"Edward!" Esme squealed as she embraced her son in a tight hug. "It's so good to see you!" Esme was just a little taller than me with wavy brown locks and warm, loving eyes.

"You too, Mom," Edward responded a bit breathlessly from the hug.

"Don't kill the boy before he can introduce you to his new friends, dear," Carlisle called playfully from behind us.

"Oh! Where are my manners?" Esme wondered aloud. She turned to me and gathered me up in a tight hug. "You must be Bella! I've heard so much about you. It's so nice to finally meet you." I couldn't help the quiet laugh that escaped my lips at Esme's enthusiasm.

"It's nice to meet you too, Mrs. Masen."

"Oh, none of the Mrs. Masen stuff. You can call me Esme." She then turned abruptly and faced Rose and Alice. "And you must be Alice and Rosalie," she stated pointing to the correct girl.

"Rose," Rose corrected from her spot beside Emmett. Esme was like a mother to Emmett and Jasper so I knew that Rose and Alice were just as nervous to meet her as I was.

"Rose it is then" Esme affirmed. "Come in dears and put your things down."

We all entered the Masen house and there was an audible gasp from us girls. It was just as amazing on the inside as it was on the outside.

High vaulted ceilings made for a large open space as you walked in. To the far left was the dinning room, dressed in warm browns and caramels. As you walked further forward you entered the living room, decorated with large comfortable yet classy looking pieces of furniture. Scattered around the room were items that screamed custom made or hand crafted.

Carlisle must have seen me looking at the pieces because he came up next to me and said, "Those are all pretty much from Esme and my travels. We like to do a little sight seeing every now and then."

The tour soon resumed and we were taken to the second story of the house. The bedrooms were lined along this hallway. Esme cleared her throat.

"Um, I'm not quit sure of how your sleeping arrangements are but Carlisle and I just assumed that each couple would share a bedroom."

"That's fine, Mom," Edward said, blushing slightly. I could almost see why he thought it was so cute on me. It was evident that he was not comfortable talking about that aspect of his life with his parents.

"We'll give you kids some time to get settled," Carlisle said as he and Esme descended the stairs hand-in-hand. Each couple disappeared into their rooms.

I barely had time to shut the door before Edward gathered me up into his arms and flung me onto the bed. He hovered above me, careful not to place too much of his weight on me.

"It's been far too long since I did this..." he whispered before molding our lips together in a sensuous kiss. My arms traveled up his back to place themselves around his neck while my hands, seemingly on their own accord, wound into his hair. He moaned into my mouth, heightening my passion.

"Bella," he whispered in what must have been an effort to get me to stop but was lost to me. I slid my hands from his hair and moved them under his shirt. His muscles rippled and shuddered with the contact of my nails lightly scratching against him.

"Bella," he said more firmly this time. I opened my eyes and was greeted with his own, dark with desire. "I would love nothing more than to continue this with you but I don't think you'd want my parents finding us like this." I blushed at the mortifying idea.

"Come on, beautiful. I'm sure my parents want plenty of time to question you," Edward joked. Oh great. I swallowed loudly as Edward took my hand and lead me back downstairs.

"You have a beautiful home," I said truthfully to Esme as we came down the stairs.

"Thank you," she responded brightly. "I just love decorating and designing."

"So do I!" Alice chirped as she descended the stairs.

"Oh goodness, please don't get her started," Rose called sarcastically from behind Alice. "Alice buys absolutely everything she likes and has the slightest possibility of working in her home."

"Ha, I doubt she could top Esme's spending," Carlisle said quietly but was still heard. Esme shot him a death glare and he returned it with a beautiful smile, instantly making her smile as well.

That must be where Edward gets it from, I thought.

"Well why don't you take the ladies over to those little shops you like so much, dear," Carlisle suggested, making sure he was forgiven.

"Oh, that's a wonderful idea!" Esme agreed. "Would you girls like to come with me? This place could use a few new pieces."

"Of course," we all agreed.

We changed out of our travel clothes and were soon ready to go. I was approaching the door when I felt two strong arms wrap around my waist. I immediately melted into his embrace.

"Leaving without saying goodbye?" he asked teasingly.

"Oh, I would have yelled it as I walked out the door," I replied.

"Very funny," he said before spinning me around and dipping me dramatically before planting a kiss on my lips. My cheeks were on fire. "Be safe please," he said as he helped my stand straight.

"Aww," Esme, Alice and Rose cooed from where they stood. I could have sworn they weren't there two minutes ago.

"Show's over ladies. Move along now," I said as I ushered them out of the door. We all piled into the escalade as Esme drove us into town. I sat in the passenger seat while Rose and Alice sat in the second row.

"You and Edward are adorable," Esme commented as she drove. My cheeks stained red yet again.

"Thank you," I responded not knowing what else to say.

"You guys remind me of Carlisle and me when we were young. All if you couples do," she said, incorporating Rose and Alice into the conversation.

