2000s
"Since I can no longer properly read in silence I suppose I'll have to meet your coven now, Carlisle." Bella said in an annoyed voice. Jasper was still growling at her, but it was now almost just a hum.
"We're a family here, Bella." Carlisle said as he smiled at Esme who had just joined them. Bella scoffed. "I see your eye color has changed. Are you thinking of converting to my diet?" He asked hopefully.
"Of course not! I've merely not had enough time to feed as I would wish to, so I partook in lesser meals." She glanced at Esme with a smile. "Is this lovely girl your mate?" Esme was a bit taken aback at being called a girl, but grinned none the less.
"Yes, Esme is my wife and my mate." Bella got out of the seat to greet Esme.
"I'm glad you two found each other! And have such a big 'family'. Aro must be having an ulcer worrying about your great numbers. Ah, that reminds me, Carlisle, how did you like your time with the Volturi?"
"It was both informative and enjoyable." Carlisle said.
"Just as I hoped then." Carlisle introduced the rest of his family to her, and she gave them all smiles. "With that annoying ritual out of the way I believe I'll commandeer your office and resume my studies. I'm sure you don't mind, Carlisle."
"Of course not, I'll go and get you some of the books stored in the basement."
Surprised by Bella's reason for having brown eyes.
Btw, I have a poll on my profile about my next twilight fic. Please vote!
