I own nothing! It's all S.M.'s! :(


Last time on Cullen Family Vacation:

He was so into it, in fact, that he didn't think twice before doing the part where they run up the wall. It looks cool in the video, but for a huge, vampire man to do it, it's a little dangerous.

Why is it dangerous? Well, at that very moment, we felt the room shake, followed by a sound coming from the kitchen. A sound that stopped Emmett in his tracks. A sound that ended the laughter of five hysterical vampires. A sound that made us all fear for our lives... A sound that shook us to our core; the sound of something falling and breaking on the kitchen floor. Crap! Esme was going to kill us!

Chapter 14: Just Speaking the Truth, Bro!

We were all frozen in place when we heard that sound. Great, now Esme was going to kill us for breaking something and Carlisle was going to kill us again for angering Esme. Crap! Stupid dancing vampire!

"Oh no!" Jasper said, darting off into the kitchen. We all followed.

There, in the middle of the kitchen floor, lay the traitor teapot, mocking us. It was Esme's favorite antique teapot, and it was broken, in two pieces. Jasper bent down and picked up the wounded piece of ceramic. The handle had broken off. Yep, Esme was going to flip. We were all silent, not knowing what to say. Then, Jasper spoke.

"Dammit Emmett! Why do you have to be so reckless al the time? You broke Esme's teapot! Her favorite teapot! An antique! What are we going to do? We can't by a new one, even if we had any money! She's going to kill us Em!"

"Calm down, Mama's boy!" Emmett yelled. Jasper growled and lunged at him.

"I'm not a Mama's boy! I'm just not a big ass like you! I know how to follow the few directions our parents give us! Don't break anything? How hard is that?" Jasper screamed, inches from Emmett's face.

Jasper was about to attack, but luckily, Edward got there first, managing to hold Jasper back with Alice's help. Rose was trying to pull Emmett away, but was having no luck. I saw the look in Emmett's eye. He was pissed! He was going to pounce on Jasper at any second, breaking even more of the rules and probably more of the house. And then I saw the teapot, still in Jasper's hands. Crap! This was not good. What do I do? Think Bella, Think! And then I remembered a detail from earlier today.

I jumped forward, landing directly in front of Emmett and growled in his face. "Stop it Emmett! Don't even think about it. He still has the teapot in his hands and we are not going to get ourselves in even more trouble," I yelled, full of force. I saw Emmett cower. He really was afraid of me! He calmed down; at the same time I heard Jasper's growls and struggle stop. Good. It worked. Time to solve this problem! "Now, why don't you go to Carlisle's study and see if you can find some super glue, Em. Then maybe we can glue it back together and buy ourselves some time before Esme notices," I finished.

"Good idea Bells!" Emmett praised, before taking off upstairs.

"Yeah, good idea. I hope this works. I hate upsetting Mom," Jasper said, a pained look on his face.

"Don't worry honey, it'll be fine," Alice comforted him.

Edward wrapped his arms around my waist, "Nice work, love, that was pretty hot!" Edward whispered into my ear. I giggled, turned to him and gave him a short kiss. Just then, Emmett bounded down the stairs.

"Got it!" He announced, tossing the glue to Jasper, who immediately got to work. Seconds later he was done, setting the teapot back on the counter. It looked good, at least good enough to buy us a little time to search antique websites for a replacement.

"And, I found something else," Emmett continued. "I guess the 'rents weren't as mad at me as they claimed they were!"

"What do you mean, Em?" I asked, curious.

"I mean, if they were so mad, why would they have bought me a gift?" He said, holding up a small box and note.

"They bought you a gift?" Alice shrieked, "For what? No fair! What is it?"

"I don't know. I just found this in Carlisle's drawer," he said, opening the box to reveal a set of keys. "I don't know what they're for, but I plan to find out!" Emmett said as he started to make his way to the sliding glass door.

"Emmett, wait! If they bought you a gift, you don't want to ruin the surprise. Why don't you wait until they actually give it to you?" I tried to talk some sense into him.

"What does the note say?" Edward asked. Emmett passed him the note. He read it, then passed it to me before darting over to take the keys from Emmett.

I read it. To our favorite kid. Here's something special for your special day!

Favorite kid? I didn't think them the kind to have a favorite, at least publicly. And what special day was this referring to? Everyone had special days coming up, except me of course.

After this week, we would go camping for a week with the pack. Then, us Cullen's were jetting off to Paris. It was in Paris that everyone would have their moment in the spotlight, everyone but me, of course.

