I laid Lily in her crib and went to bed still thinking of the blond from the park.

Two Months Later- March 21

The Swan’s had been in Forks for two months during which Bella and Rose had quickly become my best friends and Jasper the best boyfriend I had ever had. Two weeks after they moved here Edward finally plucked up the courage and asked Bella out. Rose and Bella still hadn’t met Emmett or even Lily but that wasn’t a surprise. Ayden had adopted calling me aunnie Owli and my brother unnel Eddy much to his dislike of that name. We were at lunch, Rose telling us about her newest sighting of the mystery man from the park, or “park guy”, when she got a call from Ayden’s day care telling her he was running a fever and needed to be picked up.

“Rose do you want us to come with?” Bella offered to ditch the last two classes of the day. She looked like it was considering but changed her mind.

“Nah, I got it. I’ll call if I need help or anything.” We waved her goodbye before Bella turned to me.

“Want to ditch, get some chicken noodle soup, and head home to have stuff ready for when she gets back?”

“Definitely!” I agreed then kissed Jasper’s cheek. “I’ll see you later.”

Before heading out I stopped by the attendance office and called in a favor with a family friend to get Bella and I excused from our last classes. I dug out Edward’s Volvo’s spare keys from my purse and drove us to the grocery store. We bought probably way too much soup and sprite. Bella let us into the house and we got to work on the soup and she threw blankets in the dryer so they’d be warm for him.

I heard Rose fiddling with the door and I about scared the living day lights of her when I opened it for her.

“Jesus Alice! You scared me. I thought you were staying at school?” She asked dropping her keys on the tray and following me to the kitchen.

“We were, but we thought it would be nice if Ayden had warm chicken noodle soup and warm blankets waiting for him.” Bella explained ladling the soup into a small bowl for Ayden and three larger ones for us.

“Aw, thanks guys.” We fed Ayden and got him to sleep and sat in the living room talking.

“Rose, tell us more about park guy” Bella insisted turning down the TV volume.

“I saw him today! He either works at the school or goes there.” She told us excitedly.

“Really? Was he coming or going?” I asked trying to figure out who it could be.

“Leaving, it looked like he was in a hurry.” Before she could say anymore Ayden woke up crying. She felt his head and saying it didn’t feel any cooler than before, in fact it might have been warmer. “Guys I don’t think Ayden is getting any better…”

“Let’s take him to my dad.” I suggested. Bella and Rose agreed and we loaded everyone into the trailblazer and went to the hospital to see my dad.

“Hey Alice, what are you doing here?” Wendy, the receptionist asked.

“I need to see my dad.”

“In his office, go on up.” She smiled at us. I knocked once before entering her dad’s office.

“Hey dad, Ayden has this fever that won’t break.” I explained looking at Ayden,

“Al, there’s someone here...” Rose whispered.

“Oh. Sorry.” I apologized.

“It’s fine. I’m done, bring the little guy here and I’ll check him out.” Dad ushered us over to him. Rose sat Ayden down on his desk and unzipped his jacket. A few minutes into the check up my phone rang. I excused my self and answered.

“Hello?”

“You do realize you’ve stranded us at the school right?” Edward asked. I laughed.

“Oops. Call Emmett. We’re at the hospital. We wanted Ayden to see dad.” He sighed.

“Can’t. Lily ran into the sliding glass door so he’s all worried and took her to see him.”

“Is she okay?”

“I haven’t heard anything. Ask dad. Can you pick us up please?”

“Nope, Volvo is at the Swans. We took the trailblazer. Call mom.” He groaned.

“She’s in Seattle.” I laughed again.

“Sucks to be you. I’ll send Bella or someone will be there in a few.” I told him. He groaned but agreed.

I was walking back to the office and about walked into my brother.

“Em, what are- is Lily okay?” I asked remembering what Edward had told me.

“She’s fine; she’s got a nice goose egg on her head but no concussion.”

“Good. Hey can you pick Edward and Jasper up from school…we kind of left them stranded…” He laughed, but declined.

“Can’t. Luke’s picking me up for practice, mom dropped us off and Lily is going with Wendy.”

“Come meet Rose, Bella and Ayden then.” Emmett went back into the office with me.

“Is he going to be okay?” I asked before introductions. To my surprise Bella answered.

“Yeah, Carlisle is giving him some antibiotics but he wants to watch him over night so he invited us to stay over tonight.” I noticed then Rose, Ayden and my dad weren’t in the room.

“Oh, Bell, this is my older brother Emmett, and my niece Lily. Emmett- Bella” I introduced.

“Nice to meet you. Al, can you watch Lily for a minute? I need to run to the bathroom.” I took my niece from my brother making her squeal; he kissed her forehead. “I’ll be right back baby girl. Daddy loves you.”

“Wove you.” She said trying hard to say love. Bella and I were teaching Lily the names of the internal organs when I heard the door open.

“Hey, I can take her back now. Thanks for watching her. It was nice to meet you Bella. I’ll see you guys later.” My brother said reclaiming his daughter.

“Thank you so much Carlisle. I really appreciate this.” I thanked the doctor yet again. He laughed.

