…BBC…

I woke up later than usual the next morning. I sighed and turned over reaching for my absent husband. I huffed and sat up, rubbing my chest as my nipples tightened in the cold air.

"Well that's a nice sight to come home to." Edward smiled as he walked into the room, bright eyed and sweaty. He ran his fingers through his hair and winked at me.

"Hmm," I grumbled sleepily. "What time is it?" He checked his phone and put it on the dresser.

"Nine. Come here." He said opening his arms.

"Can't you feel how cold it is? I'm not getting out of this bed naked." I pulled the comforter up over my shoulders and he pouted, coming for me.

"Come shower with me." He said before pressing a kiss to my lips. He didn't give me time to answer instead lifting me out of bed and carrying me into the bathroom.

"Baby, I'm sore." I whimpered, curling into him as he carried me.

"I know, the warm water will help." He said, setting me on the bath mat and turning on the water. After doing so he stripped down while he watched me.

"How was your run?" I asked as he came back and wrapped his warm arms around me.

"Good. I ran to, you know, civilization," I chuckled, "and bought Elizabeth new sheets. We can put them on at the end of the week though because I plan on fucking your brains out multiple times before we change them." I moaned and pressed into him so that his dick was trapped between our stomachs.

"I think that's a good plan." I smiled tilting my mouth up to meet his. He pressed his hand into the small of my back and stuck his tongue into my mouth, caressing my tongue sweetly.

"I love you, beautiful." He said, running his fingers through my hair.

"Love you too." I pressed my lips to his once more before breaking away and darting my bare ass into the shower. I moaned as the water scalded my freezing skin. We both bathed slowly between kisses. We managed to make pretty good time though and were still out before anyone else woke up.

"Want coffee?" I asked Edward, after finding that that was the only breakfast thing my daughter had in the house.

"Sure," He said, sitting in the cute little window seat that was in the room right off of the kitchen. As soon as I put it on, Olivia and Ellie showed up.

"Good morning, girls." Edward said from his seat.

"Hey, Daddy." Olivia waved; Ellie just scowled at him and wouldn't meet my eyes.

"How about you work your magic and I'll work mine." Olivia wiggled her eyebrows at Ellie as she took a seat on the stool opposite me.

Ellie furrowed her eyebrows, "Should I fear for my virginity?"

"I don't know why you'd fear for something you lost ten years ago."

"Ah... This isn't father appropriate." Edward groaned, wrapping his arm around me as I sat with him at the window seat.

"Don't even get me started on what's appropriate, father." Ellie huffed, pulling the cup of coffee I made her towards herself. "And come on. I've been married for some time now. I think we all know I'm not a virgin."

"I want to know why I'm discussing this with you..." He said under his breath.

"It's not like you and mom don't have sex." She shrugged grabbing a coffee cup herself. "I think last night is a testament to that."

"Why is it always about sex with you people?" Olivia moaned taking her bagel and standing from her chair. "And by the way I just wanted you to braid my hair." She huffed. Ellie shrugged and picked up her phone.

"Shit… Jared and Bowie are almost here." Olivia gasped at her sister's news.

"Blake is coming?! Why?!" My littlest girl had gotten her heart broken by Blake, as he was now called, around two years ago. They'd broken up a while ago and while he moved along flawlessly O was still stuck on stupid.

"It's not the end of the world, O." I advised, taking a sip of my bitter coffee before exchanging it with Edward's which was much sweeter.

"Um... okay." He shrugged setting my coffee on the side table.

"It is!"

Tony entered the room scratching his stomach over his boxers. "It's been two years, O."

Ellie turned to him, scowling. "Why do you never wear clothes? Is this what happens when I leave the house?" She gestured to her boxer clad brother and O nodded.

Tony shook his head, "I don't want to be bound by the man. Do you know what boundaries the man makes?"

Ellie wrinkled her nose and leaned away from her brother. "Apparently brushing your teeth."

"And clothes." I muttered looking at the half naked kid. "Tony, go put something on, you're around women."

"I assure you, I've been around a lot more women in a lot less, Ma." I rolled my eyes and Edward snickered with a nod.

"Dad knows what I'm talkin' about." He wiggled his eyebrows at Edward.

