Emmett's POV

"This isn't fair," I whined.

"Emmett she's sleeping," said Edward.

"But I wanna play with her now," I sighed, rocking back-and-forth on the stool.

Lilliana and her brother Jose had been sleeping for a long time.

"It's only been 9 hours," Edward read my thoughts.

"Don't you realize that feels like an eternity for us vampires." I complained.

I was gonna continue my rant when I heard something stirring upstairs. Lilliana was having a nightmare.

"No. Leaves us alone. Stop! No! Jose!" cried out Lilliana.

"Lilliana. Wake up. You're dreaming. Shhh. It's just a dream." Jose whispered calmly to his sister.

"Jose?" Lilliana sounded relieved as she woke up from her nightmare. "What time is it?

"I think about 6. You hungry?"

I heard her stomach grumble before she could answer.

"Race you downstairs." I heard her giggle.

There was a wooshing noise and she stood in front of me. Her smile turned to a frown. I turned around and saw Jose leaning against the wall. I didn't even seem come down. He was probably faster than Edward.

Esme's POV

I was on my way back from Wal-Mart. Thank goodness that store is open so early. I had gone to restock our food supply. Renessme did not eat a lot but Jacob ate as much as 5 men. And now we also had Lilliana and her brother. Even though I wasn't sure how long they would be with us.

I kind of hoped that they'd still be asleep, so I would have enough time to make them breakfast.

"Edward I think I know how to work an eggbeater." said Emmett.

"Can't we just use the blender?" I heard Lilliana suggest.

"This is not going to work. You can't just put a whole tube of peanut-butter." pointed out Edward.

I got out of the car. Alice and Jasper came down to help with the groceries from my haul. Making my way towards the kitchen I finally saw what they were up to.

"We only put in half of it," said Emmett. I walked in and saw Lilliana sitting on the counter eating a tub of peanut-butter. Emmett was cracking an egg into a blender full of other ingredients. Edward was reading the back of some pancake mix. While Jose was simply sitting near the counter reading one of Jasper's psychology books.

Alice placed the last of the groceries on the dining-room table.

"Do you need any help?" I asked. Mostly worried of the possible mess that would be made in my kitchen.

"No thank you Esme," Edward looked up and gave me a crooked smile, "I think we can figure out how to make pancakes ourselves. I mean I did go to medical school. Pancakes should be-"

"A piece of pan-cake," chuckled Emmett. Lilliana giggled.

"Well then, while you try to figure that out I'll start cooking the hash-browns and sausage links." I began pulling out the uncooked food and putting away the produce. Edward plugged in the griddle for the pancakes.

"Can I press the button?" asked Lilliana.

"Sure let me just-," before Emmett could secure the lid on, Lilliana turned the blender on. It was just for a few second, before Edward could unplug it. But it was enough to cover Lilliana, Emmett, and Jose in the pancake batter.

"Oops." cowered Lilliana.

Rosalie's POV

"How come Emmett doesn't have to take a bath?" whined Lilliana. She sat o the toilet while I filled the tub.

"Emmett already took his bath. Now it's your turn. Besides, he has to help Edward clean the kitchen." I explained. Lilliana only had two pairs of clothes. The gown Emmett had found her in and a pair of pants and sweater. Well she was currently wearing her pants an sweater, which were covered in pancake mix.

"Rosalie?" I heard Alice tap on the bathroom door. I opened it. Her face looked sad. In her hands she held clothes. "I figured Lilliana didn't have anything else to wear. And saw that these would fit her."

She handed me the clothes and left quickly to her room. I stared down at the clothes.

"Rosie, can we make it a bubble bath?" asked Lilliana. I turned around and saw her pouring shampoo into the almost full tub. I turned the water off. She undressed herself quickly and jumped into the tub.

"Would you like me to help you wash your hair?" I asked.

Esme's POV

"Here you go Esme." Edward had brought some clothes for Jose to wear.

