Bella's POV

*Sixteen Years Later*

"Matthew! Will you stop banging on the counter!" I scolded as I rushed to make lunch.

"Geez, take a chill pill mother." Matthew said sticking his drum sticks in the back of his jeans.

"Watch how you talk to your mother." Edward said as he walked in the room.

"Whatever." Matthew said before walking out of the kitchen.

"I swear he has an attitude!" I said.

"He's a teenager love." Edward said.

"I know." I said.

"How are you doing?"

"Ugh, I have to make five sandwiches, five apples, juices, and put them all in paper bags in less then twenty minutes so the kids wont be late for school!" I said quickly.

"I'll help." Edward told me.

The twins were now sixteen and as moody as ever, the triplets were fifteen and thankfully not all moody yet. Edward had turned me into a vampire shortly after the triplets were born and after Christmas. He wanted to wait until the kids were grown up but I told them that I refused to wait any longer, I was already a year older then him and that was bad enough. The kids knew that we were vampires, we had to tell them there was no other way around it, of course the twins jumped at the idea of being immortal. Edward put his foot down and refused to do that to them, but I knew he would break sooner or later. The only problem I had with his suggestion of waiting until they were eighteen was that we would look like their brother and sister and that was strange. My hands quickly shoved the food in bags and rolled the top down, all the kids came in and grabbed them.

"Have a good day!" I shouted as Emily slammed the back door.

I sighed and leaned against the counter, I felt tired even though I was a vampire, Edward wrapped his arms around me. I laid my head on his chest as he rocked side to side, I smiled while looking up at him, I placed a soft kiss on his lips.

"Where is everyone?" I asked.

"Alice is shopping, Jasper was dragged along, Rosalie and Emmett are picking Sarah up from day care and Carlisle and Esme are hunting." Edward said.

"Poor Jasper." I said.

He laughed.

"Okay, cleaning time." I said grabbing a hand towel.

"Your so busy all the time, cant you take a break." Edward said nibbling on my neck.

"Edward, I don't know if you've caught on yet but I am a mother of five... There is no break time, even for vampires." I said pushing him away slowly and wiping the counter clean.

He sighed watched me clean, I walked into the laundry room to find a nice big pile waiting for me. I groaned as I leaned against the wall, I took a deep breath in and out before starting to sort through everything. My children were old enough to do their own laundry yet they still make me do it, I held up one of Matthew's shirt and smelled it. I sighed while mumbling something about it being clean before tossing it on the dryer, Edward leaned against the door frame watching me with a smile on his face. I knew he was enjoying just watching me, he always did this and claimed that he wasn't staring at my butt the whole time. I turned the dial to the washer and started the first load, I squeezed past Edward and walked into the living room. It was a mess also, does it ever end? I told them that this was not a house they could trash and not pick up, Carlisle and Esme worked hard on this and I didn't care how many times they said we were fine. I picked up all the dishes and walked into the kitchen before putting them all in the right side of the sink, I filled the left side with soapy water and let it run. I stopped the water and washed the dishes, I dried and put them in the correct places. I walked into the living room and grabbed the remote, I walked over to the couch and turned the TV on as I fell on the couch.

*A Few Hours Later*

"Hey mom." Matthew said as he and Madison walked in the front door.

"Hey, where are the others?" I asked.

"They stayed after for help." He said.

"Oh." I said.

"Mom, can I ask you and dad a question?" He asked.

I looked at Edward who was sitting by me, "Sure."

"Well, Madison and I are suppose to do a project in Biology and we were wondering, why don't we look like dad?" He asked.

I closed my eyes, I knew this day was going to come sooner or later, I was just praying on later.

"Well..." I said as Edward rubbed my back. "It's a long story."

The whole family, including the triplets, came in and sat down. It made me more nervous, I've never really shared the story with anyone, even Edward. I looked around the room before take a deep breath in and letting it out slowly.

"Okay, this is going to be hard on your mother to tell, so just be patient." Edward said.

Madison and Matthew nodded.

"One day, I was at a little book store in Port Angeles and I picked out a nice book it was a love novel sort of like Romeo and Juliet. Anyway, there was this guy who kept staring at me, he was tall with blond hair and blue eyes. I went to go read a little before heading back to Forks, the only table there was free was the one he sat at. So I sat down and started reading, I don't think I got past the first sentence before I felt his eyes staring at me. I wasn't paying any attention to my book anymore I kept glancing at him through my hair, I did that until the person who worked their told us it was time to go."

