Disclaimer: Sorry, I don't own twilight . . . I hope you understand sniff lol


We stopped in front of the Hotel and waited for them to check in, have their luggage brought to their room and then come out again to spend the evening with the Cullens and me.

"Wow, that's one weird woman," Alice hissed.

"Alice! She's Bella's mother!" Edward reminded her, a little shocked that Alice would say such a thing about my mother.

"Edward, I'm sure you've listened to her thoughts. Alice is right. My mom is really weird," I told him. That reminded me of something, "By the way, what did she think?"

Edward snorted. "That we seem to intomate and too close. She thinks it is all just a crush. Bella . . . she wants us to split up. She will try to get us away from each other . . ." He said. Grief, sorrow and pain filled his face. He looked down, not wanting to look me straight into the eyes.

"Edward," I said with as much love I could manage – which is pretty much everything I have, since it is my love for him – "I could never, do you hear me, never ever leave you . . ." I bit my bottom lip and contiued, "I would rather leave my mother, Charlie and everyone I know . . . I would rather die than leave you. You know this Edward. Tell me you know this, for this is the reason I keep pressing you about changing me. I couldn't live if you ever left me . . ."

This time he looked me straight in the eyes and whispered, "I know Bella. I love you." He kissed me slightly on my lips and when I looked into his eyes again I saw somethingthat made my heart stutter . . . I saw decision.

Unfortunately my mother returned in that very moment and she did not like what she saw, so it was a silent ride to the Cullens', but when we reached their mansion her and Phil's jaw dropped. Edward, Alice and I couldn't help but laugh.

When we entered the rest of the Cullens was standing on the platform next to the door, Carlisle and Esme in the front.

"Welcome to our house!" Carlisle greeted mom and Phil. He and Esme stepped towads them and the 'children' went to us and Emmett greeted me with a brotherly pat on my shoulder.

"May I introduce you to my wife Esme and my family. Emmet and Rosalie, Jasper and of course you know Alice, as well as Edward. And Bella is by now also a part of our family."

Mom's displeasure towards these words were clearly visible. "Thank you Dr Cullen," she said and shook hands with Carlisle and Esme.

"Bella, don't you think it is rude to bother them so much?" she whispered, but Esme, my second mother, helped me out by saying "Oh no, Mrs Swan. It's a pleasure to have Bella and to see her and my youngest son so happy."

I turned around to Edward and nearly burst out laughing about Esme's words 'my youngest son' . . . if Renee knew . . .. Edward gave me his heartbreaking crooked grin and we all sat down at a huge round table, set for ten people. I gave Edward a questioning look, but he just told me to sit down – between him and my mother. I was going to hate that seating arrangement.

Suddenly Esme and Rosalie emerged from the kitchen carrying plates with delicious food and Phil, mom and I started eating. I kept wondering what the Cullens would do about the whole food thing, but suddenly Alice started coughing like mad and Jasper patted her back.

"Water!" Jasper screamed and Esme ran to the kitchen. Of course Phil and mom looked at her and the Cullens used that moment of distraction to pass a bin around under the table and they cleaned their plates into it. I smiled at Edward and winked at the cullens, especially Alice and Jasper. They grinned, too, until I saw Alice's lips move. I didn't hear a word, but everyone retuned their attention to Esme, running out of the kitchen with a glass of water. Alice touched the glass with her lips, but never a single drop of water touched them.

When everyone was finished (concentrating more on the three humans at the table) mom thanked the Cullens and Esme for the dinner and said that they had to return to the hotel now.

"Bella, you should return to Charlie as well. It's already pretty late and you have school tomorrow," she said and it was clear that she wanted me to leave Edward's presence when she could not watch me.

"Well, mom . . . since I spend most of my time with Edward and the Cullens, I've . . . er . . . kind of moved in with them . . .," I stuttered, unsure how to tell her.

"You WHAT?" Ooops, ok, I would have hoped her to react better.

"I have moved in with Edward."

"As your mother I order you . . ."

"No, mom!" I interrupted her. "I am eighteen years old and you can not order me anything. I'm staying with Edward!" Whosh. I really was mad at her.

"But as soon as you two break up . . ."

"We WON'T break up, mom, ok!" Now I was screaming at her. I took a deep breath and continued more calmly, "This isn't just some teenage crush. I love Edward, and the Cullens are already more of a family for me than you and Charlie have ever been. Please mom, leave now and call me if you've calmed down. But not before tomorrow. You have my mobile number."

With that I turned my back to her and went into Edwards open arms. Edward hugged me tight and I would swear I could hear my mother sob before the door closed behind her. Carlisle would drive her home since Edward and I weren't capable of that with my mood.

Edward carried me to our room (I do love the sound of that) and placed me on the bed they had bought for me to sleep on. It was a huge four-poster made of very dark wood. Maybe mahagoni but I'm no specialist on that matter. When I started sobbing he would hum my lullaby and I fell asleep in his cold arms which were holding me tightly and all what I needed at that moment.

"I love you," he whispered.
