Scrubs

Bella's POV

The week at work after the banquet was extremely busy, as most kids were getting last minute check-ups and whatnot before Christmas. Consequently, Edward and I had not been able to spend time with each other.

I was going to be flying to Forks to meet my parents for Christmas today. Being the 21st, most of my friends and colleagues, including Edward were going to see their parents for Christmas.

My bags were all packed with my clothes and some gifts. I was planning on buying some with my mom in Forks. I got a taxi to the airport, since I wouldn't be able to leave my car in the zero degree weather two weeks. I reached the airport a little early to make sure I had everything straight. I got my boarding pass and sat down in the gate area. It was about 2, so I decided to call my parents to let them know when I would be arriving.

"Hello?" my mom picked up.

"Hi, mom," I said. "I just wanted to let you know that I would be reaching around five in the evening."

"Oh that's great, Bella," she said. "You'll be here just in time to go out for dinner with our friends!"

"Okay, mom. I love you. Bye," I said.

"Bye Bella!" I sighed at my mom's quirkiness. How did she manage to be a doctor? While I was waiting, I got something to eat and sat down to read Wuthering Heights.

"All passengers flying to Forks, Washington please proceed for boarding. Thank you and enjoy your flight."

My parents were frequent flyers, so I got to sit in business class during the flight. The flight itself was uneventful except that the guy sitting next to me tried hitting on me several times. So I turned to pretending to sleep for the rest of the flight. My, was THAT boring.

It felt good to be in Forks. Everything was so familiar to me, even though I have not been here for over a year. When I got to the arrival gate, I saw my parents standing there with wide smiles. I ran over to them and gave each of them a hug.

"Hi mom, hi dad," I said.

"My baby's all grown up!" my mom said, tearing up.

I laughed at how dramatic my mom was. I felt sorry for dad. He has to deal with that every single day. At least when I was here, I could keep her under control. But, it was amazing how much they loved each other, despite how different they are. (I know, a big change there)

As I got into the back seat of my dad's black BMW, he asked, "You do know, Bella, that your mom is going to be dragging you around to meet her friends, right?" he laughed."Unfortunately, yes," I said with a smile. My parents were asking me non-stop questions about my work and such on our way to the house. When we pulled into our driveway, childhood memories came flooding back to me. I remembered when I used to plant flowers with my mom in the spring, and fix the porch with my dad in the summer. Or when I used to have my friends over in the winter to make snowmen, and rake leaves for extra money in the fall. It's amazing how much sentimental value a three-story brick house can hold.

I happily sighed while my mom pulled me inside, and my poor father was left bringing my bags in. "Bella sweetie, you have to get ready; we are going to dinner with some of our friends and they have been dying to meet you! And you have to meet their son, he's gorgeous!" my mom exclaimed. The only person man who comes close to gorgeous is Edward. Edward… I miss him so much now…

"Now? Mom, I'm tired. Jetlag, remember?" I pleaded with her.

"Please, Bella," she said. "Our friends really would love to meet you. They have asked us for a long time."

I couldn't disappoint my parents. "Okay, mom," I said. "I'll go get ready." She immediately smiled and thanked me.As I was walking up the stairs, I heard my mom yell out, "Dress formally, Bella!" When I walked into my room, I noticed that it was exactly the same as before. The light blue walls and the queen sized bed with fresh sheets on it. My study table was still there; along with my computer and phone. My dresser and side tables were left just as they were before, and I noticed that my mom had decorated the place a bit.

I went to my suitcase and put all of my clothes in the closet and put my suitcase under my bed. After all, I would be here for two weeks. I went to my closet and tried to figure out what I should wear. I chose a black laced dress that had a satin sash around the waist. I took a quick shower and did my hair in a loose bun and light makeup. I realized that I didn't have a proper pair of shoes to wear, so I went looking for my mom. She had so many shoes it wasn't even funny.

"Mom?" I said, while going into my parents room.

"Yeah Bella?" she asked. She was sitting at her vanity doing her makeup at the time.

"Can I borrow some shoes?" I asked.

"Sure, Bella. You've been gone so long that you have ask now. I'm your mother, Bella," she laughed. "It's not like you are going to steal anything. By the way, you look wonderful."

I giggled. "Thanks mom." I went into my mom's closet and picked out a pair of simple black heeled sandals. I went back to my room and grabbed my clutch and put my phone and such things in. I walked back downstairs and noticed that my parents were just about ready, so I got my black trench coat and headed out the door with them.

We arrived at a very fancy French restaurant and hotel in Seattle called Bon Sojourn. (just made something up) We were entering the restaurant when my mom whispered to me, "Bella, are you seeing anyone?"

I gave her a "why are you asking me now" look. "Well--

"--Renee, Charlie, it's wonderful to meet you again!" I heard someone say in front of us. It was a woman with auburn colored hair and chestnut colored eyes. She was very pretty and was as tall as my mom. "You must be Bella," she said with a genuine smile. "I'm Esme. I've heard many wonderful things from your parents," she gave me a hug."It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs…" I said, realizing I didn't know her last name."Cullen. But, please, call me Esme," she smiled. I noticed a very handsome looking man next to her. He had blonde hair and light brown eyes. "This is Carlisle, my husband," she introduced him.

"It's nice to finally meet you, Bella," he smiled shook my hand. These people were so loving and affectionate, you couldn't help but feel happy around them.

"You too," I smiled.

My parents were talking to Esme and Carlisle, when my mom introduced me to a lady that just came in as Mrs. Newton and her husband. To tell you the truth, Mrs. Newton was a big snob. All she talked about how much money she had and how handsome her son is. I politely nodded my head at what ever she said, because if I said anything, she would probably ignore it anyway.

I excused myself and went over to my mother and Esme, who were talking. "Bella, have you met my son yet?" she asked.

