A/N: Well, got some new readers from last chapter and the most awesome review ever (You know who you are!). Let's just cut the crap and get this ball rollin'. Fate Lowe, once again, my faithful Beta! I split this chapter into two parts because it was extremely long after I was finished writing it.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot.

The party was in full swing by 11pm. The doors had opened at eight and the bar was almost at full capacity. Those who had received invites from us were the first to get in of course and as for the other patrons, well let's just say that that linewrapped around the block. I was quite anxious to see if Carlisle and Esme showed up; I hadn't seem them in over three decades. The fact that they hadn't shown up yet was making me a little sad, but Jasper was keeping me occupied behind the bar because he could sense my anxiety.

The house band had been on stage for over a hour playing what was now referred to as 'oldies'. The songs they were playing were ones that we had grown up with listening to in high school, but hey, if you had to listen to the crap that they were calling 'music' nowadays, you wouldn't be complaining. Besides, our patrons loved our music choices.

Because of the outrageous amount of people who had shown up, Sam and Jared were our door bouncers for the evening. Jake and Seth were also bouncers for the party so that the rest of us could move around freely and cater to our guests. They were both walking around making sure everyone was having a good time and not getting into trouble.

Every one of us were decked out in our signature black bar t-shirts, complete with our bar name -- Eclipse -- in small red print on the upper left part of the shirt, so that newcomers could tell who we were. We had gotten a ton of offers from patrons asking if they could buy our shirts, but Alice and I refused every time we had gotten an offer. We had heard that some on-line t-shirt company was selling them for an insane amount of money, but when Carlisle had heard about it, he sent them an email stating that if they didn't stop selling them, that we would sue for copyright infringement. That's right, we had our shit copyrighted.

Over the course of the evening, Sam had radioed -- yes we wore tiny earpieces on our most busiest of evenings -- to either Alice or myself that someone was at the door wearing one of ouet-shirts -- an obvious fraud of course -- stating that they were 'staff' and were late, so to let them in quickly. This time though, the person that Sam had radioed to me about wasn't taking no for an answer.

I pressed the earpiece in a little to make sure I heard Sam correctly. "Alright Sam, I'm heading up. Hold them there." I rolled my eyes at the stupid things the person was yelling to Sam and searched the bar for relief. When I spotted Jasper hanging by the stage with Edward, I merely got up on the bar and yelled for him.

Edward's head turned in my direction with a slight smirk at seeing me standing on the bar top and nudged Jasper in his ribs. Jasper feigned pain and rubbed his ribs, lookedat Edward and gave him a look that clearly asked 'what the fuck?'. Edward titled his head in my direction and Jasper looked over at me. I waved at him and he rolled his eyes as he made his way over.

Edward must have been trying to tune out all the 'voices' around him, because he had such a look of concentration of his face.

'Poor baby. I'll make it up to him later,' I thought as I stared at him and winked. Edward nodded his head and winked back.

"What's up Bells?" Jasper asked as he approached the bar.

I crouched down, resting on the balls of my feet. "Sam's got a situation at the door that I need to take of. Can you take over for say, fifteen minutes while I sort it out?" I asked.

"Sure," he said hopping over the bar top.

I jumped down off the bar and made my way to the door. At first the task was difficult due to the insane amount of people that crowded the bar area, but once I cleared that, the rest of the way was easy. As I approached the doors I could clearly hear a woman yelling at Sam and Jared stating that if they didn't let her in that Alice and I would be pissed and that they would get fired. Jared saw me standing just to the left of the doors and winked at me. I shook my head telling him not to say anything yet.

"I'm serious guys. Ask her, I work here!" the woman whined.

Jared was looking at me out of the corner of his eye and I nodded at him. He cleared his throat as he blocked the entrance to the bar so she couldn't see me.

"Ask her yourself," I said as I placed my hand on Jared's left shoulder and pulled it away, letting the woman see me.

