I Feel Like A Monster (Bella/Cullen Family)

[Edward Cullen]

He had spent the whole night just pacing around his room, considering all the possible outcomes for the day and none seemed good. Sure, they were a family of vegetarian vampires but they still had temptation for human blood, specially Jasper and himself in this case, so that would be the biggest challenge of the day. He took a deep breath and headed outside of his room, heading towards the closest bathroom, he knew there was no need for him to shower since all the toxins that made people smell bad were gone from his system ever since he had turned into a vampire but it gave him a relaxing way to think, besides, it made him feel a little less like the monster he was and more like the human he yearned to be again. Over the last couple of weeks Bella had found out what he and his family were and had also confronted him about it, however she didn't do it out of fear, no, she had confessed her desire to be with him, a desire whom he also held for her. They also had gone public some days later, it was kind of comical in fact, with all the staring and gossip going around in school. It was odd how she had changed his way of thinking so much. Before they met he was like an empty shell, always depressed, always pessimistic. But now, he felt happy, he actually felt happy and it was because of her. He wasn't alone anymore, and despite her being human they were somehow making it work. Turning off the shower, he wrapped a towel around his waist and returned to his room, rapidly changing into a navy blue shirt and jeans before heading dropping from his window to the ground below, why take the stairs if you can do that? He however had to take his Volvo, as appealing as it was to just run to Bella's house, he still had to pretend he was a seventeen year old guy to the rest of the town. He went to the garage, grabbing his keys and stepping inside the car, smiling at the purr emitted by the engine, yeah, he loved his car there was no denying that. Checking his watch he realized that he was going to get late if he didn't leave now, so he opened the garage door and sped off to the Swan residence at top speed, he wouldn't crash, he was better than that. words: 468 | Tagged: Bella/Cullen Family this template was made by ZOE of caution 2.0 !

The flames of thirst licked up his throat every day, searing his esophagus nonstop until he got home away from the scent of the humans. The end of the day never came quick enough for him and even though Alice was always watching ahead for him, watching for the moment that he would weaken and fail, he thought he would surely give up to his bloodlust and kill again. But the moment he even considered it, the visions in her head swirled and it would just take a touch or a look, though he usually knew before she could even give those signs. He could feel the terror swell up in her and it hurt him even more to think that he was the one causing her to feel afraid. He would calm her, harden his resolve, and go on with the day. His reaction to Bella's scent was nowhere near as powerful as Edward's. He knew the particular allure of her blood to him. He could feel it tempt him and feel Edward's self-loathing as he even considered it. But he had known, too, that Bella had made him curious and he had drawn closer to satiate that curiosity. Jasper had tried to warn him and discourage him, knowing that the strength to resist her blood could not always be guaranteed and that he might one day slip up. The closer he got to her, the more people would point to the slightly odd, out-of-place Cullens and there was too much of a chance that they would discover who they truly were. In the end, Edward had continued his relationship with the girl, soon appearing everywhere at school with her and leaving during the night to visit her. And then she'd learned their secret, one that Jasper was not so certain she could be trusted with. Then again, it would only take a moment to silence her...but no, they would suspect them and though it would be easy to outrun the authorities, no one in the family would like the idea of uprooting once again, though their lack of aging made it a frequent necessity. And now Bella was coming to their house to officially meet the family, though everyone, save perhaps Esme, had already seen her already. Carlisle had treated her on a few occasions, as Bella seemed unusually clumsy even for a human. Jasper was nervous about this meeting, almost as nervous as Edward, and had told his adoptive brother that he would be keeping his distance as much as possible until he could be sure he wouldn't actually kill her. He had the most trouble resisting human blood of all his family and all it would take was one moment of lost concentration for him to slip. "Alice?" he asked her as they prepared for Bella's arrival. "You won't let me too close?" he said, half-requesting that she do this for him and half-stating that he knew she would keep him at a safe distance. He couldn't betray Edward like that.

