A/N: Hey Guys! Sorry that I haven't updated in like FOREVER, but I've been really busy lately. But I'm planning to be updating a lot more now that I have the time! (Thank goodness!) So, I hope that you guys enjoy the chapter.

And to remind you what's going on:

Charlie got a new job in California and they were moving there a week after Edward purposed to Bella. Mike Newton turned out to be the new student in Bella's school. Edward had told him that he would pay for Mike's college tuition or for his wedding between him and Jessica if he could get Bella back from California. That day when Charlie came home, he was furious because the Police Station that he got his new job at, hired the old Chief so he was demoted to being the old "new" chief's SECRETARY. So, he asked for a transfer back to Forks and that's just what he got. So he and Bella started packing the house up.

Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN TWILIGHT!! QUIT ASKING!!! STOP OF IT! I BEG YOU!! IT BELONGS TO STEPHENIE MEYER!!!

It didn't take that long to get the house packed up. Neither of us had really unpacked anything, because our hope that we would return home.

I finished cleaning up the house while Charlie called the movers and the airport. Thankfully, we had not sold our house, yet.

But before I did anything, I opened the box that contained my yearbook from the year before. I flipped through the pages, searching only for one.

Mike Newton. Next to his picture he had written his cell phone number.

I quickly grabbed the phone that was in my room and started dialing.

"Hello?" came the voice on the other end.

"Hi Mike! It's Bella." I said, slightly cheery because I was able to return home.

"Hey Bella! What can I do for you?" He asked.

"Um… when you get back to Forks, can you not tell anybody how I'm coming back? I want it to be a surprise." I said.

"Sure Bella no problem! Hey, I have to go because this flight attendant is getting mad at me but your secret is safe with me. Bye Bella." He said, I quickly said bye and hung up the phone.

I put the yearbook away and ran downstairs, to see if there was anything that Charlie needed for me to do.

His answer was quick… and I liked it. "Go get in the car." I did as I was told and I waited for Charlie to come back.

He finally came and he sat down in the driver's seat.

"Ready to leave this place Bella?" he asked.

"I've been ready ever since we moved here." I answered truthfully.

"To tell you the truth, so am I." He said.

The rest of the trip to the airport was silent. But once when we were on the plane we started talking.

We got caught up on a lot of things like what I liked to do, other than hang out with the Cullens. To which I answered, "I don't know! That's basically all I've done. But I like cooking and reading… A LOT!"

He also asked what I did at the Cullens. This one I had to lie for, slightly. Normally when I was spending the night with Alice, I was spending the night with Edward. "Oh, um, I usually hang out with Alice, sometimes she and Rosalie will take me shopping, or we'll watch a movie or listen to music. What normal teenagers do Dad." I answered.

I eventually fell asleep but when I woke up, Charlie and the flight attendant were sitting next to each other deep in conversation. Did I mention that we were the only ones onboard the plane?

Once Charlie realized that I was awake, he introduced me to the flight attendant.

"Bella, this is Sarah. Sarah, this is my daughter Bella." He said. When he said, 'My Daughter,' she slightly frowned.

Charlie didn't miss it. "Bella's mother and I got divorced a few months after Bella was born." She seemed quite content after that.

Turns out, that this was her last flight being an airline attendant because she got a job being a schoolteacher in a little town called Forks.

"The thing is," she started. "That I don't have anywhere to stay. There was this house that I fell in love with on 5th Ave. But after I bid on it, I found out that the owners were returning, so I couldn't get It." She explained.

"Did you say 5th avenue?" Charlie asked.

"Yes, that's it." She answered.

"That's where we live! You wanted our house!" he said in amazement.

"Oh Wow! It is a small world after all isn't it?" she exclaimed.

"Well…" Charlie hesitated. "Maybe you could stay with us until you were able to find your own place." He looked at me for approval, and I nodded.

"Oh, I would love that!" She said. The two of them started making out plans as I spaced off.

As usual, the first thing my mind went to was Edward. I couldn't wait to see him again, I wonder if Mike could pull it off and Edward would be surprised. As I thought even more about, I remembered something. Edward purposed to me, I was going to marry Edward! Me, Bella, I was going to marry Edward! I started grinning like a fool, but then I realized that I still had to tell Charlie. Well… it's now or never.

"Hey Dad?" I asked, interrupting them.

"Yah Bells?" he answered.

"Can I talk to you for a moment… alone?" I asked, as I casually glanced at Sarah. She nodded and got up and walked towards the front of the plane.

"What's it that you need to talk to me about?" he asked. I took in a big breath of air.

