Chapter 13

Bella's POV

It's been a few months, my life is great. Edward drives me to and from school, he and the wolf pack get along pretty well, and for my children they love him to death. They call him dad. It shocked me at first but now it's just part of the routine. They still look seven, I am glad they haven't grown anymore.

My house is now being repainted because of the new addition. We now have two bathrooms and three new bedrooms one upstairs and the other two downstairs. Today is another day, I wake up in Edwards embrace but his features are full of worry.

"What's wrong?"

"You were screaming in your dreams again." He says with the worry that is on his face.

"Oh, I don't remember dreaming." I say with frustration, this is the fifth time this month I have screamed in my dreams, but I can't remember what I was dreaming. Edward frowns at this, but then smiles.

"Well I am going to make breakfast." He kisses my forehead, which is as far as we have gone, mostly thanks to my darling son who always comes in and breaks up our moments so we kind of gave up on that. But I think he does this because I know I'm not completely ready, but I know I should be I mean for god sake he lives with me basically.

"Ok" I say to him.

He unravels me and leaves the room; I continue to lie on the bed.

It's Saturday morning, Edward is planning something for a family outing. I feel so horrible, I still haven't given Edward the signal that I am ready for a real relationship, my kids adore him, Jake and the pack have accepted him, but yet I cannot bring myself to say I love you Edward, to go on a date just me and him. I mean he sleeps with me at night, I can handle him being around all night and day every second of everyday but I am scared to death to except that we are in love though it's totally clear.

I am so afraid; I know he is nothing like Michel, obviously. But I am just; I should protect myself from getting hurt. But then again Chris would not love him like a father if he was to hurt me. I sigh, I am going to go on a date with him tell him I love him and that's that. I get out of bed and dress in some casual clothes when I hear a crashing sound. Déjà voo anyone.

I run downstairs to find, Edward, Chris and Jake rolling on the floor wrestling each other.

"I got you daddy" Chris has Edward pinned with Jake's help; I couldn't hold back my laughter.

They look up at me,

"Hey mom, we didn't wake you up?" Chris gets off Edward. He has that puppy face that I always fall for.

"No I was awake." I reply. Edward jumps off the floor and walks over to me and kisses my cheek.

"So what is the plan for today?" I ask sitting down at the table. Edward gets some eggs out and Piper crinkles her nose.

"What is that horrible smell?" My heart sinks, Michel couldn't eat eggs; it's a werewolf thing, I think.

"I am making eggs." Edward raises an eyebrow, we just had eggs yesterday and she didn't have an issue.

"And to answer your question, I thought you and the kids could meet my family." He has my favorite partial smile.

"YEA!" Piper cheers.

"I get to meet Rose, and Emmet. Oh gosh Chris do you hear this?" Piper is jumping up and down with excitement.

"No not at all Piper, I am deaf in the ears." Chris rolls his eyes.

"Dad can you make pancakes instead." Chris asks, and then sits in his chair.

"Yeah sure" Edward must have read his mind, because he has that look. I hate that, I know he can't read my mind but now Chris, Piper and Edward always have private conversations. But I have discovered just a few days ago that Piper can't read my mind anymore. It upsets her, but I am glad, I can now have some mind privacy and have a few fantasies. Chris can still get visions on my future but that's it.

We have also learned that they have quite a few gifts. Piper can see the past, (she can see my past so they now know about how they were conceived) Chris sees the future, Chris also can see people worst fears and Piper can see their hopes. Chris can't read other peoples' minds but his sisters, and when they do touch each other their power intensifies. I was never really explained how much it does. Which bothers me somewhat but I guess if they want me to know they will tell me.

Jake and Seth join us at the table; Edward puts large plate on the table full of pancakes. We all dig in but Edward, he scrunches his nose; he can't stand human food, because he is a vampire. He turns back to the stove and makes more food.

I hear the door open it seems the rest of the pack have arrived, including their imprints. I notice Jared, the newest wolf, and his imprint also here. I am a little taken back because he didn't want to come here because he was afraid that he would hurt the kids.

"Hey you guys Edward is making breakfast." I smile they all sit down.

"That's why we are here Saturday breakfast." Paul smiles getting a plate of food. Yeah a new thing that has began ever since the packed tasted Edward's cooking a few Saturdays ago and then it was demanded that every Saturday we get together and have breakfast.

Everyone is talking about plans, and the weekend homework Billy assigned. I smile, I have a family the perfect family with its flaws, and I wish that my mom and dad were here to see this.

Edward puts the last of his labors on the table and takes the seat next to me.
"Edward man this is so freaking good, I am amazed a parasite can cook" Paul laughs.

"And I am surprised a mongrel of your standards would even eat it." Edward smiles back.

This is how they are, calling each other names but not really meaning any of it. It took a few weeks for them to get used to each other, and to get used to the smell of one another.

"Ok, this week Leah and Embry have dishes" Sam tells us.

We all laugh at the sights of their faces, they hate doing dishes but it's only fair, yeah we have a chart of who does dishes when. There have been too many fights about it. I had to get a new table because of them phasing so we had to fix that.

"So when do we go to your house?" I ask.

"Um here in an hour or so." Edward replies.

"Wait you are to his house today?" Seth asks.

"Yes, the kids and I are meeting his family." I answer Seth.

"Can I come?" He asks with a puppy dog face. I look to Edward who is trying to hold back from laughing.
"I don't care Seth" I sigh.

"Yes" He runs off to the living room.

"Edward, do you want to go out tonight just the two of us?" I eye the table not really sure of his response.

"I would love to." I look up to Edward, his eyes are excited.

"Ok then." We interlink our fingers and join the rest of our family in the living room.