[atrb=width,240] Ohhh that Edward!. He was going to get it. She'd spent the past few days looking into her future to see when she and Jasper could spend some alone time together. But no! He'd just had to go and change their future. She was not prepared for this and there wasn't many times when she was unprepared. Alice flitted around hers and Jasper's room getting herself ready for the arrival of her new best friend. Bella. Edward had chosen to reveal this to her a the last minute. Me out of all people. Last! Alice thought to herself. For a mere second she was still; leaning close to the mirror Alice applied a small amount of lip gloss to her lips. "Alice?" Jasper asked as studied herself in the mirror. Beauty took time and time was all she had. Alice smiled, if she'd been a human her heart would be racing in her chest. Calm down she told herself. No need to get over excited. But she couldn't help i. This was a big deal for Edward. He'd found his missing puzzle piece. His own Jasper. And if this went well the human would be his Bella. "You wont let me get too close?" Jasper's question, which sounded more like a statement, rang through her ears. It snapped her out of her thoughts. Alice knew that this wouldn't only be hard for Edward but Jasper too. He was new to the Cullen's life-style and the possibility of hurting Bella was getting to him. He was unsure of himself like he was most of the time when he was around humans. Alice wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his chest. Even though they both had extremely cold skin; Jasper's body was warm against hers. She smiled and looked up at him. Her southern gentleman. "I promise you wont hurt her." She'll like you. She'll understand."

The good night's sleep she had wanted to get had eluded her. She was just too nervous to sleep so she had gotten up several times during the night to plan out the outfit she was wanting to wear to the Cullen house. Unfortunately though everytime she had gotten up, she would change her mind about the outfit she had previously picked out. Bella was terribly nervous. She and Edward had grown closer over the past weeks or so and even began going very public with their odd pairing relationship. There were already a lot of rumors and gossip about the two of them but Bella didn't care. The only thing that she cared about was being with Edward. It was a little scary just how much they needed each other and how fast it had happened. After fighting to get another hour or two of sleep and only succeeding a small bit, Bella gave up. She shoved herself out of the bed and forced herself NOT to change the outfit for the hundredth time. Instead of doing that, she grabbed her bathroom items and headed into the bathroom to get a shower. Charlie was just now stirring and she knew that he had plans already. So she had to hurry only a bit so that she would be finished before he actually got up out of the bed. Once she was finished and had put a clip in her hair, she headed downstairs to fry up some egss, cook some bacon and make some toast for Charlie so he wouldn't have to worry about it himself. Bella settled on a light breakfast and ended up just having a bowl of cereal. After finishing her breakfast, Charlie had came downstairs by this time. They chatted for several moments before Bella told him that she had to get ready. He told her that he would be leaving just as soon as his breakfast was finished. They hugged briefly and parted ways. Bella returned upstairs and brushed her teeth for the second time. She applied a small amount of perfume. She didn't want to offend the vampire's sensitive sense of smell. It wasn't long before she heard Charlie's cruiser pull out of the driveway. Bella gave it only a minute or two before she went to the window and looked out. She wasn't surprised to see the silver Volvo now sitting in Charlie's once vacant car spot. A smile crept over her face without even being conscious of it. Her heart started thudding harder at just the sight of his car. The actual sight of him caused her heart to beat even harder. As she made her way downstairs, Bella wondered if there was going to be any hostility from any of his family, especially Rosalie or would they all be on their best behavior? Was Edward just as worried as she was?Bella reached the door knob and opened the door leading out of her house only to come face to face with Edward. He took her breathe away. "Hi."