"Um, do you remember when Edward and I went out on a date about a week before we moved?" I asked, hoping that he would remember.

"Yah…"

"Well, that night, Edward purposed to me." I said. I said it slowly and clearly so I wouldn't have to repeat it.

"He… he purposed… to you?" he asked.

Unable to find my voice, I nodded.

"Edward wants you to marry him…" he said; again I nodded.

"Bella… you're barely 18, I can't have you leave me yet…" he said. "I just got you and now you want to leave."

I felt so guilty. Surely if Edward and I were going to have an eternity together, we could wait a few years to get married.

"Daddy don't worry." I said. "We weren't planning on getting married any time soon! We were thinking maybe a year after graduation."

He seemed to relax noticeably.

"Good. Why didn't you tell me sooner?" he asked.

"Well… once I found out that we were moving, I thought we were going to be staying here for a long time, so we just called it off." I explained.

"Oh Bella, I'm so sorry." he said. I smiled at him and gave him a hug.

Seeing this, Sarah came back and we all conversed until the flight ended. I found out that Sarah was 39, just three years younger than Charlie. And she also was going to be the new Trig teacher at the high school.

Once the plane had landed, we walked all around the SEA-TAC airport looking for our baggage claim. Sarah fortunately knew exactly how to get there.

It was easy to spot our luggage because it was the only one on the claim, well ours along with Sarah's.

We all gathered our stuff up and walked to get our next plane to Port Angeles. Once that was done, Charlie flagged down a taxi to take us back home to Forks.

When we were driving through Port Angeles, I was looking out of the rolled down window. I immediately spotted Alice's favorite boutique, and outside of it, I saw a shiny silver Volvo. Not just any shiny silver Volvo, Edward's shiny silver Volvo. I kept on looking and I could see Edward, Alice and Rosalie. Edward was holding all of their bags, and wasn't looking too happy about it.

I could feel the blood racing to my face as I started blushing. Unfortunately, none of them looked this way.

I kept on staring at him even as we were past him. I mean, how could I take my eyes off of him. He was gorgeous, and he's mine, or at least, he was mine. I hope he still is!

It was about 50 minutes later when we were entering Forks. I looked around in excitement, happy to be home.

It only took about 5 minutes to get to our house after we entered Forks. When we got there, I found that my car was still in the driveway, right were I left it. Right beside it was Charlie's Cruiser. I jumped out of the car and ran to my truck. When I finally got to it (without tripping thankfully) I gave it a big hug.

"My truck! My beautiful truck!" I said, Charlie and Sarah walked past me, each of them had their bags and Charlie had mine too.

"Bells? Are you feeling ok?" he asked.

"I'm HAPPY! I'M REALLY, REALLY HAPPY! I'M HOME! I'M BACK TO MY BEAUTIFUL HOME WITH MY BEAUTIFUL TRUCK AND WITH THE BEAUTIFUL GREEN STUFF THAT COVERS ALL THE TREES!" I yelled, so thankful to be home.

"Alllright…" he said. He started walking back towards the house. I ran past him, still not tripping, and opened the door even before he could think about it.

I opened the door and started singing. "Ahh! What a beautiful house I live in. with my daddy, and saaarah… and my room, and my daddy's room and uh dad? Where is Sarah going to sleep?" I asked.

"Uh... I hadn't thought of that." He answered.

"Hmm…" I said, a plan formulating within my cranium. "How about…" I started but Charlie cut me off.

"No." he said.

"But we're" I held up my hand while he cut me off again.

"I don't care. You're probably going to" he started

"Be with" I continued

"Edward!" he finished. I gasped in shock.

"Nooo." I whispered. "With Alice."

"Right. But the answer is still no."

"Um... Dad, doesn't the couch have a pull out bed?" I asked.

"Oh yah! It does! We just haven't used it before. Perfect." He said. "You can sleep there… if you don't mind."

"Oh no, it's perfectly fine." Sarah said. I just now realized that I like Sarah, and so does my father.

"Or, I could let you sleep in my room so you have privacy and I could sleep out here."

"No, no, it's fine. I'll be perfectly comfortable sleeping out here." She said.

"Well, I get up early in the morning and I wouldn't want to wake you." He said with uncertainty.

"Charlie," she said, putting a hand on his shoulder. "I'll be perfectly fine sleeping out here. You don't need to give up your room for me."

"No, I insist, you can sleep upstairs, and I'll sleep down here." He said.

"Only if it would make you happy." She said.

"Yes, it would make me very happy." He said with confidence.

"Alright then. Bella, will you please show Sarah to her room?" he asked.

