8. Shock

I threw my head over the toilet for the second time this morning. It's been around a week since Edward and I had had our conversation in his bed, and he thought that it was right to tell our family and friends that we're officially together.

"Bella are you okay love?" Edward asked, approaching me from the bedroom door. Ah, that term of endearment by him made shivers run down my spine.

"Yeah I'm fine. I've just got the stomach bug." I groaned, leaning my head on the toilet seat and taking a deep breath.

"Bella this has been going on for far too long now. I'm calling you a doctor." He sighed, pulling my hair away from you face as I continued being sick.

"No! No, I'm fine. I'll get better. All they'll tell me to do is rest."

"My Mom and Dad would want any excuse to see you again. They've been dying to come over. Just please let my father check you over." He pleaded with me, stroking my back with his unoccupied hand.

"Fine. But only because I want to see Carlisle and Esme again." Once I was sure that I had emptied my stomach completely, I stood up from the toilet and washed my mouth out.

It only took a phone call and 10 minutes before they arrived. Edward thought it would be best if we told Carlisle and Esme first about our relationship as they are his parents.

"Bella!" Esme squealed just as Alice would when I opened the front door of the penthouse to them. I embraced her tightly and laughed when small tears dropped from her eyes.

"Esme, don't cry!" I laughed hugging her again.

Carlisle shook his head behind me and chuckled.

"I think we've missed you just as much as our Alice and Edward has." He smiled and kissed my head once Esme let me go.

"Probably not as much as I've missed you all. I'm so glad I'm home now." I grinned, stepping back into Edward's arms.

Esme and Carlisle both raised their eyebrows and gave each other a knowing look.

"Yes." Edward chuckled, and placed his hand on my hip. "Me and Bella made it official."

Esme squealed as loudly as last time and charged towards both of us. She wrapped us both in a hug and kissed both of our cheeks.

"I KNEW IT!" She stated, pointing at Carlisle. "WHAT DID I SAY?" She said, hugging Edward tighter to her and kissing his cheek.

"Oh I'm so happy! Wait until I tell Carmen! She'll be absolutely thrilled!"

"Mom, Mom calm down a little." Edward laughed, his grip on my waist lessening as he hugged his Mom back.

"But Edward, I'm just so happy! You two are going to make the most beautiful pair." She sniffed, wiping away a stray tear from her cheek. Esme Cullen, one of the most lovely women on this planet, was crying over the fact that her son had a girlfriend. I loved Esme and Carlisle.

"Okay, I'm sorry to burst your bubble dear, but I'd like to check Bella over." Carlisle smiled and gave Edward an amused look. Edward kissed my temple and he and Esme went towards the kitchen while Carlisle took me through to my bedroom.

"How have you been Bella?" He asked, patting the bed for my to get onto. After I had crawled into the centre of my cushions I sighed. Do I tell him the truth? He is a doctor after all and he can maybe give me advice. But I just don't know.

"I've been okay. Edward's helped me through some rubbish that's gone on with moving here. But I've been okay. Since I've been with him." Carlisle smiled to himself and opened up his medical bag. He went over some vital things, such as taking my temperature and blood pressure.