"Tony, you're getting a little indulgent aren't you, bud?" Ellie joked, poking at Tony's flat stomach.

"We should start going to the gym together. I could use the exercise." Edward said, sitting up behind me. Both Ellie and I turned to him in confusion; Edward was probably the healthiest of all of us, the fittest too. I didn't know why he'd need to go to a gym on top of everything else he already does.

Olivia stomped her foot and threw out her hands. "Excuse me! I'm in crisis here! Oswald is coming! I have no nice clothes…" She tugged her fingers through her messy blonde hair.

"Two years!" Ellie groaned.

"I don't know why you'd want to impress a guy with a name like Oswald anyway." Tony huffed; Ellie turned on her heel and took off down the hallway towards the rooms.

"You're friends with Oswald!" She squeaked, I turned and pulled the throw blanket off of the back of the couch, putting it over both Edward and myself.

"Hey, hey, don't get defensive, I'm just saying… You dated an Oswald for years." Ellie returned to the room with a pair of pajama pants and a t-shirt.

"Here," She handed off the clothes to her brother before taking a seat at the island with her sister.

"Where's Jared? He'll be on my side." Olivia groaned, craning her neck to look around the room.

"Why do we need sides? Let's just all calm down-" Olivia opened her mouth and Edward cut her off with a wave of his hand before continuing to speak. "And relax. It's a vacation, not a debate." I nodded in agreement, pulling my legs up and pressing my toes to Edward's warm leg.

"Fine. Fine." Olivia shrugged; Tony nodded and yanked a shirt over his head while Ellie just swung to face the counter.

"So…" I broke through the tense silence. "You and Jared decided to build a shed? I like it." I don't know what made me say it but everyone in the room turned to me, while Edward snickered behind me.

"What?" Ellie turned back towards us.

"The new shed?" I cleared my throat.

"We don't have a shed." I blanched and Edward coughed from behind me. "I think you're talking about our neighbors kids playhouse. They just built it last month." I tensed and Edward's coughing got worse.

"Fuck my life." I hissed. Tony watched us for a moment before collapsing into laughter.

"What did you do?!" Ellie shrieked jumping off of the stool.

"Calm down, honey." Edward said, lifting my coffee from my hands and taking a sip.

"You two… If my neighbor calls I'm making you talk to them."

"We didn't tear it down or anything." I rolled my eyes. Tony continued to bust a gut and dragged himself over to the couch, lying down.

"Oh god…" She mumbled. "You two are horrible house guests. You see this?" She pulled at the skin underneath her eye. "These are bags. You know why I have them?"

"You don't know how to properly apply concealer?" Olivia guessed, furrowing her eyebrows in confusion.

"Because I couldn't sleep last night." Ellie said giving her sister a weird look.

"I have some Ambien if you want it." Olivia offered as she started rummaging through the cabinets.

"No-" She said breaking her gaze with us to swat at her sister. "Shut up." Olivia stuck out her tongue at her sister. "You know why I couldn't sleep, Dad?" He shrugged and I rolled my eyes at her dramatics.

"Maybe you do need the pills. I slept fine, Elizabeth." He said.

"No, I couldn't sleep because you-" she pointed at Edward. "were fucking butchering mom next door. Or at least that's what it sounded like from her screaming." I felt Edward's chest swell with pride and grimaced.

"Watch your mouth." I huffed.

"That was you two?!" Tony shot up. "I thought that was just in my nightmare." He proceeded to get weak again and I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Are you high, Tony?" I asked.

"Would it shock you?" Olivia giggled and I lifted an eyebrow at him.

"Ellie, we weren't even that bad…" I sighed.

"You were kind of loud." Edward said lowly in my ear. "But, hey, who wouldn't have been, I'm talented." I tried to hide my laughs behind the blanket and Ellie huffed.

"What'd he say?" Olivia whispered to her older sister.

"I think they're making plans to keep us up again." Ellie groaned, before looking back at us. "Do you know how mentally scaring that was for me?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, I slept like a baby." O giggled. The kid was kind of an airhead, you wouldn't think so if you'd seen her report cards, but one minute of conversation with her and you'd understand.

I quickly grew tired of the conversation and turned to Tony. "Are you doing drugs?"