Her jaw dropped for a second at seeing me standing there, but quickly recovered and pounced on me, hugging me like I was her best friend. I patted her back awkwardly and moved away from her to stand in the middle of Jared and Sam. We had now made getting into the bar impossible, our bodies making a wall between the still long line of people waiting to get in and the party behind us.

"Oh Bella, thank god you're here! Tell these two clowns to let me in," she said to me gesturing to Sam and Jared.

I took a moment to look at her. I had actually seen her here before about three months ago, but not a day since. She was in fact wearing one of our bar shirts, but it was clearly a fake. No one but us had these shirts, but it was a good knock-off. The tell-tale sign of a fake was the color of thread used in embroidering our bar's logo on the shirt. It was a color of red that Alice had invented herself and had the patent on it. The color on his woman's shirt was a nasty cranberry red, close, but far too bright to match the actual color. Only vampires and werewolves could tell the difference between the two. Sam and Jared could clearly tell and did their job at keeping this woman out of my bar.

I looked at my bouncers for the evening, both their looks said that they were washing their hands of the sitaution. I turned back to the woman.

"Look...."

"Jessica," she said.

"Right. Look Jessica, I don't know where you got your shirt from, but it isn't one of ours," I said flatly crossing my arms over my chest.

"Of course it is. Alice gave it to me last week," she retorted.

I snorted. She was obviously lying now, we weren't even in this state last week, let alone that Alice would give one of our shirts away.

"Funny you should say that, 'cause we weren't even here last week. There's no way you could have gotten that shirt from Alice. So, if you could just turn around and go back to the end of line and wait your turn, you'll get in eventually," I said.

"But I've been waiting for two hours to get in," she whined.

"Not my problem," I said as I started to turn to go back in.

A hand slapped on to my upper right arm. I stared at it for a second before tracing the arm back to its owner, who happened to of course be, Jessica. I glared at her for a second them looked back at her hand that was still gripping my arm.

"If you want to keep that hand attached to your body, I suggest you remove it from my arm," I said, gritting my teeth and looking back up into her eyes.

She stared at me defiantly. "Not until you let me in," she seethed.

I gripped her fingers with my left hand and squeezed slightly. Her eyes widened at the strength of my grip, but didn't let up.

"Sam, have Miss Jessica escorted from the property. If she attempts to get back in line, call the cops," I said as I removed her hand from my arm.

Sam grabbed Jessica by her shoulders and all but shoved her away from the entrance, a firm grip on her left arm as he escorted her down the street. She kept looking back at me with a death glare. I just laughed as did Jared.

"Thanks Bella. I told her you wouldn't let her get in, but she wouldn't listen," Jared said.

"Jared, in my long lifetime, I have noticed that most Jessica's never listen," I said as I walked back into the bar laughing. "I'll send Seth out until Sam gets back." Jared nodded and went back to checking IDs.

As soon as I spotted Seth, I signalled for him to come to the door as I made my way back to the bar. With a nod of his head he started moving toward it, passing me along the way and patting my back.

I was almost back at the bar when Alice came dancing over to me. "Bella, I just got off the phone with Esme. She and Carlisle should be here in ten minutes!" she said bouncing up and down. My heart jumped at the news of them actually showing up.

I pressed in my earpiece and looked back toward the front doors. "Jared?" I saw him press in his earbud and looked back at me nodding for me to go ahead.

"The parental units will be here in ten minutes, let them in as soon as you spot them."

"Sure thing Bella," Jared said turning back to the line of people.

"Bella! I can't wait to see them! It's been what, almost four decades?" Alice asked.

I couldn't help but smile at her and her excited mood. I was excited myself; I just hid it better. "Alice, you need to calm down for at least thirty seconds. You jumping up and down like a bunny on crack will not help them get here any sooner," I laughed, placing my hands on her shoulders to stop her jumping up and down.

"I can't help it!" she nearly screamed.

I snorted. "Well try. I gotta go back to the bar and relieve Jasper. Make sure that he knows, just in case he didn't hear me talking to Jared," I said.

