Thanks to everyone who has taken a interest in this story :D To those that have reviewed massive cyber hugs. The story pic is young Booboo Stewart if anyone is wondering. Damn he is a cutie

So the deal is that I do a year in the life of the cubs as they grow up and show their personalities whilst doing so. There is going to be some girl and boy interaction as well as m/m but I will warn those who don't like m/f promise. ;)

I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on who will be with who yet. Its early stages I know but would be interesting to see what you are all thinking. I won't be changing any of the story to keep people happy I'm just curious. The boys will get to meet the La-Push pack at some stage but will be their own pack with Jacob as alpha.

I own nothing. Please review!

Chapter 2

"Carlisle your transaction has come through. I hope you will accept our offer of lodgings." Aro said looking in the window where the cubs were playing.

"The children need fresh air and also I am concerned for their safety."

"They smell disgusting to us. And the little one is not worth the effort. I can assure you their safety. I would like to observe the creatures while they are here."

The following day there was a huge playground out in the grounds of the castle. All the cubs that remained were given free range only the a few guards were watching over the young cubs happy to stay a distance away from them. The nurses remained in the castle not been guaranteed their safety. So Carlisle along with Alec, Jane and Felix would stay close. Every now and again Aro would join them observing the cubs.

"Uncle Aro." Jacob shouted spotting Aro standing by his father.

"Yes my young cub." Aro said raising an eyebrow at the young alpha running towards him.

"Come push me on the swing."

"Child I am not going to…" Jacob pouted. "Very well lead the way." Aro sighed allowing Jacob to tug on his hand.

Carlisle chuckled who would have guessed that their true enemy could wrap the most dangerous man living around their fingers. Marcus and Caius kept inside the castle although young Seth carried the distinct scent of Marcus. Alec was kicking a ball around with some of the cubs while Jane stood and glared at the cubs, her pretty little nose scrunched up. Flex was playing in the sandbox with Embry and another cub that was still waiting at the castle.

The sun was high in the sky and the vampires wore their robes. Carlisle had covered himself up so he didn't sparkle keeping his hands in his pockets. Embry waved to Carlisle and without thinking the vampire waved back.

"Oh pretty." Embry said getting up from the sandbox and running to Carlisle tripping over on the edge of the path.

"Jane go get my medical bag." Carlisle ordered getting to the young cub who was still lying on his stomach screaming.

Jane was gone in a flash the other vampires looked up their eyes turning black. Fearing that they would attack his new charge Carlisle stood in front of Embry ready to defend him.

"They really do stink." Aro said so that none of the cubs could hear him.

Relaxing Carlisle tended to the injured cub. It was just superficial grazers but knew Embry would be in pain. He wrapped his arms around Carlisle neck nuzzling his face into the vampire's neck seeking comfort.

"Jane please hold Embry while I tend to his wounds."

"I don't think so." Jane hissed as Carlisle handed the child over.

"Your pretty." Embry said sniffing back the tears and snot.

"Of course I am. I'm designed to..''

"Jane!"

"Just hurry up he stinks." Jane said holding Embry at arms length dangling the boy in mid air.

Embry giggled liking that he was flying through the air. Jane frowned not understanding the strange creatures of the night. As soon as Carlisle had covered the wounds Jane put him down. She felt a tug on her robe and looked down to see young Quil looking up at her. His big brown eyes looking hopeful.

"No just no. Go away." she hissed.

Alec picked Quil up and began running around the garden with Quil squealing in delight as he held out his arms as though he was flying. Jane huffed and went back to the shadow's of the castle. Out of all the guards she was the one that didn't make an effort with the young cubs.

"Come boys we will go get some food as soon as we have checked in." Carlisle said watching Quil and Jacob eyeing the food stores at the airport.

It had been a month since they had been bought by the vampire. They had to get new passports for each of the boys and nurse Lily. Alec went and grabbed the boys hands and walked them back to their father.

Out of the three older children Embry was the smart one wanting to learn everything. Jacob was the bruiser finding if he didn't get his way he would push his friends over. Quil was the prankster and always pulling tricks on Lily. Seth was normally a happy baby but more so when he was in the company of a vampire.

"Alec come with us." Jacob ordered as they watched Carlisle put their many bags on the weighing machine.

"We've been through this kiddo. I live here with my sister."

"Don't want Jane to come she is mean." Quil pouted.

The banter between the three continued. Embry was still holding Carlisle's hand along with a teddy bear Aro had given each of the children as a going away gift. The leaders wanted to spend time with the shifters since Carlisle spent so much time with them and wanted to learn what he found so intriguing to them. Marcus would quietly watch from the background but was happy to hold young Seth while the others rough and tumbled. Saying he didn't wish to hurt the young ones by accident. By time they had left the three cubs had the whole of the castle wrapped around their little fingers.

