Loud guitar music greeted Esme's ear as she heard Carlise groan into his pillow.
He was glad vampires didn't sleep because he didn't think he would ever get any sleep around Emmett.
"There is not one morning I do not regret getting Emmet that guitar."
Esme laughed as Carlise turned over to give her a kiss.
"Good morning love."
Esme smiled.
"Morning."
Another tune played loudly.
"GOOD MORNING FAMILYYYYY!" Emmett's booming voice came followed by his guitar.
"I think the whole city of Forks heard you." Carlise heard Edward tell Emmett slightly annoyed.
"THEN GOOD MORNING FORKS!"
Laughter flooded Carlise and Esme's ears followed by loose piano notes.
They turned towards each other knowingly with grins on their faces.
"I bet you Edward's going to win this time."
"Carlise Cullen we do not bet in this house" Esme scolded him.
Carlise feigns a hurt pout before giving her a quick kiss.
"But I also think he will win," she said giggling as they made the way to the living room.
------------------------
Edward loved playing whenever he could. It's was an easy way to show how he was feeling, to organize the craziness going on in his head. But most of all because although he couldn't read her thoughts he knew Bella loved it when he played.
His thoughts were interrupted by a riff of a guitar followed by Emmett's loud voice.
"You're not the only musical here man."
Oh so it was going to be like that.
Edward smiled as he cracked his fingers.
Bella and Rosalie looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
This was gonna be good.
An upbeat tune was played by Edward as Emmett began to play a similar upbeat tune.
Edward began to make it sound more complicated yet catchy at the same time focus on memories that had made him feel adventurous and upbeat.
He had an array of different memories with Bella to choose from which only helped his fingers move effortlessly across the keys as he found himself staring at Bella who Renesmee had just pulled to dance with her.
She was so perfect this way. Just spontaneously living her life.
That's what he loved about her.
Edward chuckled as he continued to play vigorously trying to keep up with Emmett as he played the final notes of his song.
As he finished Emmett played a final long riff that made Edward roll his eyes.
"Show off."
"You're just jealous!" Came the reply from Emmett's room.
"I think you played beautifully," a bright voice said behind him.
"Well it's helps having beautiful muse like yourself," Edward said winking at Bella.
Bella rolled her eyes playfully as she gave him a kiss with was interrupted by someone pulling her away.
"Everyone needs to hurry up so we can go hunt or we won't have time to do everything," Alice said as she dragged Bella into her room to get ready.
"Boss has spoken," Jasper said trailing after her to which she turns around and playfully smacks his arm.
"I wonder where she gets it from," Carlise whispered to Esme.
Esme glared at him, also playfully hitting his arm to which he pretends to be hurt.
"Tread carefully or you'll be spending the day alone," she threatens lightly to which Carlise smiles knowing all to well she would never take up on it.
"I love you." She says gently.
Carlise smiles as he kisses her gently as if she were to disappear.
"I love you too."
As everyone scattered around getting ready, laughing and playfully pushing, Esme couldn't help but sigh happily.
It was nice being together.
It had been such a rough year with Bella and Edward but they had gotten through it as a family.
She wouldn't have it any other way.
Edward smiled knowingly as he passed Esme and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you," he whispered, "for everything."
"Always," she whispered back before pulling him in for a hug.
Edward would never stop being grateful for the family he had.
Especially Carlise and Esme.
They had been there though everything and loved him unconditionally.
They had had unconditionally supported him when he fell in love with Bella, encouraging him to be happy.
It's all they ever wanted for him.
To be happy.
"What are you thinking about?" Bella asked him leaning on his shoulder as they watched Renesme run around and give hugs to everyone as they passed.
Edward smiled and pressed his face into the crook of Bella's neck.
"How lucky we are."
How lucky the Cullens were indeed.
