Chapter 15: Family Gathering

Me and the Cullens stood on the porch waiting for the arrival of my family. To my surprise even Rosalie stood waiting with us, in all her irritated glory.

I looked out onto the driveway before turning to Edward. "I thought you said they were almost here?"

"They are." He smiled knowingly at me. Instinctively I looked to Alice wondering if she saw something. To my surprise she was not staring at the driveway like the rest of us, she was looking up at the sky. It clicked to me then and I couldn't help but chuckle. Leave it to my family to make a memorable entrance. Following Alice's lead I looked up.

I watched as three dark spots started to come closer and take shape. Charlie flew in front of my brothers. I could make him out because he was the largest; his wing span could probably block the sun if it was out.

All the Cullens - except Alice and Edward - gasped when my father and brothers descended onto the lawn. I made my way towards them with Edward.

Where I was marble white when I turned Charlie was a light smoky grey. His face was still very feline but his eyes held wisdom and showed his true age. He toward over Edward and me. The older the Goras the taller they are in this shape. Like when they're human Simon and Mitch were identical, except for there colour. Simon was an a light bay and Mitch was an almost rust colour.

When I stood in front of him Charlie folded one wing around me, his way of a hug. I turned back to the Cullen's shocked faces after our embrace.

"May I introduce my father Charlie, and my brothers Simon and Mitch." With each introduction I pointed to the subject. "Guys," I looked at my family, "may I introduce the Cullens: Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper and Alice." After the introduction the Cullens made their way forward.

Carlisle stopped in front of Charlie and inclined his head in greeting. "It is a pleasure to meet you."

Charlie bowed his head in acknowledgement. "And you," his deep voiced rumbled out. The Cullens looked a bit shocked but seemed to except this new bit of information that he could talk in this form.

Before anything else could be said Alice was at my side.

"Bella, could you do something for me?" She looked at me with too innocent of eyes.

"Sure, Alice," I eyed her warily. What was she up to?

"Will you take off your bracelet so I could show you something?" I just looked at her. Was she serious?

"Please, Bella." Alice pouted. I hated feeling guilty so I turned to Edward for help. He was looking at his sister with amusement then turned to me.

"She'll only be a second," he promised. With a sigh I unclasped my bracelet and allowed Alice to pick me up and race me into the house and into her room. I didn't even have time acknowledge her room before I found myself seated in front of her bathroom mirror.

"Your giving me a make over?" I asked Alice in shock as I watched her start to bring out her make up kit. "I thought you were just going to show me something."

"You Goras may be pretty, but you will look stunning after I'm through with you." she said confidently. "And I knew that if I told you what I was planning you never would have agreed to come with me." With that she turned my chair so my back was to the mirror and started her work.

I sat perfectly still, afraid that if I moved a muscle something would jab me in the eye. Alice applied eye liner, mascara, blush - which I tried to tell her I really didn't need - eye shadow and more. After she was happy with my face she moved on to giving my hair loose curls. Once hair sprayed and moussed Alice lifted me with no effort and carried me to her closet. Without hesitation she grabbed a dark blue blouse and a black peasant skirt.

"Now change," she ordered before stepping out of her walk in closet -which was possibly bigger than my room- to give me some privacy. To intimidated by Alice I did what she said. When I walked out wearing my new outfit Alice showed me to her full length mirror.

"What do you think?" she asked excitedly. I was to stunned to answer. Standing in the mirror was me, I could easily depict that, but I looked…hot. Alice sure had talent. The make up made my brown eyes stand out, hardly giving any awareness that I was wearing make up. The outfit made my pale skin almost look like it was glowing, the blouse showing a tinge of cleavage. For just a second, despite the eye colour, I looked a bit like a vampire.

I turned to smile joyfully at Alice who started jumping up and down clapping. She retrieved a pair of black slip-ons, which I put on. Before I could even say my thanks she had me in her arms and ran back outside.

My family was still in their Goras form. Charlie seemed to be having an in depth conversation with Carlisle with Esme, Jasper, Edward and Rose standing close by listening. Mitch and Simon were, however, eyeing up Emmett, who was standing before them smiling evilly.

Alice stopped with me to watch the three. I watched as Simon and Mitch started to circle Emmett, with there own grins on their face.

"Oh shit," I whispered. I knew my brothers wouldn't hurt Emmett, but still I'm not sure play fighting is the best way to get to know someone.

The rest of the family noticed what was happening and made there way over. Edward stared concentratingly at his and my brothers. A mischievous smile over took his face as he reclasped my bracelet to me.

"Don't worry," he whispered in my ear. "Your brothers know that Emmett wants to show off, so they're going to put him in his place." This didn't comfort me.

I felt his lips at my neck. Was he trying to distract me? "You look very beautiful," he whispered in my ear. As much as I wanted to be alone with him right now, my attention got brought back to my brothers and Emmett.

Simon moved to stand in front of Emmett, trying to distract him from Mitch who was moving towards the back. It worked. As Simon crouched down ready to pounce, Mitch jumped, grabbed Emmett and took to the sky.

The sight of my brother dangling bulky Emmett in the air would have been entertaining if it wasn't for the sense of fear and dread that was running through me. I turned to Jasper who was holding Alice. He returned my stare and smiled at me. Jerk.

