Chapter Four

{Edward's POV}

[Cullen Manor-Morning]

I was excited-Jacob was coming over today! Mommy said it was okay. Did you know Jacob is my best friend? He's my only friend but I don't care-I love him, he's the bests friend I could ever have and it's great! He likes to see me dance like the boys on TV, and he even calls me pretty-mommy said boys are supposed be handsome; but I like when he calls me that-no one else just Jacob. I stood by the large windows waiting for him-I have been all day, Nana and Alice cleaned the house behind me-mommy was out with daddy-they went into the forest and Papa was at work. Jazzy sat at my piano Papa brought for me playing a happy song, my family is different-they are not warm like Jacob's mommy and sometimes when I lay on daddy's chest I don't hear his heart, Ms. Honey says were all have beating hearts but I can't hear my families-and they are fast, like really fast. Daddy came as soon as I called when I woke up from a bad dream, I didn't wonder then but I do know, Papa says I'm curious.

"Bambi why don't you come sit on the bench and play me that new song you learned at class." Sighing I nodded walking towards Jazzy, he helped me up and I heard it again.

I honestly think we should tell him soon. Jazzy let me go and it was gone-it happened every time I touched someone or thought about them-sometimes it hurts.

"What song Jazzy?"

"Anything you want love." He smiled kissing the top of my head and smiled-I loved Jazzy to.

[Later that Day]

"Jake, Jake, Jake!" I ran out the door into his arms-his arms were always warm. I felt safe, when he hugged me.

"Hey beauty." He whispered I blushed grinning

"Hey" I whispered back "Do you want to go play on the swings?" He nodded and we walked to the back.

[Rosalie's POV]

I watched them play together and I smile-the natives were no trouble, but when it was time to leave I don't know how I could break it to him-to them both. Edward was close with Jacob-I guess we would have to deal with it when it came to it. A pair of large arms wrapped around me and I smiled.

"Emmett."

"Hey Rosie-he's with that native kid again?"

"Jacob honey, and yes-their best friends."

"Don't you think he's a bit older than our Bambi?"

It took all I had not to laugh.

"It's not like they are getting married Emmett they are just kids." Emmett grumbled tighten his grip on my waist and Alice let out a squeal above and I could only guess she gotten a new pair of shoes or found some.

[Later that Night]

We all gathered in Edward's room at his bedtime, he sat in Carlisle arms happily as he read him a story. When he finished Edward looked up to smile at us-I could only hope he would still smile at us after we tell him this.

"Did you have fun with Jacob today?" He nodded and I swear his face lit up.

"He's my best friend." He whispered "I love him." I reached to smooth back his curls from his eyes.

"That's good honey, Mommy and Daddy have something to ask you-do you notice that we are different?" The five year old nodded playing with his Cullen crest on his neck-Carlisle made it for him on his fourth birthday.

"You're cold and fast." He said "Papa does not have a heart, but it's okay-I know you love me and you all have hearts."

We were all quiet-but then again we should not expect nothing less; he was a genius-he accepted us. He let out an adorable yawn snuggling closer to his grandfather.

"We love you Edward."

"I love you to." He smiled shutting his eyes

"Good job Edward, turn out that foot Melody." The dance teacher smiled at all her pupils when the piano stopped they ended with a Pirouette. She hit the floor twice and the all sat on the ground looking at their teacher.

"As you know we are having a recital- and I have two solo spots. I want you all to say good job to Sophia and Edward." The class clapped smiling at the two kids, Sophia took Edward's hand smiling and Edward blushed smiling back at her.

"Good luck." He whispered

"You to." The dance teacher let them out and Edward rushed outside to see his Papa.

"Papa!" Papa was usually at work, and sometimes he never get to see him. Carlisle bent down picking him up.

"Hey big boy-how was class?"

"I got a solo!" he squealed, Carlisle smile reached wide across his face.

"That's wonderful baby, how about some Ice cream?"

"ICE CREAM!" he hollered and Carlisle laughed putting him into the car-turning he waved out the window to his teacher and friends.

[Later That Day]

"No."

"Rose."

"No, he's not going down there, Jacob can come up here but he's not going down there."

"It's just a sleepover Rosalie-he's my son to, and I said he can go."

"So help me God Emmett." She growled

"No! Rosalie I will take him down there myself, you can't protect him from everything- and you can't keep him in the house all the time. The boy has friends!" Emmett shouted, he stormed away going into his son's room. He sat reading his favorite book in his plush chair.

"Hey buddy."

"Hi daddy." He kneeled down next to him scooping him up in his arms

"Are you ready for your sleepover?"

"I can go?" he asked glancing up him, Emmett nodded smiling his eyes went to the book his son was reading-James and the giant peach.

"Bambi-do you understand this?" Edward shut the book looking down.

"I'm sorry."

"No, no Bambi it's alright I mean." He turned the boy in his lap kissing his hair "What other books do you have?" The boy slid off his father's lap pushing back all the age appropriate level books he's supposed to be reading-and there sat high school level and above.

"Please don't be mad."

"Baby why would I be mad-why didn't you tell us?"

"I thought you be mad at me for reading."

"No, no Bambi you're smart. That's a good thing and all any parent can ask-I'm glad."

"Can I stay in kindergarten?"

"You don't want to move up?"

"No-I want to be normal. "He whispered "Can we pack for Jake's?"

"Sure bud."

"My dad is making me hang out with her."

"What's her name?"

"Bella, she's Chief's Swan's daughter."

"Is she pretty?" Edward asked-Jacob looked his best friend taking his hand.

"No one is as pretty as you-never."
