EPOV-
I was content as I drove home from Bella's house that night. Content and most definitely relieved, I can't deny that I was nervous going to meet Charlie, aside from the fact that he was the Chief of Police and owned a gun he was also a father...Bella's father, my Girlfriend who used to be one of my students.
Charlie swan was a strange man in the sense that he was extremely upright and yet not unwilling to threaten my balls if I fucked up. He was a man of few words but those words he did speak were chosen extremely carefully and left no room for doubt.
He was very much like Bella I thought. In the sense that he wasn't very talkative and yet he came across as an extremely caring person. I could tell that he Loved Bella, he didn't say it out loud but the fact that I was sitting there at the table and not behind bars said it clearly enough.
He didn't give a damn about me but he loved Bella and hurting me would hurt her...He was an intelligent man. When Bella left us alone for a few minutes to set the table and finish dinner Charlie spoke to me out straight.
"You hurt my Girl and I will hunt you down and castrate you so that you'll never touch another woman again, understood?" I didn't doubt for one minute that he would hunt me down...and most definitely find me. If I ever upset Bella I was fucked.
"I understand sir, but you don't need to worry I wont hurt her and if I do then I will gladly let you castrate me, I love her and would never want to harm her in any way." I was completely honest, if I ever hurt Bella I would gladly let Charlie inflict pain.
"That's all I ask." Was his reply and after that we never spoke of it again.
I was actually starting to think that Charlie actually liked me until he started questioning me. I knew that sooner or later it was coming so I answered each of his question no matter how fucking ridiculous I felt they were.
When he asked about past relationships perhaps I should have let Bella handle it and then talked to her later but I didn't want Charlie to think I was hiding something.
I had nothing to hide. I could tell that Bella was upset about Tanya, maybe even a little jealous, she had no reason to be, Tanya was nothing but a friend and I would never want to be with her again.
It was always going to be Bella.
When I left Charlie shook my hand and I thought perhaps that was his way of telling me that he didn't hate me, at least I hoped so.
I couldn't wait until Sunday, to introduce Bella to my family. They would all love her of course...who wouldn't. I just hoped that they didn't come off as a little bit too strong. I thought back to the conversation I had with my parents the other day.
"So I've been dating someone." I said shuffling nervously on my mothers suede couch.
Esme looked like she was about to cry, her brown eyes large and wide, filled with un-spilled tears, she brought her hands up to her heart and gave me the biggest smile I'd ever seen. Carlisle looked...well surprised I guess.
"How long?" He asked.
"A few months now." I replied quietly, knowing that they would be upset that I had kept it a secret for so long.
"What, Edward Why didn't you tell us?" Esme asked...She sounded hurt that I would keep something so big from them, especially Esme. I'd always told Esme everything, we had no secrets and I felt very guilty that I had been keeping one for quite some time now.
"It's extremely complicated mom...We shouldn't really be dating, we could both get in trouble." I answered as honestly as possible.
Esme gasped, while Carlisle features told me he was concerned.
"Edward, if you are in trouble you can tell us and we will help...is...is she married or something?" Esme asked gently.
"No, it's not like that, she isn't married, she's only 18. It's just that...well, she is a student at the high school I work at." Esme brought her hands up to cover her mouth in shock. Both of my parents remained silent so I carried on.
"She was a student in my class, I had feelings for her the moment we met but I ignored them. When it got to the point that we no longer could, she transferred to another English class. She is no longer a student of mine."
"That doesn't matter to the board at the school Edward and everyone else in Forks. You are a teacher at that school and she is a student. You could lose everything over this, your reputation your career...Everything that you have worked for your entire life will be gone." Carlisle stated.
This was the most serious I have ever seen him. He wasn't angry or annoyed...he seemed concerned and slightly upset but not angry.
"I know that Dad, I was willing to quit my job and get another one somewhere else in Forks, I don't really need it after all, I have more than enough money to get by. I would have gladly given up the job but Bella wouldn't hear of it, she would never ask me to do that but if it comes to having to choose between my career or Bella, I'll choose Bella every time." I meant every word of it.
