Chapter Twenty: Reunited with Friends
Ariel giggled running to him "Of course you do" as he spins her around "Cam-Cam you cut your hair," she exclaimed in surprise.
Cameron chuckled "Well yeah Sophy insisted that I get a haircut before we move down here," he shrugged.
"I hope you didn't forget me?" Toby asked.
Aqua sighed "Of course not," she huffed running to her brother "Now we're all together again we just need mum and dad here and it will be complete," she sighed "Along with our new soon to be nephews and nieces to be born between February-April at least around there anyway," she explained.
"Of course, not being the only twins in this family besides the unborn twins besides those two," Aqua replied laying her head against his shoulder as she pointed at the red headed twins who grinned.
"Why thank you for the lovely introduction Blue—Cam… Jay… is that you…" the red headed twin squinting his eyes; well George we knew but, not his twin brother though.
"Of course, it's us. Hey Gred, Hey Forge welcome to Forks, Washington…how's Bill, Charlie and Percy?"
"Bill's good we just visit him this past summer in Egypt and Charlie's good too—Percy— "Fred shrugged "Percy's—I wouldn't know we didn't talk much since we left," he explained.
"Only because he's a total git," George snorted.
"Georgie don't be rude he's your brother," Ariel scolded him.
"You know I'm right babe, he didn't even— "George drifted off as he saw Ariel's dark look which shut him up.
"Didn't even what?" Jay asked.
"Nothing," Ariel and George quickly added.
Jay raised his eyebrow at the two "What are you two up too?"
"Up too?" Ariel smiled innocently "What makes you think I'm up to something big brother?"
Jay chuckled "Nice try baby Red. I know you better than anyone and don't think you can change the subject— "he scanned around the house "You know I'm a bit surprised you didn't recognize Sammy boy over here or the rest of our friends… since we've been best friends growing up before we moved away to England...plus it hasn't changed the much has it...right BJ? Toby?" he explained.
"I wouldn't go that far since uncle Charlie made some changes," Toby smirked.
"Like what?"
"Oh, you know… uncle Charlie is extending the mall—and added a bowling alley this past summer it's pretty popular with the young kids around your age,"
"Oii I have you know I'm not that old," Jay replied who looked offended by this.
"Oh, please it's not like you can age much," Ben snorted.
"True," Cameron gave a tired yawn "So what else did uncle Charlie do to change this place?"
"Uh guys sorry to interrupt your meaningful conversation but, will you please put down your hoods down considering we're indoors— "Aqua huffed squinting her eyes at her brothers "You two as well yeah I'm talking to you Tobias," she explained.
"How long has it been since we been home 7, 8, 9 years?" Jay paused as he slightly removing the hood showing himself "It seemed like it was only yesterday that we're only kids here moving to England because mum and dad wanted to extend their dentistry, right?" he explained.
"I would say ten years but, we pretty had a good life but, yes your correct about the town it hasn't changed much until we came along," Ben sighed casually "We all have the best security system in the whole entire town thanks to us," he explained.
"And do you really have to say my full name Aquarius since we both know I detest that name and leave it to you girls to be in a stranger's house no less but, I would say he's not exactly a stranger to us but, with you he might be since it's been eight years since you last saw the bloke," Toby began to say with a calm tone aura glowering his eyes at Sam and the pack who grew tense including myself as Sam grabbed Emily behind him then turned to Aqua "And I heard you the first time Blue-jay no need to scream my ears off woman. I'll reveal myself despite how you ruined the bloody surprise," he explained.
"What surprise?" Paul asked.
"Wait for it… Paul wait for it…" Ben grumbled under his breath "We're nearly done with the surprise just be patient,"
"Sorry," Paul murmured.
"It's fine," Toby waved it off ignoring Edward and Bella gawked look "Give us another ten minutes to bring out the surprise eh?" he explained.
"Benjie, Toby why are you guys wearing your hoods again?" Ariel asked.
"We needed it… for other things…" Ben murmured.
"Like what…?" Aqua asked.
"Wait it for little sister be patient…" Jay began to say with a tired sigh "You might as well just take off the disguise BJ," he explained.
"Just bring out the surprise guys I'm pretty sure everyone's all confuse about the whole thing," Cameron pointed out.
Ben and Toby sighed mumbling under their breaths "Yeah, you're probably right ready little brother?" Ben announced.
"Oh yeah…might as well make this a surprise for everyone to see us that we're home officially," Toby murmured.
Ben and Toby Granger was under the hood revealing themselves instead of Ben and Toby having blonde hair with blue eyes, instead they have brown hair with brown eyes, being taller and a bit muscled that left everyone to widen their eyes in surprise. Sam and the pack widen their eyes in shock and stunned at least to Sam's Jared's and Leah's boss anyway.
"What the hell that was you guys?!"
"Were you guys wearing a mask this entire time?"
"No wonder you smelled familiar…"
"I knew it! I knew it!?"
Ben and Toby snickered at the scene.
