Chapter 16: Chuck E. Cheese and Thanksgiving

EPOV

Once we got back to school, everything went back to our normal college routine. Classes, homework, study, sleep, repeat. The only difference was Bella was completely avoiding me. I saw her from time to time, but when she saw me, she would try to hide or just walk away. She had gotten good at the whole avoidance thing in the past few weeks.

I figured she was either embarrassed by waking up naked next to me without a single recollection of what had happened, which I was bummed by not being able to remember but definitely was not embarrassed by it. Bella a beautiful women, I couldn't deny that. And I had woken up to much, much worse.

On the other hand, the other reason she was avoiding me could be that she was still angry about the bet. I understood her being upset about it at first, but damn get over it.

I couldn't care less about making another bet. Tyler had asked me to make a bet against him since Emmett and Jasper were no longer in the game. According to Emmett and Jasper, they had found 'the one' and weren't interested in the bets anymore. As much as I was never a one women kind of guy, I was happy for them. I really like Rosalie and Alice and there prefect for Emmett and Jasper.

I declined Tyler's offer. I knew I could crush him quickly in a bet, but I just wasn't interested. I wanted to focus on my music, and after all the head games between Bella and me, I was exhausted.

I was sitting at my desk working on sheet music for a piano solo when my phone rang.

"Hello?" I asked after looking at the screen and seeing it was a call from home.

"Hi, honey. How are you?"

"Hi, mom. I'm doing pretty good. What's up?"

"I was calling about Thanksgiving." She said. Thanksgiving break was in a few days and we were planning on going home for the weekend.

"We are going to be in Thanksgiving morning and stay through the weekend." I confirmed.

"That is what I wanted to talk to you about. The whole family is coming and we are having a birthday party for Bree and Riley on Tuesday so we were wondering if you could come for the whole week?"

"It's fine with me, mom. I have nothing else to do." I laughed. "But Emmett and Jasper said they were going home with Rosalie and Alice for the first half of break then going home for Thanksgiving."

"I already talked to them. They are all coming here then going home with the girls after we have dinner on Thursday. You are the only one I still had to talk to."

"Oh, okay. Well, count me in." I smiled at her cheer.

"Great! I can't wait to see you six in a couple of days."

"Six?" I questioned.

"Yes. Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, you, and Bella."

"Bella?"

"Yes, Bella too. Oh, did I forget to tell you? Charlie and Renee are going to be here!" She squealed so loud with excitement that I had to pull the phone away from my ear.

"Geeze, mom. Make me deaf." I chuckled.

"I'm sorry. I'm just so excited to have my best friends back. And to think your father and I are best friends with Charlie and Renee and now our kids are best friends with there child."

"Yup, just the best." I sighed. If being friends consisted of mind games and mentally hurting each other, then we were as close as two people could get.

"Well, I need to go help plan the birthday party. I can't wait to see you all. I love you, sweetie."

"I love you too, mom. See ya' in a few days." I said then ended the call.

I laughed at the thought of how Bella was going to have a hard time avoiding me in my own home. I had the mantra stuck in my head 'you can run but you can't hide'.

I waited to leave until Monday morning because I had a music workshop over the weekend and everyone decided to wait for me. I woke up early in the morning and took my bags down to the car to find I had flat tire. I threw my bags in the trunk, drove Emmett's jeep into town, and got a new tire.

"What are you doing?" Emmett laughed as I struggled to get the tire off.

"I can't get this nut off." I answered.

"That's what…"

"I swear to god if you finish that sentence I will bash you in the face with this tire iron." I fumed.

"Hey, what's going on guys?" Bella asked as she walked up to the car.

"Poor Eddie boy can't get his nut off." Emmett chuckled.

"That's what she said." Bella laughed.

"OOH! Bash her, Edward. Bash her in the face!" Emmett laughed.

I rolled my eyes at Emmett as Bella just raised an eyebrow in question. Emmett was a real idiot sometimes.

