Chapter 5
When the last of the guests left, the family, and the Denali's were left to sort out the rooms. "I believe we'll have a little bit of trouble with the room arrangements." Said Esme, the wheels turning in her head.
"I call the couch!" exclaimed Bella before anyone else could. Everyone stared at her incredulously. "What? It's comfy." She shrugged.
"Okay, okay. So Bella's taking the couch. So that would leave us with Emmett and Rosalie sharing the guest bedroom. Jasper and Edward will share Edward's old room and I'm sorry to separate you Alice, but you should share your old room with Tanya and Kate." Esme apologized; it wasn't that they didn't know what their kids were up to these days, but she couldn't leave one of the other guests uncomfortable.
Esme and Carlisle watched the kids disappear up the stairs. Emmett and Rosalie walking hand-by-hand, Alice chatting animatedly with Bella, Jasper exchanging pleasantries with Kate, such a charming man he was, and trailing last was the infamous Edward with his arm around Tanya, whispering in her ear. Esme sighed, would her kid ever change?
She walked with her husband, turning off all the lights in the house except the ones from her gigantic Christmas tree. She was tired, and the house was more than a mess, but early tomorrow the cleaning service would be here and she wouldn't have to take care of anything else.
Her only work for tomorrow was to organize the real family dinner; the one shared with "the kids" and apparently now Tanya and Kate, her husband and herself.
;) better late than never :P
So what kind of chaos is going on in YOUR pre-christmas preparations?
I'll tell you mine: I kinda, sorta, lost my flight today... :'( I'll probably have a meltdown in a few seconds xD