"Surprisseeeeeee" Ben grinned showing his teeth and gave a little wave noticing that Sam and the pack were gaping at him "What?" he titled his head all confuse "Why are you all looking at me like that? Cat got your tongue boys…? It would seem four years that we been here hasn't change one bit… what took you guys so long to figure us huh?" he explained.
"What happen to your hair?" Leah cried out "And how did your eyes change from blue to brown?"
"We… dyed our hair, decided a new look and use contacts," Ben began to say grabbing his square glasses "So what do you think?" he smirked hiding a secret from his friends "So?" he asked.
"Since when do you wear glasses?" Leah asked.
"Their my reading glasses actually," Ben yawned at this "I had a long day signing forms here and there," he explained.
"Forms what forms?" Sam asked.
"School forms?" Toby murmured "So what do you think of my look?"
"I like it? You always had that blonde brunette look going on huh?" Leah asked.
"Something like that yeah," Ben nodded at this "Sorry we didn't tell you guys the truth before?" he explained.
"Don't worry about it I would've felt the same way," Leah waved it off not a bit offended by this; I have a feeling she knew it was them "Especially since there's so many gossipers in this entire town I would've liked my life private too," she explained.
"Who—what—why—when—where did you two—how in the hell?! What the fuck is going on here?!" Paul splutter in shocked that the blonde girl walked up to him and smacked him on the head harshly causing Paul to rub his head "Hey! What the hell was that for?" he scowled.
The blonde girl glowered her eyes despite how small she was as I learned her name was Luna "Watch your mouth there are children in the room?!" she scolded him in her motherly tone of hers with another whack on the head causing Paul to whimper then went back to sit down on the brunette boy's lap as he held her by the waist as his chin was on top of her shoulder watching the scene Paul to pout mumbling an apology "You're going to wake up Ginny, Neville and Georgie," she scolded him.
"Too late," Ginny and George scowled where we heard a groan from Neville "You woke me up," she pouts which left Jake to scowl and smack Paul on the head.
"Make two of us," George scowled "Bloody hell how can I sleep with all the noise going on," he sighed at this causing Jake to smack Paul once again.
"Owe what was that for?"
"That was for waking them up from their nap,"
Paul grumbled "Sorry," he muttered under his breath.
"Don't worry about it … I couldn't sleep anyway… I keep getting a bad headache…" Ginny pouts rubs her head frowning at this which left Ben, Toby, Jay, Cameron, Sam and the pack to glare at Edward who shifted uncomfortable as they knew he's probably trying to read her mind which he failed to read "I keep getting a headache Georgie, Freddie make it go away," she pouted.
"Sorry Gin-Gin I'm getting a headache too," Fred scowled which Leah glared at Edward which left him quite uncomfortable "I never had this big of a headache before," he explained.
"Wow," Toby snorted "State the obvious, why don't you? And you should really watch your mouth Paul," he snorted "You okay there Georgie, Freddie? Gin?"
"Not really," Georgie frowned which Fred and Ginny nodded in agreement "Why the bloody hell do I keep getting a headache," he rubs his headache which cause Edward to shift uncomfortable "It's driving me mad mate,"
"Trust me we know…" Ben glared at Edward who continued to shift more uncomfortable than before.
"But, how the f** hell— "Paul was cut off by Luna glowering 'Don't make me go over there' look which cause made him slightly uneasy "I mean how did you get here we didn't even call you? And how did you know where Sam live?" he exclaimed.
"Not my fault you didn't recognized either of us under the hood and it took four long years to figure that out," Ben snorted crossing his arms "There's only one person" as his eyebrow raised at me "Who knew who we were besides our sisters of course isn't that right Seth?" he smirked "And yet you didn't say anything why?" he explained.
I flushed feeling slightly embarrassed leaving Sam and the pack to turn to me in disbelief; I was scratching my neck sheepishly "It's true I knew it was them," with a shrug "I didn't want to reveal your secrets," he explained.
"How you know it was us?" Ben smirked at this.
"Your eyes it gave it away I know those eyes anywhere," I pointed out causing Ben and Toby to laugh at this "What?"
"That's exactly what your dad said when he first saw us, our eyes gave it away," Ben chuckled shaking his head "Well it's official I owe your dad $100—" he grabbed the money out of his wallet "Here give this to your dad will you kiddo," he explained.
"100$ for what….?" I asked.
"Let's just say we gained a bet going on between you guys," Toby smirked "And your dad just happened to state that either you or Leah would figure us out but, we thought you didn't recognize either of us but, apparently we were wrong you did due to our eyes, I should've seen that coming," he explained.
"Yeah well," I shrugged at this "It's not that hard to figure out. I always knew it was you guys since I'm a man of my word since I kept your secret," I explained.
"Yeah right, like you knew it was Ben and Toby under the hood Seth," Leah snorted at this "I bet you didn't even know that was Ariel, Aqua or Mya, didn't you?" she accused me.
"You didn't either," I argued back causing Leah quiet.
"Now, now no fighting kids," Toby wags his finger on the both of us in a daddy tone "Of course, he did in fact he's the first person to learn it was us unlike some people he knows how to keep a secret" he raised his eyebrow at my sister who shrugged at this "Anyway, we appreciate you keeping your word kid," he explained with a smirk.
