(Seven years Later)~
'Have kids, they said.It'll be fun, they said.'
Fun, my ass!
These kids have caused me nothing but a massive headache! But watch when I get my hands on him! I'm going to tan his ass so hard his kids will feel it!
"Charles Anthony Cullen, get your ass down here!" I called, as I rushed into the house.
I could hear various sets of footsteps making their way towards my location in the foyer.
"Oh god, what did he do now?" Edward asked, tiredly.
I held up my index finger to him while slipping off my coat, hat, gloves, and scarf while I waited. Finally, I see his unruly hair peek out as his head leans out from his hiding place, the wall leading to the foyer.
"Yes, mommy…" he says, nervously.
I find it hilarious how his hair turned chocolatey brown, while still remaining as wild as his father's. He looks exactly like Edward, eyes and all, except for the hair color, there's no denying he is our son.
Sadly, he seems to have inherited my family's mannerisms, attitude, and… trouble-finding tendencies.
Yey me! Not.
"Charlie, why did I receive a call from your school informing you've been suspended from school until Wednesday?" I asked, exasperated. "Is there something you want to tell me, young man?" I asked, kneeling down to look him in the eye.
I already knew what happened, but I wanted his side of the story before I did anything.
Following the trip to the cabin, Alice and Rose, they were both pregnant. Due a few days apart. Henry Jackson Swan came nine months later, followed by his cousin Elijah Harrison Cullen.
But here's the kicker. A few months we went out to celebrate Rose's new job as a lawyer with our uncle, Marcus, and guess what…
We all found out, we were pregnant once more.
Sophia Rose Cullen came months later, followed by Alice's daughter Alexia Marie Cullen, and then Briar Rose Swan (Can you guess why?) While all three were notorious for being little princesses, loving all pink and glitter and the all girly crap, they could easily kick-ass, especially when angry.
"Well, Henry, Elijah and I were playing during recess and Jack started bothering Bri, Lexi, and Sophie." He explained, biting his lip, nervously.
"So, what happened?" I asked, my brow furrowing.
"Jack pulled on Lexi's hair." He replied, quietly.
Oh no, Charlie has always been protective of his little sister and cousins.
"What did you do then, Charlie?" Edward asked, quietly.
"... I tackled him to the ground and punched him in the face." He said, calmly, though his green eyes turned glassy.
"Charlie, look at me baby, if someone does something mean to you, doing something mean to them doesn't fix anything." I said, reaching towards him to pull his chin up to look at me. "You have to be the bigger person here, even if it means sometimes that you have to walk away." I add.
He sniffled quietly before nodding wordlessly.
"Hey, I'm not mad. How can I be when you were protecting your little sister? But remember, violence won't solve anything, if you get in trouble." I say, patting his shoulder before standing up.
"Okay…" he mumbled. "Can I go to my room now?" He asked.
I sighed, nodding in response before turning to look at my oldest kid. My husband.
"H-hi honey, how was your day at work?" He stuttered.
"Leah also said you had sighed the note she sent home, two days ago!" I added, as I slipped off my shoes.
"Oh…" he muttered gulping.
"How many times have I told you that you're going to hide things from me, to not get caught?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.
"Ok, I fucked up by not telling you but you gotta admit my boy is a scrapper." He said, smiling.
"I swear to God…" I muttered annoyed, as I walked towards our room.
"Babe, come on, you can't seriously be mad at—" he said before my baby girl came bounding into the room, and climbed onto the bed.
Of all the things to get from me it had to be stature. She had her daddy's bronze-colored hair, green eyes, yet looked like a miniature me. Poor girl never had a chance.
"Hi, baby." I say, sitting on the bed next to Edward.
"Hi, momma!" She greeted, crawling onto my lap.
Today, she opted to wear a blue, and purple tutu, and a purple sparkly shirt with a pair of blue leggings. Her hair in curls, as per usual. On her feet were a pair of sparkly doc martens. Personally decorated in sparkles by me and Alice.
"How was your day with Mawmaw Es and Nana Neé?" I asked, smoothing down her curls.
"It was fun, until Nana got the wrong haircut…" she said, whispering the last part to me, "She said she looked like a peanut with ears." She whispered giggling.
I snorted, shaking my head at her amused.
"What happened?" I asked, trying not to laugh.
"Well, MawMaw went to touch up her hair, I don't know what that means, it looked the same, while Nana got a haircut. She said that she wanted to get an A-line like Aunt Alice had but the lady cut it wrong so she got something called a pixie cut… she looks like a boy." Sophie said, wrinkling her little nose.
She was worried.
"It's ok, it'll grow back." I said, in an attempt to soothe her.
"Okay, I'm going to my room to watch Monster's Inc." She informed us, before hoping off of my lap, and walking out of the room.
"Did you ever think we would have the perfect family?" Edward asked me after I changed out of my work clothes and into my lounge pants and a t-shirt.
"No, but to be fair, I never really thought our family wasn't perfect." I said, as we laid in bed.
"Have you met our family?" He asked, surprised.
"Yes, and to be fair… I was scared to have kids." I told him.
"Why is that, love?" He asks, smiling.
"I didn't want them to become like us…" I said, tiredly.
"What do you mean?" He asked, confused.
"Crazy, brazen, and unafraid." I laugh, "Remember the prank we pulled on you guys when we went to the cabin?" I asked, giggling again.
"Pushing us into the lake while someone squealed wasn't funny." He snipped.
"It wasn't funny either when you picked us up the next day and threw us in." I pointed out.
"Hey, Stupid is as Stupid Does, besides it was Emmett's idea." He said, shrugging.
"Of course, it was. Of that I have no doubt, my love." I say, as he pulls me in for a kiss.
I wondered briefly if I should tell him we were going to have an addition to the family.
Nah, I'll think I'll wait to confirm it first.
The End.
