Hey! Sorry it's been so long but I've been on holiday to my Mums last week and I've been up to my eyeballs in homework…ugh school is hard; can I get a review/fave/follow for anyone who agrees? Hahah anyhoo I thought I've neglected this fic for long enough now so I better start working on it but before I do some IMPORTANT questions for you guys,

I'm thinking of having a new name for fanfic, I don't want my parents finding me, any ideas?

Also I'm looking for a BETA for this fic and a few other fics I have, anyone up for the job? Because as I'm sure you all know, I make stupid spelling/grammar/punctuation mistakes, even though I do use spell check! So just PM me or put it in a review : ) xxxx

On with the fic : ) xxxxxxxx

Chapter 15.

Esme's POV.

Edward came to a halt in the middle of the forest.

"Edward, son, what's wrong?" Carlisle stopped and ran beside him like me.

"Let's erm…not go in there." He said, nervously.

Strange, Edward was never nervous.

We were only about 4 miles away from the house.

"Why not?" I asked.

"Rosalie and Emmett." He wrinkled his nose.

"What are they….oh." I realised mid-sentence.

"Son, they are mates, that's what they will do, especially new mates, we just have to suck it up and deal with it, sorry son but that's just the way it goes." Carlisle said, giving me a knowing smirk. I giggled.

"Not you guys too!" Edward groaned.

"Come on sweetheart, let's go home, they'll stop soon." I smiled and patted his arm.

He sighed yet followed after us.

I tried my best to ignore the sounds coming from upstairs, Edward down right refused to come inside the house, he said he would do some gardening. But when I looked out side he was sat under a tree with a book balanced on his knees and his hands pressed against his ears, a look of concentration on his face. I laughed.

Carlisle came up behind me.

"Remember when he was like this with us?" He whispered and chuckled.

"How could I forget?" I laughed with him.

Edward shot a glare to us, we laughed more. He rolled his eyes at us playfully then.

After a few more minutes the noises stopped from upstairs and whispers replaced it. They knew we were home.

Edward came inside then and smiled crookedly at us both.

"Better now?" I asked.

"Much." He chuckled.

He went over to his piano and played my song, I smiled contently and said thank you in my head, he nodded his head. I went to sit with Carlisle and read.

Soon Emmett bounded down the stairs.

"Hey guys" He grinned.

"Hello Emmett, Your eyes are getting dark, do you want to hunt?" Carlisle asked.

He shrugged. "I'll wait for Rosalie, she said she'd be down in a few minutes." He rubbed his throat absent mindedly. Funny how he didn't seem embarrassed.

Does he know we know?

I asked Edward. He nodded.

Strange, mind you I'd never really met anyone quite like Emmett, so bold and childlike yet mature all the same.

"Whatcha guys doing?" He asked.

"Just reading." Carlisle and I said together.

"What about you Edward?" He asked.

"Playing piano."

"Can you play?"

"Yes, my birth mother taught me how too and I got lessons." He showed off a bit, he moved up so Emmett could sit next to him.

"I can play erm that French one and chopsticks." Emmett said proudly.

"Fara jaca?" Edward asked.

"Yeah that's the one." He smiled.

"How did you learn?"

"Well my older brother taught me chopsticks, my grandpa taught him for a school project and I learnt fara jaca from my Cousin, she's part French. All I know of French is like bonjour and bon. This one time I tried talking to my French auntie, I was like bonjour and she went off speaking all fancy French and I was just there, everyone looked at me expecting me to say something back so I just went, 'bon', it was really funny, until my cousin said that she was talking about how the chickens keep getting stolen by foxes and stuff. I got proper glared at like this." Emmett did a really funny glare.

Edward laughed really loud, no doubt seeing it through Emmett's eyes when it really happened.

I don't think I had actually heard Edward laugh so freely, it was nice.

"So you're part French then?" Edward asked.

"I don't think so, we just call them auntie and that because she's my Momma's best friend so kind of like family, I'm just Irish and a bit Scottish I guess, more Irish I think, not too sure." He shrugged. "What about you?"

"Pure American as far as I am aware."

"Cool, so what can you play?"

"Whatever you want." Edward smiled proudly.

"Really? I don't know many songs though."

"I've also composed some."

"Really? Can I hear? I bet they're awesome Edward." Emmett said admiringly. I nudged Carlisle, I loved how Edward was being, nothing at all like he was with Rosalie, he was opening up to Emmett, like brothers. Carlisle smiled too, we both watched.

"Sure, this is Esme's song." He played.

"That's really good sounds like that stuff you listen too when you go to fancy places, it makes me feel all posh." Emmett joked.

Edward laughed.

"So tell me more about stuff that you've done."

"Well erm this one time I got stuck on my middle school roof." Emmett laughed.

"You're joking, surely."

"Nope, this is real, me and this guy, David or something have been like enemies since we were 4, just 'cos I didn't invite him to my birthday, anyway we got into a dare war when we were 14, he dared me to get on the roof and scream that I was a fairy princess, so I got Louis and his friend to give me a boost, they were taller than me then, still I got up and screamed it but then I noticed that Louis and his friend had to go to detention so I was just stuck."

"No way!"

"Yup, then my brother Liam went and told on me, then a ton of teachers came out yelling and told me to get down but I couldn't, all the kids were laughing as well, which made me laugh, the gym teacher got a mat and told me to jump on it, so I tried but my foot got caught in the gutter so I was stuck hanging there upside down, it was scary! But I tried to get free, soon Louis came to help but I fell, landing on him, deserved him right for leaving me."

Edward laughed again.

"Did you get in trouble?"

"Of course I did, 3 weeks detention, 4 strikes with the cane and a letter sent home. Worth it though, what about you, any funny stories to share?"

"Well, this one time me and my friend, John went camping, we were around 12 years old, We walked on this wall thing which had a few lampposts dotted around it, so we swung on them to make it more interesting, I was just behind John when he swung around the last lamp post, the lamppost wasn't attached to the wall properly as it came straight off, tipping into John, he fell backwards into the flower patch behind him, which the gardener had just put some horse manure into to make the roses grow, he landed in all of it and couldn't get up because of the lamppost. I went to help him get the lamppost off, but we were both laughing so hard that we couldn't move it, finally we did , then this boy who had been mean to us all week came along, by now we were both covered in the manure, but the boy didn't notice, so John and I said sorry and that we hoped we could be friends, and we hugged him, covering him in the manure!"

"No way!"

"No really" Edward grinned.

"I wouldn't expect you to do that Edward. High five!" Emmett grinned back and high fived him.

I smiled at them, maybe this family could work, note family, not coven.

Hello again! Sorry if you guys didn't like those little stories but I wanted Edward and Emmett to bond some more, also that last story about the lamppost is mostly true, but I wasn't John it was my Best mate, also there was no manure or other boy but still : )

REVIEW! And remember BETA AND NEW NAME :D xxxxxxxxx
