"You spied on me?!" I whisper yelled at Emmett. We were sitting on my bed just talking to each other about random things and then he asked why I didn't wear my glasses in public and then I asked how he knew about my glasses and I sure as hell wasn't expecting the answer he gave me.

"Well, when you say it like that it sounds creepy." He rolled his eyes and leaned against my wooden headboard.

"Emmett it sounds creepy any way you word it." I scoffed and whacked him with my pillow.

"Oh, so it's creepy when I do it but 'beautiful and mysterious' when Edward does it." He spoke sarcastically.

"He spied on me too?!" I whacked him again. He grimaced and sighed heavily at me.

"No, he spied on Bella." He explained slowly as if I were dumb and couldn't comprehend his words. I whacked him again and leaped off of my bed. "Where are you going?" I ignored him and opened my door and marched over to Bella's.

"I need sister time," I spoke as I opened the door. Edward smirked at me before he squeezed Bella's hand that he had been holding and blurred out of the room. I closed and locked Bella's door before plopping down beside her on her bed.

"What's wrong?" She asked. She ran her fingers through my hair as I switched positions and laid my head on her lap.

"I miss mom," I admitted. It was the truth. After my few conversations with Esme, I found myself craving that motherly affection.

"Me too." She sighed softly. I could hear the sadness in Bella's voice and I knew that while I had time with Esme, she had no one. Not even me. "I miss you too." She sighed again.

"It's like we never see each other anymore," I spoke softly. Her fingers continued to play with my hair and I couldn't help but be reminded of all the times when we were kids that we'd just talk and talk about nothing in particular.

"Exactly." She agreed with me. We both knew why. We were so caught up in our boyfriends and school that it didn't leave any time for sister time.

"I'm sorry." I apologized.

"Me too." She forgave me.

We heard a soft knock on the door and we both glanced over at it as Dad poked his head in. He had a small smile on his face as he took in what we were doing. "Goodnight girls."

"Night Dad." We both replied. He gave us a small smile before closing the door and going to bed. We listened intently as the creaking floors ceased and we knew that Dad was in bed.

"Well, I'm going to sleep also," I said. I sat up and kissed Bella's cheek before heading towards her door. "Oh, and Bells," She looked over at me. "You might want to change your shirt. There's a hole next to your nipple." I grinned as she looked down and gasped. I exited her room and made my way towards mine but quickly changed course and headed downstairs instead. I walked into the kitchen and switched on the light.

I jumped onto the counter and detached the phone from the wall and dialed Mom's number. It rang once before going to voicemail and I knew that she had already gone to sleep.

"Hey mom," I spoke into the phone. "I just called to see how you were doing. I miss you. And Phil too of course. Well, I'll call you again, soon. I love you, bye." I hung the phone up and put it back on the dock. I sat there swinging my legs back and forth just letting my thoughts surround me.

"So you both stay and spy on us at night?" I raised an eyebrow at Emmett as Edward carried Bella into the kitchen over his shoulder. Emmett chuckled and fiddled with the spoon that was on the table.

"Uh, morning." Bella smiled shyly.

"Oh don't go being shy now Bells, we're all family here." I grinned at her as I refilled my cup with juice. She sent me a small glare and walked to the stove. She grabbed a plate and placed two pancakes on it - that I had made - and drowned them in syrup.

"So what are you doing today?" Bella asked me as I sat on Emmett's lap. She sat in the empty chair beside Edward and began stabbing at her food with her fork.

"I gotta finish my art project with Jasper and Emmett has to finish some video game that he can't beat." I rolled my eyes but giggled as Emmett poked my side playfully. "What about you?"

"She is going to meet the rest of my family today," Edward said with a small smirk on his face. He tried to mask it as Bella gaped at him but he failed as Emmett chuckled.

"That should prove interesting," Emmett commented and Edward sent him a smirk before looking at Bella. "They'll love you, don't worry."

"Most of them will," Emmett mumbled and I glared at him as Bella resumed her eating but the nervous look in her eyes didn't fade.

"And you should introduce me to your father as well." That comment made me spit the orange juice that I was trying to chug on the table. Edward merely smirked at me as I and Bella both gaped at him.

"He already knows you," Bella commented.

"Yes but not as your boyfriend." He pointed out.

