" When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up." Jessica said while standing in front of everyone giving her speech. Emma smiled in her seat holding Edward's hand and enjoying this moment.

She knew for the sake of the Cullen's, she would have to do this over and over again, but she also knew none of those times were going to be like the first time." Our answers were things like astronaut, president or in my case, a princess. When we were ten, they asked again, and we answered, rock star, cowboy, or in my case, a gold medalist, but now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how about this...who the hell knows ?"

The crowd yelled at that point clapping and agreeing. Jessica smiled and went on with her speech." This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions, this is the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere. Fall in love, a lot." Emma and Edward looked to each other before laughing." Major in philosophy, because there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind, and change it again, because nothing is permanent. So, make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask what we wanna be we won't have to guess. We'll know."

Everyone clapped loudly while Jessica took her seat allowing the principal to come back on stage." And now I will call each student to receive their diploma."

One by one each student came up to receive there reward. Each parent whistling and smiling brightly. Some mothers crying due to never thinking their child would actually receive one." Emma Swan."

Charlie was the first to dart up from his seat and clap loudly with tears in his eyes. Esme and Carlisle stood up also clapping with the same exact energy. Emma blushed and laughed before exciting off stage and turned." Isabella Swan."

" Yeah Bella !" Emma yelled before clapping herself. She felt tears of her own in her eyes seeing her little sister grow up before her eyes. Bella blushed also before exiting off stage and hugging Emma.

" We did it !"

" Yeah, we did." Emma cried before looking to Bella's face seeing she was crying too." Come on. Let's go tackle the world."

" Like he always do." Bella said with a smile looping her arm with Emma and walking back to their seats. Esme smiled taking the perfect picture of the twins smiling to each other while walking.

" Well, I'm proud of you, girls." Charlie said with both his arms wrapped around his girls." I can't wait to see what you guys will do next. You both are my biggest accomplishment."

" Dad, I think we cried enough today." Emma whined causing Charlie to laugh.

" Well it's true." Charlie said before smiling." Watch. You'll see it one day when you watch your kids."

The smile slightly dropped from Emma's face, but Bella quickly picked it up." We'll meet you later, Dad."

" Right. You have the Cullen party. You girls be safe."

" Always are." Bella said before walking to the car with Emma. Once inside, Bella turned the car on before driving and looking to Emma slightly." Are you okay ?"

" Yeah, why ?"

" I know Dad's comment stumped you a bit. I could see it in your face." Bella said while Emma bit the bottom of her lip.

" It did a bit, but I'm okay." Emma said before looking down to her wrist seeing it was a bit bruised. It had been two weeks since she punched Jacob and her hand was healing rather well, but she couldn't help but to think about what Jacob had said." Is my choice of being with Edward really killing you ?"
