Chapter 4

'They're going to be here in a few minutes,' Alice said.

'Renesme, I love you!' Bella said handing her, her car keys. 'Jake go with her and make sure you stay away until we call you,'

'Like I wouldn't go with her!' he replied.

'Hurry! You only have ten more minutes before they arrive, nine now,'

'Ok, we're going,'

'Bye Renesme,' Edward said.

'Eight,'

Renesme and Jacob went out to the car and the Cullens listened to them drive away.

'Four,'

'Act normal,'

'Act as though your doing something,' Carlisle said as Esme stood up a put a load of washing in the washing machine. Jasper was waiting for the water to boil as they all listened to gravel crunching outside the house as a car drove over it, then a car door slamming shut and hushed voices, then footsteps. The doorbell rang and Edward stood up.

'I'll get it,' Edward said.

'Hello, I'm agent Seeley Booth and this is Doctor Temperance Brennan, Booth said as Edward opened the door.

'Oh, you two,' Edward said unpleasantly. 'Come in,'

'Tea?' Jasper asked as they entered.

'Yes please,' Booth said.

'We won't be here for long so no thankyou,' Temperance said.

Edward sat down next to Bella and Jasper gave Booth some tea.

Carlisle pretended to sip some tea.

'So. You have a large family,'

'Yes,' Esme said.

'I am Carlisle, this is my wife Esme and our adopted children: Jasper, Alice, Edward, Rosalie and Emmett,' he said pointing to each person at a time. 'Bella married my son Edward and joined the family, Rosalie married Emmett and Jasper married Alice,' Carlisle said as Booth sipped some tea.

'Pfff,' Booth spat out the tea.

'Is there a problem?'

'No, not at all,'

So Emmett kissed Rosalie and said.

'You're a hot sister!'

Booth choked on his tea.

'Please be polite to our guests Emmet,'

'The reason I came down here, as I'm sure you heard, your daughter Alice and daughter in law Bella found some bones while burying their pet deer,'

'Yes, we've only been here a few weeks and he's already dead, we brought him here when we found him on the road, as we were driving here,' Carlisle said. 'I'm not a vet but I am a doctor so we bandaged him up and because Alice and Bella wanted to keep him in case he got hurt again, we kept him in our large backyard, fed him and gave him shelter,'

'Sounds like you did a good job or caring for it, so can we see where you kept the deer?'

'You may, Edward would you show our guests the way, maybe you could show them the paintings in the hallway on the way, I need to wash the dishes,' Carlisle stood up and left the room, the other Cullens heard him making it look as though a deer had lived in the backyard.

'Ok, follow me,' Edward said standing up, the others stood up too and Edward led them through the hallway with all the painting, walking slowly as to give Carlisle enough time, then all the way to the other side of the gigantic house and out the backyard door.

Carlisle had gone and was just coming towards them as they stepped outside.

'There, the backyard,' Edward said picking up a half eaten and slobbered on blanket and putting it to the side with a disgusted face. 'I don't want to know how Carlisle did this,' he said so low that only the Cullens could hear. Bella giggled.

'Samuel will always be remembered,' Emmett giggled.
