Chapter 8

Esme POV

I had gotten all the shopping done and knew the kid would be home soon. So I stared cooking diner. After our newest four additions came to our family we started cooking dinner and having it together as a family.

At first it didn't go so well because my older children didn't eat but then my husband suggested that every time we hunt we bring back some animal blood at store it in the fridge so when we all sat down to dinner we all would be eating.

Rosalie didn't like this idea she thought it pointless.

Carlisle had explained that this would give us time each day to talk about everything and now that there were so many of us we needed to spend more time working together.

Ever since I was a little girl I had always wanted to be a mother and now I was a mother of nine. I thought to myself as I cooked. Just then my wonderful husband walked in.

"you are really getting good at cooking sweetie." He said as he kissed my cheek. I was about to tell him years of practice helped when the front door slammed. "I swear if they break this door I'm going to break them." I muttered.

EJ walked into the kitchen with a look on his face that told me not to ask. "So how was school?" Carlisle asked him just then one of my good pans flew across the room and blew up. "Hey kid calm down" EJ hadn't lost control like this since Emmett dyed Leah's hair hot pink.

"You want to tell us about it?" He asked but before EJ could say a word Alice popped in and said we all need to talk in the dining room now. When we got to the dining room all my children were already there waiting.

"So does anyone want to tell us what happened today? You all look like the world just ended and EJ is blowing up good dishes again." My husband asked after a long pause. Jacob stood up and cleared his throat.

"Well today was going good until lunch." O great I thought Leah punched someone again we were moving. Edward looked at me "I WISH" he said with a hiss. Elizabeth giggled she loved the fact that she was always in on the private conversations that left everyone confused.

"Well as I was saying at lunch there was this girl. Edward noticed her first but just the sight of her had all of our attention. Her name is Bella Fox and she is the spitting image of our Bella." I grabbed the table.

Had our Bella finally returned to us? This was impossible we had buried her over a hundred years ago. It seemed like everyone now wanted to talk at once.

"One at a time please" Carlisle said. "I don't care what she looks like she's not my mom." EJ spat out as a vase near him shattered. Jasper moved to the seat next to him to try and keep him calm before he blew up the whole house. Thank you I mouthed to jasper

"Edward, Jacob what do you to think you knew her the best what can you make out of this?" Edward stood up and started to leave the room.

Emmett blocked his path as Edward hissed at him. "Let him go Emmett." Rosalie said and Emmett stood aside.

"I don't know Carlisle she looks like bells but something is different. I wouldn't know anymore unless I talked to her." Alice looked like she was about to bounce right out of her seat.

"I'll say this she sure smells like Bella." She said

"yeah but dad can read this girls mind and he could never do that with mom he said." Elizabeth butted in.

"Well we'll have to look into this girl a little more and see if we can figure this out." Carlisle said in his best diplomatic voice. It seemed to satisfy everyone.

I really wanted to know what Edward thought we should do but I was guessing that he was long gone by now.
