I looked at myself in the mirror and was shocked. My silk midnight blue knee length dress adorned my curves and showed minimum cleavage-thank god. My flats were black and simple and my hair flowed to hung to my stomach in curls; I hadn't even realized my hair was growing again. I put on a coat of clear lip gloss and a little mascara. I smiled at my reflection and went into Lizzy's bedroom where Ella and her were playing Barbie.

They looked up at me when I entered and grinned.

"Mommy, you look stunning!" Ella giggled while Lizzy just squealed.

I blushed crimson. Edward taught her that word.

"Come on girls," I said beckoning them. "You need to get ready too."

I put Ella's hair into a French twist braid that hung to her bum and dressed her in a blue and black Pokka dot dress that went to her knees and was spaghetti strapped with black ballet flats . I did Lizzy next, which I was used to doing by now. I put her hair into a curly side ponytail that reached her chest, leaving two streaks of hair in her face. She wore a white summer dress with black flats too.

I also put on a little make up on them - they insisted if I got to wear it they did too- a little lip gloss and natural eye shadow.

After hours of begging, they somehow convinced me to bring Tinkerbelle with us. I just hope Edward's parents didn't mind. I bit my lip. I was so nervous.

After a few deep breaths, I sent the girls downstairs with Tinkerbelle to Edward while I went awake Maria from her nap. I lifted her so she was cradled into my arms. She whimpered a bit before rubbing her eyes and looking up at me. She sobered and sucked her thumb as she watched me. I went into her bag and took out a pink and brown polka dot dress with booties and a matching hair clip. After dressing her, she was more alert but quiet, as expected after her nap but I didn't doubt she'd be knocked out by the time we got to Edward's parents. I picked her back up then held the baby bag over my other shoulder.

I walked downstairs and went outside to the Volvo. When I looked up I noticed Edward staring at me with a gorgeous crooked smile with Anthony beside him in a cute little white dress shirt and black pants and shoes, similar to Anthony. I blushed again before he stroked my red cheek gently.

"Are you ready love?" He asked smiling gently

I nodded and held Tony's hand as Edward buckled Maria into her car seat and folded the stroller into the truck.

The whole drive, Maria was quiet but giggling when Tony tickled her, the girls chatting about something while playing with Tinkerbelle while Edward and I sat in comfortable silence.

Well to him it was comfortable. I was scared out of my mind.

I was biting my lip and all of a sudden Edward kissed my hand, not taking his eyes off of the road but smiling slightly and rubbing circles across my hand. It helped a lot and I was soon comforted.

When we pulled up to the Cullen mansion I was more than in awe. It was amazing and grand.

"Bella," Edward said offering me his hand.

I took it with a smile as he helped me out of the car. We unloaded all the kids, we headed towards the house. My steps were a bit slower than I wanted them to be, my breaths shallow.

"Bella," Edward said as he held my head gently in his hands.

I lifted my gaze to meet his green orbs filled with disappointment and guilt. My head felt light and I struggled to focus.

"Bella, it's ok if don't want to do this, we could go home," he soothed although I could see in his eyes he was eager for me to meet his family.

I swallowed hard and stood up straight. Determination was now stirring up inside of me although I was still scared.

"No," I said, sounding more confident than I felt. "It's ok."

He fought off a proud happy smile and squeezed my hand lightly, giving me a confidence boost. I pushed Maria's stroller while Ella and Tinkerbelle strolled beside me.

Edward rang the doorbell once and my heart thudded when the door opened and revealed a caramel haired mother figure, who looked to be along her late twenties, greet us with a graceful and joyous smile.

"My boy," she said in a sweet melodic voice, smiling before embracing Edward.

My eyes widened in realization that this was Edward's mom. She was so gorgeous and warm-hearted.

Edward smiled down at his mother. "Hi Mom." He turned to me and flashed me one of his breathtaking smiles. "This is Isabella. Bella this is my mother Esme."

I smiled shyly, a blush coating my cheeks as Esme hugged me as if I were as important as her son. "It's wonderful to meet you, Esme."

Her smile softened. "And it's a pleasure to finally meet you, Bella. You're the one who stole my son's heart. I am eternally grateful."

My blush deepened and when looked up I saw an adorable coat of pink on his cheeks.

Esme invited us in and I was immediately being suffocated.

"EMMETT!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?!?" I choked out.

Esme smiled at me. "You know my nephew-in-law?"

My gaze snapped up to Emmett who was grinning like a cat. "Rosie's Carlisle's niece, Bells."

Before I could ask, a gorgeous blonde who looked some what like Rosalie strutted in and wrapped his lean muscular form around Esme. His smile was warm, blue eyes glistening with pride.

"I suppose you're the infamous Bella," he smiled.

I ducked my head shyly. "I suppose so."

"Edward!" a shriek came as everyone looked towards the stairway. There stood a bouncing pixie at the top of the stairs with a calm yet amused blonde man by her side.

She engulfed Edward in a hug and then turned to me and squealed.

"You're Bella!" and she gave me a bone crushing hug, almost as strong as Emmett's. "We are going to be such great friends!!!" she bounced.

The blonde nodded at me kindly with a warm smile. "Nice meeting you Bella," he said in a light Southern accent.

Before I could respond, light barking and giggles entered the living room as Tinkerbelle entered pulling the kids behind them.

"GRANDMA! GRANDPA!!!" Anthony and Lizzy squealed running towards Edward's parents.

Esme glowed. "Hello my dears. Are you being good for Daddy?"

As Esme, Carlisle and Alice cooed over how big Anthony and Lizzy had grown, I felt something tug on my leg. I looked down to see my little Ella shyly hiding behind my leg. I smiled to myself, she had never been one for meeting new people, even if she knew some of them. I cleared my throat, getting everyone's attention.

"And these are Bella's daughters-Maria," I announced gesturing to the sleeping baby in the stroller, "And Ella. She's a bit shy."

Bella smiled at me, love and pride radiating off of her.

Carlisle smiled warmly. "Hello, Ella."

Ella shuffled a bit but waved before hiding her gorgeous face into my leg.

"Ella boo! This is grandpa. Don't be afraid of him," my daughter encouraged, skipping over to her friend.

I looked down to see Ella look at Lizzy then step out a bit from behind my leg so that they could see her full face. Her doe eyes still looked down, not liking to be the center of attention just like her mother.

"Hi," Ella said in a quiet voice. Everyone smiled at how adorable she was.

Soon enough she reached up for me and hid her face in my chest, blushing pink. The girls in the room giggled while the guys chuckled lightly.

"I know someone who'll make her not so shy…" Bella sang.

I grinned, catching on. "Look whose in the room Ella."

"Ella wella!! Are you hiding from your best uncle Emmett??" Emmett boomed, making Ella snap her head up towards him.

She instantly jumped out of my arms and started to run giggling. "No TICKLE MONSTER!!"

"Oh you asked for it!" Emmett grinned and chased after her soon followed by Antony, Tinkerbelle and Elizabeth.

The night was now officially perfect.