"Yeah babe, I want to meet him too." Emmett poked me again.

"Yeah what you'll be meeting is the end of his shotgun as he tried not to shoot you for dating his daughter," I mumbled as I cleaned the mess I made.

"Babe, I'm a vampire. I'm practically indestructible." Emmett said smugly with a smirk on his face.

"You'd be surprised what a father will do when his teenage daughter introduces him to her boyfriend," I told him.

"She has a point." Bella agreed with me.

"Are you finished?" Edward finally spoke up after a short time. Bella nodded and she stood up.

"We'll be back." I nodded and placed a kiss on Emmett's cheek before following her upstairs. "What does one wear when meeting their boyfriend's family for the first time?" She asked as we reached the last step.

"Clothes." I chuckled. "No but seriously, you can't look worse than I did."

"Well, what were you wearing?"

"My cheerleading uniform." we both laughed and went to our separate bedrooms to change. I stripped out of my tank top and sweats before swinging my closet door open and rummaging through my clothes. I settled on a denim mini skirt and a green baby tee.

"Hey." Bella greeted me as she walked into my room. She was wearing her usual t-shirt and jeans but she seemed to put more effort into her outfit this time.

"My makeups over there." I pointed to my desk and she nodded before walking over to it. I went to the corner of my room where I had carelessly thrown my blue denim jacket and picked it up off of the floor. I put it on and fixed the collar.

"You look nice," Bella commented as she put on mascara.

"So do you." I smiled at her as I laced up my brown combat boots. I ran my fingers through my hair - which had just finished air drying - and decided to leave it as is for the day.

"You need this?" Bella asked as she held up my eyeliner.

"Did my makeup earlier." I shrugged. I grabbed my phone from my bed and together we walked out of my room.

"Ready?" Emmett asked. I nodded and he grabbed my hand and we walked outside. He guided me to Edward's car and we climbed in the backseat. "You look great." He whispered in my ear before placing his lips on my neck.

"Thanks." I turned my face and gave him a small kiss on his jaw. "What happened with you?" I asked Bella as Edward placed her in the car.

"She fainted after I kissed her," Edward smirked and Emmett bellowed with laughter.

"Oh shut up." Bella griped and glared at me. I tried to suppress my giggles but it hadn't worked and I joined in with Emmett.

"Only you Bells, only you." I shook my head.

⋅˚₊‧ ☾ ‧₊˚ ⋅ ♡‧₊˚

"Wow." Bella gawked as we exited the car.

"I said the same thing." I patted her shoulder before walking inside with Emmett. He led me up the stairs and we found his family standing around the kitchen preparing some meal.

"Is she even Italian?" Rosalie muttered grumpily as she held a bowl filled with salad.

"She's albino." I giggled and she sent me a small smile before we heard Bella's footsteps.

"Her name is Bella." Dom pointed out.

"Here comes the human." She grinned sarcastically.

"I take offense to that," I told her. She sent me a smirk before looking at Dom who was busy chopping away at something.

"Carlisle, Esme, this is Bella." Edward introduced her and they both came around to greet her.

"It's lovely to meet you." Esme smiled carefully at her as she stopped a few steps away from her. Carlisle copied her words but didn't stop as far away as Esme had.

"It's nice to meet you too." Bella smiled shyly at them as she rubbed the inside of her elbow nervously.

"Where are Alice and Jasper?" Edward asked as he looked around. He looked at Emmett and me briefly as we stood beside them in the doorway but he diverted his attention elsewhere as Alice strode in through the window, Jasper right behind her.

"Hi, Bella!" She chirped giddily as she strode over to her. "Oh, you do smell good." She sniffed but pulled away from Bella after she hugged her. Bella blushed and thanked her which I giggled at.

"Hello, again Clary." Alice smiled at me and I returned the greeting happily.

"Hello, Bella," Jasper said in a tight voice. His face showed no emotion but his eyes seemed to show some sort of pain. He sensed my worry and he shot me a small smile before looking back at my sister.

"Hello, Jasper," Bella spoke softly as she glanced at him.

"I hope you're hungry." Esme smiled at her.

"Oh of course." Bella smiled tightly.

"She already ate." Edward dismissed Bella's comment. But we all glanced away from him as we heard a crash echo throughout the room.

