Bella's POV

Everything was fine after that fight. Justin and I got along, there wasn't a fight or an argument yesterday on Christmas Eve. I was happy and feeling giddy. That is until I woke up the next morning and remembered about the party. It went good though, Tanya and I didn't rip each others hair. We did yell bit, but there was not blood no harm. Grandpa Marcus came and brought me a gift. He gave me a beautiful necklace, it was a silver heart, around the edge of the heart was small diamonds, in the middle was the initials IMC. He explained that his wife, my grandmother, had gotten it for me before she died, she had placed it in a safe place where my mom was suppose to take it back when I turned 16. It was a tradition to give your grand daughter a necklace with her initials, on her 16 birthday. But since I wasn't with them, they never bothered to touch it. My grandpa placed it where it would stay for a long time, around my neck, and he asked me to dance with him. He was so nice and loving, I couldn't help but be happy, I only wished I would have had the honor of meeting my grandma.

New years Eve came and Alice and mom had planned it and were going all out. It made no sense that it should be a masquerade party, I mean it was New years. But they ignored me and went along with it. Alice had already bought me my dress, it was very pretty. It was strapless white with small ruffles, and short on my thighs. My mask was very beautiful, it was black and white and in some ways it reminded me of a fairy, in the middle there was a heart design right above the eyes. Alice's dress was a champion color, also strapless, short and it had a bow on the back, her mask matched her dress. Rosie's dress was short and red, very sexy and her mask was also beautiful, with feathers on the right.[Dresses on profile..with mask]

I was up stairs getting ready and doing my hair with the girls. They insisted on doing my make up which made no sense since we were going to wear mask, again they ignored me. When we were done we walked down the stairs where Edward, Emmett, and Jazz were waiting for us. You could say that there mouths were on the floor when the saw us. They quickly snapped out of it, Edward took my hand and kissed it. He was wearing a black tux with a white tie, Jazz had a black tux as well with a champion tie, Emmett dressed the same with a black tux and a red tie. There masks match ours except for Em's, his didn't have fathers. Mom looked beautiful dressed in blue, dad dressed in blue as well. I was dancing with Edward when dad appeared from behind and asked Edward if he could cut in, it's not like he can say no.

"Bella just like your mom has her own traditions, so do I. In our family it's a tradition for our daughters to get a tattoo of a lion on the bottom of her foot." He said with a serious face.

"Your kidding right dad." I asked with a nerves look. He cracked a smile.

"Yeah I'm kidding ." he laughed.

"Dad that's not funny."

"No but really, we do have a tradition. It's very random, but I have a house that's been passed out for years. I just remodeled it a bit so it wouldn't break or anything. It's suppose to be passed down to the youngest of the Cullen's. Your our youngest since my sister Jane doesn't have kids and Em is older. Every Cullen has to sign there name in the Family wall. Emmett did it when he was 16, your mother signed it after we married, I signed it when I was 18. Now it's your turn, your going to be the one to pass on the house to your youngest child, your husband will sign it, or should we say Edward." He chuckled and gave me a wink.

"Okay so let me get this straight, your telling me that I get a house and I sign it and I keep this tradition going?" he nodded. "Well I guess I should get myself tickets to where ever this house might be."

"Oh already done." He said holding up tickets.

"why is there 7 tickets in your hand dad?"

"Because, we want all of you to go and sign it."

"But I thought it was only Cullen's?"

"Bella, honey think for a minute. Rose will some day be Emmett's Wife, Edward will some day be your husband, Alice's is part of the Cullen family because she is you sister, and Jazz will some say marry her, and his your best friend. Is there anything wrong with that picture?" I giggled and kissed his cheek.

"No not at all dad." I laid my head on his chest.

"My little princess, I missed you so much. I felt lost with out you." he said as he kissed the top of my head.

"I'm hear dad, and I'm not going anywhere." I reassured him.

"It's not like any of us where letting you go." Emmett said from behind. "dad mind if I dance with my sister.""Of course not son, just try not to break her." He warned making us chuckle. Emmett took the lead.

"You know Bells, I don't approve of the length of that dress, but I'll admit, you look beautiful.""So you don't approve of my dress, but Rosalie's to long?" I asked.

"Yeah but she's not my sister." He pointed out.

"Well Emmett, as your sister let me just say that it's not fair." I whined.

"Jelly Belly, no one said it had to be fair. But anyways, we're taking a trip to you house tomorrow so we can come back in time for school."

"Emmett it's not really my house."

"Actually it is, you just have to make sure that you don't sell it. You can live in it now, it's just that I know you won't want too. It's to grand for you.""What does that even mean." I asked.

"Oh you'll know when you see it."

The rest of the night went smoothly with more dancing and then the count down for the new year. Of course, Edward was my new years kiss. It was sweet and loving, just like every kiss we shared. I loved him, I truly loved him.

The next day everyone was ready and set, we had all packed that night and had everything ready. I feel asleep in dad's house and Edward was coming over to pick me and Alice up. After saying goodbye to dad, he told me that mom and dad would be waiting at the airport so say goodbye. It was amazing how they were making a big fuzz over going for one week alone too Italy. After the goodbye's we bordered the plane. Edward traded seats with Jazz so he could sit wit Alice and I could sit with him. I leaned my head on his shoulders and decided to take a nap. He hold me tight to his body and never once let me go. I was momentarily in pure bliss.

"Bella, love. Wake up." I heard someone say.

"Mhhmm."

"Bella come one, were here, it's time to go."

"Carry me?" I asked making him chuckle.

"Of course love." he picked me up and then I notice I was awake and it wasn't a dream.

