"Alright, it's movie time!" Emmett shouted as he came in carrying an armful of pillows, blankets, DVDs, and a multitude of other things. He plopped them down in a heap on the floor in the center of the living room.

"It's about time; we haven't had a movie night in years!" Alice whined, snatching a few pillows from the pile and nestling against the couch and into Jasper's side. He wrapped his muscled arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer in response.

I don't think she was exaggerating when she had said 'years', because this was my first Cullen Family Movie Night. In fact, this was the first time I'd even known such a thing existed. I wanted to laugh when Alice ordered me and Edward to be at the house in time for family bonding, but after receiving a few glares from my sister, I quickly understood how serious this night was. A lot of the times it was easy for us all to get distracted and busy ourselves with other matters, so a night in together was considered the best remedy to keep in touch.

Nessie was back at the cottage, drifting through her dreams in peace in solitude. After we had put her to bed, instead of our normal Edward-Bella time, we ran across the river to the main house. Edward had warned me, going from his past experiences with Cullen Family Movie Night, that perhaps it would be better if our innocent little daughter was not in attendance. After that, I wasn't sure what to expect of this night, but so far it was turning out quite tolerable.

Edward was sitting on the couch, with me comfortably situated on his lap, which was my absolute favorite place to be. Emmett and Rose were in a similar position right next to us, Alice and Jasper had the floor, and Esme and Carlisle took the only chair. It was pretty close quarters, but apparently that made it all the more fun.

"Does anyone remember whose turn it is to pick the movie?" Emmett asked as he rifled through the stack of cases in his hands.

"Oh, it's been so long. I can't recall," Esme fretted, her fingers dashing to her lips.

I was a little surprised that she couldn't remember, what with her infallible vampire memory, but my thoughts were interrupted by Jasper.

"It's fine, Esme. I don't think we ever really kept an official order anyway," he comforted her, sensing her worry with his emphatic abilities.

"So then, whose turn shall it be?" Carlisle inquired, addressing the lot of us.

"I say mine! I already have the perfect one in mind!" Alice suggested, hopping up and skipping over to where Emmett was standing.

He extended his arm all the way and held the movies above his head and out of Alice's limited reach. Of course, if she really wanted to, it would be no problem for her to retrieve them.

"Don't think so, Pixie."

Alice pouted and put her hands on her hips, not relenting for even a second in her protests.

Soon the whole room came alive with arguments and shouting over whose turn it was to pick the movie. Honestly, it didn't matter to me what we watched. I didn't really see why it was such a big deal. The noise continued on for a few more minutes, everyone trying to claim their right to choose. Only Carlisle, Esme, and myself remained silent.

Finally, Edward's voice rose above the others in an uncharacteristic manner and asked, "Can I make a suggestion?"

There were a couple of irritated shouts of 'no's, but mostly he was just ignored. I patted his hand which was resting on my stomach.

But Edward didn't give up. "Hey!" Everyone quieted down at his outburst and listened. "I think…and this is the only logical decision… that it should be Bella's turn," he finished, a devious smirk on his face.

"Hmm…yeah, that seems fair," Jasper agreed after a short period of consideration.

"It makes sense; she's the only one whose never had a turn," Rosalie conceded.

While they all were nodding their heads, I was shaking mine. "No, Edward, really its fine. I don't want to; someone else c—"

But I never got to finish because at that moment Emmett shoved the collection of DVDs into my face, cutting off my words. I sighed and began to look through my options. It looks like Cullen Family Movie Night had started off with a bang…
