Well, I'll wait for your reviews! ^^

It had been four months ago that I told the Cullens about my children. I'd never expected Edward to take it all so lightly, but then a again – he never ceased to amaze me.
After he'd said that Raven and Blaze should be Cullens, we gave the rest of the vampire family the chance to meet them. Esmé kept chanting that she was a grandma now, something she'd always wanted.

When Raven and Blaze were getting tired that morning, we decided to go home – Adam Scarlett my cousins and babies to our new estate in Seattle and Charlie and myself back to the old house to keep up a charade for Bella. we'd explained the Cullens that Bella was unaware of this and that was supposed to stay that way. It was safer for her.

Right now, we were supposed to be at school. I should have bene graduated by now, just as Bella and the Cullens should.
But the last fewer months events never gave me the chance to finish school.

Charlie wasn't happy about that, just like he hated the fact that Edward and I were in contact again and taking care of our sons. Every day, at the crack of dawn, we would drive to Seattle and cuddle with the twin. The boys had to get used to Edward as their father but that went great from the beginning. It was like they felt some kind of connection it him.
The first few times were tense though, and even now it was still a bit awkward.
My brothers kind of hated Edward. Especially Nathan, who kept staring daggers at Edward all the time. Edward brushed it off, explaining me it was more than normal for them to do that – they only wanted to protect me.

It was a good thing though, Charlie didn't knew about our relationship status. I think he'd try to kill us in whatever if he would only see Edward kissing my cheek.
Yeah, after our reunion that night in Alice's room, we kissed a count of two times after but nothing too major. It got me wondering what exactly our relationship now was.

"Mommy! Can you pway pinano too?"

I was snapped back to the present, staring down from where I sat on the couch in the living room, absentmindedly watching Raven and Blaze play with their dino cuddle toys.
I smiled, reaching out my arms to pick up the now crawling Blaze from the carpet. Raven was still occupied with the cuddle toys, deciding which one was going to beat the other in a running game.
"Hey buddy! Can you say that again please?" I said, settling him in my lap as he stared at me, eyes brightly golden now, much to Edward's liking.
"Can you pway pinano?" Blaze repeated, a small frown forming between his big baby eyes. I giggled because of his word.
"Blaze, sweetie, it's a piano. Can you say that?"
Blaze seemed to think very hard, biting his lower lip, a bad habit he'd taken over from me.
"Pinano?"
"Pi-a-no." I tried again, hoping he'd catch it. I wouldn't press him though – he was technically a few months old…
"Pi..aaa…no!" he exclaimed delighted, swaying his arms around. I applauded for him as he said it right.
I hugged him and he asked me again if I could play the piano, dragging out the last word so he would say it right again.
"Yes, I can. Daddy can too." I told him, just when Edward re-entered the living room, holding three cookies in his hands, smiling. the first time they said 'Daddy' left Edward in an euphoric state. I needed to literally set him down on a chair to calm down.
"Daddy too?" Raven exclaimed form the ground, having clearly heard our conversation and staring up at Edward.
"Yep! Daddy is a really good piano player. Much better than your mommy!" Edward said, winking at me and handing Raven one of the cookies. He gave our oldest a ruffle through his wild, dark hair and came to us. Edward sat down next to me on the couch and Blaze crawled away from me to Edward's lap instead, leaning against his chest. Edward handed him a cookie as well, leaving the last one in his hands for me.
It was still unbelievable to me that we were sitting here – our little family. So much had changed in so little time… Good thing everything turned out just right.
Except for one thing that kept bothering me. And it had been bothering for quite some time.

"Edward?" I whispered, taking a bite from the fresh choco-chip cookie. Edward's head turned to me expectantly, Blaze having trapped his father's pinky in his tiny hand.
"I was wondering…you know…what are we?" I was stammering weirdly, not finding the right words. It had sounded much better in my head.
Edward chuckled lowly, an amusing sound.

"Oh Melody, Melody, what to do with you?" he sighed dramatically, smiling. he took my hand in his free one and squeezed softly without breaking any bones.
"I could say friends but that's not how I feel…" he started, making my heart panic a little. He heard it and gazed into my light caramel eyes.
He gave me a kiss then, a lovely peck on the lips.
"I could pronounce us as lovers…but your much more than that…"
Another kiss touched my lips, making my cheeks burn.
"so if you don't mind…I'd like to call you my girlfriend." He finished, rewarding me with another one of his soft kisses. I giggled against his lips.
"If you're my boyfriend that is." I replied playfully, grinning.

"Wouldn't want you in any other way…for now." he said back, confusing me slightly. He kissed away the frown on my forehead, brushing his lips against the skin there.
"I know you're jealous about our last names." He hinted, pointing at himself and the two wild haired vampire babies. I blushed. I'd dreamed something vaguely about that…
"How can you know?" I questioned, whispering, kissing him softly this time. he grinned evilly.
"You shouldn't talk so much in our sleep, baby. You sometimes tell me things you wouldn't want me to hear."
I gasped, embarrassed. That son of a bitch!
"You've been creeping my bedroom again!?" I hissed, making him laugh even more.
"It's the only way to keep you at peace in your sleep, my love. But don't worry though, " he said, getting back to my apparent jealousy of the last names.
"Someday, you'll be a Cullen too. I'll promise you that Miss Swan."

I blushed a deeper red, feeling Edward's lips on mine once more before he got up, taking Blaze along with him and starting to play with his boys.
His words got me a little flustered, but in some way it felt like he was right.

Our relationship had only just officially started, but I knew, like this we were able to fight everything off.
It didn't matter to me if they came to get me. I would have a family who would fight for our love, our lives. And yes, the danger hadn't subsided yet – the Volturi, Victoria and the mysteries that contained myself. But what had happened while Edward was gone, had made me so much stronger, made a fighter of me.

Between everything we'd been through, I was able to see the light in the darkest Starless Sky, keeping myself getting through.
