Chapter 12

BPOV

I woke up early today, Charlie was going on a fishing trip with Carlisle today and he didn't want me all by myself all day, so I get to go over the Edward's the entire day!

I was going to make some lunch for the guys to take with them and then I was going to head over to the Cullen's. I was slicing the bread for the sandwiches when the phone started to ring. Charlie was still in the shower so I went to go pick it up.

"Hello?" I asked, you could hear the happiness in my voice.

Today will be a good day.

"Hey there baby. How you doing?" my mother said in a sickly sweet voice, and totally put a dampener on my cherry mood. Better not say anything crude.

"I am doing fine. Headed over to Edward's house right now actually."

"Oh, you two are still together?"

"Yes mom. We are very happy, as well."

"I still don't understand why you want to be with him."

"Because he is amazing and makes me happy. Because I love him."

I so do not want to deal with her if is going to act like this…

"Love? Sure sweetheart. Anyways, the reason I called was because Phil has a game in Seattle so I thought that maybe we could visit for a day next weekend. Have dinner. You could even invite this boy if you want to."

I would never think of my mother as a bitch, but she was coming real close right now.

Did I even want my Edward to be around her and Phil if they would put him down? Most definitely not.

"Does Charlie know about this?"

"Yes, but he said I had to check with you for some reason…"

Maybe because you like to put down the love of my life…

"Alright, I will ask Edward and his family if they would like to come, but mom if you or Phil says anything cruel in front of him, I will have to ask you to leave…"

"Well Bella, choosing a boy over you own mother? Not like you at all and I am little disappointed in that."

"Yes, well I love him a lot."

"Whatever Bella, you are young. You will grow out of him. Out flight gets in on Saturday morning so we should be at Charlie's house a little after noon."

"Okay, Bye mom."

"Bye sweetie. I miss and Love you. Cannot wait to see you."

I hung up the phone, I didn't really feel the same way and I suck at lying, even over the phone.

"So they coming?" Asked Charlie as he came and sat down at the table.

"Yep. What is her problem, dad?"

"Don't ask me sweetheart…she is just shallow minded is all. Maybe when she meets him and see's how great you two are together she will accept it more."

"I hope so…but if she doesn't I don't really want her in my life. Edward has enough people who don't treat him fairly; we don't need to add my own mother into the mix."

"I will talk to Carlisle about them all coming and you can talk to Edward, okay?"

"Thanks dad. I made you guys some sandwiches for your lunch today."

"Oh thank you Bells, you ready to go?"

"Yep. Let me just grab my jacket."

We pulled into the Cullen's driveway; their house always took my breath away. It was just so big and awesome looking. It really looked like a modern castle, three stories, white wood, but there was also an entire back wall that had been replaced with glass showing off the amazing view of the forest behind their house.

"Hey Charlie, Bella." Said Carlisle as he walked out of the house with full on fishing gear.

He looked just like Charlie…

Complete with the dumb fishing hat all fishermen seemed to own.

"Hey there Carlisle." They did this 'man type' hug, I guess is what I would call it, were they clapped their hands left hands together and their right arms wrapped around the other's back.

"Ready to go?" asked my dad

"Sure am. Bella, Edward is upstairs in his room. It is just you two for a few hours so don't do anything to reckless, please."

Okay, this is starting to look up.

"He may still be asleep, though. That boy is not a morning person, so be warned."

"Okay, thanks. Bye guys, have fun today."

"Bye Bells. Be good and safe. Love you."

"Love you too dad. Bye Carlisle."

"Bye Bella."

I walked up to the door and walked in the house and began to climb the stairs to Edward's room on the third floor. I was really hoping I remembered the way from the last time that I had been up here, because this place was like a fucking maze and I most certainly did not want to get lost and miss out on any Edward time. That would suck.

It took me a few minutes, but I finally found his room. The light snoring that I head from the other side of the door helped me a bit though. I slowly opened the door; I did not want to wake him up just yet and closed it lightly behind me when I was finally in.