"Am I riding with you, Emmett?" Bella asked looking up at him. I didn't miss the fact that she hadn't looked at me once since she walked up to us.

"Why don't you ride with Edward?" Alice said as she bounced over to us pulling Jasper behind her. "Then he won't have to drive back alone."

"You're not taking your rusted out piece of crap?" I chuckled.

Bella's eyes finally landed on me warily as she said, "No, I'm letting Jake take it home to spend thanksgiving with his dad."

"Haven't you ever been told, friends don't let friends drive moving death traps?" I laughed. I found it funny but apparently, she didn't because she growled as she walked away.

The ride home was a quiet one, well not really quiet since every time I tried to talk to Bella she would turn the radio up. Therefore, it was quiet in the sense of there was no talking. I still didn't know what her problem was with me, but oh well, she would either get over it and come around or not.

My mother was ecstatic when we got there. She acted as if she hadn't seen us in years. Bella had to share my room again since her parents were in the guest room and she didn't want to share a room with Emmett and Rose or Jasper and Alice. I didn't feel completely comfortable sharing a room with her while her gun-toting cop of a dad was in the house.

"When is the birthday party tomorrow?" I asked Esme as we all sat around the dinning room table for dinner.

"It's at noon." She answered. "Everyone should be here sometime tonight. There staying in a hotel in town."

"Is the party here?" Emmett asked.

"No. And I want you to be on your best behavior, Emmett."

"I am always on my best behavior." He said hold his hand over his chest to show she had hurt his feelings. "So, where is the party at?"

Esme mumbled the answer and no one understood what the hell she said.

"Huh?" Everyone said in unison.

"Chuck E. Cheese. The party is at Chuck E. Cheese." She sighed.

Emmett immediately dropped his fork and started bouncing in seat becoming very excited.

"Calm down." Rose said putting her hand on his shoulder. "What is wrong with you?"

"Oh my god Rose! I love Chucky E. Cheese. It is one of the coolest places in the world. It's only one-step down from Disney World. Aren't you excited?"

"Emmett, it's a place for little kids."

"Exactly!" He practically shouted. "All the best places are designed for kids."

"Grow up, Emmett." Esme said. "And you better behave or you won't be going." She warned. He tried holding still but was still sporting the hugest grin.

I was almost as excited was Emmett was; just I knew how to hide it better. I looked to Jasper to see he had a mischievous smile on his face. Take Jasper, Emmett, and I add little kids and a ball pit and you had an instant party.

BPOV

Edward had tried to question me about why I was avoiding him, but I avoided that topic as much as possible. I was avoiding him; it was pretty obvious to everyone. Ever since the day I realized that I had missed a whole weekends worth of birth control, I couldn't even look at him.

I didn't even want to begin to think about what that could possibly mean. Moreover, it was definitely not a subject I wanted to broach with Edward. 'Hey Edward, guess what? We got drunk maybe had sex, I didn't take birth control and there's a slight chance you could be a daddy soon.' Yup not a conversation I wanted to have with him…ever.

Therefore, I did the best thing I could think of, I avoided him.

The sleeping arrangements were annoying. I had to sleep in Edward's bedroom with him unless I wanted to sleep in the living room. I was contemplating it while I made my way to Edward's room after dinner. I walked into the room to hear his shower running. I quickly stripped off my clothes, replacing them with my nightclothes, a pair of shorts and a tank top. I pulled a blanket and a pillow off of Edward's bed, crawled onto his couch, and faced the back.

When Edward came out I could feel him standing over top of me, but I pretended to be sleeping. I fell asleep a short time after he had turned the lights off and crawled into bed.

I woke up in the morning much more comfortable then when I had gone to sleep. I stretched and rolled over. Once I realized that I hadn't landed on the floor like I should have I opened my eyes to see that I was no longer on the couch, I was on the bed. I looked over to the couch to see Edward stretching awake.

"How did I get over here?" I asked.

