Pulling up to probably one of the, if not THE biggest houses I have ever seen was defiantly a little bit daunting. It was so absolutely breath taking. Jasper stuck his hand out of the window and put his hand up to a pad and it scanned it and let us in. The security of this place defiantly helped me ease my mind.

We got out of the car and Emmett and Jasper got all of our things for us. Not without argument from me that I could get my own things. Jasper's southern roots would never allow a lady to carry her own things. Alice opened the door to the humongous mansion and in front of me stood the two most beautiful people.

Carlisle looked just as young as Charlie and gave off the same fatherly presence when he wrapped little Alice into a protective embrace. What I wasn't prepared for is the love I would see radiating off Esme for both Emmett and myself. It was so motherly and that is something we have not felt in a long time.

She must have seen the sadness and longing in my eyes for that love. As she pulled me into the biggest hug and whispered "Your home now darling." And as much as I didn't want to I believed her completely. For some reason this woman I have only known for 5 minutes made me feel like I belonged.

"Hello and welcome to our home. I am so dishearten to hear what happened to my old friend Charlie. I am glad he sent you here, we will take care of you and love you like you were our own. Just like we have done with Rose as Jas." Carlisle said softly to the both of us.

He was everything I think Emmett and I needed him to be to feel comfortable to some degree here. He was like dad in ways, but in others not. I was interested to see how we would all work together. He would never be Charlie, but this is where he wanted us to be, so we had to at least try.

"Mom, we made the reservations for your birthday lunch tomorrow on the flight over and included Emmett and Bella and then us girls can shop after!" Alice said brightly to her mother. "Thank you darling daughter, however you might want to make it for one less. Edward cant leave Italy for 3 more week unfortunately the project has run over." Esme said solemnly with a sad smile.

Ugh shopping I was not looking forward to that. But I would do it for them because they were already doing so much for us. "Oh Mom I'm sorry he isn't going to make it, I swear this family is always working that blows." Rose said "I know honey but its late lets get into bed and we can talk about it over breakfast." She said sweetly.

I knew Emmett had to be starving, but he didn't say anything. I would make him something extra in the morning. He has been so great today.

"Emmett your room will be at the end of the hall next to Rose, and Bella we are so sorry your room is still under construction for the next few days getting your en suite put in. The only room left is Edward's and since he won't be home for a couple weeks we were hoping you wouldn't mind staying there."

And I didn't so long as it had a nice bed I was totally fine. "No Mrs. Cullen I really don't mind. Its 2 am and I really could sleep anywhere." I said with a large yawn that made my eyes water. "Oh sweetie please calls me Esme or Mom or just about anything else. When I hear Mrs. Cullen I look for Carlisle's mama." She smiled softly at me, and showed us to our rooms. Esme and Carlisle said we could discuss things in more detail once we had all had a proper night's sleep.

I walked into Edward's room and I was hit by the sweetest yet manly smell that I could only hope he smelled like. The thought made me smile even though it was absolutely crazy. Alice had shown me some pictures on the plane of the whole family and he stands out as the best looking male I have ever seen.

He looked like a Greek god in the photos, now a smell to go with it. I changed in to my shorts and tank top and laid in the most comfortable four poster king sized bed and drifted to sleep.

I was running around my hotel room trying to clean up and remember to pack everything back up that I brought here. Without forgetting the beautiful gift I had gotten my mother for her birthday. It was a gold necklace with all of her kids birthstones. I knew she would love it because anything family is Esme Cullen.

I lied to her though. I told her I had 3 weeks left on this project, however I busted my ass and we've been done for 2 days. Everything is set up and I will be in the states before anything could be connected to us. I killed the men that stole from us. I knew there was a rat. Turns out it was two and now they are eliminated.

With all of that out of the way I can make it home in time to surprise my mom by coming out of my room for breakfast. I know that will be just what she wants, all of here kids in the same place. Since Alice and Jas are getting married soon I don't know how many more times we will all wake up under the same roof.

So as the driver took me to the airport I started thinking about where my life was. I had never had the party lifestyle, always knowing I would be taking over for my father. But I could not do so without a wife, and my father was to good a man to force me into a marriage. He may be a killer, but he believed in family and love first.

And that's what I wanted. A true love to stand through the hard times, a partner to lean on like Esme is for my father. You need that in this life but how was I to bring someone into it. Esme was born in as was Alice. I just want an instant connection to someone, but I didn't think I would ever find something like that.

As I fly home to be with the only people I knew I could ever trust I couldn't help but be over flowing with joy. I hadn't seen my family in months. Carlisle let me know of Charlie Swan's death and that we would be keeping his children. I felt so terrible for them both. I couldn't imagine losing a parent to death in front of you eyes and then watching another just walk out without a care.

I would do what I could to make them feel at home if Carlisle trusted them. All I knew was it was a boy and a girl both deep into this life. So at least there would be something in common with all of us. Maybe we could be a good team who knows.

As my plane landed and I drove the familiar roads home I couldn't help but be thrilled to pull up to my childhood home. What I was looking forward to most is climbing into my large bed, and finally getting some rest which I feel like I haven't gotten since the day I left.

I went up the stairs and to the back end of the hall and opened up my door slowly trying not to alert anyone to the fact I was home early. When I opened my door it was pitch black, you couldn't you're your hand in front of your face. Just how I like to sleep, I thought to myself. Putting my bags down and stripping down to my Calvin Klein's, my room had a strange energy to it that I swear wasn't like that went I left.

I climbed slowly into my bed, and what happened next changed my whole world in five words. "Who the fuck are you?" The sweetest voice I have ever heard said in an angry yet sleepy daze. Her words took me by surprise even though I couldn't see her face I just felt calm with her. Like a peace Ive never known came over me. I couldn't explain it if I tried.

"I'm Edward Cullen." I said to her, debating if I should get out of the bed since I was kinda indecent to be in a bed with someone I didn't know. So as I started to slide of out the bed she stopped me and said sleepily "mmmh Edward I've heard a lot about you. But for now we need to sleep, and I feel tingly with you around you can stay." That sweet voice said to me.

And against my better judgment I couldn't make myself leave. She cuddled back to me and I wrapped my arms around her. I haven't even seen her face but I know she must be beautiful and with that I floated into the best sleep of my entire life.
