"How do we get her to shut up?" Emmett yelled over Missie's howling desperately trying to calm her down.
"I don't know!" Edward yelled back trying to calm Missie down.
"Jasper can you calm her down?" Edward asked.
"A little busy at this moment." Jasper, who at the moment was trying to get Olivia's shirt back over her head, answered annoyed.
"I'll get her you get Missie and calm her down." Edward said walking over to him. Jasper handed the shirt to him and took Missie and held her close to his chest murmuring to her softly. Before long her howls turned to whimpers then sniffles. In the meantime, Olivia ran and latched onto Emmett's leg and buried her face in his knee.
"Help." She whimpered. Emmett bent down and swooped her up.
"You can't run around naked the rest of the day Olivia." He chuckled. She nodded and Emmett shook his head.
"No you can't." He said Olivia pouted.
"No." Emmett said again sternly. She pouted and Edward quickly pulled the shirt back over her head. She huffed and struggled to get down. Emmett sighed and sat her down and she ran to the stairs.
"Where are you going Olivia?" Edward asked. She didn't answer and crawled up the stairs.
"She'll be coming down soon. She's hungry." Jasper said quietly from behind them where he was still cuddling Missie, who had drifted asleep in his arms.
"Should we go ahead and make them dinner?" Emmett asked sitting down on the sofa beside Jasper.
"We'll wait for a while." Edward said sitting down on the piano stool and running his fingers over the keys. It was silent for a while before they heard a crash and a scream. Missie woke up and began crying again while Edward ran upstairs with Emmett hot on his heels. They found Olivia in Edwards's room next to a pile of glass on the wood floor. Olivia held her bleeding finger. Edward scooped her up in his arms and she sobbed into his chest. He rocked her gently back and forth and carried her to the bathroom where Emmett was pulling bandages out of the cupboard. Edward sat her down by the sink and tried to calm her down while Emmett bandaged her finger.
"It hurts!" She cried.
"I know sweetie he'll be done in a second." Edward said softly stroking her hair and kissing her forehead. Emmett finished cleaning her finger and wrapped a band aid around it.
"See that wasn't so bad was it?" Edward asked hugging her again. She whimpered and he chuckled.
"Now what were you doing in my room?" He asked pulling away and looking her in the face.
"I wanted to play." She said.
"With what? All your toys were downstairs." Edward said looking at her sternly. She shrugged and looked down.
"Take her back downstairs while I clean up the mess." he said picking her Olivia up and handing her to Emmett. She held her finger out to him.
"Kiss it." She ordered. Emmett smiled and kissed her finger where the band aid was and carried her towards the stairs while Edward made his way to his room to clean up the glass and to see what she had broken. He shook his head when he saw what it was.
"What did she break anyway?" Emmett asked as Edward came down the stairs a while later.
"A crystal vase Esme put up in my room yesterday until she could find a place to put it where they wouldn't reach it." Edward sighed.
" Esme won't be too happy will she?" Jasper asked from the floor where Missie was sitting in his lap watching TV and stroking her blonde curls. Her eyes were red from crying and she sniffed every once in a while. Emmett looked at Olivia and smiled.
"Well at least I'm not the one that broke it." He said ruffling her hair. She grinned up at him and he laughed and began tickling her.
"Jasper!" Jasper looked down at the child in his lap who was staring up at him with a frown.
"What?" He asked. She turned her body, sat on her knees, grabbed his hand and put it on her head. Jasper laughed and wrapped his arms around her in a tight hug. She giggled and petted his head. Edward laughed and turned to the kitchen to start Missie and Olivia's dinner. Missie sat back down and looked back at the TV and Jasper lay back on the floor and closed his eyes. Missie soon got bored of the TV and toddled into the kitchen where Edward waited for a pot of water to boil. He smiled when he saw her coming and he knelt down in front of her.
"Jasper getting boring?" He asked. She grinned and nodded. Edward frowned.
"You know you hardly ever speak." He said.
"Yes I do!" She said in defense with a lisp.
"Okay I'm sorry." Edward said raising his hands with a smile. She frowned turned away. He grabbed the back of Missie's dress and tugged back into his arms and began tickling her and she giggled. Just then the water on the stove began to boil over and Edward jumped up to turn it off.
"Why don't you go tell Olivia, Emmett and Jasper that dinner is ready?" He said turning back to Missie. She nodded and toddled back to the living room with her thumb in her mouth. Olivia was trying to tickle Emmett again and Jasper was still lying on the floor with his hands behind his head. Missie grinned and ran as fast as her little feet could carry her over to Jasper and climbed on his chest. Jasper's eyes snapped open and he grinned up at her.
"Your eyes were closed." She giggled. Jasper sat up and caught her before she tumbled to the floor.
"Eddie said dinner is ready." She said as Jasper straitened her dress. He smiled when he heard her call Edward "Eddie".
"Well let's go in the kitchen with 'Eddie' then." He laughed standing up and carrying her over his shoulder. She shrieked with giggles and he smiled wider.
"Emmett it's time for them to eat." He said shoving Emmett's shoulder with his foot. Emmett sat up and grabbed Olivia's hands and nodded before standing up and swooping Olivia up and carried her under his arm into the kitchen.
"After they finish eating we probably need to give them their baths." Edward said as he placed two bowls on the two high chairs. Jasper and Emmett placed the two children into the high chairs and sat down at the table while they ate. Jasper's phone rang and he answered it.
"Carlisle is going to be late tonight so you will probably be in bed when he gets home and we won't get home until he does. You think you guys can take care of the kids till we get home?" Alice spoke fast.
"Yes I'm sure we can." Jasper answered with a smile.
"Okay we'll talk to you later." Alice said hanging up. Jasper shook his head and looked back at the children and was stunned to see Olivia dumping her bowl over Missie's head.
"Olivia!" He cried diving to grab her hand and Edward and Emmett looked around at them. But Jasper was too late and the gooey yellow noodles landed on Missie and she shrieked in surprise. Jasper wrenched the bowl out of her hand.
"Olivia Cullen why did you do that?" Jasper cried as Edward grabbed a dish and began to clean Missie.
"I didn't want it." Olivia shrugged.
"If you didn't want it then you should have said so." Emmett said sternly as Edward picked Missie out of the highchair and rocked her back and forth in an effort to calm her down, getting cheese all over him in the meantime. Olivia shrugged again and looked down at her lap.
"Am I in trouble?" She asked looking up at Emmett.
"Yes you are. I'm going to give you your bath then you're going to bed." Emmett said pulling her out of the highchair.
"I'll take Missie to my bathroom and get her clean." Jasper said cradling the sniffling child in his arms. Edward began cleaning as Jasper and Emmett left the kitchen.