He had a lot of time to think in the short travel between his house and the Swan household, mostly he thought about how his family would react to he presence, it could be very bad or very good depending on his luck. He took a deep, unnecessary breath as his Volvo came to a stop in front of her house in the not-so-long-ago occupied parking space that had been left by Charlie's police cruiser, he was ready or so he thought, besides it wasn't that big of a deal, just his girlfriend getting to his place to meet his family...which were vampires. It seemed better the previous day when he had decided to invite her to their house. There was no turning back now though, no, that option had been lost the moment they both had declared their love for each other at the meadow, no, THEIR meadow. He stepped out of his beloved Volvo, getting a glimpse of movement from the corner of his eye, he looked up, managing to see Bella for a moment before she disappeared from sight only to come out the front door, ending face to face with him. He smiled as the rapid beats of her heart reached his ears, it made him happy to get such a reaction from her. "Hey, are you ready?" He asked her, keeping the smile on his face as he did, his mood really brightened when he was around Bella and it was more than obvious to everybody, she was in essence, his sun. He gently took her hand, guiding her towards his Volvo so they could get on their way. The journey to the outskirts of Forks was uneventful to say the least, while happy, Edward was ultimately too nervous to really relax and good reasons he had to be so, he was taking her too a house full of vampires. The funny part though was that she wasn't afraid of that, no, she was afraid they wouldn't approve of their relationship, she could be so surprising sometimes. They finally arrived to the Cullen household, parking in front of the colossal house. "Here we are." He informed her, stepping out of the car and using his superhuman speed to open the door for her. "So, what do you think?" He was curious as of what she had in mind when imagining his house, maybe she imagined a dungeon and pits and all those things portrayed in popular culture nowadays. words: 473 | Tagged: Bella/Cullen Family this template was made by ZOE of caution 2.0 !

Not from the coldness of his skin but from the electricity she always felt when they touched one another. They held each other's hands as they walked the short distance from the front porch to the passenger's side door of his shiny silver Volvo. It didn't take long and luckily she didn't slip and fall on the way to it either. Of course Edward would have caught her at even the slightest gesture that she was about to stumble. Which was a good thing because whenever they were together, she knew that she was safe from injury. Even though he was the biggest danger of all to her, he was also the biggest protection she could ever ask for. She was safe from all dangerous beings and creatures...except from him and his family. Bella didn't think about that as much as she honestly should. She always felt that Edward and the Cullen family were safe for her. She felt that she belonged there with him but at times she did tend to forget that they could kill her or set the change in a split second. It wasn't like she didn't know they were dangerous because honestly she did but she didn't want to think that they could hurt her. Bella smiled from time to time at Edward as they drove quietly more or less through the streets of Forks to the Cullen's house. It was obvious that they were both really nervous. Honestly Bella was scared that they wouldn't approve of her relationship with Edward because she was a human. Maybe they thought she wasn't good enough for him because of that fact. Bella wanted the approval of his family because she loved Edward more than she even loved herself. Her attention was brought back to the present and out of her own mind when she noticed the car slowing down and then stopping completely. As she glanced at the car window, Bella's eyes were met was a gorgeous house. Bella had figured the house would be big but this was amazing. It was huge but it suited them in her opinion. She was surprised at Edward being suddenly at her door, opening it up for her to get out. She had been spacing out looking at his home. "Wow. This is amazing."

[/color] She said honestly. As she got out of the car and Edward closed the door behind her, she waited there for him, staring at the house. as they got closer, Bella was able to see that a lot of it was made of glass and extremely spacious. "Not exactly what I expected because it is so very open."[/color] She stated, looking at him.[/div][/style][/td][/tr][/table]

He could feel her every mood and she watched vigilantly for his thoughts as reflected in his future. They knew each other so intimately all without having to be so obviously lovey-dovey like Emmett and Rosalie. Not that either of them was wrong for having that kind of relationship, but it just wasn't in Jasper's nature to be like that. The blond vampire watched Alice as she applied her makeup and made the last tweaks to make sure she was absolutely perfect for Bella's arrival, clearly adoring of her in his subtle way. It was in the softness of his gaze, the slight curvature of his lips into a smile. But it still couldn't completely take his mind off his worries and he asked his question after rising restlessly from a Victorian sofa in their room. Jasper lingered a few feet behind Alice, not wanting to crowd her, but needing to be close to her to soothe his very real worries. He couldn't let her down, couldn't let the family down, and he wouldn't be able to live with himself if he killed Bella. As much as he had disapproved initially, he could not deny that Edward had a special bond with her, perhaps the same kind of bond Jasper shared with Alice. And he knew that if anyone did anything to even attempt to hurt Alice, he wouldn't know what to do. He felt his pixie-like mate wrap her arms around him comfortingly and his eyes slipped close as he returned her embrace, breathing in her sweet scent, languishing in the warmth of her body against his own. It was so strange that two cold people could seem so warm to each other, but he never questioned it. His smile returned as she looked up at him, uttering her soft reassurances. His voice slipped momentarily into a faint Texas drawl, an accent that had largely been trained out of him by decades of living in the North. "You're too good to me, y'know?" He leaned down slightly to place a kiss on the tip of her nose. "My little monster," he said with a gentle smirk. How could he ever doubt her? The soft sound of tires crunching up the driveway caught his attention and he reluctantly drew his eyes away from Alice to look out the window. Ever so faintly he could taste Bella's scent in the deep breath he inhaled. It sent a single tongue of flame up his throat and he winced softly at the expected, but too-soon temptation. "They're here," he murmured quietly. He swallowed hard and shifted his focus to breathing carefully, then deciding to abandon that altogether when the scent--and the pain--only became stronger. He focused instead on Alice's emotions--excitement for meeting Bella, worry for him, nervousness...it was so much easier to focus on her, allowing his thirst to fall by the wayside. "Shall we?" he asked after taking a moment to compose himself, offering his arm to Alice.

