by bexie25

Step one you say we need to talk, he walks you say sit down, it's just a talk. He smiles politely back at you. You stare politely right on through. Meeting on a bus, Edward and Bella are immediately attracted to each other but their gloomy, abuse-ridden pasts make them both hesitant to trust anyone. Follow them as Bella learns not only how to save a life, but hers is saved as well.

258. Chapter 256

Its seven pm.

Edward and I are standing here, outside Carlisle and Esme's house.

My heart is pounding; with each beat, it throbs in my ears. My palms are sweating.

Edward squeezes my hand. "It'll be fine."

I breathe… and nod. "Come on, we have to go now. If we don't, I'll never tell them."

Edward smiles but says nothing and we walk toward their front door.

He knocks and I hear Esme happily alerting Carlisle that we're here.

Then she's opening the door, all bubbly and happy.

"Hello," she says, practically pulling us through the door. "It's great to see you. Come on, dinner's on the table."

"Oh," I say, this detail adding to the nerves. I mean seriously, turning up late to the dinner at which you're going to tell you to-be-in-laws that you're pregnant? That's gotta be bad. "Sorry if we're late."

She shakes her head, "Nonsense."