"It would be my pleasure." I answered. Gosh! My family is screwed up. But I love it; I have the best-darned family in the universe.

I walked her up the stairs and I walked her all the way into his bedroom.

"Well, here you are." I said. She smiled at me, but then her face became serious.

"Bella, thank you so much for letting me stay here. I really appreciate it, especially since we met only today." She said.

I smiled encouragingly to her. "Not a problem. I'm perfectly fine with it. Besides, Charlie likes you, what else do you have to worry about?" I assured.

"Really? He does?" she said, she seemed to be shocked.

"Yah, he does, and I think you like him too." I answered. She noticeably blushed, and I smiled.

"Don't worry, things will work out fine." I said. "Now if you'll excuse me."

She nodded and I turned back down stairs to talk to Charlie.

"Hey dad?" I called.

"Yep?" his voice came back. I could see him now; he was setting up the bed.

"Can I go over to the Cullens for a while? I really want to see all them." I asked.

"And Edward?" he said, with his eyebrows raised.

"Yes, and Edward." I answered. "But I want to see the rest of them, they've become like my second family."

"Well, sure. Call me when you get there and we'll come up with a plan." He said. I thought for a moment, thinking this over.

"Um actually, Dad, could you give me a ride?" I asked.

He seemed surprised by this, but he agreed. "Yah, sure. Um, let me tell Sarah." I nodded, knowing that they were going to end up together one day, and I walked over to the kitchen table to grab my jacket.

He came back down a moment later, and led me out the front door. The trip to the Cullens was silent; we were just discussing what our plans were for the night. Since it was 8:30 now, I was to call at 10 o'clock, to discuss plans even more. He didn't want me home any later than midnight though.

He dropped me off at the front of their driveway and I got out of the car, jacket on, and hood up.

I walked as quietly as I could up their driveway and through their yard. I could see their silhouettes through the window, all standing next to the grand piano where I could hear beautiful music coming from.

I got closer to the porch, almost to the steps.

One step,

Two steps,

Three steps.

I tried to walk even quieter, but it was hard for me. I was hoping that they couldn't hear me with the sound of the music being played.

I walked up to the door and I rang the doorbell. I heard the music stop and I heard somebody walking to the door.

The seconds went by and nobody opened the door.

Right as I put my arm up to knock, the door opened.

A/N: END OF CHAPTER!!! JUST KIDDING! I THINK YOU GUYS WOULD HURT ME IF I STOPPED THERE!! SORRY! I'LL KEEP IT GOING.

I thought that the sight that I see before me I'd never see again, but here I was. Seeing it.

"Edward…" I breathed.

"Bella… no it can't be you. I must be imagining things." He said. I smiled sadly. "No Edward, it's really me, I'm really back."

"Bella?" he questioned.

"Yah…" I answered. He gave me the saddest smile I've ever seen and then he enveloped me in a huge hug, kissing my neck.

"Ooh Bella, I've missed you so much. You don't have any clue how much I've missed you." He said.

I buried my face into his chest. Finally, after months of being away, I finally felt at home again.

"I think I have some clue." I answered.

"Edward! Bring Bella inside! You don't want her to catch a cold now do you?" Exclaimed Esme. Gosh I love Esme. I love all of the Cullens.

"Oh, right. Sorry love." He said. He looked down at me and smiled. I just looked back up and gave him a confused stare.

"What?" he asked worried.

"I just totally forgot how tall you were." I answered truthfully, slightly blushing.

With that he let out a big hearty laugh. He led me in the door and that was when I realized that not only the Cullens were there, but some other vampires that I did not know.

Fortunately, they had the same eye color so I was able to detect that they drank from animal blood.

"Oh, Bella! It's so good to have you back!" Esme cried and gave me a hug. I was then being swarmed by the Cullens all giving me hugs at the same time… even Rosalie.

"Bella! I can't wait to take you shopping!" Alice cried.

"Alice, I just got here and you already want to take me shopping?" I asked in bewilderment.

"Of course silly!" came her reply

Then came Carlisle's serious face. I noticeably straightened up.

"Bella, does Charlie know that you're in Washington?" he asked. Everybody quieted down with the same look on their faces.

"Yeeah, he was the one who dropped me off here." I said, still not telling them that we moved back.

"Why are you guys even up here?" Rosalie said, speaking for the first time.

"We um… we kinda moved back up here." I said. Edwards face lit up and he wrapped his arms around me.

"You're back? You're really back for good?" he asked.

I smiled, brighter than I have in months, and nodded yes.

"Uh hem" came the voice of one of the vampires that I didn't know.

