Chapter 6 – Visiting Forks

We were getting ready to leave for our drive to Forks, we would be staying at the Cullen's house I thought it would be better to stay at a hotel but Edward assured me that it would be all right and that it was his mum's idea to begin with. I had called Charlie earlier in the week to let him know that I would be visiting and bringing someone with me and that we would be having dinner at the Cullen's.

It was going to be about a 3 hour drive to Forks depending on how fast Edward was driving, we had decided earlier that we were going to stop in Port Angeles for lunch.

"Ready to go?" Edward asked as I came down.

"Yep I'm ready. Are you ready?" I asked as I placed my bag down and he nodded.

"We don't have to do this if you know."

"Bella?" Edward said sounding hurt.

"No wait, I'm not saying that I don't want to go, because I do I just wanted to make sure that you were 100% ready to do this, because my dad can be scary and I really just don't want him to scare you away."

"Baby no one can ever scare me away from you, ever okay?" Edward said and I nodded smiling at him. "Ok let's get on the road then."

We talked the whole trip to Forks stopping at a diner in Port Angeles before continuing to Forks. The closer we got to the Cullen's house the more nervous I got about meeting his parents.

"They'll love you," said Edward bringing me back into the world.

"How can you be so sure?" I asked

"Because I love you and it's impossible not to love you," he said as he picked up my hand and bringing it to his mouth softly kissing it.

We pulled up to the Cullen house or mansion depending on what you consider a house and what you consider a mansion but it was beautiful. We walked up the path to the house and before Edward could even reach the front door, it opened and there stood a beautiful lady with auburn hair that was just the same as Edwards.

"Edward," the women said as she pulled Edward in for a hug.

"Hi mum." Edward said into the hug, once she released him she looked over at me.

"You must be Bella." I nodded.

"Yes, it's nice to meet you Mrs. Cullen."

"No need to call me that Esme will do, Mrs. Cullen was my mother in law." She said just before pulling me into a hug surprising me.

"Oh it's so nice to meet you, I feel like I already know you from everything I've heard about you from not only Edward, but from your father too." Esme said with a smile, "Edward go get your bags, then meet us in the kitchen." she said before taking my hand and leading me to the kitchen.

"Would you like something to drink?"

"Water please." I answered and Esme nodded before getting me a glass of water. "Thank you," I said as she placed it in front of me. "And thank you for having us."

"It's not a problem Bella. I've been looking forward to this since both Edward and Alice mentioned it. I think Alice was the one who was the most excited about it."

"She's not torturing you is she?" Edward asked as he walked into the kitchen.

"Haha." Esme said as she started gathering different ingredients from her pantry.

"Do you need any help?"

"No thank you dear, why don't you let Edward take you on a tour of the house and the garden before you need to get ready for dinner. Now off you go." Esme said with a smile.

"Are you sure?" I asked again making sure there wasn't anything I could do for her.

"I'm sure sweetie," she said before going back to chopping up the vegetables.

I had spent the last fifteen minutes debating what to wear, I had brought with me plenty of options that Edward claimed that Alice would be proud of me. I had a dress, jeans and a top; nice pants with a top even a skirt with a top to go with it. After much debating and help from Edward I went with my white strapless dress and black pumps.

After my shower, one that Edward tried to join as he kept saying that we would be saving water, kill two birds with one stone personally I think he was trying to get lucky but that would not be happening this weekend not while were at the Cullen's.

Charlie called just a finished getting ready to let me know that they would be over as soon as Leah was home from Jacobs. I toyed with putting my ring on or not, it felt weird not wearing it today but we had both figured that it would be better for me not to wear it until after we had told everyone just as not to tip anyone off.

Edward put it into the ring case and slid it into his pockets until he could put it on my finger again. We headed down stairs and before I was even on the last step I was attacked in a hug. I pulled away and smiled.

"Alice nice to see you too."

"Oh Bella you look so beautiful. Good job on the dress and tonight's, going to be so fun and oh come, come you have to meet Jasper still." Alice said before pulling me away from Edward towards the kitchen where we found Esme and Dr Cullen along with Jasper.

"Bella this is Jasper and my father Carlisle. Gentlemen this is Bella."

"It's nice to meet you both."

"Well it's nice to finally meet the person my wife won't stop talking about." Jasper said shaking my hand.

"Bella welcome to the family' Carlisle said I started panicking inside freaking out that he might know already about the marriage, he must have seen my face because he quickly said, "No no, nothing like that it's just anyone that can put up with Edward and his long hours is a saint," making me laugh.

