Someone reviewed the last chapter and said they would want to se a Brianna, Carlisle, and Esme little scene. I thought it was a good idea. So I'm going to put that.

So Ocgirlygirl thank you!

Brianna POV

Everyone is saying how they hate to have Carlisle as a step-dad. I'm looking forward to is. Cassie is always complaining and saying we're fine the way our family is. Edward thinks our family doesn't need more parentals and he's fine taking the man of the house role, since Emmett is more immature than I am. And that's saying something.

But today I'm getting to know him. Mom wanted me to go with her and Carlisle so I followed, like I'm supposed to.

"So Brianna do you like school?" Carlisle asked. I looked to him and blinked. He just looked at me softly and just waited for me to answer.

"Yeah, school's good. I'm in honors English and have a lot of friends. I'm pretty popular" I said and Mom glanced at me.

"Oh, what are your interests?" he asked.

"I like to write. I like English, I wanted to be a author when I grow up. Or an actress. Either one is fine with me." I said and shivered. It was freaking freezing out here!

"Are you cold?" he asked. I nodded and he took off his regular solid colored maroon shirt and handed it to me. he was wearing a white tank underneath. And damn he has abs!

"Aren't you going to be cold?" I asked. I mean it was soo cold out here he would freeze his ass off! Mom smiled at him and then at me. I slipped on the shirt and tired it in the back since it was pretty big, but not that much.

"I'm fine. And you're going to get sick in that…outfit" he said. I blew out of my mouth.

"Why did you dress like that?" He asked. Mom got a curious look.

"Yes Brianna, why?" she asked.

"I'd rather not say. It's embarrassing" I answered.

"Were you trying to impress the boys here?" Mom asked.

"No it's something else. Far from that actually" I answered. This is so embarrassing!

"C'mon, tell me" Mom said.

"You're going to hate me" I whispered.

"I could never hate you" they both answered. I stared shocked at Carlisle. Of course mom would say that. She loves me. She's my mom! But Carlisle I didn't know.

"I was thinking that you wouldn't like me or my family if I dressed like this because I didn't want you marrying my mother. And I didn't want you as my father Edward would be man of the house again. Because…because… ok. I didn't want to see mom with another man. My brother's are good enough for me, my sisters, and mother. They protect us like no end. And I felt it Carlisle came in the equation then they stop. And I don't want them to. They're my brothers, I love them. I love it when they protect me, embarrassing me in the process of doing so. I didn't want to lose my mother either. But I'm fine with it" I said. I looked to Carlisle's thoughtful face and Mom stared at the ground.

"I didn't know you felt like that Brianna" she said.

"It was stupid. And crappy. I wish I never done it. I wish I was in my sneakers, jeans, and Edward's shirt" I laughed. She cracked a smile. She knew how much I loved wearing his shirts and my other brother's shirts.

"So do you think you can let me in?" Carlisle asked.

Carlisle isn't what I thought he would be like. He felt like my daddy. But it would take me a while to get used to it.

"Well, duh!" I said and he gave me a hug which I returned. And I loved it.

All those things Edward told me as a child when my father left us, was nasty cruel things. He said he and my brothers were good enough to fit the fatherly role, and in many ways they did. Yet they also stayed as my retarded, ass of brothers. I wouldn't have any other way though.

So the point is. Edward was wrong. Some step-fathers are great. Like Carlisle.

But then again, it is Edward we're talking about.

EPOV

Well, house hunting was a sure epic failure. It was like trying to put toothpaste and orange juice together. My family orange juice, well cuz I like oranges, and the Cullens toothpaste, cuz…they're clean! Yeah clean! Anyway, we did act like whores and talk like gangsters. Now we're grounded.

But hey! At least we got a house of it!

"Kids! I'm going out! Please behave! And drop every one of your phones in this bag right now!" mom called. We all groaned. I grinned and took my old cell phone and took it with me, putting my real one in my pants.

"Here mom" I smiled.

"Edward, usually you're kicking and screaming. Hm, you matured. Finally" she smiled. Hehe, if she knew…

"Yes mother I have" I smiled.

"Ok stop that" she said and pushed me back to the living room.

"I'm leaving" mom said and left.

"Give it!" I heard Sean scream to Brianna. She ran upstairs. Sister like Brother. She copied me.

"Edward!" Alice hissed. I smiled and waved like an idiot. She tackled me and I roled away until she jumped on me. Her hips on my hips. Her legs on either side of me, and she held my arms to the ground with her feet. I could see down her shirt from how low it was. This is not a position a brother wants to be put in by his sister. She smirked and I had my phone in my pants.

"Ha! I can get it!" she smiled. I grimaced. I was being felt my by sister.

"That's not the only thing you're getting" I said. She screamed and jumped up.

"Bri! Give me the phone!" I heard Sean scream to Brianna laugh. I heard a flump on the stairs and now Alice was on my shoulders only wearing boy shorts and my over sized shirt she tied at the side. I saw Brianna in shorts and a shirt that said 'DICKS', and she was on Sean's back speed texting and Sean rested his head on my propped elbow. He looked bored and defeated. Brianna sat on the middle of his back txting and her legs were on either side and she was leaning forward almost her chest resting on his back. I felt sorry for him.

"Cassidey!" Trevor yelled and Cassie came and hid behind me.

"Ed move" Trevor said. Cassidey yelled nothing and jumped into Ryan's arms.

