I'm Not Some Fragile Flower, I'm A Woman

Bella's point of view

Much later that night, I was back in the kitchen, eating a bowl of beef soup that Esme was kind enough to make me, when Eric, Pam, & Tara walked into the house. I heard his voice as soon as he entered & left my half eaten food on the counter as I jumped down from the stool & ran to him. I ran straight into his arms, holding him tightly as I pressed my face to his chest, while his own strong arms wrapped around me, pulling me even tighter against his tall frame. His head then dropped to my neck, breathing in my scent as my name passed his beautiful lips in a soft, breathy whisper.

"Mm...I have missed you so much, Eric," I said a short while later, pulling back slightly to stare up at his handsome face, a soft smile curving my lips.

He just smiles at my words, lifting my face with his hands cupping my face gently, as his slowly leaned down to press the most tender kiss to my lips, I about swooned. My fingers tightened in the back of his jacket as his lips softly moved against my own, a soft mewl passing my lips as he slowly deepened the kiss.

We were soon interrupted by Pam, who said, "Well, as hot as this all is, aren't you going to introduce us?"

Breaking apart reluctantly, I gave everyone a sheepish grin, before starting introductions, "Pam, Tara, this my family, Jasper, as you know, Alice, the small hyper girl there with short, spiky hair, Rose, the tall, very beautiful girl, & the guy she's sitting on, is her mate, Emmett, & then that's Esme & her husband, Carlisle. Everyone, this is, Pam & Tara." I then walked over to Carlisle, my hand in Eric's as I pulled him with me, & when I came to a stop before Carlisle, I said, "Carlisle, this is Eric, he's also my other mate." He was a bit surprised at this news, but he quickly got over it, seeing how happy I was & shook Eric's hand.

Eric's point of view

"A pleasure to meet you, Sir," I said, meeting his eyes as I shook his hand, a smile curving my lips as I brought Bella into my side by wrapping an arm around her waist. "Bella's told me a lot about your family, as did Jasper & I just hope we all can get to know each other better."

"I'm sure we will, Eric, all we all want is for our Bella to be happy," says Carlisle with a smile, pulling back to wrap his arm around Esme & pulling her into his side, she smiles up into her husband's eyes, agreeing to his words as his head bends down to kiss her gently.

"I will do my best to make her happy, Sir, but first I have to take of your other son, Edward, I'm sorry, but he has to be taught a lesson about touching what is not his." I said, holding Bella closer, as I kissed her forehead.

"I understand, Eric, & though it saddens both Esme & myself, I know what Edward did to Bella needs a firmer punishment than what I could ever give him." says Carlisle, his eyes filled with both understanding & sadness at what Edward has become.

"I promise not to kill him if I can help it, Carlisle, but I will not have any interference from your cousins, in my punishment of him." I tell him, staring him straight in the eyes so he know my seriousness in this situation.

"I understand, & I will go call Eliezer, he is the leader of the Denali family." Says Carlisle before kissing Esme one last time, before turning & going to his office to make the call, just as there was a loud knock at the front door with an louder..."HONEY WE'RE HOME!"
