The flight to the Cullen's home in Forks, Washington seemed to fly by in the private jet of the Volturi

The flight to the Cullen's home in Forks, Washington seemed to fly by in the private jet of the Volturi. As I sat in a chair peering out the window, I was amazed at how much more detailed everything seemed to be from the last time I was on a plane, which had been when I was still human.

I just couldn't seem to tear my eyes away from view. I could feel the presence next to me, and smell that delicious scent that only Edward had, but even with him there, I knew he would not have me miss the view to look at him. Instead, he wrapped his hands around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder, joining me in the view of what we were passing over.

"I want you to live with me always," Edward whispered into my ear before kissing my cheek.

I sighed and leaned further back into his embrace. "I'd like that," I admitted.

The place the Cullens called home was very green. That was the first thing I noticed. The different shades and the places covered with the color.

"What are you looking at, love?" Edward's velvet voice trickled into my ear like a sweet song.

I turned my head slightly to the right to look at Edward's stoic face as he looked out the window, into the vastness of jade green. "The color. It's everywhere, I've never seen any place like it," I admitted. I kept to myself the fact that it was misting on the verge of sprinkling. I had always liked the rain. The soothing feeling it always seemed to bring.

"My eyes used to be green," Edward whispered. I snapped my head away from the scenery once again to stare at my perfection, his eyes still looking out at the landscape. "When I was human," he whispered even more softly.

I stretched my neck up that little distance and was able to kiss the cut of his jaw line, before I turned my head back towards the window and tried to pick out exactly which color green I could imagine Edward's eyes as.

We took a car directly from a private landing near Seattle to Forks, Alice telling me it wasn't worth the extra plane ride to Port Angeles since they drove so fast anyways. This was one thing I was not looking forward to.

I had never really liked going fast while I was human. Running as a vampire through the trees was exhilarating, to say the least, but it was somehow different. It was under my own control. Cars weren't.

We weren't met at the landing strip by a black Mercedes and leaning against the car elegantly was a caramel haired, beautiful women. I didn't ever remember meeting her, but she smiled kindly at me as our small group approached as if she had known me for years. She had a motherly look to her though she didn't appear to have the age, of course, no vampire did.

Instead sticking out her hand for me to shake, she walked towards me, meeting me half way with both arms extended, and she enveloped me in a warm hug. Yes she definitely had that motherliness about her, but no doubt she was strong enough to keep her children in line.

"Bella," she sighed and I could feel her breath on my hair. "It is an honor and a pleasure to finally meet you."

"Mrs. Cullen I feel the same way," I responded honestly.

She backed her body away from mine but her hands rested on my shoulders, holding me at arms length as her amused and kind topaz eyes looked into mine. "Heavens child! Call me Esme," she smiled.

"Alright. Esme," I agreed with a smile of my own.

Her hands dropped from my shoulders to have a different cold hand placed there. The strong scent of Edward flew into my nostrils and my stomach started to turn in knots with excitement, for some reason.

"Edward, I like her already," Esme laughed.

I felt Edward's hand be replaced by his chin and my stomach jumped even more at his closeness to me. "Me too, mom," he said towards his mom. Turning his head to me and pressing his lips to my cheek he repeated himself. "Me too…"

I could hear my breathing hitch, making me know that he could also hear it. I heard him sigh and then he started to nuzzle my neck. "Oh Bella, the things I want to do to you right now," he stated with such passion in his voice that my eyes drifted closed.

"Alright, guys, let's go," Alice said, dancing over the car, but not before saying, "It's a good thing Jasper's not here," with a giggle. Thank god I couldn't blush anymore.

The drive to the Cullen house went faster than expected, and much to my delight, I found that a speed that would have previously made me dizzy or wet myself, had no effect on me. As Carlisle drove and Esme sat in the passenger seat, Alice and Edward surrounded me in the back. We would be passing through towns and the two of them would have to hold me down if I couldn't control myself.

