Affection Says it All: Part 2

Twilight/Harry Potter

Rating: This part of the story is still T+. So, don't worry, I'll warn you if there is something to be warned about!

Summary: The Cullen family has moved twice since the time Caden was almost murdered by Bella Swan. Now, they moved to Alaska to start over. Caden is two ½ years old, and is the 'child' of Rosalie and Emmett now, as a show for protection of the little Cullen. Caden seems to know what his mom and dad are trying to do, and wants to help them, while he tries to figure out with his two year old mind how to cope with the odd, scary dreams he has at night. That doesn't mean Caden can't have some fun in the mean time with his new 'parents'.

Part 2 Chapter 1: A School Day For Caden


Caden had spent most of the morning with his new friend, Dominique, as they played separately from the others. Caden didn't know what to do, but Dominique seemed to know and led him around as he held his hand. Both boys had played color games with a few of the adults, and they seemed to be surprised that Caden knew so much about the colors when he was only two when his friend was four and knew most of the colors, but none the less; played the games with him and Dominique. Caden didn't know why the other kids screamed during the day. Caden never did that, or Dominique. While Caden wanted Edward; he wouldn't do that. Plus, Dominique didn't have anybody here with him either, so Caden was sure he could do it too.

The elderly woman had given Caden his Asthma treatment on schedule, and Caden did what he was supposed to. When he got his snack, he shared it with Dominique that shared his own, much to the teachers' fondness. The other children paid no mind to Caden or Dominique during the day at all. They only played with the others that liked to scream, and Caden didn't know why. To Caden; screaming didn't get what you wanted even though he never tried, so what's the point? Dominique didn't scream once, along with another boy that sat alone until Caden and Dominique sat with him and played with some blocks. The other boy was an Asian boy and he had turned three a few months ago, with glasses that made him look bug-eyed that had stayed quiet, but he liked to hand random blocks or toy soldiers to Dominique or Caden to add to their odd pile. The teachers were quite surprised that Victor was even playing with someone at all, but to see two boys with him was something else, though they didn't complain.

By the time lunch came; Rosalie and Emmett came to the daycare to pick up Caden for lunch, Caden left with them after looking to his new friends before leaving in the arms of his dada. Rosalie had spoken to the teacher for a few minutes and had signed him out for lunch before following her mate to the cafeteria. The other family members were waiting by the doors that led inside the cafeteria for them, and they all greeted the quiet Caden that reached for Edward. Edward had taken his little mate quickly and felt him tighten his grip on his shirt as they walked into the lunch room. Everyone in the lunch room stared openly at them and whispered about them and how the black haired boy was the hot blonde's and the burly man's child. Emmett held in a chuckle, but gave a wide grin to Jasper as he slung his arm possessively around Rosalie's shoulders and she appeared conceited as she looked to Alice who stuck her tongue out at her sister in jest.

Edward rolled his eyes humanly as he held on the clingy two year old as they made their way to the lunch line for the food that they wouldn't eat. After the lunch ladies cooed over the shy green-eyed boy that held to his 'uncle', they handed the 'mother' some food that they prepared for the children of the school and said that she didn't need to pay extra because it was linked to her account or the 'father's'. Rosalie thanked them fully as Emmett paid for their food after losing a game of 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' with Jasper as to who would pay. Emmet had lost with a muffled curse that made both teenage girls and the other teenage boys glare at him for saying it around Caden, and he apologized quickly so he wouldn't get smacked and paid for the lunches while the smug Jasper put an arm around Alice and walked away. Edward felt himself roll his eyes again at his antics and shake his head when he followed them with Caden staring at his milk pointedly.

''Is he allowed to drink that?'' Emmett asked as he examined the carton to see if it said whole milk. He found the label and it said skim milk. He gave a quick call to Carlisle with some people staring at him while he asked his father if 'Denver' was allowed to have the milk. Carlisle had stated that it shouldn't hurt his stomach to have some, but he couldn't drink too much or he really would get sick.

