Hey, I have decided to hurry things up a bit because I just want to get it al lout the way.

I know it has gone pretty slow but it is all going to speed up! After this one we will be going at warp speed – what ever that is! Lol!

So I am going to skip a chapter I was originally planning to write.

Sorry it wasn't up sooner and that it is in fact late! Please forgive but I had this unexpected family thing and… sorry.

I also have changed the levels in the house around bit because it lets the story work better and also have changed Edwards room as bit as I don't want to copy loads of stuff out of the book.

Review after you have read please!

Bella POV

The whole family was very welcoming. I said my hellos to everyone calmly and comfortably, I knew this surprised everyone and had the pleasure of watching as there faces turned to shock for a split-second before being controlled once more. Carlisle and Edward had a moment of conference using Edward's gift and I couldn't help but feel curious about what they were talking about.

Edward directed me to the stairs and I walked over there obediently. On my way the piano, that was placed carefully in the corner next the stairs, caught my eyes. I looked over to it, wondering who of the Cullen's would take up the instrument.

"Do you play?" Edwards velvety voice, asked from behind me.

"Err, no. My musical talent comes close to that of a peanut," I told him, laughing at myself.

"Actually, I hear that peanuts are particularly good at the saxophone," Emmett's voice boomed out. I turned and smiled at him and he returned it, I caught Edward giving him a questioning look, or more of a 'what the hell?" look. He gently took hold of my hand and then led me to the piano, then seating me next to him on the stood in front of it.

I smiled at him as I realized what he was doing. He lifted his long delicate, fingers to the keys and began to play. The sound that erupted from the grand piano was of none I had ever heard before. The sound was strong, yet at the same time soft. It was fast but at the same time slow. All these different contrasts made it lift the air and put everything in the room on end. The only thing that could compare to the beauty of the piece was Edward.

After a while the notes began to drift into a sad close and on the last note I felt a soft tear trickle down my cheek. I looked up to see Edwards's eyes on me, a look of worry.

"That was beautiful," I told him, my voice barely above a whisper.

"Of course, as the person who inspired it is also beautiful," he replied, brushing the tear off my cheek. I blushed at this and looked back round to the rest of the room only to come up short.

"Where did your family go?" I asked.

"I think the idea was to give us some privacy," his voice was thick with amusement. Before I could ask more he interrupted me with a question. "Would you like to see the rest of the house?"

I nodded and then let Edward lead me up away from the piano. He led me around the floors one by one. First the ground with the kitchen, which was never used, and the living and dining room. The first floor had Rosalie and Emmett, and also Alice and jaspers room. The second floor had Carlisle and Esme's and a spare room. The top floor had two rooms, like all the other floors, and these were Carlisle's study and Edwards's room.

Now I was very intrigued as to see what Edwards's room was like but before we went to his, we headed towards the study. We entered it through a huge oak door and came into a massive room. It was like a library with books reaching to the ceiling on both the left and right side of the room. The wall facing the door had huge window that also reached high and placed in front of it was a mahogany desk. At that desk was Carlisle, he was reading out of a thick book when we entered and looked up at us with a wide grin.

"I'm just showing Bella around the house," Edward explained, though I am perfectly sure Carlisle already understood that.

"Well, don't let me get in the way," Carlisle told us. I was aware that the only reason he was talking out loud was for my benefit.

"No, not at all," Edward defended. "But I was hoping you would tell Bella about the paintings."

"But son, you know it as well as I do. Why don't you go ahead, I need to head down to the hospital now anyway," Carlisle closed the book gently and stood, then in one swift moment headed out the door.

Edward began to explain to me about how Carlisle came over his newborn hunger, about attempting to kill himself. Then he mentioned the Volturi and that Carlisle had stayed there for a while. I looked at him in interest.

"The Volturi are-" he began, and that's when I made a mistake of interrupting him.

"I know. There, if you like, the royal family of the vampire world," I told him, completely unaware of my mistake. I looked back the wall of paintings and saw Edward frown at me.

"How do you know that?" I froze in place, unsure as to how to answer. Edward noticed my reaction with interest, asking me if I was ok.

"Yeah, fine." I had never been good at making stuff up on the spot, and, like I had said earlier, lying in general. I mustered up all my self-control, concentrated on keeping my heart rate the same, something I had picked up when moved to the Volturi as I knew that they had super sensitive hearing, making lying that much harder as when you lie your heart beat picks up. I never tended to us this skill as vampires could usually tell when I was lying anyway. "My mom told me about them. A friend of hers had a bit of trouble with them a few years back," I said in a light tone.

Edward looked at me at a side angle, I wasn't quite sure whether he believed me or not.

"Does your mom have a coven?" he asked in a polite tone. He could see my past and mom was an edgy subject and so was trying to be sentimental, even if didn't understand why.

