***THE WONDERFUL STEPHENIE MEYER OWNS TWILIGHT. I JUST LIKE TO MAKE HER CHARACTERS DO NAUGHTY THINGS***

"Ok Allison, but don't you think you have tried on enough outfits baby girl?" I looked at my daughter, then I looked at her bed covered with different clothes of all kinds. She had been trying to select an outfit for her first day of Kindergarten for the past hour.

"Mommy, I shouldn't have to tell you, the right outfit is estenshull for a girl's first day of school." She turned around and looked at me while cocking her hip to the side and putting a hand on it. Then the little shit raised an eyebrow at me and rolled her eyes.

"Uh huh, and did Aunt Alice tell you that Sweetie? That the perfect outfit is essential?"

"Yes ma'am. She said I had to looks pwetty Mommy." From the doorway I heard the velvet voice of the love of my life.

"Well Allison Grace Cullen, you could wear a paper sack to school and still be the most beautiful girl in the world. Your Aunt Alice tends to overstate things. But listen to me little girl, I don't want to hear you talking to your Mommy with an attitude like that again. And I definitely do NOT want to see that eye roll one more time. Do you understand?" Apparently Daddy was privy to her attitude this morning.

"Yes sir Daddy. Sowwy Mommy." She ran over and hugged me before she launched herself into her Daddy's arms. He picked her up and swung her around, making her giggle loudly.

"Now, hurry up and get dressed so we can get you some breakfast and get to school for your first day." He swatted her on the butt and off she went to pick out her clothes. I had been putting a few outfits together on her bed while Edward was talking to her and she selected one of those while I put the others back in her closet. I swear, a five year old should never have a closet of this size. But when Alice Cullen-Whitlock is your aunt, well you really don't have a choice.

I left Ali in her room while I made my way to the nursery to check on our son. I looked down at him in his crib, sleeping like a complete angel and couldn't help the smile that framed my face. Masen Anthony Cullen had been a total surprise to Trooper Fuckhot and myself. I had begun to take the birth control shot after Ali was born and it was working well, or so we thought. We still aren't sure what happened. Masen is now six months old and is the perfect baby. While Allison got her Daddy's unruly mess of hair, texture and color with my brown eyes and nose freckles, Masen got my brown hair and Edward's deep emerald eyes. He got my creamy complexion and was going to break a lot of hearts one day. As I stared down at my son, a pair of strong arms went around my waist and I felt a nose nuzzling my neck, placing soft kisses there. I leaned back into the arms of my Edward. The man could still make my lady bits tingle with a simple touch.

"Mmm Mrs. Cullen, you smell edible. I think I'd like to taste you." He licked the shell of my ear and I nearly combusted right there in my son's nursery.

"Sorry Trooper, no tasting this morning. Let's go to our room so we don't wake up Mase." Edward looked down at his son and smiled while shaking his head in agreement. We made it to our room and I noticed that Edward was still wearing his uniform. He had worked the overnight shift and made it home in time to go with me when I took Ali to her first day of school. He was such a good father.

"Bella, can you believe our little girl is starting kindergarten?" He said to me while shaking his head. I went over to where he was and sat on his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck. He wrapped his around my hips and kissed my nose.

"I know. Before too long she's going to be going off to college." He smiled his crooked smile and I was lost.

"I'll say one thing Darlin', we make some damn adorable babies. I think we should make ten more."

"Uhhh whoa there cowboy. Slow your roll. If my hips get any wider I won't be able to fit through the door."

"Don't be silly sweetheart. You look amazing. Child bearing has done wonderful things to your already killer curves. You still make me feel like a fourteen year old boy most of the time, always walking around with a hard cock." He lifted his hips and I felt how true his statement was poking me in the butt."

"Damn baby, that thing is lethal."

"Only for you my love, only for you. You don't see yourself clearly do you Bella? You have always been the most beautiful creature in the world. Your body calls to me. You're like my own personal drug, made especially for me. I'm addicted to you." He began to nuzzle my neck and I felt my nipples pebble. Just as I let myself go a little and fell into his kiss, I heard a small huff of annoyance from our bedroom door. We broke apart and found little Miss Cullen standing again with the hands on the hips.

