EPOV:

I was, hands down, the luckiest man alive. Bella had agreed to share an apartment with me and I couldn't be happier. She was my everything now and I couldn't wait to start my life with her.

I only felt like there was one thing missing from this perfect picture. Bella had yet to meet my parents. It wasn't because I didn't want her to but I simply never found the time. They lived almost two hours outside of the city in a town called Tuxedo Park. I wanted to show Bella where I had grown up and decided that this was the perfect weekend for her to meet my parents.

"Are you sure your parents want to meet me?" Bella asked me over the phone as she packed for our upcoming trip. I was still at my office and she was at home packing. We would meet up at a train station in the middle of our two homes and travel to my parent's house together. Since we had all grown up in the same place, Emmett and Jasper were coming along as well with their respective partners.

"Of course, love," I replied truthfully. "They want to meet the girl I've been raving about."

"Oh goodness, Edward. What have you been telling them?" she asked sounding a bit panicked.

"Nothing but the truth, Bella."

"Edward," she replied sternly.

"Bella," I mocked.

"Edward, I know you. And I know that you built me up too much and I'll never meet your parent's expectations and they'll hate me.." she rambled on but I stopped her.

"Isabella," I began seriously. "There is no way that my parents could hate you. Not when you're just so loveable." She giggled.

"I think you're a little biased," she stated.

"Doesn't matter. It's the truth," I reasoned.

"I don't even have anything nice to wear," she continued on worrying.

"Did I hear you say that you needed my wardrobe advice?" I heard Alice's tinkling voice ask in the background.

"No you did not!" Bella replied quickly.

"Too late," Alice replied. "And you need it. What is this monstrosity? I thought I threw this out!"

"Alice, that is my favorite sweatshirt!" Bella defended.

"I don't care. You will not meet your future mother-in-law wearing this!" Alice continued. I laughed as I could almost hear Bella blush. Yes, it was true that I hadn't actually proposed to Bella yet but we knew that our wedding would be soon enough.

"Ugh!" Bella fumed. "So help me Mary Alice Brandon, if you do not put that down right now you will not live to see your wedding day."

"Oh, I'm shaking," Alice mocked. I decided to try and intervene before things got too physical.

"Bella, why don't you just let her have the sweatshirt? I'll buy you a new one." I offered.

"Did you just meet me yesterday?" she asked. "Since when does buying me something make me feel better?" She had me there.

"You're right, love. I'll just have to hold you all weekend to keep you warm," I stated. Not a second later came her response.

"You can have the stupid sweatshirt, Alice."

"Man these cars are small!" Emmett's voice boomed in the train car. We all laughed as we watched him turn sideways in order to get past the red and blue double paired seats. I took my seat next to Bella and got settled for the ride.

"Are you alright, love?" I asked her as I pulled my ipod out of my bag.

"Yes," she replied. "But I would be better if I had had time to get my morning-," but I cut her off by pulling a thermos out of my bag full of hot coffee. I knew how Bella liked a cup of coffee if she had an early morning. "I knew there was a reason I loved you," she teased.

"Yep, that's the only reason," I said sarcastically while putting my headphones in my ears. Bella rested her head against the back of her seat and closed her eyes.

Within half an hour Bella was fast asleep. I removed the thermos from her hand to avoid an accident that an unconscious Bella would surely cause. A little while later I noticed Bella's head moving a bit as were her lips.

"No. Don't you dare," she whispered. "Get away from me," she said a bit louder.

"Shh, Bella," I cooed as I removed my headphones. I hated whatever imaginary fiend was invading Bella's dreams. "It's alright, love."

"Get that frog away from me, Emmett!" she said loudly. Loud enough for half of the car to hear.

I couldn't help it then. I began laughing loudly and I was not the only one laughing. All of our friends were and so were other train passengers.

All of the commotion woke Bella up and she began to look around.

"What's going on?" she asked sleepily.

"Dreaming about me, huh Bella?" Emmett asked loudly from his seat making us laugh again.

"Oh no. What did I say?" she asked as she simultaneously paled and blushed.

"Nothing too bad," I replied, fighting a smile. "Just something to do with Emmett and frogs."

"Uhhh," she groaned as she hid her face behind her hands.

"It was quite adorable, Bella," I said in an attempt to rid her of some embarrassment.

"I'm glad you find my public humiliation amusing," she mumbled into her hands.

"Come here, love," I said as I pulled her into my lap. I removed her hands to reveal a very red Bella. "It really wasn't that bad. People were just laughing because it was so unexpected."

"Sure," she said, sounding unconvinced. I knew a pretty good way of distracting her.

I cupped her cheek in my palm as my thumb brushed against her crimson stained skin. If possible she blushed even further just before our lips collided.