I gave a sheepishly smile in response "No problem I'm a man of my word,"
Leah snorted "You are hardly a man,"
"Shut up Leah," I scowled that I couldn't sworn Hermione giggled at this that left me to perk up. It sounded…I could just hear her giggle all day. I know it sounds cheesy but, it's true. I would do anything in my power to keep that smile on her face. I couldn't help but, give a sigh "Right Mia? I'm a man right?" he perked up.
"Of course you are Sethyboo," Hermione giggled "You always been a handsome man,"
"See even Mia agrees with me," I argued back to Leah who poked her tongue in response.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, isn't anyone going to answer us?!" Jacob exclaimed snapping out of my daze and thoughts by waving his arms dramatically who stepped between the group but, made sure he was near his imprint if I have to guess it's the red headed girl "What the hell—"who noticed Luna glowering at him with an icy cold look that he couldn't help but, shift uncomfortable "I—I mean what the heck is going on here no wait the real question that we're all probably asking here is what are you guys doing here and the guys I'm preferring is you guys Ben… Toby, Jay, Cameron, Ariel, Aqua, Mya not that I don't mind seeing you guys but, what are you guys doing here—" pausing for a moment leaving Ben, Toby, Jay and Cameron to raise their eyebrows at Jake "No offense," he quickly added.
"None taken buddy and to answer your question I'm just hanging around with my brothers and to answer your other question Paul. I'm his boss pretty much know where everyone here lives including him— "Ben pointed at Cullen who looked offended "Despite how our uncle Charlie gets along with his folks I don't plan on coming over to their place anytime soon and I don't plan to be in the nearest future. I'm also here to tell Sam some news that concerns his job at the school," he explained with a shrug.
"Are you telling me you came here unannounced to tell Sam some news with your brothers no less despite the fact you're ignoring my question. How are you guys related to Bella—wait don't answer that "which Bella looked offended about to answer but, had cut her off "Wait a minute… if you're here to pick them up then how did they get into the forest,"
"We were actually in our hide out spot?" Aqua announced.
"Hide out spot…?" Jake asked.
"Yeah, the meadows field we always go there hiding from Isabella it's like our hide out away from her," Aqua perked up "And got flowers for uncle Charlie?"
"Flowers…?" Jake slowly asked "You got Charlie flowers?"
"Well actually I got him a jacket but, Lulu here wanted to give him flowers thought it was a nice gesture," Aqua nodded at this "Huh Lulu?"
Luna nodded at this "Oh yes I always make flower crowns for my daddy and he loves it so I thought I make one for their uncle because he's my godfather," she beamed.
"Charlie's your godfather?" Jake slowly gawked at the girl who nodded at this "How many god kids does Charlie have?" he exclaimed.
"A lot apparently," Hermione giggled at this "Which includes you Jakey-bear," she beamed.
"True, true but, I'm his favorite godson," Jake smug at this "Right Mia?"
"Sure keep telling yourself Jake," Hermione giggled at this causing Jake to pout "I'm just kidding I'm sure you're one of his favorite godsons Jake," she explained causing Jake to feel better.
"Actually— "Ariel announced "I prefer to call her Isabella," she gave a fake smile "Since she's nothing but, trouble right Benjie,"
"Amen to that, amen to that," Ben agreed at this "Do you agree boys?"
"Yep,"
"Oh yeah defiantly,"
"Ditto to that mate," George nodded in agreement.
"It's Bella," Bella gritted her teeth growling at her cousin "And I'm not a magnet of trouble," she cried out in anger.
"Actually you really are especially since you always been a klutz as a baby," Aqua snarled causing Bella startled by her outburst causing her to trip, again Edward caught her before she fell "And does it look like we bloody care no not really I didn't bloody think so and no one asked your bloody opinion Isabella Marie Swan and if I were you I would keep your bloody opinions to yourself since we weren't bloody talking to you?!" she exclaimed practically growling.
"Exactly and Aqua just ignore her we all do she doesn't even matter in our family you know that— "Ben scoffed at this who gave a strain smile ignoring Bella's offended look "Besides we have other plans for us to do since we're all home," he explained.
"Brilliant and trust me Benjie she's practically dead to me," Aqua gritted her teeth which left Bella offended look "But, go on with your story big brother," she perked up.
"Gee thanks Aqua—anyway back to our story you never asked me, or Toby Jake I mean, how could you? It's been ten years since you last saw my family visiting Forks no less?" Ben shrugged "Isn't it?" he explained.
Jake raised his eyebrow crossing his arms "Oh yeah that maybe true?" he asked glowering his eyes at him "But, why didn't you call us first or even tell me about it?"
"I thought your dad would've told you Jake since your parents are our godparents after all and already knew they were coming home or that we're coming to meet up with Sam today," Toby began to say with a yawn "I mean come on Sammy boy it took four years to figure us I was rooting for you but, you're a bit slow," he explained.