When we entered the small town of Forks, I could tell. The smell was over powering as we drove down the town streets and the houses and stores on each side. My eyes were shut so tight, they started to leak venom and my breaths were short and shallow coming so fast that it sounded as if I could hyperventilate, though not possible.

But I managed. I survived. Most importantly, I didn't need the restraints of Alice and Edward like the time Edward had to pin me down the first time we went out. Instead I was able to calm myself. Remember that they were humans with husbands and wives, with children and siblings. My human memories, still so fresh in my mind I think helped me get through it on my own.

In only a few minutes we were already out of the town and once again in the dense covering of the trees on either side of the road. My breathing returned to normal and I laid my head against the back of the black leather interior. No one spoke for the few moments it took to get to the Cullen house.

Or should I say mansion?

The place was huge. Crisp whit in color and three stories tall, the house looked like what you would see on a plantation, but restored. It was breathtakingly gorgeous, and that was just the outside.

My face must have showed my awe, because Edward came up beside me and his chuckled knocked me out of my reprieve.

"Like it?" he asked, his voice amused.

"Love it," I said, not tearing my eyes away from the white building as I gave it a once over yet again…a twice over.

"Oh Carlisle, she likes it!" Esme sounded quite happy about that fact. It made me wonder if anyone could ever not like it…or her for that fact.

"Yes dear, I hear," Carlisle chuckled at his wife's enthusiasm.

Esme came to my other side and grabbed my hand, excitedly. "Well come on dear, let's show you the inside!" she said, starting to tug me towards the door. In that moment I could see a little bit of Alice in her and couldn't help to internally giggle at the thought.

Edward was right. The inside was even more beautiful. Crisp and clean and perfect, just like they're family.

Standing in the front hallway were the rest of the Cullens. Emmett with that big, goofy grin of his, Rose looking amused at me, and Jasper whose eyes were trained on Alice standing slightly behind me. I stared at him the longest, trying to figure out the silent conversation they seemed to be having with their eyes. But once I was able to see the love, it was so intense, I looked away to give them their privacy.

"Bells!" Emmett exclaimed, clumping towards me and picking me up into a crushing bear hug. It was a relief to not have to breathe in a situation like that. Instead I just laughed at his enthusiasm.

When my feet touched the ground once again, Rose glided up to me, kissing me on each side of my cheek, always so poised. "Bella, you look even more stunning than before. I hope the change went well."

I smiled at my blonde friend. "Thank you Rosalie. And the change went as well as can be expected, I suppose," I laughed breathily.

She nodded her head and Jasper stepped towards me, breaking his gaze from Alice and extending his hand to me.

"Bella," he said with a smile. "Thank you."

I cocked my head to the side in confusion as I dropped my hand from his. "I'm sorry. For what?" I asked.

His gaze shifted towards Edward. "For getting Gloomy Boy here to feel like a normal person," he smiled.

I had to laugh at that. "My pleasure, Jasper," I told him, turning my head to find Edward playfully glaring at his brother.

"Sorry, brother, but all of your depression before while not enough to affect me, was a little annoying," Jasper answered with a laugh.

"Bella, do you want to go hunting?" Emmett asked his face lighting up at the thought.

Edward wrapped his arms around me from behind, but it was Alice that answered. "That sounds like a great idea. I think we could all use a little hunting." She sounded so enthusiastic, it was hard to disagree with her. Not to mention I was a little thirsty after driving through town.

Edward's breath blew across my skin as he spoke to his burly brother, "Emmett, I think you should try fighting her, she's quite talented at combat."

"Oh is she?" Emmett said incredulously as he made a motion to crack his knuckles and I had to bite back a giggle as Edward turned his face into my neck to muffle his chuckle. "Well Bella, I think it's time you and I had a little stand off. Mono y mono."

After hunting and a very discouraged, not to mention dirty Emmett, we headed home from our hunting trip. Nothing too exciting, mostly deer around these parts. But it served it's purpose and my thirst for the mean time was gone. So we headed back to the house, which I had had barely enough time to explore.