"Nope, I'm just a free spirit, ma. I get high on life."

"And weed." Olivia coughed.

"I don't do weed." Tony shrugged, "But think what you want. I can't change your mind. I'm not the man."

"Who the hell is the 'man'?" O asked, cocking her hip. I breathed deeply through my nose at the question. She'd asked it before and even though the answer was basically the same, the delivery was just more fucked every time he responded.

Tony's eyes drifted towards us and I shrugged. "How are we the man?" Edward laughed.

"You're cops, and parents. You guys are double the man. Olivia, you're the man too. We all have a little bit of the man in us. Unless you're a completely free spirit like myself." He patted his chest.

"I think you need a little more of the man in your life, bud." Ellie said widening her eyes at her brother.

"I told you. I've got too much of the man around me." He lifted an eyebrow at her and she rolled her eyes.

"I don't think I quite grasp the concept yet…" Olivia said wrinkling her nose in confusion.

"That 'the man' crap is probably why you've never had a girlfriend." Ellie said with a shake of her head.

"That's not always what's most important, Ellie. But you know why you think that? Because the man wants you to think that." I massaged my temples as he tapped his. Tony had been on the 'The man' stuff for about three years now. We; Olivia, Edward and I, had heard this speech many times before.

"Would 'the man's name happen to be sobriety?" Ellie asked.

"If that's who your man is then yes." Ellie scratched her head at his words.

"So, 'the man' is what's keeping you from getting a girlfriend?" Olivia asked. "I still don't…" She shook her head.

"I don't conform to the man's bullshit rules. Relationships don't last forever. Love… love doesn't last forever." I rolled my eyes up to Edward and Ellie scoffed.

"Mom and Dad are still in love-"

"It's the man, El. I'm telling you they probably don't even like each other. Society, man. Society is keeping them together."

"Society's the man?" Olivia interjected.

Ellie shook her head, waving the banana she ate in her brother's direction. "I think you're just upset because you don't get any women to later marry and then hate." I rolled my eyes at Ellie and pushed my hand under Edward's shirt, using his body heat to keep my hand warm. He pulled my knees into his lap, rubbing the outside of my thigh.

"Oh I get plenty of women, sis. That's also why I don't adapt. Why have one when you can have all? For example Olivia; she fell in "love" got heartbroken and two years later she's still upset. Two years of hurt? Two years of endless chicks?" He pretended to weigh the options and Olivia frowned down at her hands.

"Two years of endless chicks, Tony?" Ellie gave him a doubtful look.

"You'd be shocked." I muttered, as my mind flashed back to the image of some random blonde girl sneaking out of my front door, then that time when two girls were leaving my house simultaneously.

"Tony gets the bitches." Olivia laughed, I'm pretty sure she got that 'the bitches' shit from years of hanging around Edward and Jazz.

"That's… unbelievable." Ellie sighed.

"Don't be so shocked, Elizabeth. Most girls dig my vibe… The girls who don't have sticks up their asses…" He said shooting her a glance out of the corner of his eye. "Well except those three girls that almost joined the convent." He winked.

"Okay, we get it. Tony's a hunk," Olivia tugged on Ellie's arm. "help me find something to wear!" Ellie pulled out of her sister's grasp.

"I don't know why you're so stressed about Bowie, coming down. Seriously, just leave him alone." She shrugged.

"I can't…" She looked like she was about to cry, I stood and went to her, pulling her into a hug.

"Why are you making a big deal out of this?" Ellie asked with wide eyes.

"Ellie, leave it alone." I huffed at her. Edwards phone started ringing and he quickly silenced it before grimacing. I lifted an eyebrow and he shook his head.

"I mean, she was the one who started the conversation, so…" Olivia huffed and pulled away from me at her sisters words.

"Sorry we can't all be as perfect as you, Elizabeth, with your hot husband, beautiful house with white picket fences and two point five children…" Olivia waved her hand around in the air with an eye roll. "Things don't always turn out as great for everyone as they did for you."

"Excuse me, Olivia. The adults are talking." Ellie held up her hand and I knocked it out of the air.

"Don't be an ass." I sighed. "Olivia look, if Blake being here is going to cause a problem then just stay away until he leaves. Go shopping, go to the amusement park or something, I'll go with you."

