"Go Bene! Go Bene! Go Bene!"

Benedict chuckled as he looked over to his lover who was cheering off tother side as he took his place on the baseball plate. He smile grew when Amélie blew him a kiss, out of luck. Benedict reached out and caught her kiss and then held his hand to his chest, right above his heart. It made the family look on with smiles as they stared at the happy couple.

Although the moment ended all too soon as a voice called out. "C'mon and get on with it!"

Benedict bit his lip as to not shout at his brother, instead he turned his attention to the field. His eyes tracing over his family members that stood in the open space. Emmet stood on the far left side of the field, a cheeky grin plastered across his face, Edward stood on the far right side of the field, a determined look in his eye all the while Alice stood in the center of the field the baseball in hand a serious look eched onto her face. Benedict nodded towards Alice, raising his bat, readying himself in a proper position.

Alice nodded back. Raising her own arm into the air, preparing for the throw. Emmet and Edward grew fridged as they waited for the ball to go flying back for them to catch. With a great force the baseball when flying through the air with imaginable speed, heading straight for Benedict. Benedict smirked. His bat quickly swinging around his body, hitting the baseball with indescribable strength. With a loud bang - matching that of the loud thunder that echoed Forks - the ball went flying back in the direction it was thrown from.

And just like that, the race was on.

Benedict immediately dropped the bat and took off at great speed to reach the rest of the bases and to get back to the home base. Emmet and Edward went chasing the ball at the same time, trying to catch it but instead they collided, making the ball fly past them, into the empty forest. Edward and Emmet groaned as they landed onto the ground, the collision had been one with force making it hurt that tiny bit.

Amélie cheered for her lover as Benedict made his way around the field before landing at home base, getting a home-run for his team. Benedict quickly made his way over to Amélie, picking her up and spinning her around out of pure joy. Amélie giggled playfully as she held Benedict's shoulders to steady herself as she was spun around. Benedict joined in with Amélie's giggles and laughs. Benedict slowly placed Amélie back to the grown but not daring to let her out of his arms.

"Je suis si fière de toi mon amour (I am so proud of you my love)" Amélie smiled, leaning up to press a soft kiss to Benedict's cheek.

Benedict grinned. "Merci ma chérie (Thank you my darling)"

As Benedict leaned down, about to press a sweet kiss to Amélie's beloved lips a loud screech caught their attention.

"Stop! Stop!" Alice cried. Everyone turned to her, afraid of what was about to come out of her mouth. "I thought they had left....I'm so sorry."

The Cullens froze in their spots. All eyes towards the forest. It was quiet for a moment, as if they were listening for something but it was short lived as they entire family huddled together, quickly trying to figure out a solution to their sticky predicament. Amélie looked up at Benedict who's face was serious and firm, she now knew how serious the current situation was. Benedict noticed Amélie's frightened gaze and so he leaned down and pressed a soft but firm kiss to his beloveds temple.

"They must have heard us, and turned back around," Rosalie snapped.

"You said they had left!" Edward growled towards Alice as he was quick to point fingers.

Alice stood her ground. "They did, but they heard us."

"Then you should have-" Edward tried to quarrel but Benedict quickly spoke up.