"I moved you."

"But I heard you go to sleep."

"Yeah, you're not a very good actress. I knew you were awake when I got out of the shower." He said. "I waited until you were sleeping then I moved you. You're a guest you should have the bed."

"Oh, um…thanks."

After we got dressed and went downstairs, Esme had a huge breakfast made up for everybody. Esme was not pleased with the way Emmett was eating. He was filling his mouth so fast I was surprised he could breathe. He was telling everyone to eat faster so that we could leave for the birthday party.

Carlisle, Esme, Charlie, and Renee, all left after breakfast telling us to meet them at Chucky E. Cheese in a few hours. Personally, I think it was just to annoy Emmett, and it worked well.

We all piled into Emmett's jeep and sped the whole way there. Sometimes it's the biggest men that are the biggest kids. Once we got there the guys all jumped out of the jeep, I'm surprised they let it stop first, and ran for the front of the building.

We walked in slowly behind them. It was almost empty; I have always heard this place was like a zoo with as many kids that are in here at one time. We walked over to Esme and Renee, who were standing with a couple near the present table.

"Oh, girls." Esme said as we walked up to her. "This is Demetri and Heidi. They are some of our cousins. Demetri, Heidi, this is Alice, Rosalie, and Bella. There my boys' girlfriends." My eyes got huge as she introduced me as one of the girlfriends. I didn't know what gave them that impression, but I knew I had to fix that soon.

"It is very nice to meet you ladies." Demetri said as he shook all of our hands. "None of us thought we would see the day when someone was able to tame Jasper, Emmett, and Edward."

"They didn't stand a chance against us." Rose laughed. There was no taming being done on my part damn it.

We walked around while Alice and Rosalie were looking for the guys. We stopped when we saw Jasper and Emmett doing belly flops into a ball pit. We were laughing at them until I saw Edward standing across the room. He was standing with his arm draped across the shoulders of a tall, gorgeous, blonde woman, who was leaning into him. His other hand was rubbing circles on her stomach as she talked into his ear.

I was feeling…jealousy? Until suddenly I was pulled out of my staring fit by a little hand tugging on my shirt. I looked down to see the cutest little girl with blonde curls and blue eyes looking up at me.

"Hi, there." I said in my best kid friendly voice.

"Did you bring me a present?" She asked looking hopeful.

"Are you the birthday girl?" I asked bending down to her level.

She nodded enthusiastically. "Then yes I did." I said and she got very excited.

"How old are you?" I asked.

She held up one hand and said, "I am five. I am a whole hand now. How old are you?"

"I am almost four whole hands." I answered.

"Wow. That. Is. Old."

Suddenly the little girl was lifted off the ground. I watched as Edward spun her in a circle and kissed her cheek, which she wiped off.

"Did you meet my friend Bella?" He asked her.

"She was just telling me how I was old." I laughed.

"Oh, yeah. I can see the grey hair already." He said seriously, as he looked at my hair.

"I do not." I said running my hands nervously through my hair.

Edward laughed as he set the little girl down next to a little boy with the same blonde hair and blue eyes. "Guys this Bella. Bella this is Bree, and Riley."

I smiled down at them as they noticed Emmett and Jasper in the ball pit and ran off to join them.

"Bella, this is Kate and Garret. They are Bree and Riley's parents." Edward introduced the couple that walked up to us.

"It's nice to meet you." I said shaking there hands. "Your kids are adorable."

"Thank you. I put forth my best effort." Garret laughed.

"I'm sure you did." I laughed nervously not knowing what to say.

They laughed and walked off to watch Emmett and Jasper throwing there kids in the ball pit.

"They're our cousins." Edward said.

"Mmm." I said. "Was that your girlfriend?" I blurted. Fuckin' useless brain to mouth filter.

"Who?" Edward asked looking around.

"The blonde you were cozying up to."

"Who, Tanya?" He asked with amusement. "Aww, are you jealous?"