"That's not fair! Why do I have to leave on my vacation because he wants to show up?! I'm family!"

"Sadly so is he." Edward said from behind his phone.

"Or you could stay and be nice." I shrugged and hip checked Ellie away from my coffee cup.

"You know what I'll do?" Olivia asked wagging her finger at me as I shut the computer. "I'll just get some closure-" she plopped down next to Edward who tossed an arm over her shoulder. "Then we'll have breakup sex and move on with our lives." Edward yanked away his arm and glared at her.

"You did that on purpose. You aren't funny." He grumbled.

"I wasn't trying to be funny. I'm an adult now, and adults do what they have to do."

"And if you continue speaking to me about what adults have to do, I'm cutting off your cell phone." He said seriously, she shoved his arm.

"You're no fun anymore, Daddy. When'd you get so old and crappy?"

"I'm not old." She poked at his chin.

"I don't know, I think I see a gray hair."

"I see one too." He said flipping her ponytail into her face. I took a seat on the stool and Tony started to talk.

"She's right, Dad. Sex usually is key." I cringed and shook my head. Ellie gagged and Edward moved away from O, standing by me, as she and her twin decided that it was the right moment to start talking about their different sexcapades.

"Okay, I'm out." I sighed before standing and grabbing Edward's hand.

"Make sure you get back by dinner, we're all eating together!" Ellie called after us even though dinner was more than six hours away.

"Oh can we stop by that burger place down the street? What is it called Burger's Priest?"

"Why not?" I shrugged; he grinned and wrapped his arms around my waist, waddling us out of the room.

"Or..." He kissed my neck tightening his hold around my waist. "I could just Burger your priest in the bedroom." I wrinkled my nose.

"That sounds disgusting." He stopped us in the middle of the hall and slid a hand down the front of my pants, cupping my warmth. I moaned, slightly bucking into his hand as my hand gripped his arm.

He lightly teased my folds, dragging his finger up and down it. "Sorry, what were you saying beautiful?" I just moaned in response and wrapped my arm around his neck.

"Alright," Seth sighed dejectedly as his door swung open at the end of the hall. "I guess this just isn't going to stop." I yanked away from Edward and then pushed him for good measure. "Well it's nice to see that old age hasn't affected your libidos." He groaned, palming his forehead before he started down the hall, Edward lightly punched his arm as he passed.

"Hey, Seth," I walked around Edward until I was side by side with Sethy.

"Do we really have to talk right now…? After what I witnessed… can't we just call a spade a spade?" I ignored him, waving my hand in the air.

"Where's Carrie? I thought she was coming." I looked over my shoulder at Edward. "Get the keys and I'll be ready in one second, okay?" He nodded and left for the room.

"What, did you get tired of picking on dad so now you need a new victim?" Carrie was Seth's girlfriend of over a year now and she still barely came around the family. Seth was just being an ass about her not being here. Carrie loved me… I think. I mean, I wasn't allowed to tease her anyway, per Seth's request.

I scowled at him before reaching up and whacking him in the back of the head. "Don't." Let's be real, the kid wasn't going to talk to me any kind of way just because he wasn't in my care legally anymore.

"Sorry…" He wrinkled his nose and rubbed the back of his head. "I just…" He gave me a sad, troubled look and I lifted an eyebrow before coaxing him into Olivia's empty room and shutting the door behind us.

"Talk to me." I said tugging him towards the bed and sitting down. I touched his chin, making him look up from his hands at me and nodded for him to speak. He opened and closed his mouth for a second before biting his lip, looking dead on Edward. Seth went through a couple of different looks as he grew. When he was a young child he looked like me, then as his face matured and broadened and whatnot he basically grew into a younger Edward. Eyes, cheeks, nose…. It was all Edward.

So needless to say, the kid was gorgeous as were his siblings.

"Okay, I don't know how to sugar coat this-"

"That's fine, I'm tough, just tell me." I said, meeting his eyes.

"Okay. Carrie, she's uh- she's afraid of you." I shrugged at his words and waited for more. "So she's still debating whether or not she's coming."

