Stephenie Meyer owns all thing Twilight.

EPOV:

Yesterday could not have been better. Well maybe if I had Bella in my arms all day it could have been. My parents were finally introduced to the woman I was made for and they absolutely loved her.

This was all I could think of as I lay in bed next to Bella. How much I wanted her to always be apart of my life. She was made to be a Masen. I looked down at her sleeping form. A small bit of moonlight shone through the blinds and reflected off of her porcelain skin. She was so beautiful.

I felt her beginning to stir in her sleep. I had held her often enough to now when we she was waking up or just tossing a bit. I knew this was the stage she went through before her sleep talking began. One of my favorite times of the night.

"Edward," she sighed softly. She usually began with my name; a great boost to my ego.

"No, we can't," she continued. "We don't have protection." I had to stop myself from coughing. Was she dreaming about what I think she was?

She whimpered softly as her faced showed slight signs of disgust. Okay, now I was confused.

"Leave the poor animal alone," she pleaded in her sleep. I finally let out the laugh that I had been holding in this whole time. I would love to know what was going on inside that head of hers. I tried to keep quiet but it was just too hard. I shook her small body, as she lay on top of me, with my laughter.

"Mmm,"she moaned as she sleepily opened her eyes. "What's going on?"

"Nothing," I whispered in her ear, making her squirm as it tickled her.

"Well then why are you laughing?" she asked still half asleep.

"I'll tell you in the morning, okay?" I offered as I felt her breathing begin to even out.

"Kay," she mumbled back.

I couldn't help but laugh once more as I felt myself begin to fall asleep.

I awoke the next morning to the feather light touches of Bella's fingers tracing up and down my arm as sunshine streamed through the window. I opened one eye and was granted the sight of a smiling Bella snuggled up next to me.

"Morning, dear," she giggled as she employed one of her rarely used "pet-names" for me.

"Good morning, sweetheart," I playfully responded. "What has you in such a good mood this morning?"

"Can't I just enjoy spending the night in your arms?" she asked with a smile. "And you promised to take me around town today." That's right, I had promised Bella to take her to see some of my favorite spots around town growing up.

"Well then we'd better get ready," I suggested but neither of us made a move to get up.

"Alright," Bella sighed after fifteen more minutes of lying in bed. "I'm really getting up this time." But she never had the opportunity to follow through with her word because Alice burst through the door just as she finished speaking.

"Time to wake up sleepy-heads!" she chirped loudly making Bella cringe into my side.

"Morning, Alice," I said dryly.

"We were just getting up," Bella said as she began to move away from me. A small pout found its way onto my lips as her tiny warm body left my side. She looked back at me and smiled slightly when she saw my pout.

"Let's just hurry up and get ready so we can spend the day together," she said as she quickly kissed my pout away and headed for the shower. I sighed as I gathered my own things and headed for the extra bathroom in the hall to get ready.

I finished quickly, throwing on a gray sweater and jeans and lounged back on my bed, waiting for Bella to emerge from the bathroom in my bedroom. I propped myself up on my elbows when I heard her exit the bathroom.

She wore a well-fitted blue long-sleeve shirt with a pair of blue jeans tucked into tan boots. A thin white scarf was wrapped around her neck while her hair cascaded in soft natural waves around her face.

"Wow," I breathed as I took in her appearance. She blushed immediately and got busy with the task of putting her clothes away.

Without even realizing it I was behind Bella, wrapping my arms around her waist.

"You are too adorable. Do you know that?" I asked as I pushed her hair away from her neck and began kissing it lightly. Her head lulled back as she wrapped her arms around mine and moaned her response.

"Let's go!" I heard Alice yell from downstairs, interrupting our moment.

"She has the best timing," Bella said sarcastically as she began pulling me downstairs.

"Finally," Emmett said as we reached the kitchen where the rest of the family was eating breakfast. "I thought we'd have to send up a search party for you guys." I didn't even have to look to know that Bella was blushing. I placed a kiss on her cheek as I ushered her to a chair and got us breakfast.

"Let's go already," Alice called impatiently just as Bella finished her breakfast. The rest of the gang was going with us and Emmett and Jasper would show Rosalie and Alice around.

"Jasper, control your fiancée," Bella called jokingly as she cleared her plate.

"It would be my pleasure," Jasper said just before he kissed Alice, effectively keeping her quiet. She only smiled and hugged herself to Jasper's side after he pulled away.

"Aww, how cute," I heard my mother say as her and dad descended the stairs. Alice giggled quietly as she said a quick hello and goodbye to my parents and pulled Jasper out of the door to the car.

"I guess it's time to go," Bella said as she put her coat on. "We'll see you guys later today," she called to my parents as we left the house.

We all climbed into my father's car, with me driving, and set off for town.

Not ten minutes later, I heard Emmett's loud voice. "Stop here!" I looked around and smiled when I saw why Emmett wanted us to stop. We quickly got out of the car and made our way to the playground.

There was a small playground with red equipment covering it. Jasper and Alice went to sit in the tire swing while Emmett and Rose sat in the multicolored spinner and Bella and I sat on the swings.

"Oh man," Emmett said as he remembered things that happened here.

"Man, do you remember that time," I began. "You wanted Melissa Clark to hold the frog you had caught so you chased her all around the playground until you cornered her in the little playhouse."