And there lay my Edward in the middle of his huge ass king sized bed, his blankets all twisted around his legs and feet, he was lying on his stomach and his face was buried in his millions of pillow, I barely made out a little bit of bronze that was sticking through. And holly hell, he was shirtless.

Yum. Yum. Yum.

His back was strong looking, if that makes sense…his shoulder blades were slightly sticking out and his back was curved, looking relaxed, moving up and down with his steady breathing.

He looked really hot.

He looked really beautiful.

And he was mine.

Suck it, bitches! (:

I took of my shoes and jacket and placed the by the door to his room. I slowly and softly crawled on to his bed, careful not to disturb him. Got under the blankets with him, warm from his body heat and lightly touched his arm, tracing the pattern of his tatoo. He moved around a little in his sleep, still not waking, and murmured my name sweetly, making my heart flutter and warm and a flood go through my body to my panties. He shifted his head more into his pillow and draped the arm that I was still holding around me, maybe thinking I was a pillow or something….This was not what I had planned, I thought I could wake him up easier and then we could talk a bit, but now I had his arm around me, lying in his bed, while he was shirtless.

Who the hell am I to wake him up?

I am pretty tired myself anyways…

I placed my hand on the small of his back, where light bronze hair was. I moved my head more into one of his pillows, loving the scent of him that I found there. His arm tightened around my waist more and I quickly found sleep in his embrace.

I started to wake up when I felt soft kisses being placed all over my neck and face. I started to open my eyes and saw my yummy looking boyfriend looming over me with his sexy ass little smirk on his face. I leaned up and our lips met and slowly began to move together, I felt Edward's tongue against my lower lip, asking for entrance and I gave it to him readily. Our tongues met and we didn't fight with our tongues wanting dominance over each other, our tongues just tangled together easily, loving stroking the other tongues, exploring the other's mouth. Our hands were lovingly roaming each other's arms and my fingers laced through his hair.

I want to wake up like this always.

"Good morning, my love." His voice was still kind of groggy from sleep, but he had his little smirk plastered in his face still.

"Morning Edward. Sleep well?"

"Mhm, I love getting to wake up with you in my arms. It is quite an amazing feeling."

"I love you"

"I love you"

We got up after just holding and kissing each for a few minutes more, he went to take a shower and I said I would make us some breakfast. I was flipping over his pancakes and making sure the eggs and bacon were not burning, when I felt Edward's warm arms around my waist and his face buried in my neck and hair.

"It smells delicious, my Bella"

"Thank you, I hope you like it."

"Pancakes, Bella. Pancakes….Of course I will like it, silly."

He went into the pantry to get some syrup and into the refrigerator to get some fruits and whip cream.

We put or pancakes together and grabbed some eggs and bacon for each of us and headed into the family room to watch the Saturday morning cartoons, I thought I was the only one who still watched them, most people were surprised they were even on, and I loved that this was another thing Edward and I could do together and just be relaxed and happy.

Last night at the dance was the first time I had seen Edward truly relaxed and calm around the people from our school and I loved it. He had been so beautiful and charming all night long and when he danced with me….I absolutely loved the feeling. It was indescribable.

We ate our breakfast in a comfortable silence, he had sadly put a t-shirt back on, but he still had on his yummy looking grey sleep pants. My head was resting on his should as I ate and he had his left arm place around me, holding me. I loved the feeling of being pushed against him; I could never tire of it.

When we were done eating the dinner with Rene and Phil popped into my mind and I knew I had to ask Edward about it…and I knew I would sound hesitant about it….and he would hear that in my voice and ask me why…and because I cannot, during any kind of circumstance lie to my Edward or to anyone in general really, I would have to tell about Rene not being supportive. I would have had to tell him anyway just so that I could warn him about it if he did agree to go. I would not want him to walk into my house acting all sweet and lovely like he is, wasting it on my mother and Phil as he tried to win them over, I wanted Edward strong and fierce, going in there knowing some of the thing that they might say and know that none of it was true, but just complete shit.

"Edward?"

"Yes my dear?"