"Oh please, tell her not to be such a bitch." I wasn't really a fan of Carrie… "I'm not mean to the newbies anyway… Hell, I'm not even mean to Jared. I'm not even that bad, it's all fun and games…"

"Carrie is sensitive." He needed to tell Carrie's sensitive ass to get down here.

"I see. Well tell her to come over, and that you miss her or something. This is an event for everyone so she should be here." I shrugged and stood.

"I don't think she's going to come, Mom… Maybe if you were nicer to her-"

"I'm plenty nice. I'm a ray of sunshine." I sent him a short, bright smile

"Once you get through the angry tsunami of angst and… anger." He joked.

"Well you survived the tsunami, that's all you'll need to do!" I smiled at him and leaned down to hug my baby. "I'll be extra nice."

"Even to Dad?" He shot me an incredulous look from the corner of his eye.

"I'm not mean to your father, stop saying that." I nudged him with my elbow.

"Well I have a question," I waved him on. "If you don't like Carrie-" I gasped for his benefit, looking horrified at the thought. "Oh stop it, we all know." I lost the façade and nodded. "If you don't like her, why do you want her to come over?"

"Well," I started, "she makes you happy, and that's the only reason I've been holding back." It was all true. Seth freaking glowed whenever his little girlfriend was around, literally. Then he moped and walked around in a foul mood when she wasn't close by. If she could make my little boy happy, I didn't really give a fuck about how annoying and dare I say inadequate she was.

Then again, I'm that mom who doesn't think anyone is right for her son. I realize and can admit that, so I try to let him be, even though I'm seriously biased.

"Really?" His eyes widened and I chuckled with a nod.

"You're happiness is all that matters to me." I kissed his stubbly cheek and patted his knee.

"Thanks, mom." He blushed before turning to hug me.

"Alright, as cute as this is, Oswald is like ten minutes away and I need to find clothes." Olivia said from the doorway. She barged into the room and started ripping open drawers and throwing things out. Seth stealthily snuck out of the room, leaving me to deal with his sister.

I stood from the bed and started catching and folding the things she was throwing backwards. "I thought you said you were over Bowie, O."

"I am. I just want him to see how well I've been doing since we broke up. It's no big deal." She said evenly before roaring at the dresser.

"Woah, calm down, honey." I took her shoulders and turned her towards me. "Look when Bowie gets here, you and I can go do something together, have some mother daughter time. We could die your hair back to its real color." I said touching the abused strands. She'd decided to go blonde last year, after Bowie started dating some "bimbo, whore house."

"You don't like my hair?" She whined.

"No, it's okay… I just think your natural color is really pretty." Her hair color was just a little redder than Edward's and it was gorgeous.

"Mom…" I cupped her face and laid a kiss on her forehead. "What am I going to do?" She sighed.

"I think Ellie was right, even though she made her point like an asshole.¬¬ Just ignore him. You can be cordial without being too friendly."

"I can't be anything." She sighed, tugging her hand through her hair again.

"Why not?"

"You don't understand. Bowie…"

"Explain it to me. Help me understand." I begged watching her pace around the room, looking like she was physically in pain.

"Bowie and I had been texting and calling each other… All the time." She started wringing her hands together. "We sexted, had phone sex and Skype sex…" I had no fucking clue what Skype sex was but I just let her continue, even though I was uncomfortable as fuck.

"This was all up until the beginning of school. But…" She looked up at me shyly and I nodded. "He'd had a girlfriend since the end of junior year." Her face crumbled and she fell into my arms.

"Oh, honey." I sighed.

"I don't understand why he'd do that to either of us." She cried. "I thought he still loved me. I thought he just needed some space… He just wanted to have his cake and eat it too."

"Why didn't you tell me about this before, Olivia?" I asked running my hand through her hair.

"I didn't want to disappoint you or dad. I mean, I say stuff to mess with daddy, but I'm really joking." I raised my eyebrows and she nodded. "I'm still technically a virgin."

"That's good." I sighed happily. I didn't know that and having two sexually active teens in my home made me nervous as fuck.

"We've fooled around, but I figured the last thing we needed was a baby around the house… so we only fooled around." She nodded and I hugged her tighter. "But it's more than nothing and he had a girlfriend."

"I should kick his ass."

"Don't. We don't need any drama…" She rested her head on my shoulder and there were four knocks.

