A/N: Twilight still not mine


Carlisle was woken in his chair by the hoots and cheers of what sounded like Edward and Emmett battling something out in the lounge. After checking on Jasper, he went down to investigate.

He walked in to see Edward pinned to the floor, Emmett shaking his fist in triumph.

"What on earth is going on?!" Carlisle exclaimed

"Whoever was last up has to carry the gas for the generator." Rosalie explained

"Ed and Em both got down at the same time and decided to wrestle it out." Alice finished

"I see." Carlisle said not completely convinced.

"Get off me!" Edward said frustrated as he writhed on the floor

"Do you solemnly swear, to carry thy gas?" Emmett said in a mocking voice

"You do know that its not technically yours-" Edward said trying to avoid the question. "Do you or do you not?"

"Urgh. Yes!" Edward reluctantly agreed

Emmett jumped up, letting Edward free. Alice was laughing as she tied her boots up.

"We leave in five." Emmett called as he dashed in the direction of the garage.

Carlisle walked to where Edward lay defeated on the ground.

"Alright son?" Carlisle smiled

"Sure." Edward said rolling his eyes as Carlisle pulled him up.

Bella and Rosalie sat on the sofa and spoke quietly as Edward jogged into the kitchen, returning with a half eaten banana.

"Take it J isn't coming?" Edward asked with half a banana in his mouth

"He's gonna have to sit this one out unfortunately. As much as he would like to come of course."

Edward nodded. He sat down to tie his own boots up.

The room was silent now as Carlisle and Alice moved to join Emmett in the garage.

"You ready then?" Rosalie asked Bella

"Always. Excited since its first time i've stayed up in the cabin though."

"We used to go up there on the first weekend of every month until Dad took to working more hours at the hospital just before you came to live with us. You'll like it up there."

Bella lied. About four years ago she and Edward had snuck up over a weekend after her mother had died. The relationship she had with Edward was nothing more than a brother and sister relationship and that was all they needed. He has always been her big brother. Growing up without siblings, Ed had been there for her.

Moving on, Bella stood up smiling.

"You ready?"

"Yep, ill just go and see Jasper. Meet you in the garage."

"See you in a few."

Rosalie took the stairs two at a time. She had always felt a protective need over her younger twin. They were both to young to remember their parents when they died, but she still felt slightly out of place with her cousins only felling totally comfortable around Emmett and Jasper of course. He had been diagnosed of type one diabetes six months before she had when they were 11. He had always had it worse off than she did. The stress of his final year at university had made it harder for him to cope. He had taken to completing the work at home and only going in once a week.

Rosalie peered around the corner of his door. His eyes met hers as she walked in.

"How you felling bro?"

"Fine sis. You?"

She doubted that. He had a fever and was trying not to shiver. It wasn't working.

"Gonna miss you coming with us, we will go again when your better. I promise."

"Don't worry about me! I've got the last five seasons of Lost to catch up on so…"

"Really, out of everything you could possibly watch! They end is just so-"

"Ah ah. No spoilers please!" Jasper said covering his ears "No go, otherwise they will leave without you."

She hesitated for a moment before turning to leave to the room. She headed for the garage where the others would be waiting, contemplating what to do. She half wanted to stay back with Jasper, but knowing him he would continue to insist that she go. In all honesty she wanted to stay at home and help Esme decorate the spare bedroom. She was in her final year of an interior design degree, which she hoped would land her a job with Perkins + Will. Contacts she had made over the summer had put in a good word for her meaning she might just get a job.

"Rosa-" Emmett began to call as he saw Rosalie turn the corner.

"Good, lets get going." He said with a massive smile across his face.

Rosalie pulled her coat on and grabbed her pack. Bella, Alice and Edward were almost bouncing out of their shoes as they walked towards the door.

Carlisle looked on from the rear of garage. He felt so proud of his children. Even though most of them were adults now, he still felt responsible for them individually. It made him chuckle to see them behave like 10 year olds on christmas day.

Rosalie was the last one to leave. She turned around to smile at Carlisle.

"Are you certain you've got everything?" He said worried.

"Yes Dad i've checked. Insulin, lantis, glucose tablets. Don't worry!"

Carlisle smiled as he walked over to where she was standing and pulled her close, hugging her.

"Be safe, sweetie."

"Look after Jasper." She said as she smiled and left the garage.

The others had already climbed into the Emmett's truck ready to leave. Emmett was driving with Edward riding shotgun.

'Lets Roll!" Emmett shouted as Rosalie dumped her bag in the trunk and climbed in next to Alice.
