Previously

I heard the door open and close and my vision was then assaulted by the most breathtaking person I've ever see, my Edward. The second our eyes met I just couldn't look away.

"Everyone, meet Bella Swan, Edward's mate," Alice announced.

Bella POV

Silence.

Everyone was frozen in their seats, shocked beyond belief at Alice's words. Who would have guessed, that six little words could freeze my vampires?

Edward, frozen as well, was every bit of what I dreamt to be. Breathtaking. "Isabella," Edward gasped as if seeing a ghost.

"You're here," he moved before me, cupping my face. "You're really here."

Unable to speak, I nodded. Did he know me already? He's acting like I came back from the dead.

Remembering my dream, I thought of what Edward had told me.

"Vampires only mate once and it's for life. There is this instant connection that happens. Love at first sight some call it. Other species call it imprinting. We call it 'anima cantante' or soul singer. It means that your souls sing to each other, like a soul mate... I won't know you but I'll know your soul."

But this was different, like he knew me as I know him.

"I'm here," I whispered.

"Bella," he whispered and leaned in to brush his lips against mine. The way a lover would. He knows me, the realization made me happy beyond belief.

I think everyone was shocked at the performance happening right in front of them. Even I, who was aware of our bond, was shocked at his kiss. But as fast as the shock came, it left, and I found myself kissing him back with earnest.

"Edward," I whispered into his mouth and he held me tighter.

"I used to dream about you," he said between kisses.

"I dream of you," I said in reply, "every night."

"Ninety-two," he said. "Ninety-two years I've waited for you. I knew you'd come."

He held onto me, my arms around his waist, laying soft kisses on my hair.

So many emotions were surging through me and to be honest, it was all a little overwhelming. But the one emotion that over shadowed them all was utter elation.

"I am so lost," said Emmett.

His interruption reminded me of our audience.

"Shut up, you're ruining the moment," scolded Alice.

"She's human, Alice," hissed Rosalie. Okay, I guessed she would have a hard time with this.

"That doesn't change a thing," Ali hissed back.

"But humans are different," pushed Rose. "She probably can't even feel the bond, and is just using him."

"God, Rose, you are such a bitch," said Alice. "And for your information you're very wrong on all things Bella."

Edward started to growl. Tilting my head up I saw him glancing at Rosalie, she must have been thinking something terrible.

"Rosalie, she is my mate, and you will treat her as such. And if you even think of killing her again, I will rip you to pieces," hissed Edward.

"Jasper," Carlisle called. "Thank you." I felt all the anger in the room wash away.

"Okay, let us sit down and work this out like rational beings," stated Carlisle.

Looking to Rose, he said, "Edward is right. Bella is his mate and you must at least be civil towards her."

Rose hissed, "How can you take their side?"

"Sit down!" he yelled, Carlisle was furious.

"Now," he said more calmly, probably with help from Jasper.

"You two seem to know what's going on, perhaps you would care to explain," he said looking to us.

"I don't know where to start," I said.

"Well, why don't you tell us why you came here today," prompted Carlisle. Everyone was quite awaiting my reply.

"I missed him, and needed to see him. I missed all of you too," I said.

"How did you miss us if you don't know us," snubbed Rose.

"But I do know you," I insisted.

"How?"

"I have dreams, I guess they are like Alice's visions," I told them.

"And they were about us?" asked Esme.

"Well yes, but other things, too," I replied.

"So they are omniscient?"

"Sometimes," I explained. "It's not play-by-play like Alice's visions. It's more dream-like."

"So you dreamt that you would meet us, and you learnt of our nature through your dreams?" asked Carlisle.

"Yes-"

"This is so much bull-"

"Do not finish that sentence Rosalie Hale," scolded Esme.

"Sorry, Mom," if looks could kill, I would surely be dead by now with the way she's looking at me.

"I guess everything started when my step-dad went on the road," I explained. "My mom stayed home with me but I knew it made her unhappy, so I figured I would spend some time with Charlie, my dad. You see, I had been having dreams of Forks for a while and I figured that my subconscious was trying to tell me something; like maybe I should spend time with my dad and get to know him. So that night I made up my mind and told Renee I wanted to move. It took some convincing but she finally agreed.

"After that night I started having dreams of Edward. In my dreams he told me about himself, and what he is. He told me about his past. And his family. In one dream he took me to meet all of you.

"It's actually very similar to now, but you already knew of me; so, you weren't caught off guard, like today.

