AN: Hi guys! Thank you so much for the kind (as always) reviews! Within the next few chapters it's going to get very interesting, so keep checking for updates! I would like to say a massive thank you to my wonderful Beta, Hapakids, without her this story would be a bunch of jumbled words and spelling errors! Also, thank you to everyone who added me on Facebook. I got a PM a couple of days ago concerning my disclaimer, if you go onto my profile, I have a disclaimer there (: Oh and to the reviewer who asked why Bella is portrayed as weak, the affect that Edward has on Bella makes her like that, it's sort of like he dazzles her without really meaning to, if you get what I mean? Also, I hope in this chapter that you see Bella as a little less wimpy, as I gave her a bit of a back bone! You will see her less weak throughout the next few chapters, thanks for reviewing though!
EPOV:
The car was ride was quiet, the silence full of unanswered questions and unbreakable promises.
Bella had been peaceful ever since I asked her if she was ready, the muted silence wasn't uncomfortable it was just that nothing needed to be said.
I loved the feeling of being behind the wheel, since it was the only thing I could actually control. Early on in my relationship with Bella, I realised that she would not be the submissive mate that most male vampires dreamed of, but I wouldn't want her any other way.
She held full possession of me, I would never lust after another and I would most definitely never feel the intense love for anyone else but her.
I gripped the wheel tighter in my hands, my already pale knuckles going a sickly white. I audibly swallowed my Adams apple bobbing with desire; I sneaked a glance at my mate's legs hardly able to hold the lustful groan in.
When I had seen her step out of the elevator, all movement stopped it was just me and her. Us.
She was a vision so beautiful that I feared if I touched her I would corrupt her sweet, sweet innocence.
I knew that if my heart was beating, it would have been going a thousand beats per minute and all the blood it pumped would have gone straight to my cock.
I also knew that the midnight blue dress would look astonishingly beautiful on her, but she would always outshine the most expensive of clothes, the rarest of jewels and the prettiest of women all put together. She was astonishing.
The engine continued to purr as I pressed my foot down harder relishing in the blur of black and grey as we passed the overly large man made buildings.
The occasional flicker of colour merged into the grey, catching my beauty's attention as she peered out of the darkened car window with wide eyes the over the top neighbourhood catching her by surprise.
Confusion etched her features as she scrunched her eyebrows together and pursed her lips "What are we doing here Edward? I thought you said we were going to a café…." her words trailed off as she continued to watch outside, enthralled with the beauty of the architecture.
I smiled at the action subconsciously reaching my hand out to mould with hers, almost instantly a delicate warm hand held onto mine threading our fingers. "We are and there are some people I'd like you to meet."
At this she perked up almost instantly, blatantly staring at me in surprise. "Who are they!" I looked over to her, taking in her large smile and I couldn't help but smile back. I knew I would spend forever getting her to smile like that for every moment of every day.
Finally we pulled up out the front of a small bistro, the words 'Cocoa been' etched elegantly on a warm chocolate brown sign.
I turned the engine off, not wasting any time in dashing out of the car at vampire speed to open my angel's door.
Sliding my fingers to the handle, I slowly pulled the door open offering her my hand. A shy smile was placed on her blood red lips as she delicately placed her hand in mine, looking at me from under her lashes in an innocent manner.
I couldn't suppress my groan at the sight and instantly pulled her into my arms pressing her as tight to my body as possible. I wrapped my hands around her tiny waist, placing my head into the crook of her neck, subtly marking her with my scent before we walked in. Small hands weaved through my copper locks, scratching at the nape of my neck gently.
"It's been said that you only truly fall in love once, but I don't believe it. Every time I see you, I fall in love all over again!" My voice was slightly muffled by her neck, but the slow scratching on my neck halted her body going stiff. I pulled out of her neck immediately worried that I had hurt her somehow, but as I looked at her face I noticed her eyes were glassy, filled with her precious unshed tears.
