A big thank you to my awesome beta hapakids! You are amazing and I thank you for all your quickness and help.

I feel something rubbing across my cheek, as I feel myself waking up. I blink my eyes open and see Edward laying next to me stroking my cheek with the back of his finger. I smile at him and he smiles back. "Good morning, Beautiful." He greeted me.
"Hi." I say in a low voice. Edward bends his head to kiss me, I close my eyes, and then snap my hand to my mouth to block him.
"What?" He asks puzzled, a little bit of hurt washing through his eyes.
"I haven't brushed my teeth in two days, Edward." I mumble
"Well, I haven't either, so they cancel each other out." He states while moving my hand away from my mouth. He leans in and places a soft kiss on my lips. I smile and he kisses me again. Suddenly I feel his tongue sweep over my bottom lip which instantly sends tingly sensations throughout my body and I hear the tiniest of moan escape me. I open my mouth and I feel his tongue on mine. It isn't overtly sexual, but it is soft, and loving, careful. It causes me to moan just a little bit more. I run my fingers though his hair and I am met with a soft moan from Edward which makes my heart soar. We continue kissing and holding each other until I hear a low gasp from across the room. Edward and I both look up to see Carlisle and Esme standing in the doorway with smiles on their faces. Esme is holding her hands to her chest and I can see tears forming in her eyes.
"Mamma, **non piangere. Sto bene adesso. [Mom, don't cry. I'm alright now.]" I say to her holding out my hand to her. She crosses to me and envelops me into a gentle hug, essentially pushing Edward out of the bed. I heard him chuckle as his feet hit the floor.
"**Si, si. Vedo che. [Yes, yes. I see that.]" She says looking into my eyes. "Don't ever do that to me again Isabella! My heart can't take it. You gave me more than a few new gray hairs."
"Mom!" I cry out laughing, but then my ribs remind me that laughing and broken ribs are not the best combination and I wince.
"Oh, Bella! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have joked." She says with worry in her eyes.
"Really, I am fine. Apparently the only time broken ribs don't hurt is when you are laying in bed." I say, sighing and leaning back into the pillow.
"Laying in bed and kissing my son." She says under her breath and she smiles. I feel like I am blushing fifty shades of different reds.
"Mom!" I heard Edward loudly sigh from across the room. He walks over and sits on the bed next to me and takes my hand.
"What? I am not at all surprised!" Esme says. "I have hoped that you two would find each other, I just never wanted to push." Esme smiles and cups my cheeks with her hands and smiles and kisses my forehead. She then takes my hand and puts it together with Edwards and looks at the both of us. **Amatevi e prendersi cura l' uno dell'altro sempre. Sono cosi felice I miei bambini si sono ritrovati il cuore finalmente. [Love each other and take care of each other always. I am so happy my babies have found each others hearts finally.]" I have tears in my eyes as I look at the woman who became my mother give us her blessing. Edward gives his mother a kiss on her cheek and then gives me a soft kiss on my lips.
I hear a throat clear and glance up to see Carlisle standing. He crosses the room and stops at my bed. He leans down and we come together forehead to forehead. "My Bella, you are my daughter and I thought...don't...I can't loose you. You make my family whole. You complete The Cullen's." And for the first time since I have known him, I see Carlisle crying. He pulls away and wipes away his tears, stands taking my hand in his. "Don't think we won't be talking about this later when you are home." He says as he kisses my hand and smiles. And I know he is talking about my working at the diner. He turns to Edward. "Son, we have business that needs both of our attention. Your mother will stay with Bella while we are gone." And then like a switch of a button, the doting father is replaced with the feared Mafia King.
Edward gives his mother a kiss on her cheek again and then looks at me. "I will be back as soon as I can." With that he kisses me softly again and I reach my hand to stroke his cheek. His hand grabs mine and he kisses my knuckles, too. As he turns to walk away I feel the need to grab his hand and hold him for just a moment longer. "**Per favore, essere al sicuro [Please be safe.]"
"**Sempre [Always.]" he replies with one more kiss. And then he and his father are out the door.
Just a short one tonight! I wanted to save the big revenge scene for tomorrow. So don't forget to come back tomorrow for that one. Please leave me some love if you feel moved to do so. Love to you all and see you tomorrow.
