Hey guys. So I had a review about how this chapter was like the last one, well I accidently made a mistake on the 11th chapter, and I had to fix it. So if you got an alert that I put a new chapter in, I really didn't. Sorry about that!

"Alec! Are you ready to go?" I called throughout the house, grabbing my jacket and purse on my way to the front door.

"Yes, mom!" He yelled back. A minute later he was bouncing down the stairs with his cute khaki pants, and a little button down shirt.

"You look handsome as always." I kissed his forehead, and slicked back his hair. We're going to Edward's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Our relationship is better then ever now. Alec and Garrett were all right with us dating, and in fact we had a few group dates with the boys. "Okay, let's go were going to be late." I scooted him out the door, as I closed it, and locked it. I strapped him in his booster seat, and then got in the driver's seat.

I drove over to his house, and there was a car already in the drive way. I parked behind it, and got out. I helped Alec out, and I held his hand as we walked up to the doorway. I rung the doorbell and we stood there for a few seconds.

"Open up! I have food!" I knocked again.

"Hey. Sorry I had to help my mom with the dinner." Edward opened the door with a grin on his face. I smiled back.

"It's okay." I said.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Come on in." He opened the door further and let us in.

"Alec!" I heard Garrett yell from up the stairs. "Come here!" Of course Alec ran away from me, and up the stairs.

I giggled and looked back at Edward. "I'd like you to meet my parents." He said, and held onto my hand. I held my pie in one hand and his hand in the other, as we walked to the kitchen.

I saw a gorgeous looking woman, that was about my height. She had long golden brown hair, and a pencil skirt and a blouse on. She was running around the kitchen getting everything ready for dinner.

"Mom. I'd like you to meet Bella." Edward said a little loud to his mother. She turned around, and rubbed her hands on a towel.

"So you're the famous Bella, everyone has been talking about." She smiled at me, and gave me a tight hug.

"That's me, I think." I smiled back, as she released me.

"I'm Esme, Edward's mother."

"Do you need any help with anything?" I asked her politely, and set my pumpkin pie on the counter.

"That looks delicious. And I could use a little help. Edward has no clue how to do anything in the kitchen, he was just getting in my way." She winked at me, and continued stirring something in a bowl. "Edward why don't you go in the living room with your father and watch some Thanksgiving football?" She didn't really ask him, she told him, and he listened. He gave me a quick kiss, and left the room.

"So, what do you want me to do first?" I asked, and grabbed the apron that was hanging on a nail. I wrapped the straps around my waist, and tied it.

"Could you pour the cranberry sauce in that glass container, and then take the rolls out of the oven and put it on a plate. Thank you, honey." She said, and opened the oven to a huge turkey, and took it's temperature. I started on the cranberry sauce, and poured it into a small bowl that was sitting on the counter.

"You're happy." She stated, not looking up at me.

"I am." I said simply.

"He's in love with you." She said again without looking up. Edward had told me he loved me a few months ago, and, of course, I am in love with him too.

"How can you tell?" I asked, curiously, just to see what she would say.

Finally she looked up at me, and stared me straight in the eye. "The way he looks at you. The way you look at him. I could feel the connection between you two, on the other side of the kitchen." She admitted.

"Well, I have to tell you, I'm in love with him, too." I stared right back at her, with a grin on my face.

"That's reassuring. But since he does have such strong feelings for you, can you promise me something?" She wiped her forehead off with the back of her hand.

"Anything."

"Can you promise me you will never leave them? Never leave them like his ex-wife did? And if you do ever leave him like that, make sure you never show up again in his life, because he won't be able to take it." She said seriously.

"I can promise you I will never leave him. Ever." I promised.

"I believe you." She said with a smile, and got back to cooking. I grabbed the rolls out of the oven, and put them on a white plate that was sitting out.

"Do you need me to do anything else?" I asked her as soon as I finished.

"I think I'm all set for now. Go have fun with Edward." She smiled and gave me a small hug.

"Thank you." I said before I left the room. I walked down the hall to the living room where Edward and his father were talking. I stood in the doorway not wanting to disrupt them.

"She's really good for you, son." I over heard his dad say.

"I can't wait for you to meet her." I could hear the smile in his voice.

"Knock, knock." I knocked on the door frame, and the two of them turned around. Edward stood up and walked over to me.

"Dad, I would like for you to meet the one and only Bella Swan." Edward said, as his father stood up from the chair he was sitting in. He had pale blond hair, and deep blue eyes. He was tall and muscular, which is probably where Edward got if from.

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Cullen." I smiled at him, and shook his hand.

"Mr. Cullen was my father, please call me Carlisle." He smiled back at me.

"So, what game is on today?" I asked, sitting down on the leather couch.

"Seattle Seagulls vs. Washington Redskins." Carlisle said, and turned up the volume on the TV. Edward sat down next to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. I lied my head on his shoulder, and he kissed me on the forehead. I could see from the corner of my eye, Carlisle watching us. We watched the game for a little bit, until Esme called throughout the house.

"Dinner is ready!" She called.

"I'll go get the boys." I stated, and got up from the couch. I walked down the hall and up the stairs.

"Boys?" I called.

"Yeah, mom?" I heard Alec call back. I found them in Garrett's room playing with toys.

