Hi, so I recently read a story of Bella and Edward being friends and having it grow into something more called When We Were Young by Fall Down Again Bella. I loved how the story worked out and I wanted to try it for myself without directly copying her. I liked the story and recommend it. I'd like to know what you think of the first chapter and id you would like me to continue so send me a review!

Esme Point of view Edward and Bella are 2 years old

I stood in the kitchen by the window that over looks the backyard. It had rained recently like always and there was mud all over the backyard. Edward and Bella who are practically attached at the hip both wanted to go outside and I being the nice parent I changed them into some clothes that already had some stains and could afford to be filled in every space possible with mud. I had put new diapers on the two of them knowing they would want to stay out for as long as possible and let them outside. I had stayed outside for a little while but then went inside keeping a careful eye on them. I knew that one day our children would love each other but I wasn't so sure Bella would realize it. She is a very bright girl but I can tell boys are going to mistreat her.

I shook my head and grabbed my camera from my room. I snuck outside with my camera poised to take the best picture I could to document the life of my children and how they fall in love at a young age. I think of Bella as my daughter because I never had a daughter. I stood off on the side waiting for the perfect moment to capture forever. Suddenly, the perfect moment came. It was almost magical.

Edward was sitting in the mud playing with Bella when she went to stand up and slipped. He caught her before she could permanently damage her head and laid her down on his lap. Concern could be clearly seen even from about ten yards away where I stood.
"You OK?" Edward asked his voice concerned and strangely mature for a two year old. Bella was shocked from almost falling but nodded her head and kissed Edward's cheek. I quickly snapped a few pictures and walked into the shadow, giggling like a teenager. Edward looked around then blushed. I smiled and heard the front door open which meant Carlisle and Charlie were home.

I walked back in the door away from where the kids would see me and walked over to them greeting Carlisle with a kiss on the cheek. He smiled at me and asked me how my day has been so far.
"My day has been really good thank you. Edward and Bella wanted to go out in the mud so I changed them and let them outside. I wanted some pictures and when I went out there Bella went to get up to do something and slipped. Edward caught her and made sure she didn't hurt herself and to thank him she kissed his cheek! It was so adorable! You should see the pictures! Let me go get my camera." Carlisle and Charlie humored me and let me run and get my camera. I turned it on and brought the camera back to the living room. I made sure both males could see the camera then started going through the pictures. Any blurry pictures I deleted and they got to see the pictures.

I was still shocked at how mature Edward had been then I started to go make dinner. I decided on a simple chicken and rice dinner. While the rice was boiling I went outside to bring in the children. "Kids," I yelled. Both looked at me and smiled their almost full sets of teeth at me. I smiled back at them and told them it was time to go back back inside. Edward cried out that he didn't want to but Bella, ever the peacemaker even at two, said "OK momma Essie." That was my nickname from her and she called her real mother, momma but, momma Essie would always warm my heart. I picked them both up grunting a little bit at the effort as they are both getting older. I quickly changed their diapers and clothes. I made sure they were ready to go downstairs then I brought them down and put them in their high chairs. A moment later the timer on the stove went off telling me I had to go finish dinner.

I quickly drained the rice and took the chicken out of the fridge. Emmett, who is just about two years older than Edward can smell food like crazy and when I put everything on the table he was there. I called Renee, Bella's mom, and everyone else in here and we started eating. I smiled as I thought of how similar this looked to a real family and I sighed wistfully. Nobody noticed thankfully and I realised that even if we aren't blood related, we would always be like family.