"Ha!" Emmett laughed loudly. "Do I remember? My eye still hurts from how bad she clocked me in the face." We all laughed as we recounted stories, mainly Emmett's most embarrassing, from our childhood.

Before it got too cold we all piled back into the car and headed into town. We each had spots that we wanted to show the girls so we decided to split up and meet back later for lunch.

I twined Bella's fingers with mine and led her down the street. Shops and boutiques littered the sidewalks of the cobblestone street. It was all very quaint.

"So where are you taking me?" Bella asked as we walked along.

"One of my favorite places," I answered as we reached our destination. I pushed back the door and smiled as I heard the familiar ding of the bell above it.

"Wow," Bella breathed, barely audible next to me. I had taken her to my favorite bookstore ever. It was small, in stark contrast to Borders or Barnes and Noble, but it had a serious book selection. The walls were lined with books varying from classics to brand new stories. You always felt that you were home looking through your own collection because of the warm, close atmosphere. In the corner was a small area that sold organic foods and coffee.

"It's amazing, isn't it?" I asked and Bella nodded in response. She walked forward a bit and trailed her hands across the spines of the books.

"It's so…cute here," she said and I smiled at her choice of words. I guess it was "cute".

"I found this place my sophomore year of high school and came almost every Saturday morning until I moved out of my parents house," I explained.

"Edward. Edward, is that you?" I heard a familiar voice ask. I turned and was greeted with Martha Lacey, the owner of the shop.

"Yeah it is, Martha. How are you?" I asked as I enveloped the small woman in a hug. She was an older woman with kind brown eyes but you couldn't let those fool you because she would put you in your place.

"I've been good, boy." She answered with a smile before she abruptly slapped my arm.

"Ow, what was that for?" I asked, feigning hurt.

"For not coming around. I haven't seen you in months," she replied.

"I'm sorry, Martha. I've just been really busy," I explained while turning to look at Bella who blushed.

"Well who is this beautiful lady?" Martha asked.

"This is my girlfriend, Bella. Bella this is Martha, the owner of this store," I introduced them.

"Oh, it's very nice to meet you Bella," Martha said as she gathered a surprised looking Bella into a hug.

"It's nice to meet you too," Bella responded. "This bookstore is lovely."

"Well Edward here can show you around. He knows this place like the back of his hand," Martha said.

"I would love to," I said as I pulled Bella to my favorite book section.

"Edward, this place is amazing!" Bella finally said after looking through a few books. "I would never be able to decide what book to get when I came here."

"Well then it's a good thing you don't have to today," I said as I slipped the books out of her hands and onto the front counter.

"Edward!" Bella protested. "That's five books and way too much money. I can't let you pay for them."

"Don't worry about it, love," I said before placing a kiss on her cheek.

"But, Edward," she began to whine. I rolled my eyes as I placed my hand over her mouth keeping her quiet.

"Isabella, buying you a few books will not break the bank for me. Just let me spoil you a bit, alright?" I requested. She nodded her head as I removed my hand. She wrapped her arms around my neck and whispered a 'thank you' before fusing her lips to mine.

About an hour later, much of that time spent with Martha talking with us, we were out of the bookstore.

Even though it was the afternoon it was incredibly chilly and Bella tucked herself into my side as we walked down the street.

"You know," she began. "I've lived in New York my entire life. I should really be used to the cold by now." I laughed as we entered the Panera that we would meet everyone else for lunch in.

"What took you so long?" I heard Emmett ask almost as soon as we walked in.

"We got side tracked," Bella explained as we took our seat next to the rest of our friends after getting our food.

"Let me guess. Edward took you to the bookstore," Emmett assumed.

"Mhmm," Bella nodded.

"And let me guess, Em. You took Rose to the baseball field," I guessed.

"Yep," a very disheveled looking Rose responded. God only knows what they were doing.

"Where did you go Alice?" Bella asked one of her best friends.

"Jasper took me to his favorite museum. It was adorable," she beamed. He just laughed as he kissed her cheek.

"Only you would call a Civil War museum adorable," he teased.

"Well it was. Look at these little soldiers we found," Alice said as she pulled small figurines out of a plastic bag.

"Of course Ali found the gift shop," Rose joked.

We laughed and joked the rest of the afternoon in the warmth of the restaurant, none of us wanting to go out into the cold.

"I guess we have to go to the car sometime," Rose conceded.

"Let's go," Jasper agreed.

We all snuggled against our respective partners and headed out into the autumn weather. We walked quickly back to the car and headed home.

We were greeted by the smell of pot roast cooking in the kitchen.

"Welcome home kids," my mother greeted us from her spot lounging on the couch as she flipped through a magazine.

"Mmm. What smells so good?" Alice asked.

"Carlisle's cooking," my mother responded.

"How did you get him to do that?" Rose asked disbelieving.

"Years of training, dear," my mother responded playfully.

"I may have to get some of your secrets," Bella joked as she winked at me.

"Oh yes!" Alice agreed. "I think some words of wisdom from the great Esme would be very helpful."

"Well come over here and join me then girls. I've got years of experience when it come to these boys," she replied.

I groaned as Bella kissed my cheek and sat next to my mother who began telling the girls how to 'train' us guys.

I know this update took forever but in my defense I've been really busy. The next one shouldn't be that long! I know I hate to wait for stories that I read, so sorry!

I liked this chapter. It was just cute and fun. I hope you liked it too!

Twilight comes out this month! I already ordered my ticket for the midnight premier!