Most of the time when people thought of vampires, they thought of bald monsters with pointed ears that lived in dungeons and that could turn into bats at will, but it was quite the opposite, they couldn't know that though. "Well, this is the only place where we can be ourselves without worrying about humans. Besides, an old spooky looking castle with dungeons would be too suspicious, better go with the modern look don't you think?" He explained to her, as they neared the front door. He knew that the rest of the family was aware they had arrived already, they had super hearing after all. If his heart could beat, he was sure it would be going into cardiac arrest due to the nervousness he was experiencing at the prospect of bringing his reason of existence to the reach of his family, which while having self-control could also slip up and attack her. "We should probably get inside, they are anxious to meet you." He informed her, taking her hand and guiding her to the entrance, opening the door for her and stepping in after she had done so herself. "This will probable be really awkward so bear on me." Awkward was an understatement, a house full of vampires meeting a human girl...out of town with no sort of help for said human girl if anything goes wrong, yeah, tension was going to be at its highest. He closed his eyes as he heard the faint sound of Italian music playing on the background and the smell of food filling the house. He had asked them to not do something like that, but it seemed like they didn't listen to him. "I told them not to do this." He spoke to her before they could go upstairs, yeah, this was going to be a really awkward. words: 340 | Tagged: Bella/Cullen Family this template was made by ZOE of caution 2.0 !

[atrb=width,240] Alice heard the tires of Edwards car pull into the driveway. They were here. Pulling Jazz with her Alice pushed open their window and step out onto a tree limb, this had been one of her many ways to move throughout the Cullen house. With so many tree’s surrounding the house Alice could walk to everyone’s window on a tree. Squeezing Jasper's hand Alice stopped outside the kitchen window and pulled him to her once more; she was worried about him. This would be hard for him and she knew it. She’d seen the effect Bella had on Edward and Alice couldn’t help but to think Jazz’s would be worse. "Are you sure you wan to do this? No one wants you to do anything your not sure about." Alice said barely above a whisper. Her bell like voice was muffled from her burying her face in his chest but she knew he could hear her. She looked up at him withe a worried glance but her mood changed and it turned to a reassuring smile. She couldn't imagine anywhere else she wanted to be in this moment. It was perfect but the voices from inside the kitchen reached her ears and she quickly stood on her tip toes and kissed Jasper's cheek. Taking hold of Jasper's hand Alice lead him through the window and into the Kitchen where Esme and Carlisle were cooking Italian food from the smell of it. Rosalie and Emmett stood next the counter; there was a bunch of glass at Rose's feet and Alice knew it wasn't going good. But when she saw Bella Alice skipped over and hugged her. While embracing the human girl Alice caught a whiff of her scent and let go. "Hi Bella I'm Alice." Alice smiled taking her spot next to Jasper.