"Bella?" Carlisle asked.
I nodded.
"Isabella Swan." I could see him trying to recall why that sounded familiar.
"Chief Swans daughter." I answered.
My mother gasped again, while Carlisle shook his head.
"Edward if he finds out..." He trailed off.
"Bella is telling him tonight, we figure it's better he hears from us rather than someone else. She thinks that he will be okay, once he has time to process."
Carlisle nodded.
"That's probably best...So you like this girl then?" He asked.
"I love her." One of Esme's tears finally escaped.
"And you are sure she returns these feelings, I'm concerned Edward, she is very young and maybe right now she is in love but young love does not always last, I just don't want you to sacrifice everything for nothing" Carlisle implored.
"She isn't nothing, You haven't met her yet, she is young but she is an old soul, sometimes I think her more mature...and intelligent than I am. I am 100% certain that she feel's the same way." Carlisle nodded his head.
"I believe you then and I give you my full support like always son, I won't say I am not concerned, you are my son of course I am but we only want you to be happy, if Bella is that for you then we will accept her like part of the family."
That was the Carlisle I knew and loved, the one that supported you decisions even if he wasn't sure of them himself, he trusted me to be a good man and I hoped for him that I was.
Esme joined in finally.
"Of course you have our full support, we love you so much Edward." She said reaching over and pulling me into a hug, I rubbed her back, silently telling her that I loved them as well.
"You will love her Esme honestly, she is so amazing, she has been through so much...Maybe more than I have and She amazes me everyday how she copes. She recently lost someone very close to her, her twin brother and she is having a hard time, she isn't on speaking terms with her mother so I think you will be good for her."
Esme was a mother through and through every touch and every word was filled with comfort and love and I knew that Bella could do with more of that in her life.
Esme's eyes sparkled.
"When can we meet her?" She reached over and grabbed my fathers hand. I always was amazed at how much they loved each other even after all these years, I hoped that Bella and I could be like that in thirty years.
"When ever you want to I suppose." I shrugged.
We are having a family barbeque Sunday, ask her to come." She seemed excited.
I shook my head.
"I haven't told Emmett yet, besides I don't know if meeting the entire family at the same time is a good idea...it might be a bit much." I answered unsure.
"Oh Edward please, I can talk to Emmett and I'll make sure the whole family are on their best behavior, Please." She begged and I couldn't help but chuckle...so that's where Alice gets it from.
I couldn't say no to her.
"Okay I'll ask." I agreed reluctantly knowing that Bella would never really say no because it was my mother who invited her.
Esme beamed at me ecstatic. While Carlisle shot me a smirk. Knowing that I'd never say no to Esme, I don't know how he could smirk when he was even more hopeless than I was.
"Oh, I can't wait to meet her, I'll have to make more food than usual, is there anything she doesn't like, or is she allergic to anything?" I chuckled at her enthusiasm.
"No she isn't allergic to anything...But she does hate milk...you can put it into things like cakes or whatever just don't have a glass of milk sitting around." Esme looked at me oddly and I couldn't help but chuckle. Bella and her milk phobia.
"Okay, no glasses of milk then." Esme nodded.
After that we just chatted about nothing important and when it was time for me to leave Esme hugged me hard.
"I can't wait to meet her Edward, I'm sure she is amazing." I just smiled.
Carlisle pulled me into a hug and when he pulled back he placed his hand on my shoulder and squeezed...it was all the reassurance that I needed. They were happy for me.
Now all I had to do was pray that my family wasn't crazy enough to send Bella running.
BPOV-
Oh God, Oh God...it was a continuous mantra running through my head, as I sat in the passenger seat of Edwards Volvo on Sunday.
I was going to meet all of Edwards family. What if they didn't like me? or What if I did something completely stupid and embarrassed myself? Oh God I felt like I was going to be sick. I took a deep breath and slowly let it out willing the nausea away.
Edward reached over the console and grabbed my balled up fist into his hand. He gave it a squeeze of reassurance. I turned to look at him and he peeked at me from the corner of his eye for a second before turning his attention back to the road.