"They're here." Seth called through the door. Neither of us moved off of the bed until Olivia patted my knee.

"Go, I need to show him what he's missing anyway." She smiled before another wave of tears came. "Just… go, please." I nodded and exited the room, going towards the voices in the foyer.

When I reached the door Blake was standing in front of Edward and Ellie chatting them up. I approached the boy and quelled my anger, for Olivia.

"Aunt B…" Bowie wiggled his eyebrows at me and I rolled my eyes, hugging him anyway.

"How are you, Blake?"

"Apparently not as good as you, beautiful. You look great." Bowie cat called and Edward leaned over Ellie, smacking the back of his head.

"Thanks." I laughed patting his cheek.

"Bowie, who the hell is that?" Ellie asked as she and Edward stood at the door, waiting for Jared.

"That would be Larissa." He purred her name as he pulled away from me to look back out the door. "Isn't she hot?" I moved to see her too and was greeted by the sight of a tall, brunette who weirdly-

"She looks like you…" Edward said under his breath, reaching over and tapping my thigh. My eyes widened as the girl walked up the side walk. Alice had told me she was a lot like me when we were on the phone, but this was just weird.

"She looks a lot like you." Ellie muttered. Larissa looked up at us nervously as she got closer and Bowie shooed us backwards.

"Woah, I know she's hot but staring is rude." Bowie laughed, holding out his hand for his girlfriend. Larissa smacked his stomach and blushed. "Seriously, snap out of it." Blake said widening his eyes at us. "You're being weird."

"I told you this was a bad idea…" Oh Larissa had no idea how right she was. This was a horrible idea, but Bowie wasn't really known for his good decision making skills…

"This is my Aunt Bella," Bowie said snapping in front of my face. I smiled uneasily and shook her hand. "my uncle Edward and their daughter Ellie." Edward snapped out of it much faster than Ellie and I, he leaned out and shook Larissa's hand too.

"How could Bowie get someone as normal as you?" He asked, I elbowed his side and Larissa blushed again.

"There is nothing normal about this situation." Ellie said under her breath. Larissa's eyebrows furrowed and she chewed on her lip. Seth passed through the hallway and Ellie called after him. "Seth, come look at this." My son came into the room and stopped next to me, staring at Larissa.

"This is Seth…" Bowie sighed, obviously tired of our staring. "They aren't my biological family… Just so you know." Like his real family was much better. "Yeah, come on, I'll introduce you to Tony. He's hilarious." Bow wrapped an arm around Larissa and pulled her out of the room, meanwhile giving us a what-the-fuck look over his shoulder. Jared walked in as soon as Bowie and Larissa disappeared, and lifted an eyebrow at us.

"What's up?" He asked pecking Ellie's lips before slapping his hand into Edward's.

"Bowie's girlfriend…"

"Oh I know. She's way better looking than I expected anyone that would date Bowie to be. After Olivia, I mean." Ellie groaned and Jared hugged me, laying a kiss on my cheek.

Seth lifted an eyebrow. "You don't think she looks like anyone you know?" He pointed at me and Jared shook his head.

"Not really? Why?"

"Maybe he likes Larissa because she looks like Olivia?" Ellie suggested.

"She does not look like Olivia." Edward said.

"Olivia and I look alike… She is my kid, guys."

"But she's the feminine version of dad. What does she really have of yours? You're chin, face shape and mouth. Now, Larissa. Larissa is like you minus thirty five years." I rolled my eyes and scoffed.

"Thirty five is a little dramatic-" I huffed, moving out of the small foyer and heading toward the living room, Seth followed behind me.

"Ma, I think you're Bowie's MILF." Seth laughed, poking me in the side.

"The whole being a MILF thing isn't something I can say is new." I gave a shrug and that whipped the smile off of his face. "This is a little much if you ask me, though." I gestured to Larissa who stood being gawked at by Tony.

My youngest son stared for another minute before falling into humorless laughter and standing up. "Oh, man… You're fucked up. This is unbelievable." Well if there was anyone who'd tell it like it was it'd be my 'man'-hating son. The man would probably want him to keep it all in.

"She looks like mom, bro!" He pointed at Larissa who blushed and stared at her feet.

