Renee POV:
After that thriller was over, we were ready to celebrate Maggie and Emmett's birthdays in school and at home. Maggie had a princess party, while Emmett had a baseball party. It was amazing how our lives could still go on after the nightmare we'd just gone through. It was only a few days ago that Jane had been threatening my children's lives.
Alice's sixth birthday was April 9th, and she took all us girls shopping and then went to see a movie with Jasper. It was so adorable, because he kissed her on the lips this time. It was interesting to see Carlisle's facial expression as he watched his little girl grow up before his eyes. He was shocked until Esme hit him playfully on the shoulder and started kissing his lips. I laughed until Charlie kissed me passionately. The fire was still there, after all those years.
Jasper's eighth birthday was celebrated at a local ranch, and the kids had fun going on the 'horsies' and of course, Emmett rode with Rosalie, and Jasper rode with Alice. The older couples went off by themselves and so did the adults. It was almost time for school to get out, and everyone was excited. It had been a fun year, but boy, were there a lot of traumatizing things that happened!
Over the summer, Jacob and Nessie became a couple in Special Olympics, which they'd just joined and then gone to the Summer Games. They told us they danced together all night on Saturday, and we were so proud of them and how well they did in their swim meet and Jacob's track meet. They made many new friends, such as Sam, Emily, Leah, Seth, Paul, (who was now dating Rachel), Jared, Kim, Quil, Claire, and Embry. That was a big group, and now, Jacob and Nessie had a lot of friends to invite to parties who were more like them in level of intelligence.
Carlisle POV:
Esme's party in July was so much fun-no one let her do anything that day. I served her breakfast in bed, and then the kids came in and joined us.
"Good morning, Daddy. Happy Birthday, Mommy!" Vera greeted us. Esme and I stared at each other.
"She just called us-" Esme started, surprised.
"I know," I said into her hair.
"I'm part of the family, after all!" Vera giggled. "And don't worry, I'm nothing like Heidi,"
"Jane," Esme corrected with a shiver.
"She's dead now," I reassured all of them. "Happy birthday, sweetheart," I said to Esme, kissing her lips.
"Thanks, dear," Esme said, giggling. Her laughter was the death of me.
Edward came in with a cake, singing 'Happy Birthday', and pretty soon, we were all laughing, eating the cake together, until we got a phone call. It was Carmen, and she wanted us to watch her class's hip hop dance to some song. We were all excited as we packed our things to watch the show at her house. I got out my recorder, as did all the other parents, and the kids took their positions on the large living room floor. Carmen started the music.
[Usher:]
Yeah, Yeah Yeah, Yeah yeah, Yeaah
Yeah, Yeah yeah, Yeah yeah, Yeaah
[Usher (Verse 1):]
I'm in the club with my homies, tryna get a lil V-I, keep it down on the low key, cause you know how it feels.
I said shorty she was checkin up on me, from the game she was spittin my ear you'd think that she knew me.
So we decided to chill
Conversation got heavy, she had me feelin like she's ready to blow!
(Watch Out!, Watch Out!)
She saying come get me, come get me,
So I got up and followed her to the floor, she said baby lets go,
When I told her I said
[Usher (Chorus):]
Yeah (yeah) Shorty got down to come and get me
Yeah (yeah) I got so caught up I forgot she told me
Yeah (yeah) Cause if my girl new it'd be best to hold me
Yeah (yeah) Next thing I knew she was all up on me screaming:
Yeah, Yeah yeah, Yeah yeah, Yeaah
Yeah, Yeah yeah, Yeah yeah, Yeaah
Shes all up in my head now, got me thinking that it might good idea to take her with me,
Cause she's ready to leave.
Now I gotta keep it real now, cause on a one-to-ten she's a certified twenty, and that just aint me.
Cause I do know if I take that chance just where is it gonna lead,
But what I do know is the way she dance makes shorty alright with me.
The way she getting low!
I'm like yeah, just work that out for me.
She asked for one more dance and I'm
Like yeah, how the hell am I supposed to leave?
And I said
[Chorus]
[Lil' Jon:]
Luda!
[Ludacris (Verse 3):]
Watch out!
My outfit's ridiculous, In the club lookin' so conspicuous.
And Rowl! These women al on the prowl, if you hold the head steady I'm a milk the cow.
Forget about the game I'm a spit the truth, I won't stop till I get em in they birthday suits.
So gimmie the rhythm and it'll be off with they clothes, then bend over to the front and touch your toes.
I left the jag and I took the roles, if they aint cutting then I put em on foot patrol.
How you like me now, when my pinky's valued over three hundred thousand,
Lets drank you the one to please, Ludacris fill cups like double d's.
Me and Ush once more and we leave em dead, we want a lady in the street but a freak in the bed to say
[Chorus]
[Ludacris (Bridge):]
Take that and rewind it back, Lil' Jon got the rhythm make ya booty go (clap)
Take that and rewind it back, Ursher got the voice make ya booty go (clap)
Take that and rewind it back, Ludacris got the flow make ya booty go (clap)
Take that and rewind it back, Lil' Jon got the rhythm make ya booty go (clap)

The room erupted into applause as the kids froze in their positions, with black pants and white tank tops (for the girls) and for the boys, it was jeans and a black t-shirt. After the clapping died down, the children rushed into our arms, and we held them tight. They knew they would be forever loved.
"I love you," Esme said, staring into my eyes.
"I love you too. Forever," I promised, lifting her chin up to mine, kissing her lips softly at first, but then with more force.
"It's my birthday. You know what I want," she said with a suggestive smile, licking her lips.
"Oh, yeah," I snickered. "You'll be forever loved, baby girl," She dissolved into giggles as I kissed her madly.
Read and review, please! That's the end, people! Thank you all so much for your kind reviews! You really kept me motivated writing this story.

Secrets will be revealed! First chapter up tomorrow…
It's kinda like the song You Belong with Me by Taylor Swift, so what title should I give this story? Maybe "Been Here the Whole Time"? Or do you have a better title?
