Chapter One

Chris and Craig?

R-POV

My name is Rosalie Cullen, I am 38 years old, and I have six kids. There is Emmett Jr. (AKA Jason)-15, and his twin Edward (AKA EJ). There is Crystal-14, and also the triplets Annabelle, Sarah, and Jasper (AKA JJ) at age 10. I have been happily married for the past eighteen years, to Emmett Cullen. And we currently live in Los Angeles, California.

Today is Saturday September 28, 2008 and it is Crystal's 15th birthday. We have a bunch of her friends coming over for a sleepover, including my niece Renéesme, because they share the same birth date.

For the past week I have heard Crystal talking to Chris on her phone, but she hasn't said anything to me. I think she likes him, but she won't tell me, so I'll have to figure out from her friends. I've also heard Nessie (Renéesme) talking about a Craig in her sleep, because just like Bella she says the best secrets while she is asleep. But, she hasn't told Bella anything either. All I know about these boys is that my sons hang out with them, a lot.

"Mom, Aunt Bella is here," Sarah called. I walked over to the living room.

"Hey, Bella," I said as I pecked her cheek and hugged her.

"Hi, Rose."

One by one all the girls arrived. Bella and Alice were the only adults staying with me and all the guys were at Bella's place for the night. Our daughters' friends consisted of Valerie, Gabby, Karina, Emily, Taya, and Jamie. Then there were Alice's girls Annie, and Laurie.

All the girls were situated in the living room when they started to speak. "Where are your brothers," Valerie asked.

"There at my house," Nessie answered, and all the girls giggled. They all thought that Uncle Edward was cute; they all said Emmett was not as good as Edward. But, I knew she wasn't asking for the benefit of Edward, but for Jason.

"Hey, Ness and Crys, can you get the extra quilts and sleeping bags from upstairs," and they nodded. When they left I went to talk to the girls.

"Girls, who is Chris and Craig."

"They are my brothers, and Ness and Crys' new boyfriends," Valerie answered. Alice, Bella, and I stared between each other wide-eyed. We knew we would get answers later.

The rest of the night went smoothly. The girls had popcorn, watched romance movies and talked on the floor. I went to sleep in my room, Alice in the guest room, and Bella in Edward's room. I woke up in the middle of the night and heard something. I walked downstairs and heard voices coming from the kitchen.

When I walked around the kitchen corner I saw Jason in full make out mode with Valerie. Man, did I miss high school or what. I cleared my throat, and obviously they were completely shocked.

"Mrs. Cullen…" I held up my hand for her to stop.

"Please call me Rosalie and I don't want an explanation," I told them. "Jason you better be out of here in an hour, and did you walk?" He nodded his head, and with that I went back up to my room.

I had no problem with my children dating, but sex was out of the question. I've talked to them about it, but that is all I can do. I am not going to forbid them from it, but I am not going to push it upon them. After all, I lost my virginity when I was 18.

"Mom, its 10:30 and the guys will be here by 12:00," I heard my daughter said. I got up and said good morning. I went downstairs to get breakfast started to find that Bella was already at it.

"Morning sleepy head," Bella greeted. I just nodded my head and went to grab a cup of coffee.

"So, how long have you guys been up?"

"I got up at eight, and the girls got up at ten, but Alice left at nine."

"What is the plan for this morning?"

"The girls are going to eat and be showered by eleven. Then they can go for a swim. At twelve the guys should be here and we will all have lunch. At around one the kids can jump back in the water. So, by three the girls will be ready to leave except Valerie who is sleeping over."

We all had eggs and toast for breakfast, then I went into the shower. We I got back downstairs the clock read eleven-twenty and the girls were in the pool. I sat in the on a lawn chair next to the pool reading a magazine as they swam.

It was about eleven forty when I felt hands around my eyes.

"Guess who?" I immediately knew who it was.

"Emmett, you better stop because you are turning me on and what I want to do can't be done in front of the girls."

He immediately let go off my eyes and ran into the house. I am guessing he is going to take care of a "problem" that was caused by my talking. I snickered at myself, but went unnoticed by the girls. Val started swimming towards me and I tried to pull myself together.

"Val what day are you leaving?"

"Since we have the whole week off I am going to go to school with Ness and Crys next Monday." I nodded my head.

"Tomorrow we are planning on going up to Virginia to go to Busch Gardens, would you like to come…you can invite your brothers too."

"I'll talk to my mom about it."

"No worries I'll give her a call later."

"Thanks."

Then I saw her smile a really bright smile I turned around and saw Jason in the patio doorway. "Why don't you go talk to him?" But she shook her head no, and pointed to Crystal. "She doesn't know?" I was a little shocked.

"No, and I am not sure how she will feel about one of her best friends dating her brother." But then I thought about the Crystal and Chris situation. "And about Chris she doesn't know that I know, she was at my house and I heard her telling Chris about how she was not sure about how I'd take it."

I immediately understand. It was the old "as my brothers don't date any of my best friends because it would be weird when you break up."

"I think you should tell her…after all she shouldn't judge you so badly, she's dating your brother." Val just chuckled.

"Some things are easier said than done," and I smile at her. She winked at Jason before she took off showing her swimming skills. I looked over at Jason and motioned with my fingers for him to come over here.

He sat next to me then I began talking. "How long?"

"Since the second day of school but I have had a crush on her since seventh grade." I just smiled at him, because that is when his father told me that he started to have a crush on me.

"Don't you think you should tell your sister?"

"She'll find out but at the right time. Val and I agreed that if we are still dating in two weeks then we have to tell her."

I just nodded my head, and he said he was going to change into his swim trunks. "No you're not, rules about the pool state that the guys may only join in the swim after lunch." His face sank but he left anyway.