"It will be okay, I promise. They will love you, just like I do, Besides Alice will be there so you will know someone else." I nodded glad that Alice would in fact be there, we had text a few times since our last shopping trip and I liked to think that I could call her a friend.
"Your right, I'll be fine. I just really want them to like me."
"They will" Edward said confidently...I wasn't so sure.
When we finally pulled up to the house if you could even call it that I gasped. If there was any doubt before that the Cullen's had money...a lot of it, it was completely gone now. It was huge and Charlie's house looked like a cardboard box compared to it.
The drive way was gravel and large, on both sides sat flowerbeds with numerous colorful and exotic flowers. The house itself sat large and slightly intimidating in it's size and elegance. It was a dark grey and yet despite it's color it seemed bright and inviting.
It had three floors and from the outside the middle floor was done in a warm colored wood that contrasted brilliantly against the grey of the other two floors. Windows seemed to dominate the house, making it large and open. I could only imagine what the inside looked like.
The sound of Edwards door shutting broke me out of my awe. Within seconds Edward was opening my door and offering his hand, I carefully picked up the gifts that sat on my lap. I didn't let go of Edwards hand and I squeezed it as he rang the door bell.
The amazingly loud *Ding, Dong* made me jump. Oh God here it goes.
A petit woman with hair the color of rich caramel answered the door and I immediately recognized her from the photograph in Edwards room. She was even more beautiful in person, Her brown eyes were large and full of light and beauty unlike like my dull brown eyes.
Her lips which were pulled into a smile were pink and pout, Her caramel hair shined in the rare sun that was out and her entire body screamed mother and love. I loved her already.
She totally ignored Edward and went straight for me, Pulling me into a tight hug. She smelled like cookies and sunshine, I inhaled deeply...this is what a mother smelled like.
"Welcome to the family Bella." She whispered in my ear. Tears sprung to my eyes and I reached up and patted her back softly with the hand that wasn't holding the presents.
"Don't worry about me mom...I'm only your baby boy." Edward mumbled. Esme chuckled before pulling back from me and turning her attention to Edward.
"I'm sorry son, of course I'm delighted your here as well." She said in her soothing voice pulling Edward into a hug.
"I apologize Bella, I've been dying to meet you, since Edward told us about you." She seemed apologetic , unsure if she came across as too strong. I didn't want her to think that.
"No Mrs. Cullen, there is no need to apologize, thank you for welcoming me so warmly." Esme patted Edward on the am and smiled at me.
"Call Me Esme dear." She answered warmly.
"Thank you Esme, I made desert." I said offering the box to her.
She took it and opened the lid, taking a quick peek.
"Oh Banoffee pie, Carlisle is going to love you, it's his favorite." She laughed.
"And these are for you." I said nervously handing over the pot of blue Flax flowers. They meant I feel your Kindness and I felt that they were perfect for Esme.
Esme gasped as she reached out to take the pot of flowers from me.
"Oh Bella, Thank you they are beautiful, Please come in." She said moving to the side to allow us into the house.
The house was as beautiful inside as it was out. Browns, creams and beige seemed to be the colors that were used the most. It was an open floor plan which made everything from the kitchen and dining room to the living blend together beautifully.
"Everyone is out the back enjoying the sun while they can, if you want to bring Bella back there Edward, while I give these a bit of water." She nodded towards the back door.
Edward squeezed my hand before leading me through the house and out the back door.
The back garden was as beautiful as the rest of the house, numerous flower beds were planted which made it clear that Esme had a bit of a green thumb, at the far end of the garden sat a set of swings, I furrowed my brow wondering why they would be there. The garden was surrounded by forest and I couldn't help but wonder how much of that the Cullen's owned also.
Edward put his hand on my lower back and lead me towards a large wooden picnic table surrounded by people. I noticed Alice first, she jumped up and called my name before quickly pulling me into a hug.
I hugged her back glad to have someone else I knew there. She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards a blonde man with shoulder length curly hair.
