A/N (Rose's 14, Alex and Nicky are 9, and Kate's 7, Amber, Charlotte and George are 8, and Hanna and Sarah are 9.)!! This chapter is dedicated to my reviewers! I love you guys!
Chapter 12 Bella's POV
I feel like I hardly know my kids anymore. Rose has been pretty attitude prone lately. I know it comes with the teenager turf, but it's still frustrating. She's also very stubborn and it really doesn't help her case at times. She's beautiful, but she doesn't seem to see herself clearly.
Alex and Nicky, on the other hand, are starting to be quite the little gentlemen. There fairly quiet, very perceptive, and read often. They get very good marks and I know their going to be extremely handsome. Definitely there father's sons, I believe, with looks and the better side of Edward's personality. Unfortunately, they currently also have a thing for pulling pranks on their sisters.
Kate is truly her own person. She's compassionate to the extreme and such a sweet heart. She has a very bubbly personality and is always in a good mood as she bounces around the house on a never-ending energy supply. She has the ability to get anyone to see the brighter side of something or get them laughing at just about everything.
Edward was the same as ever. He loved his kids more than anything in the world. He'd gone camping with Alex, Nicky and Midnight only last weekend and he was teaching Kate how to play piano. Rose and him, when they weren't fighting, were tight as well, they just had different ways of showing it, to put it one way.
I was finishing a call with Alice and Edward was beside me on the couch watching sports, when Rose came in the front door.
"Hey Rose," I called from the living room. It was then that I realized that there were two voices coming from the front hall. I came to investigate. I peaked around the wall separating the two areas. Rose was standing, and a guy I vaguely recognized was helping her out of her coat. She was talking animatedly to him before I came fully into the room. Her head snapped up and her cheeks became a telltale pink.
"Mum! Hi! Um… this is David. We were just going to go study for a science test. We'll be going now." She grabbed his arm and started pulling him upstairs when, Edward came to see who was there. He stopped dead in his tracks and his eyes narrowed when he saw David.
"Do I know you?" he asked, still watching David closely. David stopped, halfway on the stairs and pulled towards Edward, out of Rose's grip. Her eyes were wide and she was biting her lip nervously.
"David Gallagher." He said as he formally held out his hand. Stiffly Edward shook it.
"Oh! A few years ago, you walked with Rose on Halloween. You were a werewolf." David, Rose and I stared at him in surprise. How did he remember that after all this time? I suppose it did make sense though. He'd spent that entire evening glaring at him as he chatted with Rose so I guess his face was kind of burned into his mind.
"Yeah. That was me." He said after a moment. Rose came forward and jerked on his arm.
"We'll be going upstairs now." Rose said forcefully.
"Nice meeting you!" David called over his shoulder. I smiled watching their receding backs. Maybe a guy would lift Rose's spirits. She'd been in a bad mood lately. Edward didn't seem to agree.
"Did you see him?" he seethed in the kitchen. "He's obviously a delinquent of sorts." I laughed.
"A delinquent? Really, Edward! You're taking this too seriously. It seemed innocent enough. I think it's nice." He stared at me wide-eyed, incredulous.
"Innocent? Boys his age are after one thing." I had to laugh again.
"I don't think it's quite like that, and Rose knows better anyway. Just be happy for her right now. If I think it's getting more serious, I'll talk to her." He seemed slightly mollified and grudgingly agreed to ease up on him. I knew he just wanted to protect her, but I also knew we wouldn't always be with her.
Rose's POV
Dear Diary,
OMG!! So much to tell! So I was at school today, right? David came over to me again and we started talking and he mentioned he wasn't really getting the math homework we had so I asked him to come over after school to study together and he said okay. After he walked away, I realized that could be classified as a date. I really wasn't sure if he'd realized that though so I didn't say anything about. So Sally's mum drove Sally, David and me home and she dropped David and I off at my house. Dad seemed really ticked and I was scared he was about to kill David or something, but thankfully he didn't. David was such a gentleman when he introduced himself it was so cute!! Anyway, I rushed him up to my room and we started doing our homework on my bed. After a while I realized I didn't hear his pencil anymore. I looked up to him and he was staring at me. I kind of freaked out, thinking I had something on my face. Before I could ask, he kissed me!! David kissed me!! It was so sweet!! He left pretty soon after and mum kept giving me this, 'I know something happened, so you better tell me,' look, but it wasn't mean or anything just like she really wanted to know. It's a really good thing dad didn't notice though, because he'd be all over my case. I figure I should tell my mum for her sake and as a thank you for not telling dad. DAVID KISSED ME!! I can't get over it!