"Hey, I didn't make her. I just date her." Bowie huffed; looking irritated like this is a conversation wasn't a first.

"Let me talk to you for a second… Over there." He pointed towards me and Seth before giving his god brother a shove.

"Bowie, don't make me kick your ass, man. This is not cool." Tony said his eyebrow twitching angrily.

"So what? She looks a little like Aunt B." He turned and winked at me and Seth shoved his shoulder. "Is that such a bad thing?"

"You know, I think there is a more appropriate setting for this conversation." I said squeezing my way between them.

"That's not even the problem! Why would you bring her around when you know Olivia is here?!" Tony growled, his neck flushed. I sighed as I looked up at Larissa who was quivering in the corner across the room. Ellie rushed in to little Larissa's defense and showed her down the hallway.

"Let's calm down, guys…" I held up my hands and pushed the boys backwards, hoping that Tony didn't get Seth fired up.

"I didn't even think about Olivia. This is going to kill her!" Seth said from behind me.

"Hey, Olivia and I cut it off two years ago! Please, just stop making her the victim!" Bowie raised his voice. I clenched my jaw, kind of wanting to deck the kid after what O told me.

"Are you kidding? You break her heart and then just flaunt this mom-look-a-like in front of her? That's fucking cold man." There goes Seth.

"What can I say? Ladies love me!" Bowie boasted as they all closed in on each other, and me.

"You're an asshole!" Tony growled. "You know what? I think you and your little friend should just leave."

"Fuck you, man. I have every right to be here as you do!" He said flipping off my son.

"Says who?!" Tony yelled.

"Oh my god…" I sighed. They were literally so fucking close I could feel them breathing and sons or not, that shit was nasty.

"Okay, fine. She can't stay, so either send her off or leave with her." Tony yelled.

"Everybody chill the fuck out!" I yelled, over all of them holding my hands up. The three boys all started talking at once and I screamed again. "Take three steps back or I will kick all of your asses and you know I can do it!" They all quickly stepped back but the arguing didn't stop. "Shut your mouths, now." I stomped my foot and they shut up.

"Okay, Bowie. This situation is weird for all of us. But bringing Larissa here, to your ex-girlfriends sister's house while the entire family is present was an idiotic idea."

"Look, I can't change the fact that O and I dated, but you guys are my family too, so why the hell can't I bring my girlfriend around?!"

I sighed, because it was true. Bowie was like my own kid, one with a slight Oedipus complex, but still one of my own. "Honey, I know but still-"

"Tell him how fucking weird it is that he's basically dating you." Seth kicked in; I pivoted towards him and lifted an eyebrow.

"Pervert." Tony spat behind me..

"Oh fuck you two! You think I give a damn about what you guys think? Larissa makes me happy! Am I not allowed to be happy because I've had a past relationship?"

"You just don't fucking see it do you?!" Tony screamed.

"Dude, it's like doubly bad with her and Mom. It's weird." Seth said trying to over shout his brother.

"Oh shut up, it's not like I picked her out of a lineup of women just because she looks like your mom!" Bowie said rolling his eyes and pointing at me.

"Alright, I'm leaving." I pushed through Tony and Seth and left the room. Jared passed me in the hallway and raised his eyebrows.

"Uh oh."

"Make sure they don't hurt each other." I directed before heading into the room where Edward and I stayed. Edward sat with Olivia on the bed, his arm around her as she cried into his neck.

"Shh, shh, shh…" He pressed a kiss to her hair and rubbed her back.

"I just don't understand, why he would-" She sniffled and wiped at her nose.

"I don't think he did this to hurt you… You know Bowie and how muddled the kid's head is. I think he was so focused on how Larissa looked…"

"Are you saying she's prettier than me?!" She shrieked, pulling away from her father.

"What? No. Of course not, honey." He said, "But she's got a very… familiar and motherly look to her, I guess…" He said softly and I snorted to myself.

"He has mommy issues. That's what you're trying to tell me?" She asked.

"He has… your mommy issues."

"I don't follow."

"None of us do." He sighed; I backed out of the doorway and let them have their moment. Instead I went down to Ellie's room where she was comforting Larissa.

