" Who is at the door Edward?" Elizabeth Masen asked
" I don't know Mother, they haven't said what they wanted" Little Edward said
Elizabeth went up to the door, " May we help you?"
Edward gasped
Bella tightened her hold on Edward's arm
" Are you alright sir?" Elizabeth asked
Edward nodded, " I... I'm fine"
" Hmm, you look a little pale... why don't you two come in and have some supper" Elizabeth said
" No really, I'm fine, we're fine... we shouldn't have come... I'm sorry for bothering you" Edward said
" No, no, no" Elizabeth said, " You are not bothering us, just come on inside"
Elizabeth began pulling on Edward's arm and brought them both in
Edward Sr. Got up from his chair and greeted his guests
" My name is Edward Masen, this is my wife Elizabeth and our son Edward Jr." Edward Sr. said standing up and shaking a nervous Edward's hand
" And who might you be?" Edward Sr. asked when Edward didn't say anything
Bella knew Edward wasn't going to say anything so she said, " This is Edward Cullen, and I'm his wife Isabella Cullen"
" Nice to meet you" Edward Sr. said, he was looking at Edward funnily, " Have we met?"
Edward looked worried, he shouldn't be here
" Maybe you should sit down son" Edward Sr. said, " You look kind of pale"
The Masens brought them over to the dining room table and Elizabeth had their cook dish some supper up for them
Once everybody began eating, except for Edward, Elizabeth asked, " So, where are you two from and where are you heading?"
" Oh... we are from Forks Washington, we just recently survived Titanic and we saved a little boy from death, we found the rest of his family and we returned him to them" Bella said a little nervously
The Masens gasped
" That was a very noble thing you did" Elizabeth said, " Sir, why are you not eating?" Elizabeth noticed that Edward wasn't eating and he was just staring at her and the rest of her family
Bella nudged Edward to say something
" What? Oh sorry... I was just... lost in thought" Edward said embarrassed
" Yes it looked like it" Elizabeth said, " Is something on your mind?"
Edward looked down and nodded
" We have met haven't we?" Edward Sr. asked
Edward just looked at his father
" You look so familiar" Edward Sr. said then he looked at his son who wasn't eating, he was busy staring at Bella, " Edward eat"
Little Edward looked at his father and said, " Yes sir"
Little Edward was still looking at Bella
Both Elizabeth and Edward Sr. started looking from their son to Edward Cullen, the similarities were astonishing
Everybody was quiet until supper was over, Elizabeth tried to get Edward to eat but nothing worked
" I'm not trying to be rude mo... mam, I'm just... not very hungry" Edward said, he almost slipped and called his mother, well... mother
All of the Masens noticed the slip
" Why would this gentleman call me mother?" Elizabeth thought to herself
" Isabella, you're very pretty and smell pretty, you smell like Freesias... Edward Cullen, you're lucky to have a wife like her" Little Edward said excitedly
Bella smiled and blushed, she was wearing freesia scented perfume
That made Edward chuckle and he looked at his girlfriend
" Edward do not be so forward" Elizabeth scolded then she turned to her guests, " I'm sorry about my son, his mouth can run away with him sometimes"
" It's ok Mrs. Masen" Bella said then she looked at Little Edward, " You are a very sweet boy, thank you for that compliment, has anybody told you how handsome you are... I bet you dazzle all of the girls you look at you"
Edward smirked at that
Little Edward shook his head no, " I don't like girls"
Bella smiled, " Really? Pitty, I could easily fall for someone just like you"
That made Little Edward blush and have his parents chuckle
Edward leaned down and whispered, " Are you trying to make me jealous of my past self?"
Bella looked up and smiled, " Maybe"
Edward chuckled
After that, everybody retired into the living room
" Edward it's time for your piano lesson" Elizabeth said
Little Edward groaned, " Do I have to?"
" Do as your mother says young man" Edward Sr. said a little sternly
" Yes sir" Little Edward said and he headed over to the piano
" He is very talented for his age, I just wish he liked it" Elizabeth said with a sigh
" I'm... I'm sure he'll start to like playing the piano real soon once he can start playing songs" Edward said
They listened to Little Edward practice on the piano for a while
" Where are you two staying for the night?" Edward Sr. asked once Little Edward was done
Edward shrugged, " We will find a motel sir"
" Nonsense, you will stay the night here, we have the extra room" Elizabeth said
" We do not want to impose" Edward said
" Nonsense" Elizabeth said
" Now hold on Elizabeth, lets talk about this" Edward Sr. said, " We do not know these two"
" Are you sure?" Elizabeth asked, " Edward Cullen looks like he could be related to your family, look at the resemblance between him and our little Edward... it would make sense that they knocked on our door"
Edward Sr. looked at Edward and his son then back at Edward again, " I do not have any relatives by the name of Cullen"
" Nor do I" Elizabeth said, " I just feel... I just feel that we know him from somewhere"
" Are you ok?" Bella whispered
" We need to get out of here... or I'm going to blow our cover, this is... too much" Edward said and he looked pained
" I'm sorry, we shouldn't have come" Bella said ashamed
" No, don't be ashamed, I'm glad we did it's just..." Edward trailed off
Bella nodded, " Um, Mr. and Mrs. Masen"
They looked at Bella from their conversation
" Sorry to interrupt, but we really should be going... Edward... he's not... he's not feeling too well" Bella said
Elizabeth looked alarmed and hurried over to Edward and felt his forehead
" You feel cold... that's it, you should be in bed young man" Elizabeth said
" I'm fine Mrs. Masen, my wife and I will just be on our way" Edward said getting up
" No, you two are staying here for the night, now I want you upstairs in our guest bedroom" Elizabeth said in a motherly tone
Edward was about to argue
" No arguing, march young man" Elizabeth commanded in the same tone
Edward closed his mouth, " Yes mam"
Elizabeth led Edward and Bella to their guest bedroom
Elizabeth showed them the bedroom, and the nearest bathroom
" If you need us, our room is just down the hall right there" Elizabeth said pointing
Edward and Bella nodded
" Now then, I want you sir, in the bathtub then into warm pajamas and in bed in one hour" Elizabeth said
" But I'm not..." Edward started
" And I'm going to make sure you do stay healthy, now do as I say" Elizabeth said firmly
Edward sighed, " Yes mam"
Elizabeth smiled, " I will have my housekeeper bring you two something up to wear to bed... goodnight"
" Goodnight" Edward and Bella said
Elizabeth left the room
" Well, your parents seem... nice" Bella said, " I'm surprised they let us in like that"
Edward nodded, " My mother likes to mother everybody who is younger than her... my father... he doesn't trust so easily... he's taking inventory of everything they own as we speak... he's then going to have... Little me sleep in their bedroom"
They both took turns taking baths and both got pajamas on and with Elizabeth's insistence, they both went to bed
Edward sighed, " It's good to be home"
Bella smiled
