Disclaimer: I don't own any characters in Twilight. The only ones I own are the ones I created which are Thomas and Matthew.
RECAP
"Do you both understand?" asked Emmett. I looked at him.
"Yes, sir".
"Good, I like you good enough, boy but I don't want you to knock my daughter up".
"Daddy! Oh my God. You are embarrassing him. I'm sorry, Matty. My dad has no filter." I laughed. "It's OK, Bell." She called me, Matty.
~NOW~
MATTHEW'S POV
OMG, did she just give me a nickname? Ah, shit. I am staring again. Matthew, stop staring at her. Her parents are in front of you. Blink, boy.
"Sorry, I don't know why I keep doing the staring thing. It's weird, HA".
"It's a mate thing. I still stare at Rose like that and we have been together longer than you have been alive," said Emmett.
"Is she ever going to be dumbstruck by me? I can't be doing that in public. I'll look like an idiot".
"I stare at you, Matty. I just don't get caught!" said Bella as she stuck her tongue out at me.
Mhmm, I could do some things with that tongue. Woahhhh! Where tf did that come from? Oh, sweet Jesus, her uncle can feel my emotions. As soon as I think that, the rest of the Cullen family make their way downstairs. I look up and Jasper is the first one I see, smirking at me. Oh God, kill me now.
"Any questions for us, Matthew?" asked Carlisle.
"Ummm, yeah. How old are you guys? When did you become vampires and how? Does anyone else have gifts?"
"Well son, I don't really know the year I was born. They rarely kept up with things like that back in the day. I am well over 300 years old."
My mouth dropped. Did he just say 300 years old? I got up and walked to him and began circling his body. "You are 300 years old! Impossible. Look at you. You look no older than 28."
"I was 26 years old when I was turned."
"Sweet Jesus. The things you must have seen. I have sooo many questions in my head right now. Everyone laughed.
"Maybe we can take some time one day and I can answer those for you."
"I would like that." I smiled at him. Am I still circling him?
"Matty. Come back and sit down. I can see the wheels turning in your head." laughed Bell.
"Oh, sorry!" I went and sat back next to Bell and she held my hand. Oh, God. Why did she do that? I am staring again. Matthew, stop staring right now! Someone is coughing. I blinked and looked around. It's Emmett, oh shit.
"Sorry! I've got to stop doing that!" Everyone laughed again and in unison, all the men said "we understand".
"OK. I have no gift to my knowledge but some say my incredible blood tolerance could be a gift."
"OK, cool. Who's next?" Everyone went around telling me when they were changed and how. The saddest ones were Alice and Rose. Alice has no recollection of her human life and her family put her in an insane asylum. I wouldn't want to remember them anyway. Rose didn't go into detail. Only saying that the worst thing that could happen to a woman happened to her and that's why she was brought into this life. That really pissed me off. How dare someone do that to her? Inexcusable, a weak and pitiful excuse of a man. That's when I felt Jasper's gift for the first time. He used it on me to calm me down.
"What about you, Bell? Can you do some cool shit?"
"Ha, ha! I can most definitely do some cool shit. I will show you tomorrow, it's late, you should get some sleep."
"Oh, what time is it?"
"It's almost 12 in the morning. You two have school in the morning. Isabella, we will let you and Matthew say goodbye to each other. Goodnight, Matthew." said Rose.
"Goodnight, y'all".
"Will you be over tomorrow, Matthew?" Before I could answer, Bell said yes.
"I guess, I will Ms. Esme."
"Oh, just call me Esme honey. I will go to the grocery store and get more snacks and stuff for you and Bella."
"Thank you".
Everyone made their way to different parts of the house, except Emmett. Bell and I looked at him and he said, "I would like to speak with you privately tomorrow Matthew if that's OK."
"Daddy!"
"It's fine, Bell. Of course."
"Great. Goodnight, Matt". He smiled at me and went to find Rose.
I looked at Bell and smiled. "Your dad called me Matt AND smiled at me. That's good!" She laughed and so did I.
"Are you sure you are OK with everything, Matty?" I grabbed her hand and we began to walk out to my truck.
"I am Bell. I think if I had a family I would be more apprehensive about this considering I would have to eventually leave them forever, but I don't. Therefore, I don't have to worry about anyone's opinions or views but my own. I actually think this is some pretty cool shit and it's happening in Forks of all places."
"Ok, that's good. I'm sorry for answering for you when Nana asked about you coming over. I just didn't want you to say no."
She's looking down. I grabbed her chin and made her look at me. "It's fine, Bell. It'll be fun! Maybe y'all can show me the vamp strength. I don't know if I should feel emasculated or proud that you are stronger than me and can kick some ass, ha."
"You are crazy, Matty. I'll see you at school."
"Yeah. See you tomorrow, Bella". I grabbed her and pulled her to my chest. She took a deep breath and signed. We pulled apart and I kissed her on the forehead, she smiled at me. I hopped in the ancient truck and pulled off making my way back to my side of town.