Rosalie heard the conversation, but asked anyway. ''Can he have it, Emmett?'' She asked while looking at her pseudo-son sitting in Edward's lap and starting to slowly eat the fruit cup with a baby spoon that Rosalie had brought with her from home. They were the perfect size for Caden's hand, and he held onto them perfectly.

Emmett shook the jug of milk before opening it and taking the small sippy cup from Rosalie and poured it into it, before he handed it to the waiting Caden. ''Yeah, Carlisle says that he should be fine, just as long as he doesn't drink too much or he'll get really sick.'' He told them as he started to pick from his food and pretended to eat it.

Alice looked over Caden from her spot next to Jasper and Rosalie. ''He's very quiet, though.'' She said uncertainly to Rosalie who looked to her left to see Caden actually hadn't made a sound at all.

Jasper gazed at the small Cullen that took another bite from his cut up hot dog. ''He just started today, Alice. He'll get used to the change soon enough. Carlisle had stated that it's normal for him to be uncomfortable around new people for the first time.'' He explained.

Emmett gazed at his son as well on his own left from his place next to Rosalie and Edward. ''But he's been to the park a few times in Canada and played with other kids just fine.'' He mused over the memory. ''Though he looked at them like they were aliens.'' The burly Cullen laughed, making some other student turn around along with the children of the parents who just either stared or laughed childishly.

Alice scoffed. ''Babies are aliens.'' She stated, making Rosalie stare at her pointedly. ''What? They are! Something that slimy comes out of you along with blood and a placenta, and they stare at you with those big eyes that enchant you, and suck your boobies as they steal your milk; that's after it leeches off of you for months inside of you!'' She told her with her eyes glittering.

Jasper pushed his food tray away. ''I'm not hungry anymore.'' He told them firmly after hearing Alice say that.

Edward shared a laugh with their table as Caden looked at them with confusion at what they were laughing about. Caden didn't know but he released his wide-smile at their laughs and his own laugh, making them cheer that he was back to normal. Edward was very satisfied that his mate was back to being happy, even if it was just a mood swing. Jasper felt his emotions right away, and told him he was love struck in his head. Edward didn't bother retaliating. Why deny the truth?


After lunch, they had taken Caden back to the daycare and went to their classes, and Caden had gone back to Dominique and Victor before the elderly woman had to give him his treatment again. The day went by semi-normally for Caden and soon enough; his momma came back to take him home after speaking to the daycare teachers again about his day. Caden had been no problem for them. He stayed quiet all day and played with Dominique and Victor and played nicely. He didn't scream or cry, hit, or throw anything; just like his playmates. Emmett had been relieved that his pseudo-son didn't learn how to throw a tantrum from the other kids.

Caden had left the school with most of the people looking at the family still. Caden didn't know why, but he was too busy holding on to Edward and not looking at anybody else. Luckily; his car seat was in Edward's Volvo and could ride with him and Rosalie as she was his 'mother' and Edward's biological sister to this town. Emmett, Jasper and Rosalie drove Emmett's monster of a Jeep that the students stared at when little Alice was lifted into it by the smirking Jasper in the middle of the front seat as he took the seat near the door, and Emmett drove with his sunglasses on, though not needed. Emmett motioned for Edward to roll down his window so he could say something.

''Yo, bro; Esme texted Alice saying to meet her at the McDonald's downtown near Carlisle's office. She wants to have family time and Carlisle just got off, so just follow me.'' Emmett told him, and Edward nodded and rolled the window back up as his brother pulled out with his Jeep roaring to life, and radio up for a show of him being 'cool', much to Jasper's distaste at what was playing. Jasper liked country music mostly, along with Alice who liked a variety of music genres, but Emmett loved rock and roll and plain rock. At least Emmett was playing Queen; something Jasper was able to tolerate, while his mate and Emmett rocked out to the song playing. Jasper was embarrassed by his brother, though he shouldn't even feel embarrassed as he was so used to it, but couldn't help that smirk when he saw Alice.

Edward shook his head with a sigh as he pulled out as well. ''At least Caden doesn't have to ride in that.'' He said thankfully.

