CHAPTER FIVE - AN UNEXPECTED VISIT
"Bells?" Charlie called from the kitchen.
"Hey Dad!" She called back while hanging up her jacket.
"Hello Chief Swan!" Edward called.
"Hi, Ed. Come in here Bells!" Her father's voice sounded funny. Bella looked to Edward to see if he could give her an explanation. Edward just winked.
Bella sighed and entered the kitchen. It couldn't be that bad if Edward didn't tell her.
The sight that greeted her caused her eyes to widen and for her to shriek, "MOM?"
Her mother and Phil were seated at the kitchen table next to Charlie.
"Hi Bells!" Her mother jumped up from her chair and nearly choked her in a hug.
"How are you, honey?" Her mother's eyes were bright and full of excitement; she looked like a little kid in a candy store.
"I'm fine, what are you doing here?" Bella was still in shock. Seeing her mother and her new husband in the kitchen was the last thing she expected.
"We wanted to surprise you!" She exclaimed. "Edward." Renee said, she had just noticed him behind her.
"Hello Renee."
"How are you Edward?"
"I'm fine, thank you. How are you?"
"I'm great, Edward. So what have you been up too?"
"We were just shopping with Edward and his brothers and sisters, Mom." Bella answered.
"You have siblings, Edward?" She asked. Bella had never mentioned Alice, Jasper and the rest of the Cullens, a fact she just realized now.
"Yes, adopted siblings." Edward said.
"Oh, I'd love to meet them!" Renee said. "I have an idea!"
Oh no.
"Why don't we all go out to dinner? Us and you and your family, Edward?"
Bella looked to Edward not expecting the answer that came from him, "That would be great." Bella's eyes widened hoping her mother hadn't noticed.
"Oh great! Were going to..." Renee filled in Edward on the time and the place. It was the same place where Bella first found out of Edward and his family's true nature.
Bella was having trouble imagining her family and Edward's at the same table. It was too weird.
Renee turned back to the table beckoning Edward and Bella to join them.
Edward snuck a wink at Bella, as they sat down, facing her mother and Phil.
This was going to be one weird night.
