A/N: I know a lot of you are tired of my excuses, but here goes another one I have graduated (YAY, it's a time of happiness, but also sadness), and as the lazy senior that I was, I never applied for any colleges, so that's what I've been doing. Plus, I won't lie to you, I really hate typing these things, LOL. They're just sitting there in my notebook. ANYWHO... Have you guy's read the first chappie of Breaking Dawn?? OME!! And what about the scene from the movie that was air on MTV? They really know how to make a girl cry, scream, hyperventilate, squeal like an idiot in front of company. LOL. So any way a much anticipated chapter of ADKOT.

BPOV:
So going to Alaska probably wasn't the best experiance of my life, after a few hours there we -the kids- were sent packing. . . .
An hour after dinner, and lots of stares from Carmen's guest, later, we were sitting in the large family room, including some of Eleazar's colleagues. We were scattered all over the room, I was sitting on the floor were all us 'kids' were, I was sitting between Edwards legs, I was resting on his chest. I had gotten a random book from Eleazar's library, it just so happened to be Shel Silverstein's Where The Sidewalk Ends, I was reading aloud so that anyone who wanted to hear could. About halfway through the book Carmen came in with hot chocolate for us and wine for the adults.
"Bella could I see you outside for a bit?" Emmett asked. I nodded and got up from the comfort of Edward's embrace. Em was waiting for me by the door with a cup of hot chocolate in one hand and my knee-length trench coat in the other. Once I had my coat on he handed me the hot chocolate, we stepped outside into the beautiful, freezing snow covered land.
"What's up Em?"
"Well dad told me, before he passed away, obviously,... He wanted to give you this for your birthday, but he send it out to be cleaned." He pulled out a white rectangular box, from his pocket.
When I opened it, my breath hitched, it was a beautiful gold locket on an elegant gold chain. The locket had an intricate 'R' and a pretty swan beside it. I felt the tears rolling down my face, this use to be my mom's locket, hence, the 'R', for Renee.
"Look inside," Em sad quietly, his voice sounded weird.
I looked inside the locket and inside was a picture folded several times so that it could fit. It almost fell to the ground but, luckily, Em caught it, I saw it and I could barely contain my sobs.
It was my mom on the hospital bed, looking pale, tired, yet extremely happy. She was holding a very red me, I was crying. A one-year-old Em was looking at me curiously and poking my eye, and dad was looking over all of us looking so sad, and yet so very proud.
The on either side of the locket there was a picture of my mom and dad, when they were young. Mom looked so beautiful and dad was extremely good-looking, he had all his hair then. They looked to be about eighteen, two years before I was born. I would truly cherish this gift forever. I gave Em a hug after he secured the necklace around my neck.
"Do you think he felt his time was coming?" I asked Em, referring to my dad, my voice was muffled against his chest.
"Why do you ask?"
"Because he gave me mom's wedding and engagement rings to give to you, so when you asked that special lady, coughRosaliecough!" He chuckled. "They're in my jewelry box, I'll give them to you whenever you ask." He hugged me tighter, you haven't had a hug until you've had one of Emmett's bear hugs.
"Okay let's get you back inside, I wouldn' want you to get a cold, and if that cough was any indication, it means I have to get you inside." I didn't realize how cold I was -in fact, I was shivering- until Em let go of me
"You okay?" Asked Edward, probably noticing me red eyes and nose.
"Yeah, I'm great!" And I truly was. I missed my dad, it was after all my first Christmas without him, but I'm taking it better then I would have thought.
"Good, cause I have another present for you. Don't make that face, you'll like it. I didn't spend a dime on this gift, I promise." He had already gotten me a charm bracelet, you could tell it was expensive.
He motioned for a guitar that was sitting in the corner with a hotpink bow on the neck of the guitar. I raised an eyebrow.
"Wow, you weren't kidding when you said you didn't spend a dime, huh? You stole it from my room." I said, that was my favorite guitar, the one my daddy gave me.
"Yeah, well, you either want me to spend money on you or you don't. Plus, that's not your gift, I'm going to play a song for you, one I wrote all by my lonesome."
"A song for me? I feel so loved!" I said a bit sarcastically.
"Well you will feel loved after this. Just listen."
"It's the way that you blush when you're nervous.
It's your ability to make me earn this.
I know that you're tired, just let me sing you to sleep.
It's about how you laugh out of pity,
'Cause lets be honest I'm not really that funny.
I know that you're shy, just let me sing you to sleep.
If you need anything, just the say the word.
I mean anything.
Rest assured, if you start to doze, then I'll tuck you in,
Plant my lips where your necklace is close.
He looked so handsome, sitting there playing and singing, oh could he sing. It looked like he was about to open up his headlining world tour. He had the incredibly tight black pants on, with a form fitting black button up dress shirt, and a white belt. But what really put everything together were the white DC Villian's that encased his feet
It's those pills that you don't need to take,
medicating perfection, now that's a mistake.
I know that you're spent, just let me sing you to sleep.
It's your finger and how I'm wrapped around it.
It's your grace and it keeps me grounded.
I know that you're weak, just let me sing you to sleep.
This song seemed so familiar. I gasped I had heard it before. He would often hum this rhythm to me, when I couldn't go to sleep. I didn't know that it had words to it or that it was an Edward original.
If you need anything, just the say the word.
I mean anything.
Rest assured, if you start to doze, then I'll tuck you in,
Plant my lips where your necklace is close.
While you were sleeping I figured out everything,
I was constructed for you, and you were molded for me.
Now I feel your name, coursing through my veins.
You shine so bright it's insane, you put the sun to shame.
(Oh)"
I joined in here, I knew this part was the same, he repeated it a couple of times throughout the song. It was truly beautiful, and really did feel loved.
EmPov:
I can't believe that Edward actually went as far as to write my little sister a song, and a lullaby at that. I don't exactly know what was going through Bella's mind, but when I heard her sing along with Edward, I knew…I knew that they were meant to be, even if Bells didn't yet. I also knew that they would encounter hard times, and that the there would be heartache for them both, but they would overcome the obstacles that life through there way. And if Tanya's glare was anything to go by, she would be one of those obstacles.
"If you need anything, just the say the word.
I mean anything. (I really do)