"Perfect," Rosalie commented as she stepped over the broken glass bowl.

"It's well, I know that you guys don't eat." Bella tried to defend herself.

"Of course, that's very considerate of you," Esme said to her though she glared at Rosalie. I felt Emmett's chest rumble as he hugged me from behind but I poked his hand and it stopped.

"I'm going to give her a tour of the house." Edward tried to hold in his smirk but as he met my gaze, it appeared. He tugged Bella out of the kitchen and we all watched them leave.

"That went well." Dom grinned as everyone began to laugh.

"Clean this up. Now." Esme scolded Rosalie.

"You know, I kind of wanted some of that." I grinned and everyone laughed again. "Unlike her, I didn't eat so what did you make?"

"Babe even if you had eaten, you'd still be hungry." Emmett chuckled as I sat at the table.

"I'm a growing girl, I need to eat." I shrugged.

"You're five feet tall, I think you're done growing." He laughed and I glared at him.

"Bad mouth my height one more time and you'll go a week without kisses." I threatened and he instantly stopped laughing.

"That's not fair." He pouted.

"Life isn't fair babe." I grinned at him before looking around the room. Everyone was smiling as they enjoyed our banter and I couldn't help but laugh.

"This is child abuse." Emmett frowned.

"More like animal abuse." I scoffed which earned another round of laughter.

"Oh yeah, we're keeping her." Dominic laughed as he wrapped his arms around Rosalie.

"Not if I eat her first," Emmett grumbled as he sat beside me.

"What was that?" I turned to him.

"Nothing." He smiled innocently at me.

"Good." I returned his smile.

"Can I open my eyes now?" I opened Edward's bedroom door and walked in carefully. "Are you two decent?"

"Yes, Clary." Bella groaned.

"Oh yay." I removed my hand from my eyes and smiled giddily at them. "What are you two doing?" I plopped down onto his carpet-covered floor and smiled at them.

"Who gave you candy?" Bella narrowed her eyes at me as she saw through my innocent look.

"Dominic," Emmett answered her as he strode into the room. "Told him not to but he wanted to see what would happen."

"A person her size can only handle so much sugar." Bella sighed. I giggled and she couldn't help but smile at me.

"I heard giggles!" Alice squealed as she sped into the room. She sat down beside me and started fiddling with my hair.

"It's a fairy!" I squealed and hugged Alice tightly as Bella groaned again.

"She's so cute." Edward chuckled and smiled at me.

"The disco ball man called me cute." I gasped to Alice. She laughed and patted my head.

"Did she just call me a disco ball?" Edward asked quizzically.

"She called me tinker bell." Emmett shrugged and I smiled widely up at him.

"She called Rose Barbie princess." Alice laughed. "And Dom was her lollipop prince."

"She gives everyone random nicknames when she gets like this." Bella clarified. "It'll go away by tonight, she just needs to work out all of the sugar in her system."

"Speaking of which, there's a storm coming in." Alice smiled knowingly at her siblings. "What a perfect time to play ball."

"Baseball," Edward answered Bella's unvoiced question.

"I love baseball!" I spoke up and looked at everyone happily. "But wait, it'll be raining right?"

"Yeah." Emmett nodded.

"Do I get to play in the rain?" I asked. "If you say no, I'm not going."

"She really won't so if you want her to go just say yes," Bella said. Emmett hesitantly nodded to me and I squealed.

"But wait!" I stopped.

"What now?" Emmett groaned.

"I can't go play in a skirt, I need pants." I frowned at him.

"That's where I come in!" Alice shouted. "I've got something for you to wear." I squealed with her and we raced out of Edward's room hand in hand. We barged into hers and Jasper's bedroom and she swung the doors to her closet open. Her closet was humongous. She had different racks filled with different types of clothing. She examined a shelf full of jeans and she tossed me a pair of black ones. She then tossed me a red long-sleeved shirt, and finally a thin black hoodie.

I unlaced my boots and slid my skirt off before tugging the jeans onto my legs. She sat me down on a small bench that had been placed by the closet door and she helped me put my shoes back on. I slid the red shirt over my tank top and slid the hoodie over it. I left it unzipped and I shrugged into my jacket and she finally spun me around to look at her.

"Perfect." She smiled and we walked downstairs to where everyone was waiting. "Let's play ball."