Rosalie agreed as she looked back to her son that was playing with a random baby toy while Edward played his classical music that he loved so much. Rosalie was perfectly fine with the music as she didn't really listen to it, and Caden loved it, so why couldn't they listen to it? Caden kept his attention fixed on the puzzle toy in his hands that he looked at suspiciously as he yanked it, trying to get it off of the other circle and triangle, but to no luck. Caden didn't give up though as he tried a different tactic as Edward drove with the music playing. Eventually Caden was able to take off the triangle.

''Momma.'' Caden called, causing Rosalie to turn in her chair to see what he wanted, and became shocked that he was able to take off the shape from the others. She took it when he handed the shape to her and went back to the two circles. Rosalie showed it to Edward who was impressed.

''He's getting smarter. We should just get him a Rubik's Cube.'' Rosalie told him as she put it in the diaper bag to show Carlisle and Esme.

Edward chuckled and looked into the rear view mirror to gaze at the small boy that was pulling at the two circles with focus that only a two year old could pull off. Edward felt very proud of his little mate. More than anyone could think.

Eventually on the freeway, they got stuck in traffic for a while, and Emmett had put on Guns N' Roses' Paradise City and he and Alice were jamming out with numerous people staring at them in their cars with amusement at the small girl and the burly man head banging to that song. Jasper turned around in the Jeep to stare at Edward and Rosalie in the car behind them with desperate eyes and a blank look. Edward motioned to flee to his car with a smirk. Jasper jumped out of the Jeep with Alice, Emmett and other car riders laughing at him as he fled to Edward's Volvo. Rosalie had moved to be in between them as Jasper took the door seat again and breathed a sigh of relief.

''Thank you.'' Jasper simply stated with emotion as he easily relaxed to the classical music playing and Caden talking to himself. Edward and Rosalie laughed at their poor empathic brother as they watched Emmett and Alice continue to jam out to the radio like a bunch of loons. ''I don't know them, do you guys?'' Jasper asked feigning confusion.

Edward and Rosalie answered the same. ''No.''

And their answer made Caden laugh as he called out for his momma again to hand her the other circles that he took apart finally. Jasper looked on as Rosalie showed Edward again with a blonde eyebrow raised, and Jasper was impressed and looked back to his brother to see had gotten another toy from his seat holder and played with it to amuse himself. ''We should get him a Rubik's Cube.'' Jasper told them, unknowingly parroting Rosalie.

Rosalie nodded and Edward easily reached into his glove box in front of Jasper to get out another puzzle toy for Caden and keeping perfect control of the car that had started to move again on the exit ramp. This one was more challenging, and wooden, so Caden would have to be watched while he played with it so he didn't hurt his baby teeth if he bit it to relieve pressure in his mouth from the others coming in. Rosalie looked on and gave aside nod as he handed her the unopened puzzle cube so she could take it out and give it to him.

''This might work for a few weeks.'' Rosalie said hopefully as she tore the plastic off carefully and out of view of the windows so people didn't see a petite blonde, teenage mother opening a plastic covered toy with no help. Jasper took the plastic to put it in his backpack to throw away later, as she turned around to hand the toy to the Caden that gave his toy to his momma to take the newer one and play with it. Rosalie turned back around in the seat with the toy to see what it was and put it in the diaper bag she had with her. Carlisle would be proud of his little boy, as would Esme.


A the Cullen children pulled into a McDonald's parking area, people stared and laughed at the sight of two people in the Jeep moving their heads to The Eye of the Tiger by Survivor. The Volvo pulled in and parked a little ways away from their crazy siblings with their parents standing outside and raising their eyebrows at their two children before turning to the other three. The two male teens in the Volvo showed their hands in surrender as they exited the car, as Rosalie smirked and released Caden from his seat and walked over to Esme that became excited at seeing her little boy. Carlisle went to the Jeep to help Alice out of the car as she called for help and Emmett was too busy laughing at her and trying to dodge her flying shoe aimed for his head.

''Hand me my shoe, you freak!'' Alice demanded as she hopped on one foot stupidly before Jasper took her arm to steady her unnecessarily. The customers stared and whispered in gossip, while the others chuckled at the family and went back to their partners to speak again about something or another.

