Bella:

I follow Edward out to the hallway, more than interested in who he's invited.

"Don't hate me; please," Edward begs before he opens the door.

"Now you're scaring me," I whisper just as he opens the door.

"Mum, Dad, come in," Edward opens the door wider, allowing his parent's to enter his home.

I swear; tears form in my eyes. How could I hate him? "I love you, Edward!" I exclaim, jumping at him, wrapping my legs around his waist and kissing him like crazy. We only break apart when we hear someone coughing.

I kinda forgot we weren't alone.

"Sorry," I mumble to Esme and Carlisle, blushing brightly.

"Come on, let's talk in the living room," Edward says, keeping me standing in front of him as we walk to the living room. I giggle and wriggle in his grip a little, causing him to growl. "You're gonna pay for that later, missy," he whisper huskily in my ear, grinding into me when his parent's aren't looking.

We all take our seats on the spare sofa's, Alice and Jasper still looking quite cosy together. Edward pulls me onto his lap in the armchair while his parent's sit on the spare sofa. For a while there's heavy tension, a silence filling the room. No one knows who should speak first.

"Thank you for inviting us here, Edward," Esme begins, smiling kindly at her son. How anyone could stay mad at her, I'll never know.

"Yes. Hopefully this time we can remain more…civil, when speaking," Carlisle adds, looking down ashamedly. "Edward and Bella, I want you to know, I truly am sorry for my behaviour. I know it's a pathetic excuse, but I was just worried. I didn't want my son to get hurt again. Now, I realise I was the one who was hurting you," Carlisle apologises sincerely.

"You should've taken my word for it when I said I was happy," Edward replies stubbornly.

"I know, I realise that now," Carlisle nods. Edward slides me off his lap, and I initially worry that he's gonna hit Carlisle or something. But, they just hug. In a manly way, of course. Though, Esme and I can both see the emotion in our man's faces.

When Edward sits down again, he immediately pulls me back into his lap. I told you – he can't stop touching me.

"Edward called me at first 'cause he thought he'd need me to help him grovel to get you back," Carlisle chuckles.

"I've only just forgiven you dad, don't push it," Edward warns, but he's still smiling.

"Don't worry, I made him grovel enough," I assure Carlisle, kissing Edward when he turns his glare to me. He can never stay mad at me.

"Too right. Now, I love my son, but he sure as hell messed up! I'm surprised you took him back!" Esme laughs. In the end, Edward glares at all of us.

"Anyway, mother, I'd like to introduce you to my new PA, Jasper Whitlock," Edward says, gesturing over to Jasper.

"Hello, Mr and Mrs Cullen," Jasper replies politely.

"It's Esme and Carlisle, and it's very nice to meet you," Esme replies, standing up to give Jasper a hug.

"You better not be anything like that idiot, Tyler," Carlisle half jokes, half warns.

"I have a good feeling about him," Alice declares, smiling over at Jasper.

"Why thank you, dar- Alice," Jasper says, only just managing to catch himself from calling Alice darling.

I snigger while Edward growls.

I think Jasper's gonna be good for Alice. But maybe not so good for Edward's health.