"Bella, this is my Jasper." I smiled, offering my hand.
"It's nice to meet you Jasper." I said when he shook it.
"You too Bella, Alice talks non-stop about you." He chuckled.
"Likewise." I joined in. I liked Jasper already, He seemed extremely friendly and really laid back and relaxed but then again I suppose you would have to be in order to be with Alice. They appeared to complement each other perfectly.
I looked over to see Edward hugging an older blonde man whom I assumed was Carlisle. When they pulled apart Edward turned to me.
"Bella, I'd like you to meet my father." I walked towards them carefully extending my hand to meet the one that Carlisle already had outstretched.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Dr. Cullen." I tried to sound less nervous than I felt, knowing of Carlisle's concerns about me.
"Please call me Carlisle and it's wonderful to meet you as well Bella, Edward tells us noting but nice things about you." I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Carlisle." He smiled at me and I felt so relieved that I couldn't help but turn to look at Edward with a smile. He reached out and grabbed my hand, giving it a small squeeze and he gave me an I told you so look.
I couldn't focus on it for too long because I was suddenly pulled into a hug from behind, so powerful that I was literally lifted off my feet. I gasped from shock and Edward immediately shouted.
"Emmett, put her down, your going to hurt her."
Emmett carefully placed me back on my feet, I turned to look at him and could do nothing but blink. He was huge...only slightly taller than Edward but he had some massive muscles, It's a wonder he didn't squeeze me to death.
"Oh man, I'm sorry, I just got excited I didn't break you did I?" I immediately smiled, He Looked like a massive grizzly Bear but spoke and acted like a teddy Bear.
"No, I'm fine, really I'm okay, nothing broke. It's nice to meet you Emmett."
"You too, so tell me, be honest it's okay, is Edward a terrible teacher, completely stuck up? I bet he even gives homework." I froze for a moment, it was the first time Edward being a teacher and me being his student was mentioned and I wasn't sue how everyone would react.
I needn't have worried everyone laughed at Emmett's question. I smiled.
"Edward is actually a brilliant teacher. All the students in his class think he is the best teacher in the place...despite the fact that he does indeed give homework."
"Ha who would have thought, little Eddiekins is cool with the young ones." Emmett teased.
"Don't call me that Emmett!" Edward practically growled.
"And of course they think I'm cool...I'm down with the youngsters...I'm the BOMB." I burst out laughing when he said that. He looked a little bit hurt so I reached out and grabbed his forearm.
"I'm sorry, it's just nobody says the BOMB anymore but you're right you are...cool..." At that I started laughing again, everyone joined in except Edward who continued to pout. I leaned over and gave him a hug.
"I think your the BOMB" I whispered in his ear. He smiled a huge smile and kissed me on the cheek.
We were interrupted then by the sound of someone squealing "Uncle Eddie!"
I pulled back in enough time for Edward to catch the little girl throwing herself at Edward.
Uncle Eddie I frowned, knowing that Edward never mentioned having a niece, suddenly the swings I saw earlier made a lot more sense.
"Hi Maddie moo, you get taller every time I see you, your nearly taller than me now." He said with her in his arms.
"Uncle Eddie, I'm only 4. I'm not a big girl yet, so I can't be big as you silly." Edward chuckled at her.
"Of Course, I'm so silly. Where is your baby brother?" He asked her.
"Harry is with momma and grandma. They is gonna make a tasty dinner." She said seriously. Edward nodded.
"And are you going to eat all of your dinner?" He asked.
"Momma said I have to or else I don't get princess pink Ice cream."
Edward gasped at her.
"princess pink Ice cream...do I get any pink Ice cream?"
"You can't have pink Ice cream your a big Boy Eddie." Everyone around the table laughed at her.
Edward turned Maddie to look at me.
"This is my girlfriend Bella, can she have some pink Ice cream?" He asked her. She looked me up and down before nodding her head.
"Does you like pink Bella?" She asked me and I smiled.
"I love pink and princesses." I answered.
"Okay, you can have princess Ice cream too." She smiled a toothy smile at me. She was completely adorable, blue eyes, Blonde ringlet curls and she was wearing a little pink tutu with converse.
