family meeting

Rosalie's POV

Peace.

That's the only thing I feel now that I have finally found my mate. Years of being lonely and missing my human life finally were forgotten when I accepted him as mine and me as his. He was human, which was an issue for how we were going to live in the future. But being in his tight embrace made everything worth it. 

One thing that I can't stand is that his cousin seems to think she is all of the sudden one of us.

I could smell Bella, her blood always made all of us uncomfortable from the strong and mouthwatering scent. "If you change me, we won't have anymore problems. I can fend off Victoria and the Volturi wont be an issue because I'll be changed."

This was a common argument between the nascence that is Isabella Swan. She is throwing away   any chance she has at mortality. I rolled my eyes and tried tuning out her annoying voice. 

I felt Jackson rubbing my back slowly. "Is Bella bothering everyone again?" he asks but he clearly knows the answer already. I nod my head and burry my head into his chest.

"If it makes you feel any better, I have some exciting news for you," I could practically hear the smile that was forming on his face. 

I turn my head up to him, smiling back at him. "What is it?"

"You'll know when Carlisle comes home." I huff at him, becoming impatient as to what it could possibly be. 

Not knowing what else to do with myself, since I knew Jackson wasn't going to tell me, I go to Alice and Jaspers room. I knock on the door and walk in, "Alice, my favorite sister, do you know what is going on with Jackson and his news?"

My words seemed to peak Jasper's interest and he shared a certain look with Alice. "Oh I have no idea," Alice stated, avoiding eye contact with me. 

"I highly doubt that. Come on I wanna know."

Alice gives me a teasing smile, meaning I have a good shot at actually liking this surprise. "All I will say is that, I've seen it and it's amazing."

Knew it, call me Edward now. 

"Since I at least know I'll be happy, I am off to see Esme and Emmett."

"What about Edward?" Jasper asks his attention originally solely being on his book. 

"And go see that human? No thanks," I gritted out. She has to be the most idiotic, selfish person I have ever met in my 72 years on this earth. 

With the laughter of Alice and the quiet snickers of Jasper, I left the two to themselves. Sometimes I felt awful for Jasper, with having his bloodlust from being newer to the diet and feeling all of our own. I do however, blame Edward and the blood bag the most for his uncomfortable stature in his own home. 

I continued my walk past blood bag and Edward, leaving them to fight over whatever the hell they were fighting about. Instead, I went to Emmett's room. "Emmett!" I yelled through his door. 

"Come in."

"Did Alice or Jackson tell you the news? They won't tell me and I don't wanna wait for Carlisle to come home." My hope was Jackson told Emmett since they are always together and talking about whatever they talk about.

Emmett shook his head at my question, instead fiddling with a controller he had in his room. Somedays were difficult for him. He didn't have a mate, while the rest of us did and it always made my heart reach out for him. 

"Carlisle should be home any minute now anyways, so you shouldn't have to wait too long," he states. His eyes never met mine, so I decided to leave him to be alone for right now. 

As I walked down the hall I heard the door open from the garage and knew instantly that meant Carlisle was back. "Jackson! Alice! Carlisle's home, that means it's time!" I yell for everyone. 

Jackson strutted his way down the stairs, taking his sweet time. Alice was holding Jasper's hand and guiding him to where Carlisle was standing in the kitchen. "What is this all about?"

"I got some interesting news that I would like to share," Jackson smirked. 

"Oh, then by all means, you have the floor," Carlisle told him, taking a seat next to an unusually quiet Esme. Emmett had taken a chair that was away from most of the couples. 

Jackson gave a huge smile to the family that he had grown close with. "So, I got a call-"

"What's going on here?" I knew I smelt a blood bag. I have never hated a human being more than her. 

"Jackson was trying to tell us something," I spat through gritted teeth. Jasper gave a snicker at my tone, but Edward seemed less than amused. 

Jackson cleared his throat, bringing everyones attention back to him. "As I was saying, I got a call last night from my cousins. They will be moving here to be with me in 3 days."

I grew a bit uneasy at his words. More humans around the house, but that also means that I get the chance to meet family that isn't Isabella Swan. I give Jackson a smile, trying to mask the fears that ran through my head. 

What if they're like Bella?

What if they are wolves somehow?

What if they try to kill us?

What if they don't like me?

"I know this could be uncomfortable for some of you, but I'd like for them to meet you guys. They're the only family I have left and you guys have become like a second family to me," he says. How could I deny meeting them now?

Esme gives him a mothering smile. "Of course we'll meet them. They can come over after they unpack or some of you could go over and help them unpack if they need?" she suggests. 

"That would be very helpful. It's just them moving, so I think that would be easier for them." This strikes everyones interest. I could only image they were older, about 20 I'd assume. "Caroline will be so happy with the woods. Katherine will just be glad she won't have to cook."

I looked over to see Alice just about to burst from the seams and Bella seemed to have a disgusted look on her face. Before anyone else could speak, the human decides she needs to give her unwanted opinion. "I don't really like Caroline or Katherine. They're both really weird."

"Bella, Caroline and Katherine have had a rough life these past two years. The last thing I want to hear from you today is how you dislike them," Jackson states defensively. He glared at his other cousin, while Edward glared back at him. 

"How about you tell us a bit about them?" Carlisle suggests, trying to clear the tension. 

"Well, Caroline is 15, but she'll be 16 in a month. Katherine is 18, she'll be 19 in the spring."

"We will be sure to be very welcoming to them, right?" Esme directs to a silent Edward. He only nods his head at her. 

I can only hope they can't fuck up this once peaceful household more so than Bella already has