A few moments later I felt a pair of hands snake around my waist pulling me close to them before kissing my bare shoulder. We stood around chatting before we heard a set of footsteps coming towards us I looked over and saw this huge guy followed by a really pretty blonde who I assumed to be Rosalie and Emmett.

Before anyone could even say anything I was picked up and twirled around.

"Emmett leave the poor girl alone." Esme stated as Emmett finally put me down.

"Hi Emmett, Rosalie." I said with a small smile, Rosalie just looked at me no smile but no glare so I she didn't know what to think of me just yet.

She nodded before she started talking to Jasper, "Rose don't be rude," Emmett said before turning back to me, "Sorry about her, just ignore the ice princess she doesn't like when new people join us because she's no longer the centre of attention." He said with a cheeky smile. Rosalie just glared at him before she went back to her conversation with Jasper.

The doorbell rang and Esme excused herself to answer it.

"Last chance," I said to Edward.

"Not going anywhere babe." He said before taking a sip of his beer that I didn't even know until now that he was drinking.

"Bella!" I head Seth yell out as he came closer followed by Sue telling him off for yelling.

"Hey Seth." I said going over to give him a hug, before turning to Charlie.

"Hi dad."

"Bells," he said before pulling me in for a hug, Charlie wasn't a very affectionate man but when he did show some I treasured it.

"Dad, Sue, Leah Seth this is Edward and his family. Edward this is my Dad."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Chief Swan, Mrs Swan?"

"Call me Sue, Edward and call him Charlie no need for Chief or sir." Sue said while Charlie just grumbled under his breath.

We moved to the dining room since dinner was now served, Esme had made Lasagne, garlic bread and two different type of salad to go with it and it just smelt divine and oh so heavenly that I could see Emmett drooling as it was placed on the table.

Everyone made small talk for a few moments before Edward cleared his throat getting everyone's attention.

"Bella and I wanted everyone here tonight because we have something to tell you all."

"You're not pregnant are you Bells? Because if you are we can fix this you don't have to get married." Charlie said.

"She doesn't look very pregnant, but who knows, she could be trying to trick Edward." came from Rose, which earned her a glare from everyone else at the table.

"No I'm not pregnant daddy but um, well you see Edward and I got married." I said the last part so quietly that I'm not sure if anyone actually heard.

"EXCUSE ME?" Roared Charlie.

"Bella and I got married nearly 9 months ago." Edward said as he pulled my ring out of his pocket and placed it back on my finger where it belonged.

I looked up and saw that Sue had a grip on Charlie who looked like he was about to jump across the table and strangle Edward.

"Go Bella!" Seth yelled out before jumping out to hug both Edward and I.

"You got married?" Esme asked.

"Yes, I met Bella one morning at a coffee shop and as crazy as it sounds I asked her to marry me and she said yes so we flew to Vegas and got married."

"9 months ago?" Sue said and I nodded.

"You're just telling us now?" Sue asked.

"It's my fault, Edward wanted to tell you all more or less as soon as we were married but I wouldn't let him."

"What too ashamed?" Rosalie said glaring at me.

"Look I don't know what you have against me but I was never ashamed of being married to Edward. Was I scared to tell everyone? Yes because I wanted you all to like me and I didn't want to be accused of things that I'm sure your thinking in your head.

"Yes we should have told you all sooner and I will gladly take the blame for it. Also, I will gladly take you calling me names because Alice certainly did when she found out."

"Alice? Shorty was mean?" Emmett asked amused. Honestly I think he was the only one, Charlie still looked really mad, Sue I couldn't tell and the same with the Cullen's. They didn't look mad but they didn't look happy about it either.

"Hey, in my defence I didn't know Edward was seeing her so imagine my surprise when I turned up and she was there, so yeah I might have accused her of being a gold digger but I didn't really mean it." Alice said meekly.

"You called my daughter a gold digger?"

"I'm sorry Chief Swan I was just being protective of Edward and it came out."

Charlie shook his head, before standing up I grabbed Edwards hand not sure what he was going to do.

"Bella I'm sorry, but I can't be here I can't be around this madness call me when you come to your senses about this marriage."

He walked out heading towards the front door, Sue walked over to us, "Don't worry Bell's once he calms down he'll be happy for you just like I am. You make a cute couple call me tomorrow and we'll do lunch."

Seth and Leah also offered their congratulations before following Sue out the door.

"Well I say Congratulations is in order, so let's raise our glass to the happy married couple." Carlisle said surprising me and Edward too.

"You're okay with it?" I asked surprised.

