AN: Sorry that the update was kind of slow, but my mom's work times have changed so I don't really get the time to type Wednesday mornings. It's a miracle that my mom had to leave early today. Anyways, review and tell me what you think! Thank you!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the idea and maybe a few random people…

Chapter 12: Never Let Go

Edward led me up to the third floor and stopped at the door at the very end of the hallway. When he opened the door I gasped, it looked exactly like my old room in Forks. Of course the pictures were different, but the paint, the floors, the position of everything, it was all the same.

The pictures that hung around the room were all of me with the Cullen family. The majority of the, were of Edward and I. I looked to him in wonder. He smiled sheepishly at me. "I guess that all along I had a feeling that you were coming back, I just didn't want to believe it when it really happened."

"Yea… and it doesn't help that I look nothing like my old self either."

He grinned my favorite smile. "Yes, you defiantly look different Bella. Since when did you like being blonde?"

I smirked and hit him playfully. "Because it's who I am!" I replied jokingly. He smiled and wrapped me in his embrace. "I'll never let you go again."

"Good, cause I'm never letting go." He grinned and kissed my forehead. He suddenly looked back towards the staircase. "Carlisle wants to talk to us."

"Okay then, let's go!" I said as he released me from his embrace but held on to my hand. He pulled me softly towards the stairs, but I stopped in front of one of the other 2 doors. "Your room?" I asked, having a feeling that it was.

"Yup." I grinned before opening the door and walking in. There was only one large window on the far wall. Aside from that, the room was very similar to the one in Forks. From the black couch pushed up against the one wall, the bed by another wall, and his huge music collection, it brought back a lot of memories.

Edward wrapped his arms around my tiny waist. "We really should go see what Carlisle wants love." I grinned at him, looking back over my shoulder to see his face.

"Like you don't already know." He smiled crookedly before picking me up. "HEY!! PUT ME DOWN!" He grinned again before carrying me out of the room. "I SAID PUT ME DOWN!" He laughed hysterically as he quickly descended the 3 flights of stairs.

"Not a chance." He stopped in front of the only open couch and plopped down, with me still in his arms. He shifted me so that I was in a more comfortable position; sitting on his lap. I blushed when I saw Renee and Phil looking at me. This caused a round of hysterics.

I blushed an even deeper red. "Okay, enough laughing at the blushing Bella," I snapped when they didn't stop. They stopped, all but Emmett. This earned him a smack from Rosalie, and it was my turn to laugh, though it wasn't nearly as loud, or as long.

"Ask them Carlisle," Edward said softly. He nodded before turning to my parents.

"We were wondering if you would like to live with us. It wouldn't be any trouble at all," he added as soon as he saw the look on my mother's face. "It would actually be much simpler than our current living arrangements… I have a feeling that Edward and Bella will be spending a lot of time together anyways," he said while looking over to me. I just grinned back.

"Please mom? Please Phil?? Esme's an even better cook than I am!" I knew that would get Phil… he loved good food. Renee sighed as she looked over at Phil, then me, and then at the rest of the Cullen family.

"If you're sure that we won't disturb you guys at all…"

"YAY!!" I yelled as I hopped up and gave my mother a huge hug. "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" Edward chuckled as he stood and peeled me off of my mother, who was laughing hysterically.

"Well," she said as soon as she was able to stop laughing. "We have to go pack."

"No you don't!" Alice yelled happily. "I know exactly what you want, and we can get it soooo much faster than you can. Come on Jasper, Emmett, and Rose. This is easy! Whoever gets the most boxes back here in 1 hour gets out of shopping with me for a month!" They all sprinted out the door, even Rosalie. She must have been Alice's shopping buddy for too long.

Just then I noticed that Esme had already left. "Where did Esme go?"

Edward laughed again... I had a feeling that he hadn't laughed in a long time before I reappeared. "She went to cook dinner for you, Renee, and Phil. She's pretty much done."

"Yummy! Esme's cooking!" I yelled happily as I bounced up from where I was once again sitting in Edward's lap to run into the kitchen. There was a counter with bar stools along it and I quickly claimed one as I saw Esme putting some delicious looking chicken on plates. Renee and Phil joined me shortly after.

The few remaining Cullens laughed at me as I ate, but I didn't care. IT WAS DELICIOUS!
