He came back, and I forgave him

Part 36- Persuade

Bella's Pov

The next couple of days went by pretty fast, the Cullen's ended up staying at my house with the girls for the meantime. Edward has been really helpful, he's trying to get to know the girls more and be a father for them. He occasionally cooks for the girls when i'm at the house, we take turns to hunt, now I am able to hunt and feed myself properly. Granted I still collect blood for the girls but now I get to actually hunt and drain an animal for myself, I feel so free, so liberated, I haven't felt like this in such a long time. 

Currently we're all in the living room of my home having a family game night around the living room, the girls are having fun with their aunts and uncles, Carlisle and Esme are happily watching them fuss around with one another. Edward and I are cuddled up on one of  the couches admiring our family.

Alice is currently making a big deal how now that we're all together we have to go on a big shopping spree, "oh come on... we should go girls, it'll be fun!" Alice whinned to everyone mainly towards Lizzy and Nessie. They huffed in annoyance "We don't wanna go auntie" they both huffed in annoyance I couldn't help but snort, Alice quickly glared at me "That's Bella's DNA alright" she angrily commented, which made us all laugh because she wasn't wrong.

"You need to persuade them pix" I said as I rolled my eyes at her "What do you girls want, I'll pay for everything, do you want ice-cream, money, toys" Alice began "Mommy buys us stuff already" "We already have ice-cream" "Mommy gives us an allowance, we don't need money" the girls quickly commented earning a grunt from Alice and giggles from everyone else. "ugh why is this so hard" Alice mumbled then began thinking to herself other ways to persuade them.

I decided to check the future and I saw everything was going to be ok so I smirked, then I nonchalantly chimed in "you know girls, if you go to the mall tomorrow with us. I'll let you explore the waterfalls and everything around the property by yourselves for two hours" I said as I looked at them, this quickly caught there attention. They quickly stood up and stood in front of me, joy and excitement clearly beaming on their faces as they jumped up and down "really" "you mean it" "that's so much time" "you're not messing with us" they quickly rushed out "I mean it, come with us to the mall tomorrow, and I'll let you explore around the property by yourselves for two whole hours" I told them with a smile. "Deal" they both yelled as they qucikly hugged me and peppered me with kisses.

"AHHH THIS IS SOO EXCITING!" "I CAN'T WAIT" "WE GOTTA PACK!!" both Nessie and Lizzy yelled at each other "GOOD NIGHT MOM, DAD, AND EVERYONE" they quickly yelled as they each grabbed a blood bag from the fridge and ran away into their rooms. I laughed softly then I looked at the family, Carlisle and Esme smiling, Jasper, Emmett, and Rose quietly laughing, Edward a bit worried, and Alice well she was shocked, her mouth was literally hanging out from what just happened. "WHATT HOW" she quickly exclaimed, I just shrugged "like I said you gotta persuade them with something they liked."

"Isn't it dangerous for them?" Edward quickly chimed in worriedly, I smiled softly at him "yes, but I checked the future, they will be ok. Besides I usually tend to let them roam around nearby for 15-20 minutes, then I let them for 30 minutes, and well last time was an hour, which explains their enthusiasm for 2 hours" I explained with a laugh. "Why do they need to pacK?" both Esme and Carlisle asked curiously "they pack because on their outings they usually explore around so they take pictures with their cameras as they scrapbook, they also go hunting and well they are messy, and lastly they end up hanging around at a waterfall not that far from here, then they go far a swim." I added, they will be fine, if anything I can get to them quickly and they'll let me know if anything is wrong. 

After talking for a couple of hours we all decided to watch a movie so now Emmett is arguing with Alice and Rose on what to watch as the rest of us roll our eyes and watch them argue from the couches. "NOO WHO THE HELL WANTS TO WATCH A ROMANCE MOVIE ALICE" Emmett argued back "It's classic" she hit him on the shoulder "Let's watch a scary movie instead" Emmett reasoned "Forget that you idiots, we should watch an action movie" Rose butted in. 

"SCARY MOVIE"

"ROMANCE MOVIE"

"ACTION MOVIE"

"SCARY"

"ROMANCE"

"ACTION"

"SCARY"

"ROMANCE"

"ACTION"

I rolled my eyes at their childishness so I quickly put a movie on, which had an equal amount of romance, action, and horror. This shut them up real quick as they saw a movie playing, everyone on the couch chuckled while Alice, Rose, and Emmett looked at me with their jaws dropped.

"WHATTT" "THAT'S UNFAIR" "YOU DIDN'T EVEN LET US DECIDE" all three of them whinned "well you all took forever to choose a movie so I chose end of discussion" I simply replied as they all grumbled in response and went to sat on the sofa with their mates. "Plus I choose a movie that's a mix in between what you all wanted to watch anyways."

I ended up choosing Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016)

Plot: Jane Austen's classic story... but with zombies and sword fights.
Why it fits: Classic romance + zombie horror + sword-wielding action.

As the night went on, the girls happily sleeping in their rooms as I routinely checked in on them, the family were all cuddled with one another, blankets surrounding everyone on the sofa. Everyone clearly intrigued with the movie, would you look at that everyone ended up loving the movie I thought to myself. As I was caught up in my thoughts I didn't feel Edward wrap his arms behind me, he gently laid his head on the crook of my neck as he began to slowly kiss me. "You ok Bells" he softly murmured "yea, just thinking"  I whispered back as I kissed him on the lips.
