So how is everyone? I bet y'all are waiting for my to put up the third chapter, I know how antsy people get because that happens with me when I'm reading a story. I'm like UGH! UPDATE ALREADY! Haha. I really like OneRepublic so you may see that some of the chapters will be inspired by the songs, especially their new album Waking Up. You guys should so buy it on iTunes, their music is amazing. So the first person to review this chapter will be mentioned in the next chapter! :) Enjoy, my loves.


Chapter Three

Sunny Bridge

We were just a few minutes away from Sunny Bridge, it was just over a small bridge and then just another ten minutes until we pulled into the small town.

Liam was awake, he was talking to Siobhan on the phone and actually smiling. It seems like she misses him already and he misses her, young love is so strange yet adorable.

Emmett stuck his hand out the window of his van, waving for me to go beside his car. I sped up and went onto the left lane, lowering Liam's window to see what my idiot of a brother wanted.

"Yeah?" I called, glancing at him.

"You go in front of me because I don't want to pull into someone else's house, you know where Mom lives so you go ahead." he said, gesturing me forward.

Liam's window raised and I sped up a bit more, going in front of Emmett and going at a normal 50 mph speed. A growl stole my attention from the road and I looked at Liam who was shaking his phone, "Damn..." he muttered.

"Lost her?" I asked, looking back at the road.

"No reception here." he growled, tossing his phone into the cup holder.

Whenever he was talking to Siobhan he was so involved in her, he wanted to give all his attention to her so that she didn't feel like he had better things to do beside talking to her.

I smiled, "You'll be able to call her when we get to Grandma's place." I said.

"What's Grandma like? I don't remember her." he asked, looking at me.

My mom? Well, she's a lot of things.

"She's like Emmett in a way, she's always happy and excited. Emmett takes after her in that way and I take after your grandpa, I'm calm and quiet while Emmett's hyper and loud." I explained.

He nodded, "Is she as bad as Emmett?" his voice shook in mock fear.

"No! Absolutely not, Grandma knows how to control herself unlike your idiot of an uncle." I said, laughing at his silly question.

Liam sighed in relief and ruffled his hair up a bit, "Thank God." he mumbled.

We continued on the road when we came to the bridge, it was a small bridge but it looked like only one car could cross at a time. I stopped the car and Emmett slammed on his brakes, the girls shot forward but they were wearing the seat belts so they were ok.

I opened the window, "Emmett! Wait a minute after I cross, this bridge is small." I told him.

He nodded, "Got it." he said.

The car moved smoothly over the bridge and I continued down the road, Emmett was right behind me in about two minutes and Kate's head was out the window. She was looking around, there was just grass to go on for miles on each side of the car. Flowers were scattered around, giving it a magical feeling.

Liam grinned, "It's so different..." he breathed.

"It is, this is our new home." I said, smiling at him.

He nodded happily, "Our new home." he said confidently.

The road had turned into a dirt path a good three minutes after I crossed the bridge, the truck shook a bit from the rough path and the stones embedded in the dirt. Liam held onto his seat for the rest of the ride, worrying that the truck was going to tip over.

That's when I saw it, Mom's house and behind it land stretched for miles. On the hill a bit behind her house I saw horses running around, cows standing in the grass and eating it? I don't know what they're doing.

I pulled the car in front of the house and Emmett stopped the car beside mine, Liam looked at me nervously and I smiled.

"Don't get all shy on me, you and Kate are very happy and quite loud people. Don't let Tanya beat you to the greetings." the second I mentioned Tanya, Liam was out and running towards the house.

Mom came out and saw Liam, "Oh my! You must be Liam." she said, hugging him.

Liam hugged her back tightly and I smiled as I climbed out the truck, walking around it. Tanya huffed, "Dang...Liam beat me." she pouted.

Kate ran to my side and took my hand, hiding a bit behind me. Emmett ran past all of us and ripped Mom away from Liam, twirling around with her in his arms.

"Mom!" he shouted, chuckling.

Mom grinned, "Emmett! You've grown up and you're so big!" she laughed.

