"Oh god no Edward! You can't show Charlie and Renee the house" Bella exclaimed all of a sudden. All of us froze including Esme. What had we missed now?

"Give me a second." Bella whispered.

"Dad you must be hungry. Why don't you have some tea first before you see the house?" Bella told Charlie. Of course Charlie wouldn't refuse food.

"Please Charlie have a cup of tea before you go around the house. I should have offered as soon as you came."

Esme looked contrite. But she was wondering why Bella was so adamant that they should not see the house. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the house either. Alice didn't seem to find anything wrong because in her visions Renee admired the house but Charlie didn't look so happy. She thought Bella must know something we didn't so we decided to play along.

"Oh we forgot to show Charlie the wedding files." Alice was enjoying this delay.

"Charlie you should see all the files Alice has prepared" Renee played right into her hand.

"Oh I'll just see the house and then have some tea."Charlie said. Bella sent a look with daggers at Alice and the pixie looked apologetic. "Weddings… dressing up…monkey suits….. house better…." I barely picked up Charlie's internal mumblings. I gathered he found the thought of missing the food better than having to go through the huge pile of wedding files he had already seen sitting on the coffee table.

"It will be our pleasure. Please come up Renee.. Charlie…" Esme said as she led the way upstairs giving Bella a helpless look. All of us followed. Once we got upstairs Bella caught Renee's hand.

"This is Carlisle's library and office."

Bella dragged Renee right into the library passing the game room. Esme stared at her in surprise. It certainly looked rude that Bella was showing the house instead of Esme and she had missed showing the game room.

I could tell Renee and Charlie were both impressed with the library and the amount of books we had.

"You could open your own library with all these books". Charlie said in amazement. I saw Bella snagging a piece of paper from the desk with a pen and hiding it behind her and quickly coming to my side. She took cover near a book case and started writing.

"We have to create two rooms for Emmett and Jasper." I looked in surprise at Bella.

"I don't think Charlie would approve of some of you sleeping together. He will think badly of Esme and Carlisle for allowing it." Oh! Now I understood. Why hadn't we thought of this? Although both couples Alice and Jasper and also Emmett and Rosalie were married we were posing as teenagers and as adopted siblings. It really would look bad.

"So what should we do?" I wrote.

"Well, the game room can be Emmett's and Jasper can have Alice's design studio." Now the reason why Bella bypassed the game room was obvious.

"Ok" That would do. Just as I said that a very agitated pixie came to our side. She had had a vision of her design studio getting a new facelift.

"Wait just a second I can't move all my stuff from that room". She wrote.

"It's better than the guest room Alice. I first thought of giving Jasper the guest room but I remembered it has flowery curtains and I don't think someone like Jasper would sleep in it. Come on Alice you and Jasper anyway spend so much time in there. It's just for show. All you have to do is hang Jasper's rifle, the uniform you have preserved for him, some of his pictures and it would look like his room"

"Well ok." Alice finally grudgingly agreed. She had a fleeting vision of Charlie smiling.

"Now you two get to work. I'll have to stay here. But if I remember anything else I'll let you know Alice. You can see me deciding things right?"

"Sure" Alice nodded.

"First we need beds for Emmett and Jasper." Bella had a frown on her forehead. I smoothed it with my finger tip. She looked adorable.

"Snap out of it Edward! We need to think" Alice thought at me clearly annoyed by my distraction.

"We don't have any extra beds". Alice wrote back. Oh!

"What about the inflatable camping bed? I remember you had it with all your camping stuff." Bella sure had a good memory.

"I'll get it." Alice rushed out of the library.

"For Jasper?" Bella asked me writing on the paper.

"What about the lounge chair. Shit it's here in the library." I could see it in the far corner.

"Ok that should do. How do we get it out while they are in here?" It was in plain view at the side of Carlisle's desk where everyone was standing. Bella looked thoughtful for a moment.

"I'll distract them. You get it. And I'll think about what else that needs to be done and decide on it so that Alice can see it." With that Bella moved to the other side of Carlisle's desk so that she was facing me standing next to Carlisle and the others had to look away from where the chair was to see her.