"Thank you dear. I'm sure they'll fit." I dashed up to to mine and Carlisle's room. Jose was going to shower in our private bathroom. I heard the water on from the shower and walked into our room. I froze. Jose had his shirt off. But what made me gasp were the giant scars across his back. They looked like they were created from whips. "I am so sorry." I closed my eyes, placed the clothes on chair and left. My back was against the door as I covered my mouth.

That poor boy. What had he gone through to receive those wounds? I knew I couldn't question him about much. He was a closed book. Kind of like Jasper was when he first joined our family. Except Jasper was going to stay with us forever, Jose had already made it clear he was planning on leaving. Therefore he was not obligated to get to know us, nor did we have the right to force answers out of him.

I ran to the kitchen remembering that I was still in the process of making pancakes. Emmett was rinsing out the dish towels from cleaning the batter. Edward was flipping the last pancake.

"G'morning grandma." Renessme ran in dragging Jacob, followed by Bella.

"Smells delicous Esme." Jacob pulled up a chair at the dinning-room table. I brought over the freshly made pancake, sausage links, and hash browns. Edward took the milk and orange juice from the fridge.

"Rosalie, is Lilliana clean yet? Foods gonna get cold." I called.

"I'm all clean now." I walked out of the dinning room and faced the staircase. I looked up and saw Lilliana at the top. She jumped on the rail and slid down. I caught her just before she fell. She just giggled. I smiled and stared down at her. Her clothes looked so familiar. She was wearing a green shirt with white butterflies on it, and white leggings. Lilliana ran to the table.

"I put Lilliana's clothes in the washer with her brother's." Rosalie appeared beside me.

"Those clothes..." I whispered.

"Alice brought them out for Lilliana to wear." explained Rosalie. Jose came down and sat next to Lilliana. I was still a little embarrassed about walking in on him.

"Jacob pass the hash browns." Lilliana spoke across the table. pushed the plate across the table. "Do you guys have any ketchup Esme?" I hadn't realize that I wasn't moving.

"Of course." I grabbed the ketchup from the fridge.

"Aren't you guys gonna go to school?" asked Lilliana.

"Today is saturday," replied Edward.

"So Emmett doesn't have detention?" she giggled.

"I don't get into that much trouble." Emmett patted Lilliana on the head. I looked at Jose. He was busy cutting Lilliana's pancake into smaller pieces, while it looked like had barely taken a few bites.

"Alice, what's the weather gonna be like today?" asked Bella.

"Foggy with a chance of-."

"Meatballs?" interrupted Emmett.

"Thunderstorm." Alice continued.

"Who's up for football later?" asked Emmett.

"I'm game," said Edward.

"I'm sure Jasper would be up for it. Jasper?" Alice called.

Jasper came down. He gave Alice, me, and Renessme a kiss on the cheek.

"Well, someone got lucky last night," smirked Emmett. Jasper smiled punched Emmett on the shoulder. He glanced around the room and froze as he saw Lilliana. He was looking at her clothes. He looked sad for a split second but quickly returned to a small smile.

Two hours later...

"There is no way that I'm having Alice on my team." Emmett said.

"And why not?" Alice stomped her foot.

"Because, what if I throw you the ball and instead of catching it you have a vision, therefore allowing the other team to get the ball?" he supported his answer.

"Fine. But we get Bella." said Alice.

"No fair. She'll be blocking Edward's mind reading." whined Emmett.

"Which will only make things more fair." spoke up Bella.

I was sitting under a tree trying my nack for knitting. Renessme and Lilliana were nearby making crowns out of flowers.

"Why does Jacob call you Nessie?" asked Lilliana.

"He said my name was too hard to pronounce. But my mommy wasn't too happy about it. They got into a fight." replied Nessie.

"Who won?"

"Mommy told me that she won."

"And what did Jacob say?"

"He said that arguing with my mom is about as smart as betting against aunt Alice." she smiled.

"Jose go easy on Emmett." called out Lilliana.

Jose nodded and smiled.

"Easy on me? I'll try to go easy on him." gloated Emmett. Jacob came out of the house with some juice boxes for the girls.

"Here you Nessie, Lilliana." Jacob handed them their juice. Nessie thanked him and placed her finished flower crown on his head.

