All We Know

BPOV

"Edward, have you seen my black Jimmy Choo's?" I yelled from the closet.

"No, dear, ask Kiera, she seems to always be the one wearing them, not us guys." Edward chuckled.

I got up off the floor and walked into Kiera's room and sure enough there were my $500.00 shoes thrown in the middle of her floor. "Kiera! What have I told you about borrowing my shoes?" I yelled. She came stomping out of the bathroom with curlers in her hair. "Mom I don't have time for this right now. I have to get ready for my date tonight. Besides, in a couple of weeks I'll be off to college and you won't have to worry about it, you'll be stuck with all these stinky boys! No one to take your shoes. Now, help me find an outfit or I'll tell Aunt Alice you want to come shopping in NY this weekend." she smirked over her shoulder as she disappeared into her closet. "That's not playing fair and you know it. I'll tell her how you left these Jimmy's laying around." I smiled and her face dropped, the last time I did that, her Aunt Alice gave her a 2 hour lecture on taking care of her clothes and shoes and then banned her from shopping for the day and Kiera was just as bad as Alice. We finally settled on a cute dress for Kiera, it was purple with black pinstripes and she wore black stilettos, she took the curlers out and her hair fell in waves, like mine, soft smoky purple eyeshadow and simple jewelry and she looked great, she was going to dinner with her longtime boyfriend and his family before they went off to college, she was going to follow in Paul's footstep's, she wanted to be an Architect, she had some fabulous designs and her and Esme, spent hours drawing every weekend.

We walked out to the living room where the boys were playing Halo.

Kellan, with his big mouth, started first "Why are you dressed like that Kiera?" he stated.

"Not that it's any of your concern, but Thomas is taking me out to dinner with his parents tonight." she smiled and stuck her tongue out, true Alice form. "Well, I don't like you going out half naked!" he yelled, now in her face. Like this was anything new, he thought because he was twice her size he could tell her what to do and she, being small and feisty always gave it back to him, her other brothers were bigger also, but not always as bossy, they were a little calmer, but Kellan at 16 ½ , was anything but calm and at that point and time, Edward walked in and joined the conversation and not liking Thomas or his parents this was going to be fun. "What's going on here?" he asked, while straightening his cuffs on his suit. I walked up to him, trying to head off the argument and straightened his collar and smiled, "Kellan thinks that the dress Kiera is wearing is too small, but it's fine, it's just dinner with Thomas and his family." I smiled and nibbled on Edward's earlobe and he groaned. "Dad, come on. Don't let mom seduce you. You know you're not getting any right now, you've got the benefit thing tonight, look at her dress, it's too small!" Kellan shrieked. At that time, Paul and Samuel decided they needed in on the action too. Paul was the spitting image of Edward and acted just like him too, he was Esme's favorite, everyone knew it, only for the fact that he was a mini-Edward, out of all the other grand children, it was Paul, always, who got the first hug, kiss, cookie and then Samuel, he had a lot of Edward too, but he had my eyes and hair color, Edward, crazy hair and he was very quiet, not outgoing and preferred his books, to sports and girls. They were 13.

"Kiera, that dress is a little small, you should were something more appropriate." Edward said with a frown. "Edward! She is fine, she is not changing!" I scolded him and gave him the 'if you want any, anytime soon' look. "Bella, it barely covers her ass!" he yelled back at me. I looked at him and stated "You never had a problem when I wore stuff like that when were we dating, now did you? And I don't think you have a problem with that now do you?" looking at the dress I had on now, knowing it didn't cover much more than hers did. "Fine, Bells, you win this one, but I'm not happy about it and I'm not happy about her dating Thomas either!" he stated. "Yes, you've been telling me and everyone else that for the past 2 ½ years now dear!" I smiled. "Bells, you know how much I hated Mike and Jess in high school and now that our daughter is dating their son, it sends shivers up my spine." Edward whined. "Yes, but they actually seemed to have raised him right, he's respectful and caring and if you spent anytime around the house, you'd know he's helpful." I smiled at him. "Bells, that's not fair, you know to afford living like this…" I cut off his ranting with a kiss. "Edward, I know you're a workaholic just like your dad was. I know that you have to make sure everything runs smooth. And don't try and say we need the money, because I'll beat the shit out of you! You know we don't we've got more than enough from everything that's happened in our lives!" I smiled sadly at him and he knew what I was referring too.

