1876

Texas had just become a state and the young Cullen family was prosperous.

Owning a cattle farm was a lot of work, but Carlisle with his wife, Esme, son, Edward, and his nephew, Jasper.

Just recently a family claimed land right next to them.

Carlisle and his family rode over to the neighboring home. Esme had fixed a delicious cake for the family as a welcoming gift.

Carlisle adopted his nephew, Jasper at the age of 3 and now is 6, after his brother and his wife died. He has received one, of the two twins. Jasper's sister, Rosalie, she had going to her mother's sister.

Carlisle had wished he could have kept the twins together, but that was not what happens since Carlisle was not married when he got Jasper.

Esme had Edward, there 2 year old son, on her back. He was enjoying his ride with his mother.

Approaching the house of the new neighbors, Jasper sighed hating that the ride was taking so long.

Upon reaching the house Carlisle dismantled fast, and pulled Jasper off the back of his horse.

"Uncle Carlisle, Why are we here?"

"Jasper we are here to greet our new neighbors."

"What are neighbors?"

"People that live next to you."

"Okay."

Jasper was satisfied with just that simple of an answer. Behind Esme came Edwards chatter of learn how to say these new and strange words.

Knocking on the door a young woman came to the door.

"Hello, How may I help you?"

"We are the neighbors and we came to introduce ourselves," Carlisle said smoothly.

"Oh how nice! I am Renee Swan, my husband I currently putting our son and daughter down for a nap."

"Splendid!"

"Well come on in. I am about to start dinner."

Esme smiled looking at the young woman in front of her.

"Do you mind if I add our sons up there?"

"Oh my go ahead."

Charlie was coming down the stairs while Esme was on her way up.

"Good day mama. Can I help you?"

"I just wanted to put our sons down to take a nap too."

"I'll take him and put him in the crib with our Bella. And the other can share the bed with Emmett."

Esme descended the stairs with Charlie, heading to the lounge where Renee and Carlisle sat.

"Carlisle, they have the most beautiful son and daughter."

Carlisle just smiled and stood to greet Charlie.

"Well, hello stranger. My name is Carlisle. I am the closes person to you in 10 miles."

Charlie just laughed, "Name is Charlie. I see you brought something?"

"Esme thought it would be nice to bring a house warming gift."

"Renee, why don't you start some dinner?"

Esme followed Renee to the kitchen to start a mean meal for everyone.

"So, your boy there has middy blond hair," Renee started to peel potatoes, trying to start small talk.

"Oh, he is Carlisle's nephew. His parents were killed by savages. Carlisle took him in before we got married."

"Oh poor thing."

"Our son is Edward; he just turned two last week."

"Now he was a cutie. He has your hair."

Esme laughed, Edward always had his hair commented on. His bronze hair just stood out where ever you go. And those green eyes were going to be breaking a lot of hearts.

"That daughter of yours is a cutie too. I could just eat her up."

"Well, she was our little miracle. The doctors told us that we couldn't have any more children, but a few weeks after that we found that we were having Bella. I just knew, before she was born, that it was going to be a girl."

Renee just cracked a smile remembering that time.

"How old will she be this coming snow?"

"She turns 2 in September."

"Oh, and the boy?"

"That would be our Emmett. He loves protecting his baby sister. He is turning 7 in May."

"Joyful, our Jasper turns 7 in March."

Emmett was already showing he was going to be a huge help on the ranch when he became of age, already showing those meaty muscles growing under his skin.

While Esme and Renee were planning on which Cullen should marry Bella, Carlisle and Charlie were talking about crops and cattle.

During the hole ordeal downstairs, Edward and Bella were playing sitting there babbling toeach other, becoming quick friends.
