I do not own Twilight!

Laughed Until We Cried

(Alice's POV)

I groaned as I hung up my phone for the one millionth time. Wrong Cynthia Brandon, again! How many Cynthia Brandon's are there in Seattle? I wish that I had more information about her. It really sucks that I can't find her. I just want to know where I come from. Is that such a bad thing? To want to know a person who is related to you by blood. I've always viewed Carlisle, Esme, Nessie, and Edward as my real and one and only true family, but I just want to know more about my bio family. There was a sister of mine out there in this world that was related to me by blood. I've always had a small little feeling of being left out because no one was blood related to me. I mean Edward at least has Ness, and she has him. But I really shouldn't be complaining. I grew up in a wealthy home with lots of love and happiness. I just wish I could find her. She was the key to my past. The key to who my parents are. Who I am.

"Alice you'll find her soon," Rosalie reassured me in a chipper tone. I frown at her as I go to try to look up another Cynthia Brandon.

"I doubt it. You said that about the last five ones," I remarked. She sends me a sheepish smile as I begin to skim my finger up the list of Cynthia Brandon's.

"I wonder how Ness and Edward are," Bella mused as she took a sip from her cup.

"They'll be here soon," I tell her, "physic, remember."

"Yeah, I remember," Bella muttered as she took another sip.

"You know Alice, what if she isn't really your sister. What if this is all a scam," Jacob said to me. I shrugged.

"I hired a pretty good investigator. I'm sure I have a bio sis," I said to him.

"But Alice, how come you two were separated?" Jacob questioned me, "and why did they tell Carlisle and Esme you have no more living relatives to take you in? It just doesn't add up to me."

"Look at Nessie and Edward," I pointed out, "they were separated."

"Yeah, but they did know about one another because Esme and Carlisle were informed about her," Seth spoke up. "Alice something is fishy about this whole thing. I agree with Jake."

"Well can I at least try!" I cried out. "I just want to know if I have a sister out there!"

"Alright, it's your life. Not mine," Jake said as he took a sip of his coffee and opened up the newspaper.

"Come on guys, Turkey day is this Thursday! We're gonna head out to Forks this week," Emmett cheered as he came to sit down by Rosalie. "Hey! Alice! You have your um shopping day. What's it called. It's named after a color, on a Friday..." I roll my eyes at Emmett as he pondered about Black Friday, my holiest of all holy days. I don't see how he forgets the name when the day is in the title. Sometimes I wonder what goes on in that brain of his. Emmett always seemed to be the Kelso of our group.

"It's rhymes with Jack..."

"You mean Black Friday," I mumbled, frowning at him.

"Yeah! Black Friday!" He exclaimed with a big grin on his face. I shook my head as I took a sip of my coffee. Goof.

"Hey, here comes Ness and Edward," Seth said as he noticed the two walk over to the coffee shop.

"Oh, I hope everything's okay with their dad," Bella said in a very worried tone.

I felt bad for my brother and sister. They had a chance to meet a biological family member, but the only problem is he's a dick. I don't know anything about my bio sis or my bio parents, I mean they could've been jerks for all I know. Or maybe I have some physco family member they didn't want me to be in the care of, so they just told Esme and Carlisle that I had no living relatives. This is truly going to end up like Sister Sister, or maybe even the Parent Trap. Who the heck knows.

"Hey guys," I greet my siblings as they enter the area. Both of them look kind of upset about something. Edward went to sit over by Bella and Ness by Jacob. Bella instantly wrapped her arms around Edward in a hug before he pulled her onto his lap. Nessie went to snuggle into Jacob's side.

"What's the matter?" I asked. I could tell something was wrong right away.

"Well as you guys know, we saw our birth dad," Nessie said, "and we learned that...he's dying. And we're on civil terms with him."

"He's dying?" I said slowly.

"He has liver failure and AIDS. He's not going to last much longer," Edward said as he went to go sip his new fresh cup of coffee.

"Are you guys happy or sad about that?" Rosalie asked. The two merely shrugged.

"I mean, he was a real asshole to us and I don't think I'd ever really forgive him...but I mean...Learning that he's dying kind of hit me somehow," Nessie said putting her head on Jacob's shoulder.