"If ya'll are done, I'd like some cereal pwease." She looked pointedly at us and arched her eyebrows. Neither Edward nor I could stop ourselves as we both broke out in laughter.

"Yes ma'am Miss Allison. What kind of cereal might you prefer this fine morning?" Edward asked her as he raised from the bed and went to her. She was a little spitfire for sure. Her personality always amazed us. She definitely had my attitude but usually all it took was the "daddy voice" from Edward or a stern look from him and she stepped right back in line. True, she did have him wrapped around her finger, but he still showed her that he was in charge and wouldn't be steam rolled by her. They went downstairs as I heard Masen waking up.

I finished getting dressed and got Masen dressed and ready and brought him downstairs to give him his breakfast. Edward had gotten Allison her favorite cereal and a glass of milk and she sat beside him eating and talking to her Daddy. He was having a cup of coffee and a bagel with cream cheese. They both looked up to see me and Mase and Edward smiled.

"There's Daddy's big boy!" Masen saw Edward and practically fell out of my arms when he reached his arms out towards Edward and said a loud DAAA, followed by a squeal. I took him to Edward and handed him off.

"Baby, I toasted you a bagel and got you some orange juice over here." He put Masen on his lap and I handed him his son's breakfast.

"Thanks Babe. You might want to put him in his high chair so he doesn't get your uniform dirty."

"Nah, no worries. It's dirty anyway." Edward had taken off his gun belt and other stuff and locked them in the safe away from the kids. I joined my little family at the table and together we had our breakfast while I opened up the mail. There was a letter addressed to both of us from an address somewhere in Chicago. The return address had the name VOLTURI. I raised a brow at Edward when I showed him and he just shrugged his shoulders. Curious now, I opened the envelope to find a card with a hand written letter inside. I opened it and gasped.

"Baby what is it?" Edward had put Masen in his high chair and come to stand behind me. Together we read the letter.

Edward and Bella:

I hope this finds you both well. I also hope you aren't upset with me for writing this and sending it to you. I know it's been several years, but I can't thank you enough, Edward, for taking the paternity test when I asked you to. This enabled me to focus myself on finding Alec so Kristen could know her father. Luckily I was successful and managed to find him after hiring a private investigator. We began talking and I introduced him to his daughter, with whom he fell instantly in love. He agreed to be in her life and after a period of time, we actually fell in love. We were married last month. Look, I know you both never wanted to hear from me, and after this I promise you won't ever have to deal with me again. Edward, I never fully apologized to you for hurting you so many years ago. I was a dumb little girl who didn't know a good thing when she had it. I've made so many mistakes in my life and hurting you was one of the worst. By the same token though, I can't regret being with Alec because then I wouldn't have Kristen. So I owe you and Bella a very big thank you for taking that test when I asked. I'm sorry for any inconvenience or hurt feelings I caused and only wish the very best for you both in the future. Again, my deepest thanks for everything.

Sincerely,

Tanya Denali-Volturi

"Well that was totally unexpected." I looked up at Edward as he walked back to his seat.

"Yeah, I guess so. I wonder why she felt the need to send that?" He furrowed his brow in confusion.

"Who knows baby. Maybe it was her way of letting go of the past and moving forward."

"Maybe so. Well, throw it away. I don't want it. She's said her peace and that's that." He was a little perturbed and I could understand why. Doing what he asked I wadded up the paper and tossed it in the trash. I thought it was nice of her to send it, but I was going to keep that to myself. Edward was not one to forgive and forget easily.

Well that was out of fucking left field. Tanya seemed to be the ex that never went away. Yeah, I know, maybe I'm being a little harsh. It seemed like she was just trying to clear her conscience. Regardless, I had a beautiful family that I loved more than my own life and she was a part of my past that I'd rather just forget. Really, I guess I should thank Alec too. If he hadn't slept with Tanya I may have made a mistake and married her. Then I would have never found my Bella. So maybe I should be sending that guy a thank you letter. I giggled at my internal monologue as my son abruptly threw a hand full of cheerios in my face.

