The ride home was silent; they can't just walk back into my life and expect to pick things up where we left. Besides you can't be too careful anymore.
When we arrived home I sent my babies to bed, well they weren't babies actually, they were forty-nine years old but they're still my babies and I won't let anyone hurt them. I headed up to their rooms to tuck them in, I know it wasn't necessary but it was something I enjoyed. I tucked Emma in and then went next door to Adrian's rooms to do the same for him when he sprung an unexpected question, well more like statement to me. "That was him wasn't it?" said Adrian in a pained voice.
"Who?" I asked even though I knew who he was talking about.
"Our dad, the guy who broke your heart with the bitchy girlfriend" I would have, under normal circumstances cut him off for swearing but I must say I do agree.
"Yeah, that's him." I said wistfully remembering the good times Edward and I shared.
"Don't go there mum," Adrian said, that's one of the main reasons I loved my son; he seemed to be able to read my mind without trying. That wasn't even his power. "He's not worth the pain."
I smiled at him and I leant in to kiss forehead, I bid him goodnight and left his room.
*Flashback*
"Mommy?" Emma asked
"Yeah baby?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure sweetie"
"Umm, actually don't worry, forget I said anything." She said although I could see something was really bothering her I let the subject drop.
Five minutes later she tried again; "Mommy?"
I turned to face lift her and put her on the kitchen counter. "Emma what's bothering you?" I asked concerned by her peculiar behaviour
Her answer, well more like question felt as if someone has driven a stake through my heart numerous times.
"Do we have a dad?" she asked hesitantly
Her question also caught her brother's attention as his head snapped up at her question and his emerald eyes were wide with disbelief and curiosity; I'm guessing they'd both been wanting to ask this question for a while now but didn't know how to go about it.
"Guys, come here," I said as I led them both to the living room, I sat them down and told the truth, well the censored truth considering they were only eight years old, of what happened between Edward and I.
"Daddy, doesn't want us?" Emma asked tearfully
"No he doesn't" deserve us."Adrian replied. I loved my son although he was the younger one of the twins he was always trying to protect his sister and myself.
"That's right buddy, we're better off without him."
Later that night I went in to say goodnight to Emma when I found her on her knees her eyes closed in concentration.
"Dear God,
Please let my daddy know that I love and miss him, even if he doesn't love me I'll always love him and I know mummy still loves him too. I can tell she misses him. Daddy if you can hear me please come home so we a proper family.
Amen."
That broke my heart, we were never religious people but for Emma to turn to God means that she really wants her father.
I hate Edward Cullen. For ruining my life. For leaving my kids without a father.
Morning came quicker than expected. Of course I was making Adrian and Emma go to school even though they had begged me over and over to stay home.
APOV (Adrian)
The sun was shining, skies were a clear blue. Mom, Emma, Josh and I were having a picnic which was odd considering Mum didn't eat. And then the strangest thing happened; the grass started shaking, as if someone was jumping up and down on a bed...
"Wakey, Wakey, brother dear..." Emma's voice trailed off as I threw my pillow over my head. But that only made y energetic sister jump up and down n my bed even more. I just pulled my hand out to grab her leg and throw her on her back. She finally gave up and decided to involve mum.
"Adrian get up now or I'll be forced to get the bucket." Mum's voice drifted up the twin staircase, I jumped out of bed as soon as I heard I heard the word bucket as I knew my mother better than to hope she would stop at threat.
School again, teachers hating us for being smarter than them, girls practically throwing themselves at me and the one I absolutely detested was boys undressing my sister and mother, when she did come to school with us, with their eyes, I really had to fight the monster in and not rip their pathetic heads off.
After we had breakfast Emma and I headed off to school in my metallic silver Ascari KZ1, jeez I loved my mum; she got for it me on my birthday last year.
As if my car didn't attract enough attention what Emma was wearing got even more attention that I enjoyed, she was wearing what any brother would hate their sister, whether they be younger or older, to be seen in; she was wearing a plain white silk tank top, destroyed cuffed shorts, Jimmy Choo Cosmic suede pumps, a Fletcher cove, a natural shade of pink-like eye shadow and to top it all off she was wearing bright red lipstick.
I was attracting as much attention from the girls as Emma was from the boys, but what I was wearing was much simpler; a denim jeans, an Abercrombie and Fitch tee and a pair of Nikes. We both managed to earn glares from several people; the girls were sending Emma venomous glares, not that they bother her and vice versa for me.
"Hello, I'm Adrian Swan and this is my twin Emma and were new here." I said in a charming but not to charming voice; I really wasn't pretty when teachers, especially older ones, fantasized about you. I could this woman was going to be a problem. Mrs J. Newton.
"Excuse me but are you by any chance related to Isabella Swan?" she asked. So this woman knew mom, maybe in her human life as she hadn't used her real name once as she feared people might recognize her although with her powers we all knew it was impossible.
"Umm yeah she's our aunt, you know her?" replied Emma in an I'm-not-really-bothered-voice but I could hear the under lying nerves there.