When Paul had passed away, he'd left enough money for Kiera and Kellan to each go to college and they each had a trust fund that they got at the age of 25. I'd also sold our New York house a last year when Edward took over as Chief of Staff at Fork hospital and we didn't have a lot of time to stay up there and keep up the house, so I had that money in CD's and savings as well as the life insurance policies Paul left for me and all of Paul's family money from our marriage, but it just sat there, unless the children needed something, like there cars and then Paul's mother insisted on buying those and paying for insurance, so I really didn't have to worry about those either, Edward was upset because he wanted to buy them cars, but he understood. I reminded him in a few years he'd have Paul and Sam to buy for and he groaned, knowing he'd also have to teach Paul to drive and he wasn't looking forward to that, knowing how much Paul was like him. There was a knock at the door and Edward went to answer it, knowing it would be Thomas, wanting to have a talk with him about Kiera, I reminded him to be thankful that he was the good son, not the older Newton boy the 'namesake' as we teased in the family who was just like his dad, at least Thomas was going to school to be a doctor, that should have made Edward happy, just a little. "Thomas" Edward smirked as he opened the door. "Mr. Cullen" Thomas extended his hand to shake, Edward shook it and motioned for him to come into his office and Thomas saw me standing to the side "Mrs. Cullen, beautiful as always. I know where Kiera gets her beauty from." he smiled and blushed a little. "Ah, a charmer like your father, aren't you." I smiled, our same banter we always did when I saw him and Edward rolled his eyes. "Thomas, I'd like to have a word with you in private." Edward said sternly. "Edward! Play nice and be quick! We have a party and they have reservations! I'm ordering the pizzas for the boys, so hurry." I scolded.

I walked into the living room and gathered the boys to get which pizza each wanted, since they'd each eat their own and ordered, leaving money with Kellan and telling him to behave and he'd better not have his girlfriend over this time or he'd be grounded for a month this time and he'd be benched from football, he was pissed, but knew I was serious and knew that Paul would tell, since him and Paul clashed so much, Kellan jealous that Paul was Edward's biological son, even though Edward loved them all the same, he always felt that he loved Paul more. I hugged and kissed all my boys, stressed to Kellan once again and told him I'd called Kelly's parents and told them we were out for the night and she was not allowed over at all, they thanked me for that, as we'd caught them several times in bed together, two times without protection and she at the time wasn't on the pill, man we were nervous for the next couple of months.

EPOV

I took Thomas into my office to find out his intentions with my daughter, since they were both leaving for college and I knew how crazy life could get once away at college.

"Thomas. What are your intentions with Kiera? You leave for college in two weeks and I know you're both going to be going to Dartmouth, are you going to be dating her still or will you break up and date around?" I asked bluntly, hoping for the later. "Well, sir. I was actually wanting to talk to you about that tonight, so I'm glad you had free time, you've been so busy I've actually tried to come see you at the hospital several times and you're so busy. I um, I want to ask for Kiera's hand in marriage." Thomas was visibly shaking.