"Will do!" she said as she bounced off.

'I swear, if they could bottle her bounciness and sell it, it would become the latest drug craze!,' I thought as I made my way back to the bar.

Jasper had just finished pouring a row of shots as I moved behind the bar. There were too many people in front of it for me to jump over, so I took the human way around it. I patted his left shoulder as he was opening a bottle of beer to let him know I was back.

"Go ahead and go Jazz, I got this," I said as an order for three shots of whiskey was called. I quickly -- but at a human pace -- made the shots and passed them off to the awaiting customer. Cash was exchanged, but still Jasper wasn't moving from behind the bar. He just continued to fill order after order.

"Jazz, seriously, I got this. You can go," I said moving behind him to grab a bottle of bourbon.

"Bells, in case you haven't noticed, there is no way you can take care of every person standing here. Besides, it'll make the time go by quicker. I don't want to just stand around waiting for mom and dad to show up," he said moving to the next customer.

"You heard me, huh?"

Jasper gave me the 'duh' look and went to fill the next order. "Actually, Alice radioed and told me," he said smirking as set up another row of shots.

"Over-excited pixie," I muttered.

"Oh give it a rest, Bella. You are just as excited as she is. Did you suddenly forget I was an empath?"

"No."

Exactly eight minutes and forty-five seconds later, Alice came dancing over to the bar and moved behind it.

"They're here! They're here, they're here, they're here!" she sang as she moved to kiss me on my cheek before dancing over to Jasper and doing the same.

"Fuck Alice, calm down and move. I don't think the customers care if Carlisle and Esme are here," I said as I moved around her to fill the next order. Though truthfully, I was so nervous at the thought of seeing them, I almost dropped a bottle of vodka. Me, a vampire, dropping something, unheard of!

"Ladies and gents! Can I get your attention for a second?" Emmett's loud voice sounded over the PA system. Jasper and I both stopped mid-motion and stared at the stage. The entire bar flew into silence awaiting Emmett's next words. Standing just behind Emmett were Carlisle and Esme, both looking as beautiful as ever. My mouth suddenly went dry and I felt tears stinging my eyes.

"I just wanted to introduce two very special people, who have traveled all the way from Alaska to be here tonight." He motioned them forward and put an arm around each of them. They were both smiling as they looked out over the crowded bar. I spotted Edward standing on the left side of the stage, he too was smiling. It had been a longer time for him since the last time he saw them.

"This is Carlisle and Esme Cullen, our parents. Let's give them a cheer for traveling such a long way to be here tonight!" Emmett said as he turned to kiss Esme on her head. The whole bar erupted in cheers of joyous noise as Carlisle and Esme waved to the crowd. Emmett pulled his arms away and grabbed the mic.

"Alright. Enough of this sentimental bullshit! Let's party!" he yelled, earning him a smack on the back of his head from Esme, which in turn got the whole bar laughing.

"Mom! Not in front of my customers," Emmett whined as they walked offthe stage and the band started back up. The customers just continued to laugh for a couple of minutes then went back to talking and dancing.

I watched as Carlisle and Esme both approached Edward. The three of them just stood there staring at one another before Esme engulfed Edward in hug. The tears I had been holding back spilled over at the sight. I sniffled once and felt something land on my right shoulder. I turned my head and saw (a) clean hand towel hanging off my shoulder. I grabbed it off and turned to see Jasper had gone back to filling drink orders with a smile on his face. I wiped my tears away and saw Alice particularly vibrating from excitement. I just shook my head and threw the towel at her. She flinched as it landed on her head. She quickly grabbed it off and glared at me.

"Go Alice. Jasper and I can wait our turn," I said as I moved and shoved her out from behind the bar. She turned and smiled and almost flew over to the stage where Carlisle and Esme were. I watched as she nearly knocked over Carlisle from jumping on him. I heard Jasper laugh behind me and I turned to look at him.