“It was really no trouble at all.”

“I’ll be right there; I’m going to take Ayden to the bathroom before we leave.” I stopped at some chairs to dig out a pair of footy pajamas he liked so he could be comfortable and warm. I was trying to balance Ayden on one hip, the bag on my knee and dig it all out so it was no surprise that I dropped everything but Ayden. I groaned and bent down to pick it all up but hit my head against someone else’s.

“Ouch, are you alright?” I heard a beautiful deep voice ask me. I looked up into the brown eyes of park guy.

“I- uh- yeah. Are you?” I stumbled. Real smooth Rose.
“I’m fine. Let me help you with that.” He bent down and picked up everything for me.

“Thanks…uh. Sorry I didn’t catch your name.”He smiled widely showing off his dimples.

“Emmett. And you are?” Emmett…why does that ring a bell?

“Rose. And this is Ayden. Thank you.”

“Hey little guy. I like your jammy’s. Monster trucks were my favourite too.” I smiled when he hid his face in my shoulder.

“He’s a little shy.”

“Yeah, my little girl is too. Are you new around here? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before…” My heart sank. He didn’t remember me, or maybe he just didn’t want to come off stalkerish. I hoped it was the latter.

“Yeah, I moved here two months ago. How old is your daughter?”

“She’s almost two. How about Ayden?”

“Three…do you live in Forks? I’d love for Ayden to have a friend in town?”

“Yeah, that’d be great. Lily stays home with my mom in the day so she doesn’t really know anyone but her aunt and uncle. We should set up a play date sometime.” I smiled.

“Cool, why don’t we exchange numbers and we can set it up for when Ayden isn’t sick anymore?” He smiled wider.

“That sounds like a great idea. Do you have anything to write with or on?” I searched my purse to find the little notebook and pen I had stashed for grocery shopping. After we exchanged numbers we said our good-byes, I changed Ayden into his footies and went back to Carlisle’s office.

“Hey sorry, I wanted to put Ayden in warmer comfortable clothes.” I apologized.

“No problem. Let’s go pick up the guys from the school since we sort of left the stranded…and get clothes for tomorrow. Dad had a patient so he had to go, but he said Jazz could stay over with Ed if he wanted.” Alice said. I laughed at the thought of the guys going out to the parking lot and finding Edward’s precious Volvo gone.

“Sounds like a plan. Some one should call them and let them know we’re on our way.”

“Already did.”

“You’re always one step ahead aren’t you Ali?” She just grinned knowingly.

While they were fully appreciative for the ride, they guys were a bit annoyed for being stranded in the first place.

“Whatever babies. We’re all staying at the Cullens tonight so we have to stop at home and get stuff and leave a note for Charlie. Or call him.” Bella explained to the guys. They glared one another.

“No funny business with my baby sister.” Jasper threatened earning a smack on the back of the head from Bella.

“Thanks for the confidence.”

“Yeah, well same goes for you.” Edward replied ignoring his girlfriend.

“Alright guys. Come on. I know that neither one of you would try anything, it’s common knowledge. So kiss and make up.” I teased.

“Yeah yeah. We’re good.” Jasper mumbled.

Charlie had no problems with us staying over as long as Esme and Carlisle were there and he got a promise from both Jasper and Edward that they’d be sleeping on a different floor from Alice and Bella.

Esme was thrilled to have us all over and made us a big, delicious dinner and then offered to watch Ayden so we could go out.

“That’s so nice of you Esme, but I think we were just going to lounge and watch movies all night.” I declined.

“Okay, well would you kids like popcorn or any snacks?” There were varying degrees of no thank you’s and answers from the five of us.

“So what movie do you guys want to watch?” Alice asked dancing over to the wall that was all shelves of DVDs and VHS.

“I’m good with anything. Ayden’s about to fall asleep so we don’t have to worry about it being appropriate for him.”

“Oh yeah, I’ll go get Lily’s play pen so Ayden can sleep comfortably.” Edward left.

“How about…American Pie?” Alice suggested. After some lovely sibling bickering we agreed on watching Superbad.

We were at the part when McLovin, Michaels and Slater were shooting up the stop sign when I noticed Jasper, Bella and Alice asleep, Edward and I were on our way there, despite that it wasn’t all that late.

“You want to take Ali and Bella up to Al’s room, I’ll take Ayden, then we’ll wake Jasper?” I asked Edward who laughed and agreed. Alice had set up a bed for Ayden and me partially into her large closet on a huge air mattress that hit me at just below the knees. Edward was carrying Bella up when I went to wake Jasper.

“Jazz, hey Jasper, come one, you don’t want to sleep on this little chair all night. Go up to Edward’s room.” I gently shook my twin awake.

“Alice~” he started.

“Edward already carried her up to her room.”

“Thanks Rosey. Love you. Night.” He mumbled still half asleep as he trudged up the stairs. I laughed and followed him but stopped on the second floor.

A/N: I know. Not much of an ending but I really want to get to the ExR interaction. And If y’all hate me and have abandoned me I totally understand! Sooooo Sorry for how long it’s been! But I’m out of school now so hopefully I’ll have much more time to write!
