Once again, thanks to my loyal reviewers Crivania, write321forever and 'no-one'. I hope you guys wont bash me too hard because of the month long absence.
I have struggled to write this chapter as other ideas have popped into my head all of which correspond to a younger Edward, so I might build those in as flashbacks. Also I now have the last immortal child on the go and that's taking a lot of thought.
Anyway if this is short sorry but I hope it will do. Ideas needed!!

Esme POV
I woke the kids up before advancing to the kitchen to make their breakfast and lunches for school. First to come down the stairs was Rosalie, looking as pristine as ever. I smiled as she flopped down at the table and poured a glass of orange juice for the both of us.
"Morning Sweetheart, did you sleep well?" O asked as I passed her the meal of chopped fruit with low fat yogurt. Rosalie had hit the 'figure concern' stage of being a teenager and both Carlisle and I were having trouble ensuring she was eating healthily and adequately whilst keeping her wishes and temper calm.
"Mmm thanks Mum. You know I had a really bad dream last night that the boys had taken all of Al's clothing. I never did get to see her reaction!"
I grinned heartily as I imagined my youngest daughter's reaction to that stunt and shuddered as I thought of the consequences for the boys.
A pair of arms encircled my waist and a 'good morning' was issued with a slightly clipped London accent. I turned to appraise my husband who had just returned from a night shift and was in the process of kissing our eldest daughter's head.
"Did you have a good shift?" I enquired as I passed him a muffin and a cup of coffee. He smiled as he received them and took a bite before responding.
"Mmmm, it was…." a scream erupted from upstairs and soon we were greeted with a naked Alice screaming profanities in the middle of the kitchen. Quickly Carlisle used his jacket to cover her up and ushered her upstairs, leaving me with a sniggering Rosalie and three very guilty boys.
"Care to explain?" I questioned them as they flushed and scuffed their feet. Upstairs I could still hear Carlisle calming a sniffling Alice in our bedroom. Obviously the clothes had not been found. I fixed the boys with a glare
"It's….prank week at school…"Edward began and bit his lip, but his emerald eyes danced in amusement.
"And you thought you'd start on your sister early? Well I suggest you return your sister's clothes and enjoy your week of being grounded. Now get ready before your late!"
The boys scurried off and amazingly everyone was ready by 7.45 to leave for school. I swear my children never grow up.

Bella POV
I threw my stuff into my locker and met Edward and the others. We al had the same classes and we all had pranks planned for the week. It was tradition that the last week of term was fun time, and this year was proving to be no exception.
"Hey Bells!" I heard Edward call me as I crossed into English. I smiled as I slipped quietly against him being careful not to trip. I smiled bravely plotting my first trick.
"what's got you so happy?" Edward asked whilst smirking.
"Nothing, just planning a little comeback for Lauren and Jessica." I replied innocently as we took our seats. The fore mentioned also took their seats and I smirked at Edward as I put the plan into action.
The girls had gone to their individual drawers and had each received a 'free make up bag'. what they didn't know was that was full of food colouring that would turn their lips and eyes a foul colour.
I scribbled my note on the paper and passed it to him. He grinned at me, and sneaked a look at the two girls who were now marvelling over the free present. As the teacher returned to the class, we settled down and awaited the results from this prank at lunchtime.

Unfortunately thanks to some senior's prank none of us managed to make it to lunchtime. We all headed out in class room change over, when a ear splitting scream of 'gun!' sounded.
Edward turned back around and wore a panicked expression on his face. I paused from going down the stairs to turn just in time to feel someone throw me out of the way as a stampede sounded throughout the corridor. I looked up in time to see the bundle of kids fall down the stairs, with Edward in the middle of it.
My breathing hitched and darkness took over.

Sorry it's short but it had to be for the story to flow properly. I'll update sooner I promise. I just needed a short break to think things through.
