The Cullen's
"Ok, Emmett. I'm sure that they will love you but just to make sure don't do anything stupid. Esme I know will welcome you with open arms and Carlisle as well. Edward's a little stubborn though so try to do whatever you can to get on his good side. And you have to change clothes really fast." I instructed Emmett.
"Um ok be nice to Edward, be polite to Carlisle, and what do I do with Esme?" Emmett asked me while digging through his new bag of clothes looking for a clean shirt.
"Just say 'Hi I'm Emmett and you must be Esme.' And just smile at her a bunch and you should be good." I told him. This should be pretty easy I thought. "Ok throw your old shirt in that bin over there" I pointed it out "and then follow me."
He then threw the totally ruined shirt in the dirty clothes bin and followed me upstairs to the dining room.
Carlisle and Esme were waiting at the two end seats while Edward was leaning against the wall with a frustrated expression. I stuck my tongue out at him and walked Emmett to the two seats next to Carlisle and Esme. Edward then dragged himself to sit down on the other side of the table and folded his arms across his chest. Emmett stifled a laugh.
"Hello." Esme greeted Emmett. "You must be Emmett right?"
"Yea urn I mean yes I am Emmett and you must be Esme." I grinned that he remembered what I told him to say to Esme. Edward just 'hmphed' and sunk deeper down in the chair.
"Hi Emmett. It's a pleasure to meet you." Carlisle greeted Emmett with a shake of his hand.
"Nice to meet you to. And you must be… Carlisle am I right?" Emmett asked.
"Yep that's me." Carlisle answered.
"Ok just making sure I know everyone's name right." Emmett confirmed.
"Hi." Edward said with a rude tone to his voice.
BE NICE TO HIM, EDWARD IT'S HIS FIRST DAY HERE AND YOU'RE ALREADY BEING A PAIN IN THE ASS! I hissed at Edward in my thoughts. He just growled at me and continued talking to Emmett.
"So Rosalie here said that you were being attacked by a bear. Couldn't you just try to fight back? They really aren't that strong you know."
"Well you know what Edward-''I commented but Carlisle cut me off.
"Why don't we learn more about each other than to fight." I hated Edward sometimes. Why did he have to be so grouchy all the time??
Edward smiled at me darkly at my thoughts. Stupid head. I thought. His smile turned to a glare and my glare turned to a smile.
"I was actually born in New Jersey, Carlisle. My mom and dad were both in the pharmacy business and I used to help my friend with his parents' business; which was the farming business.
"I remember his name was John Keyer and I remember that he was a huge troublemaker. His parents wanted him to do better than they did but John just said he liked the animals to much to do something else.
"He was always like I said a trouble maker but he had a good heart. I remember the day that I went to his funeral." A sad look crossed his face.
"How did he die?" Carlisle asked; interested in Emmett's story.
"He was working out in the field one day. They have automatic wood cutters where you have to jab the wood in through one end and it comes out chopped in pieces on the other end." Emmett said. Edward then reading Emmett's thoughts –pulled out a sad face and I could tell he meant it. Good boy. I thought. Then his nice face turned once again slowly to glare at me. I stifled a sticking-of-the-tongue-out.
"So he was working on this machine when the thing gets jammed. He reaches his hand in there when he thinks its off and it electrocutes him. I came back from fishing and saw him lying on the floor dead." Esme covered her mouth with her hand in horror.
"That's awful!" She exclaimed and walked over to hug Emmett. He just beamed and hugged her back.
Edward just had to ruin the mood with a throat clearing.
"Well Im sorry to say Emmett but Carlisle and I have to go hunting." Esme said. "I would love to talk more later if that's ok."
He beamed. "I would love that, Esme." Emmett exclaimed.
"Nice meeting you Emmett." Carlisle said standing up and offering his hand.
"My pleasure." Emmett said shaking the offer.
"Come on Emmett." I said taking his hand and leading him from the living room towards the 'kitchen'.
In the end Edward was sitting at the table still frustrated that now he was not the only male child in the Cullen family. I laughed and Emmett looked at me with one of those what's-so-funny? expressions.
"That went great." I told him once we were in the kitchen.
"Yay now I can be in the Cullen family!" he said excitedly.
I laughed and towed him out of the kitchen to the garage where we held the super fast cars.