"Umm…my mom and her husband Phil are going to be in Seattle next weekend and were going to visit me and Charlie on Saturday and… umm… well I would like you and your family to come as well. Jasper and Rose too, but the thing is Edward, that Rene and Phil are very much like the people here…they just don't think nicely of everyone, which is why I moved, I hated that they were so shallow and I don't want you to be hurt and especially by something my own mother or step father say, so feel free to say no."

"They don't approve of me? Of us?"

"Oh Edward, I… don't know. I so wish they would. I am sorry; I should not have even mentioned it. Just forget it."

"No, no, no! I do want to go and be there for you…and I am sure my family will want to be there for you as well. By the sounds of it your relationship does not sound like the greatest with them and I will be there for you, Bella, forever. So of course I will be there at that dinner on Saturday night, holding your hands and proving to Rene and Phil how much I love you and you love me. So that is what matters, that we love each other, not what your family says, okay?"

He was right, it did not matter what Rene or Phil said, as long as I had Edward by me and I was by him and we knew how much we loved each other than nothing else mattered…no matter who was saying it.

Whether it was the stupid ass people that lived in this town, that meant nothing or my own stupid mother, who used to mean everything, and her stupid husband, that I never really like, that said thing about us.

It didn't matter.

And we would not let it bother us.

Easier said than done.

I knew if either my mom or Phil said something inappropriate I would go ape shit on them, but not in front of Edward.

I nodded my head to him, because he was right, it did not matter, but I sure as hell was going to make sure that they said nothing but nice things about Edward to his face.

"Bella, I will not let anything they say bother me because you are going to be there for me, holding my hand. Because whenever you are with me, I am better and happy no matter what anyone says. So, I will be fine and happy. So now, I have something to share with you so let's go."

He started to pull on my hand, forcing me to get up and started to drag me up all the stairs till we were standing on the third floor in front of a door that was next to his room.

"Edward….care to explain?"

"Would you like to hear your song now?"

Oh

Oh

Oh

Yes!

"Oh yes! Edward, yes!" I jumped him…I don't care. I started to kiss all over his face. I mean, really, he was so sweet. He wrote me a song, I mean best boyfriend ever!

"Well, come on than." He said laughing at my craziness, better he get used to it now, right?

He wrapped his arm around my waist and opened the door to the room that displayed all of his music equipment.

"Edward, you play guitar? And bass? Why didn't you tell me all this?"

"I don't like showing off." He said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Well come on, I want to hear my song, please."

"Pushy, pushy."

He pulled me over to the bench for his piano to sit with him and squeezed my hand once before he let go and placed his hands on the black and white keys hitting a few notes to test the tuning. "I love this thing so much, not as much as I love you. I started to hear this tine the second I saw you and as soon as I got home that day I started to write it down and perfect it, just so I could one day play it for you, so you can now how much I truly love you. Whenever I was having troubles and you were not there at that moment, I would hum this melody and I relaxed. You fix me, Bella. And I love you so incredibly much for it. So my Bella, I hope you like it. I love you."

I mouthed 'I love you' to him, what he just said so amazing and flattering and lovely, that if I said anything aloud it would have ruined the moment that I just wanted to wrap myself in right now.

And then the room was filled with the soft piano keys that made my heart beat faster and tears, happy tears, stream down from my eyes. The sounds echoed of the walls and it made it all the better. His hands played up and down the keys, making the sweetest sounds that just sounded like they came from his heart. They sounded like love. I did not even think something like sounding like love existed, but it did. And Edward was making it possible and I felt his love and I was relishing in it.

His long elegant fingers were stroking against the black and white, making sounds of softness flow easily together. Constructing a heartfelt melody that I just wanted to listen to as I fell asleep, wrapped up in Edward's arm preferably.

The notes started to become softer and slower as it came to an end.

He turned to me with a little nervous smile and brought his hand up to my face and wiped away my tears, which were still flowing even though I was willing them to stop.

"D-did you like it, Bella?"

"Oh, oh Edward! How could I not? That was so beautiful! I cannot believe you wrote that for me, I-I am speechless, truly."

