I gasped, everyone was in our living room, and I mean everyone. My aunt stood beside Rose and Emmett, who had to be the most gorgeous couple on earth by the way. Their beauty burnt my eyes, I had to look away. I spotted Edward smiling at me, and I smiled back. I wanted to run and jump into his arms- but my parents were walking towards us.

Wait- my parents were here.

Oh that's always good.

I haven't even mentioned Edward too them- and I'm promised to marry him for crying out loud!

"Alice, Bella!" Renee- my mom, greeted.

"Mom," I faked enthusiasm. How was I going to tell her- and Phil was right beside her too.

"Oh darlings, how are you two. Alice you've grown so much!" It's been 6 months since she's seen her- and I'm pretty sure Alice has stopped growing. "You're hair looks so different, did you change it…?

I completely blocked her out- figuring out how I should tell her. Should I just say it, right now? Should I go get Edward and introduce them- and then tell them? No… it's not right. I need more time, maybe a couple months. I'll explain right now that Edward and I are dating- which is completely true, then in a couple months from now I'll give my mom the good news! It's absolutely brilliant!

Now, where's Edward?

I glanced around the room, and to my dismay, Charlie was here. Now I'd have to fake it in front of Charlie too.

Wait another minute-

What if Edward already told him? What if everyone knew?

"Bella, Bella honey are you listening?"

I was snapped back to my mothers focus.

"I said congratulations! It would have been nice if you told us about Edward- but he's very nice. I'm happy with your decision." She smiled, and whispered in my ear, "He's pretty good looking too."

"Ha-ha," Okay, she knows. So that's what this congrats must be all about. Edward and I… Aw, that was so sweet of whoever did this. I bet it was Alice.

I glanced to my left where Alice stood, smiling at me.

"Did you do this?" I asked her.

"Yes." She smiled and hugged me. "I hope it was okay."

"It's awesome!" I commented. "When did you tell my mom and Charlie?" I asked.

"When you left for Paris," She smiled.

"Alice, he didn't even propose to me then…"

"I mean, I told them about you and Edward- being in a relationship. You know it kind of reminded me of when I was a teenager, running off somewhere with a boy. Of course that somewhere wasn't Paris, unfortunately."

I laughed, and hugged her again. "Thanks Alice."

"Anytime," She smiled and her gaze shifted to Jasper who was chatting with Edward.

"I'm coming with you- I can't face Charlie yet." She chuckled at me, as we walked to join the two.

"Hey beautiful," Jasper nuzzled his nose into her hair. She giggled and wrapped her arms around his waist, looking up at him.

"How are you?" I asked Edward as he took a sip of beer.

"I'm good. You're parents are very nice, it's a shame I haven't met them earlier. Charlie is quite the joker." He smiled and squeezed my shoulder.

Oh god, what did Charlie say to him.

Great…

"What did Charlie say?" Please not be some old embarrassing memory from my childhood.

"He wanted to know if I wanted to go hunting- and then started to talk about all the guns he has. He's quite proud of them." He smiled, chuckling to himself.

"Thanks dad." I muttered.

"Oh Bella, he's just being a dad. He's trying to protect you, which he did quite a good job. If I didn't love you as much as I do, I'd be out that door in a matter of seconds." He placed a kiss on top of my head.

I smiled, "I'm glad you love me." His hand rubbed circles on my back, "because I love you just as much."

He kissed my cheek and my hand reached over for a bottle of water.

"I've been thinking," we began to walk around the apartment, walking by family members and friends, "what do you feel about moving in with me?"

I smiled a big goofy grin. "I'd love that."

He wrapped his arm around my waist and we walked over to a couple of work colleagues. We chatted a bit, but I wasn't totally animated in the conversation. My mind was elsewhere- jumping up and down in excitement and happiness. I'm finally moving in with Edward. I loved the thought of that, him and I shopping around for our first television set. Or we'd make our first trip to the grocery store officially. That first time doesn't count, although it was pretty amazing. That was the day he asked me to Paris- the day that led my life to change forever in the most amazing way possible.