"Mom, Esme has some of the old Austen books all very early editions. Isn't it amazing?" Bella spoke very loudly. Her heart was beating wildly and she was blushing. I knew how she hated to be the centre of attention but she was doing this for our family.

"Oh wow. Where did you get them?" Renee asked. She looked impressed.

"Oh at auctions." Esme was proud to have been able to come up with an answer. She had of course purchased them a long time ago while the stores still held them.

I ran to the corner and carried the chase lounge out on my head. Carlisle saw me and raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. But Bella burst into a fit of giggles. I can see through Carlisle's eyes that I did make quite a spectacle carrying such a huge chair by my self on my head. I couldn't help the small smile that spread across my face. I hoped Bella could control her laughter.

"What?" Renee turned around just as I managed to leave the room. She didn't catch sight of me but the other vampires noticed what I did and everyone looked confused.

"Oh it's nothing. It's just Emmett. Stop poking me Emmett." Poor Emmett who was standing on the other side of Bella looked at her in surprise.

"Emmett, behave yourself." Esme reprimanded. She knew he didn't do anything but felt a motherly touch of warning was in line with whatever Bella was doing. By now all the vampire's knew Bella was upto something.

"But..but I didn't do anything." Emmett looked really upset now. Then Bella winked at him. Luckily he shut up without saying anything else. "Your girl friend has gone crazy Edward."

"My fiancée." I proudly corrected him at vampire pitch. "Just play along Emmett. She has a good reason for doing this."

I ran as fast and I can and placed the chair in Alice's design studio. Then I went back to Alice's and Jasper's room to get some of Jasper's favourite war paintings and his rifle along with his uniform. I also grabbed a few of his books along with a small book rack, some clothes and raced back to the studio just as Alice brought some ginger beer cans.

"What are those for?" I asked.

The pixie shrugged.

"Bella wants me to keep them near his chair. She even had me keep a half bitten hamburger in the game room."

She shuddered in revulsion. She changed the location of the book rack and hung the paintings there grudgingly taking down her pictures.

"Bella wanted me to arrange the room this way." Alice's curtains were in white. She had neutral coloured furniture and decorations so that she had the backdrop needed to display her clothing designs. It did look somewhat masculine with the gun hanging there. Alice hid her mannequin in the small changing room she'd made with curtains.

"Ok there. Are you satisfied?" She asked aloud even though she knew Bella couldn't hear her.

Just as we finished redoing the others came out of the library. Alice ran downstairs again while I joined the others.

"You missed Emmett's room Bella." I told her. I couldn't help the satisfied grin on my face. My brother looked at me as if I had grown two heads. The others also gave me a puzzled look.

"My room?" he asked in vampire pitch. I nodded showing the way. Everyone walked into the game room. It looked messy. One sock was hanging from the arm of a chair. A T-shirt was draped across a chair. The air mattress had a pile of bed linen on it all mangled to look like someone slept there. Shoes were thrown around the room with some more socks. All the stuff belonged to Emmett. Esme shuddered when she saw the half eaten burger.

"How many times do I have to tell you to throw away the food after eating?" Esme asked Emmett. She secretly enjoyed playing mother.

"But I..." Emmett struggled with words.

"And make your bed when you get up." Esme pointed to the half made air mattress with the covers all messed up. I looked at Alice. "Bella made me do it. She wanted it to look untidy. She said it was how Emmett would keep his room if he was a human teenager. I'm so glad I don't have to live with human teenagers!".

Bella giggled. I couldn't help smiling myself.

Poor Emmett was trying to come to terms with everything. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Some of our base ball stuff was also scattered around the room. Two posters that Emmett had got at games but hadn't been able to hang in their room because Rosalie didn't like them now hung on the walls. There was also a picture of a fashion model in a swimming suit which belonged to Alice. Bella had thought of everything. I had to chuckle. Just as I thought a playboy magazine would have completed the scene Alice rushed out and brought in some magazines and discretely nudged them under a chair.

"Good touch Edward. I've been waiting to get back at Emmett for putting some in my school bag. Eric Yorke thought I was wild." I remembered it and hated having to see Eric fantasise about Alice for over two months after that.