"Sammy boy…" Sam began to say muttered under his breath as in realization dawn to realize what he just said "Hold on four years? You've been living here for four years?" he exclaimed.
"Yes…? We're your boss Sam surely you would know that right…?"
"Yeah but, how did you—" Sam furrowed his eyebrows turning to Ben and Toby "That was you guys?" he cried out.
"Yeah…?"
"But, you don't have blonde hair or blue eyes though?"
"No I don't … we may've used a disguise … to keep our life in the downlow?"
"Why didn't you tell me that?"
"And tell you what exactly Sam?"
"Well you could've told me for one… I mean we grew up together?"
"I know we did but, you don't expect us to tell you everything do you? I mean I didn't even hear that you and Leah broke up. I had to hear that from uncle Charlie not from you two," Ben argued back causing Sam and Leah to flush "I thought we had a better relationship than that Sam who happens to be my goddaughter" he pointed out.
Sam flushed mumbling under his breath "How—how did Charlie found out?"
"Oh please it's all over the reservation you two were like high school sweethearts and then BAM!" Ben cried out causing Hermione to jump from his outburst "You guys broke up no call, no note, not even one tiny phone call from you two that you two broke up it's a shame really because I bought you two an awesome wedding present since it's refundable I still got the wedding invitation here," he explained showing an old invitation causing Leah to wince at this.
"Y-y-y-y-you got us a wedding present…" Leah asked in a small tiny voice.
"Yes, yes I did," Ben sighed dramatically "Oh well I guess you guys won't get the present… since you two are no longer getting married and not together anymore," he explained.
Leah pouted at this "Can I still keep it,"
"Sorry Leahbee it's for you two…?"
"Damn," Leah pouted kicking the floor ignoring Sam gawking look "Please Benjie…" she pouted at this.
Ben sighed staring at the ceiling, grabbed the keys and threw it to Leah who caught it with her hand "There you go?" he asked.
"What is this I thought I wasn't going to get the present" Leah asked.
"Well I changed it my mind and what does it look like Leahbee?"
"Keys… "
"Keys to what?"
"It could be for anything?"
"Like…?"
"Cars… the house… the storage… the gym, restaurant, hospital, anything?"
Ben sighed dramatically "Well since you two aren't together anymore… I was going to give that to you guys…and I even build you guys a house with a car for you two,"
"You build us a house and got us a CAR?!" Sam and Leah cried out after realizing they said it at the same time which they quickly shut up coughing awkwardly.
"Well yes, but, now I'm going to give it to Leah since … it's quite private if you know what I mean and the cars are still yours despite being the wedding present. I might as well just give you guys anyway since it's under your name and all that,"
"Under our name? How?"
"Well I had a bit of help from your parents Leah?"
"My parents you mean they knew about this?"
"Well yeah they also took part of the wedding gift too,"
"They did…" Leah voice was small "They—they bought us a house and a car?"
"Not the car but, they helped with the house,"
Leah bowed her head feeling herself teared up "I-I-I didn't know.." she whispered.
"Well of course you didn't know it was supposed to be a surprise that was until I learned that you two broke it off the wedding and no longer together," Ben pointed out.
Leah bit her bottom lip nervously "They helped you with the house?" she whispered.
"Yeah they did…"
"What about the car where is it?"
"The cars it's in my secret compartment I'll give it to you guys in Monday since I have to fix a few things after this,"
"Secret compartment?"
"Mhmm?"
"Is the house that private?"
"Yep,"
"How private?"
"Away from the reservation noisy neighbors?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's in my property Leah,"
"Your property?"
"Mhmm…"
"You have a property in the reservation of LaPush,"
"Yeah it's pretty huge we inherited from our grandparents which stated that the land in LaPush reservation is now ours which is why we've been so busy over the past four years,"
"How huge are we talking about?"
"The land is about 20,000 acres wide and long,"
"You're kidding?"
"Actually Benjie," Hermione spoke up causing everyone to turn to her "It's about 100,000 acres wide and long… I checked with Griphook who confirmed it"
"Griphook huh? When did you go to the bank?"
"In Saturday we went to meet up with mum and daddy who wanted to go to the bank for some important business, Ariel and Aqua came along too,"
"So it's not 20,000 acres wide and long but, 100,000 acres wide and long then? Do you have the papers?"
"Yes," Hermione nodded at this grabbing the papers out of her beaded bag which was small and her whole arm was inside not noticing the gawking looks and grabbed the papers "Here is it Benjie I also added notes inside since I have a few ideas on what we can do in our big land," she explained.
Ben nodded "Brilliant thanks nugget,"
"Of course," Hermione murmured "Benjie?"
"Yes nugget?"
"Can we build…a house?"
"We are building a house?"
"No, not for us I meant for umm—" Hermione began to say looking at her friends "For my friends… like a vacation house so that way if they were going on vacation they can just stay here if they wish too don't you think?" she explained.
Ben chuckled "I think we can work that out nugget I'll be sure to let the guys know huh?"
"Brilliant," Hermione beamed at this and grabbed her drink which Ben blinked his owlish.
"Nugget?"