Our lips molded in perfect unison as Bella pushed herself closer to me. The familiar feelings of desire stirred within me as our kiss deepened. Our tongues danced in a beautiful rhythm as our breaths became shorter and shorter.

I almost lost it as Bella slid her hands into my hair and lightly tugged at it. I moaned loudly and pulled away from her.

"This train is far to public to continue how I want with you," I explained breathlessly. She giggled as she rested her head against my chest, catching her breath.

"Next stop, Newburgh, NY. Newburgh, NY," the conductor called over the loudspeaker. That was our cue to gather our things and get ready to descend the train.

I allowed Bella to walk in front of me while exiting the train where in true Bella fashion she tripped over the small gap from the train to the platform and began falling. Instinctually I reached out and wrapped my arms around her waist before she reached the ground.

"Careful, love," I playfully chided, making her blush a bit.

We soon made it, without incident, to the station parking lot where we were greeted with a familiar voice.

"Edward, son!" my father, Carlisle shouted from his place beside his car. I felt Bella stiffen beside me and I placed the hand that wasn't holding a bag around her waist.

"He'll love you," I whispered before placing a kiss on her cheek. She cast me a nervous glance and blew out a breath before we arrived at my father's cream-colored Escalade.

"Edward," he said again as he gathered me up into a hug. "It's been way too long."

"Yeah, it has," I agreed.

"Emmett, Jasper! Glad you came!" he greeted them.

"Good to see you, Carlisle," Jasper responded. Carlisle had always been a father figure of sorts for them. Emmett and Jasper soon introduced Rosalie and Alice to him. Finally came the moment I had been waiting for. My father turned and was face to face with Bella, my world.

"And you must be Bella," he concluded.

BPOV:

I had never been so nervous in my life. I was about to meet Edward's parents and felt vastly under prepared. Maybe if I had five more years and the head position at some company could I meet them. Unfortunately, all I had was about thirty seconds.

We made our way over to a young looking man who was revealed as Edward's father. Everyone else's greetings were soon over and it was my turn to be introduced.

"And you must be Bella," Carlisle said turning to me.

"Yes. I am. Hello Mr. Masen," I replied formally, earning a laugh from him.

"Please, call me Carlisle. Mr. Masen is my father," he replied with a breathtaking smile that Edward had clearly inherited. I was surprised at how at ease he could make me feel.

"Okay, Carlisle," I responded, letting out a breath I wasn't aware I had been holding.

We quickly placed our bags in the back of Carlisle's large car and began heading to the Masen home.

Rose and Emmett shared the seat farthest back, Jasper, Alice and I sat in the middle seat while Edward took the passenger seat next to his father.

"So, Bella," Carlisle began. "Edward has done nothing but sing your praises since he's met you." I could feel myself pale. I knew he would build me up too much to his parents.

"Um," I responded. "I'm sure Edward went a bit overboard with his description of me. You know how he is." He turned toward me with a mock serious expression to which I stuck my tongue in his direction. Carlisle observed our interaction and just laughed.

"I'm sure he only spoke the truth," Carlisle stated, making me blush.

We spent the ride to Edward's childhood home in easy conversation. Carlisle would mostly ask us girls questions because we were the newest addition to this tight family.

Quite soon we had reached the Masen house. I felt my jaw drop as I looked at it. This house, although mansion would be a better word, was astonishing. It was a large two story white house with blue shutters. The yard extended a long while until it reached the beautiful autumn colored trees of the forest. The driveway seemed to be miles long and curved at the top allowing cars to continue back into the street.

"Wow," Alice breathed. "This is incredible!" I could see her almost shaking with excitement as she waited to explore the inside of the house.

"You grew up..here?" I asked Edward, incredulous. He simply laughed in return as he took my hand and led me up the porch steps to his house.

My mouth went dry as realization hit me. I had only met one parent, his father. Fathers tended to be easier to get on their good side. I still had to meet the mother.

I knew with a son as perfect ad Edward, his mother would never find me suitable.

My heart sped up as Edward reached his hand toward the door and rang the bell. He looked down at me with an amused smile on his lips.

"Breathe, Bella," he said just loud enough for me to hear. I took a gasp of much needed air before the door swung open and I was face to face with Esme Masen.

Hmm? I wonder if Esme will like her.. And before you get on me I know when Edward's last name is Masen his mother should be Elizabeth but I wanted to use Esme and Carlisle..so I did. Lol. And I'm really sorry it took so long to update this. School and work have been kicking my butt! The title of this chapter came from the song Train by Drops of Jupiter. Remember that song!? I still love it!

Sorry for the kind of short chapter but I want everything that happens next to be together.

Thank you for all the reviews so far! Keep them coming please!