When the song came to a close I saw the look that in there eyes, yeah, that was love I saw. The same love I was when Rose looked at me or when Alice and Jasper looked into each other's eyes. I don't think they knew that they loved each other yet, at least not Bella. Or maybe she did and it scared her so much that she didn't quite want to come to terms with it yet. She could be so stubborn sometimes. She never let anyone into her heart, to be honest I'm surprised that she let all these knew people into her life so easily and quickly.
"Wow, I didn't know you could sing Edward." I commented breaking through everyone's thoughts.
"Oh. My. Gosh." Alice said in what sound more like a multi-syllable squeal then actual words. "Your voiced danced together so perfectly, I thought there were real angels in the room." She finished, filming everyone's reaction on Bella's camera. When she got the camera was beyond me.
I'm not sure if Edward and Bella actually heard anything that came out of everyone's mouths, they were too busy drowning in each other's each, basking in each other's presence. Green met dark grey, it looked like the answers to the world's most encased secrets were hidden in their eyes.
Man when did I start to sound like a soap opera writer. Man up Emmett old boy, there would definitely have to be a serious guy's day out: rock climbing, surfing, babe watching, basketball, all that good stuff, I was mentally numbering them off in my head.
I heard a gasp, a scream, and a "You bitch!"
Next thing I know Rose was on top of Tanya, slapping and pulling her hair. Edward was trying to hold Bella back, though I know that she could easily escape if she wanted. I was completely lost to what had happened, Jasper and Alice were trying to get Rose away from Tanya, and Carlisle and Eleazar were trying to calm Tanya down. I was so lost I didn't even think about helping, plus I hadn't seen a good fight in a while, and it being Rose that was beating the crap out of another girl made it even that more appealing.
I finally got my ass out of that couch and made my way to Rose.
"What the hell happened?" I asked.
"The girl," she pointed at Tanya "had the nerve to over to my little sister and pour a glass of wine on her. Do you know how much that cost? Not to mention the difficulty we had trying to get Bella to put it on?" She then turned to Tanya, "Just because Edward loves Bella, and not you, gives you no excuse to be a bitch! If Edward didn't bother with you before, what makes you think he would want you now?" Man a mad Rosalie was a hot, sexy Rosalie. I wanted to throw her over my shoulder and take her to her room to ravish her.
Tanya just ran up the stairs, seems to me that's all she was good at, disappearing.
After I checked on Bella, I told Edward to take her upstairs. Bella was mad, and a mad Bella was no good. Apparently Bella grabbed a hold of Tanya's wrist and twisted it around just before Rose got in on the action.
EdPOV:
Once I got Bella to her room, she started undressing. As much as I would have liked to see her gorgeous body, I had way too much respect for her to do that.
When a pillow hit me on the back I had to look back. There she was a picture of beauty in her fluffy robe, she was taking out her extensions, the ones she had barely gotten put in.
"I'm gonna take a shower, you should go get ready for bad as well, I wouldn't ask you to leave, but I have a feeling people are gonna come up here to talk to me." She said finally got the last piece out of her hair, I noticed it was now down to her shoulder blades rather than her waist.
She walked over to me and hugged me around my waist. I hugged her back and rested my head on her, she fit perfectly with me. She was so fragile, she was taller than Alice, but not by too much, and she looked and felt so fragile in my arms. She pulled back and stood on her toes to give me a kiss, I met her half way. I chuckled when I pulled away.
"What's so funny?" She asked with a smile on her face.
"Can you imagine? Ha Ha, we have enough trouble kissing with the height difference. Can you imagine Alice trying to reach Jasper. I should have gotten her a step-up latter for Christmas. Ha Ha Ha. I can imagine it now. Jasper is leaning down, all of a sudden Alice is like, "Wait, let me get me step-up.""
"You are mean Edward," Hm, I guess I was but it didn't stop her laughing along with me. She was still in my arms so i could feel her shaking against me, and the mirror was right behind her so I could see how her little tush shook when she laughed.
"Okay, go, I need to get this wine out of my hair."
When I got to my room Jasper and Emmett were already in my room.
"Guess what? They kicked us out, well, they didn't put it that way but, I could tell that Carmen sure as hell doesn't want us here, especially you and Bella." Jasper said.
"That's fine by me, I always hated coming here," I said making my way to the closet, " I guess it's a good thing that I didn't unpack huh?"
"Yeah I just hope that, they don't blame Carlisle and Esme." Emmett added, I nodded. "So that lullaby, how did it come to existance, and can you help me right one for Rose?" He asked with a smile on his face. . . .
So that's why we were here at the airport in California in the wee hours of the morning, driving to Bella's and Emmett's house on the beach. Not that I minded, I had never been to a place so warm, when it was supposed to be winter.

A/N: The name of the song was Lullby by The Spill Canvas (I had a hard time choosing, it was between this one and Your Guardian Angel by The Red Jumpsuit Appartus), great song, if you havn't heard it you should.
So the gang are in Cali, without parental supervision (for a little while), what will happen now?? Let's just say this is where the plot truly begins. I also added Emmett's POV in there, just for a kick. And thank you for all that reviewed the last chappie, so after carefull consideration i decided i would continue the story as a solo project, but that for all that wanted to help, YOU GUYS ARE SWEETHEARTS!!