"Well you and Carlisle seem to be really happy," Rose stated. Esme giggled like a schoolgirl.

"I love that big, overworking oaf," she teased. I looked at Esme and made a wish in that moment. I wished that this would be Edward and me in the future. Just as in love as ever.

"We're here ladies," Esme called as she parked the car. We had pulled up to an outdoor shopping area. Little boutiques lined the streets with the occasional place to eat in between.

"This is adorable!" Alice squealed as we began walking around. Shopping was not my favorite activity but even I had to agree that this place had a certain charm about it.

Esme led us around like a pro. She knew where all the best shops were and seemed to know a lot of the shop owners. At one point we even asked her why she knew so many of them.

"Well, Carlisle wasn't kidding before when he said that I liked to shop a lot. I've just gotten to know these people over the years of shopping here," she answered.

"A woman after my own heart," Alice said while pretending to swoon, making us giggle. And that was how the afternoon was spent. We laughed and joked with each other and Esme told us stories about the guys. We had an abundance of blackmail stories in our arsenal now.

Plenty of boutiques and hundreds of dollars later, it was beginning to get dark.

"Hmm, I don't know about you guys but I don't think we can end our girls day without manicures," Esme proposed. There was no opposition from any of us.

We jumped back into Esme's now more full car and headed for the nearest manicure place. I wasn't really one for having my fingernails painted so I opted for the pedicure instead. Esme chose the same option as me while Rose and Alice had manicures.

"I really can't thank you enough for today, Esme," I said for probably the tenth time that day. She had done so much to help us feel at home.

"It's nothing dear," she responded as we slipped into our chairs. "You don't know how happy it makes me to see my boys happy, especially Edward. I've never seen him with so much love in his eyes," she explained cheerfully, earning a blush from me. "He's quite the lucky boy to have a girl as wonderful as you." I knew my face was redder than a tomato at this point.

"No," I corrected her. "I'm the lucky one."

"Whatever you say, Bella," she conceded, sensing this argument not winnable. "I just can't wait to see little Bella and Edwards running around." My face felt as though it could melt away from the amount of embarrassment I was a experiencing.

She thankfully let the subject drop and we spent the rest of our pedicure without me blushing too much.

We were soon finished and back at the house. I looked at the phone on my clock and realized that we had been gone nearly six hours. Six hours too long without Edward.

I dropped what few bags were mine at the door and went in search of my man. I found him out back with the rest of the guys tossing a football around. The back patio was lit well enough that you could see most of the backyard.

"Bella," Edward called when he saw me in the doorway. I giggled, ran toward him, and flung myself into his arms. He caught me effortlessly and wrapped his arms around my waist. I wrapped my legs around him and showed him just how much I missed him.

"Well hello to you too," he teased. I blushed at my current outburst and hid my face in his chest.

"I missed you," I defended my actions.

"I missed you too, love," he replied. I made a move to get down but he simply tightened his grip on me and began walking toward the patio. If he could carry me, I had no complaints.

He carried me over to the swing on the patio and sat us down with me on his lap. I shifted so I was sitting sideways and my head was resting against his chest. When I looked up I saw that Rose and Emmett and Alice and Jasper were each having their own reunion much the same to ours.

"Did you have fun with my mother?" Edward asked, almost sounding nervous.

"Oh, Esme was great!" I answered truthfully. He played with strands of my hair as I recounted the highlights of my day to him.

"I'm glad you had fun," he said with a large smile. "I told you my parents would love you." I blushed, yet again that day.

"Yeah, yeah. Did you boys have fun while we were gone?" I asked, changing the subject.

"Uh huh. We spent most of the time missing you guys," he admitted as he nuzzled my neck. I sighed in satisfaction as I rolled my head back, giving him better access to my neck.

"Break it up lovebirds," Emmett called from his place at the grill. "Eddie boy is needed at the grill." I felt him tense at one of his least favorite nicknames and placed a hand against his arm. He softened as he looked into my eyes.

"I guess I'll go help the girls with the rest of the meal," I stated as I placed a peck on his lips and made my way toward the kitchen. I looked over my shoulder one last time to find him smiling that crooked smile of his at me, making me stumble. He chuckled as I righted myself before leaving the backyard area.

The things that boy does to me…

Our dinner was delicious. The boys had made steak and us girls had made mashed potatoes and vegetables to go with it. At one point during the night I looked around at couldn't help but smile. We looked and felt like a real family.

Soon we were stuffed beyond belief and tired from all of our laughter. We bid each other goodnight and headed off to our bedrooms.

"Today was pretty perfect," I stated as Edward and I snuggled in bed.

"Mhmm," he agreed. "I don't think it could have gone any better."

"I love you," I told him as I felt sleep overtaking me.

"I love you too," I heard him reply as unconsciousness approached and sweet dreams overtook my night.

Aww! I just love Carlilse and Esme! I actually had a day a lot like this with my own mom. Everyone needs a girls day every once in a while!