Marcus had spent the whole previous night holding young Seth in his arms while he slept. He wasn't around when they left the castle however. Once they had gotten food the boys sat happily while Carlisle spoke with Alec.

"The invitation is always open Alec the boys love you like a big brother."

"Carlisle that may be so, but they still stink and I can't leave Jane alone." Alec said ruffling Jacob's hair.

"But maybe one day you could bring them back for a visit. I'm sure the others would love to see them again. Hell they got Marcus to smile… well kinda." Alec snorted.

When their flight was called Jacob and the others hugged Alec goodbye and promised to see each other soon. When the boys were taken from their families they had been drugged so they had no idea they had been in a plane. Carlisle debated whether to get a private plane but in the end decided that it would be better to let them experience the real deal. The eight hour flight would be mainly at night when the boys were sleeping anyway. The family was going to meet them at the airport in Seattle. Embry was just about to celebrate his third birthday while Jacob and Quil were just a few months later. Seth was a bonny six months old and happy to sit on his own and let his bigger brothers bring him toys to stick in his mouth.

Once the children were strapped into their seats Carlisle sat down and closed his eyes. He never slept but he had never felt so tired in his whole life. He had got the family to do some investigating about the boys parents as many times he wondered if he should hand them back to their birth parents. However no records were found anywhere it was as if they had never existed and the boys now all carried the Cullen name.

Once they had landed all four boys were asleep. Carlisle managed to wake Jacob enough to get him to climb on his back while he carried Embry and Quil in his arms. Lily carried Seth and their bags.

"Papa we home now?" Jacob asked yawning.

"Next time you wake up son." Carlisle whispered not wanting to wake the others.

"K." he said.

Carlisle saw his family waiting at the gate for them. He could see them all smiling at them and Rose was first to step forward and took Seth from Lily's arms. Emmett grabbed Jacob just as his grip let go of his papa's shoulders. Jasper and Alice stood together quietly while Esme welcomed her husband home with a kiss.

"Welcome home sweetheart. They are more beautiful than I imagined." she whispered kissing each little chubby cheek lightly.

"So good to be home." Carlisle chuckled.

"We'll get your bags and meet you back home." Jasper said without coming closer.

"Thank you son."

They managed to get the children in the car without disturbing them. The trip back was full of news on their new family. Rose adored young Seth and Carlisle could see he would have a fight on his hands if he wanted to spend time with the youngest. Emmett sat in the back between Jacob and Quil telling all that would listen what he was going to teach them. Carlisle was up front with Esme with Embry in his carseat between them.

The house was all set up for the children in mind. Safety gates at the top and bottom of the stairs. Child locks on the medicine cupboards. Edward was waiting for them having gone hunting. He was the least excited to meet the children. However he carried young Jacob up to his own room and placed him on the bed. The extensions were not going to be finished for a few more months so Edward offered his room until it was done. He was thinking of leaving his family for a few years to look for a mate. Alice and Esme had gone wild in the young boys room. It was everything any young boy could ask for.

"Okay gotta admit you are cute." Edward chuckled before leaving the boy to sleep.

The Cullen family were sitting at the large table discussing the future. Esme would be a stay at home mom while the younger vampires went to high school. Carlisle would work at the local hospital. Hunting trips would not be done together anymore. Little feet could be heard upstairs Rose went to go up but Carlisle told her to sit. The boys would be scared not meeting her before and in a strange house.

"Embry what's the matter son?" Carlisle asked.

"I wanna drink please" he said rubbing his eyes.

"Okay come on let's get you a drink then back to sleep."

Picking up Embry he took him down the stairs the rest of the family still sitting at the table. Embry hid his face in Carlisle's neck and held on tight. Once he had his water he was wide awake and looking around the kitchen. Esme came in slowly and smiled down at the young cub.

"Hello I'm Esme but you can call me mommy."

"I'm Embry Cullen and you can call me Embry. You're not my mommy." he said.

Embry refused to call Carlisle papa like the other boys as well and said so to Esme so quietly the young boy didn't hear.

"Oh well that is okay you can call me Esme then if you like." she said smiling.

"Come on young man back to bed for you." Carlisle said taking his hand in his.

Happily taking it they headed out of the kitchen towards the rest of the family. Embry now awake looked at them all and waved smiling his best smile.

"Hello." he said.

"Well aren't you just so cute?" Rose said.

"I'm not cute I'm handsome. Aren't I Carlisle." Embry looked up at his new father.

"Yes you are indeed." Carlisle chuckled.

"You tell them sport. I'm Emmett and this is Rose. I guess we are your new brother and sister."

"I guess." Embry shrugged not quite sure what to make of the big guy.

Jasper shifted uncomfortably on his seat. The young boy smelt more human than shifter and even though he had fed he felt the burn in his throat. Alice and Edward held his arms in case he lost control. It looked like Alice and Jasper would have to leave the family until the boys had shifted.