"I guess it's just sad that he wasn't really a father and all this crap happened," Edward summed up. It was quiet for a moment until Nessie spoke up.

"So Alice? Any news on this mysterious Cynthia?"

"No," I answered as I looked at all the crossed numbers on the page of Cynthia Brandon's I had. "Nothing at all."

"Sorry to hear that," Nessie said. I just shrugged as I took a big sip of my coffee.

"Why should I care? I mean it's just a key to my past. That's all," I mumble as I slumped back into the couch. I just wish Jasper's warm arms were there to bring me into a nice warm hug. I missed him so much. Sure the video calls helped, but I needed him here with me. Everything sucks big time.

"Alice it's going to be okay," Bella told me. I sighed.

"I know it is, and sorry if I've been a bit of a bitch, but this is really killing me. All this drama. I mean I feel like I'm part in some freaking soap opera," I rant as I rub my temples, "hell, I'm like one of those girls on The Young and the Restless. I just need some fun in my life. What ever happened to all the fun we use to have? Hmmm? Because I for one miss it. Anyone else here just hating all this crap going on?" I look all around at the others and some of them shrugged.

"Well we are heading out to Forks this week," Seth spoke up, "maybe it's for the best. Alice is right, there's nothing but drama going on. I say we go to Forks and relive our childhood. Do stupid things before we're in our forties, have kids of our own, and we're going through a mid life crisis! I say we party our asses off!...Even though two of us may be preggo's, we'll go to Forks and be the crazy ass children we once were!"

When Seth was done with his little ranting of a speech Emmett stood up and clapped.

"Bravo little goof. Bravo!" Seth did a bow and we all couldn't help but laugh.

"Yeah we should," Bella said, smiling at the thought. "I mean, remember all those times we spent together? Like that stupid party Emmett dragged us to and we ended up running through all of those backyards." We all smiled hearing Bella talk about the memory of our first high school party, "and remember the pomeranian that chased Emmett out of the yard!"

"And then we were all dirty from running through god knows what, and we tried to cover it all up from Chief S by watching T.V." Jacob chuckled. We all laughed thinking about it.

"Yeah well it wasn't funny for me. I was grounded for a whole two months," Emmett muttered, but we saw a smile play on his lips.

"Or when we use to have Christmas at Dr. C and Mrs. C's house," Rosalie said, laughing a bit.

"Ha, remember that Christmas I got that potato launcher," Emmett exclaimed with a big laugh following.

"Hey, remember Bella and Edward kissed under the mistletoe, thanks to yours truly," I said with a big smile on my face. Bella blushed, hiding her face in Edward's chest. My brother chuckled as he held her tight.

"I never thanked you for that sis," Edward said. I smile and shrug.

"It was no problem. I think I wanted you too together more than yourselves," I said. He chuckles as he shakes his head at me. I blow my brother a kiss and he jokingly rolls his eyes at me.

"Or all those times we teepeed homes," Emmett said, "I miss doing those."

"Well you better not do that shit again," Rosalie said sternly to her big bear of a fiancé. "You're a grown ass man. If you do so I'll whip your ass."

"Yes ma'm," he muttered, cowering a bit.

"Well Emmett has always been scared of Rosalie, some things don't change," Edward teased. Emmett scowled at Edward while the rest of us laughed.

"I can't wait for this Thanksgiving now," Seth said grinning.

"I'm sure we're going to have a bunch of crazy family shenanigans about to come our way," Bella said.

We all nodded in agreement before going back to telling stories from our childhood. It was nice to talk about them again, feeling nostalgic. We ended up staying at the coffee shop until it was closing time.

"Let's go to Emmett and my apartment," Rosalie announced, "I don't want to stop partying. I kind of feel young again."

"Babe, you're not that old," Emmett huffed as he kissed her cheek.

"But I mean I feel old. We're getting married, Ness and Bella are pregnant, Alice is married. Damn, time goes by fast," Rosalie said as she shook her head.

"Well how about we savor this time at your apartment," Seth said. "I kind of want to get drunk! Who's with me!"

