"Now let's all remember we are all friends and we need to behave" I said looking directly at Charlie. "Charlie, I'm talking to you, in case you missed it"

His mustache twitched, an indication his façade was cracking but he otherwise held his stance. Sue was chuckling into her hand

"Alrighty then, oh lovely family of mine, this is Edward Cullen, Edward, my dad Charles, his lovely girlfriend Sue and her children Leah and Seth. You remember Jas"

"It's nice to meet you" Edward said politely

"he's British" Leah said picking up the accent. I think she smiled a little. I rolled my eyes but I couldn't blame her. My British guy was hot, his accent was a plus.

"The term I'd use is English, but yes I'm from the UK" he answered her with a smirk. Leah's eyes widened as she took him in. Jasper rolled his eyes. I elbowed him to stop, his smirk and his accent was what made most teenage girls swoon. He looked at me and smiled

"So can I talk to him now?" Charlie said breaking the atmosphere a bit

"Charlie…."

"Oh c'mon angel, you had your turn with Sue. I didn't complain"

"He does have a point Bella" Sue told me Traitor I told her and voiced my thought and she just laughed

"Fine, I owe Seth a game anyway. Be nice daddy" I said "C'mon Seth you owe me five bucks"

I dragged Seth out of the room, leaving Edward to my father. I beat Seth the first time, but he stole the floor the second and third, maybe it was because of my lack of concentration.

"Seth bed time" Sue said taking the control from him and roughing his hair. He left without much fight. I changed the channel to a comedy drama. I covered myself with the knitted blanket over the couch

Sue brought my plate to the living room "it's good you're letting him do this, he gets to have that tough dad act down" I smiled at her. She sat down with me while I finished my dinner.

"Have you eaten Edward?" I looked up to see Edward wearing a smile; it couldn't have been that bad

"Can I have what Bella is having? if it's no trouble" he asked

"Sure I'll be back" she replied

"Join me?" I asked patting the seat. He sat beside me, arms behind the headrest, I cuddled into him. this was okay. At some point I fell asleep in Edward arms, drifting off to the first dreamless sleep I had in three long years.