"You don't get Ice cream until all of your dinner is gone Madison." A stern, bell voice called from the back door. I turned around quickly and almost gasped aloud.
A tall curvy blonde stood at least 5ft 7 just at the back door, a chubby brown haired baby in her arms. She was absolutely stunning, one of those girls that made every other girl in the room feel like the ugly duckling.
She walked towards Edward and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"How are you doing?" She asked. Edward smiled putting Maddie back on the ground.
"I'm good, and what about you two?" He asked looking down at the baby.
"We are great, I'm especially great now that Harry is actually sleeping at night." She smiled.
Edward laughed at her.
"Rosalie, this is Bella." He introduced, touching my arm.
She looked me up and down, sizing me up. She looked me right in the eye and smirked and it wasn't anything like the cheeky smirk that Edward gives me. Rosalie's Smirk was meant to say that she didn't think I was anything special.
I swallowed.
"Hi." She said icily before turning away and heading over to Emmett and leaning in to kiss him. I assumed that meant that she was Emmett's wife.
Edward squeezed my hand and leaned in to whisper.
"Don't worry about Rosalie, she doesn't like meeting new people, Give it a few minutes and she'll warm up." I wanted to tell him that I didn't think she would, that I was pretty sure it had nothing to do with meeting a new person and more to do with the fact that the new person was me but I never got the chance to because right then Esme carried out a tray of food.
"Can I help you with anything?" I asked, not wanting to be rude.
"I would love that dear." She said reaching an arm around my shoulders and leading me towards the kitchen.
Emmett was in charge of the BBQ because as he stated "It's a job for only the manliest of men and that was him." With the size of his muscles I couldn't disagree.
Dinner went smoothly, We talked about all kinds of things: work, shopping and everything in between
Eventually during dessert, as Carlisle was on this third slice of banoffee pie Esme started asking about me.
"So Edward mentiond that your an artist." She smiled.
I laughed.
"Erm...No not really, I mean I dabble here and there but I don't actually sell anything so..."
Edward snorted.
"Don't listen to her, she's too modest. She is amazing and could easily sell her work if she wanted to. I've seen some of her stuff it's brilliant."
I elbowed him and he smirked at me.
"How long have you been drawing and painting?" Esme asked curiously.
"A good few years, I started when I was just a kid."
"I thought you still were a kid." Rosalie mumbled loud enough that everyone heard it. I blushed, feeling more embarrassed than I have in a long time.
"Rose." Emmett scolded. She just ignored him and focused her attention on Harry in her lap. Edward squeezed my knee under the table. I didn't say or do anything, I didn't know what to say, I was way too embarrassed.
"Well I'd love to see some of your work one day, I'm sure it's just as amazing as Edward say's it is." Esme smiled. I couldn't have loved her anymore in that moment for breaking the uncomfortable silence that surrounded us.
Rosalie didn't say anything rude to me again for the remainder of dessert, in fact she didn't say anything to me at all, she completely ignored me. She seemed to be the only one that didn't like me, I didn't know what her problem was or what I had done to offend her.
Some time after dinner Edward, Emmett and Jasper were talking at the far end of the table, Carlisle and Esme were in doing dishes, and refused to let me help, so that left me with Alice and Rosalie.
It was awkward to say the least Alice and Rosalie chatted, occasionally Alice would include me somehow but Rosalie completely ignored me, as if I wasn't even there at one point she stood up and held Harry out towards Alice.
"Will you hold him while I go to the bathroom?" She asked. Alice shook her head.
"I'm going to go in and give mum and Dad a hand, Bella will look after him for you, right?" She asked me.
"Yeah sure, I don't mind." I nodded.
Rosalie looked me up and down before smirking.
"No that's all right, I'll ask one of the boys." I blushed embarrassed.
She walked away as I fiddled with the hem of my white linen sun dress. Alice reached over and patted my knee before standing and heading towards the kitchen.
