Friday, October 21, 2011 – 7:02 pm – Forks High School Football Field, Forks, WA

A huge curly haired man jogs on to the field waving at the wild crowd. A chant of 'Cullen. Cullen. Cullen' spreads through the stands and the huge man flashes a dimpled childlike smile.

"How did all of that come out of tiny Esme Cullen?" I ask.

"Rumor has it that Edward just walked out," Teddy snorts and I cannot help but laugh with him.

"He isn't that big for a major leaguer, though," Teddy clarifies. "Have you ever seen C.C. Sabathia?"

"True. So I take it Emmett is a town hero?" I ask Alice and Teddy.

"The Cullen's in general are like Forks royalty," Alice tells me. "Even though they live in Port Angeles now, after all the philanthropy they did for the community and Emmett's celebrity status…they are untouchable."

Teddy just snorts in agreement still not touching me and I feel a little guilty for my overreaction.

"Hey," I nudge him with my elbow. "I am sorry I shoved you, but the He-Man, 'She Mine. Not Yours.' behavior pisses me off. So don't do things just to him off, it makes me feel like a pawn in the Teddy versus Edward game."

Teddy nods and slides a hand around my waist and pulls me back in close. He whispers against my lips 'I'm sorry' then gives me a chaste peck.

Jasper slides into the row and sits next to Alice, laying a kiss on her temple, "So what did I miss?"

"The Cullen's are here, Emmett Cullen is MC, Bella and Teddy had their first mini-fight and first mini-make-up, and it looks like Chief Swan is about to speak," Alice lists in one breath.

Alice's mention of my father pulls my attention from the feel of Teddy's hands on me and I look out to the field where sure enough Emmett Cullen is introducing my father in full Fork's Chief of Police regalia is waiting to speak.

"I know you are all looking forward to the game and half-time festivities," Emmett tells the lively crowd. "But, first our esteemed Chief Swan has a few words for us. Take it away Chief Swan."

Charlie takes the microphone from Emmett and with a sniff and a twitch of his mustache he begins to deliver one of his patented 'I know more than you' speeches.

"Now I know we all look forward to Homecoming every year, but it is not an excuse for anyone in this audience to consume alcohol then operate a motor vehicle. We live in a mountainous woody area with twisty slick dangerous roads, we all need our full attention to drive them no matter what we are celebrating.

"It seems every ten years or so I have to respond to a drunk driving accident involving some students from Forks High. Be warned kids, a drunk driving can end not only all your hopes and dreams, but it can end your life and the lives of the other people on the road.

"My daughter is out there in the crowd somewhere, and want her to come home safe. So the officers of Forks PD will be out in force this weekend enforcing DUI and under age drinking laws. So parents don't drink and drive. And Kids, don't drink at all. I will not hesitate to throw all of you in the holding cell."

Charlie sniffs, handing the microphone back to Emmett and an awkward silence falls over the crowd.

"Great advice, Chief Swan, Don't Drink and Drive folks!" Emmett bellows. "Anything else, Chief Swan?"

"Uhhmm…" Charlie mumbles into the microphone that Emmett thrust back into his face. "Let's pound those Beavers…"

Teddy, Alice, Jasper and the rest of the crowd burst out into laughter and cheers and all I can is bury my head in my hands and hope no one clues Charlie in to his double entendre.

I peek my through my hands and catch Edward's eye. He gives me a sympathetic smile and shrug before quickly turning his back to the field.

I can't help but let out a shaky sigh. Between Edward's frequent meaningful glances and Teddy's possessive wandering hands, I don't know how I am going to make it through this game.
