Bella will still be emotional in some parts of this chapter. Though she will let loose a lot more and try to have fun while they're in Forks.

Can't explain it,
How you swept me off my feet, unexpectedly.
In slow motion,
My imagination running trying to keep my body still,
I can hardly stand the thrill.
"Right Where You Want Me" by Jesse McCartney
We were now waiting for our bags in the baggage claim. Being here in Port Angeles airport was like being in your very own airport. It was like a private one. No one was here except for us, the staff and some, I mean only about 10 passengers in the airport. It was so quiet unlike JFK Airport. There were no paparazzi and their stupid cameras in our faces; there was no need to put big glasses and hats to cover our faces. This was awesome. It was like we can both be normal people without many people buzzing around you.
Yes, there were still stares but it wasn't that bad. They gave us our space and our privacy that we very much needed.
"My mom just texted me. They're on their way to pick us up." Bella said when we were walking towards the exit after we got our luggage. We're gonna stay here for probably two weeks and go back to the city after Thanksgiving. Cosmopolitan magazine canceled the photo shoot and told Bella to take a little vacation first before doing the shoot a month from now.
"Do we need to stay in separate rooms?" I turned to Bella and asked her suddenly. She just looked at me like I said something weird. "What? It's your parent's house." I shrugged.
"Alice, don't be ridiculous. Besides, I'm an adult now. I can do whatever I want." She said before we heard someone yell Bella's name. I turned around and saw a woman running towards us. She looks exactly like Bella only older. She also has brown hair and green eyes but her enthusiasm and cheeriness was anything but Bella.
This must be her mom, Renee Swan.
"Hey Mom." Bella greeted her mom with a hug.
"My baby is finally home!" She cried in happiness. I smiled at both of them. I hope my mom's reaction was always like that when she saw either of her children. But I don't wanna dream anymore. "And you must Alice. Welcome to Washington dear." Her mom turned to me and gave me hug.
"Nice to meet you Mrs. Swan." I hug her back politely.
"Please, call me Renee. Mrs. Swan's my mother-in-law." She rolled her eyes as I giggled at her.
"Don't hog the girl Renee. I want to meet her too." A man behind her made his presence known and gave me a smile. "Nice to meet you Alice. I'm Bella's dad, Charlie." He offered his hand and I shook it.
"Let's go home." Her mom declared. We went out of the airport and got inside in what I assume her dad's BMW SUV.
"I talked to Gabby yesterday." Her mom turned around in her seat at the front and told Bella.
"Really?" I looked at Bella and her face looked excited. She was ecstatic to finally see her sister again for so long. "That's great. Edward's coming here in about a four days with his girlfriend."
"So this will be a 'meet your lover's parents Thanksgiving vacation' then. It seems that all three of you will bring home someone for us to meet." Charlie said from behind the wheel. He winked at me at the rearview mirror that made me giggle. And that's where the Swan kids get their charms from. Now I know.
"Why, what did Gabby tell you?" Bella asked.
"She's gonna bring home some guy." Her mother said.
"And did she tell you where she met this guy?" You can here the protectiveness in Bella's voice. She was very protective of her family, I can tell from the way she looked out for all of them.
"In Europe. I don't know where particularly. She just told me she would bring the guy home and that we all would love him." Renee shrugged then seated properly in her seat.
I looked outside the window and studied my surrounding. We had probably three hours of driving before we get to Forks. It was very green and had so many trees as we neared the small town.
I can feel my eyelids droop as we go even closer to our destination. I didn't get much sleep in the plane because of the agitation. But when I met Bella's parents I realized that there's nothing to be scared of. They were nice people.
I felt Bella pull me closer to her and whispered. "Sleep, Alice." I laid my head to her shoulder and closed my eyes. In no time, I was asleep.

I was having a dream. A very good one, might I add.
Bella and I were in a beach, walking hand in hand, our feet bear against the sand. It was sunset and the sky was beautiful. A mixture of red and orange. We were only in our bikinis. Mine white and hers blue. Bella turned to me and smiled her fucking gorgeous smile.
"What?" I asked, giving her a grin of my own.
"I love you… so much." She whispered bringing me to an abrupt stop then pulling me against her. She cupped my face in her hands and kissed me deeply. It was an intense kiss. It wasn't a soft kiss. Bella poured all her emotions in it. It was a full make-out session with tongue. I loved this Bella.
"I love you too." I whispered back against her lips. Her hands glided down to the small of my back then found it's destination in my ass. She squeezed it that made me yelped. But it felt good.
"Bella…" I moaned her name while kissing her intensely.
"Alice!" She said my name but not the whisper-talk we were having earlier. "Alice!" She said again. Her hands on my ass went to my shoulders and shook me. "Alice, Alice!" She kept shaking me and yelling my name.
"Alice, wake up sweetheart!" As she said those words, my eyes fluttered open. When I looked at my surroundings, everyone was looking at me. Bella was staring at me, hiding a smile as she pursed her lips; her father was looking at me at the rearview mirror once again and like her daughter, was keeping himself from laughing. But her mother though, didn't kept it like the rest of them. Renee was beaming at me widely.
"We're here, Alice." Renee said, opening the door of the SUV, her husband following her action. When both doors were closed, leaving Bella and I along in the car, Bella bursted out laughing.
"Shut up! What did I do?" I pushed her away from me then opened my door ready to go out of the car.
