"Baby," Edward whines.

"Your parents are downstairs!" I whisper-yell, laughing.

He rolls over and buries his face in the pillow. I lie on his back and kiss the ticklish spot on his neck.

He laughs and then rolls me off of him. "I'm going to meet up with Jasper. You'll be okay here?"

"Yeah, no worries," I try to smile.

His face softens. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"What if your mom doesn't like me?"

"Impossible. She'll love you, just like I do."

He hugs me, kisses me, and whispers sweet things in my ear before getting up and grabbing his wallet and keys.

"I won't be too long, okay? Call me if you need me."

I smile and tilt my head up for another kiss.

When he leaves, I sit on the bed for a few minutes before making my way downstairs.

Just as I hit the bottom step, I hear sniffling. I stop and look around the banister.

Mrs. Cullen is sitting at the dining room table with photo albums and loose pictures all around her.

I bite my lip and decide to take the plunge.

"Mrs. Cullen?" I call out, tentative.

She wipes her face quickly. "Isabella, hi."

"Are you okay?"

"Oh," she waves her hand around. "Yes, I'm just being sentimental," she smiles.

She picks up a picture and holds it out to me.

"This is Edward at his second birthday party. He was so excited that all he did was jump and scream all day. I really wanted to give him a dose of Benadryl so he'd be quiet for a few minutes."

I can't help but giggle at the thought. In my mind he's like a chihuahua with ADD.

Esme lets out a loud peal of laughter and hands me another photo.

In this one, Edward and Jasper are dressed up like members of Motley Crüe; complete with eye liner. They are posing against an old car in the garage.

I can't help but laugh. "Who took the picture?"

"Carlisle probably. He loves hair bands. It's his fault Edward has terrible taste in music."

"Who has bad taste in music?"

Edward and Jasper walk into the dining room and they both groan at the same time, "Mommmmm..."

This makes Mrs. Cullen laugh louder and she hands me another photo. I almost fall over when I see this one.

They both look like Duckie from Pretty in Pink.

I cannot stop laughing.

Edward snatches it out of my hand.

"Were you guys re-enacting the 80's?" I ask between giggles.

Edward looks at Jasper and Jasper narrows his eyes and before I know what's happening, they break into Otis Redding's Try a Little Tenderness.

Mrs. Cullen and I are holding on to one another because we can't stop laughing.

When Jasper and Edward finish the song, they high five and bow.

What they didn't expect is to find Mr. Cullen recording them with his cell phone camera.

Priceless.