Then, after that dream, I started to dream about all of you. Alice is, or will be, my best friend; Edward, my mate; Emmy and Jazzy, my brothers; Carlisle and Esme, my parents."

Looking to Rose, I told her, " Even you, Rose, I think of my sister. We will get along eventually; I understand why you're afraid and why you don't like me. But I need you to understand that I would rather die than betray any of you. And I do feel the bond between me and Edward; I love him very much. And I know your feelings towards this life and I need to tell you that I'm not giving anything up. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Love, family, that makes everything worth it. Without it life would not be worth living."

As I spoke I could see her shell crack, slowly the hard facade melted away and sadness replaced her features.

"And what of children and growing old?" she asked.

"I never wanted children, and growing old is only good if you have someone to grow old with," I replied.

"I understand," she said. "I don't like it, but I understand."

I was happy, that didn't take half as long as I thought it would. We would be friends soon and sisters in the future. I didn't need Alice to tell me that.

Looking up to Edward, I smiled.

"I love you," he said, smiling back.

"As I love you."

Edward turned his head to Carlisle, as if he were called. Thinking of his gift, he probably was.

"When I was human I used to dream of Bella; ever since I can remember," he told us. "And I fell in love with Bella. Out of everything I've forgotten because of my change, Bella is the one thing I remember the most." He smiled at me and squeezed my hand.

"That's why all of my match-making skills went to waste," Esme joshed, "because you've been in love with Bella all along."

"This is awesome! I get a new sister!" shouted Emmett, pumping his fist in the air. "And that means I'm not the youngest anymore. This day just gets better and better!"

Rose stopped his ranting with a slap to the back of his head.

"Baby, what was that for?" he whined.

"You're being an idiot," she muttered under her breath.

"Welcome to the family, Bella," Carlisle said.

"Yes, welcome, my daughter," Esme got up to hug me.

"Thank you," my emotions were almost haywire.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh Bella!" yelled the pixie, bouncing up and down.

"Jasper, control your wife," said Edward.

"We need to go shopping. You need school clothes and we're running out of time!" She reminded me of the little boy I used to babysit in the summer. One day he had a couple dozen pixie sticks and was bouncing off the walls the rest of the day.

"You mean, you saw me coming and didn't buy me clothes in advance?" I crossed my arms and stared her down.

"Ummm, well I... no... I mean... yes... but I didn't finish, you need more. And your closet is hideous! You don't even own pants; all you have are jeans and tees. So not acceptable-" she was ranting. God, help me!

"ALICE!

Yes, I will go... but we have the weekend so can we go tomorrow or next week or never..." I said, rubbing my temples. I felt a rush of serenity, thank you Jasper.

"Tomorrow! Oh, we are going to have so much fun. Just you wait and see. Come on Jazz," she left in a flash. Thankfully, Jasper's like vampire Ritalin.

"I hope you know what you're getting yourself into, love," Edward said, nuzzling my neck.

Sigh.

"I hope I survive, I hate shopping," I yawned.

"Are you tired, it is still early?" he asked.

I nodded and lay my head on his shoulder, "Yes, I guess I was a little anxious to find you."

"Well now that you found me, how about you take a nap with me?"

"You don't sleep?"

"Okay, I meant you nap while I lay down with you."

"Sounds good, whisk me away," I said and was already half way up the stairs.

"Well this explains why Alice bought me a bed last week," he chuckled as he laid me down on the bed from my dreams.

"Princess and the Pea," I murmured aloud.

"Yes, it is a bit high. What are you thinking, I can't hear your thoughts?" he asked, brushing a strand of hair away from my face.

"I was remembering one of my dreams, this is the same bed," I blushed at my confession.

I could see his eyes darken at my blush only causing it to worsen. Using the back of his index finger he brushed my cheek.

"Why are you blushing?"

My breath caught. How do I tell him? Well, you see, after Alice sexed me up, I was in your bed reading a smutty romance novel while waiting for you to come back from hunting, and you caught me masturbating. Then proceeded to finish for me. Too early?

"Uh..."

"Blushing because of your dream, Bella?" That crooked smile of his is going to kill me one day.

He chuckled…'so cocky', I thought. Then it dawned on me…he knows.

"Edward?"

"Sorry, my love, I should not tease you," he laughed to himself and kissed my forehead. There I lay blissfully in the arms of the love of my life. Never before had I been so content, or so happy.

A/N: For those of you who remember the story…I changed chapter three a bit. I finally decided to extend this story. Thank you for reading and please review.