Emmett cringed when he saw them. He didn't want to end up in Bella's parents' bad books. Unfortunately for him Charlie saw the magazines when he went to explore one of the baseball bats leaning against the chair. Charlie shook his head. "Teenage boys. Wonder what the Edward's room looks like. Could tell a lot about a man by looking at his room. If he ever thinks about doing things in those magazine's to my Bells.." I couldn't catch the rest of his thoughts because he got distracted. His attention was caught on the baseball bat when he couldn't lift it. He was surprised.

"It's a model souvenir bat" Emmett spoke up realising that Charlie would wonder why the bat was so heavy. Charlie nodded giving him a stern look and Emmett realised that Charlie had seen the magazines.

Emmett looked at Bella with a frown. He had guessed by now that it was all Bella's doing. "Guess she's getting back at you for all your teasing." Rosalie told Emmett in vampire pitch.

Emmett grinned at Bella shaking his head. "Unbelievable. I'll get you for this little sis mark my words. May be I should trash Edwards room.." He thought to himself. Oh god.

Although he didn't like the mess Charlie looked impressed with the gaming equipment. There was also a tread mill on the side and he eyed it and looked back at Emmett and thought "It doesn't look like they use it. Well I guess they don't need to they all look fit." He thought of the way I had looked without a shirt and assumed everyone else must also look well muscled. We had to be more careful. Some wear and tear in our human props would make them look more realistic.

"This is Rosalie's room". Bella told the others as they entered Emmett's and Rosalie's room. Emmett looked around the room thoughtfully he kind of liked the idea of having his own room. This one really was Rosalie's room. Except for the clothes in the closet everything here belonged to Rosalie. I felt sorry for Emmett only now noticing that he didn't really have anything here to claim as his. Oh no. It was then that I saw the porn DVD's near the bed. Shit. Rosalie noticed at the same time and kicked them under the bed but not before Renee caught her. She gave Rosalie a conspiratory grin. Rosalie's eyes grew huge in shock.

"Why do you have mirrors in the ceiling?" Charlie asked in surprise. Oh shit! It was for Emmett's and Rosalie's viewing pleasure when they did ahmm….certain things but we couldn't say that out loud.

"I like mirrors" Rosalie spoke up. She looked embarrassed I couldn't believe it. Rosalie and Emmett usually took great pleasure flaunting their sex life for all of us to see, specially me.

"Oh what a lovely mirror." Renee walked up to the huge gilded mirror near Rosalie's dressing table. Everything looked very gaudy and ostentatious for my taste. Charlie didn't seem to like the room either. He thought Bella had better taste. I silently agreed with him.

After that we went upstairs to the next level where Alice's and Jasper's room and the design studio were housed. I felt a faint touch on my butt on the way up the stairs. I turned around and saw that Bella was right behind me but she was talking to Renee. I was about to dismiss the idea that she had touched me when I saw the way Renee thought of how Bella had pinched my butt. She was pretending that she didn't see it so that Bella wouldn't get embarrassed. The little minx! I had to get back at her for what she did.

Just as we turned along the corridor I got my chance I squeezed Bella's breast from behind and pretended not to know what I did walking ahead passing her. I heard Bella's gasp and smelled her arousal along with the heated smell of her blush.

"Edward! What?" I met Carlisle's eyes. His eyebrows were raised in surprise. He had seen me touch Bella. He played it back in his mind. Oh god no. I was mortified. "Teenage hormones and teenagers" Carlisle shook his head. Then looked up at me again and stared at me as if he had never seen me before. "But he's…more than a hundred.." He saw the way I shamefully hung my head not meeting his eyes with my hands in my pockets. Then I heard his chuckle.

"Well it's about time you grew up Edward."

He was actually pleased that I had done this. Now it was my turn to stare at him in surprise.

"Edward, it's nothing to be ashamed of. She's your mate."

She's your mate. Those words echoed in my mind. Yes. She was mine. And soon she would be mine for an eternity. I couldn't help the triumphant smile spreading across my face.

Please review and let me know what you thought.
