Emmett, Jasper, and I were playing pool in Emmett's basement. "So," Emmett said, "I was thinking."
"And this is where we run," Jasper said.
"No," Emmett said, "This is important."
"Let's hear this," I said.
He leaned over to take his shot. "Do you plan on marrying Bella?" he asked.
I stared at him. This was really what he thought of in his spare time? "I've thought about it," I said, "Why?" I stepped up to the table to take my shot.
"Wouldn't it be against the law or something?" he asked. As soon he said it I missed the ball I was trying to hit. I had never thought about that. Bella and I might not count each other as siblings, but by law we are. So Emmett's right, it is illegal.
I heard Jasper chuckle. "I guess you never thought about that," he said.
"No," I said, "I didn't."
"Do you want to marry Bella?" Jasper asked.
"Yes," I said.
"You need to find a way around this then," Emmett said.

I was lying on the couch reading a book, while Esme and Carlisle were watching TV. Edward was at Emmett's hanging out with the guys. He's only been gone for about 3 hours and I already miss him.
Then I heard the front door open and Edward walked in. "You're back early," Esme said.
"I know," he said. He leaned down to kiss me. "I want to talk to you guys about something." He lifted my feet and sat on the couch, resting my feet in his lap.
"What's on your mind, son?" Carlisle asked.
"I was thinking and if Bella and I are technically, by law, siblings," he said, "Then isn't it illegal for us to get married?"
I gasped. Is that something he's really thought about? Marrying me? "Is that something you want, Edward?" Esme asked, "To be married to Bella?"
"Yes," Edward said. Then he turned to me. "I don't mean I want to marry you right this second, but in the future I want to be married to you. I love you so much. You're it for me, Bella."
I felt a tear in my eye. "I love you too, Edward," I said.
"Now," Carlisle said, "If this is something you both want, we can find a way around it."
"It's what we want," I said
"What about this," Esme said, "When you turn 18, Edward, we'll go to the court house and give up our parental rights towards you. We all know the truth. Why does it matter what the law thinks?"
"That's a great idea," Edward said.
"But you have to remember that you will abide by our rules," Carlisle said.
"I know," Edward said.
"Then that's what we'll do," Esme said.