"Don't cry baby girl, I'm sorry for whatever I said" I murmured, I didn't want her upset at all she was too beautiful to cry.
Without warning she crashed her lips to mine, wrapping her arms around my neck as I held on tightly to her hips in an intimate embrace.
My tongue traced her full pouty lips, silently begging for her to open them for me without hesitation she opened her mouth snaking her tongue out to stroke mine.
We battled for dominance, but eventually I won placing continuous possessive kisses on her sweet mouth.
Pulling away when I heard her start to gasp, I took notice of her bright red swollen lips from our kiss, I was positive mine were the same.
Smiling at her as she panted, I looped my arm with hers leading her to the small inviting doors of the café.
Her small hand stroked mine passively as I purred at the contact. Pushing the heavy door open the small bell above the door alerted every one of our presence as a group of eyes locked onto us. Shy at the attention she was receiving; Bella glanced down, the famous blush I was now happily accustomed to make its regular appearance.
"Edward!" A joyful masculine voice cried out from across the room and my eyes immediately snapped to the direction it came from.
A flash of blonde hair was all that could be seen before Carlisle was standing directly in front of me. I subconsciously wrapped my arm around my beauty's waist possessively before a nodded in acknowledgement.
"How have you been son?" I couldn't help the smile that took over my features, even though Carlisle wasn't my biological father he was still there for all intents and purposes and I suppose that's what made my coven feel more like a family then a group of soulless, blood thirsty vampires.
I nodded my reply before speaking "I've been very good!" My eyes looked to Bella, who was still tucked tightly into my side. Noticing my movement, Carlisle's eyes flickered to my mate "Oh! Is this the famous mate I've been hearing about?" A large smile grew on Carlisle's face as he took in my mate's appearance and I couldn't help the slight growl that echoed from my chest.
Immediately Carlisle placed his hands in a submissive manner. "Edward, it's okay, she is your mate..." I nodded instantly, placing a small kiss on Bella's strawberry scented locks.
"Her name is Bella" I murmured rapidly before a sudden burst of pale skin ran into both our arms, locking us into an intimate embrace. Esme.
A big smile etched onto her features as she pulled back, looking between the two of us with a kind expression. "Oh,Edward! And this must be the lovely Bella! I always wanted another daughter!"
I was slightly worried how Bella would react at this, but the genuine tug of her lips showed that she had no opposing thoughts to the idea.
"You must be Esme" Bella then looked to Carlisle "I'm sorry about Edward before." She gave me a pointed look before continuing, "And you must be Carlisle, it's a pleasure to meet you both!"
Esme's high pitched giggle ran through the café. "Oh, you're just perfect for Edward!" She embraced Bella again, and I couldn't stop from smirking when I saw my beautiful mate hug Esme back with just as much love.
I watched as Carlisle wrapped a steady arm around Esme much the same as I had Bella. "Let's go take a seat shall we?" Carlisle raised his eyebrows in question and gave a slight nod to an empty booth at the back of the café.
I nodded and led Bella to the dark leather booth, ushering her in and sitting next to her instantly nestling her tightly to my side with a large arm wrapped around her waist once more.
Esme and Carlisle sat in a similar position, both with beaming smiles on their faces as they witnessed Bella and me sitting so intimately.
Almost immediately a young looking waitress with dyed bleach blonde hair and a slightly orange tan sauntered her way over to the table, completely ignoring my mate's and Esme's presence.
"What can I get you?" She practically purred out, probably thinking she sounded sexy but never have I found someone so revolting. Her eyes kept darting between Carlisle and I, and I felt my mate's small hands curl into fists on my chest.
"What ,would you like my love?" I directed my full attention to my baby girl, smirking when I heard the waitresses over exaggerated huff.
She observed the small laminated piece of paper, chewing her pouty lip between her perfect teeth. "Umm…. I'll get the fruit salad" The waitress hurriedly scribbled something down on the small yellow pad while rolling her eyes.