Emmett and Rosalie were having their tenth wedding. Of course, it would be a huge, blowout celebration and we would be the wedding party. Edward had a piano concert, organized by some of Carlisle's friends in France. They wanted to hear Edward play, so they had gotten together a venue and sold-out audience of fans of 'Anthony Mason's' work. Alice had her first ever fashion show, showcasing her fall collection. Of course, she was forcing us all to be her models. Yippie! And then there was Jasper. This year would mark his fortieth anniversary of 'vegetarianism'. He had been with the Cullen's since 1950, but had made a couple slip-ups in the beginning. Now, he was forty years clean and going stronger than ever! Alice had organized a dinner party and celebration to mark this special day for him, but it was a surprise. So, everyone but me had special days coming up, I guess the gift was not for me. But who was it for?

"Hey!" Emmett yelled. "Give them back!"

"Not gonna happen, brother. I don't know what on earth would make you think that you are their favorite child. We all know that title belongs to me!"

"Bull! Plus, he obviously got it for me for my wedding! What special day do you have coming up? You're little recital?" Emmett challenged.

"It's a concert, jerk. And I'm pretty sure that my first ever piano concert is a more special occasion than your tenth wedding Emmett!"

"Hey! If it's a wedding gift, then I'm sure it's meant for me, Em! You get the bride a gift, not the groom! I am your gift! Plus, we all know I'm their favorite daughter!" Rose chimed in.

"Hah!" Alice scoffed at Rose. "Of course I am their favorite daughter Rose, don't kid yourself! Plus, what's more special then my first fashion show, in Paris? The gift is obviously for me!"

"No! It's for me!" Emmett whined.

"You guys, we already have this figured out! I am most definitely their favorite child! They have told me themselves!" Edward boasted.

"They've told me the same thing!" Alice countered.

"Oh yeah right! They tell me that all the time!" Rose added.

"Yeah, well they tell me too," Emmett defended himself.

"So what? They have been telling me I was their favorite since before I was even officially family! They obviously tell us all that!" I called out. It was true. They were always telling me that I was their favorite child. They must tell us all this, sneaky parents of ours!

"Yeah, it's true. They tell me too. They have the same amount of love for all of us, I would know," Jasper backed me up.

"Well, regardless. The gift is obviously for me. I am their first born!" Edward said.

"Yeah, and you have been the pain in their asses ever since!" Emmett said, pissed.

"Oh, please. Don't confuse me with yourself Emmett."

"I'm not! Just speaking the truth, bro!"

"Would you all just shut up please? It's for me! Case closed!" Alice said, quite sure of herself.

"Well, if it's a bottle of Ritalin, I'm sure it is! I think it's time to up your dosage!" Edward commented. Why was he being so mean?

"Edward! That is not nice! Don't chastise someone for being happy," I chimed in.

"I'm sorry Bella, but the bouncing and happiness irritates you too," he explained. What a jerk! He sold me out!

"Oh, I see! So Mr. and Mrs. Emotional Mess think I'm too happy! What a surprise!" Alice was upset. Great.

"Hah! Good one Ali! That's pretty damn funny!" Emmett laughed.

"Of course you think it's funny Em! She didn't use any big words! You actually understood! I'm so proud of you!" Edward mocked.

"You are going a little overboard with the dumb jokes Edward. Why not try something a little more creative, you stupid bi-polar crybaby!" Emmett screamed, lunging at Edward. Rose caught him.

"No. Don't babe. It's not worth it. Just let it go," Rose spat at my husband.

"Yeah, you wouldn't want to lose an arm Em," Edward challenged.

"Oh please, Emmett beating you to a pulp would be like taking candy from a baby! Little weakling. Maybe I'll just take you out myself, not even little Miss Bella could protect you," she responded with a growl. Did she really just threaten my husband? And call me little?

"Of course he wouldn't need me to protect him, but I'd watch it if I were you. You wouldn't want 'little miss Bella' to mess up that pretty face of yours, would you?" I snarled at her, stepping in front of my husband.

"Me and my pretty face aren't scared of you, Bella!"

"You should be! Oh, and I'd protect that pretty face if I were you, because without it you are nothing but ugly!" I yelled, not thinking before the words left my mouth.

I heard gasps all around the room. Everyone seemed to freeze for a couple seconds, the room silent. Rose looked like she was going to kill me.

"Emmett?" Rose said.

"Yes honey?"

"Grab him!"

Everything was a blur. The next thing I knew, Emmett was whizzing past me, grabbing Edward and holding him tight. Why? Why was he holding him? Rose was snarling at me, crouched in the attack position. Alice and Jasper looked a little frightened. What is going on? And then I heard the two words that shook me to my core: "Bella, run!"

What did you think? Let me know! Reviews make Rose even more angry, and who doesn't like mean, bitchy Rose?

Don't forget to check out my new story. It's called "A Beautiful Mess" and it's a Jasper/Bella story. I hope you all will check it out... It's going to be a good one (I hope!)

K. I'll shut up now so you can review... :)
