《✔️Ambrosia (Edward Cullen) BOOK ONE》22 - "The Cullens"

Emmett frowned as he watched Ambrosia cutting the chicken under her fingertips into relatively symmetrical strips. The muscly man rose an eyebrow in slight confusion, clenching and unclenching his hand that held his own knife before he followed her movements, cutting easily into the perfect strips.
"They don't need to be perfect" her voice was soft and he smiled at her, watching as she continued cooking with Esme's gentle golden eyes on her. It was the day that the Cullen parents finally got to meet Bella Swan and somehow, they had ended up cooking for her. Carlisle glared at the open book on the cupboard as he read it.
"A dash" he mouthed to himself as he held the oil in his hand before he quickly splashed a drop and then looked between the bottle and the pan again. "Dash"
"A little bit more." Ambrosia directed softly and watched as he did so. The doctor grinned in victory when he had completed it before turning his golden gaze back to the book again as Edward appeared behind his girlfriend, snaking his arms around her waist softly.
"Here comes the other human" Rosalie hummed and they all exchanged glances as Fred and Bella finally rounded the corner. The boy's eyes swept over them with a slightly irritated look as Bella smiled uncomfortably from his side.
"Bella, this is everyone" he hummed, shortly noticing his twin brothers quirked eyebrow, urging him to continue. "Esme, Bella... Bella, Esme... Our mother for all intents and purposes" he coughed and she smiled and allowed Esme to hug her softly.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Bella, I hope you're hungry" Esme grinned as she joined Edward and Ambrosia's side.
"You gave us an excuse to use the kitchen." Carlisle beamed happily as he swirled the oil around the pan. Carlisle Cullen was a man who loved to master new things, so it was the perfect chance for him to develop a new hobby, even if he could never try any of the food himself.

"Oh-- Yes, totally" Bella nodded stutteringly and Fredrick scoffed, looking down at her.
"She already ate."
"Oh," Esme sighed. "Well, no mind. More for Ambrosia" the matriarch beamed at the curly-haired girl in question who grinned back in return. Rosalie, on the other hand, just scoffed and threw the knife down onto the counter a bit aggressively, having been chopping salad to put into the bowl Edward was holding.
"Brilliant"
The uncomfortable atmosphere that quickly flowed through the room, ended as soon as it started with Alice and Jasper hopping through the window in a very inhuman mannerism. The Cullen mansion was the one place they didn't have to hide, and it made her smile that they so eagerly expressed their enhanced abilities now.
"Hi, Bella" Alice beamed, hopping into the kitchen and Edward hid his smirk in Ambrosia's hair, pulling her close to his side as Fredrick visibly rolled his eyes in annoyance. The shortest Cullen danced along toward Bella who seemed slightly uncomfortable now. "I'm Alice" the short girl's boyfriend came to a stop beside Ambrosia and Edward who shot him a comforting smile as the boy froze tensely. Alice on the other hand, was completely relaxed as she pulled an uncomfortable Bella into a hug, causing Rosalie to scoff in agitation. There were many mixed reactions about Bella's presence. "Oh, you do smell good."
"Alice" Fredrick scoffed in disgust, pulling his new girlfriend back toward him. Ambrosia- as Edwards side- looked up to see his amused smile and playfully tapped him on the chest, to which the boy chuckled audibly.
"Alice, what are you-?"
"It's okay" the brunette promised with a beam. "Bella and I are going to be great friends." that was when an uncomfortable silence fell again and Ambrosia unconsciously curled closer to Edward, the boy still smiled at his brother's expense but pulled the sweet brunette toward him, pressing his lips calmly to her forehead.

"Sorry" Carlisle coughed unnecessarily. "Jasper's our newest vegetarian." the man explained and Bella stared awkwardly at them as a group, only slightly calmed by the presence of the other human. Ambrosia smiled shyly at her from behind the curtain of her hair. "It's a little difficult for him.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Jasper forced out, calmed as Alice wrapped her arms softly around his waist.
"It's okay Jasper" Alice soothed. "You won't hurt her." this seemed to disgruntle Fredrick even more. At this point, he was completely disgusted by his entire family and he chose to remove them from the scene. Bella didn't seem too bothered by the peculiar way they were behaving.
"Alright. I'm going to show Bella the rest of the house," he demanded and practically dragged her away, leaving the remaining family to exchange smiles. Rosalie kept up her disgusted look, even in the absence of Bella.
"Right" Edward hummed into Ambrosia's hair, quickly turning her around to face him, to which she wobbled and then smiled. "What would you like to do?"
"Can you teach me some more songs?" her voice was low, a whisper in human terms because she could feel the glances on her from the vampires in the vicinity but Edward heard her loud and clear and he beamed.
"Of course, come on. We can do it while the dinner cooks," he promised and she stuttered awkwardly, caught between staying and helping cook and spending time with Edward. Carlisle merely smiled and ushered her away, completely enjoying experimenting in the kitchen and she couldn't help the giggle that formed on her lips when she saw his excitement as Edward dragged her away- over toward the grand piano.