"Oh Bella! This is the Denali clan!" Emmett said. "Carmen, and her husband Eleazar, and these are Kate, Irina and Tanya." He explained.

"It's nice to meet you." I said and smiled.

"Yah, well listen here Babe…" said the one that Emmett pointed out as Kate. "Edward is ours, he's always been ours, and he always will."

My eyes widened. "Oh, um ok."

I could hear Edward growl as he led me up the stairs into his room.

Once we got in there, the first thing he did was put on Clair de Lune. While he did that, I went and sat on his couch, his black leather comfortable couch that I missed.

He turned around and faced me again. "Bella, you don't know how glad I am that you're back." Edward picked me up and spun me around, eventually placing me back on the couch. Well, he was on the couch I was on him.

"I've really missed you Edward." I said.

"I know. I've missed you to the moon and back." He said.

"Well I've missed you to the sun and back." I answered.

He smiled. "Well I've missed you to Pluto and back."

"Poor Pluto…" I said.

He frowned. "Why is Pluto poor?" he asked.

"It got demoted. I guess Pluto isn't good enough for all of those smart people…"

"You're right. Poor Pluto." His facial expression mirrored mine.

"OH BELLA! I'm SO stupid!" he yelled.

"What? Why?" I answered.

"You've been here for a total of" he checked his watch. "7 ½ minutes, and I still haven't done something." He said.

I looked at him confusedly. "And what's that?' I said.

"This." He answered as he placed his lips on mine.

We eventually parted and I smiled. "Yes, you're a bad boy. You should have done that sooner." I said. He smiled back and leaned in again.

"EDWARD ANTHONY MASON CULLEN!!! WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!?!?!" I heard an angry voice yell.

I looked over to his now open door to see Kate, Tanya and Irina.

Edward got up and walked over to them.

"Get out of our room." He said; his voice left no argument.

"Not until you tell us what you were doing with… her." Said Irina.

"What I do with her is none of your business, now end this and get out of our room." He said.

Wait… did he just say OUR room?

"Oh Edward, if you think we're going just to end this like that," she snapped her fingers "Then you must be mistaken." She informed him.

"GET OUT!" he yelled. They turned around and left the room and Edward slammed the door shut.

He came walking back over to me. "Sorry Love. I promise I won't let them do this to you. Bella. Bella? Bella!"

"Did you say OUR room?" I asked, being blunt.

He smiled. "Well, yah. I mean, what else would it be? I mean we are getting married. Unless you changed your mind." He added nervously.

YES!!!! EDWARD STILL WANTED TO MARRY ME!!! WOOHOO! My head was practically screaming.

"Yes, I want marry you." I said, smiling and biting my bottom lip.

"Good. I want to marry you too." He said. "Now we just have to tell Charlie."

"Oh, I already did. I told him on the plane today. I kind of told him we were going to get married in about a year after graduation." I said.

"YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE ME WAIT A YEAR!!!" He yelled. Why was he screaming?

"EDWARD! I'M SORRY! He just made me feel really bad."

"And how did he do that?" he asked.

"He said that I was barely 18, and he didn't want me to leave just yet. Not after he just got me." I explained.

"Alright. Alice said that your dad just called and he wants you home." He said.

"What time is it?" I asked.

He looked at his watch. "10:30."

"You're kidding me." I said. He nodded his head no. "I should probably get you home." He said. I nodded sadly.

We got up off the couch and I grabbed Edward's hand. "I've really missed you Edward." I said as I gave him a hug.

"I've missed you too Darling." He kissed my hair. Over, and over, and over and over. He eventually stopped and we headed downstairs.

"Bye you guys!" I said to everybody.

"Bye Bella! We love you!" came their reply. I smiled and Edward and I climbed outside.

I saw the Volvo and went running to it. Like my truck I gave it a hug. "It's my beautiful Volvo! Edward! Look at it! It's your beautiful Volvo!" I said excitedly.

He laughed, "Get in the car Bella and you can love the beautiful car even more." He said.

I did as I was told. He was getting it up and ready by the time I put on my seatbelt. Once I did, we were gone. He went zooming through the beautiful little town of Forks.

When we got to my house, Edward decided to walk me to my door.

"Well, I guess I'll see you later?" I said.

He chuckled. "How bout in a couple minutes." He said. And then added in a whisper, "do you still have enough room for me in your bed?"

"Yes I do. Always." I answered.

"Alright, until then." He said. I turned and opened the door and what I saw surprised me.

Edward came and stood next to me to see what I was staring at. And he too stopped and stared. Charlie and Sarah were making out on the couch.

"And remind me," Edward said. "Why we can't do that and we're engaged."
