So I know I haven't updated in a while but my life has been pretty crazy anyway this is the next chapter hope you enjoy!
"so…" esme attempted at breaking the slightly awkward silence.
"he just turned two." Tanya announced proudly.
"two really? The agency found you a two year old?" Carlisle asked looking a little surprised.
Edward and I exchanged looks of annoyance. Why was Tanya like this? She always had to have the leg up on someone. Now she had gone and adopted a two year old boy just because we had decided to adopt. There was no way Tanya could be let out on something this big, she wanted the attention too. We had gotten the call two days ago. Tanya had phoned us saying that the whole Denali clan was coming to France for a little visit and to introduce their newest member to us. We had been shocked but what else could we do. Esme being the ever so gracious host had whole heartedly agreed to having them stay with us for a week.
"Yes. It's really hard for them to find families willing to take on children over the age of one. Most families want newborns. But when we saw little Andrew, we simply couldn't leave without him!" she recounted with flourish.
The thing that made me sick was that she was so fake! We all knew including her that she didn't truly want Andrew, she just wanted the attention that came along with him. I felt bad for the little guy.
"You know I heard that Demos Clan in Greece just recently adopted as well!" she continued.
"Oh." Esme commented politely though I saw the uncomfortableness in her eyes. She wasn't one to talk about babies being brought into unloving families so easily.
"Yes I believe it's just fabulous that we can do such things for children in need." Tanya went on. She was talking about adopting children as if it was the latest Hollywood craze, like she was just another starlet trying to get her name out there by doing something charitable.
"Yeah it's really great." Irena mumbled from her corner. I smiled sympathetically at her. She saw through her sisters bullshit and wasn't afraid to say something about it to her face. I'm sure the idea of a two year old human running around the house wasn't really a good one for Irena.
"We could so set them up on a playdate!" Kate squealed.
"Yes that does sound like a good idea." Tanya agreed.
"Tanya?" Carlisle started somberly cutting that bubbily atmosphere.
"Carlisle?" Tanya returned in the same tone.
"I hate to put a damper on all this cheerful talk, but have you thought about the voulturi at all?" he hedged. I clutched Edwards hand at the mention of their name, I was still pretty touchy about them.
"What do you mean Carlisle? Why would I have talked to them?" she asked shifting Andrew's weight on her lap.
"Well I'm just thinking that they might start to get a little agitated if so many vampires start adopting human children." There was a pause. I could feel jasper let loose a wave of calm.
"Oh." She began lamely, "I never thought of that. You don't think they would try anything would they? I mean it doesn't say anywhere that we can't adopt human babies."
"True but the Volturi don't always play fair. I just think it would be best if we kept a low profile." Carlisle suggested, but with the firmness of his voice it sounded a lot more like an order. She nodded and once again the room was filled with an uneasy silence.
"Anyone up for a hunt?" Emmett asked interrupting the silence with his booming voice. The room instantly lightened up. There were several choruses of yes.
"Bella, Edward, do you think you could stay behind and look after the babies? I only ask because I know you two hunted a few days ago." Carlisle whispered to us as the other started getting ready, Alice was already pulling Jasper into her room so that she could decided what hunting outfit would look best on him. Poor Jazz.
"Sure Carlisle." Edward answered for us. Carlisle nodded in approval and then set off to change out of his good pants, Esme wouldn't be happy if he ruined another good pair.
After everyone had gotten all their belongings together and had decided which national park would be the best hunting ground, they left leaving the house all to us.
"So…?" Edward began, walking towards me in an aggressive way that made me melt inside. "What shall will we do with this whole entire house to ourselves?" he asked grabbing my hips and pulling them to him. I giggled like a school girl.
"I don't know, what are you thinking of?" I asked coyly, he lowered his head so his lips were level with mine. I closed the distance between them and relished in the feeling of his kiss. He traced the outline of my lip with his tongue asking for entrance which I gladly gave him. I teased him with mine, and felt the rim of his teeth. His hand had just slipped up my top and was toying with the edge of my bra when a piercing scream filled the air. We both froze before quickly disentangling ourselves from one another.
"What was that?" he asked slightly panicked. I on the other hand knew exactly what was going on. I turned on my heals and rushed into Chloe's bedroom. There in her crib Chloe was bawling her eyes out as a stunned Andrew stood over her with her blanky in his hand.
"It wasn't me!" he cried looking as if he was about to burst into tears at any moment himself.
"Oh Andrew it's ok." I picked him up and slowly took the blanky out of his hands. "it's not your fault honey, she just doesn't like it when people touch her blanky." I explained to him. That seemed to calm him down a little bit, however Chloe was still shrieking in the background.
"Edward can you give this back to her?" I tossed the blanky to him, he caught it with one hand and went to take Chloe out from her crib. He bounced her up and down and she clutched the blanky for dear life. It was funny seeing Edward with a little crying baby in his arms, this was one situation that he didn't know how to handle, Chloe was kicking the crap out of him.
Suddenly out of know where Andrew started crying again. Now both Edward and I were holding unhappy babies and struggling to control the situation.
"What are we supposed to do? What's wrong with them?" he asked wide eyed. I almost laughed at how ridiculous this all was, we had finally gotten a moment alone and the babies had taken over!
"Nothing's wrong with them Edward, it's just what they do. They eat, sleep, poop and cry." I explained. He looked even more horrified then before. "What's wrong?" I asked.
"I just realized that we're going to have to change their dippers!" at this I burst into uncontrollable laughter. "It's not funny!" once I regained my composure I noticed that Chloe had a very concentrated look on her face.
"Oh good she stopped crying." Edward sounded so relieved, I felt bad for him.
"Edward she's not done crying, she's just taking a break so she can attend to some busyness." I told him. He looked at me perplexed until realization dawned on him.
"Oh God-" I nodded.
"Yup, she needs a dipper change." I informed him.
Well here is the second chapter again sorry for the delay! Please review!
