Disclaimer: I own nothing, I simply like to play with Edward :P
Hey sorry its been agessssssssss jut had a rough few weeks!
Ive just been to see new moon and it is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I adore it anyway enjoy and don't forget to review that make me happy
The sound of a car pulling onto Charlie's drive set my heart off.
Renee was coming to visit for the weekend and somehow Edward and I were going to announce our engagement.
My Greek god was next to me on the couch, his right arm slung casually across my shoulders. His left hand gently traced the curve of my face as he heard my heart jump and I looked up at him smiling. I was nervous as hell to tell my mother I was getting married but telling Charlie had given me the boost of confidence that I needed and I knew that no matter what my mom's reaction I would be walking down the isle to Edward after graduation.
I extracted myself from Edwards arms when Renee knocked on the door and he followed me out to answer it. My mom was standing in the doorway, a nervous smile gracing her face. It was obvious to see that she felt uncomfortable being back in forks.
"Mom!" I shouted when I saw her and I hugged her tight.
"Hi Bella hunni" She said hugging me back
"Hello Renee" I heard Edward say behind me and I felt Renee stiffen in my arms. I hugged her tighter and whispered even though Edward would hear,
"Mom, be nice, I love him and I need him, he isn't going anywhere"
She pulled back to look at me, questions written all over her face. It was now or never. I stepped out of her embrace and straight into Edwards strong arms.
I took a deep breath and faced Renee head on
"Were getting married mom" That was when she fainted.
Edward caught her before she hit the floor and carried her into the living room to lie her on the couch.
"Well I wasn't expecting that" I said quietly as I stood with Edward waiting for her to come around
"Me either but don't worry, I think Renee will have a better reaction than Charlie" I eyed him suspiciously
"How do you know that?"
"I don't know for certain but I have a feeling that Renee's going to surprise you.
Stupid mind reading vampire.
Edwards phone rang in his pocket and he flipped it up before the second ring.
"Hello Alice" he said brightly and paused for a second to listen to her "Ok thank you Alice, bye" He turned to me when he hung up,
"She'll be awake in 3.6 minutes" I smiled and wrapped my arms around his waist, resting my head on his chest,
"I love you" I whispered He grinned his crooked smile at me,
"And I love you too" He told me before bending down and pressing his lips to mine.
And that was how Renee saw us when she awoke,
"Bella?" she asked and I broke apart from Edward quickly.
"O-oh m-mom sorry" I said as I was still gasping for breath.
"Bella was I just dreaming or did you say that you and Edward were getting married?" Again I took a deep breath
"You weren't dreaming mom" Edward squeezed my hand as I wanted for her reaction,
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!, Bella! That's amazing!! Congratulations baby"
"E-erm what! I thought you were going to go mad!"
"Oh Bella baby of course it's rushed and with what happened last September.." – I cringed – "I'm worried but hunni I can't look at the two of you without seeing that your perfect for each other. Your like two halves of a whole nothing I can say will stop you. And besides every time I've sneered at early marriage I was talking about me and the mistakes I've made. Bella you were never me and you never will be. You and Edward have more chance of making this work than anyone I've ever met before." She turned to look at Edward now "Though of course if you ever hurt her, if you harm my baby girl I'll kill you myself"
Edward smiled
"And I'll gladly let you Renee, thought that day will never come Bella's my life and I'll never make such a stupid mistake again."
Renee grinned at Edward and then pulled us both into a hug.
That night Edward and I took Renee to meet the Cullens.
Edward pulled up in the Volvo where me and Renee waited on Charlie's porch.
"Wow Bella, nice car" I stared at my mother, she never spoke car and driver either. She saw my sceptical look and chuckled "all I meant was that has to cost some money" I smiled to myself
"Just wait until you see the house" I said
"Hello love" Edward said as he met us on the steps. I grinned at him and stood on my tiptoes to give him a small kiss. "Are you ready"
"Yup" I said popping the p.
Always the gentleman Edward opened the back door for me before opening the passenger side for Renee. She looked highly impressed as she slid into the front seat. The drive to the Cullen house was silent thought not uncomfortable. Edward kept to a decent speed which I could tell was paining him and he would constantly glance back at me and dazzle me with the crooked grin.
Renee's reaction to the house was as I expected, as soon as the beautiful white house came into view she gasped.
"oh my! Edward your house is magnificent!"
"Thank you my mother designed it"
"Oh wow, she had exquisite taste"
"Wow mom big word" I said and she laughed along with me
Edward stopped the car and opened our doors again. Renee smiled to herself and Edward's lips turned up at the corners. Oh to be a mind reader!
Edward took my hand and the three of us walked up to the house. Edward opened the door and led us into the open living room where the family where gathered. The were trying to keep us the human charade. Emmet and Jasper were on the games console. Alice and Rosalie were on one of the love seats looking through a bunch of what suspiciously looked like bridal magazines. I glared at them and they grinned back which made me smile. Esme was drawing what looked like blue prints for a house and Carlisle was reading a huge book that looked like a medical journal.
Edward pretended to clear his throat and got everyone's attention
"Everyone I'd like to introduce you to Renee, Bella's mother of course"
Carlisle stood up and took Renee' hand placing a kiss on the back of it
"Renee how lovely to see you again and under better circumstances than the last time of course" Renee blushed and giggled like 15 year old school girl.