"While it hurts that we are finding out about it now, were just happy that Edward managed to find himself someone that can keep up with him and make him happy and we look forward to getting to know you better." Esme said before coming over and hugging us.

"Welcome to the family."

"Yeah welcome to the family Bella. I pity you being stuck with Edward." Emmett said making us all laugh, well except Rosalie.

"Well now we can start planning that party," Alice said clapping her hands together. "Wait you guys have talked about it haven't you? Because honestly, I have everything planned I just needed your go ahead."

"I don't think we ever really came to an answer when we talked about it to be honest." Edward said.

"Well I think it could be fun but Alice, I get to have a say in everything it's my reception after all and Esme I'd love if you and Sue would help too. I know it doesn't make up for all of you not being at the wedding, but I thought maybe this could help make up for it a little?"

"I'd be honoured to help Bella."

"So tell us everything." Carlisle said and we spent the rest of the night telling the ups and down of the most 8 months, Rosalie looked like she was starting to warm up to me by the end of the night.

I was now sitting in front of my dad's house feeling a little nervous to go inside and talk to him. Five minutes later I was still sitting in the car.

'C'mon Bella you can do this, you're a big girl what could he possibly do?' I said to myself before finally getting out of the car.

I walked up to the door not sure if I should knock or not but before I could the door was open and there stood Sue.

"I was wondering if you were ever going to come in or if you were going to sit outside all day."

"Sorry mum, I'm just scared."

"Bella your 24 years old, there's not a lot he can do about it."

"I know but I just wanted him to be happy for me." I said looking down.

"He is happy for you B, he's just in shock that's all now get in there and talk to him."

I nodded before heading off to the lounge room, "Oh, also I was thinking we could do lunch with Alice and Esme and Leah too if she's not busy with Jacob."

"Sounds wonderful I'll call Esme about it now." She said leaving me on my own.

Slowly made my way and found Charlie sitting in his chair watching fishing on TV, guess it was too early for a baseball game.

"Hi daddy." I said as I took a seat on the couch, five minutes later he hadn't said anything.

"Please can we just talk? I know you're mad at me and I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, I should of but I was scared but I'm really happy daddy."

"He could have been an axe murder or a jewel thief or on the run for something else."

"Daddy you know the Cullen's you know he's none of those things."

"Yes, I knew that, but YOU didn't know that when you agreed to marry him after knowing him for a minute."

"It was longer than a minute."

"But not long enough."

We continued just sitting there, after another five minutes of saying nothing I stood up and started heading towards the door.

"Bells, I love you and I am happy for you but it might take some time." I nodded I could understand that, I walked back over to Charlie and gave him a hug.

"Thank you daddy." I said before kissing his cheek.

"You're telling your mother though; I'm not dealing with telling her."

"Okay deal." I said laughing, my mother was one for surprises but I loved her none the less.

We chatted more a few more minutes before I headed back to the Cullen's to get ready for lunch with the ladies.

Alice, Esme and I decided to meet Sue and Leah at the Diner. We thought about driving to Port Angeles but none of us really were in the mood to drive so the diner it is.

"So Alice, tell me more about what you're thinking for this reception?" I asked.

"Well I was thinking either having it in Forks or Seattle completely up to you of course and a cake and food and flowers on the tables, maybe a DJ spinning some tunes and then the whole first dance and father/daughter dance and toast as well. But we just won't have the maid of honour and best man speeches since you don't have any.

"Other details can be worked out later. Oh and also I come up with the idea of you and Edward wearing what you did wear for your wedding but if you don't want to then we can find you a really hot dress no problem"

"Okay well sounds good so far, I'll talk to Edward about where to have it and when he was off next so that we have a date. I'm guessing you might need a guest list too. I kind of do like the idea of wearing my dress, it was a really simple dress though."

"Simple is okay, I can work with simple." Alice said.

We spent the rest of the afternoon discussing plans for the reception and it was a really nice time. I enjoyed having Sue and Esme helping Alice and I plan it.

When we arrived back at the Cullen's, I headed up to our room to see Edward who just looked so peaceful lying on the bed sleeping. I slipped off my shoes and snuggled into him.

"Good day?" he asked and I nodded.

"Really good, I think my dad is coming around, he made me promise to be the one to tell my mum. Also had fun planning the reception but we'll talk about that later because right now I just want to cuddle in bed with you."

"Sounds like a plan to me beautiful."

"I'm so glad everyone knows now. I only wish I hadn't been so scared to tell them earlier than this."

"It's okay, all that matters now is that they do know and that they are happy for us." He said and I nodded.

"I love you beautiful."

"I love you too handsome."