"Oh right how is she? Did she ever get marries? I mean no offence to you or her but we never thought she'd get over this boy who dumped her in senior year. And in reality he was too good for her." She muttered the last bit under her breath obviously thinking we wouldn't hear her; I mean we didn't have vampire hearing but it was still better than human hearing.
I was really offended by her thinking my mum wasn't good enough for Edward Cullen, I mentally sneered at his name. So I decided to make her annoyed by bragging about our mum.
"Yes she fine, actually she went to Harvard and graduated from Harvard with a masters in Psychology, she met her husband there and they now have two kids who are both starting their degrees at Harvard also, one's doing medicine and the other one's doing law." I said leaving her gobsmacked. I could tell Emma had a smug smile on her face too; she was also offended by her comment.
"Our schedules please." Emma said. That seemed to snap her out of her trance as she started fiddling around with papers.
We walked out of her office and surprise, surprise people were looking at us.
"I heard they're really actors." One girl said to her friend.
"I wonder if she'd go out with me."
"She's gonna me mine in no time, I bet she flexible 'cause then she could bend..." it was thoughts like these that for the sake of my sanity and the owners life.
"They're as rich as the Cullens." Both Emma's and my head snapped up at the mention of their names. I guess it is possible but out any other school in the world they chose this one. Oh well there's nothing we can do now and I could see Emma's thoughts were along the same line.

"Ok so we have English, Gym, break and lunch together. I think we're swimming in gym." Emma said still reading her time table.
"Yeah," I replied "at the lunch meet me I the canteen (An: / Canteen/Cafeteria whatever you call it) and then at the end of the day wait by the car yeah?"
She simply nodded in response. I hugged her and much to her dismay kissed her check and then we went our separate ways.
Emma POV
Oh joy, school again. Having graduated high school seven times, gotten a masters degree in Law, Medicine, Dance and Art there wasn't much more a person could learn.
Vampire.
That was a scent a could pick out under water. I walked into Spanish and saw the little black haired girl who strangely resembled a pixie.
I ignored her and went over to the teacher's desk, I could tell that Mrs Jakeman and I were not going to get along due to her snobby attitude and how she seemed looked down on everyone. She asked, well more like snapped in her nasal voice.
"Full name, where you moved from, any languages you speak and favourite book." She snapped
"Hi, my name is Emmaculate Renesmee Alice Lillian Swan, my friends call me Emm, no matter what my brother says call me sponge bob and you die. I just moved here from Boston, Massachusetts. I speak French, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, and German. Oh and English. And err my favourite books are, the perks of being a wall flower by Stephen Chobsky and I'm watching you by Karen Rose. (AN:/ they are really great books and I strongly recommend them.)
At this point both my class mates and teacher were gawking at me in awe, all except for the pixie like girl who was still looking at me, but not gawking like the other instead she was looking at me with a frustrated expression on her face, as if she was trying really hard to remember something.
"oh well that's nice Ms Swan, in fact Ms Cullen here is also from America, which part of America are from again Ms Cullen." She asked the pixie. I wondered where I recognized her name from; my memory was good but not that good. I knew I'd heard her surname somewhere but where was the question.
"Originally I'm from Biloxi, Mississippi but I lived in Denver before we moved her." She answered although I could tell she was still distracted. I nodded and smiled. I was told to sit next the pixie Cullen seeing as the seat next to her was the only one available.
"Hi," she whispered just as I had started listening, even though I didn't need to, "my name's Alice and you are obviously Emma. If you don't mind me asking how do you know Bella?"
"Why?" I asked carefully.
"Because she's my best friend I'd hate to lose her because of some stupid mistake my brother made years ago. And how do you have a heart beat?"
"Correction; Josh is her best friend." I saw her face change from curiosity to pain, immense pain. "And it's a long story, maybe I'll tell you some other time." She just smiled but I could see me telling her about mom and Josh being best friends really hurt her. It hurt me too; Josh had always been almost like my dad, he was when we were growing up and he's always been there for mom, whether or not they we're together and I don't know why they broke up but I want them to get back together. I love him on the other hand Chad is a complete asshole. Mom didn't want us to say that kind stuff about anyone but I knew that she knew it was true, she only went out with him because she was forced to by her managers. I mean he can alright at times but he's arrogant, vein, a smart ass and if got on my bad side again I'd stick his head where the sun don't shine. He was a man so automatically though he was older than me but him being human and me being half-vampire really turned tables in my favour.
I was drowning in my own thoughts long enough that I didn't even hear the bells ring signalling the end of period 1.
"What do you have next?" Alice asked.
I checked my timetable and answered, "Geography, Mr Conroy.) (AN:/ I really hate the Irish idiot at the moment (no pun intended) ; he's making me redo my essayS way too l spent 6 painful hours on those combined, I also have and English and history essay, so screw him! I'm not doing them again; screw "What happened in Haiti". Ugh.)
"Oh, well I have history with Mr Hazzard so see you later; you wanna sit with us at break and lunch?" she asked hopefully.
"Err I'll talk to my brother and then we'll see yeah?"
I started to make my way to geography.
Aidan POV
2nd Period, Biology. Didn't seem so bad, until I smelt vampires.
I walked into see the big Cullen staring, no staring would be an understatement, and he was glaring at me. This was going to be a long lesson.