Distantly the fuzzy memories of his human life came to him, climbing up into some tree when he was young, only to be scolded later by his mother for dirtying and ripping his clothes. Life was so much simpler when all he had to fear was his mother's wrath. Jasper followed Alice out onto the tree limb with a grace that was not completely unlike her neat, nimble dancing steps. His movements were more smooth and controlled, just another hint at the power his lean body held that was not widely advertised to the world. He wasn't as strong as Emmett--no one was--but standing beside that hulking man led to one being taken for granted. He felt Alice squeeze his hand and his fingers flexed instinctively and a small, crooked smile appeared on his face. She truly was his world. His smile lingered for a bit at her concern, not only expressed verbally but radiating off her in waves. But then his face shifted slightly in consternation. He didn't want to hurt Bella, knowing what she meant to Edward, but he was also so tired of being the weakest link. If Edward could resist her blood, so could he. With Alice by his side, he could do this. He just might have to keep his distance. But that would be fine. She'd understand. "I'll be fine, love. I can be strong enough for this," he murmured against her hair as he held her close to him. He could hold his breath, hover close to Alice so that when he did need to inhale, her scent would at least partially mask Bella's. Gently he smiled as she turned her face up to him, struck once again by the beauty in her petite features. "Besides, you promised me I wouldn't hurt her," he whispered. Hopefully Edward was far too entangled in Bella and his nervousness to hear their thoughts. It was nice to think that he and Alice could have a private moment from time to time. A slight narrowing of his eyes was the only indication as he cloaked Alice in a feeling of love and contentment, gently easing away her fears. If she worried too much about him, Edward would hear her and cut Bella's visit short. The last thing Jasper wanted was to be an inconvenience. Alice kissed him quickly as they heard voices in the kitchen and then they continued down the tree to the limb that led into the kitchen. He stroked the side of Alice's palm with his thumb as she led the way through the window and he took a deep gulp of air before he immersed himself in the human-saturated air. Rosalie's frame was rigid and Emmett was already going to her to soothe her and it took less than a minute to see the glass and figure out a general idea of what had happened. To help Emmett, Jasper sampled Rose's emotions and then worked to make her body relax, uncoiling tight muscles and layering her with calming emotions. Jasper felt a breath of cold air brush suddenly past his hand and realized that Alice had released him to bound enthusiastically over to the human girl. No, he had to stop thinking of her as 'a human girl.' She was Bella, Edward's Bella. That made it a little easier to stop the images of him bent over her neck to drain her body dry. His eyes connected momentarily with Edward's and guilt washed over him, hoping Edward had not seen that but knowing he surely had. His back straightened just that little bit more and he held himself carefully at bay, dipping his head slightly in greeting to Bella. "Welcome, Bella," he said, his voice sounding a bit stiff as if he could barely get the words past his teeth, which were clenched slightly in concentration.

After all, considering the Cullen family already stood out from the rest of Forks with their unbelieveable beauty and extreme grace and such, adding an outrageous house to the list of things would just be another bad notch against them. "Consider you guys already stand out, it is a good thing that you went with something a little more modern to follow the times and styles of other homes. Not like many Forks residents have huge houses."

[/color] Bella smiled at Edward, letting him know that no matter what she said, she loved the house and that it definitely fit them. "It definitely fits you and your family."[/color]

Bella knew that every member of his family was able to hear the rapid beating of her heart as they moved closer and then finally actually inside the house. She was so very nervous but she was battling with herself on the inside to keep herself from going into panic mode. No, Bella wasn't scared of them, she was only scared that they wouldn't approve of her or her relationship with Edward. She knew that she wouldn't be able to exist without him now and prayed hard that they would be okay with them being together. That was just how much and how tightly Bella was caught up in Edward and him in her. If it came down to them not able to be together, Bella wasn't sure she'd even be able to live without him. Edward took Bella's slightly shaking hand and walked her into the house. The smell that she smelled from Edward was definitely in this house but there also was another form of that smell and she chalked it up to possibly being his family's scent. Although it didn't appeal to her like Edward's scent did. "I'm ready."[/color] She said with a smile.

As they moved further into the house on their way to meeting them, the smell of cooking food drifted to Bella's nose. She was shocked and turned with a questioning glance to Edward. Apparently he sensed the question on her lips and answered her before she was able to even ask. She then smiled, leaning close to him. "That was very nice of them."[/color] The initial meeting went well as they finally made it into the kitchen area. Everyone seemed to take kindly to her with the except of Rosalie who wasn't making her dislike of Bella unknown. Even though the hostility from Rosalie made Bella extremely nervous, she was thankful that the others seem to accept her. Bella was taken aback when Alice and Jasper came into the room with Alice leading them. The smile on her face made her know that Alice had no problems with her but the look on Jasper's face was a little confusing and uncomfortable to her as well. "Hi Alice."[/color] Bella finally said after hugging Alice back. Then her attention was drawn to the Southern sound of Jasper's greeting to her. "Hi Jasper. It's nice to meet you. All of you."[/color] Bella's gaze fell on each family member in turn except the gaze she used to look at Rosalie was very fleeting. Not wanting to anger the blond any more than she already was.