I paused to look at everyone, they were all listening.

"Anyway, I was standing under the closest street light searching for my keys when I was grabbed from behind. I didn't know who it was or why they were dragging me into the dark alley, I was thrown to the ground. When I looked up to see who it was I recognized him as the guy who was staring at me in the book shop. I wont go into full detail of what he did to me, I don't think you kids should hear that. He raped me, he took the one thing that your father and I had in common, I'm sure you know what that was..."

Madison and Matthew were shocked, they looked at me for a few minutes.

"Wow, that's horrible!" Madison said after a while.

I looked at my feet, Edward looked over at me.

"Is there more?" Matthew asked.

"Yes." I said slowly.

"But she isn't going to tell you, homework time." Edward said.

"Aw man! Come on dad, let us finish hearing the story!"

"No! Homework, go!" He ordered.

I got up off the couch slowly and walked outside, it was pouring rain out but I didn't care. I sat down on the porch and folded my hands on my lap, I looked at the ground, the one thing I hated about being a vampire was that you couldn't cry, or anything. I heard the front door open and close before someone sat down next to me, I didn't need to look to know who it was, I scooted over before laying on my back as I laid my head in Edward's chest. I looked up at him and our eyes met, I smiled a little as he stroked my hair. I looked up at the roof that was over the porch, I let out a dry sob as I closed my eyes, I haven't talked about the rape since it happened. Edward picked me up in his arms slowly, I hid my face in his neck as he rubbed my back.

"Sh, it's okay." He told me.

I wanted tears to pour from my eyes, but it wasn't possible, not anymore. After a few minutes of just sitting there with Edward holding me in his arms I sat up slowly. He held on to my waist holding me in his lap, I brushed the hair out of my face and tucked it behind my ears. Edward leaned forward and kissed the side of my mouth, I smiled before turning around so that I was facing him. I looked in his eyes before kissing him on the lips, our lips moved with each others as I placed my hands on his face. We broke apart slowly and looked in each others eyes, he smiled before placing a kiss on my forehead. We stood up slowly and walked into the house hand in hand, I pushed the kitchen door open while Edward followed me. We didn't realize that the kids were all sitting at the table doing their homework, I was planning on making dinner when Edward started to kiss my neck. I smiled as I tried to open a can of tuna, he bit down on my neck and the can opener fell from my hands, I grabbed onto the counter with my eyes closed. I heard him chuckle from behind me as he closed the space between us, my head was screaming at him to stop but my body had other plans. I finally got up enough strength to push him away, he stood there looking at me confused.

"Did I do something wrong?" He asked.

"Yes." I said.

"I did?"

"I mean no, you were perfect but I have to get supper started."

"Bella, you are so busy all the time." He complained.

"Um, yeah... We do have five children."

"All capable of doing things for themselves."

"Why do I have a feeling all you want to do is sleep with me?"

"Because I do."

"Edward, we just did it last night, you will be fine for a little while longer." I said smiling.

"Ugh." He said covering his face.

"I know I am evil but I have to start supper."

"Okay..."

"I love you."

"I guess I love you too." He said before leaving.

I laughed as I worked on cooking dinner for the kids, I walked over and turned on the radio, a guitar and piano filled the room. It didn't take me long to realize that it was the song Edward and I danced to for the wedding, I smiled as I leaned against the counter and looked at the floor. I didn't know Edward was standing against the wall watching me, I heard someone start to sing with the song softly.

"All I am, all I'll be
Everything in this world, all that I'll ever need
Is in your eyes, shining at me
When you smile I can feel all my passion unfolding

Your hand brushes mine
And a thousand sensations seduce me 'cause I

I do, cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will, love you still, from the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much, I do."

I looked up to see Edward walking over to me, I smiled as he took me in his arms, we started to dance slowly to the song as he continued to sing with it. I laid my head on his shoulder, his hands moved down to my waist as we danced. The song finally came to an end, I looked up in his eyes and kissed his lips, my life had changed these past couple of years. But I was beyond ready and excited to live my new life, with my husband, my kids and my family...

Sorry it's so short! I just wanted to get it up so you don't think that I gave up on the idea! Also, I am sorry for skipping all the years so that the twins are 16 and the triplets are 15! I hope you liked it! Review and tell me if I did a horrible job or not!