"Wait! I'm sorry…I'm sorry…" She said, trying to stop her laughter. I looked at her sternly and waited for an explanation on why they were looking at me that way. "You were moaning my name in your sleep babe." As she said that, my eyes went wide. I covered my face and started to curse beneath my hand.
"Fuck… shit… Oh my god that was so embarrassing."
"It was hilarious actually. And such a turn on." I looked at Bella and flipped the finger at her smug smile.
"It's not funny Bella." I came out of the car then leaned on the closed door. I didn't want to go inside their house and embarrass myself further more.
Bella walked to me then stood in front of me. Her hands trapped me making a Bella and car sandwich out of me.
"Don't be embarrassed baby. It was so hot of you to moan my name like that." Her face went closer to my neck then kissed it. She sucked my skin making my eyes roll at the back of my eyelids. She was doing this on purpose for me to keep my cool.
"But Bella… you're parents"
"Doesn't care about a thing." She said cutting me off. "They gave you weird looks but that was it. They're okay with us Alice. I can see my mom already likes you as well as my dad." She told me. "Now, do you want to come in or are we just gonna stay here outside?" I took her outstretched hand and let her drag me towards their house.
Oh, wait. This wasn't a house. It was a Mansion!
Their house was huge that was made of stone and wood.
"Wow, Bella. You're house looks amazing… and huge." I told her, murmuring the last part as I looked at the big house. She dragged me to the front door and led me inside. If I thought the outside was amazing, the inside was even more gorgeous. It was warm and cozy looking with the orange glow coming from the wood as the main material of their house.
"Bella, show Alice your old room and put your things in there. Carlisle and Esme will stay for dinner tonight and I want the both of you to be well rested before that." Renee gave me a warm smile as she directed her daughter; I gave her a smile back before she went to the kitchen.
"Come on." Bella led me up the stairs and to her childhood room. Her room was huge just like the other rooms in their house. It was in the floor joining her brother's and sister's room along the hallway. There was a king size bed at the far end with white sheets. The room didn't have a color scheme. Just white walls and the ceiling were wood. All natural looking.
"Who are Carlisle and Esme?" I asked, remembering her mom telling us they were coming for dinner.
"My aunt and uncle. Uncle Carlisle is my mom's brother. He's a doctor you know." She informed me. "And Aunt Esme is his wife and my mother's best friend."
I hacked my brain for some information on why I think I knew these people.
Carlisle and Esme. Carlisle and Esme.
I kept repeating their names in my head until finally I got my answer.
"Wait, Carlisle and Esme Cullen?" I asked Bella.
"Yeah. How do you know?"
"Carlisle is a professor in the Harvard Medical School right?" I asked her, confirming my thought.
"Yeah." She said again. "Why do you know all these?"
"He's Jasper's professor when he was still studying. He told me he changed his life." I remembered Jasper telling me how Dr. Cullen inspired him to become a better doctor.
"Jasper? Who's he?" Bella asked in confusion.
Haven't I mentioned Jasper before?
Oh crap.
"Jasper is Rose's brother. And… my ex-boyfriend." I told her. I kept my eyes away from her, instead looked around her room. I walked towards her ceiling to floor window and looked outside. It was their backyard that consist of a trampoline and a table with an umbrella and some more wooden chairs.
Can this house get anymore bigger?
"So, you're ex-boyfriend is your sister-in-law's brother, making him your brother-in-law?" Bella asked making it a lot more confusing.
"Well technically, he's not but with the way you're saying it, he seems like it." I shrugged.
"And it doesn't bother you a bit? I mean he is your ex-boyfriend and I guess you see him in family gatherings and such."
"Exactly, what do you want to tell me? Huh, Bella?" I turned to her and raised my eyebrows.
She took a small step towards me and sighed. "Nothing. Forget about it."
"No, Bella. I want to know." I challenged.
"It's just… just… it's" She started but couldn't continue her words. She took another deep breath and said, "I'm just scared." She answered truthfully.
What was this all about again? Her insecurities were blocking her true self again.
"Bella, I thought we're finished with all of these? What are you scared about?" I took a step closer to her and wrapped her in my arms. I was worried for Bella that this wouldn't go away. Her 'monsters', I mean.
"I know that I'm your first girlfriend and I'm scared that if you knew me a lot better, you would leave me and go back to loving men." She aired out to me. This had to stop. I wouldn't and cannot imagine loving anyone but her now that I got her.
"Baby, stop. I thought we're passed all of these? I thought I already told you that I wouldn't love anyone else but you?" I closed the gap of our lips and kissed her softly, taking my time with her. "And as for Jasper, before we even got together, we were friends. We still are. And if you're still worried about him, please don't be." I smiled at her and kissed her once again.
"Why?" She asked when I broke away and made my way to her neck.
"Because he's gay." I snorted as I remember him telling me he was gay. He broke up with me and told me that he was into guys.
"Now that you're saying that, I feel like such an idiot."
"Yeah, but you're my idiot." I smiled against her neck then sucked it, trying to give her a hickey. Marking her as mine as she already marked me as hers. Forever.
There would still be more of Forks in the next chapter. We'll also meet Uncle Carlisle and Aunt Esme in the next chapter. And maybe Edward and Angela would be in the picture as well. But Gabby and the mystery guy? I don't know. Maybe not yet. But, do you have any idea on who this guy that Gabby will bring home to meet the family?
Review please! I love them! ;)