[Carlisle Cullen]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=background,http://www.webdesignermag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/step8.jpg] [style=font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: 24px; color: #c4a600; text-transform: lowercase; text-shadow: #3f3200 1px 1px 0px; font-style: italic;]Carlisle Cullen Carlisle had heard much about Isabella Swan prior to treating her after Edward saved her life from the near fatal accident. The fact of the matter was that her father was the chief of police. It put Carlisle and Charlie Swan together on several occasions for slight chit chat that, regardless of the moment, was usually about Isabella or as he called her ‘Bells’. Carlisle found it rather refreshing when he finally met the infamous Isabella Swan, if only briefly. When Edward explained that Bella would be joining them, Carlisle was more than pleased that Edward was finally opening up to someone outside the family and the Denalis. Edward was starting to take interest in someone who might well be his soul mate, though it was hard to tell as their were still signs of struggling to control himself. Carlisle remained confident in Edward as he’d always been and instead focussed on how the others would react to the girl’s presence. He was well aware of Rosalie’s frustration with the girl, Emmett acting as a kind of buffer in his own way. It not, so much, them that he was worried about as it was Jasper. He knew of Jasper’s still short time away from a diet of human blood and though Carlisle had great faith in Jasper’s control he knew that Alice could only control him so much. Carlisle put a simple thought of thanks that they had all hunted recently and would be less afflicted by the thirst, aware that it was only such. None of them had the amount of experience he had, but he ceased thinking about that as the sound of Bella’s arrival entered earshot. He and Esme had opted to prepare a meal for the girl. The thought of putting the unused kitchen to use was humorous to him, the choice being Italian. He tuned out the background noise that was the cooking channel on the television hung under one of the many cabinets to focus leave more space to focus on the other members of his family. The meal was nearly finished, the tossing of the salad and cutting of vegetables left to Esme and Rosalie, the intent to have it prepared before the end of Bella’s visit so she would not return home to her father unfed. He disregarded Edward’s complaint to Bella with a small smile and turned back to preparing the pasta. He was cut off at the sound of Alice and Jasper’s voices, closely followed by Bella’s and swiveled on his heels to face their guest, a warmer smile formed on his lips. She appeared extremely at ease even in the presence of seven vampires, though this did not surprise him. For one their were their alluring vampiric traits, but the other was what Edward explained as a disregard for her own safety. Carlisle was curious about this fact though he would not voice it openly unless prompted, it was something he was sure he would either experience in time or discuss later. For the moment all eyes were on the Bella who had captivated the attentions of each member of the coven. Prying himself away from his task he moved closer to Esme, is eyes never leaving Bella, and placed his hands on her shoulders softly. The closeness was at this point enough for him to get a tiny hint of the girl’s scent though it hardly phased him in the slightest. He collected his thoughts, analyzed Bella’s body language and facial expression and picked the precise moment to introduce himself. “Welcome Bella, to our home, it’s so nice of you to visit us.” He exclaimed in his calming, melodic voice. “We’ve heard quite a bit about you.” words: 624 - tagged: EDWARD/BELLA/CULLENS - notes: First post, "The Cullens" New Moon Track for muse.