"It's lovely to see you to Dr Cullen"
"Please call me Carlisle" Renee blushed again. I guess I know who I get it from. "May I introduce you to my wife, Esme.
Esme walked forward and hugged Renee softly
"Welcome to our home Renee"
"Thank you Esme, your have an absolutely beautiful home. It's just incredible"
"Thank you so much. I'll take you on a tour later" Renee smiled at Esme and I could tell instantly that we didn't need to worry about the in-laws getting along. Renee loved Esme. Not that anybody wouldn't except maybe the wolves.
Emmet was next to be introduced. He followed Carlisle's example and kissed the back of her hand. Renee was almost swooning by the time He had finished. Jasper of course had already met Renee and so he pulled her in for a quick hug.
Alice being Alice bounced over to Renee and pulled her into a huge hug as though they had know each other all their lives. It made me smile to see Renee hug her back just as hard
"Hello Alice dear how are you?"
"I'm fabulous Renee I'm so happy you're here. We have so much I want to ask you about the wedding. Bella of course won't decide anything" I glared at Alice.
"Sorry Bella but you know it's true" I shrugged my shoulders which made everyone laugh and so I buried my head into Edward chest. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer, kissing the top of my head.
Finally Rosalie was introduced. She pulled Renee in for a soft hug as well. Renee so much like me seemed nervous at first but hugged Rosalie back and was smiling when they broke away.
Edward and I settled on one of the love seats while Alice and Jasper took another. Esme, Carlisle and Renee were on the couch and Emmet sat on the floor before pulling Rosalie into his lap.
Esme offered Renee a drink and something to eat which she accepted. Esme bounced off to the kitchen glad to have someone else to serve.
"So Renee, how's Phil and life in Florida?" Carlisle asked.
Renee told us all about Phil's first win of the season and about how they were re-decorating the living room. Esme of course offered to help design it as she walked back into the living room with a tray of coffee and biscuits. Renee accepted her help gratefully.
When Renee had finished her drink Esme led her on a tour of the house, Edward and I followed after holding hands while Esme explained each room and how it was designed.
We reached the third floor and Edwards room. Edward pulled me forward so that he could open the door for Renee, Esme and myself. We walked into Edwards room and at the same time as Renee I gasped. Edwards room had changed. The leather couch had been pushed up against the wall and in the middle of the room was a huge wrought iron bed. Iron roses covered the canopy over it and they twisted on vines down the 4 supporting poles.
"Wow, Edward this is beautiful. Everywhere else is of course but wow that bed! Its magnificent, it must have cost a fortune!"
"Thank you Renee, its new thanks to Alice's shopping addiction"
I chuckled and Edward smiled down at me swooping quickly to kiss my neck and whisper in my ear
"Especially for us my love" I grinned at him as he stood straight and his crooked grin graced his face.
I looked over at Renee and she smiled at me.
"Come on Renee lets go and leave these 2 alone" Esme said smiling at us.
"Alone?" Renee questioned "you leave them alone in his room?" shock was clear in her voice,
"Of course Renee, I trust Edward and Bella completely their sensible and wont do anything to disrespect my house" Edward smirked and I scowled while flushing red. Of course we wouldn't do anything, we couldn't. Edward and his boundaries stopped anything going to far.
I could feel tears welling up in my eyes and excused myself to the bathroom. Edward looked at me confused as I walked into his bathroom, I tried to smile at him but just couldn't quite manage it.
I closed the door and lent back against it. Obviously Edward had read my feelings from Jaspers mind but he couldn't read why I felt so rejected and upset. Struggling not to sob I sank to the floor and wrapped my arms around my legs.
A few minutes later a soft knock sounded on the door.
"Bella, are you ok?" Edwards velvet voice came through the door and that was all it took for the dam I had built to come tumbling down. A loud sob broke from my chest and caused tears to fall from my eyes.
"Bella! Please open the door!" he sounded so desperate, so full of pain, so panicked that I had to jump up, fling the door open and run into his arms. He caught me and in the same movement scooped me into his arms and carried me to the bed, all this while I was still sobbing.
I curled into Edward lap and clutched his t-shirt sobs racking my body. He shushed me and rubbed calm soothing circles on my back, rocking me gently. Once I had calmed down he moved us so that we were laying next to each other with his arm lay across my waist. I wiped my eyes on my sleeve and looked at Edward his face showed so much concern and so much love that it made me want to cry again. But I stopped myself and instead tried to smooth the crease in the middle of his forehead.
"Where did Renee go?" I whispered quietly
"Esme and Carlisle took her to look at wallpaper and things for her living room and everyone else went hunting. We're alone. Bella, what was that? Please tell me what the matter is. I cant stand you hurting!!"
I couldn't decide what to say. Obviously we were going to have to have this talk, we were getting married, we needed to talk about everything and anything with each other and why not start now? We were alone – something that didn't happen often enough – there was no reason not to do this now. I took a deep breath and looked into his golden eyes.
"What Renee said got to me"
"Because she doesn't trust us?" he questioned. I shook my head and took another breath
"Edward I want to do something, well try something and I know your not going to like it and it probably wont happen but I need you to know and I need it to me out there"
"Bella you know ill give you anything, just name it love"
"Not this Edward and I know why and I understand but I don't believe that you would hurt me and I think it could work, in fact I have complete faith that it would be nothing but incredible."
He went to speak but I put my finger on his lips to stop him.
"E-Edward, I-I want to try…s-s-sleeping together"
There you are hope you liked it