"Maybe we should get Jacob and Seth to take over while we go say hi," he said placing his hands on my shoulders and rubbing them.

'Calm, yes. Rubbing my shoulders makes me calm,' I thought as Jasper kissed my temple and radioed to Jacob.

"Yeah, can you and Seth take over while Bella and I go say hi?" Jasper asked.

"We'll come over in a minute. They are heading our way; Seth wants to say hi too," Jacob said as I heard it through my earpiece as well.

Jasper just nodded and went back to attending to customers. No sooner than two minutes later, Seth and Jacob walked behind the bar and grabbed the two bottles of beer out of my hands. I flinched the second they disappeared from my hands, not expecting to see Jacob smiling at me as he passed off the beer to a customer.

"Go on Bells. Me and Seth can take care of everything here," Jake said.

I nodded my head and pointed to the next customer. "J.D. on the rocks and two gin and tonics," I said.

Jacob bent down and whispered, "I know Bella; I heard them. Sometimes I think my hearing is better than yours. I said go."

I felt Jasper taking my hand in his, pulling me along behind him as I watched Seth and Jacob pouring drinks. I was suddenly very nervous and I wasn't entirely sure why.

"Relax Bella, it's just Carlisle and Esme," Jasper said as he looked over his shoulder at me.

'Right. Carlisle and Esme. Why should I be nervous?'

Jasper and I weaved our way through the crowd, making our way over to the stage where Edward, Alice, Carlisle and Esme stood just to the right of the stage. Edward lifted his head when he saw us approaching, which signalled Esme to turn around with the biggest smile on her face. Carlisle turned as well with a smile and I disengaged my hand from Jasper's and ran to them. I think Carlisle had been prepared for my hug, because he didn't move when I basically tackled him from the force of my hug. His arms came around me, encasing me as I buried my head in his shoulder and cried. Since Charlie died, Carlisle had taken the role of my adopted father very seriously. He knew he could never replace Charlie, but gave me the fatherly love that I was so desperately missing after Charlie had died.

"I've missed you," he whispered bringing one hand up to sooth my hair. I could only nod. My tears were making my throat tight, not allowing me to form any words. I felt a hand rubbing small circles on my back -- knowing it was Jasper from the calm that was making its way through my system -- Isniffled once and pulled back to see Carlisle smiling down at me. He kissed my left temple and released me from our hug.

"Sorry," I whispered as I wiped at the tears that were still falling from my eyes.

"Don't be. Tears can say things that words cannot express," he said.

'Yeah, like I am a wimp when it comes tomy adoptive parents,' I thought sourly.

I turned into Jasper's hand at my back and saw Esme smiling at me, patiently waiting her turn. She stepped up to me and smoothed some hair out of my face.

"My beautiful daughter, it's been far too long," she said as she smiled and moved to hug me. I thought that I was done crying, but oh how I was wrong. The moment she embraced me and I her, they came like a downpour from my eyes. I felt her turn her head away from me. "Alice, be a dear and grab some tissues," she said.

I squeezed Esme tighter, hoping to convey without words how much I had missed her. I know that Renee was my real mother, but I had always felt like our roles had been reversed and that I was her mother instead of her being mine. It was weird when she passed, surprisingly not too much longer after Charlie had died, only two years. I felt like I was mourning the loss of a child, whereas when Charlie died it most definitely felt like the loss of a parent. Esme took great care of me both times and after Renee died I had almost immediately started calling Esme 'mom'. I felt guilty for the first couple of years, but Jasper had explained that I had always saw Esme as a 'mom' to me. The guilt never fully went away, even after Jasper's affirmation.

"Here ya go Bella," Alice said from behind me. I looked up at her and smiled as I took the tissues from her outstretched hand and stared wiping my face. Esme pulled back and cupped my face in her hands, smiling at me. I smiled back. "I missed you too," I whispered.

"I'm glad to see my son finally came to his senses," she said looking over my head to I could only guess was Edward.

