3. New Family

"Bella?" Edward's velvet voice murmured in my ear. We were sitting on his bed, and I was in his lap, with his arms around me.

"Yes?" I shifted so I was facing him.

"Are you sure your not mad at me? The look on your face in the forest . . . and you haven't said two words since we got back. . . when you looked at the mirror in Alice's room . . . I just-"

I put my finger to his lips, and held his marble face in my hands. "Edward, look at me." His warm, ocher eyes locked with mine. "I am fine. What happened in the forest . . . I was so shocked and confused. This is all new to me, and it took me off guard. I am not mad at you at all. I love you." I smiled as best as I could, as I was still shaken.

"Okay." He stopped, thinking. "Hmm . . . do you want to go downstairs?"

"Yeah, I do. Let's go." Edward lifted me out of the room, and down the stairs. The rest of my new family was there, waiting for me.

Carlisle was the first to speak. "Bella, are you all right?"

"Yeah, I'm over the shock. That just took me off guard." Which was true, mostly. I was still a little "out of it", but I was ready to accept my new life.

"Well then, welcome to our family." Carlisle walked over to me to give me a hug. This surprised me, but I returned the gesture. Carlisle had always been like a father to me.

"Oh, Bella!" Alice rushed over to give me a tight hug. "I'm so glad you're my sister!"

"Thanks Alice."

The rest of my family came over to welcome me too. Emmett bounded over and gave me a bear hug. Jasper put a hand on my shoulder, and made me feel welcome (literally). Esme hugged me gently and even Rosalie smiled and welcomed me, though I know she didn't like that I had chose this over being human.

"So. . . Bella?" Alice said slowly. I turned to look at her. Her eyes were bright with excitement and she was grinning. Uh-oh. Whatever she was planning can't be good.

"Um, Yes?" Edward laughed quietly at the look on my face.

"I think. . . We need to go shopping!" I laughed. Of course Alice would want to take me shopping, first thing.

"Alice . ." Edward warned her.

"No, it's okay." I put my hand up to stop him. "Alice, why don't you ask Rosalie to go with you, and you can buy me all the clothes you want, okay?" I said, just because I didn't want to have to go with her. And because I did need new clothes, the ones I had on were too big.

"Okay! Thanks Bella!" she turned around and said, "Rose, will you come, please?"

"Yeah, sure." she said and ran vampire-speed up the stairs to get her and Alice's shoes. The two of them left to go to the mall. I turned back to the Cullens and saw Emmett and Jasper arm-wrestling. I smiled.

"Hey Emmett, do you want to arm-wrestle me?" I asked, when he won. I thought back to when Edward asked me to arm-wrestle him and laughed.

He frowned. I was a lot stronger than him now, but he wanted to try. "Fine." he growled, and I ran over to the Cullen's dining room table.

Edward followed me to the table as I sat down across Emmett. "Ready. . . Set . .Go!" Edward said, smiling.

We arm-wrestled, and I won, easily. I laughed, and Emmett stomped up the stairs, muttering "Cheater. ." under his breath. Edward, Jasper, Carlisle and Esme all laughed. I smiled. I had a feeling I was going to like being in this family.

Did you like it? The chapter kind of doesn't have to do with much, but it will get more serious.
