Part 2 - Meeting The Family
They pulled up at his parents' place, and she smiled softly to herself, for she could see his own smile grow as they pulled up, and she knew he was happy to be at his parents' house and be around the people that he loved and cared for the most until she came into his life again.
He turned the engine off, and the two got out of the car, he took her hand in his, and it made her smile more easily, for she already did love him in the way a girlfriend should do with her boyfriend, despite they just re-met and when she left with her mother a year ago.
It had been on friendship stage, but the two had earlier in the car, talked about it all, and admitted to each other to have had feelings already back then just never admitting it to each other until today to each other.
Anyways, they got inside of the hallway, got out of their coats and shoes, and then they walked into the lively kitchen, where his parents and siblings were in, as both could hear their voices and laughter on/off aswell children making sounds. It made Bella smile, as she did love children, and would love to be a mother one day too.
Not yet though, as it was too early for the two to take that step, and luckily that was what Matt also felt about it, and they would take their time to first get know each other and see where things went from here on.
As soon they got inside, one of the children yelled;
"Uncle Matt, hey Uncle Matt is home!" And the child ran forward towards Matt, who opened his arms, while going down onto his knees, making Bella smile wider as he captured the kid who ran into his arms, and soon the other children came too and ran towards him. Bella just smiled and stood waiting for it to calm down.
After a little while, the kids went back to what they were doing, and he stood back up, while the others were confused of who was with him at first, as he said
"Hey guys." In his deep, baritonal voice, and Bella blushed slightly of their confused looks at her, as Matt then took her hand into his, and said
"Everyone, I would like to meet Bella Swan, my girlfriend."
At that they all knew who she was, and to hear the two were dating, it made them shocked at first then really happy. As his mother and father came forward, and gave her a tight hug, which made her to hug the two back, as she remembered the two from before, and his siblings from afar seeing them with him as she was leaving town with her mother years ago.
"Oh Bella, it is so good to see you again, sweetheart." Mary said, while Patrick could notice that something was different about her, but he didn't know what it was, but he too said the sentiment to her, and she just gave the two a bright smile, and said
"It is good to see you two too, Patrick, Mary. It is been too long. And how are you doing, Pat?" And Patrick smiled easier and said
"Taking it day by day, sweetheart. And you?" She shrugged abit, and said
"The same."
At that he frowned but didn't say anything, as Matt wrapped an easy arm around her waist, and it made her relax her stance abit and looked up at him with an easy, but filled of love look in her eyes and facial expression. He just looked down at her with the same look on his, and his family now could see that he looked at her with the same look that they themselves did to their own girl/woman they love and was with.
His sister, older than himself, Lesley said
"Did you what we allt think you did on Bella?" At that Matt grinned wider and said
"Yes, when she came to my classroom, to see if I still work at the college, and when our eyes met, that was when the Imprint happened."
At that they grinned or cheered loudly, as Bella flushed at the attention and how happy they were for the two, or rather for their brother, and Lesley said
"Welcome to the family officially, Bella."
And Bella thank her, as she knew that Matt's bond with Lesley, Michael and Eddie was the most close, and his relationship with the younger ones were also close, but those three were his most close with. Lesley only suspected something, but she didn't know about it or them.
But only Michael and Eddie knew about her from Matt before, for they not only got to meet her when she was last here, but also know that he had feelings for her, and it seemed to them that she returned them for their brother and that made the two happy.
Bella then was lead by Matt's hand to a seat at the table, so they could hang out and eat the dinner that the others had been working on while waiting on him to come and eat with them after work today was done.
After dinner was eaten, and dishes in the dishwasher or drying on the sink, they all went into the livingroom, to talk abit.