"What? No." I lied. "It would have been nice to know you had a girlfriend. I mean you could have told me, oh I don't know, maybe…while I had your dick in my mouth."

Edward choked on his drink he was drinking and laughed. "Easy there kitten." He said while he wiped the soda off his chin. "First off you're so cute when you're jealous. And second, Tanya is my cousin. That big guy that is rubbing her stomach and sucking on her neck is her husband. She was telling me what it was like being pregnant. Not that I would ever personally know."

I laughed nervously, "Yeah, like you would ever know. How weird is that? Only girls can get pregnant. Guys can't. Wrong parts." I rambled stupidly.

"Yeah, um…okay. Awkward. I'm going to go play." He said as he ran to find the other guys.

"Why have you been acting so weird?" Alice asked coming up behind me.

"What? I haven't been." I said as I walked away from them as they giggled at my retreating back. Bitches.

I wandered around watching the few kids they were here, playing games. I was silently freaking out being around these kids. They were all cute, but I definitely didn't want one of my own. Not now anyways, when I am older yes, but not now. Hell, I just started college.

"Hey, sweetie." Renee said. "Having fun?"

"Yeah." I answered. "I thought these places were usually packed?"

"They are but Carlisle and I rented the whole place so that it wouldn't be packed." Esme answered. "And we try to keep my boys away from unsuspecting strangers." She laughed and I couldn't help but laugh with her.

"Mom."

We all looked around for what child was talking, but couldn't find anyone.

"Mom." They whispered again. "Mom, I'm stuck."

We all looked up to see Emmett sitting in one of the climbing tubes in the weird maze of tunnels.

"Emmett Cullen, what the hell are you doing up there?" Esme hissed. "Your to big to be up there."

"Well, obviously seeing how I'm stuck. Help me."

"Edward, Jasper." Esme called. They came running over and Esme pointed up to where Emmett was scrunched up in the tube. "Get him out of there before we get thrown out."

"How the hell did you get your big ass in there?" Edward asked.

"It wasn't easy." Emmett said.

Edward went up one side of the tubes while Jasper went up the other side. Edward pushed while Jasper pulled. It took some time but they finally got him out.

"Don't do that again, Emmett." Esme said while Rose smacked him on the back of the head.

After about another hour of playing and watching Edward, Emmett, and Jasper act like the biggest kids anyone had ever seen, Chucky E. Cheese came out carrying the birthday cake.

Emmett who was standing holding Riley started backing away slowly. "What are you doing?" I asked.

"That thing is creepy." He said as he kept walking backwards slowly.

"Why is it creepy?" I laughed.

"It's a giant rat in clothes!" He practically screamed. Riley was laughing at him.

"Oh, my God, Emmett. Grow a pair." Esme said as she pulled Riley out of Emmett's arms. "I'm never getting grandkids from that one." She mumbled.

We all laughed at Emmett while his eyes stayed glue to the giant rat.

The rest of the party went smoothly as soon as Chucky E. Cheese left and Emmett was free to play again. The games were actually pretty fun even though they were designed for children. And I personally think that the ball pit is the best thing ever invented.

We turned in all of our tickets for prizes, which we gave to the little kids except for the stuffed doll of Chuck E. Cheese, which I gave to Emmett. He wasn't happy, and threw it at me.

Edward and jasper both lost a sock and Emmett lost his wallet. After finding the wallet, we gave up on the socks and headed home. I decided that once I had kids of my own I would definitely be coming back here. Hopefully the having kid's part wasn't anytime soon.

The house smelled great as all the women where in the kitchen making Thanksgiving dinner. Alice, Rose, and I all tried to help with the cooking but Esme and Renee said that we were still young enough to enjoy the sitting back and relaxing part. According to Esme we would all be married soon enough and making our own family dinners. I wanted to just roll my eyes at that.

We sat in the living room watching the Thanksgiving Day parade with the kids until the guys took over the TV to watch football. That was when we decided we could help and set the table. Anything to get away from guys screaming the TV set, we up for.