"Edward I was kidding, put me down." I said rubbing my eyes to see us in the airport crowded with people. I was glaring at Edward.

"I can walk you know.""Yeah, but you asked me to carry you, so it's exactly what I'm doing."

"I was asleep, I didn't know I wasn't dreaming."

"Oh but I love having you in my arms, can't you just let me have this." I pouted."Fine, you win." I said with a defeated voice.

"I love you Bella, you know that."

"I love you too Edward." After getting our luggage there was a man dressed in a suite, holding a sign that had Emmett, Isabella Cullen. I looked at Em confused and he chuckled.

"I told you grand." he said, making me feel even more confused. Emmett walked over to him and greeted him.

"Hi peter, it's nice to see you again." Emmett said patting him on the shoulder. He looked around his 30s.

"Hello master Emmett." I was so lost.

"Peter, I told you no master stuff." "I'm sorry Emmett." and he chuckled.

"That's better. No I think I should introduce you to my sister Isabella Marie Swan Cullen." Emmett said pulling me to his side with pure pride.

"Lady Isabella, it's a pleasure to meet you." He said bowing at me. This was all to formal for me.

"It's Bella, and same too you. Nice too meet you as well." I said to him. I looked at Edward and he had the same confused expression I had. Peter should us to the limo and we got in. The drive there was quite, I knew everyone was confused, besides Emmett.

"Oh my gosh. Bella you're a princesses." Alice screamed. I laughed.

"Ali there hasn't been a princess in Italy for a very long time. Since 1940s." I told her.

"Well then why is your driver being all formal and saying master and lady."

"I don't know, ask Emmett." we all looked at him.

"Well I'll explain after you all take a look at Bella's new house. It's to the right." we all looked out the window to see a beautiful mansion outside. It looked like a castle but smaller, yet huge. It was a beautiful sight. I loved it, now I understood when he meant I wouldn't want to live here because it was to grand for me. He was right of course, as beautiful as this was, I could not live here. Peter parked the limo right in front of the huge big doors. He opened the door for us and we made our way out. There where servants outside waiting for us, some took our luggage inside, the others where bowing at us. I was still very confused.

"Sir Emmett, it's a pleasure to have you back. Might I ask where our lady Isabella is at?" I women asked. She wasn't dressed as a servant more like a secretary. Emmett again pulled me to my side and said with pride.

"Lady's and gentleman, meet my little sister Bella Swan Cullen." He said.

"Lady Isabella, it's a pleasure to finally meet you." The lady said too me.

"Please, I don't want any formal talk around me. I'm just Bella." I told her nicely."As you wish Bella." She said too me.

"Oh and this is Bella's Boyfriend Edward, her sister Alice, her boyfriend Jasper, and my girlfriend Rose." Emmett said.

"It's good too see that both master Emmett and Lady Bella have found someone." She said. We all smiled at her.

"Catherin did you get the guest rooms ready?" Emmett asked.

"Yes, just how you ordered Emmett. I have the guest room ready for miss Alice and mister Jasper. Your room is ready as well, and Bella's as well."

"Thank you. Now let's get inside I'm sure everyone's confused." She nodded and opened the door. I gasped at the inside. It was beautiful. There was lights and the stairs, with beautiful paintings and sculptures.

"Holly fucken shit." I said.

"Wow." I heard 4 other people say behind me.

"We'll be leaving now, if there's anything we can do for you please don't hesitate to ask." She said before we were all alone in the huge beautiful hall. Emmett walked us down the hall even deeper and we saw picture.

"Back when there was still kings and queens, our family ruled Italy. Eventually Italy became a republican and there was not more kings and queens. Our last queen was dad's great grandmother Isabella Kathrin Cullen. Ironic much, not really. Mom and dad named you after her. So Alice is sort of right, you aren't a princesses because that's not how Italy runs, but if it did you would be a princesses." I gasped.

"Your serious." I asked him.

"Yeah" He said smoothly.

"Wow. So this is mine." I said looking all around it.

"Yeah, just like dad said. It's been passed down to the youngest Cullen of the family. That's you sis." He said. We walked to the front of another doubled door, he opened the doors and we walked inside. It was formed like a study room. There was a wall, all over it there was names and signatures everywhere. It was all in a beautiful writing. I looked at the last names printed in the wall; Carlisle Cullen, Esme Cullen, Emmett Cullen. I traced there signatures and I was mesmerized by how beautiful it really was. Emmett walked over to me and gave me an ink pen, it wasn't a normal pen, it had a darker ink. I smiled at him and leaned down a bit. I signed my name beneath mom and dad's, I handed it to Rose and she smiled with a bit of a shocked expression. Emmett and I pushed her to the wall and she leaned down and signed it next to Emmett's name. Then she gave it back too me and I handed it to Alice, she was even more shocked and I could see tears forming in her eyes. Again Emmett and I urged her and she did. She signed her name below mine and Emmett's, she gave me back the pen. I walked over to Jasper and kissed his cheek, placing the pen in his hand. He hesitated for a moment, but he finally signed it next to Alice's name. He finally gave me the pen back, and I walked over to the most important person. I looked into his eyes and smiled at him lovingly. He nodded, knowing with out words what I wanted him to do. He took the pen from my hand and signed his named next to mine. He gave it back and I kissed his lips.

"That means a lot to me Bella." He said.

"It means a lot to me that you all signed it. Your part of my family, Dad, mom, Emmett, and I are glad you were part of our tradition." I said looking at Rose, Alice, Jazz, and then Edward. They all smiled. I looked back at the wall and new that forever it would be marked as my family, my best friends.