"No, Esme, not yet," I said politely. I saw her and Renee glance at each other, and automatically knew something was going on.

Not wanting to get involved, I excused myself to the restroom to freshen up before dinner started. As I was walking back, I accidentally bumped into someone. I turned around to say sorry, but when I saw who they were, I immediately froze. Edward. My Edward.

"Edward?" I asked with wide eyes. I immediately ran into his arms and gave him a tight hug. "What are you doing here?"

His eyes widened when he saw me. After stumbling back at my suddenness, he let out a small laugh. "I came to see my parents."

I couldn't believe I didn't make that connection. Edward's parents live in Forks. Wait, they are Carlisle and Esme! Their last name is Cullen. Oh my gosh, I feel so stupid now.

"I can't believe I didn't realize that you were coming to Forks to visit your parents… Carlisle and Esme Cullen," I whispered the last part. Ugh, I feel do dumb!

He chuckled. "To tell you the truth, Bella, I didn't realize that you were coming to Forks, either. I guess we were so caught up in work that we weren't able to tell each other," he said. "Well you're here now, so that's all that matters," he said and kissed my neck. Thankfully, we weren't in the view of our parents or any of their friends.

"I missed you," I said.

"I missed you too, love," Edward said. "More than you can imagine." He called me love…

He looked in my eyes and then gave me the softest, sweetest kiss ever imaginable. I knew that it was probably all he could do without crossing the lines of PDA. I smiled at him and took his hand, "Come on, our parents are probably wondering where we are," I said.

My mother and Esme were still talking. How much is there to talk about? They noticed us walking towards them and smiled widely. "I see you two already know each other," my mother said.

I noticed that we were still holding hands, and our moms were probably looking for an explanation. Oh shoot… I never got to finish telling my mom who I was seeing. How do I say this without her freaking out that I didn't tell her?

I looked over at Edward, and he seemed to be in the same predicament. "Um mom, Edward and I… are kind of… together?" the last part sounded like a question.

"Like boyfriend and girlfriend together?" Esme inquired.

"Well, we don't like to use that term, but… yes," I said, and both of their faces lit up into smiles.

"Bella, Edward, you don't know how hard we've been trying to get you to be together," my mom said.

I looked at my mom and Esme in shock. Edward's reaction was the same. "So now that's set, let's eat!" Esme chirped.

Edward and I sat down together with our parents. My parents took a great liking to him, and Esme and Carlisle were nothing but delightful to talk to. When dinner was over and our parents were chatting away, I took the time to ask Edward some things.

"Edward?" I asked.

"Yes, love?" he looked at me.

"I was just wondering… If your parents both have light brown eyes, where did you get green eyes from? And Emmett's blue eyes?" I inquired.

He smiled and let out small laugh. "Has anyone ever told you how perceptive you are, Bella? I like it," he winked. "I got my green eyes from my mom's mom, and Emmett got his blue eyes from my dad's mom."

"What are the odds?" I smiled. "So are Emmett and Rosalie coming for Christmas?"

"Probably. But not for a few days," Edward said. I noticed he was staring at me and smiling.

"What?" I asked with a playful smile.

"Nothing. It's just that you look really beautiful tonight," he said while playing with a few strands of my hair.

I blushed. "You look lovely when you blush," he said and I buried my face into his neck to avoid him from seeing my crimson shade.

"Stop dazzling me, Edward," I teased.

"I dazzle you?" he smirked.

"Well, who wouldn't be dazzled by you?" I asked.

"And who wouldn't be mesmerized by your beauty?" he asked, mimicking my stance.

Right before I could give him a witty answer, I heard "Bella! Edward!" being called by my mom, waving us over. We walked over to Edward and my parents.

"We are going to go to the lounge (I know, who calls it that now?) with Charlie and Renee. Edward, will you drop Bella home?" Esme said.

"Sure mom," he said.

"Bella, we'll be home late, so don't wait up," my mom said.

"Don't do anything I wouldn't do, children!" I heard Esme say as they were leaving, and heard lots of laughter.

I looked at Edward with a shocked expression. "At least they don't oppose to us being together," I laughed weakly.

Edward laughed and took my hand, "Let's go." We walked over to a black Mercedes, which I assumed was Carlisle's. As we approached the car, Edward took my hand and pinned me against the car, taking me by surprise. He crashed his lips to mine, in a passionate kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and just as I was about to part my mouth, the alarm to the car a few rows down went off. Loudly.

Just as the owner shut it off, Edward looked at me with a rueful expression. "Sorry Bella, it's just I've been waiting all night to do that," he said with his perfect crooked smile.

"It's alright, Edward. You happen to be a good kisser," I teased him with a smile.

"I can say the same about you," he kissed me softly. "I better get you home, if we keep this up, we'll be here all night."

Edward walked me to the front door. I reached under the welcome mat and pulled out the spare key my parents always kept underneath. I pulled Edward inside so he wouldn't freeze to death in the snow.

"It's funny, I feel like a teenager coming home from a date with her 'boyfriend'," I emphasized the last word just to tease Edward.

"Bella, you don't want to get on my bad side…" Edward joked.

"Why? What are you going to do about it?" I challenged playfully.

"This," he carried me bridal style to the couch and started tickling me on my sides.

"Edward… please stop…" I managed through my laughs. He finally stopped. I was breathing heavily after all of that hysterical laughing. "Now I know never to get on your bad side," I giggled.

Edward looked at his watch and said, "Bella, I think your parents will be home soon. I better get going, unless you want to be interrogated for two hours."

I smiled. "Okay, Edward," we walked over the front door. I gave him a kiss and said, "See you soon."

"Bye Bella," he said with his dazzling smile.

All I can say is that I'm in love with Edward Cullen.
