Disclaimer: Yeah I don't own it. I just like to turn all of them human and have my fun with them.
The wonderful christag_banner made me a beautiful banner. Link is on my profile.
I still have the facebook group for my stories. Link for the group is on my profile. There is also a link for a the Twilight Non-Canon group. If you want to join click on the link and request entry. Remember though it is strictly for NON-CANON discussions and stories.
I'm so so so so SO VERY SORRY that this took a while. It gave me such an issue and I don't even know why. It didn't go completely as planned as there was supposed to be more to it, but I decided that I wanted it to just be about what happened here and that's it, moving the rest to the next chapter. I hope you like it. This is not beta'd so all mistakes are mine.
ENJOY...

Halloween-October 31, 2012
"No, come here. Aiden don't take that off. Guys work with me please."
I chuckled quietly as I stepped in the back door and heard Bella in the living room with the twins. Setting my stuff down on the table, I silently moved through the kitchen and peeked into the room.
Bella was in the middle of the floor, trying to wrangle Kinsley into her costume which didn't seem to be an easy task. It might have been easier if she was looking at what she was doing, but her eyes were on Aiden, who was over by the toy box, one arm hanging of his costume and his blue hat in his mouth.
"Need any help?" I asked, smiling when she looked up at me.
"Please," she answered, giving me her own smile of relief.
With a nod, I moved over and scooped Aiden up in my arms. Carrying him over to the couch, I removed the hat from his mouth and secured it back where it belonged, zipped him back up into his costume, and then put his hat back on his head for a second time.
"Tonight is going to be fun." I said as Bella finally finished with Kinsley, her hands already reaching for her hat as well.
"Tell me about it." Bella said, before blowing a raspberry on Kinsley's cheek to make her giggle and distract her from the hat.
As she continued to play with Kinsley I stood and carried Aiden back to the toy box, setting him down and finding a toy for him. It kept him distracted enough that the hat was forgotten for the moment, so I turned to Bella.
She was just letting Kinsley go, so she could play as well until we were ready to leave. After stopping her for a quick kiss, I moved on to Bella pulling her up to her feet and wrapping my arms around her waist.
"Hi," I said, giving her a kiss.
"Hi, back. How was your day?" She asked.
"Good. The kids were all excited for tonight, but it wasn't too bad. What about you?"
"Not bad. I had a few appointments and I ordered stuff for the dark room."
"Cool." I said as Aiden yelled.
We both glanced over and found them with their hats off again.
Bella laughed and shook her head, stepping back.
"Are you ready to go? Or do you want to shower first?" she asked as she squatted and picked up the hats.
"Just give me a few minutes to change and I'll be ready." I answered, backing toward the stairs.
She nodded and I disappeared upstairs, returning five minutes later to find her in the car with the twins already strapped into their car seats.
I gave her a brief smile as I slid into the driver's seat and after a quick glance back at the twins we headed over to Rose and Emmett's.
An hour later, filled with pizza and laughing at Emmett for pouting because Rose had taken away his nunchucks all of us gathered on the sidewalk to start trick or treating.
Esme and Carlisle walked with Kinsley in the lead. Me, Emmett, Andrew, and Aiden followed behind them, while Rose and Bella chatted at the back of the group pushing the empty strollers we knew we'd need later.
For most of the night, Bella and I took the twins up to the doors together. They couldn't say trick or treat or thank you yet, but it didn't matter. Every single person exclaimed over how cute they were and the twins always gave toothy grins in thanks.
By the time we were two thirds of the way through, they each had over half a bag of candy, but surprisingly they were still walking on their own and babbling happily to anyone who would listen.
Thirty minutes later and with just a few houses left that was starting to change though. The twins were in Carlisle's and Esme's arms, happy for the moment, but if they tried to put them down or in their strollers they would fuss and whine.
"I think we should hit one more house and then call it a night." Rose said as we stopped on the sidewalk for a moment.
The rest of us nodded in agreement and started to move again, coming to a long driveway.
"Can we take them?" Esme asked once we'd stopped again.
"Of course," Bella said, smiling.
Esme grinned and took Andrew's hand before turning to disappear down the driveway in front of us.
We couldn't really see where they were as the property was covered with trees, but we could hear the screaming and crying when it started.
Bella and I started down the driveway immediately, Rose and Emmett following close behind, and made it to Esme and Carlisle before they could even get halfway up the driveway.
"What happened?" Bella and I asked at the same time, and then lost that train of thought.
"Mama," Aiden cried and reached his arms toward Bella just as Kinsley cried, "Dada," and reached for me.
My eyes met Bella's wide ones as the words we hadn't expected to hear met our ears.
"Did they just…?" she questioned as tears welled up.
I nodded slowly, not knowing what else to do. While we'd love nothing more than to be called mom and dad, having talked about it late one night, out of respect for Edward and Alice we hadn't tried to get the twins to say it and had made a point not to say it around them.
"Finally," Esme said, drawing our attention to her. "I've been trying to get them to say it for months."
"Esme…?" Bella questioned, shaking her head a little. "We…we never..."
"Oh, sweetheart, I know." Esme said, smiling softly at us. "But just because you didn't give birth to them, doesn't mean you don't deserve to be called mom and dad."
"But-"
"No buts." Esme said interrupting Bella. "Just enjoy hearing those words because it's the best feeling in the world."
Bella and I nodded, grinning finally and hugging the twins closer to us. We realized at the same time that both had fallen asleep while we'd been standing there in shock, causing us to chuckle quietly.
"Let's get them home." I whispered.
Bella nodded and smiled up at me as we set off down the sidewalk, making it back to Rose and Emmett's house quickly.
After getting them settled in their carseats-without waking them up-and giving out hugs to the others we were on our way. The ride home was silent, both of us lost in our thoughts and seemed to come to an unspoken agreement that they would sleep with us tonight.
Once we changed their clothes and ours we climbed into bed with them in between us.
"What are you thinking about, Mama?" I asked, after a moment, and earned a grin from Bella at my choice of word.
"Just how happy I am." she answered. "What about you, Dada?"
"How lucky I am." I said. "And about how much I love you and them."
"We love you too." she said, reaching over to interlace our fingers together..
I smiled and leaned over, giving her as much of a kiss as I could without squishing one of the twins. Pulling back, I settled against my pillow again and as my eyes closed, I knew that tonight was one of the best nights I'd ever had.