I looked back at the game going on. On one team was Jose, Alice, Bella, and Carlisle who had just come home from the hospital. On the other was Emmett, Jasper, Edward, and Rosalie. I focused back on my knitting. It was going to be a sweater for Jasper. I had already made on for Carlisle and Emmett.

"Hut-hut. Go long Edward." I looked up and saw Edward about to catch the ball. There was a blur and the next thing I saw was Jose smirking with the ball in his hand. I was glad to see a smile on his face. It was hard at first to convince him to play. Lilliana practically forced him, saying that if he didn't play she would take his spot. Of course none of us would let her play such a dangerous sport, but Jose had taken her threat seriously.

"Way to go, Jose!" Cheered Lilliana.

"Damn. I forgot how fast he was." complained Emmett.

"Touch down!" yelled Alice.

"Jakey, stop. You know I'm ticklish." I saw Jacob and Renessme in a tickle fight. Lilliana just watched and drank her juice box. Jacob accidentally bumped into Lilliana. Causing her to spill juice on her shirt.

"Jasper." Edward warned him.

Jasper had stopped playing and ran up to Lilliana. He looked furious.

"Look what you did." he spoke with restrain in his voice. His eyes were black.

"It was an accident." hissed Lilliana.

"Jasper it was my fault. I bumped into her." Jacob tried to defend Lilliana.

"I can clean it." Lilliana tried wiping the smudge.

"You're making it worse." hissed Jasper. He was immediately flung back. No doubt courtesy of Jose. Jose ran to Lilliana crouched down infront of Lilliana. Jasper came running back. Alice dashed infront of Jasper facing him.

"Jasper, it's just a stain. It can be removed." Alice tried to calm him down.

"She shouldn't even be wearing it. She's always making messes."

"Jasper that is enough." I stood up and placed my hand on Jose's shoulder, pulling him up slowly. He was still tense, but I took him allowing me to touch him as a sign he would really harm us. He was only angry at Jasper and so was I.

"Stop rubbing that stain, you're not helping." hissed Jasper.

"At least I don't have a stick up my ass!" yelled Lilliana. I was taken back a bit. We'd discuss that vulgar language later. "Here. Take it. It's not even that pretty." Lilliana took her shirt off, revealing a thin tanktop underneath. She flung the shirt at Jasper and ran inside. This girl loves to run away.

Alice's POV

Lilliana ran in the house. Jose followed, along with Rosalie and Emmett. I turned to Jasper ready to yell at him, but stopped. He held the shirt to his heart with such pain in his eyes.

"Karla." he whispered.

Emmett"s POV

Rosalie had Lilliana on her lap. She was crying again.

"Explain to me again, why I'm not allowed to go out there and kick his ass?" Jose clenched hist fist. I wasn't too sure either. Rosalie had just said that it wasn't entirely Jasper's fault for his reaction. Although he could have toned it down. Lilliana is just a child for goodness sakes.

"Because I said so. Look Jasper will come in soon and apologize for being so mean to Lillian." explained Rosalie.

"I don't want that bastard around her again." hissed Jose.

"Watch your language." scolded Rosalie. Jose looked surprise but went back to calling Jasper more bad names under his breath.

"I didn't mean it." cried Lilliana.

"Mean what?" I asked.

"I do think the shirt was pretty. I didn't mean to throw it either. I didn't I wasn't supposed to wear it. Why was Jasper so mad about the shirt? It's not like he can wear it. He's too fat." Lilliana sniffled. It took every ounce of will power not to laugh at what she had said.

"The shirt is special to me. So are those pants." Jasper walked in with Alice behind him. Jose hissed and stood up.

"Sit back down. Now." commanded Rosalie. Surprisingly, Jose obeyed.

"You want me to take off my pants?" Lilliana asked. Jasper chuckled.

"No. I came to explain my behavior." Jasper sat down next to me. He had the shirt in his hand. "Lilliana, the reason I got so mad, was because this shirt, those pants...belonged to some dear to me."

"Who?" Lilliana asked curiously, sitting up. Jasper sighed.

"My daughter."

BTW: No Lilliana is not Karla. I've been asked that a lot. lol