I grabbed him by his shoulders and brought his mouth to mine. I had to show him my feelings too after having him just serenade me, so I poured all of my love for him, all of my happiness with him into my kiss. I had to let him know that my feelings were just as strong and that I want him forever.

I wanted to marry him, I knew that.

But, right now. I just wanted to love him.

And when we broke apart he was smiling and breathing roughly, so I hoped my kiss got everything I wanted to say to him across.

I hope you understood.

I hope he knows that I love him.

With my entire being and will never, ever, let him go or get hurt.

I loved him and I wanted him to show my love for him for the rest of mine and his life.

I hope he did.

And by what he just wrote me, told me through his song, I knew he did too…

I was getting ready for this dinner with my mother right now…Charlie said he would pick her and Phil up from the airport, so I just had to straighten the house up a little and cook dinner. Yesterday Edward, Emmet, and Jasper came over with the table the Cullen's were letting us borrow so we would all fit, since everyone was coming. I was happy that Edward and I were going to have all the support and be able to stand up to Rene and Phil if they said something crude in front of everyone.

I had decided to just make a roast, that way I could make it earlier in the day and hang out till everyone got here before I had to make the side dishes that Alice and Rose said they would help me with.

Edward and I had talked more during the week about my life with Rene and how open minded she used to be, then she started to date Phil and that all kind of changed…she changed and not for the better. It was hard for him to understand my relationship with my mother because he was so close to Esme. Not that I blamed him, if Esme was my mother, I don't think I could ever leave her side.

I had just put the roast in the over when I heard Charlie's truck pull into the driveway and I went to look out the kitchen window and he looked a little tired and annoyed as he and Phil grabbed the bags, they were not staying past tonight and were having a cab pick them up after dinner was over.

"Bella? Baby, where are you?" asked my mom as she barged through the front door.

"Kitchen."

"Oh Bella," my mom said as she pulled me into a hug, "you already went back to being pale. You lost all of your coloring. You look kind of dead, if I am being honest…"

"Thanks mom. How is everything?"

"Oh fine, fine. Phil and I are just so happy with house being so quiet and us not having to keep it down, if you know what I mean." She said with a sly smile as she bumped my hip as I threw up a little in my mouth…

I slightly nodded my head, very thankful that Charlie and Phil walked into the kitchen then, so my mom turned to my dad and they all started to talk about how they have all been. Charlie looked pretty uncomfortable sitting in between Phil and mom, so when he excused himself from the table to get a beer for himself and Phil, he sat down next to me when he came back. We all made our way to the living room to sit on the couches and the conversation drifted back to me and school. How I liked Forks high and how much my mother despised that place when she went there. To about my friends and the people who she was friends with and their children who now attended, who she thought would be better friends for me.

"Do you know Mike Newton, Bella? His mother and I were so close. We were like twins, I swear it." My mom asked with this smile on her face, Charlie muttered something about 'bitchy' under his breath and I bit back a chuckle and answered her, "Ya, I know him. Don't like him though, he says some really awful things about Edward and I don't like that." I was kind of proud I said that, I hope they got what I was trying to say.

That I do not like anyone who says something cruel about Edward.

"Edward? The retard?" Phil did not get what I was trying to say apparently…

"No Phil, Edward, my boyfriend. And he is autistic, not retarded. Okay?"

"Same thing Bella. I mean what do you even see in him?" my mom asked sounding a bit exasperated…and that was making me a bit pissed.
"They love each other Rene, they do not care if the other has a disability." My dad answered for me, also sounding a bit pissed off about the things that were being said.

"Love? Charlie, she is seventeen. She has no idea what love is. She will outgrow this whole thing in a month or two and find someone more suitable."

"You have never seen how they are together. They are very much in love; it is not some passing fancy with these two. You are hurting our daughter very much by not being supportive of their relationship."

"Because he is fucking retarded, Charlie. Rene and I will not support her if she wants to waste her life away with some guy who is less than everyone else and will end up ruining her life with all the shit he will put her through." Phil yelled at my dad, he was so loud I am sure the whole fucking neighborhood heard him and his dumb mouth.