"Hi." Embry said going right up to Jasper.

Rose went to grab him but Carlisle held her back. Jasper could handle school and he hoped that his son could cope with the young cubs.

"Hello." Jasper smiled nervously.

"I like your hair. Do you like stories?" he asked getting closer to Jasper.

"I do." Jasper answered frowning.

"Okay you can take me to bed." he said matter of factly and held out his hand.

"I.. I yeah okay lead the way squirt." Jasper said taking his hand.

"What just happened?" Emmett asked looking at Edward.

"Embry likes Jasper and loves his hair." he shrugged.

"Well that went well. I'm going to hunt. I will be back before the boys wake." Carlisle said taking his wife's hand in his and running out the door.

The rest of the Cullens sat and listened to Jasper reading a story to Embry upstairs. Alice smiled knowing that her and Jasper wouldn't be going anywhere soon. Embry had stolen her husband's heart.

The following morning Carlisle was waiting for the boys to wake up. Seth had woken earlier and was sitting in his highchair being fed mashed banana. Quil was first up and walked down the stairs thumb in his mouth his finger in his hair like normal. Embry right behind him.

"Where is Jacob?" Carlisle asked.

"Still sleeps." Quil said his thumb not leaving his mouth as he spoke.

Embry raced past Quil and hugged Carlisle and clung to his leg. Picking him up, he kissed his cheek and tickled him. The rest of the family came out of the kitchen and looked at Quil for the first time.

"Papa." Quil ran to Carlisle's other leg.

"Quil I want you to meet the rest of your family."

Embry rested his head on Carlisle shoulder as introductions were made. Quil took Esme's hand happily and headed to the kitchen for breakfast.

"You want some breakfast?" Carlisle asked Embry.

"No thank you." he whispered not moving.

"Come on Squirt lets go find some pancakes." Jasper said half an hour later.

Happy to take his hand he went with Jasper for his breakfast. Out of all the boys Embry was the clingy one. Jacob was still sleeping and Carlisle wanted to take the children to the hospital to introduce his whole family. Deciding to go check he was feeling okay Carlisle went upstairs. He found Jacob fast asleep. Bum in the air while his knees tucked under him. Drool on his pillow.

"Jacob wakey wakey."

"Noooooooooooo tired." Jacob whined.

"Pancakes."

"Yummy. Papa where's the bathroom?" Jacob was halfway out the door.

"Over there son." Carlisle pointed to the private ensuite.

Jacob dressed with the help of Carlisle before going down. He hugged everyone and sat down after checking his brothers were okay.

"You lost your hairbrush?" Jacob asked Edward.

Emmett boomed out a laugh. "Burn bro burn."

"This is how my hair is." Edward chuckled.

Jacob giggled and ate his breakfast with gusto. Edward cleaned his face when he was done. After breakfast Embry sat on Carlisle knee once Alice and Jasper helped him get dressed. Rose had Seth on her knee while Emmett looked over her shoulder. Esme was chasing Quil to get some pants on him upstairs and Jacob and Edward were play fighting on the floor.

"He is very attached to you." Jasper commented to Carlisle.

"He's shy."

"No not really I can feel the love he has for you. It is very strong." Jasper smiled.

"Mum,mum mum." Seth chanted waving his hand in Rose's face.

"Oh my god." she sob. "He called me mom."

"What a clever boy." Emmett said tickling Seth's tummy.

"Da, da, da." he squealed.

"Carlisle please me and Emmett want to adopt Seth as ours." Rose whispered.

"We sure do." Emmett agreed.

"Its a lot of responsibility. They are hard work and need constant care."

"We know but we feel that we could do it. Please."

Carlisle looked at his other boys whom he had brought home with him. He had yet to tell the family that the boy actually belonged to Marcus. Of course it would be up to Seth when he was older if he agreed to become his mate. But he promised Marcus he wouldn't breathe a word to anyone.

"Very well. We will legally sort it out. No doubt Jasper will be able to help out there." Carlisle sighed.

"Oh thank you thank you thank you." Rose squeals hugging Seth close to her chest.

"Perhaps you two could use the old cottage. If we got it up made bigger it would be the perfect home for the three of you. And you will be close enough so Seth can still see his brothers." Esme says walking down the stairs now with a dressed Quil squirming in her arms.

Mum, mum, mum. Da da da.

"Lets go shopping." Alice squealed.

"Wait, wait we need to go meet the staff at the hospital." Carlisle chuckled.

"You do know you have to look after your son?" Edward asked Rose.

"Oh um. Sure. Its fine" Rose said looking down at Seth.

"Go I'll look after him." Emmett said taking his new son off her.

Well there is no surprise that Rose and Emmett wanted to be parents. Aww and little Seth will have the most doting parents EVER.