Emmett continued to laugh as he snatched the flat off the concrete and threw it to Carlisle. Alice put on her shoe as Esme spoke to Rosalie as they entered the air conditioned building with the others following, and Alice piggy bag riding Emmett happily to which Jasper rolled his eyes and smirked before Carlisle told her to get off her brother.

''So how did Denver do at school with you?'' Esme asked her daughter as she held on to Caden who watched Carlisle order some drinks, and a packet of apples and juice for Caden.

Rosalie was aware of all the stares she got when some of the others noticed that the child was hers, and thought the burly man was the father from his black hair and his wrapping his arms around Rosalie and cuddling into her neck like he always did. ''The teacher said he did fine. He was quiet, didn't scream, fuss, or throw anything.'' She said as they stood to the side to wait for the food. Jasper and Alice went to get their sodas that they wouldn't drink along with Edward after he tapped Caden's nose playfully and making him laugh. Carlisle stood next to Esme and took his son from her with a proud look on his face, which the humans took as a grandfather's pride in his grandson; when in reality, he was proud of Caden for being his baby boy, and being so smart and lovable.

''Did he meet any friends?'' Carlisle asked as a worker handed the tray over of Caden's food and he took it with a thanks as he led everyone to a large table, and set Caden on his lap to eat his opened apples.

Emmett nodded and laid his arm back over Rosalie's shoulders possessively. ''Yeah, the teacher said he played with two people all day; Dominique and Victor who has Autism, and usually never interacts with anyone. Today was the first.'' He said easily as he forced himself to take a drink of the tasteless pop.

Esme looked proudly to her baby. ''Denver made friends?'' She asked him, making Caden look to her and he smiled widely and laughed.

Rosalie took a sip of her own pop before answering. ''Yes, they were the other two three and four year-old children that are always quiet and play alone; Dominique hadn't left his side all day and never left except for lunch when we ate with him.'' She said happily and stole an apple and threw it at Alice. ''Until Alice disgusted everyone, that is.'' She ousted her sister.

Alice took the apple and tossed it to Edward who put it back on the tray. ''I just explained why babies are aliens. You just didn't like the recreation of the birthing process.'' Alice told her with a bored look, making Rosalie return glare ten-fold.

''Would you like a remembrance of seven hours of labor from a baby that wouldn't push pass your pelvic bone without force?'' Rosalie asked her and raised her eyebrow. Some of the customers looked in pity at the teenager and the baby before going back to their meals and partners.

Emmett made a pouty face at his mate. ''I don't. Your pain hurt me, baby. Seeing Denver not come out freaked me out. I thought you would have to get a C-Section because you're so small. I about passed out.'' He said convincingly. Carlisle and Esme were surprised how well their children came up with stories on the birth of Caden when he was actually adopted and not their names on the adoption papers.

Edward made an agreeing noise. ''Try being her younger brother, and inside the room as well.'' He challenged his brother as he took Caden from his father and not-so-sneakily gave him a sip of soda to see what he would do.

The table watched Caden take his first drink of the soda with Alice and Rosalie filming on their phones with smirks. The guys watched on with anticipation and the parents looked on disapprovingly, but smirked as well. Caden took a small sip and immediately made the cutest face in the girls' minds and spit it all out in front of him and continued making his face as the table laughed at him. The other customers saw the face he made and let out chuckles as well at the baby that pushed Edward's drink away with his disgusted face.

''No! Euwe.'' Caden exclaimed in his baby talk and rubbed at his mouth to get rid of the taste. Edward chuckled helplessly as he wiped Caden's mouth down and Carlisle passed him his water and Esme giggled as she wiped the table down as Jasper gave her more napkins while stifling his chuckles. Caden looked distrusting at the other cup that Edward took from his daddy before his curiosity got the better of him and he took another sip. Once he found out it wasn't the nasty stuff, he took a few sips before Edward took it away and handed it back.

The table went quiet as Caden looked at everyone innocently before he stated; ''Euwe.'' making the whole table burst out laughing again.