I had had enough, I was not going to sit and listen to them demean Edward and our relationship. I walked up to where Phil was standing and slapped him across the face. Hard, my hand hurt afterwards and his right cheek had a red mark of my handprint.

"How dare you! You do not know Edward, hell, you don't even know me that well, so you do not get to say things like that. No one does, no one! I am so sick of it, you should be supportive and love me with all of my choices, not demean them and hurt my feeling about it, you just don't! I want to marry him someday, I want to spend my forever with him, so you better start acting right if you want to be a part of that…" I was fuming; I know it and everyone in the fucking room know. I had tears going down my face and I knew my face was red, showing my anger. My dad looked kind of proud and was nodding his head, but his eyes were narrowed on Rene and Phil, while they both looked kind of shocked. Phil looked mad at me for slapping him, but I really could not care.

Ding Dong

The sound of my doorbell going off kind of shocked me, I knew it was Edward and his family with Jazz and Rose in the other side of the door. The living room was right there, if they had been standing there for a little while they would have heard everything.

This realization only served to piss me off even more though.

"If he heard one word of what you said and he is upset, just leave now!" I whispered that, I didn't want Edward to hear how really upset I was. He would blame himself for and there was no way I was going to let that happen. I just couldn't.

I turned on my heel and walked to the door and took some calming breaths, wiping away the tears that were still pouring out of my eyes. Trying my very best to get my feeling under control.

I opened the door putting on the best smile that I could for them.

"H-Hey everyone. Come on in." My voice cracked and my eyes connected with Edward's sad looking ones. The smile vanished from my face.

He heard.

He was standing in front of everyone and I instantly was pulled into his arms and started to sob into his chest. I just couldn't hold it in anymore and even though Edward was my comforter, I had to release my emotions and he was the only person I could do that with.

"I'm sorry. So, so sorry, Edward. I love you."

"Shh. I know, baby. Its okay, I love you too. Come on, let's go inside." He tightened his grip on me and then released me from one arm and kept one around my waist, knowing that I still needed to have him holding me. I kept my head buried in his chest because my tears would not stop coming. We all walked into the house and stopped at the entrance of the living room.

Charlie saw me crying and his head shot over to Phil and he was pointing daggers at him, Rene looked a little embarrassed and Phil still had the slap mark across his face.

"Damn Bella, he is still all red faced from your slap. Good job…" said Emmet as he tightened his hold on Rosalie's waist and put his other hand on my shoulder and squeezed reassuringly. Emmet to was too staring deadly at Phil

"Bella, why don't you take everyone up to your room. I believe you father, Esme and I need to have a talk with Phil and your mother, Rene." Carlisle said, sounding extremely calm, but his face and body language didn't show it.

Carlisle POV

Asshole.

Bitch.

How Bella became so sweet when she was raised by these two close minded people surprised me greatly. I did not like to call people names just because of how my son is treated. It hurts me greatly to have to hear about the things his peers say of him.

Edward is a good man. Strong and brave. If any of the people in this town had gotten to know him before casting a judgment on him, I am sure he would have been quite happy.

I will never be able to show my happiness in its full force that I have towards Bella. The day she moved her to live with her father, one of the best men that I know, she has been a blessing towards my family. The way she has brought all of my children, Jasper and Rosalie included, happiness, the life in my household has just been better. She is a good natured soul and after seeing the way she clutched to Edward when she opened the door was a truly beautiful sight to see, minus the tears of course.

When we arrived Edward had been quite excited, he was certain that this dinner would be fun and he would win over Bella's mother. I know he very much appreciated his time with Bella and would never let anything try and knock him off his pedestal that he always seemed to hop on at the mention of her name. But, then we heard the screaming from a man that I assumed to be Bella's step father. He was saying some terrible things of my son and the relationship that he and Bella shared. I also heard the distinct sound of a slap and then Bella's rant. I heard how upset she was through the door, but she still sounded remarkably strong as she defended her love for my son.

