Our kids were definitely and interesting bunch. As they had grown older they had all become extremely close. Some maybe a little too close if you ask me.
My children, Anthony and Kira have grown into two very gorgeous children. Kira was now 17 along with Tom (Rose and Emmett's son) and Jake (Alice and Jasper's son). Anthony was now 16 along with Sarah, Lilly (Rose and Em's girls) and Katie (Ali and Jazz's daughter).
Kira and Jake had become very close and I know that they both have the biggest crush on each other. It kind of reminds me of Edward and me when we were younger. (AN: No they are not cousins… Remember Edward is a Masen and Bella is a Swan. Only Rose and Em and Alice and Jazz's kids are cousins) Edward and Jasper though, are not too happy about it, being the overprotective fathers they are.
Anthony (AJ, that's what everyone calls him) and Lilly have also become extremely close and it seems as if everyone knows they like each other, except for them.
Today we were going to have our annual family gathering along with our annual football match. Today was one of those rare sunny days and I was extremely excited. That meant swimming! Edward was still asleep and was snoring lightly. He still looked as gorgeous as ever and looked as if he hadn't aged a bit. I pushed myself up on my elbows and pushed him lightly.
"Mmmm" he groaned and I laughed
"Edward get up, we have to get ready"
"5 minutes" he said and I laughed
"Come on you old man, get up" he laughed and opened his emerald eyes. I kissed his cheek messed up his messier than usual bronze hair.
"I'm up, I'm up" he said rubbing his eyes. I laughed and got up out of bed. I walked out the room and down the hall. I knocked on Anthony's door and walked in. He was sprawled out across his bed with the covers half way off the bed.
"Anthony, time to get up" I said and he groaned
"Sweetie, you have to get up were going over to the Cullen's for the day, Remember"
He opened his eyes and rubbed them. He looks more and more like his father every day.
"Crap" he said getting out of bed He walked over to his wardrobe and started looking through.
"Mum! I'm getting dressed!" he said pushing me out the door. I put my hands up as if I was surrendering and walked out shutting the door behind me. I heard him groaning as he tried to find a decent shirt.
I walked down the hall a little more to Kira's room. To find her already up, changed and on the computer. She then got up and walked over to her big mirror and started fiddling with her hair, deciding how to wear it.
"You know you look fine the way you are" I said and she jumped.
"Mum" she groaned
"What! There is no need for you to change the way you look for him, he likes you the way you are"
"I don't know what your talking about" she said and I rolled my eyes
"Sure sure" I walked out and heard her shut the door again. I walked back into my room and saw Edward taking off his shirt.
"Hellooo" I said whistling and he laughed.
"EWWW mum seriously" I heard Anthony say from outside our door. I heard him walk downstairs and Edward laughed.
"So embarrassing" I heard Kira mumble from her room. Edward and I rolled our eyes and he smiled.
"Well, you know I do workout" he said and I smiled. I loved how we were still as tight and silly as ever, no matter how old we were.
I punched his arm and walked over to the closet to get ready.
When everyone was ready we got into the car and set off toward Emmett and Rose's place. We pulled into their driveway and were greeted by everyone, seems like we were last here.
When I got out of the car I was pulled into my favourite teddy bear hug.
"Emmett"
"Hey squirt, how are you guys" he put my down and shook Edwards hand.
"Hey, yeah were not too bad, what about you guys?"
"Yeah not too bad" he said "There they are" Emmett said walking over to our kids while we greeted the others. Everyone was still the same, Emmett was still the crazy old prankster, Rose was still unbelievably gorgeous, Alice was still the perky pixie, Jasper was still the same old Jasper and well I was still the same plain old nerdy, booklover.
KPOV (Kira)
I put my ipod back in my bag and got out of the car. My parents were greeted by Emmett and we were greeted by Alice, Jasper and Rose.
"Hey sweeties" Alice said kissing all our foreheads. We hugged and kissed Jasper, Rose and Emmett and walked into the house.
"There all in the backyard" Rose called out to us and we headed through the large house to the backyard. The boys were chucking the ball on the grass and the girls were sitting laughing and talking.
"Hey" the girls said when they saw us
"Hey" AJ and I said
Jake turned to look at us and I blushed. He smiled at me and waved.
"Jay watch-"
"Ow" he said as the ball hit him in the face. He fell to the ground in shock and I ran over to him.
"Are you ok?" I asked. He rubbed the side of his face and looked at me.
"Fine" he said smiling. I held out my hand and he took it.
"Thanks" he said running his hand through his messy brown hair.
"No worries" I said
"Eye on the ball mate" Tom said laughing. Jake pushed him lightly and I blushed even more. Stupid blushing, I looked away and started walking over to my girls.
APOV (Anthony)
I saw Jake get hit by the ball and my sister run over to him.
"Ok that was pretty funny" Lilly said from beside me. I turned and saw her laughing at the scene in front of us.
She ran a hand through her blonde hair and I looked at the ground. Focus bro, focus.
"So you wanna go swimming at the lake again?" she asked.
"Uh, hells yeah" I said
"Awesome, we better go tell the parents though" she said and I nodded.
"Mum, Dad" I said
"Yes" Dad said
"Uh, were going down to the lake, we'll be back soon"
"Ok, is everyone else going" Rosalie asked us
"No just us" Lilly said
"Oh well, we'll come with you"
"Uh, no it's alright mum, we'll be fine" Lilly said looking at me.
