Return to Forks

A/N Thanks to all you who reviewed. Let's recap shall we

"Emmett." I screamed and ran over to him and he wrapped me up in one of his bear hugs.

"Bella it's so good to see you. I've missed you so much!"

"Emmett can't breathe."

"Oh sorry Bells. We have to wait here because I'm collecting some friends along with you. I can introduce you to my girlfriend."

Suddenly I hear a loud scream from behind me. "Bella!" All I can see is a black-haired pixie running towards me.

"Oh my lord. Emmett is you're brother. Aagh! Wow. This is so fantastic!"

Emmett bursts out into a booming laugh that makes people stop and stare, "I see you guys already met."

Bpov

"Yeah we met on the plane," Alice said. "Bella called me gorgeous and the rest is history. You know how I love people complimenting me Emmett."

Emmett laughed, "So Bella, you've probably met Rose as well."

What? I wasn't really listening, I was too busy thinking about who Emmett's girlfriend could be. It couldn't be Alice though because she's with Jasper so it must be a friend of hers. The only other people it could be were Edward or ...

"No feckin way! You and Rose?" He was looking at me strangely, probably trying to figure out whether I approve. "It's okay Em, I approve one hundred percent. Rose is awesome"

He grinned his huge grin, lifted me off the ground and wrapped me up in one of his bear hugs again. "I'm so glad you approve Bella. I know you guys will get on great."

"Ahem," I heard a cogh from behind me. Emmett put me down spinned me around to face who it was. It was Rose, Jasper and Edward. "Would somebody care to explain what is going on?" Why do I find my boyfriend wrapped around a person I have just been newly acquainted with?"

"Oh Rose, this might look a little weird to you but Emmett's my brother, you know the one I've come to live with."

Rose suddenly went bright red. Alice, Jasper, Edward and especially Emmett all looked shocked. I take it that Rose does not get embarrassed easily.

"Oh my, I'm so sorry Bella. Honestly, it was so stupid of me to think ... never mind." She turned to Emmett. "You, on the other hand, could've told me that you're sister was coming to live with you. I never even knew you had a sister. Isn't that one of the first things you learn about your partners, you know about their family and stuff."

I turned to face Emmett, "You never told them about me? Why?"

He looked so ashamed and sad right then that I couldn't stay angry at him. I went over and hugged him.

"I'm sorry Bells, really I am. You just never really came up in a conversation and I didn't know how to say it, you know. Then when I got the call that you were coming here to live, Rose and all were in Ireland so I thought wouldn't it be great to surprise you all." He looked so sincere I just had to believe him. How is it that I can never stay angry at him for long? Even when we were younger and we fought I'd always forgive him easily.

"Aw Em pet, I know you were trying to surprise them and I suppose it is kinda sweet but honestly wouldn't have just been easier to tell them about me." He gave me a small smile.

"Yeah I suppose so. Well I suppose I'd better get you guys home. Charlie will want to see you Bella when he gets home and I gues your parents will want to see you guys too."

We all headed outside and went over to Emmett's jeep. It was one of them off road things. I don't know, I'm not good with cars. Someone could ask me what kind of car my friend has and I'll say something stupid like a blue one. If a car looks nice I'll say so but I'm not going to remeber the type and how fast it goes or what kind of engine it has. Does it really matter as long as you get to where you want to?

In the drive home I learned that Rosalie lived with Jasper. They're cousins. Her mother died when she was younger and her father had left before that and nobody has heard from him since. Jasper's mum and Rosalie's mum were twins. His family adopted her when she was eight. They grew up in Texas but moved here just over a year ago.

Alice and Edward are brother and sister and they were adopted by a Dr. Cullen and his wife when Alice was seven and Edward eight. They moved to Forks shortly after I left.

We left Rosalie and Jasper of at their house first. It was a dormer and was sitting on top of a hill. The house was painted a beige colour and had beautiful lilac and white flowers climbing up the wall. The garden was huge and was tiered like a wedding cake. On the first tier was a small pond and a set ot table and chairs. The second tier had various shrubs growing and they were dotted here and there. On the third tier small trees were growing but in the centre of them all was vast oak tree. It was beautiful. I loved it. A small red brick wall ran round the top of the garden.

Next we went to the Cullens. Their house was very different from the Hale's. It was a huge three-storied white farmhouse with a porch running the whole way around the house. It had blue shutters on the windows. On one side of the porch was a swing seat. The garden at the front was small with many different coloured trees framing the curved lane towards the house.

"Bella do you want to come to our house tomorrow. It sucks that I have to work tomorrow but I finish at lunchtime. I'd really love it. Rose and Jazz are coming too. You can meet our parents and then you can sleep over. Oh Oh Oh I can give you a make-over!" She was jumping in her seat with excitement. When I groaned, she pouted.

"Bella you have to let me give you a make-over. Please." She then did the puppy dog eyes at me and I had to let her win this.

"Alright Alice, you win this time. But never again." She squealed and hugged me while Edward and Emmett laughed.

"Good luck Bella. You have no idea what you've gor yourself into. Alice is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to make-overs ... and Rose too," Edward said chuckling to himself.

"Sounds like you've been on the recieving end of one these infamous make-overs." At that Alice and Emmett burst out laughing and Edward just scowled at me.

"Bella we must go now, Esme and Carlisle will be wondering where we are. I'll see you tomorrow Bella, Emmett."

"Bye, missing you already Alice." I said putting on this weepy voice. She laughed. "Miss you too Bella," she said, imitating my voice perfectly.

She got out of the car and so did Edward. Just before the door closed, I heard her say to Edward "Don't forget to call Jessica in the morning or she'll be bugging me at work tomorrow." She didn't amused.

A/N This is a bit of a crappy chapter but I'm just not feeling good today. My brother, Aodh had to collect me early from school. Do you know what will make me feel better ... reviews. Thanks to all that have reviewed so far.