I looked over at my son and all the happiness that had been taking over his face just moments ago was now filled with the sadness that I had become so used to seeing over the years before Bella and also some anger as he heard the questioning of their love.

He seemed to relax a bit more when he heard Bella saying she wished to marry him one day, a small smile even graced his face.

I even smiled when I heard that. Bella talking of a forever with my son was a very nice thing to hear.

But when Bella opened the door with her face stained with tears, he looked almost pained to see her like that.

As they shared their embrace I looked over the rest of my family, Emmet and Jasper were both red faced with anger, Esme looked as if she was going to cry, Rose looked like she wanted rip someone's head off, and Alice's eyes were red with tears waiting to over flow and her cheeks were flushed, her hands clutching into fists.

These two people, which I was supposed to share a nice dinner with to celebrate the love our children have found in one another, had not only made their own child upset, but also managed in hurting my whole family as well.

We entered the house and I suggested the children go up to Bella's room so I could talk to this Phil…I tried to keep my calm, I am not one for anger, but upset my family, making Bella cry, was just too much for me to keep my cool.

Charlie, Esme, and I sat on one couch while Phil and Rene sat on the other across the room.

"I would like to speak first," Esme started, I was a little surprised, she was usually a very quiet woman, but then again you mess with one of her children, her claws come out, "I am quite upset with both of your behavior, not only did you make your own daughter cry, and I consider Bella just as much a part of my family as I do any of my other children, but you also hurt every single one of my children with the thing you said of my son. And I find it repulsive that you have at least not apologized yet…"

Rene answered my wife's speech, "Mrs. Cullen, we do not know your son so, I don't think an apology is necessary… "

"You are right, Rene. You do not know my son and neither does your husband, giving you now right to say anything cruel to him or about him. But, you do know Bella. Do you think that she is the kind of girl who would choose to be with someone that would hurt her in the long run? She is a smart enough girl to know who is good and who is not." I said as I interrupted Rene. Her actually saying that she did not know my son was and would not apologize for either her actions of her husbands was sickening. That she was still able to be cruel proved to me what a close and absent minded person she really was and I had no respect for her or for Phil.

There were light footsteps coming down the stairs and I saw Alice appear in the entrance to the living room. I also saw the death glare she sent Phil and Rene before she spoke, "Bella said that the roast should be almost ready, so I came down here to check on it and start to prepare the side dishes. Bella still seemed quite upset, so it will be just Rose and I down here right now. Is that okay?"

"Yes, thank you Alice." Said Charlie as he turned back to face Phil and Rene. "I really do not want either of you in my house for not only making my daughter cry, but for also disrespecting our guests. But I think you owe Bella and Edward an apology, and it is not my place to ask you to leave. If Bella or Edward feels at all uncomfortable with your presence, then they will tell me or tell them yourselves they wish for you to leave. I know how much those two love each other, I also know that someday, Carlisle and Esme will be our in laws and Edward will be our son in law, so like Bella said if you want to be a part of their lives I suggest you straighten up."

Rene looked kind of ashamed of herself, but Phil didn't seem to think anything he said had been wrong or hurtful and I was really wanting to follow Bella's lead and just punch the hell out of this guy.

"Dinner is ready…"

A/N

How awful are Rene and Phil? I mean really!

The beginning of it was sweet to write, but this last part was kind of upsetting to write. I don't like writing those things about Edward, but they are necessary for the story.

I hope you liked Carlisle's POV, he was kind of nice to write and I liked giving a new perspective to Bella and Edward's relationship. And I loved kick ass Esme.

And Charlie is just plain awesome.

Thanks to everyone for wishing my boyfriend 'Get well soon' means so much! He is doing better, finally letting me take care of him without him whining about being fine and that he can handle the pain because he is a man. Boys!

My finals are done too! Yippee!

Did anyone see Water for Elephants this weekend? I loved it! All Rob fans should totally see it and the book is pretty amazing as well.

And of course thanks to everyone for the reviews! Loving you all. (: Hope you had a great Easter and that this week is good you!

Next Chapter: Thursday 4/28/11
