"Edward!" Bella called as she entered their home after work. She didn't hear a reply so she headed to the kitchen to put the bottle of wine she bought on the way home in the fridge.

"Why is there so much mess in the kitchen? It looks like a bakery exploded in here!" She mused to herself as she put the wine in the fridge, carefully avoiding the mess on the floor and bench tops. She looked around the kitchen and wondered where everyone was as she still hadn't seen or heard any of her family members.

Edward walked into the kitchen at that moment carrying a broom. He was startled to see her as it was only half past five.

"Ah Bella … I didn't think you'd be home until six, love." He gestured towards the mess and said quietly, "I, ah, I may have tried to make cookies with the kids." After a pause, and with a pout, he added, "We weren't successful."

Edward was talented at many things. Baking was not one of them. But she admired the fact that he tried his best for the sake of their kids. She just wished the mess could be kept to a minimum. Unfortunately the combination of their seven year old daughter and five year old son meant that mess was inevitable.

"Where are the kids?" Bella asked with a gentle smile.

"They are out in the backyard playing with Emmett." Edward replied as he began to clean the bench top of the failed baking attempt. "Emmett got here about ten minutes ago…needless to say the baking was quickly abandoned by the kids in favor of wrestling Uncle Emmett on the lawn," he grinned. He really loved the relationship his kids had developed with his siblings.

Bella grabbed the broom to help Edward finish cleaning the kitchen. If Emmett was here it meant that the rest of the gang would probably be here in an hour or so. Looks like another Cullen dinner feast tonight Bella thought happily.

The kitchen was back to normal in no time and the cleaning supplies had been put away. Edward and Bella headed to their bedroom to change into clean, comfortable clothes for what would be a relaxing evening at home with his siblings and their children.

They had both stripped out of their clothes and placed them in the hamper. Bella looked into her husband's eyes and said, "So, our kids are distracted huh?" With a glint in his eyes Edward replied, "Yeah, I guess so why?"

"Well…"

So…

please review the chapter and give me some of your ideas

I want this story to be based in reality. Nothing too far-fetched or weird!

What are Bella and Edwards kids called?

How many children do J/A and E/R have. Give me name suggestions for them too!

What do you want to happen in the next chapter when the Cullen siblings get together for dinner?

I will acknowledge any ideas I use in the A/N at the beginning of the next chapter.
