Three years later-At Alice and Jasper's house-Rosalie's POV
"Hey Rose, Em, glad you could make it." greets Jasper "Come on in"
"Hi Jazz. Kid's say hi" I order
"Hi Uncle Jazz. Where's Aunt Ali?" declares Amber.
She adores her Uncle but loves spending time with Alice. She's already turning into a mini-me and she's only 6!
As Amber disappears into the house I gently prod Kaitlynn inside. Em, being the softie that he is, is carrying Caleb but puts him down on the porch.
The twins are three now and full of energy. Lucky for me they're both super shy so that keeps them out of too much trouble; most of the time…
As we enter the foyer Kaitlynn grabs her brothers' hand and runs off in the same direction as Amber.
"Child-free, just like that! We're getting better Rosie" Em exclaims jokingly
Jazz and I laugh at that and we all head out to the pool.
I distantly hear crying and leave the boys, to discover the source.
As I get closer I realize it's not one of my kids. I've heard them crying so often that I can tell who it is just by listening.
I enter the nursery to see my niece Camilla Elle Hale writhing in her crib. She's only four months old but already looks so much like her Daddy.
"Hey darling" I coo, lifting her up
"I'm coming Camilla" I hear Alice call
"I got her Ali. I think she's hungry"
"What? Again? I only just fed her! She's worse than her brother" she cries from the doorway
As if on cue little Kyle crawls into the room.
Kyle Chase Hale is Jasper and Alice's other child. He's 1 ½ and oh so cute.
"Hey little man! I'll swap you Ali. Take Cammy and I'll take Kyle"
"Thank-you Rose and I think Amber is corrupting her siblings, she's in the playroom"
I have to laugh at this. It sounds exactly like what Amber would do.
She's just started to interact with her younger brother and sister and seems to be molding them into perfect little minions.
"Thanks for the warning" I scoop up Kyle and head to the playroom.
Alice has transformed her home into a child's paradise. She still works as an interior designer so I look after my niece and nephew most week days.
Alice and Jasper had gotten married about a year after Em and I. Ali quickly fell pregnant with Kyle, and the rest is history.
The best part is that Alice is now legally my sister-in-law.
"Amber, sweetheart. Why don't you come join us outside? You can have a swim later if you'd like."
She stands up and rushes out the door without even replying. Amber loves the water.
"Come on you two." I say holding out my hand
Kaitlynn catches it before Caleb so he looks rather upset.
"Why don't you see who can get to Daddy the fastest? But no running"
That gets them moving, they may be shy but they both have a fierce competitive streak.
Kyle tugs gently on my hair, reminding me of his presence. I grab a few toys and follow my kids.
Alice is already there by the time we arrive, nursing Camilla in her lap.
As soon as Kyle spots my brother he starts wriggling to be put down. I hand him to Jasper swiftly; Kyle is a real Daddy's boy.
"Rose! Have you heard the great news?" Alice exclaims, nearly jumping up from her seat
"You're not pregnant again are you?"
"No, of course not silly. Guess who got engaged!"
"Really? I'm so happy for her"
We're talking about Bella. She's been dating Edward for the last three years and they are absolutely perfect for each other.
"I know, isn't it great? And I get to plan her wedding!"
"Alice, you shouldn't be an interior designer, you should be a wedding planner!"
Everybody laughs at Emmett's input
"Thanks Em!"
Looking around I notice the absence of Amber and Caleb. Kaitlynn is sitting on Em's knee.
"Uh, I think I've lost my kids. Anyone seen Caleb or Amber?"
"Yeah, Amber went to put her togs on and Caleb went to go to the toilet, he refused to let anyone go with him."
"Thanks Jazz. You're better at this tracking thing than me!"
"Kaitlynn, do you want to have a swim?"
"Will you come with me Mummy?"
"Of course baby. Caleb, do you want to come as well?" I say as he re-appears
They both nod and start stripping. I made them put their togs on before we arrived.
"Emmett, you coming in?"
"Sure Rose" he replies with a sinister smile
Before I have a chance to comprehend what he's doing, he picks me up bridal style and jumps into the pool.
As we re-surface I give him a light-hearted slap. The kids are all laughing at us.
Even Camilla has a smile on her tiny face.
Everything is perfect.
A/N-*sob* That's the end! This has been such a fun story to write and I've loved every minute of it. For the last time I want to thank everyone who has reviewed, ask you all to review more and tell you all that there are links of all the kids on my profile. Oh, and that my new story should (hopefully) be even better than this! Thank-you!