I sat in silence alone at the table. I was so embarrassed but a part of me was also hurt. I knew before that Rosalie wasn't very fond of me but after that, she doesn't trust me at all.
It's not that she looked at me with hatred, I'd seen that before. I've had people talk to me with hatred and anger but what Rosalie did was so much worse.
She looked at me with indifference...as if I was nothing, like a piece of gum stuck to her shoe. I felt like that all of a sudden, looking around at everything surrounding me for the first time I wondered why Edward was with me, what I could possibly have to offer.
I'd never really had money, we'd struggled financially my entire life, with my flighty mother who couldn't hold a job, I'd never had many friends and I always knew I was different than most people my age but never in my entire life has someone been able to make me feel like less of a person like Rosalie had just done.
I felt like less of a person now, like I wasn't even fit to breath the same air as these people.
Edward sat down beside me with Harry on his knee's.
"Are you okay?" He asked concerned.
"I'm fine." I fake smiled, he saw through it of course.
"Did Rosalie say or do something Bella?" He asked worriedly. I didn't answer his question.
"She doesn't like me." I stated. He opened his mouth, ready to deny it but I raised my eyebrow. He sighed.
"No she doesn't. Rosalie is extremely protective of the people she cares about and unfortunately she can also be a bitch, I'm sorry that she has been rude, I'll talk to her but you shouldn't take it personally because it isn't really about you, she just doesn't trust people." I nodded that I understood.
I played with my fingers nervously.
"Edward, Why are you with someone like me?" I blurted out, he looked surprised.
"Why would you ask something like that?"
I sighed.
"It's just, I don't have any money, I'm 18, I'm not really that pretty not to mention all the baggage I have. I just don't get it, You could have any girl...Why me?" I asked again.
"Because I love you Bella, everything about you. I think you are beautiful in every single way, I don't care about your age, and I have my fair share of baggage Bella, you've had a tough life...tougher than most and I love you even more for it.
You are so strong, I am awed by all that you have overcome Bella and as for the money, If you think for one second that I care about that, then you don't know me at all."
I nodded at him.
"Your right, I'm sorry, that I ever doubted you." I said ashamed.
"You didn't doubt me Bella, You doubted yourself. I love you, I'm not leaving you...Now you just have to believe that I mean it...That you are worth it because you are Bella." He looked me right in the eye.
"I'm sorry, I worked myself up. I do believe you. I love you Edward." I smiled, truly meaning it.
"I love you too, more than anything." I leaned in and kissed him on the cheek before resting my head on his shoulder looking down at Harry who was now snuggled up to his chest asleep.
"You never told me you had a niece and nephew." I whispered afraid of waking Harry up.
"I didn't?" He asked with a furrowed brow. I shook my head no.
"That's odd because I talk about them all the time. I guess when we are together I tend to enter a bubble and forget about the outside world." I nodded, understanding what he meant.
"I'm sorry that I never told you, It wasn't intentional." He said sincerely.
"It's okay. How old is he?"
"Two months." Edward smiled.
I reached out slowly and gently touched one of his tiny fingers that were curled up into a fist.
"He's so tiny." I whispered.
"Would you like to hold him?" Edward asked.
I looked around for Rosalie and found her sitting beside Emmett in a conversation with Jasper. Edward saw me looking at her and looked at me questioningly.
"I don't know if that's a good idea." I shrugged acting like it was no big deal.
"Did she tell you that you couldn't hold him?" Edward asked angrily.
"I offered to hold him while she went to the bathroom. She said no and gave him to you, it's okay she just doesn't trust me is all." I answered.
Edward shook his head angrily.
"I'm sorry she did that, that was just her being a snotty little bitch." I shrugged.
He looked over at Emmett and Rosalie.
"Hey Emmett, is it okay if Bella holds Harry?" He asked looking Rosalie square in the eye.
Emmett shrugged.
"Eh...Yeah man, You don't have to ask, of course you can Bella, your family now. Next time you can just pick him up, like you would your own." He said sincerely. I smiled gently at him. He just said I was part of the family I can't even express how much that meant to me.