"Yeah, yeah. I was an idiot. Everyone has already explained that me. I don't need a lecture from the two of you," Edward said as he came up behind me wrapping his arms around my waist.

I sank back into his arms and smiled as I watched Esme hug Jasper. I know how much he missed her too.

"You sure about that Edward? I think it might be time to have that father-son talk that has been put off for almost a century," Carlisle joked as he moved to Esme's side. He gave Jasper the good 'ole one-arm hug and stepped back.

"No need Carlisle, Emmett and I already took care of that," Jasper said. Alice moved in and molded herself to his side.

"Speaking of Emmett, where is he?" I asked as I searched the bar.

"Oh, a couple of guys were harassing Seth, so Emmett went to take care of it," Alice said.

Emmett came over looking a little perturbed and cursing under his breath. "What's wrong Emmett?" I asked.

"Nothing, just some stupid frat boys thinking they could con Seth into giving them free drinks. Seth told them theywere way over their alcohol limit, but they weren't listening to him or Jacob, so he asked me to step in," he said.

"This is a really nice place you kids have here. I'm sorry we haven't been down before, but our world tour took a little bit longer than expected," Esme said as she squeezed Carlisle's side with a smug smile plastered to her face.

"Please mom, no talk about your sexual advertures with dad," Emmett whined.

"Oh hush," she said playfully smacking his arm.

It felt nice having the family back together, but it was still incomplete without Rosalie here. I was getting nervous at the thought of her showing up. It had been decades since her and Emmett last saw each other, probably longer than that. I wasn't exactly sure of the math; I never thought to ask.

Just as I was wondering when she would show up, the bar went eerily silent and I saw Alice's face light up like a Christmas tree as she looked over toward the door. I followed her line of sight and there stood Rosalie in all her beautiful blonde glory.

"Hey, what are we all staring at? And why did everyone get--" Emmett trailed off, no doubt seeing Rosalie standing at the door.

I turned back to see Emmett's expression at seeing Rosalie standing there. His jaw had dropped open and I lifted my hand to close it.

"Holy shit!" he whispered. His face was frozen in shock as he stood there drinking in the sight of her. I turned again to see Rosalie making her way over to us. Every head in the bar followed her. She stopped in front of Emmett and smiled up at him, while he just stood there awestruck.

I saw Jasper nudge Emmett in the side. "Emmett?" he asked. Emmett shook his head quickly and cleared his throat.

'Wow! Emmett speechless? Who knew?' I thought.

We all stared at the two of them, waiting in eager anticipation for either of them to speak. It was Rosalie who broke the silence.

"Surprise," she whispered.

"You got that right!" Jacob hollered from across the bar.

"Jesus Emmett, hug the woman!" Jacob yelled again and other's around the bar joined in, yelling at Emmett to hug her.

I could see fire in Emmett's eyes as he gazed at Rosalie and when I looked at her, she had the same look in her eyes. I saw Jasper nudge Emmett again, forcing the frozen vampire to stumble forward.

"What took you so long?" Emmett whispered as he suddenly engulfed Rosalie in a hug. She hugged him with just as much force as he gave her. The whole bar erupted in noise, followed by catcalls and whistles as they went from hugging to full-blown making out.

'Well, I guess time hasn't erased their love for one another after all. Hmpf.' I thought as I took in the make-out scene before me.

"Get a room!" Sam shouted from the door.

Emmett pulled back and stared at Rosalie. "I fully plan on it," Emmett replied scooping her up in his arms. Rosalie just laughed as they disappeared out the back door.

"Well, I think it's safe to say that we won't be seeingthem for the rest of the night," Jasper said laughing.

"Actually, Jazz, you better make that the rest of the week," Alice said winking at him.

"It's great to have the family back together," Carlisle said hugging Esme to his side.

"I couldn't agree more," Edward said tightening his arms around my waist before kissing my neck.

A/N: Show me some love and I will give you guys the second part to this chapter!