"Err…." I thought that it would be better if I told him half of the truth. "Yeah, there are 4 of them," I said. I knew that it was a pretty large amount for a coven, but I thought that I was better to say more then less, just incase one of them contacted me.

"Really?" Edward said in interest.

"Anyway, you were saying?" I asked, trying to change the subject. I knew Edward saw this but he made no comment, which I was grateful for. I hated having to lie to him. He explained how Carlisle had got together his coven, and I was very intrigued by this. I could see that Carlisle was good hearted and that made me smile, knowing Edward had such a loving father. Edward led me out of the room and we walked, arm in arm, down to his room.

He started to explain how, at one point, he had left his family. I really felt for him as he told me about his difficult times and wasn't shocked when he told me what he did. He looked at me with loving eyes as I accepted him so easily, making my heart melt and reflect his expression.

He flashed a crocked grin, making me blush, and then led me into his room. I glanced around it with a grin; it was just how I expected it to be. There was a black sofa in the corner, one wall was covered from head to foot with endless CD's, there was a soft, beige carpet and a very fancy pair of speakers attached to a CD's player. There was a small table to the side and of a glass wall that looked out onto the forest bellow, and next to that was a bookshelf with a pretty large amount of books.

I let go of Edward and walked into the middle of the room, where I stood and looked around my surroundings. I them glanced back at the door where Edward was still stood with a nervous expression and I flashed a cheeky grin. "You don't have much of a social life, do you?" for a split second he look rather taken back until he realized I was only kidding and smiled in return.

I walked over to his collection of music to see what he had, and realized it was about the same stuff I had on my IPod. Interested, I pressed play on the stereo and smiled when my favorite song came on. 'Clair de Lune' played calmly out and I faced Edward. He looked back at me, and then smiled slightly. He walked over to me and took my hands and tried to spin me. He was trying to dance with me! Now this would have been incredibly romantic if it wasn't me, but, as we know, I have two left feet. I shuffled uneasily and Edward frowned at me, questioning what I was doing and also panicking about if he had done the wrong thing. I let my hand drop from his and in an embarrassed voice said, "I can't dance."

He gave me an amused looked and pulled me towards him. His eyes looked playful. I had seen that look man times on a vampire and it always resulted in my getting hurt and my mom having to jump in and save me. Of course I wasn't in the slightest scared of Edward, I was in fact intrigued as to what he was thinking. He leaned down to my ear and whispered, "I could always make you."

"I'm not scared of you," I whispered back.

"Wrong answer," he muttered smugness in his voice. He took a step back away from me and crouched like a cat ready to jump. I stepped back, surprised as to what he was about to do.

"You wouldn't dare," I told him, narrowing my eyes. But I was wrong. He leaped at me and we both went flying over to the couch, landing with me lying on top of him with his arm like a vice around my waist.

"You were saying?" he asked casually, the glint still very much visible in his eyes.

"You're a very scary monster," I said, the sarcasm heavy in my voice.

"Better," he announced, smiling widely. I smiled back at him.

"Err… can I get up now?" just as I said this there was a gentle knock on the door. Edward looked up at it and in one quick moment had me on his lap, still held tightly in his arms. I looked at him with a 'what are you up to' look. He just shrugged and told who ever were behind the door to enter.

Edwards POV

I sat up with Bella still held tightly in my grasp. I sat her on my lap like a child and she gave me a 'what are you up to look' and I just shrugged, and then shouted for Alice and Jasper to come in. Usually they would just walk in, but as Bella was here they decided to wait outside, not wanting to interrupt us.

Alice walked in and Jasper waited by the door, not wanting to be engulfed by Bella's smell that now was all over the room.

"There is going to be a storm tomorrow evening and we are going to go and play baseball. Edward, are you game?" Alice asked. Bella smiled and looked down as Alice used the same phrase as she did in the meadow and an amused smile came onto her face. I smiled at her and I heard Jasper questioning in his head. He had never seen so much emotion coming off of me at one time, not when I was playing on my piano or when I had come home, but that was only because he had never really been around me when I was with Bella. I could see it all from his point of view and suddenly realized how distraught and unemotional I had been before Bella. She real has saved me; she was savior, my angel.

"Yeah. Bella, what about you?" I asked, putting her on the spot.

"Umm… sure, why not?" she answered, and I smiled at her.

"Great," Alice announced. "Bella, you might want to be getting home now. It is pretty late and Charlie is waiting for you."

"Oh, of course. Thank you Alice," she said in realization. Alice and jasper left to go down stairs and Bella jumped off my lap. "Come on then." she held her hand out to me. I stood up, ignored her hand and put my hand around her waist.

We walked together down to the living room and Bella said her goodbyes.

As we drove away in Alice's car I heard Esme's rejoices that I had found the mate, and I, myself, rejoiced with her.