Rosalie just rolled her eyes but didn't complain when Edward stood to pass a sleeping Harry to me.
"Do you know how to hold a baby?" He asked. I laughed.
"Yeah I do, I have cousins you know, Not to mention that I loved playing mams and dads when I was a kid." Edward smiled as he placed Harry in my arms, I was careful to support his head.
Harry scrunched his little nose up clearly not happy about being disturbed, within seconds his features relaxed and he was back to sleep. I chuckled at his cuteness running my finger over his little chubby cheek.
"Do you want to have any children?" Edward ran his fingers through his hair nervously.
I looked over at him thinking about it. I pictured little Edwards running around a house and smiled.
"Yes, in a few years definitely. Do You?"
"Yeah, I do." He smiled at me goofily and I chuckled.
Eventually my arm started to go dead so I handed Harry back to Edward. We went ack to join the others and I spent the next hour watching Emmett tease Edward mercilessly for the next hour.
Emmett was like a big kid, he'd occasionally tease me a little, he'd started to try come up with nick names for me...each one crazier than the next. So far I'd been called Belly, Beller, Belly bean, and Bell...then just kept on coming and I had no idea how he came up with them so fast.
We sat and laughed for a while before Maddie came over to us.
"Bella, Do you wanna play Barbie Princess?" She was looking up at me all adorable...I couldn't say no.
"Yeah I would love to play. I love Barbie she's my favorite." I heard Edward snort from beside me and I elbowed him. What the hell was funny about Barbie...She is awesome.
Maddie then produced two dolls from behind her back.
"I be Barbie princess and you can be the prince Bella." I nodded my head taking the prince from her little hand.
Edward started laughing beside me.
"Your a man." He whispered between his laughs.
I pouted as Maddie ran away, she came back a minute later with a pink glittery horse and carriage.
"Here uncle Eddie, you play the horse, her name is sparkles." Edwards mouth fell open and I burst out laughing ha Karma's a bitch.
"Aw, bet you're wishing you got the prince now huh!" I snickered at him.
He shook his head sadly.
"Here Em, Take Harry so I can play."
By the time Edward turned back to face us Maddie was already filling me in on what exactly we were going to do.
"...And then Sparkles will take us to the party and Barbie and prince will Dance all night. And then they'll have a big kiss and they live happy everyday." I nodded my head taking in every word she said.
We got to work and Both Maddie and I were doing great until it was time for Sparkles to take us to the party and Edward had to screw up. He kept making horse sounds and clearly this was wrong.
"No Eddie, Sparkles is posed to talk to Barbie and the prince." She was clearly frustrated that Edward didn't know this. I snickered at him. Edwards brow furrowed.
"So the horse is supposed to talk?" He asked. Maddie just looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Of course the horse can talk Edward...How did you not know that." I teased. He glared at me for a second before getting back into character.
" I love you more than all the pink in the world Barbie." The prince/ I said to Barbie as the last Dance at the party came to a close. Maddie put Barbie's arms around the prince and smashed their two faces together while making kissing sounds.
Then she pulled Barbie back and said.
"Now we can go and live in your pink castle and you can buy me a pink car and a pink Doggy and fish and we'll live happy everyday and of course we can find a boyfriend for sparkles so she can live happy everyday too." I smiled at her, she was way too cute.
"The End." She said dropping Barbie and clapping her hands, Everyone around the table joined in. I saw Rosalie looking at Maddie with a smile.
"Bella you were the best prince. And you look really pretty and we can be best friends now." She came over and hugged me and I squeezed her tight.
"Well I'm not as pretty as you, and I'd love to be best friends. What about uncle Edward?" I asked.
"He is my best friend too and he's your boyfriend just like the prince and Barbie and you kiss too, that's what Daddy told me." I blushed as Edward laughed at me.
I had to admit that I was sad when it was time to go, I'd had so much fun the last few hours. Rosalie aside, everyone had been so nice to me and so welcoming. They made me feel like part of the family.
As we were leaving I hugged them all and they each said a little something to me.
