We walked back hand in hand, laughing as we had such a great time. We ate and talked and kissed. It was awesome….

"You serious did that though!" I laughed at the end of EJ's tale.

"Yeah," EJ Laughed as well, "Mom and dad were pissed but Uncle Emmett was so proud!"

"It does sound like dad," I giggled as I got my laughter under control. Our hands swung as we walked at human speed. I caught myself staring when the sun peaked through the trees, it was just rising. His skin glowed just a little and his perfectly white teeth glistened.

"You're beautiful," I found myself saying. My jaw dropped as I realized what I had said. I clasped my hand over my uncontrollable mouth as my heart raced wildly. EJ laughed and my faced reddened even more. I'm such an idiot.

"Well, thank you, ma'am," he said and owed a little, "and you are quite ravishing yourself." He kissed my hand lightly. I guess he learned that from Uncle Jasper. Did he and Alice help EJ set all this up? That would explain some things. He smiled and kissed my red cheek and pulled me into a hug. He smelled so… so… I can't even describe him, he smells so wonderful. Perhaps like the sun or warmth…. Well, that made no sense…

"No, it didn't," EJ laughed, "but I know exactly what you mean. You smell very nice as well." I pulled away a little confused before I remembered his power.

"EJ!" I half laughed as I playfully pushed him. "Don't do that." I hate it when he does that. He's just like his dad, can't stay outta others' heads.

"I'm sorry," he said remorsefully. I tried to stay angry for the intrusion, however, I found myself incapable of staying mad so I smiled. I couldn't stay mad at him for anything. We joined hands again and walked the rest of the way home as I leaned on him as I held onto his arm.

Everyone was downstairs when we got back. They all looked up as we entered.

"Hi," I said awkwardly.

"Good morning, sweetie," grandma greeted and gathered her gardening supplies she had displayed in front of her and went outside.

"You two seem like you had a good morning," ness teased while raising her eyebrows at us.

"They seem like they had a great morning," Jake also teased. My face heated up for some reason.

"Shut up guys," EJ said and pulled me toward the couch and pulled me into his lap. Instinctively, I leaned my head on his shoulder. Mom and dad came down the stairs then.

"Hey, Ellie," mom said with her usual smile, "we didn't know you were back yet." I sat up a little.

"Yeah, I just got back."

"Well, its seven now and Alice is dying to get out of the house so she was wondering if she could take you shopping, just the two of you." I looked to EJ just to make sure he had nothing else planned for us today. He gave me an encouraging smile.

"Yeah, that sounds like fun. When does she want to go?" As I asked, Alice came running down the stairs.

"I'm guessing now," I wondered aloud and Alice nodded her head with a huge smile. I got up from my seat and turned back around and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Alright, enough of that," dad said from his seat. I heard a smack. "Oww Rose…"

"Leave her alone, Emmett," mom said coming to my aid. I giggled.

"I'll see you later," I said and went with Aunt Alice.

"So," Aunt Alice question when we had been driving for a while, "what did you and EJ do?"

"Oh we went for a walk, had some breakfast," I said slyly. For a matter of fact, I had just been thinking about our morning together. I am just so happy now; this was what life was supposed to be like.

"Ooh, I know that look!" Alice squealed. I looked at her with my idiotic smile that I couldn't shake.

"What look?"

"The one on her face when you think, see or hear about EJ. You are in love, girlie!" I blushed at her observation.

"Is it that obvious?" I smiled as I fiddled with my fingers. She laughed.

"I am so glad you are happy with us Ellie," she said with a smile my way. "You have completed our family and we all love you so much…."

"Aww, Aunt Alice…" I said embarrassed as my face reddened. I love them all too and I was just so grateful that they accepted me so freely. They showed me that life was worth living.

"It's true. You are so humble and sweet and you are an awesome niece and shopping buddy," she continued. We never really got to spend much time together especially alone.

"I love you guys too," I said. "If I do say so myself, you are a pretty awesome aunt." She smiled widely at that and turned her attention back to the rode.

"I love our bonding time, Ellie."

"Me too, Aunt Alice," I said with a grin. She smiled but it was more of a sad smile.

"I wish I had a kid sometimes," she admitted. "I just see my family with children and I just get… jealous…

"Oh, Aunt Alice," I said with sad eyes. I had no idea she felt that way. She shook her head and smiled happily.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to spoil our good time. It will be fun; I promise." We didn't discuss the topic again.
