"Are we there yet?!" Eddie groans.

"Almost, Edison. Now keep your mouth shut, your not setting a very good example for the kids." I scold.

"We aren't kids!" Emerson calls from the backseat.

"Are you a teenager yet?" Eddie imposes.

"In about two weeks." Eric shoots. I smirk.

"You're still twelve-kids." Emerson rolls her eyes.

"Where are we going anyways?" Eric whines.

"To Aunt Nina's Memorial Day party." I answer.

"What's Memorial Day again?" He asks.

"Some retarded holiday for Americans." Emerson chuckles. I laugh.

"You know you're half American, right?" Eddie chimes. I roll my eyes.

"Maybe, but our accents say otherwise." Emerson smirks.

"Let's just get to the party." Eddie groans.

"Alright? Everyone remember their rules?" Eddie instructs. I sigh.

"Yes dad. No talking to boys, no looking at boys, no thinking about boys." Emerson rolls her green orbs.

"Correct. Now go have fun. Wait! What are you wearing?"

"Bye dad!" She calls skipping off.

"Girls..." Eric responds shaking his head.

"She cannot be dressing like that she's only twelve!" Eddie panics.

"Exactly. Twelve, not two. She dresses like all twelve year olds." I scoff, walking away.

"Mum?" Emerson asks.

"Yes Em?"

"Have you seen Ana or Adelia?" Ah, Ana and Adelia, two of her best friends. Also Amber and Alfie's kids, also twins. Plus there's Sarah, Noah, and Caiden, for Nina and Fabian.

"Nope, sorry. Did you check inside?"

"Good idea. Thanks mum." She replies, her long light brown flowing behind her. I smile. I never thought that Eddie and I would make it this far. Did I mention we got engaged at seventeen? Our parents were totally against it, but since when do we care what they think?

"Yacker! Yacker c'mere!" Eddie calls.

"What?"

"I saw Em talking to a boy." He spat. I chuckle.

"So? You can't exactly protect her from the big bad world of boys."

"Patricia! So not helping here!"

"We'll if you're wondering, she was talking to Noah. Ya know, her cousin pretty much?" I say, walking off, leaving his mouth in the form of an 'o.'

Eh, sorry if this is bad. I was going for the whole overprotective dad thing... This is how my dad is... So, happy Memorial Day is you're in America! I'm just eating all day. Whoo. Question:

Do any of you play sports?

Me, not really... I rollerblade. For fun. In my backyard. XD. But I want to be an archer, and I'm on the waiting list for a program, so... Review!