"WHAT!" I roared and at that time Bella came bursting through the doors. "Oh, I'd hoped I would have been back before he'd asked you." she smiled. "You, you.. Knew about this?!" I shouted. "Yes Edward. I am actually really excited! The ring is so beautiful! It is simply elegant, something you would have picked all those years ago!" I smiled at him. "Bella, you can't be serious about this! She's just a child!" I yelled at my wife. Bella placed her hands on her hips and taped her shoe on the floor, letting me know she wasn't pleased with me. "Now, Edward. You know that Charlie didn't give you this hard of a time and you were NOTHING but trouble! Thomas here has been a gentleman and him and Kiera are even virgins." Bella whispered the last part, causing Thomas to blush and look at the floor and me to turn bright red "I sure as hell hope so or else Emmett and I would have to beat the shit out of the boy, Bella!" I exclaimed. "Edward! Quit being an ass and give the boy your damn blessing already!" Bella smacked me on the back of my head. "Fine, but if you so much as make my little girl shed one tear, ONE! I will hunt you down, do you understand me Thomas!" I growled at him. Bella smacked me again. "Thomas, you've got our blessing love, give your parents our blessing as well and we want a copy of the video and pictures too, got it?" Bella scolded. "Got it." Thomas winked at her and gave her a hug. "Now, run along, I'll get Kiera, she should be finished. Bella ran upstairs, shooting me a 'play nice' glare and I held up my hands in mock surrender.

"Thomas, welcome to the family." I slapped him on the back and shook his hand and asked what type of medicine he wanted to study, he said pediatrics, ahhh, a man after my own heart. "Yes, sir. I hear Kiera talk about how much you love your job and how rewarding it is and how happy you come home at the end of the day and I want that, sir." Thomas smiled at me. "Tell you what son. Come by the hospital tomorrow around 10a.m. and you can do rounds with me and see what it's like and maybe a few days before you go away to school and then, if you and Kiera want to come back to Forks, you can intern here, I can get you a prime spot or put in a good word for you somewhere, how's that sound?" I smiled at him. "Really?" he sounded surprised. "Really. After all, I've gotta make my little girl happy and if that means keeping you happy, then so be it, Oh, and that means you got to play golf too!" I smiled at him again. "Golf, no problem, love the game, we'll play sometime and as for the rest, thank you Mr. Cullen." Thomas beamed at me. "Thomas my boy, please call me dad or Edward, Edward until after you propose, don't want to give anything away, now do we." I slapped his back again and whispered the last part again. "Oh, remember. Hands to yourself. Virgins until marriage." I smiled and he blushed again. The girls came down together and I saw Kiera wearing Bella's diamond earrings I'd given her when I'd proposed the very first time many years ago, Bella smiled at me and winked. "Kiera, you two be safe and tell Mr. and Mrs. Newton we're sorry our hospital function interfered with their dinner tonight." I hugged my baby girl and kissed her head. "Dad, please." she pushed me away and smoothed her hair out. I shook Thomas' hand and watched them get into Thomas' graduation present, a man really after my own heart, a BMW X6 M, we'd got Kiera a Volvo C30, she loved mine, but wanted one in red.

Bella and I said bye to the boys and warned Kellan again about Kelly, he rolled his eyes and said she wouldn't be over, I told Paul and Sam to let me know if she was and Kellan was NOT allowed to disappear upstairs either, he got pissed at the statement and stormed off into the kitchen and out into the garage, slamming the door, "I'll handle this." Bella said. "No, I will, he's had something bothering him the past few days and I need to get it out of him." I gave a sad smile. I walked into the garage and he was using his punching bag. "Can't I just fucking stay over at Uncle Emmett's for a few days?" he sighed. "Kellan what good is that going to do you?" I asked. "It would get me the fuck away from Paul! He's been an ass and I want to punch the shit out of him." he snapped, punching the bag. "Kellan, why are you just now telling me this and what's it about?" I pulled him away from the bag to look at me. "He's been rubbing it in lately about you being his real dad and not mine." Kellan broke down on my shoulder and cried. I held him tight and pulled out my phone. "Emmett, can Paul and Sam come stay the weekend with you. I need to have some alone time with Kellan. But, first, Kellan wants some one on one time with you tonight, would that be O.K. with you man? Thanks, brother. I appreciate it. He'll be there in 20. O.K., I'll let him know. Uncle Em, said to bring your game because he's got some one on one basketball lined up and then some HALO and Rose is making home nacho's with lot's of pepper's if your man enough, he said." I laughed at Kellan's goofy laugh and smile. He hugged me and I told him we'd talk tomorrow once the boys were gone and we'd send Bella shopping with Kiera. He went inside and told everyone by, Bella looked at me and I told her I'd explain on the way, but we really had to go or we'd be late and that was not an option. I told Paul and Sam to behave they'd be on their own and if there were any problems to call Aunt Rose or Grandma and Grandpa, they waved us goodbye and Kellan followed us out, hugging us both. I explained everything to Bella in the car and she was almost in tears, she had to fight them back and said that Paul would be punished when this was all done, this was not going to be overlooked and I agreed with her on this.