I only got a quick tour of the house and all it's rooms, but a glimpse was enough. I saw Edward's room, the only room I needed. The room we would be sharing. Alice had informed me that there previously was no bed, but after she called Rosalie, she had gone to get one for the two of us. While explaining this, Alice wiggled her eyebrows suggestively making me feel as if I could blush again.

But Edward and I being the fastest of the group, we were the first ones to run back to the house, the whole while I was laughing at the expression on Emmett's face after I had him pinned and had won our little match. Poor boy.

And I felt so free. Not having to worry about anything. And as we ran and I laughed, I turned my head to the side to find Edward smiling lovingly at me.

As soon as I hit the front porch to their lovely home, the home I would be staying at, Edward scooped me up and was up the steps and in his room with the door closed behind him in a matter of seconds.

In the next moment my back was against the soft mattress of Edward's bed, and his body pressing into mine. I smiled up at my love with a smile still on my face.

"Hi." I smiled.

He bent his head down to touch his nose to mine. "Hello, love. Did you enjoy your hunt?"

"Very much so," I answered.

"Good," he approved and moved his head down to kiss my lips. Just a small, quick kiss on the lips, until when he tried to pull his head up and away from me, and my lips wouldn't let him go.

I could feel him smile into the kiss and I leaned my head back into the pillow to look at his face which now looked a little amused.

"Is there something you wanted, love?" he asked as his elbows that he was holding himself up on, closed tighter to my body.

"You." I smiled.

He chuckled, and then dropped his head down to the skin the top of my shirt had exposed. I could feel the open mouth kisses he was placing on my skin. The tingles those kisses left in their wake and the trail of fire where his lips touched.

Pretty soon the smile that had been on my face was replaced with me biting my lip in an attempt to keep from moaning. "Edward, we can't," I whispered.

But his kisses continued down my chest as one by one, he unbuttoned my top, kissing the newly exposed skin. "Why not?"

At that precise moment we heard the others enter the house and I answered him. "They're home," it came out airy and not at all strong.

But he didn't stop.

Instead, he pushed the unbuttoned shirt away from my body and started to kiss along the edge of my pants.

"So? They did it all the time," was his reasoning.

"Edward, please," I begged. "Not now." I knew that if he continued for another moment, I would loose myself to him and we would not be able to stop. Not that that wasn't desirable, but the only time we had ever been intimate was when no one was around to hear, and I was not comfortable to do….that, in a house filled with his parents and siblings.

I felt, rather than heard the growl Edward admitted before sitting up onto his knees and staring down at me. I just laid there for a moment, trying to compose myself. Before I got up and rebuttoned my shirt.

Edward sat on the edge of the bed, his feet hanging off and I went up behind him, wrapping my arms around his shoulders.

"You know I love you," I whispered into his ear and then kissing the place next to it.

He grabbed my right hand and brought it up to his mouth, kissing my palm.

"I know, love," he said softly. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to push you," he apologized. I wanted to tell him that he wasn't pushing me at all. That if it had been anywhere other than a house filled with his family I would've been beyond willing.

"Edward, no fair! You can't keep Bella all to yourself. I want a rematch!" we heard Emmett yell up the stairs.

A giggle escaped from my lips and I could feel Edward's chest move as he chuckled. He kissed my palm one more time.

"Alright, let's have you kick his ass again."

He started to pull me towards his door and it still surprised me when I didn't trip, especially at that speed. In seconds we were downstairs with the family and found the living room furniture was all pushed to the sides of the room.

"Alright, Bella. Let's do this," Emmett said so seriously, it was comical. "….again."

There, some fluff finally. Are you glad they get to relax for a while with no Aro or Felix? I am! They are exhausting. Again, sorry for taking so long. I hated to do it, but it was hard enough to update one story, let alone two.

Much love,
