See Life In Focus [A. Cullen & J. Hale]

1. 🌑

Axel swam to the surface of the water spitting the water that was in his mouth. "That was cool, Emmett. Do it again!"

They laughed as Emmett threw Alice. The pixie haired girl did a flip before falling into the lake with a splash.

"Allie?" He looked down where she fell and screamed when she tickled him. "Stop!" He giggled pulling her up.

"Nope." She laughed and kissed him.

"You're a- WATCH OUT!" Emmett yelled as he jumped down. They screamed scattering as he made a huge wave.

"Emmett!" Alice screamed in frustration, "You ruined my moment!"

"Sorry, that's all my bad." He chuckled taking the full wrath of his sister.

"Hey, Carlisle. Why are you lying in the sun like you can tan?" Axel asked laughing.

"Perhaps, I prefer some vitamin D." He responded with his eyes closed.

"I didn't know you were gay for the sun." Axel snorted.

Carlisle pulled down his sunglasses giving him a look, "Not that kind of Vitamin D."

"Fine." He laughed and swam towards Esme, who had her feet in the water.

"Hello, Axel." She greeted him as flopped on her lap similar to a beached whale.

"Sad that Nibbles couldn't come. I could've put sunglasses on her." He sighed.

"She's happy with Edward at the house. He's feeding her lots of strawberries and giving her a massage."

Bella scoffed, "He's running away from that poor puppy like the plague. He already doesn't like Jacob."

"But, Nibbles isn't gonna turn into a giant wolf with the sole purpose of killing his species." Axel teased making Bella flip him off.

"Why do you have the same last name as Sam? I've been wondering, are you gonna change into a giant wolf?" She asked putting on her sunblock.

"I don't know. Sam thinks it has to do with Mirabelle Uley, his 1st cousin I believe. She ran away from Quileute territory a long time ago. From what the elders said, she just vanished out of thin air."

"Think you might be related?" Esme asked joining the conversation.

"Paul does. He says that he sees something diluted in me by human blood. Sam says that I can't be a blood singer if I'm a wolf." He looked out to see Alice on Rosalie's back. The girl laughed as they played around.

"Diluted bloodline."

"I would ask my mother but... She's long gone in the head." Bella grimaced.

"Gone in the head?"

"Long story short. Let my teacher rape me and killed my father in cold blood in front of me. I don't like remembering my father's death. I haven't evem told Alice and Rose about it. My father was the descendent of the Uley bloodline and he's dead. My mother would be the only clue." He explained.

"Fuck then, let's do it." Bella said excitedly.

"Do what?" Axel said as a cold sweat ran down his back

"Find your mom and discover your hertiage."

"No!" He yelled instantly hopping up, "No! No! No!"

"But why?" She asked and he sent the most bone chilling glare towards her.

"This is why I don't talk about her. I don't like to speak her into existence."

"Like Voldemort from Harry Potter?" Bella asked.

He snorted, "Placed the killing curse on me from the womb."

They laughed laying in the rocks.

"Do you ever think about being a father?" Bella asked turning towards him.

"To who? Nibbles? Hell ya." He laughed as she gave him a blank look.

"No, to an actual human baby." She asked.

"You gonna go an adopt, Belly?" He asked looking at her.

"Maybe, I'll have to ask Edward once he changes me."

"Can I call your kid, Babybell?" He asked and she pushed him.

"No that's a horrible nickname." She laughed throwing a pebble at him. It hit his stomach hard and he groaned.

"That was a dense pebble."

"Big baby."

Esme held him, "Don't throw rocks at the poor baby."

"Am I your baby, Mama Esme?" He asked softly.

"Always." She kissed his forehead.

He grinned and kissed her cheek. "Love you."

Her eyes widened and her lips curled up, "I love you, too."

"And I'm always gonna be sweet on you, Axel." Alice chirped kissing his soft lips.

"Allie..." He whined blushing.

"Cutie." She booped his nose.

"Stop, I am a grown man!" He turned away.

"Baby man." Bella coughed gaining a slap to the arm.

"Here, she followed me all day." Bella gave Axel a smug look as he took the unkept pup from Edward's arms.

"Did you even wash her?"

"She ran in the mud and chased me around the house. When I chased her to take her a bath, she shook mud on me." Edward complained

"Awwwe. Good girl, Nibby." He kissed her nose. The pup wagged her tail.

"Let's get you clean, Edward." Bella teased.

Axel blinked and suddenly the world shifted. He could see Edward surrounded by a lime green aura. He turned and Esme and Carlisle were surrounded by similar golden auras.

"Axel?" He turned to Alice

"Huh?" He blinked and all the auras disappeared.

"You alright? You've been staring in the same place for 3 minutes now."

"But... I was looking around in my mind. Carlisle is on my left side carrying a blue bag. Esme is by his side. Theres pawprints leading from the door around the island and from the kitchen." Carlisle walked around the island and nodded.

"He's right."

"But, he was just staring at one place?"

Axel shrugged, "I could just see everything like 360 as if I was moving."

"Is this normal, Carlisle?" Alice asked looking at him in concern.

"I wouldn't know what to check. Quileutes don't have gifts. He isn't a vampire." Carlisle looked into his eyes and saw a worried human boy.

"Carlisle... Am I ok?" He asked him.

"It's not affecting anything that I can see. I've never seen anything like this before." He said truthfully.

"Ok..."
