Ch. 20 Edward POV - I adore her
"Well ladies, I'm gonna leave you two to talk and I'm going to go help mom make sandwiches for lunch. Join us when you're done," I say and kiss Bella on the top of her head and leave.
As I walk towards the kitchen, I realize that Bella is perfect for me. She rolls with the punches and seems to take my family's dysfunction with a grain of salt.
"Hey mom, want some help?"
"I'd love some help sweetheart, I feel like I haven't been able to spend any time with you."
"I know, I'm sorry I have ignored you all so much. I'm just trying to make sure Bella and her family have a good time. I want to keep them around you know."
"I know. Bella is wonderful, dear. Here, cut up the lettuce and tomato while we chat. I hope you know that your father and I adore Bella. Charlie and your dad are thick as thieves already but, Jasper has kept to himself a bit so I hope I get to know him better too."
"I'm so glad you approve, not that it would have changed my mind, but it does make things easier. Mom, I love her. I think she just might be the one. What do you think of a new daughter in the not so distant future?" I look over at mom and she has tears coming down her face.
"Oh Edward, I knew it the second I met her. Your auras mesh so well and are in perfect sync." Of course she had to go there with her hippie shit. That's my mom and I love her so I let it be.
"Thanks, Mom, I'm not sure if I want Grandma Masen's ring or if I'm going to get one on my own. Do you think I can take the ring with me and if I don't use it, I will bring it back?"
"Sounds good to me; my mother always wanted that ring to be yours anyway."
"Thanks, Mom, now do you think you can keep this conversation between us?"
"Of course, baby, that's your business," she says as she pats me on the cheek, only the way a mother can.
"Thanks, Mom, I love you." I kiss her on the cheek and try to figure out the best way to tell Bella I love her.