"Whoa" Ryan yelled as Cassidey jumped. She held onto him since Trevor was older and had a big build. Of course he would never hurt her, she was just intimidated. Trev would never dream or even think to hit a woman, girl, infant, ok you get the point. A girl. But anyway, Cassidey held on to Ryan.

"Give me my fucking iPod back" he said. Cassidey stuck her tongue out and typed furiously on the iPod. Ah, so he had the texting App.

"Caitlin! Get down from the chandelier!" Emmett screamed and Caitlin leaped onto the chandelier and started swinging.

"Help?!" I yelled and we all started yelling at each other. Me for Alice to get the hell off me, Emmett towards Caitlin to get off the damn chandelier, Trevor to Cassidey for his iPod back, Sean to Bri for his phone back, Ryan to Cassidey to get off him, and James to all of us to shut the fuck up.

"What in the world is going on here?!" Carlisle boomed. Oh shit.

So here we are. Alice on my shoulders screaming her lungs out, her face read, I'm swatting at her to get the hell off of me, Emmett screaming for Caitlin to get down, Caitlin was on the chandelier swinging like a trapeze artist and let's just say the ceiling is very high up, Trevor was towering over Cassidey and yelling at her to give him is iPod back, Cassidey was in Ryan's arms looking freaked out and pissed off her face red, Ryan yelling at Trevor to stop yelling in his ear and at Cassidey to get the hell off of him, Brianna was on Sean's back and on his phone her legs on either side of him, Sean was yelling at her to get off while looking defeated at the same time, and James yelling 'Shut the fuck up!' while spray painting the stairs different colors.

"Um…" Emmett said stupidly.

"Anyone care to explain?" he asked his kids jogging up behind him, their eyes wide. I looked to Bella whose jaw was at the floor.

"This isn't what it looks like" I said. Alice folded her arms on my head, I could imagine her pouting.

"Ok, first thing is first. I came over to be with Esme and give you kids bonding time and help packing up her studio. Now will you listen to me" he asked.

"Since you're in our house, be prepared to repeat things" James said and put the cloth back over his mouth.

"Young man! That it toxic fumes your exposing to your siblings and your mother will not appreciate it!" Carlisle said and took the can and cloth out of James' hands.

"What the fuck dude?!" he asked. Carlisle's kids gasped.

"No, 'dude'. Now you will talk like a regular young adult" Carlisle said. Oh shit, James wasn't having that. I can see the steam coming off of James as he stomped up the stairs and slammed his room door. Wow. He didn't explode!

"Yay! James didn't explode! Good job!" Emmett yelled up. James opened his door to how his hand and gave him the finger then closed his door. The Cullen's eyes widened again as my family laughed.

"No, Alice get off Edmund's shoulders. Cassidey get off the chandelier. How did you get up there?! Can you get down?!" Carlisle asked worriedly.

"First off, it's Caitlin. And no duh, I can down" she rolled her eyes and still didn't get off.

"Alice get off Edmund's shoulders. Brianna, get off Ryan's back and I thought you guys were grounded from phones. Cassidey I think you should get out of Trevor's arms and I presume that is his MP3 player. Give it back. Everyone calm down and sit down" he said. Cassidey got out of Ryan's arms, Bri off Sean, Trev got his iPod back, Alice got on my shoulders and jumped off which hurt like a bitch, and we all sat down.

"It's Edward. And yes that is Brianna who was on Sean's back. Cassidey was in Ryan's arms and took Trevor's iPod." I explained. He got our names wrong!

Everyone got situated minus Caitlin who was still on the chandelier.

"Um, Daddy, Cassidey is still on the chandelier" Vicky said. Carlisle sighed and Caitlin pouted and jumped down, she did a somersault in the air and landed on her feet and held her arms out like a gymnast smiling. My siblings whooped, hollered, and applauded. The Cullens just gaped.

"See?! I could get off" Caitlin said and crossed her arms. That's my sister for ya! All of a sudden we heard a crack and the chandelier fell. It was attached the ceiling by a cord and that broke. The chandelier came crashing down and I pushed my sisters out of the way and Caitlin held onto my arm for dear life.

"I thought I was gonna die like Lisa in Obsessed!" she said. I rubbed her back as she calmed down. (A/N Great movie!! You should watch it)

There as a smashed crystal chandelier in the middle of the living room.

"CAITLIN COURTNEY PLATT!" I heard a familiar voice shriek. My siblings turned out heads slowly and met a red face.

Mom.

Oh shit.


*Yours, Mine, and Ours*

So here we were. Cleaning the house with the Cullens beady eyes staring at us. Carlisle held mom's waist as she watched us. James got the paint and painted the stairs. Cassidey washed windows, I was cleaning the downstairs bathroom, the boys cleaned the backyard up, and Emmett the front yard, Brianna cleaned the girls' bathroom, Ryan cleaned the boys', and Caitlin picked up the shattered crystal while crying.

"I'm sorry mom" Caitlin whispered. Mom got out of Carlisle's arms and hugged Caitlin while smoothing her hair.

"It's ok honey, it was an accident. I know" she whispered back.

"So, why did you punish them too?" she asked.

"They trashed the house, and acted like they were raised by a pack of wolves" Mom said.

"What did I do again?!" she asked. We all looked at her. Is she retarded?!

"You broke the damn chandelier!"

Just a thought. I thought of it during GYM when we were testing. It was very random.