"No one!" Jacob cheered sarcastically with me. Seth frowned as we all laughed and headed to Rose and Emmett's apartment. When we entered Nessie went to turn their old radio on to a station playing a bunch of songs from today to songs back in the day. Edward and Bella went to get a bowl of chips while Rosalie and Emmett went to go take care of the drinks. Too bad Jazz couldn't be here to do this with us. Maybe I could get him on Skype or something.

"Hey Rose?" I ask my sister in-law as she gets two glasses of water for Nessie and Bella since they couldn't drink.

"Hmmm?"

"Can I use your laptop. I want to try and get a hold of Jazz," I said. She filled the two glasses up with water before turning to me with a smile.

"Oh sure Alice. It'll be nice having him," She said. I smiled.

"Thanks girly."

"No problem pix. Now, come on," she said. I head into the living room with Rosalie where the others begin to gather around on their leather couches. I look towards their big glass sliding doors to their balcony over looking the city. Rosalie and Emmett had an amazing view of Seattle. All the lights in the city shined through the dark stormy rainy night.

"Alright so who wants beer? Or some sort of alcohol?" Emmett asked pulling out a few bottles from their wine cupboard.

"I'll take a beer," Jake said.

"Me too," Edward said.

"Ness and I'll stick to the water," Bella said as she took a sip of her ice water Rosalie got them. Ness nodded and held hers up as well.

"I'll have a Martini," Seth said to Emmett. Seth then went to lick his hand so he could slick his hair back and went to puff up his collar to try to look cool. "Shaken not stirred please."

"Too bad James Bond," Rosalie said rolling her eyes, "I'm not making you a damn martini. Choice of beer or wine. Pick from the above."

"I'll take a beer," Seth said, his voice cracking a bit. I chuckle as I go to lean against the wall; watching as Seth takes the beer and gulps it down.

"What's your poison Ali?" Emmett asked me. "We have everything." I frown at him and look back at Seth.

"I thought Rosalie said.."

"Yeah, I know. She doesn't want him having one...So what'll be?"

"I'll just have a glass of wine, whatever is fine," I said.

"Alright Ali girl," Emmett said. He then handed me my drink and I went over to the laptop to contact Jasper. I smile as I get a connection with him. Soon Jasper's face appeared through the computer screen. He was in a gray wife beater and had his army camouflage pants on. He fiddled his dog tags through his fingers.

"Hey sweetie," he said to me with his classic country looking grin.

"Hey Jazz," I said, smiling back at him.

"Yo! It's Jazzy boy! Man, I miss you!" Emmett said coming over. Jasper chuckled.

"I miss you too buddy," Jasper said. "Not so many more months left, I promise."

"I hope so," Rosalie said as she came over to the screen as well. "We really do miss you bro."

"Same sis, strange without having my twin with me," he teased. Rosalie smiled, but I could tell tears were pricking her eyes.

"So how's Bells and Ness? Pregnancy driving you guys crazy or what?" Jasper asked as he leaned back in his chair.

"Why don't you ask them," Emmett said, chuckling a bit as we stepped back to show our two pregnant friends on their boyfriend's laps.

"We drive you crazy Jazz?" Nessie said to him, raising an eyebrow. I could tell she was joking as Jasper hide a bit behind the computer.

"No..."

"Ha, look at that. A military officer scared of two old pregnant ladies" Emmett howled with laughter, slapping his knee. Bella and Nessie exchanged looks before turning to look at Emmett.

"What did you just say?" Nessie asked him. He cowered in fear and gave them a big innocent grin.

"Nothing..."

"That's what I thought," Bella said. We all burst into laughter and I couldn't help but grin looking at my family. Yeah that's right. Family. These guys have always been my family. Always will be.

"So..why are you guys hanging all around Rose and Emmett's apartment..with alcohol?" Jasper asked us.

"Oh, just talking about memories. Going down memory lane. A bunch of that nostalgic crap," I answer for him as I take a sip of the red wine Emmett gave me.

"Like what?"

"The stuff we use to do. You know when were young and didn't have a bunch of worries on our hands," Rosalie said.

"Yeah, like when we use to egg homes for the hell of it," Emmett said with a big grin on his face.

"I thought we were done with all of that?" Jasper questioned.

"Yeah we are..I miss it!" Emmett sobbed out. We all chuckle as we watch Emmett, a grown ass man, cry.