If he weren't so worried about himself, he might have allowed a faint smile to twist the corners of his lips, but as it was his face was strained and rather blank of all other emotion. His intention was not to alarm the human girl, but he could feel her discomfort all the same. Still, he was a naturally reserved person and he thought anyways that it might be better for everyone if he did not try to be overly friendly with Bella. He didn't want to become too comfortable with her presence, as any lapse in concentration on his part could end disastrously. His golden eyes briefly scanned the room, taking in Rosalie's tense posture, Emmett's attempts at soothing her, and Carlisle and Esme's slightly worried expressions. He wasn't sure if they were more disturbed by Rosalie's reaction or worried about his control, but as his eyes connected with Carlisle's, he gave an almost imperceptible nod. He was being careful. For your sake, Edward, he thought briefly. With all of the differing emotions in the household, they had one common thread: a curiosity about this human girl who was brave enough--or stupid enough, especially in his and Rosalie's minds--to enter a house of vampires. Carlisle extended a warm welcome to Bella and Jasper knew he would not need to calm her himself, as the man's voice and manner was extremely calming as it were. He wrapped an arm around Alice's waist gently and gave her a quick, but loving gaze. He didn't need to do anything more to express himself to her and he inhaled deeply to take in her scent, momentarily masking the fire-inducing human.

"Dr. Cullen and Mrs. Cullen. It's good to finally meet you both. Well somewhere outside of the hospital anyway."

[/color] Bella said with a small nervous laugh. Bella couldn't help but notice that Esme Cullen was just as beautiful as either Rosalie or Alice. She was slightly rounder than either girls but still she was extremely breath taking. Several times Bella caught herself glancing at Esme. The motherly feeling was rolling off the woman in thick waves and honestly it was a nice feeling. She could just tell without a doubt that Esme was a gentle, (as gentle as a vampire could be), kind, loving woman. Bella liked her already. Actually she liked them all. Except for maybe Rosalie at the moment.

Bella looked at Edward once the room began going silent as everyone either looked tense or lost on what to do next. She crossed her around herself and wondered if she should say something considering she was the guest or just wait until one of the Cullen's should speak. Being a little braver than she actually felt, Bella stole a slow glance between each of the Cullen family members, starting with the pixie girl Alice. She took in how her hair pretty much pointed in every direction and the aura of sheer happiness surrounded her. Next was Jasper. He still looked like he was having an internal battle but honestly there was something about him that she just couldn't place her finger on just yet. Next was Emmett. Yup, he still scared her because he was so big and powerful but she wasn't exactly scared of him personally really. Bella decided not to even try to venture a look at Rosalie. So she skipped right on to Carlisle. Goodness just wafted off of him. Next to last was Esme. The mother of all the adopted vampire Cullen children. Very beautiful and her big heart was obvious. Last but not lease, Bella looked at Edward again. He seemed to be deep in thought.

[atrb=width,240] Alice watched as the rest of her family got acquainted with the human girl; so good so far despite Rosalie. Alice rolled her eyes at her sister's jealousy and watched as Bella observed Esme. No doubt she found the woman enchanting. Esme was physically the oldest member of the Cullen coven while Jasper was the youngest to join the life-style. Esme was truly wonderful, her motherly affection towards everyone no matter their species made her easy to love. Carlisle, the 'father' of the Cullen children, was equally loving as Esme. He's very understanding and isn't quick to judge. Things a father needs and the Cullen kids were lucky to have in theirs. Alice felt Jasper wrap his arm around her waist and she shot a quick glance at him. She smiled noticing that he'd inhaled her scent so he wouldn't have to be bothered by Bella's. She caught his gaze and gave a small smile and looked back to their family. She took his free hand in hers and intertwined her fingers with his. She instantly felt herself calm down a little and instead her excitement was replaced with admiration and love. She grinned to herself and watched as Edward submerged himself in his thoughts. Alice sighed quietly as she felt the need to gaze at Jasper but instead settled on looking out the window and up at the sky. The familiar scents of those around her, the outdoor scents, and of the house itself smothered her in humbleness. Jasper’s scent was the most prominent and then Edwards which was intertwined with Bella’s sweet scent. The humans scent would soon be one she was going to smell constantly and Alice worried for Jazz. But at the same time it didn’t bother her, because she knew Jazz had control of himself and she was there to help in any way she could. Seeing as how she detested drinking human blood when she was a new born Alice couldn’t imagine what the others had to go through. Alice looked over at her brooding brother than at her grizzly older brother. Emmett was trying to calm his wife down while Edward was thinking very seriously about something. Whatcha’ thinking about?[/i] Alice asked Edward mentally; fully understanding that he could hear her.