"And, for you?" She suggestively bit her lip and I had to stop myself from gagging. "O negative, Mountain lion, warm please" I avoided eye contact, keeping my eyes on Bella the whole time.
She grumbled while writing it down, turning her head to Carlisle and Esme's direction not even bothering to seduce Carlisle.
"And for you, two?" Esme tapped on the menu, deciding what to pick. "I'll have the A positive, deer, and make it fresh, pretty please!" Esme smiled politely before turning her direction to her mate.
Carlisle and Esme kept eye contact as he spoke to the waitress. "The same as my beautiful mate, thank you" The waitress nodded slightly before scribbling the orders down and collecting the printed menus.
The conversation flowed freely and I soon discovered that Bella and Esme got along extraordinarily well. I also found out about her passion to cook and her love of the classics.
I had been on edge the entire time we had been here after our last date I knew that this would be a test, but I had to show my mate that I trusted her enough not to leave me. Ever.
When our meals arrived, I immediately noticed Bella's look of distaste at the blood as did Carlisle and Esme. The blood was quite old and clotted and obviously had been reheated with a microwave, but we all made sure to drink it quickly to spare my beautiful mate the discomfort.
After we all finished our breakfast the peaceful conversation started to flow once more until the unavoidable question on whether or not my beautiful mate wanted children.
She immediately froze when the words left Esme's mouth and my hand instinctively tighten on her waist, just as eager for her answer as Esme was.
After a slight clear of her throat she sat up further, clasping her hands together in front of her.
"To tell you the truth, I've never really thought about children…" I desperately hoped she wanted to have children, because telling little Edward junior that I had to chase his mother around the room just so he could be conceived would be a little awkward.
Esme reached a hand across the table to meet with Bella's. "I would love grandchildren, the sooner the better!" Esme's cheery voice had me wishing that Bella had answered the question instantly. Preferably with a yes.
"What do you think Edward? Do you want to be a father?" Carlisle asked me, his voice full of interest. I looked to my baby, pulling her back into my arms tightly as I huskily whispered. "I want to be a father more then anything, and I want this beautiful woman wrapped in my arms to be their mother" I leaned in and placed a slight kiss at her neck before pulling away, watching with a wide smirk as she shuddered.
I almost laughed at how I affected her, but that was before a warm pale hand landed on my thigh, oh so close to the place I wanted her to touch me the most.
I growl hummed in my chest and it was obvious that Esme and Carlisle knew what was happening, having been in the newly mated phase before.
I had never felt so much desire for her then right at that moment and the worst thing was that I wanted to fuck her hard, right in front of everyone.
I knew that if we didn't leave soon it would happen, I could my beast start to come out, and the constant darkening of my eyes showed it even more.
"Okay, well it's obvious that you two need to go…" a confused look etched into Bella's features at Carlisle's words before she glanced at my face. In the deep recesses of my mind, I was worried that she was scared of me but as the addictive smell of her arousal permeated the air I knew I had done just the opposite.
Pulling out the wallet at the back of my jeans, I threw a hundred dollar note on the table before hoisting Bella over my shoulder listening as she called her goodbye to both Esme and Carlisle and promising that she would see them both soon.
Slapping a hand on her ass as I ran out of the café, the sound of my baby's moan sounded through the air as well as a few chuckles from the fellow mated vampires inside.
"Edwaarrrrrrdd!" My angel wanted this just as much as I did and talking about her pregnant with my child, just…. Did things to me.
With a smirk on my face I pulled open the door, setting her in and doing her seatbelt up just as quickly while doing the same with myself on the other side.
Starting the car, I leaned over so my face was just inches from hers. Her eyes were wide with desire and her breasts rose and fell with each panting breath she took.
"I hope you're ready.." I smirked at her as she gulped; her sweet aroma filled the air of the car once more. Groaning I sped off, more than ready to do what my beast wanted me to do.
I want her pregnant. Now.