"Ok, well have fun" Rosalie said and we walked off.
"Race ya" she said and I ran after her. She was actually really fast and probably the most athletic out of all the girls, after all she did play representative netball. I still beat her there though and she rolled her eyes.
"What happened to letting the girl win?" She said
"You would kick my butt if I did" I said and she laughed
"True true" she said "You know me too well" she said and I laughed
"Want to swing?" I asked
"Of course!" she said laughing
I pulled of my shirt considering I had no swimmers. I took of my shoes and socks and climbed up the tree. I saw Lilly take of her clothes so she was left in a bikini. She followed me up the tree and stood next to me. I grabbed the rope and jumped out of the tree. I let go of the rope and landed in the water. I shook my head getting the water out of my eyes. I grabbed the rope and brought it to her.
"Why thankyou" she said before jumping out and into the water.

We sat around the big table and started talking while the kids were out hanging by the pool talking. I was holding hands with Edward and kissed him on the cheek.
"So what have you guys been up to lately? We haven't talked in forever!" Emmett said
"Dude, we talked to you two nights ago" Jasper said laughing
"That is still a long time" he said and we all laughed
We all laughed and he shrugged. Rosalie kissed his cheek and he pulled her onto his lap.
We heard the kids crack up and we all laughed.
"Just like us" Bella said
Everyone laughed at the memories.
"Looks like we have a problem" Jasper said looking towards the pool. We all looked over and saw my daughter leaning on Jake's shoulder. Not my little girl! Not just yet!
I looked at Jasper and he nodded. We both got up and walked over.
"Edward" I heard Bella whisper from behind me
"Hey Kids" Jasper said leaning on the pool gate
"Hey" they all said. Kira and Jake broke apart and they both glared at us.
"What you guys doing?" I asked
"Not much just talking" Tom said
"Hey, you guys wanna go swimming before lunch?" they all nodded and ran inside the house to get changed. Jasper and I smiled at each other and subtly touched knuckles.
Kira walked past me and rolled her eyes.
"What?" I asked. She huffed and ran inside.
KPOV
Dammit, Dammit, Dammit, Dammit! I thought as I ran inside. I cannot believe my dad just did that! Arrgghh! I was finally getting somewhere with Jake. Anthony and Lilly walked in drenched.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked noticing my pissed off facial expression.
"Our father is an overprotective and idiotic … agghhh" I said as I stormed up the stairs. Of course that wasn't really true; I mean I loved my dad to bits…but…UGHHH!
I got changed into my bikini and walked back downstairs. I could hear everyone in the pool, especially Emmett.
I saw my parents making out in the corner and I groaned. AJ looked at me and rolled his eyes. I laughed and before I knew it I was in the water. I looked behind me and saw Sarah standing there.
"Sarah!" I screamed. She laughed and jumped in next to me.
We laughed at each other and she hugged me. Sarah and I were very close.
BPOV
Everyone was in the pool now and there was a lot of splashing. Edward picked me up above his head and I screamed.
"Put me down Edward" I said and he laughed
"Sorry Bella" he said before chucking me into the water
I came up for air and wiped my eyes.
"EDWARD" he laughed at me and Emmett dunked me. I swam out from under him and hit him on the arm.
"Ok enough attacking Bella" I swam over to the step and sat next to Alice and Rose.
JPOV (Jake)
I started shooting water at Tom and Anthony with my water pistol. Childish we know, but were cool that way. We called it truce after a while and chucked our pistols back in the box.
"So my dear cousin, how is Miss Kira?" Tom asked and I groaned
"Tom, quiet" I said, Tom was very loud.
"I know I should be grossed out that it's my sister but, when are you going to grow the balls to ask her out" Anthony said. I groaned and jumped into the pool. So embarrassing!
KPOV
I was swimming around with the girls when I felt someone grab my leg. I screamed and was pulled down under water. I swam up to the surface and came face to face wit those beautiful brown eyes.
"Jake" I gasped "You nearly gave me a heart attack"
He laughed and I looked at his perfect abs. Wow, eyes up Kira eyes up.
Then a huge splash broke us apart.
"Toommmm" I screamed. He picked me up and chucked me into the water. That kid is dead.

"You know guys, the other day I was on the computer"
"Really… no… " Jasper said sarcastically and I laughed.
"Excuse me! No need for sarcasm. Anyways, I was on the computer and I decided to look up the old lodges where we all got together….AND found out that you can actually rent them these days!"
"Really, that's awesome" I said
"We should go, all of us including the kids" Jasper said
"Well, I kind of… already… rented them" he said and we sighed. Why am I surprised?
"For when Emmett" Jasper asked probably thinking the same thing I did
"Next week" he said and we hit him on the back of his head
"Sorry… anyways we leave 10AM sharp! And we have rented it for a week"
Jazz and I nodded in approval. This was actually not a bad idea.
"Sounds good" I said
"Sweet" Jasper agreed
"Problem is, were co sharing it…It's only one family so don't freak out" he said and we rolled our eyes.
"With who exactly" I asked
"Well… The Millers"
"The Millers" Jasper said angrily. The Millers used to go to pre school and Elementary school (AN: American readers did I get that right? I hope so ... if not I'm sorry) with us. They were always in a competition with us; everything we did was a competition. Ever since they had kids it's been worse. I thought the Newtons were horrible, they were nothing compared to Ryan Miller.
