comfortable. I'll have to remember to thank Alice for this. I looked into the mirror one last time before deciding to see what was waiting for me in my room.
******************************************************************************
I reached my door. took a deep breath and walked into my room. There, lying in my bed, was a man with the beauty of a God. He was lying there, perfectly still, his hands folded behind his head, with a smile dancing across his face. If I didn't know any better I would say that he was sleeping. I could feel my heartbeat start to increase just from watching him and when his smile grew I knew that he had heard it to.
"Did you have a nice shower, love?" he asked finally opening his eyes and motioning for me to come and sit with him. My body immediately obeyed his wishes and I found myself walking slowly towards my bed. As soon as I sat down he pulled me into his lap and wraped his arms around me. He held me there his cold, strong arms encompassing me, his head in my hair breathing in the scent of my strawberry shampoo.
"Yes, I did" i was finally found my voice so that I could answer him. "Good" he said releasing me so that he could tuck me under the covers. Then the lights were off before I could even register his move. I snuggled into him, happy to be regaining contact with him, losing myself inside his Honey and Lilac scent. I let out a sigh of relief that was mirrored by him. I looked up into his beautiful amber eyes and could tell that he had hinted before he came over here.
I then looked from his eyes to his lips, that looked like thay had been chiseled from stone, and wanted them against mine again. As if he could read my mind he lowered his face down to mine, capturing my lips with his. My body instantly reacted again and I threw my hands into his hair. I could feel the heat from the kiss course through my veins, boiling my blood and rocking my essence at the core.
My body, still moving on it own accord in response to him, went to move closer to his causing him to groan and move away. "I'm sorry" I said still breathless. He slowly started to move back towards the bed and I could see that his once amber eyes had turned pitch black. He sauntered back over here, sat next to me and gave me a small smile.
We sat there for a while and I wasn't sure what to say. "So I mentioned you to Charlie" I finally said. "I figured that it would be a good idea for him to start to hear about you now, so when you start coming around fro often it wont be a big surprise to him." He gave me a funny look. "That is if you are planning on coming around more often, I'm sorry I shouldn't have just assumed." He laughed " Don't worry" he assured me "I plan on always being around you." Relief filled me and I found myself beaming.
"So" I asked curiously "How much do you know? What all did Alice show you?" "Alice showed me everything" he paused and it looked like he was straining to find the right words "It's not going to be like that, I have seen the outcome of all of the decisions that were made. The efforts that proved to be fruitless in the end. They will not happen." "So" I started but was interrupted.
"Yes" he stated simply. "I will not fight you on this if it is what you want. I want it to. It was meant to be obviously" he chuckled "When the time comes" he placed his hand on my stomach to imply that the time would come after I had had our child " I will change you."
He started to place kisses up my jaw line to my ear. "Mine" he whispered. "Yours" I whispered back. "What did your family have to say about all of this?" I asked him, not sure I would like the answer. His eyebrows furrowed and I could tell that he was thinking very hard about how to answer me.
"Well Esme and Carlisle are more then pleased to have another daughter in their family and Emmett another sister, and well you already know how Alice feels." "But what about Jasper and Rosalie?" I questioned him already knowing what to expect. "Jasper just thinks that he will not be able to control his thirst and Rose, well she'll come around."
We sat there again silently. "He's the strongest you know." I stated as a fact. "Who" Edward asked not knowing what I was referring to. "Jasper, he's the strongest at controlling his thirst then the rest of you." "How do you figure?" he asked me not understanding my logic on the subject "He loses control the most, not that we blame him for it, he just hasn't been following the lifestyle as long as the rest of us."
"Have you ever considered the fact that he's not just dealing with his own thirst, but also the thirst of 6 other vampires as well." "His gift" Edward said finally understanding where I was going with this. "Exactly, if he can feel when your happy or sad, why cant he also feel it when your all thirsty?" I asked him.
He smiled and said "Your absolutely right, how about you share your revelations with Jasper and the family tomorrow when we go over there after school?" "I'm coming over to your house tomorrow?" I asked sounding weary. "Yes, the introduction that Alice gave you was hardly fit for my future wife." he replied giving me my favourite grin causing me to turn bright red. "Now come on, it time to sleep. we have school tomorrow."
"Your staying right" I asked him as he fixed my blanket. "Of course he said climbing into bed next to me. He started to hum to me and I snuggled him again usng him as my pillow as I slowly drifted into a much needed sleep.
