A/N - So for the first time in years I actually have a new story for you all! I hope you all like it and I hope it gives you hope that I am not dead or MIA or kidnapped by aliens. I have been working on all my stories (and about a dozen brand new ones). The main issue being I suffer from writers block and on some days I can write multiple pages on different stories, and some days I can only force out a sentence or two. Lately I've been able to get this fun short story out, and work A LOT on Charmed Again.

This story will be 3 chapters long.

One thing to remember about this story is that the first chapter in its entirety was written the night Breaking Dawn part 2 was released in theaters. So when I was suddenly randomly inspired to finish it I decided that I would review the first chapter, but wouldn't change anything other than grammar and spelling. So in my personal opinion Chapter 2 is much better. As will be chapter 3. Chapter 2 is finished but needs to be cleaned up before its posted so let me know what you think!

Also this story will be cross posted on AO3 and you can find me there under the same name. ANd please do not accuse me of stealing my own work. I've had that happen to me before and I was less than amused...

"Edward! Wait up!" Emmett snapped as he and Jasper rushed to catch up to the youngest member of their family. Carlisle would kill them if they lost their little brother on a hunting trip. Edward slowed his pace and turned around to wait for his older brothers. Technically Jasper was the only one besides Carlisle older than him in their family. And yet somehow he ended up being the baby of the family.

To everyone else in the world and in their own home as well; Emmett was the absolute oldest of the children. He had been eighteen years old when he was changed. Rosalie was the second oldest only a few months younger than Emmett when she was changed. Jasper came in third, playing twin to Rosalie; though in reality he was fifty years older than all the rest of them. Alice came in next, Carlisle assumed she was seventeen, maybe eighteen at her change. Which left Edward as the baby having just turned 17 when the influenza struck.

They all played their roles effectively, both in and outside of home. Emmett was the protector of all of them. No one ever said anything about the Cullen family with him near bye. Rosalie, as cold as she could be to outsiders, was sweet and motherly to her younger siblings. Jasper played the role of middle child well. With his power of emotion control he was often the last barrier between his siblings killing each other. Not that he didn't butt heads with his siblings as well. Alice played the part of hyper little sister perfectly. She could get anything she wanted from her parents.

Edward was once again the baby. He had a permanently reserved place on Carlisle's lap whenever he wanted it, and several times when he didn't. Not to mention the fact that Carlisle wanted to know where he was at all times. Technically none of them were allowed to leave to many close calls when enemies of their past had tried to kill them all and had thankfully been unsuccessful. The only one the rule truly effected was Edward. The others rarely left without their mates, but Edward had no mate, and was constantly annoyed at the fact that he had to have a babysitter (as his siblings lovingly reminded him) whenever he wanted to leave the house.

"Would you two hurry up?" Edward demanded as Jasper and Emmett came to a stop next to him.

"Would you slow down, and stop being such a brat?" Emmett countered as he and Edward exchanged glares.

"Would you two stop fighting for five minutes?" Jasper growled. "You're giving me a damn migraine." They had been at each others necks all day.

"Sorry," Edward muttered softly. He especially understood how draining it was having everyone's emotions, or in Edward's case thoughts; weighing down on you at all times. For some reason it didn't seem to affect Jasper, or Alice with her visions; as badly as it did Edward. Carlisle assumed it was because Alice could block out her visions, and Jasper could manipulate others emotions. The most Edward could do was make the voices in his head a dull roar. The only exception being his family, who were becoming increasingly good at blocking Edward from their thoughts, if only for a short time.

"Just go, Carlisle says we have to be back in an hour and a half." Jasper mumbled annoyed as he pinched the bridge of his nose between two fingers. Edward glared at that as he took off running again.

His thoughts were interrupted when he caught the scent of mountain lions. He quickly changed direction. Somewhere in the back of his mind he seemed to recognize the faint sounds of Emmett and Jasper yelling for him to slow down, and come back. Not that he cared. He was sick of being watched twenty-four seven. Besides, Jasper and Emmett would catch up with him eventually. No problem.

If only it were that easy.


I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. Please leave me a review or PM me your thoughts or any ideas you have for future stories. Also if there is something in this story, or any of my other stories; that you feel should be included in a content warning please let me know. I post these stories for people who enjoy this sort of thing and I have no intentions of triggering painful memories because I forgot to put a warning or didn't realize it would be detrimental to someone's health.

Chapter 2 should be up soon!

Thank You so much for reading.