"Yes Benjie?"
"What are you drinking?"
"Butterbeer?"
"You have butterbeer inside your bag?"
"Yes…do you want some?"
"Eh sure why the hell not how many did you bring?"
"A lot… here I'll grab it," Hermione began to say turning to Ginny "Gin can you hold this for me?"
"Sure Mione," Ginny beamed at this as she took a peek "What are you looking for?"
"Butterbeer?"
Ginny perked up "Butterbeer you can make some?"
"Uh huh it's really not that hard to make it's really brilliant I got the recipe from uncle Abe,"
"Who's uncle Abe?"
"Professor Dumbledore's brother… who's my other uncle,"
"Oh…" Ginny blinked her eyes owlish "I didn't know the headmaster has a brother?"
"Not a lot of people do," Hermione shrugged as she widen the bag "Keep it still kay it's a big jug of butterbeer,"
"Kay," Ginny murmured, Neville and Luna looked inside the bag too "Oooh what is that Mione?"
"Neville I need your help,"
Neville nodded at this and helped Hermione with the jug of butterbeer "Whoa ..that's a lot Mione?" he murmured.
"I know but, it's for my brothers and for us too if you want some?"
"Sure I would love some?"
"Brilliant," Hermione beamed grabbing the cups and pour some for her brothers "Here you go Benjie, Toby, Jay and Cam,"
"Thanks nugget," Ben, Toby, Jay and Cameron beamed at this.
"Mmm reminds me of home back in England oh remind me to grab a copy of that recipe Mia will you," Ben pointed out.
"Will do," Hermione beamed drinking her butterbeer "Mmm.. yummy…"
"What are you drinking Mia?" Seth asked.
"Err… it's butterbeer?"
"Is it good?"
"Yep do you want some…?"
"If you don't mind?"
"I don't mind," Hermione beamed pouring the butterbeer on a cup "Here you go Sethyboo?"
"Thanks princess," Seth smirked causing Hermione to flush then turned to Ben and the others "Wow this is really good… and speaking of land…100,000 acres wide and long is pretty huge for a land which is like half of the reservation?"
"I know which is why we're building a lot of buildings in our property,"
"Seriously… no wonder you'd always disappear…in random places… and what kind of cars did you get us?"
"Hummer Trucks?"
"HUMMER TRUCKS?! Those are expensive?"
"Oh trust me I know," Ben dramatically began to say "But, since Leah is my favorite goddaughter besides Bex and Rae of course I figured I'll give it to you anyway and Sam you better take care of that car," he gave the car keys to Sam who caught it with a gawk "Don't give me that look Sam you deserve it the hard work that you did. Good job Sammy boy," he smirked wigging his eyebrows.
"You're kidding the hummer truck is mine?"
"Yeah I'm wasn't kidding in fact I should have the cars dropped off in Monday,"
"Awesome thank you Benjie,"
"Yeah thanks Ben I really… appreciate that…."
"No problem guys,"
"Hey uh Ben?"
"Yeah…?"
"Aren't you forgetting something?"
Ben blinked his eyes owlish realization "Oh right… do you recognize them?" he pointed at his brothers.
Leah blinked her eyes owlish "Kind of…" she murmured.
Jay puts his hand over his heart "I am appalled you would forget all about me and our family Leah bee especially since you just caught up with our sisters?" he replied shakes in disappointment.
"What are you talking about?" Leah demanded "I don't even know you so how can we be best friends and be related to Ariel and Aqua," she cried out.
He sighed dramatically revealing himself "I suppose 10 years can do that to you since I'm Ariel and Aqua's older brother including Mya. Recognize me now Leah bee?"
Leah squinted her eyes "No… not really?" she asked.
"It's Jayden… Jay Granger rings any bells?" Jay stated noticing Leah's blank look with a tired sigh "As in … Cameron, Ariel… Aqua… Mya's big brother Jay-Jay who's related to Ben, Toby little brother among other things? Anything?" he explained.
"Jay-Jay," Leah squeaked in shocked "No WAY,"
"Nice to see you too Leah bee," Jayden smirked "Took you what…" he looked at his watch "About ...1 ½ to figure that out I was hoping you'd be the first one to recognize us," he sighed dramatically "But, I suppose we been gone for too long for you to recognize us but, I have to say you look… different. Last time we last saw each other your hair was long and now it's— "he squinted his eyes "Bob haircut—interesting hairstyle. I'm sure Ariel and Aqua can fix it right up," he explained.
Leah flushed which didn't take her long to change the subject "I like my hair like this style thanks… but, if you're Jay then what about him?" she demanded ignoring the blush in her face in anger— she was conflicted and pointed at the other hooded figure who was buffing his fingers against his jacket.
"Seriously even I thought you would've recognized me Leah since we used to beat Sam in soccer back in the day," Cameron paused for a moment raising his eyebrow "Cleary you have a bad memory, or you really forgot about us at least the brothers anyway… yet you can recognize Ariel, Aqua and Mya but, not me and Jay? I'm very hurt Leah, boy do I feel the love," he sarcastically says.
