Chapter 9: A Family Found
After we had calmed down from our stupor, we moved the discussion into the dining room, the very room that the Cullens had decided to let us into their family, their home. We took seats around the table, with a few exceptions because of the fact that there were not enough seats for everyone.
"We're not intruding are we?" We questioned. Although we were grateful that they were willing to let us join the family, we didn't want to break up what they already had. As Dany, George and I looked around the room, the faces looking at us showed us that we were saying something stupid, evidently, their emotions portrayed the same thing. Jasper was the one who spoke up.
"Of course you are not." He assured us. Jasper and I Rosalie were still the very, tiniest bit hesitant, but they none the less accepted us as one of them.
"What about Renesmee and Jacob?" I asked.
"Renesmee has already made it quite clear that you are willing to be like us, and she seems to have no problems with you three. Jacob has expressed a slight disapproval at the possible idea of there being more of us. But, he seemed to be alright with you three before they left. I wouldn't worry about him if I were you." I nodded at Edward as he spoke, but maybe I should do something first before it was official.
"May I call her?" I asked.
"I don't see why not." Edward told me, as he handed me his phone. I heard Alice mutter, "I can't see full stop." I tried to hold back my laughter, but she could hear the air trying to break free. She scowled at me.
The phone was already ringing. I prayed that I didn't wake her, I wouldn't want an angry, sleepy hybrid on my tail.
"Dad? What is it?" She asked, uh oh, she thought we had already did something wrong.
"No, sorry, it's me, Antony."
"Oh…Hello Antony." She greeted me slowly, still thinking we did something.
"I just wanted to ask you if it would be okay if we, Daniella, George and I joined your family. They had a meeting after you and Jacob left, so they didn't have time to discuss it with you." I heard her release a breath of relief as I talked about the situation.
"You're just like my family and myself, so yes, I would be okay with it." She declared.
Sister I thought Could I…no, we be adopted into the Cullen family? I caught a glimpse of Edward nodding, not even trying to conceal it.
You would want Bella and me to adopt you? He asked, bewildered.
I like you two, and plus, I don't know about this but, I feel like I know you already. I admitted.
Like in a human memory, or just a feeling? He inquired.
I don't have any human memories remember, so it could be either, but I am leaning towards the feeling, rather than the memory. I mentally told him.
Alice and Dany were getting on like a house on fire, or more like a vampire on fire! I started laughing, catching the attention of the others. They must think that I am crazy! Don't act crazy, don't act crazy I kept telling myself. To my surprise, Edward was laughing too.
"Uhh… I am going to hate this!" Emmett groaned.
"Em, we have lived with Edward and Alice for years, it is nearly the same thing." Rosalie scalded him.
"Nearly." Emmett muttered.
"What were you two laughing about anyway?" Esme seemed just as curious. How can I deny my new grandmother information she wanted.
"I just thought that Alice and Dany were getting on like a house, no, a vampire on fire." I fought the urge to laugh. There were a few giggles however, that escaped from my mouth. With the interests that Dany and Alice shared, I thought that there must be something that George and Emmett shared besides talking about sport… That made me remember Emmett's errant thought that passed through his head when we first met them. Wrestling.
"Emmett?" I tried to capture the attention of Emmett, but because of his stubborn nature, he just tried to tune me out.
"Okay then… I won't tell you that George likes to wrestle and fight, he and I do it often but, seeing as though you aren't talking to me, I'm not going to say anything." I said quietly with mock scorn. As I expected, his head snapped up to meet my glare, I could see a glimmer of mischief in his eyes.
"Really?" Wow, he sure perked up in an instance.
"Yeah, we could have a tag team match. You and George, me and Uncle Jasper." …Woops. Did I really just say that?!
"Uncle Jasper?" He inquired, turning to Edward.
"Bella and I need a moment alone to discuss some things." Edward stated, Bella looked at him in wonder, but didn't say anything as they left the house to have a private discussion.
I ended up playing some video game with Emmett. I couldn't tell you which because it was all a new experience to me. Heck! I am about 120 years old for crying out loud! I never interacted with humans, so how did I know that they did things like this. I lost to Emmett every single time though, which brought him more and more out of his childish strop.
Bella and Edward entered as I was halfway through another game with Emmett.
"I will beat you!" I growled at him. He replied with a smirk and a usual (now) remark of, "Yeah, I would like to see you try little dude." That always got on my nerves.
"I am not little! And didn't anybody teach you to respect your elders." I chastised him. Oh yeah! I forgot that they didn't even know how old we were.
"Wait… how old are you?" Emmett interrogated.
"I estimate myself at 120 years old." I replied hesitantly. Prepare for the onslaught of 'funny' remarks.
"How old are the others?" He continued. I looked to see where the others were, Alice and Dany had disappeared upstairs towards her bedroom I believed, fashion most likely. George was too busy talking to Jasper about the plans for our tag team match. It looked like I had to answer Uncle Emmett.
"Dany is 76, and George is 78." I told him.
"Wow…" Was Emmett's response.
"Everyone, we would like to talk to you, and that includes Daniella and George." Edward and Bella announced. Everyone gathered into the living room, a grin on Alice's face, I didn't need her gift to tell me what was going to be said.
"We are going to adopt Antony." Bella clarified. She looked down at me next to Emmett, and she saw the shimmer in my eyes, if I was human, I would have cried at what she had just said.
"Wha… I don't kno… Really?" I stammered.
"Yes." Just that one word made my frozen heart jump (metaphorically of course!).
"Dibs on Dany!" Alice yelled in girlish delight. Jasper smiled, adoration written all over his face.
"We have George then Rose!" Emmett announced. At his words, Rosalie's thoughts turned to human wants and desires. She wanted a child to call her own. This wasn't exactly it, but she smiled at the alternative offered to her. This was the final part of the jig-saw put in place. We had a family, I couldn't help but think that this was our fate. Edward smiled at me as he listened to my wayward thoughts.
