Prompt: Surprise

"Carlisle, our dear cousin!"

Flying over the front door steps, she would throw her arms about his shoulders. Without stumbling his arms would encircle about her waist briefly. Stepping back, Tanya would beam in delight. It was rare for the sisters to have visitors, especially of their own kind.

"It's been decades-"Inhaling, Tanya would pause; noting a new scent. It contrasted sharply with Carlisle's gentle, hazel and cinnamon scent; betraying a near feminine, honey like scent.

'I wonder if he found his mate?'

Questioningly she would look back towards him. Noting her confusion, Carlisle would smile.

"Tanya, I'd like you to meet my son, Edward."

'Son? They can't possibly be-'

From behind him stepped a young man; his gold irises glinting in the sunlight. Wearing a knee-length beige coat; complimented with a navy scarf about his neck, it was clear that he was one of them. No human would have survived wearing such little coverage, not with the Alaskan winter.

'So handsome' She thought pleased. Besides Carlisle, she hadn't met with another male vampire in a few decades. Seeing his tussled hair, she had an urge to run her fingers through it.

"You're a sire now!" Tanya exclaimed; clapping her hands together. "It's nice to meet you, Edward." She added, her gaze drinking him in. He couldn't have been older than a teenager; his chiseled yet petulant features betraying his youth.

A mere deliciously looking child compared to her.

'I wonder if Carlisle would leave him in my care for a year or two...' She mused. She and her sisters could use some male company. Especially if that male was a vampire.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Stiffly he would bow his head in greeting. Flicking his guarded stare to Carlisle, he would seem exasperated; his lower lip curling in distaste. "Tanya."

"Come now" Linking one arm through Edward's, the other through Carlisle's, she would guide them up the path. "We simply must get to know one another, Edward!"

He grimaced.
