**SM OWNS IT ALL

I was sitting on the couch of the Cullen residence, watching Nessie and Jake play Scrabble. It was a normal day, quite to my liking since the Volturi invasion two months ago. Days like this were nice. Edward sat down beside me on the couch and kissed the top if my head. I smiled and held his hand. Alice came dancing into the room with Jasper at her heels. She gracefully sat in the love seat in the living room, and Jasper followed her display. Alice and Edward began sharing a silent conversation, so I turned my attention back to Jacob and Nessie, and watched her brutally mutilate him in their game.

Suddenly I heard Edward exclaim, "Oh please!"

Alice raised her eyebrows. "Oh my dear brother, how many times have I taken you in these board games? Monopoly, chess, checkers, the list goes on."

"Well, dear sister, my mew wife has yet to see our game battles."

I smiled and nodded. "Please, I would be delighted to see you two compete."

By this time Nessie had thrown her hands up in victory.

"Nessie, would you like to see your father and I play Scrabble?" Alice inquired.

Nessie's eyes lit up and she and Jacob switched places with Alice. Jasper came to sit by me and Edward moved to sit on the floor across the coffee table from Alice. Carlisle and Esme had moved from their garden and sat down beside Jasper and I on the couch. I heard Emmet's booming laughter as he and Rosalie returned from a hunt. They took their seats to watch the game as well. We all watched in silence as Edward read Alice's thoughts, and Alice watched for his words in the future. They came up with intricate words that were only in a vampire's vocabulary. After a half hour they were head to head and everyone was watching them as if it were a MMA fight. A thought went through my mind as I watched Alice move another letter from her pile. I toyed with the idea, and decided to pursue it. I squinted my eyes and began to stretch my shield out. I covered my husband and glanced at Alice. Her eye brows furrowed as she lost his future. I retracted quickly, and watched Edward gain the lead. Her jaw clenched in frustration. The rest of the family looked surprised as Edward smiled. I decided to make it even. I let my shield fall over Alice and saw Edward's eyes grow tighter when he lost Alice's thoughts. I gave her enough time to pick another word. I continued messing with their heads until eventually Edward sat straight up.

"Bella!" he exclaimed.

I smiled, and winked at Alice as she realized what was going on. The rest of the Cullens exploded in laughs as Edward looked at me and smiled my favorite smile.