Tanya ran over the second Mom's feet touched the ground and held out her hand, "Hi! My name is Tanya Elizabeth Cullen." she said.

"I know who you are, your eyes still have the twinkle they did when you were just a few months old." she said, hugging Tanya.

I looked at Kate, "Aren't you going to say hi?" I asked.

Silence.

"Kate, she's your grandma. Don't get shy now." I said, nudging her in front of me.

She blushed and looked down at her feet, shuffling them some. Mom walked over and kneeled down, Kate was still kinda short for a fifteen year old girl. Mom was definitely taller than her.

"Hey there, why you all down?" she asked Kate.

Kate bit her lip and looked up at Mom, "I'm...nervous." she choked out.

"Nervous? About what?" Mom asked, confused.

"Seeing you...I don't want you to think I'm spoiled or not smart." Kate admitted, her face going red.

"Honey, I could never be disappointed in y'all. You are my pride and joy." she said, hugging Kate.

Kate hugged her back and smiled, "Thank you." she whispered.

"No problem, why don't you run in and meet the rest of the family?" Mom suggested.

Kate shook her head and took my hand again, "I'll go in with Mom." she said, her voice was shaking and I put my arm around her.

"It's ok, you've met these people before. It's not like you've never seen them before." I whispered to her, kissing the top of her head.

She didn't say anything and I looked at Mom, "Hey." I said.

She smiled, "Hey there." she said, giving me a slight hug and being careful not to move Kate.

"How have you been? You look great!" I asked, smiling widely.

She laughed, "I've been just fine. I am happy y'all decided to move down here, now I can get my fill of the kids and my kids." she said happily.

"I think the kids are going to be loving it here, I already am. Emmett...I'm not so sure." I said, giggling at the thought of Emmett riding a horse.

Mom shook her head laughing, "Your brother sure is somethin' else." she said.

"He's you, Mom. Everything you are, he is. I mean, I kinda look like you but I take after Dad. Emmett's all you, that's exactly how you act." I said, smiling.

She chuckled, "Really? I act like that?" she asked.

"Oh yes, Mom. Definitely." I said.

Kate gasped and I looked at what she was looking at, a big Golden Retriever. He was staring at Kate, wagging his tail wildly with his tongue hanging out of his mouth.

"Mom, it's a dog." she said, running over to him.

She knelt down and began petting him, the dog rolled over onto his stomach barking happily. I smiled and looked at Mom, "Is he yours?" I asked.

"No, that would be my friend's dog. She lives a bit over that there hill with her son, her husband left before her son was born because that boy wasn't ready for a baby yet. No one knows where the bastard went." she explained, sighing.

I nodded and Kate giggled as the dog started licking her face, "Do you know his name?" I asked.

"Champion." she answered, whistling.

Champion shot up and ran over, barking and wagging his tail.

"Why you here, boy? I thought Jasper was suppose to be takin' care of you." she asked him, kneeling down.

He started running around in circles, "Who's Jasper?" I asked, I'm feeling nosey.

"My friend's son, the dog's owner really." she said, "He sent you off again? Jasper can be so mean to you sometimes." she said.

I looked down at her, "Sent him off?" I asked.

"Jasper likes to send Champion off whenever he and his mom fight, but sometimes Champion gets lost. He ain't the smartest dog out there." she explained.

Jasper...that's a strange name.

Kate look at me, "Can I take him back to his house? Grandma said it was just over the hill, I'll be back." she begged.

"I don't know...I don't really know the area." I said, biting my lip.

"She'll be fine, we're like family in Sunny Bridge. The guys will watch out for her over at the ranch, don't worry." she said, patting my back.

I sighed, "Ok...but be back soon because we need to go to our house and start unpacking." I told her.

She squealed and clapped her hands, "Champion? Let's go." she said as she took off running behind the house.

Champion followed after her.

"Looks like Kate will fit in just fine here, she seems to really like animals." Mom said, smiling at me.

I nodded, "I think she will." I said happily.