There was a small table for the kids next to the table for the adults. Esme said she wasn't sure which table Emmett should sit at.

Once Esme announced dinner was ready all the guys came running as if they have never eaten before.

"Everything smells great, ladies." Carlisle said as he sat down.

"Yes, you sure have out done yourselves." Charlie said as he sat next to Renee.

"That's a huge turkey. I'm a breast man, and I'm pleased." Emmett said while wiggling his eyebrows.

"Don't be a pig." Esme chastised him.

"We should go around and say what we are thankful for?" Esme said as everyone started eating.

"Ugh…" Edward, Jasper, and Emmett all groaned in unison.

"Oh quit. You use to love doing that when you were younger." Esme said. "I will go first. I am thankful to be able to spend the holidays with my family and friends."

"I am thankful everybody is here and healthy." Carlisle said.

Tanya and her husband said that they were thankful to finally get pregnant and that the baby was growing healthy. Kate and Garret said they were thankful that there twins were happy and healthy. All of the older people, whose name I still wasn't sure of, were thankful for the normal heath, happiness, family, and friends.

"I am thankful for true love." Rosalie smiled at Emmett.

"I am thankful for birth control." Emmett said. "It's life's miracle that prevents life's miracle."

Rose smacked Emmett and Esme growled at him.

"I am thankful for Alice. The most beautiful women I have ever had the privilege to have in my life." Jasper said looking in to Alice's eyes.

"I'm thankful for southern accents." Alice said. "Damn that's sexy." We all laughed as she mumbled the last part.

"Umm…can I steal the birth control one?" Edward asked. Esme growled again. He wouldn't be making that joke if he knew what I was worrying about. "I am thankful for friendly bets with my brothers." He winked at me while I scowled at him. "Sometime's some good does come from them." He said while looking at his brothers.

"I am thankful that our kids are getting so close." Renee said smiling hugely at me and Edward. I noticed Esme was smiling just the same. What the hell?

"Umm…I don't really know. I guess I'm thankful I get to go to school with my best friends." I said.

The rest of dinner went be without incident except the occasional joke from Emmett about his turkey breast. After dinner and dessert Alice, Rosalie, and I were sitting on the front porch, while Emmett and Jasper grabbed all of there stuff to head to Forks to visit there parents.

"So what is really going on with you?" Alice asked me.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Ever since the camping trip you have been acting weird. And you have been avoiding Edward like the plague." Rosalie laughed.

"It's nothing." I sighed.

"Oh, c'mon you can tell us. Is this about the missed birth control? I'm sure it's fine." Rose said dismissively with the wave of her hand.

"I'm late." I blurted.

"What?' The both asked at the same time.

"I'm late." I said again. "It's only two days. But I have never been late, ever." I said starting to panic.

"It's probably just stress." Rose said and Alice nodded in agreement.

"Never! Never been late."

"Should we tell her?" Alice asked Rosalie.

"Tell me what?" I asked.

"Okay…umm…you didn't have sex with Edward." Alice said. I just stared at them not understanding.

"After you guys woke us up you went into your tent and we could hear you." Rose explained. "You got pretty heated but Edward…was…to drunk to get it up and keep it up."

"So no sex?" I asked.

"Nope." Alice said popping the p. "But you both tried like hell." She laughed.

"Oh thank god." I sighed a huge sigh of relief. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"Well, we thought with as much fun as the two of you have been having messing with each other, we thought we have a little fun of our own and let you sweat it out a bit." Rose said. "And, it has been fun for us." They laughed.

"You do realize that now I'm going to have to take this out on Edward, right?"

"Oh, Bella. Why?" Alice whined.

"I have been stressing about this for almost a month. And I think now its Edward's turn." I smiled as I was working out my newest scheme in my head.

A/N: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. In the next chapter, the real fun is going to start! Until then Review and tell me what you are thinking.
