"Let me start over. Though, how much I would like to join you in your games, I would like you to stop. Because one, like I said before, this is a family thing and I would like to do this as a family, not split up. Boys and girls. And two, because you took half the fish out of the water." They looked around and we all laughed. "Now put them all back in the water." They stopped laughing and groaned. "Hey, don't complain. You all did it and how would it look if someone came by and saw all the fish laying everywhere?" They quickly cleaned it up and there was one last fish laying in front of the jeep. Jasper ran and picked it up but it 'slipped' out of his hands and landed on Rosalie's lap.
"Damn you Jasper!" She yelled, leaping off the jeep. Jasper started running and Rosalie was right behind him.
"And what did you say about this so called 'family bonding' again?" Esme asked smirking.
"Again, maybe it wasn't the greatest idea." But I'm sure that was an accident. I mean, Jasper's a gentleman, he wouldn't do something like that. Would he?
"Yes." Edward coughed then he started walking over with Bella behind him. Rosalie was still chasing Jasper and Emmett and Alice were watching. When he reached me he started talking. "Yes, of course, Jasper did that on purpose. If you think that was an accident, well then, you don't know him very good. Your always at the hospital, so that could be the reason why you don't know us very well, but ask Esme." He looked at her. "Isn't it always like this?"
Esme nodded and looked up at me sadly. "Why didn't you tell me, honey? I could have came home early to help you with the kids." I said.
Edward scoffed. "Were not kids. We are young adults."
"Actually, you are still a teenager and the rest are young adults, but none of you act your age." Esme said.
Edward frowned. "Don't remind me that I'm younger. Even my fiancee is older, but I act my age."
Bella turned and glared at him. "Whats that suppose to mean? Are you embarrassed that I'm older then you? Do you rather someone your age or younger?"
"No, no, Bella. Your perfect. I was just trying to make a point. Lets go and catch some fish." Edward said, practically, dragging Bella back to the pond.
"Well, that was different." Esme smiled and turned to face me.
"Maybe, hes right. I don't know my own kids enough. Maybe we should have an extended family bonding time. What do you think?" I need to learn them better and I know just the thing. Camping will do. we will not tolerate certain things, but I'll explain that when we are ready for it, because knowing them they will forget, though they can't.
"Well, I don't know. This is only a one day thing and its already turned into a normal day at home. I doubt you'll be able to get to know your children better, because you need to work at school. And there young adults.... and teenagers. You know how they like to be by themselves and away from there parents. But, what did you have in mind?"
"Well, I was thinking camping. You know, then we can share things at night around a fire." Wow, how childish does that sound?
"But what about Bella? She has to sleep at night." I looked over at Edward and Bella and she was about 5 feet away from him. And he looked sad, so I'm guess they got into a little fight, but I'm sure they'll be over it by the time were ready to leave.
"That's fine. She'll sleep while the other, plus ourselves are around the fire." Who this really work, though? Would Emmett plan a trick on Bella and sneak off, so he can put the plan in action?
"You know how Edwards going to want to be in the tent with Bella, so nothing happens to her. How do you think the others will feel? Even though we know that there not doing anything, the others will feel like its unfair. Don't you think?" Esme asked.
She has a point, but whats the point in not doing it? If it doesn't work out then we wont do it ever again, but if it does. Well we found something we can always do as a family. "I see where your coming out, but I still think we should give it a try."
I looked out over to all our kids. Rosalie was still chasing Jasper around and Alice and Emmett were still glaring and yelling. "Stop it, Rosalie! Stop chasing him!" Alice yelled. "No, no, Rosalie, keep chasing him! Take his skinny ass down!" Emmett yelled and clapped his hands when Rosalie closed closer to him and Alice growled.
"Damn it, Jasper, get back here!" Rose yelled when Jasper picked up the pace and gained a little more distance.
"You'll never take me alive, bee-och!" He yelled back then broke into laughter which slowed him down and Rose caught up to him and pouched.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" I yelled and everyone froze and looked my way. "You will all calm down and act your age. Now, your mother and I have come up with an idea, so we can get to know you better." I paused, so those words could soak in. "We are planning on a camping trip now. It will start tomorrow morning, when Bella wakes up. I do not want any complains, only agreeness. Am I heard?" They all nodded there heads, but dared not to voice their true opinions.