"Masen Anthony Cullen…stop that now." He only looked at me and gave me a wide grin and blew a raspberry with his tongue. Bella and Ali couldn't contain their giggles.

"Oh! You two think that's funny huh? Very nice Bella. Teach your daughter that it's ok to laugh when Daddy gets food thrown at him. Very nice." I mocked pouting and she stuck her tongue out at me, while Masen blew me another raspberry.

"Ok everyone that's enough. We need to get going so little Miss can get to school on time. We can't have a Cullen be late for the first day. Ali run upstairs and get your backpack so we can go." Bella went into full on Mom mode and gave everyone their instructions. I cleaned off the table and ran upstairs to change quickly while Bella cleaned up Masen and secured his diaper bag. After ten minutes we piled into my truck and headed off to school.

We arrived at the elementary school and got everyone out of the truck. Bella was carrying Masen while I grabbed Allison's hand and we walked to her room. Her teacher was waiting at the door with a big smile on her face when we got there. She greeted us warmly and I liked her immediately.

"Well hello there sweetheart. I'm Mrs. Cope. What's your name?"

"My name is Allison Grace Cullen. This is my daddy Eward, he's a police man so he can arrest you. And this is my mommy Bewwa and she stays home and takes care of me and my baby brudder, Masen." Ali held out her hand to Mrs. Cope. "I'm pweased to meet you ma'am." I had to look away to stifle my giggles, Bella did the same. Allison had such a personality it was sometimes overwhelming, but before I could speak, Mrs. Cope responded.

"Well ok then! I'll make sure I don't do anything that would make your daddy need to arrest me." She looked up at me and smiled.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Cope. I'm Edward Cullen, this is my wife Bella. And this is Masen."

"It's nice to meet you all. Come on in, we'll get Allison all settled." Bella handed Masen over to me while she walked Ali to her desk. Ali took off her backpack and sat down at the desk like she owned the place. I hoped there would be no tears because when my little girl cried I tended to cry with her and you know, I had an image to maintain.

"Look Ali, Mrs. Cope has a page for you to color already." Bella smiled down at Ali and my heart clenched.

After about ten more minutes we hugged Ali goodbye and I noticed her chin start to quiver just a tad. Quickly I tried to distract her with the crayons. It seemed to work because she went back to coloring. Bella and I took this as our cue to leave. As we walked out the door, Bella made the quintessential mistake that every parent makes on their child's first day of Kindergarten. She looked back.

"Oh Edward, look at her. She's so brave." Tears had filled Bella's eyes.

"Don't cry sweetheart." I put my arm around her while I carried Masen with the other one. He was oblivious to everything because he had his pacifier firmly planted in his mouth. I could see his eyes getting heavy just as he turned to lay his head on my shoulder.

"Aww are you sleepy baby boy?" Bella rubbed his back gently. Quickly we made our way back to the truck and buckled Masen into his car seat. Once Bella handed him his blankie he fell fast asleep. I had to laugh at myself and my choice of words. There was a time several years back that I would have never imagined I would use the word blankie.

"So baby, what do we have going on today?" I glanced at her quickly out of the corner of my eye before returning my eyes to the road. Without missing a beat she replied with all the seriousness she could muster.

"Laundry."

"Oh baby, you have no idea how glad I will be to help you out with that. Laundry is my favorite household chore." I wiggled my eyebrows at her and drove a little faster than I should have back to the townhouse.

The rest of the day went by pretty quickly. After several "spin cycles" I fell asleep and dreamed about my beautiful wife. The events that led Bella to me were interesting to say the least. What started out as a lust fueled Friends with Benefits relationship had turned out to be the most beautiful thing in my life. We've had our struggles and heartache, but we've had our triumphs and most importantly we've been blessed with our two beautiful children. They are healthy and happy and our marriage is rock solid. I was a blessed man and was so thankful to the higher powers that I was chosen to take care of Bella, Allison, and Masen for the rest of my life.

A/N: Well there you have it folks. Our Trooper and his lady have built a beautiful life together.

I hope you will all put me on Author Alert as I have several stories that are unfinished and will be working on them now. Again, thank you for making Spin Cycle my best story to date. Smooches all the way around…..-Shannon (CullenSweetheart)