"I don't understand why you all hate me…" Larissa cried, leaning into Ellie. I pursed my lips; a little insulted that Ali would say I was like her. If there is one thing I don't give a fuck about its whether strangers like me or not.

Fuck them.

"Honey…" Ellie pulled her against her side and pouted into the air, sympathetically. "let the haters be your motivators." She smiled to herself, because she thinks she's hilarious, and pursed her lips as Larissa pulled away.

"You're right." Ellie gave her a cocky look and Larissa continued. "I should go out there and give them a piece of my mind." I lifted and eyebrow and furrowed my eyebrows.

"Yeah, you might want to tone it down. We Masen's are a violent people." Ellie warned. "If you really want respect, just toughen up a little. Don't let things visibly affect you, especially around Mom. She's not really into people's emotions." I scoffed to myself.

I'm sympathetic as hell.

"Okay, what about your brothers?"

"Eh, they're mad at Bowie. Not you, you'll be fine. I said we're violent. Not irrational. Most of us at least." I walked into the room to let my presence be known and stood in front of the girls, putting on my most caring face, to prove Elizabeth wrong.

"Are you alright?" I asked softly, touching her shoulder. She sucked up her tears and accompanying mucus before nodding.

"Fine." She whispered, hiccupping.

"That's good. Don't worry about all of that-" I waved towards the door, in reference to the boys who'd started up again, this time Jared joined in. "Things like this happen all of the time." I lied. The boys had their spats but it was usually over something extremely stupid. This was a little more serious and it sounded like it was getting worse.

"Hey!" Edward screamed from down the hall. "All of you shut up or I'm getting my gun!" I kicked the door shut and smiled sheepishly at the girl. The screaming went down in volume just a little and I sighed.

"He's joking."

"No he's not. Don't be afraid if you see a gun or three just kind of thrown around… My parents are cops. Cops who aren't very careful with their lethal weapons." She lifted an eyebrow at me.

"You sure do talk a lot." I scowled at my daughter and she shrugged, rubbing Larissa's shoulder.

"Don't worry about any of us, we'll be perfectly nice to you unless provoked to act otherwise." I said waving towards the door. "We can't hide out in the room all day. Let's get this all settled before shit gets weird, why don't we?" The two girls looked at me warily before standing and following me out of the room.

"Here we go." I pulled the door open and picked up the pace to the kitchen where those asses were still fighting. I could understand the boys being worried about their sister. Hell, I was equally worried. But Olivia was resilient; she'd get over it in no time. This was nothing to start fucking world war three over.

"Damn it!" I hollered as Tony swung at Bowie, who dodged the punch. I rushed my youngest son and shoved him backwards, thwarting Bowie's punch and pushing him into the refrigerator that was immediately behind him. "If you boys can't act your age, you will both be leaving. You understand me?" I asked as my head whipped from side to side, looking at the boys who were huffing and puffing. "Sit down. All of you." I pointed to the living room and lead them in.

"First of all let me start off my saying that I'm not taking any sides. Don't ask me to, you're both wrong. And you're both idiots."

"Thanks, mom." Tony grumbled and I rolled my eyes.

"Be quiet and listen." I looked back at Ellie and Larissa as they entered the kitchen timidly. "There is to be no hitting, kicking, tripping or anything else violent or I will kick your asses. If you have nothing to say, don't say anything at all." I pointed at Tony and then at Bowie. "Simple rules, right?" Seth and Jared nodded but Tony and Bowie just pouted and crossed their arms immaturely.

"You." I pointed at Bowie, "If you are doing all of this to fuck with Olivia, you should just leave now. She's not interested in your shit, understand?" He nodded and rolled his eyes. I picked up a magazine from the table next to me and threw it at him. "Don't roll your eyes at me."

"Now all of you go be happy. If that means you have to split up so be it, but if I hear any more fighting, it's your asses." I spun on my heel to see that Edward and O had joined Ellie and Larissa in the kitchen. Edward winked at me, biting his lip seductively. I blushed lightly before turning back to the kids. "Alright, you can go." They immediately jumped up to leave the room.

I walked out and tugged my hand through my hair. I heard footsteps approach me I didn't have to turn to know that it was Edward coming up on me.

"Good talk coach." He slapped my ass, making me jump and smack his arm.

…BBC…