Leah squinted her eyes "Come to the light?"
He sighed dramatically revealing himself under the hood "Why are you quoting Beauty and the Beast for last time I checked you hate Disney movies— "Leah glared at him who pinched his nose "Alright, alright don't be such a drama queen that's our dimwitted cousin's job—" which Bella looked appalled by that comment about to defend herself but, Cameron ignored her just like the rest of his family and sighed dramatically "Well since you asked nicely—" as he revealed himself into the light "Now do you recognized me now?"
Leah however, had a blank expression not answering including Sam and the pack who gawked at the guy.
"Well? Are you going to stand there gaping at me like a fish or are you going to answer me?" Cameron asked.
Leah opened and closed her mouth a few times with a sigh squinting her eyes a bit closer "I…" she paused for a moment "I'm sorry I just don't recognize you at all… so … not really…"
"Bloody hell woman I feel so offended that you would actually forget about me… you really have a bad memory do you know that. It's me Cameron… as in Ariel, Aqua, Mya's big brother while being Ben, Toby, and Jay's little brother ring any betters? How could you forget about me?" Cameron argued back.
Leah stared at Cameron and squeaked in surprise "What? You're … Cameron… as in Cameron Granger—Charlie's nephew who I like to remind you was—is still my best friend growing up with your siblings besides Rae and Becca," she squeaked in surprise "Wow… you look so … so… different…last time I checked…and look like a Dalmatian with that hair duo" she murmured.
Cameron grinned which made Sam and the pack a bit wary "Why thank you darling, and ding, ding, ding, ding you are on fire girl," he smirked causing Leah flushed while he was circling her "Not exactly the welcome party I was hoping for but, it would have to do. It's good to see you too Leah," he explained.
"Wait, wait, wait just a minute here," Jake intervened between Ben, Toby, Jay and Cameron who crossed their arms—with a raise looks "If you guys are related—I mean I know you guys but, what about the other four?" he explained with a gawking look on his face.
"Well, I'm glad you ask Jake," Jay putting his arm around Jake who nearly jumped by this "You see those four people next to our sisters Ariel, Aqua, and Mya are their friends…as you all know that's Mya behind Seth," he began to say since I perked up since now I know it's Hermione "And the other two are Ariel and Aqua as you can tell they have strips on their hair are our sisters and the ones next to them is our friends Fred and George who are also twins with their little sister Ginny, Luna, and Neville they're our all friends from our boarding school," he explained.
Jake gawked at this "Okay… so basically you're all saying that … everyone is home… as in the whole Granger clan huh and brought your friends to come along here…" he explained with a slowly nod.
"Yep pretty much sums it up," Ben, Toby, Jay and Cameron answered with a nod.
"Awesome," Jake grinned then turned to Fred, George, Ginny, Luna and Neville "I'm Jake, their best friend," he offered his hand which left them to grin.
"Nice to meet you mate as you can tell I'm Fred and that's George, Neville, Luna and our little sister Ginny," Fred beamed at this "Mione told us all about you guys it's nice to finally meet you,"
Jake beamed at this "And it's nice to meet you guys too," then turned to Cameron "We all missed you guys it's been boring without you guys here. I'm so glad you guys are home," he explained.
"We miss you too Jake ol' buddy," Cameron grinned putting his arms behind his head "It's good to be home," he yawned at this "So how you been bud?"
"Eh pretty good, been taking care of dad, going to high school etc how about you?" Jake asked ignoring Bella once more.
"I've been good I'm now a father with five kids," Cameron grinned causing Jake to gawk at this "Yeah I know my wife is pregnant with our fifth kid, so it's pretty been a busy life for me," he explained.
"Whoa…aren't you like … I don't know 21 years old?" Jake asked.
"I am…Sophy and I been together since my … 3rd year in my boarding school so we been together for a loooong time," Cameron declared while Jake whistle "I'm actually planning on celebrating our wedding anniversary, so we'll be having a wedding surprise if I have to guess within a year from now?"
"Really that's awesome I can't wait to meet her,"
"I'm sure she would love that Jake," Cameron beamed at this "And the kids will love you too since your their godfather including the rest of the lot,"
"Godfather," Jake squeaked "Me…really?"
"Yeah,"
"Even me?"
"Yep,"
"Cool what about Leah and Sam,"
"Yeah, they're also the godparents are our kids too,"
"Awesome," Jake grinned "And I'm honored to be their godfather Cam,"
"I'm honored to be their godmother," Leah murmured.
"And I'm honored to be their godfather too," Sam nodded at this after being silent for a bit.
"No problem guys," Cameron grinned at this patting him on the back before he can continue Leah cut him out of his thoughts "And what I mean being the godparents I mean Ben, Toby, Jay and I since our sisters don't have kids yet but, when they have kids I'm pretty sure you'd be the godparents too," he explained.
