A/N: I am warning everyone right now, I know very little about the Twilight fandom. Aside from the first movie that I saw many years ago, I know nothing about the series. I have recently read some fanfiction and it sparked my interest in some of the characters and this little plot bunny nestled itself in my head and would not be shoed away. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be writing a Twilight story, but here it is. I apologize to all the Twilight fans out there for not knowing more about your fandom before trespassing in it, I mean no harm and I hope you enjoy this bit of sappiness anyway.

This has no beta, all mistakes are mine, as always that is all I own. I still make no money from this.

Chapter One

OoOoOoOoOo

In all my three hundred some odd years, I Carlisle Cullen had never actually come across a coven of witches. I had come across many of the Wiccan faith, but the real deal coven of witches with actual mojo was a rare breed. Even by vampire standards.

Even given what my father had done during my living years I had never actually come across the genuine artifact. All those poor souls, not a single one of them had had any real magic, black or otherwise.

So how my coven of young, admittedly sometimes foolish, vampires had run afoul of one is beyond me.

All I know is that one moment I am hunting with my family and the next the deer Emmett had been wrestling with turned into a young lady with long black hair and penetrating green eyes.

Emmett jumped back "Whoa, it's a chick!" he exclaimed as she rose to her full height and soon the air filled with popping sounds and we were surrounded by several more young women all zeroing in on my poor bear.

I jumped up and put myself between the former deer and my son and she glared at me.

"This is your young one, vampire?" She asked me and I nodded.

"You'd take care to teach him some manners." She scolded.

"His manners are perfectly fine." Rosalie snapped arms crossed over her chest defiantly.

"Little lady needs to watch her mouth." The young woman said an ominous tone to her voice.

"Rosalie, don't she's gonna…" Edward didn't get to finish before the witch waved her hand at him and his mouth was forced magically shut.

"Stay out of my head!" She snapped at Edward hissing like a feral cat, "Such naughty vamps you have." She turned to me to say. How she knew Edward had been in her head was beyond me. I had learned how to read him well enough to know when he was traipsing around in others thoughts but this witch had no way of knowing his tells let alone that he had the power to read minds and I'm not going to lie, it unnerved me a little.

"We need to go, they're gonna…" Alice didn't get to finish her sentence before she too was shut up with a flick of the witch's hand.

"The young one sees the future," The witch warned her coven. They all started to move in closer to us, threteningly.

"Get yer mangy magic off my Alice!" Jasper snapped at her taking a step in her direction.

She waved her hand again and sent Jasper flying back into a tree, the tree snapped in half and Jasper ended up in a heap underneath it. Esme ran over to help him up pulling him protectively close to her.

"Mama bear best keep her cub in line." The witch said to Esme. I stepped further forward putting myself more between my family and the witches.

The witch then turned back to me, "Seems all your little ones could use to learn some manners," She told me "It is best to teach them when they are babes."

All of a sudden the witch and her coven began to chant. Leaves and brush blew up around us, circling us in a funnel kicking up dust and dirt.

When the debris settled the only ones standing where Esme and I, the children all lay on the ground and were… well… children.

"What did you do?" I asked in horror.

"Gave you a second chance." She said "Raise them up right this time." She warned.

"Fix this!" I demanded.

"Only time can fix this. They will grow and they will learn and they will hopefully gain better manners." She told me and with that she and her coven popped out of existence leaving me and my wife with five very young children.

Jasper, who looked all of five years old, was the first to rouse. He looked up at his mother with wide amber eyes, "Mama," he moaned "My head hurts."

"Oh baby," Esme knelt down before him and gathered him in her arms. "Carlisle what are we going to do?" She asked me as she held Jasper close.

"I don't know Esme… love them?" I could hear crying and I turned to see Edward sitting up. By my guess he was about eighteen months old and looking very disgruntled. He opened and closed his little hands at me as he cried. I walked over and reached down and picked him up "Shhh it's ok Edward." I tried to sooth him, rocking gently.

Slowly the other children started rousing. Alice was next. She hopped up onto little feet and ran over to Jasper tossing her arms around his waist "Japer!" She said happily, seeming totally unperturbed. She was no older than two and a half and every bit is fiery and bubbly as ever.

Jasper let go of Esme to wrap his arms around Alice's shoulders and Esme drew them both close to her.

Emmett sat up with a groan and rubbed his head "What happened?" he asked and then blinked at the sound of his voice which had gone up several octaves.

"Come here bear cub." I said holding the arm that wasn't holding Edward out to him and he came scurrying over.

"Pops what happened?" he asked me laying his cheek against my chest as I crouched down by my now seven year old boy.

"Seems the witches decided to down size you guys to teach us a lesson." I explained and he let out a small whining noise I didn't know him capable of making.

The last to wake up was my kitten, all of six years old and looking very confused. She peered down at her tiny foot in her shrunken shoe and frowned in vexation, "Oh tell me those bitches didn't hocus pocus us." She said.

"Rosalie Lillian!" I scolded "Watch that mouth little lady." I warned.

"Sorry daddy" She said sheepishly "but look at us!"

"I see." I assured her. Boy did I see and I had no idea what to do about it.

OoOoOoOoOo