Alice told me would have to go shopping again and I agreed, Jasper said he looked forward to seeing me again, Emmett told me to let him know if Edward eve hurt me because he would kick him where the sun don't shine.
Esme welcomed me to the family again and Carlisle thanked me, He said that he could see that I was good for Edward. Rosalie didn't hug me, not that I was expecting her to. I hoped that one day she would come around, I just didn't know when or if that day would ever come.
"I love your family." I smiled as Edward pulled up outside Charlie's house.
"I'm glad...They loved you too, you know that right?" he asked running his fingers through my hair. I nodded yes.
I leaned over and captured his lips with mine. I sucked his bottom lip between mine and bit down on it slightly before licking exactly where I had bitten, Edward slipped his tongue into my mouth and the overwhelming taste of Edward forced my eyes to shut and my breathing to speed up.
I was getting uncomfortable leaning across the seats so I climbed over onto Edwards lap, my back against the steering wheel. We continued kissing for quite some time, safe in the knowledge that Charlie was at work so he wouldn't be able to see us.
When I ran out of breath I pulled back and Edward started trailing kisses along my throat. He placed his hands on my hips, gently rubbing my skin through the fabric of my dress. The feeling of that combined with the feeling of him kissing a particularly sensitive spot right behind my ear lobe cause me to moan and automatically thrust my hips.
I rubbed right up against Edward and the flimsy material of my dress did nothing to stop the feel of him hard beneath me. He moaned and it's as if the sound traveled through my entire body right down below. I moaned in response, I'd never felt anything like that in my entire life.
We had never gotten this far, I mean, we had essentially just dry humped a little bit. I blushed in response to my thoughts. Edward moaned at the sight of my blush and pulled back panting.
"Bella, we have to stop...I...It's so good, we should stop." I nodded agreeing with him but I couldn't find the strength to pull myself off his lap.
Edward leaned his forehead against mine. We stayed like that until our breathing was slower. I pecked him on the lips before removing myself from his lap, back into the passenger seat.
"I Better go." I whispered. He nodded.
"I'll talk to you tomorrow."
"Yep." I smiled.
"Bella, Thank you for coming today, I know you were nervous but I'm glad you came." He gave me his crooked grin.
"I'm glad I came too."
I waved goodbye as I climbed from the car and walked into the house feeling like I was high. High on Edward Cullen.
It was a great feeling.
When Charlie arrived home I told him about my entire day. I told him about how nice the Cullen's were, how they made me feel like a part of the family. I also talked about how much of a bitch Rosalie was. He assured me that Edward was probably right and that eventually she would warm up to me. I hoped they were right.
Charlie told me that He was planning on going fishing next Saturday. That was perfect because I wanted to finish Edwards drawing, I'd been doing it bit by bit all week and I planned to give him that and another one for Christmas as part of his gift.
Charlie being gone for the day meant I could turn up the music and relax a little more...get into the zone and who knows maybe if I finished early I could invite Edward over.
Roll on Saturday is all I could think that night as I lay in bed. Well that and also the fact that Edward wanted to have kids with me one day...he never said it aloud but the smile after he told me he wanted kids definitely implied that he wanted them with me.
This meant he planned to spend the rest of his life with me and forever with Edward sounded really really good.
A/N: I Know I'm a tease and a cock blocker! *Hides Behind computer* But you didn't actually think it was gonna go further while they were in the car outside Charlie's house, did you? I did warn you at the beginning that it was only a little taste of a lemon ;)
First of all I want to thank everyone for all of the super amazing reviews, each and every single one meant so much and I'm so grateful for how nice everyone was...You guys rock. A few people even Recommended L&L to friends. Thanks so much...You know who you are.
Secondly I'd like to give a shout out to MissFictionJunkieUnknown. She requested that I write the conversation between Edward and his parents, so you can thank her for that one. :) Hope you enjoy it xxx
Lastly I'd just like to say that this chapter sucked to write. I wrote the whole thing out and just wasn't happy so I deleted it and started from scratch...I'm still not 100% happy with it, but ah well what can you do...Anyway I hope you enjoyed.