Leah stared at Jay and Cameron, squeaked in surprise "That's awesome to hear Cam…I can't wait to meet your wives and your kids…" she paused for a moment "So… basically you're telling me that you two—" she gestured Jay and Cameron "Are Jay and Cameron," who they nodded at this "And those three girls are Ariel, Aqua and Mya," who they also nodded at this "Who I like to remind you guys that was and still our best friend growing up along with the rest of the family besides Rae and Bex," she squeaked in surprised "How are you guys a dad now you're practically the same age as Sam and I," she cried out "And how come we weren't invited to your wedding," she exclaimed.
"We had a small ceremony sorry luv," Ben shrugged causing Leah to pout "Don't worry we're actually planning a surprise for our wives … for our 10th year wedding anniversary coming up, so you guys are all invited to come celebrate with us," he explained.
"Sounds like a plan if you need any help with the wedding let me know," Leah took a breath and calm herself "So … what are you guys doing here? As in Sam and Emily's house... since we never were called or were informed by this?" she explained.
Cameron grinned which made Sam and the pack a bit wary "Yeah for sure we'll let you know and I'm sure Mal and Sophy will love that and ding, ding, ding, ding you are on fire girl," he smirked causing Leah flushed while he was circling her "Not exactly the welcome party I was hoping for but, it would have to do. It's good to see you too Leah and as for me being a dad well you know things change over the years so … it's not like I'm against being a dad or anything I love it so I'm all good in that department," he stared at Leah oddly "Where have you been from the 10 minutes and besides being a police officer my life been pretty well as far as I know," he explained.
Leah stared at him for a long moment that without thinking she gave him a hug "Wow…that's great Cameron I'm really happy for you..." she whispered.
Cameron soften his eyes "Thanks Lee, how about you? Are you in college or what?"
"Yeah… yeah … I'm now attending a community college in Washington…. It's not exactly what I planned after high school but, I wanted to be close to home… ya know…" Leah stiffly replied.
Cameron nodded at this "That's understandable I'm sure Bex and Rae understood right?" he asked.
"Yeah … yeah, they understood about my decision," Leah murmured nodding to herself "And that's Seth over there in case you haven't noticed," she pointed at me.
Cameron grinned "I heard and hey Seth look at you buddy you're all grown up now," he declared causing me to flush "I can see why you're excited to see Mia you always had a soft spot for her even when you were kids," he exclaimed.
"Yeah we're like best friends even if it's been a long time since she been home," I perked up excited to see Mya and her family again it has been pretty boring without them here "Right Mia?" he asked.
"Of course," Hermione beamed at this drinking her butterbeer.
"Not that I'm not happy to see you guys but, what are you guys doing here?" Jake explained.
"Well we have unfinish business to attend too that involves Sam?" Ben asked.
"Like what?" Sam asked with a raise eyebrow.
"Personal business," Ben shrugged at this "That doesn't involve our estrange cousin or her boyfriend in this room," he explained ignoring Bella and Edward's scandal look.
"Oh…" Sam grew quiet "But, what I don't understand is how did you guys know we were here?"
"You're always here Sam?" Toby asked.
Sam blinked his eyes owlish "Yeah… I realize that since it's my home… with Emily…" he drifted off which Leah instantly stiffen "But, how did you guys know … they were here with us?" he asked.
"We have our ways?" Ben smirked "And it wasn't that hard to figure it out," he explained with a shrug.
"But, seriously though why are you guys here?"
"Do we need a reason to be here Sam?"
"Well… no… I mean you guys are always welcome here but, I mean like … why are you guys here… since we weren't notified that you were coming over?"
"Like I said it's personal business,"
"So, like you just happened to be here with your family while… Bella and Edward just arrived here the same time too?" Jake explained with a stiff look on his face.
"By golly wally we have a winner ding, ding, ding another round for Jake," Cameron smirked clapping his hands sarcastically leaving Jake to flush "Tell us announcer what does Jacob Black known as Jake win this time?" he cried out pretending to be an announcer.
"Well Cameron I'm glad you ask Jake we have three doors that showed what Jake wins for our lucky winner let's see what he won eh?" Ben grinned waving his arm revealing the doors that was now revealed behind them "Let's see what the won eh behind the three doors," he explained.
"What doors?"
"Those doors,"
The doors just happened to magically appear causing us to gawk causing Ben to put his arm around Jake "Let's see what's in door number 1? Cam what's in door number 1 our favorite little brother but, blood Jacob?" he asked.
"Well door number 1 our winner Jake gets to win a date with our favorite little red head Ginny Weasley, youngest sister of Bill, Charlie, Percy Fred and George including Ronald Weasley," Cameron announced which left the girl to flush while Fred and George to gawk at this while hiding behind Hermione who looked amuse by this "And that date will take place in a moonlight picnic at the beach where they'll be stargazing under the stars having the time of their lives," he explained.
"A moonlight picnic date huh?" Jacob slowly gave a sly smirk staring at the girl with the red hair who gave an 'eep' hiding behind Hermione who patted her on the back softly. The girl peeked behind Hermione which Jake gave a shy wave which left her to give another 'eep' hiding her smile; Leah however cleared her throat which Jake snapped out of it turning to his attention to Ben folding his hands "That actually sounds really nice for the date for us but, seriously guys what sort of news were you going to tell Sam anyway?" he asked ignoring Bella's shock and jealous rage look.