BPOV

I can't believe Kellan is being drafted by the NY Giants; he is now 22 and graduated from Yale with a degree in Business management. He's wearing his dad's number. They brought it out of retirement just for him, after clearing it thorough me. I couldn't be prouder. We're here for a big ceremony putting Paul into the Hall of Fame as an honorary member as well. My baby girl Kiera has since married Thomas and they're back in Forks he's finishing his residency with Edward and both of them are happy, Edward has gained another son, although, he's gained Mike Newton in the process as well, I on the other hand don't have to worry about Jess, they've since divorced and she now lives in Seattle with her new 'younger' man. As for the twins, they'll be starting college this fall and Edward and I will finally be empty nesters and are planning on traveling, maybe with Esme and Carlisle a little, when Edward has free time from the hospital, as he has no plans on retiring anytime soon. As for me, I will be volunteering as usual and keeping an eye on my family, making sure everyone is safe and happy.

I couldn't be more proud of my children, they've all come into their own and have really made something of themselves. Kiera plans on opening a shelter for abused teens, so they have somewhere to go, besides the streets. When Thomas is done with his residency they're moving to Seattle and that's where she'll open it with her trust funds, she's working with Esme now to get a building in the heart of Seattle, so they can start on renovations now and have it ready in 2 years, it'll be able to house 15 teens, 5 teens who have a child and she'll have a staff quarters as well. She has put in for state funding and grants and Carlisle said doctors have to put in so many volunteer hours every month and he can guarantee several will come to her shelter and Edward said he'll also set up a rotation with his doctors to make sure their volunteer hours go to her shelter as well, she was at a loss for words. Sam who was going to U of W, studying in Journalism, said he'd get some of his college buddies to help with the clean up of the building, since she was in Forks still and that would give his Fraternity their volunteer hours for the year by doing that. Paul was off at Dartmouth, just like Edward, studying to be a doctor, he truly was his father's son.

Kellan was going to start a scholarship fund the Paul Reynolds Scholarship Fund. It was for children for normal families, not underprivileged families, just normal families who'd lost a parent and couldn't afford to now go to college. It would give them 4 years of everything paid as long as they maintained a 3.5 GPA and a good conduct, not perfect, everyone screws up, he knows that, as long as it's nothing bad and it includes your books and dorm, your responsible for food and clothes, that's it. I was very proud of him, my babies made good choices. Sam was never jealous of Kiera and Kellan's trust funds, because he knew Esme and Carlisle had money set aside for them one day, but for Kellan and Kiera as well and Paul couldn't get over that, Paul always throws it Kellan's face that Edward isn't his dad, never Kiera's face, only Kellan's and one day Charlie heard them going at it and Charlie was pissed, Charlie let them both have it, told them they were brothers and they better get use to it! They would always be brothers and one day they would need each other and realize it the hard way, he told Paul to stop being an ass to Kellan and told Kellan he might just need to beat Paul's ass once and Paul would stop, of course Sue over heard him and put a stop to that and told me when I came over later that day.

Needless to say, the boys have finally come to an understanding and realized that Edward has always had enough love for all of them and was always fair. I was kind of jealous they never fought over my affections and I let them know as much and they said it was because I was all of their mom's and so they were sure of my love.

I love my family and I wouldn't trade them for anything, none of the fights, none of the heartbreaks, none of it!

It was worth all of it.

Every Last Bit!
