Bella POV

Okay so I was scared that Edward was going to overreact. This isn't going to be fun at all. Just as we stepped into the house Alice had me in a hug. "Hello to you to Alice, nice to meet you in a closer proximity." I chuckled and heard her giggle at my comment. I leaned back to hug her again and whispered in her ear, "Did you know that I could hear extremely well and heal fast?" I leaned away to see her nod her head, that's why she called my phone.

A couple that I didn't recognize walked up to Edward and I, which we were holding hands, and they looked at our hands then towards my face. At the same exact time they did this, it crept my out a little bit. "Hello dear, my name is Esme and this is my husband Carlisle, we are the parents of Edward and Alice. It's so nice to meet you. Edward has been talking nonstop about you." I laughed and let go of Edward as she leaned in for a hug. This hug was a motherly hug which I hadn't experienced in about a year, since mom met Phil.

"It's nice to met you too Mr. and Mrs. Cullen." I was trying to have a good first impression on them so maybe they wouldn't freak out about my love for Edward.

"Nonsense Isabella, you can call us Carlisle and Esme." Carlisle finally made himself known and I was surprised that he had a very attractive sounding voice, but nothing like Edward's voice that sounded like they just let an angel come to me from heaven.

"Well then Carlisle and Esme I insist that you call me Bella. Only people that aren't considered family or friends call me Isabella." I blushed and I think Edward was the first to catch on about me considering them family already.

"Okay," Esme then looked over towards Edward and addressed him after the minutes ticked by with introductions. "Lead Bella into the living room and then we will be there in a few minutes so then we can have a discussion." They walked out of the room and I swear I heard a chuckle coming from the other room, but Edward was picking me up.

"EDWARD!" I laughed as he was carrying me bridal style towards a huge room. "Put…me…down!" I was laughing and so he really did put me down, just into his lap and he had pain on his face. "Edward, what's wrong?" I looked at him puzzled and then love was back on his face.

"Nothing love, I just heard what my parents' are going to ask us, and I really don't want you to be shy around them alright?" he smiled, but it didn't really reach his eyes.

"Okay I won't be shy around them and you can't I repeat CAN'T overreact, Alice told me a quick situation about you overreacting with something like cookies, and I don't wanna face that scary Edward." I giggled a little at the memory of Alice telling me quickly on the phone in the car and I was smiling for a while.

Carlisle and Esme walked into the living room where my giggling stopped almost immediately. "So we have a few questions for you Bella." Carlisle started and he sounded truly loving at this point. "You know about my son's ability right?" I nodded and then he just continued on with his questioning. "Do you know about Alice and Jasper too?" I nodded yet again and they seemed to want to hear me talk so I was about to say something when he asked another question that shocked me, "Have you ever had sexual relations with anybody?"

My blush grew more prominent as the question ended. I smiled and then answered with, "No Carlisle, I'm still a virgin so you don't have to worry about me being a whore or anything." Then under my breath I added, "Only dad thought that." And I looked up at Edward's face and saw that he had a questioning look on his face, but smiled for his parents.

"Well good. I wouldn't want another girl that Edward likes to not be a virgin." Was that awkward much? "So Bella can you tell why you came here to Forks?"

I almost cried right then and there, but I blinked them away and simply answered, "I didn't like my mom's new husband and she was moving to Florida so she told me that I could move here with my dad." I spit out dad and looked over towards Edward and he gave his parents a look that said 'I'll explain later, not right now.' He looked down and smiled so I continued with my explanation about my love for Edward. "If it wasn't for Edward then I wouldn't know what I would do." I grabbed his hand and squeezed it softly.

"Well I'm happy that you are happy dear." Esme finally spoke up to me and then started questioning me. "So why do you think you and Edward should be together?"

I answered immediately, "I think we should be together because there is something there that no one can deny, I tried running away from my feelings, but when he came near me I just knew that we would last. I know a lot of girls have probably said that about your son, but I think that this could last, for the rest of our lives." I smiled brightly and I was happy that I could express my true feelings for Edward. "I know that this might be hard and there will be times where I will hate his guts, but I'm ready for it, whatever it takes."

I looked over to see Esme crying silently as Carlisle was whispering things in her ear. "I'm sorry if I upset you." I said in a weak voice. Great once I can actually put out my feelings about Edward, I upset his mother. That's exactly what I wanted to do, upset the women that I would be living with for the rest of my high school career.

"Oh honey you didn't upset me. You just reminded me of when Carlisle and I met and I had those same feelings." She sniffled and I ran up to her and hug her. "Honey I think it would be great if you and Edward are together. I approve. What about you Carlisle?" At the same time both of us turned to the final decision, I could tell that my eyes were pleading and I heard Edward chuckle softly.

"I approve too, I just want to let you know that if Esme sees herself in you then you probably will end up like us, happy and married." A smiled was smeared on my face and lit up the whole room. I was starting to bounce up and down when Edward came and hugged me. "Now you two might want to go back to Bella's house just to get her stuff then come right back in here."

I nodded and started to walk out the door, but before I walked out of the living room I had to say something about their generosity with me. "Thank you guys so much, I really appreciate all that you're giving up for me, and thank you for believing in Edward and I. I-" Edward laughed and then looked at me.

"I think they get the point Bella, now do you want to go get your stuff?" I nodded and headed out the door. I heard the door open behind me and Edward simply picked me up again. "I'm so happy they said yes, either way I was still going to go out with you." He whispered in my ear and his lips kissed right below my earlobe. "I love you." Those three words almost made me teary-eyed, but I held it back.

"I love you too Edward." I paused and continued with something that was a little bit out of our choice of topic, "Why were you chuckling when Esme asked Carlisle about the approval?" He looked at me with guilty eyes.

"I kind of was looking through his mind and saw the exact same look that you displayed on Esme when they were seeking his parents approval. I thought it was funny." He chuckled and set me on the ground right next to his Volvo. He growled something and I gave him a questioning look. "Alice." He simply said and then stalked off to the other side of the Volvo. I jumped in and put my seatbelt on as he slid into the car. "Sorry, I was planning on kissing you, but I heard Alice saying in her mind that she was going to tell everyone to watch if I did, so I had to walk away. Sorry Love." He smiled a sympathetic smile and looked at me before he turned on the car. We were speeding onto the highway within two minutes.

**Arriving at the Ex-Swan's residence**

I looked up to see my old home that held so many torturing memories that were held in only a matter of days. I shivered involuntarily at these memories that only this house could provide. The reasoning behind the beatings were shitty needless to say. Charlie thinking that me coming into his life was going to be a living hell, but instead he made it a living hell and then died in the end, but like Edward said, he did deserve it. I stepped out of the car and started walking up the walk.

Let's step back into hell…