"Well I'm glad you ask Jake," Ben began to say putting his arms over Sam's shoulders who nearly jumped after coming out of nowhere "You see Sam it's about your job … wait for it…may I have some dramatic music please" here comes the dramatic music which came out of nowhere causing me to scan around to find no source or music anywhere "You're fired," he blurted out with a blank look. Sam stared at the guy with a gape disbelief about to protest but, Ben kept talking "I'm afraid I'm being serious. See you been missing a lot of days that you claim to be 'sick' and unfortunately I have to tell you this not as your friend or co-worker but, as your boss that it causing a lot of missing paper work because of this" tutted to himself in disappointment "So I'm afraid I have to let you go so you're fired, so when you go to work I want you to grab everything that you own and get out," he explained with a serious blank look on his face.
Everyone had a the 'what the hell' what the heck did I do,' 'oh no Sam's fired where's he going to work,' look from both Sam and the pack worried/confuse look including Emily who looked horrified at this while Hermione and her friends gape at Ben crazy.
"Benjie!" Hermione stomped her foot which left Jake's imprint to 'eep' hiding behind her brothers Fred and George who looked amuse but, didn't say anything while Hermione made a huff "Will you please stop playing around and tell him the truth," she demanded at this.
"What makes you think I'm playing around nugget this is work we're talking about. He's been having those 'sick days' a lot the minimum at the school is under 30 days and his more than 30 days in every month and I'm being serious he's fired," Ben explained with a blank look on his face.
Seth's P.O.V.
"Oh really," Hermione puts her hands against her hips giving him a serious look "He probably has his reasons to be sick besides it's not like you haven't done it before in school or at work. And if it was really serious then what pray tell what did Sammy do to get himself fired besides being sick hmm?" she scolded him with a stern look.
[no answer] ...
Sam and the pack gape or gawk at the girl looking back and forth between the two despite the silence now despite how short she was; again, they're imitating like a fish I don't blame them since I felt the same way as she had that mother lion look in her eyes as if she's protecting her cubs.
[no answer] …
"Well aren't you going to answer me or not," Hermione huffs that her hair was tame like a mama lion she looks damn scary that I couldn't help but, whimper slightly afraid and hid behind my sister Leah who in response snickered at this "Well? I'm waiting for your answer Benjamin James Granger?" she demanded.
"Really Mia you really going to give him the look that mum gave us whenever we get in trouble," Ariel answered as she and Aqua snickered at their older brother.
"Looks like our older brother is in trouble from little Mia," Aqua taunted her brother causing Ben with a horror look "Shame on you Benjie shame on you," she murmured.
"Oh, the horror imagine how Chloe is going to feel when she finds out carrying quintuplets being quints— "Ariel tutted in disappointment "Shame on you Benjie, shame, shame on you big brother let's see how you're going to get out of that one huh?" she snickered.
"She got you there mate," George snickered leaning his head against his twin who was also snickering at the scene "If I didn't know any better I would think the girls in your family got you all wrapped up in their little finger especially Mione," he explained.
Hermione however, didn't answer giving Ben the stern look "Benjamin James Granger you tell them that damn truth and stop playing around right now or better yet," she stomped over to her older brother who took a step on the side heading over to Ben who tried to give a stern somewhat afraid look despite her shortness "I'm going to tell Chloe what you're trying to do by getting poor, poor bloke Sammy who I like to remind you is my best friend," she huffed "Who happens to be over there fired no less. If this is one of your pranks, it's not funny especially since we already got prankers over there— "pointing at Fred and George who looked offended but, Ariel covered both their mouths shaking her head "Especially when it comes with their jobs because I can assure you Chloe won't be happy with you especially when she's nearly 7 ½ months pregnant like mum except Chloe's carrying quints hmm? Just wait till I get over to your house and you'll get a huge mouthful out of her towards you Mr. trouble maker" she exclaimed stomping away heading over to his house which left Ben stared at her in horror by grabbing her by the waist which she tried to get away but, his grip was strong.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, there little missy," Ben grabbed her by the waist putting her body over his shoulder who continued to pound her small fists over him while their siblings were slightly amuse watching Hermione; it's a good thing she's wearing jeans "Oh no you're not going to our house when you don't know where we live yet?" he exclaimed.
"Benjie let me go! Let me go right now Benjie! Let me go right now!" Hermione demanded stomping away with her little legs trying to get away from his grip in the air but, he wouldn't let her go. Ariel and Aqua snickered holding their stomachs leaning against George and his twin brother who looked at Ben in awe now—while Jake's imprint Ginny well she looked a little amuse along with Luna and Neville looked dumbstruck as they both never seen this other side of her before while everyone else well they kept gaping at the girl imitating like a fish pounding her little fists against Ben "CHOOOOE, CHOEEEEE, BENJIE IS BEING MEAN TO ME?!" she exclaimed.
"Oiii I'm not being mean you're the one who kept biting me," Ben grumbled under his breath.