"Well Thanksgiving is coming up," Bella said, "I mean we should do something young and crazy again..that won't cause the death of my unborn children."

"Like egging!" Emmett and Seth cheered.

"No!" we all yell. They both wince and sit down on the couches. I laughed as I looked at Jasper smiling at us. I really did miss him. I just wish he was here holding me as we all shared our wild and crazy stories from the past.

I smile as I turn to my friends and we began the story telling.

(Bella's POV)

I smiled as I snuggled up to Edward. Most of us were drunk; Emmett, Seth, Alice was slightly, and even Rosalie. And drunk Rosalie was something you'd only see once every blue moon. Jasper wasn't on anymore. After about a hour he had to get off because he had to go. We all missed Jasper, but it was nice to see his face even if it was on a computer screen. You know I kind of wish I could drink something right now, but I have three little babies to worry about. Three...wow. I have three kids inside of me. Never really thought of the idea, but whatever. I just can't wait to have my little babies with me and not have to worry about going to the bathroom every five minutes because I have three kids sitting on my bladder.

"Hey Emmy," Rosalie hiccuped, standing up from her spot on the couch. The song Slide by the Goo Goo Dolls came on. I remember I was eleven or twelve when this song came out. Just keeps on adding to all this nostalgia. "Wanna dance with me sugar bear?" Rosalie asked her fiancé.

"Sure thang baby girl," he said. The rest of us laughed as they began to dance around in the kitchen, giggling. I smiled. They were truly happy with one another, even if they are drunk at the moment. I look to see Seth was content with himself as he danced with his bottle of bear and began to sing to the song. Alice didn't really start drinking until Jasper left the chat. Poor thing has a lot going on in her life, all of us do as she said before. Right now Alice was just swaying back and forth and kept on saying, "This is my song."

My head shook in giggles as I watched them with the others.

"Hey I say we dance," Edward said. I raise my eyebrow at him as he takes my hand. I grin a bit as he beings to sway back and forth to the song with me. I smile as I listen to the lyrics. I use to sing this all the time with Alice and Rose in the car.

Could you whisper in my ear

The things you wanna feel

I'd give you anythin'

To feel it comin'

Do you wake up on your own

And wonder where you are?

You live with all your faults

I wanna wake up where you are

I won't say anything at all

So why don't you slide

Yeah, I'm gonna let it slide

"I loved this song so much," I reminisce as I lean my head against Edward's chest.

"I know love, time does go by fast doesn't," he said.

"Yeah it does," I agree. Soon Nessie and Jake joined us on the dance floor and we all began to dance around the house. I chuckle as Edward swirls be around in my brother's kitchen. My bare feet twirl around on their tile. We were all just laughing and having a good time. Something we needed desperately.

"Oops," Seth hiccuped, losing his balance and falling off the counter. We all stare in shock as he jumps up.

"I'm okay!" We all just burst into laughter for some reason as I get swirled around by Edward some more.

It was so nice to laugh. Ah laughter. The one thing that can cure anything. Broken hearts to saddened minds. Laughter is truly a great gift. For the rest of the night we laughed until we cried.

A/N: I feel like it's been a long time since I've written anything for this story. Just wanted to savor my summer a bit more and catch up on the Vampire Diaries...anyway did you like it? I know it was all about going down memory lane and stuff, but I feel like these guys needed a moment like this in their lives at the moment, even if some of them got drunk. Plus it's a bit different for me because I did two POV's for this chapter. It's based on the song by Jason Aldean, Laughed Until We Cried. Anyway so anyone who has answered the poll THANK YOU SO MUCH! I needed up with that decision and I think I'm going to close that poll soon. Also I wanted to bring up that I have a blog now for FanFiction, the link is on my profile, and if you guys want you can find a tap for the Ever Since We Met Trilogy and some of my other stories. It's fairly new so go check that out if you haven't yet. Also I have a joint account with my best buddy since diapers now and we plan to write stories together. We're known as Supernaturaltwihards and it's mostly going to be Twilight crossovers with shows like the Vampire Diaries and Supernatural. Anyway in the meantime be on the lookout for more drama coming into their lives and one hell of a thanksgiving for these guys, Please Review, and I love you all to bits.