"Don't worry, Rose," Edward said soothingly, looking at his sister who looked as if she was going to murder someone. "He wont let him fall."

The fear was replaced by a sense of calm and amusement. I watched as Rose's glare slowly turned into a sneer. Mitch set a laughing Emmett back on the ground. Both Simon and Mitch joined in and soon we all were laughing.

I turned to Edward and smiled at him. I was so happy that our families were getting along. After Emmet's flying lesson Mitch started to talk to Jasper about a book they both had read. Simon was in a heated debate with Rose and Emmett on which car was better: the General Lee or the bat mobile. Charlie was back to talking to Carlisle and Esme.

I looked back at Edward who was staring at me with only love. I leaned up on my tip toes and kissed him softly. He wrapped his arm around my waist to bring me closer and I was only to happy to deepen the kiss. That is of course until I heard Emmett wolf whistle followed by everyone's laugh. I smiled at Edward who chuckled along with everyone, but I didn't miss the glare he shot at his brother.

I turned toward Alice to see her standing as still as stone staring at nothing. Her eyes looked blank, as if she was no longer in reality. I touched Edward and nodded towards her.

"What's wrong with Alice?" I asked slightly panicked. Within seconds Jasper was standing by Alice's side protectively while Edward concentrated stare bore into her. Before anyone else could move Alice blinked as if being awaken from a dream and looked around at our worried faces.

"What'd you see Alice?" Carlisle asked her. I didn't miss the quick glance at Edward before she spoke.

"I just saw someone visiting. I'm sure it's nothing." Everyone seemed to calm down slightly, but me. I could tell Alice was telling the truth, but it wasn't everything she saw.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

The rest of the night passed with all of us talking while me and my family ate Chinese food that Esme ordered for us. I was starved.

When it was close to midnight Charlie, Mitch and Simon said there thanks, gave both me and Edward wing hugs and took off home. I would be staying here for the night.

Me and Edward made our way back up to his room after I said my good nights to the rest of his family. He laid back on his couch bringing me back on top of him. I found myself not at all tired.

"Now then," Edward whispered as he began kissing me, "where were we before your family got here?"

"Hmm…" I pretended to think while he left a trail of kisses along my collar bone. "I think we were about here." I started to remove my shirt. Edward stopped what he was doing to watch me. I could feel the blush enter my cheeks just by his stare. God, what this man does to me.

When the blouse was off I reached for Edward's hand and placed it on my breast. He was all but willing to comply. I couldn't stop the moan that escaped me when he began to massage me. I looked to see him smiling hungrily at me. I kissed him feverly, letting him know how much I need him now.

When I needed to breath Edward's lips moved to my neck while my hands moved to unbutton his shirt. My hands ran over his perfectly sculpted chest. I could never get over how beautiful he was. I pulled the shirt off his shoulders as his free hand moved down the length of my back till he reached the top of my skirt.

"I hope you don't mind," Edward smiled slyly at me, "if I take the rest of your clothes off."

I couldn't help but laugh at his playfulness. "Not at all." I smiled at him breathlessly.

He flipped us so I was on my back. He kissed his way down my chest while his hands began to slide off both my skirt and panties. His mouth reached my breast and began to suck, making me gasp in pleasure. With my skirt gone his one hand began to move back up my thigh, stopping just at my entrance.

"Edward," I whispered. I could feel the desire in me and needed release. The muscles in my stomach clench as I felt one of his cool fingers enter me slowly, all the while his mouth never left me breast.

I started to pant when I felt another finger enter me, and his rhythm started to speed up.

"Edward," I begged. Edward's lips came up to my ear.

"I want to savor you Bella," he whispered. His lips captured my ear lobe and he began to suck. "I want to worship every part of you," his lips moved down my neck. "I want to make you scream my name."

It wouldn't take long until he got what he wanted. Removing his fingers from me he began to remove his pants. I was to nervous to watch the first time, but I watched now.

He brought his lips down heavily on mine, as if I was his only means of surviving. He entered me slowly, not at all hesitantly. His pace speeded up gradually.

"Bella, Bella," He placed kisses all on my face and neck all the while whispering words that in my fever of pleasure I couldn't understand.

"Edward," I whimpered. I could feel the coil in my stomach again. I was so close.

I felt myself clench around him before I screamed out his name and I was flying again. I was in complete bliss. I came back gasping and panting. I looked at Edward to see him down at me, as if I was the greatest treasure he had ever found.

He kissed me and I could feel the love pour into me through it. I moved my lips all along his face chanting "I love you."

Edward rolled again bringing me on top of him. I snuggled as close to him as I could. I felt Edward place a blanket around me to keep me warm.

He kissed the top of my head and buried his face in my hair, breathing in my sent. "Go to sleep love," his voice was muffled but still clear. His hands rubbed my back as he began humming the same tune as last night. Within seconds I was sound asleep.

Sorry for the wait. My mom turned off the computer because of a storm, and since she wont tell me the password I had to wait until she turned it back on, but hopefully the last bit of this chapter earn me your forgiveness lol. Review please :)