"Dinner's ready." I leaned against the doorframe and waited for them to clean up. "Go wash your hands." I told them. We walked down the hall and to the bathroom. I helped them reach the sink, and then I washed my own hands.

"Bella?" Garrett said.

"Yeah, honey?" I dried my hands off on the towel.

"Can you give me a piggy back ride?" He asked sweetly.

"Sure. But only if you behave at dinner." I said. I helped him up standing on the toilet, and let him hop on my back. Alec was clung onto my leg, so I was carrying two five year olds down the stairs. As soon as I got to the dining room, everyone was looking at us and laughing.

"Come on, boys. Time for dinner." Esme laughed, and pointed at their spot at the table. The table looked gorgeous. It had a dark orange table cloth, with pumpkins and vines all over the table. There was a huge turkey right in the middle of the table, with all the side dishes on the little plates all over the place. I sat next to Edward on one side of the table, with the boys on the other side of the table. Carlisle and Esme took the head of the table.

"Wow, Esme. This looks delicious." I smiled over to her.

"Thank you, dear." She smiled back at me. Garrett was about to touch the green bean casserole when Esme slapped his little hand away.

"You know we don't eat until we say thanks on Thanksgiving." Esme said sternly. Her face got softer as she looked at Carlisle. "Why don't you start Carlisle and we make our way to your right."

"Alright. Well, I'm thankful for being here on an amazing Thursday evening with my healthy family, eating this delicious food." Carlisle smiled.

Alec was next. He sat there tapping his chin for a few seconds, thinking about what he was going to say. "I'm thankful for my mommy. She's made me happy my whole life, and now Edward is making her happy. Which makes me happy." He smiled, proud of himself. I was about to cry. But I held it in.

"I'm thankful for..." Garrett said. "Spider-man." He smiled, as if that was the best thing in the whole world.

"Okay, well, I'm thankful for everyone being here healthy and happy, enjoying this meal together. And for my marriage. 29 years." She smiled, and took a sip of her wine. It was my turn.

"I'm thankful for my amazing son, who's turned out to be the best. For my boyfriend, who accepts me for who I am, and is always there for me." I shared and looked over to Edward.

"Well, where do I start?" He said. "I'm thankful for my parents, who were always there for me, through the ups and downs. For my son, who can be a hassle sometimes, but he is the sweetest little boy I know. And for my girlfriend, who loves me forever and ever." He grinned and took a sip of his wine.

"Okay, guys! Dig in!" Esme said, and took a roll from the plate. I took a little bit of everything. It all tasted delicious.

"So, Bella, you are Garrett and Alec's teacher?" Carlisle asked, as he took a forkful of turkey.

"Yes, I am." I said, simply, and took a sip of my water.

"Well, you're very good with the boys, I can tell you that much." He said with a smile.

"Thank you." I smiled back, and continued to eat. "Where do you work, Carlisle?" I asked.

"I'm a doctor." He said.

"At the same place Edward works?" I asked curiously. Because I know if I worked in the same place as my dad, I would get a little frustrated.

"That's right. But my dad's a little higher up in work then me." Edward told me, and held my right hand above the table.

"Just a little more practice, son, and you'll be up there next to me." Carlisle smiled at his son.

"Where do you work, Esme?" I asked her, getting her joined in on the conversation.

"I'm an interior decorator." She smiled, proud of herself.

"Really? Maybe, you can help me decorate my house. It's starting to get a bit plain." I said.

"Oh, of course I can help you dear." She said. We talked a little more about the different styles and colors I wanted in my house, while Edward and Carlisle were talking about sports. The boys were having their own little conversation, in their whispered voices.

"Dessert time." Esme said, and brought out the pumpkin pie, and a tub of whipped cream. She sliced it up, and gave everyone a slice.

"Bella, this pie is delicious." Carlisle said, and took another bite of the pie.

"Thanks." I smiled, and tried it myself. It was good, if I do say so myself. Everyone finished, and Esme got up from the table and began clearing the table. I stood up, and grabbed some of the dishes as well, and brought them to the kitchen. I put the left over food into containers, and into the fridge.

"Oh, you don't have to help with dishes." Esme said, and set down a huge pile of dishes.

"Yes, I do. You made dinner, so it only seems fair for me to do the dishes." I smiled at her, and continued putting the food in containers.

"Maybe, you could teach Edward a thing or two." She joked with me, and took the dishes I had already done, and started washing them off, and put them in the dish washer.

After we finished the dishes, it was getting pretty late.

"I think we better go. It looks like Alec is asleep on his feet." I said, standing up from the couch that I was lounging on next to Edward. I picked Alec up in my arms, and set his head on my shoulder.

"I'll walk you to the door." Edward declared, and got up from the couch. We walked to the front door together, and stood in the doorway. "My parent's loved you tonight." He smiled at me.

"Well, your parents are amazing, and are lucky to have you." I giggled lightly. I stood up my toes and gave him a quick kiss. "I'll see you tomorrow." I whispered against his lips. I pulled back and walked out of the door.

"By the way, you look amazing!" He called, as I walked down the sidewalk, and to my car.

"You, too!" I called back trying not to wake Alec up.

Oh, how much I love that man.
