BPOV

I was woken up by the coldness at my back, again. I smiled. I knew it was Edward, lying with me. I looked at the clock on the nightstand and it said it was six in the morning. There was an hour left. I rolled myself and faced Edward.

'Edward.' I whispered into his ear. 'Edward, it's six in the morning.'

He opened his eyes and smiled. 'Morning.'

I smiled at him. 'Morning.' I got up and headed to my closet. I found myself a nice outfit and headed to the bathroom.

EPOV

'Edward.' Someone whispered into my ear. I knew it was Bella. 'Edward, it's six in the morning.' What, six in the morning? There is less than an hour for us to get ready. My eyes snapped opened. I turned to Bella and smiled to her.

'Morning.' She smiled back to me too. felt warm from the inside out. That's why I liked her smiles, it made me felt warm inside.

'Morning.' Then she got up and headed to get ready.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

We left Bella's apartment seven sharp. I drove my Volvo to the airport.

'Edward, are you sure is okay with your parents?' Bella asked again, sounding worry.

I chuckled. 'Bella, you have asked me this question like, ten times. Again, they are okay with you. They can't wait to see you.' I assured her again. I just didn't understand why she was so stubborn, and caring and thoughtful at the same time. Maybe that's the reason why I fell in love with her.

We arrived the airport at quarter to eight. I parked my car at the lot and got our luggage out of the trunk.

BPOV

We were waiting for the flight to Port Angeles. I knew it's the fastest way to Forks. I had never told Edward that I came from Forks. Even Rose. I didn't want to bring the bad memories up. Alice was the only one who knew about it. I didn't tell Edward this was because I didn't want to bar his from seeing his parents. I knew my face was pale, but I tried to pretend that I didn't get enough sleep last night. I hoped that could stop Edward asking question. I didn't want to lie to him, but at the same time, I didn't want to tell him everything about myself. I still didn't trust him.

I tried to get some sleep on the plane, but after an hour of turning my body in my seat, I gave up. I knew I couldn't sleep like this. Edward had put on his ear bugs and reading some magazine he bought at the airport. He seemed enjoy the magazine, so I didn't bother him. I looked out of the window. The clouds were floating around the plane. There was golden band around each cloud. I stared at nowhere. Suddenly, I saw a woman on the edge of the cloud. I moved forward to get a better look. The woman looked familiar. She was waving at me. I suddenly realized it was my mother.

'Mom… mom…' I called out. But she was getting further and further away from me. I moved forward more and tried to catch her.

'Bella… Bella…' someone grabbed my wrist and called out my name. Who's that? I groaned. 'Bella, wake up. Bella.' I recognized that voice, it was Edward. I snapped open my eyes. The first thing I met was Edward's green eyes. Some of the crew was at his back, looking at me like I was a three-head monster.

'Bella, are you okay?' he asked softly. His hands were cupping my face.

'I am alright.' My voice was husky. He turned around and motioned the crew it's alright. The crew then walked away.

'What happened?' I asked.

'You were sleeping. Then, suddenly, you were shouting and calling for your mother. I tried to wake you up, but I couldn't. So the crew comes and sees what happened. Bella, are you okay? You didn't look good.' He sounded concerned.

'Yeah. I am fine. It's just plane sickness. I think it will go away when we reach Forks.' Edward just stared at me. I could see that he want to say something.

'If you still feel not so good, you have to tell me. I can ask Carlisle to check you out.'

'Carlisle?' I had heard the name before, but I couldn't recall where I had heard it.

'Yeah. He's my father.' I just nodded. Edward lifted the arm rest between our seats and positioned me so that I was leaning on his chest. He put his arms around my waist. I gradually drifted to sleep again. But this time, it was a dreamless sleep.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

'Bella, wake up. We are at Port Angeles.' I opened my eyes and saw the passengers were at the isle, waiting to get off the plane. I sat up, combed my hair with my fingers and straightened my t-shirt.

After we claimed our entire luggage, Edward led me to the parking lot. There was a man and a woman waiting for us. The man was tall. He had blond hair, set in place with hair gel. The woman had a heart-shaped face and long curly caramel-color hair.

'Hey, mom.' Edward gave the woman a hug. Then he turned to the blond hair man. 'Hey, dad.' He greeted him coldly. They shook hands for a brief second. To me, they looked like two enemies forced to shake hands. Finally, the woman spoke up.

'Edward, dear. Who is this lovely young lady?'

'Bella, they are my adoptive parents. Mom, dad, this is Bella Swan. She's a colleague of mine in the department.'

'Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Cullen.' I shook hand with the man first. His eyes were no longer ice-cold. They were warm and welcoming now. I had a feeling that he knew me for long time. I knew it was weird. As long as I remembered, I didn't know any Carlisle Cullen.

'Nice to meet you, too. And please, call me Carlisle.'

'Carlisle.' I repeated with a smile.

'Bella, it's nice to meet you. I am Esme. It's okay to call me Esme.' She gave me a hug.

'Esme.'

'Come on, let's get home.' Home, I didn't know how long I didn't have this word come across my mind. I always said 'I am heading to my apartment'. I never said home. I had lost it when Charlie…

'Bella.' Edward whispered in my ears and dragged me back to the reality. Apparently, we arrived Edward's home, or mansion to be exact. I didn't recall how I got into Carlisle's car, or how long the journey did last.

I stepped out of the car, my eyes still glued to Edward's house. It's so amazing. Edward led me to the house. The house was so spacious. The walls were replaced by glass.

'Wow.' I couldn't help but exclaimed.

'Esme designed the house on her own.' Edward said.

'Esme, this is amazing.'

'Thank you. Come on, I will take you to your room.' She gestured me to go upstairs with her. I followed.

'Bella, your room is on the second floor, next to Edward's room. The bathroom would be at the end of the hall.'

'Thanks, Esme.' I smiled to her as I stepped into the room. The room was very large. It's twice the size of my bedroom back to Chicago. I turned around and Esme was standing at the door way.

'Bella, do you mind telling me where you come from?' she asked softly.


So, did Esme recognized Bella? Review, please.
