I was sitting on the porch, waiting for my husband to come back from patrol. I did it every week. The packs were that big, that everyone didn't have to be on patrol every day like a few years ago. And every time I was sitting here or somewhere else, I dug through the most wonderful or funny memories I had gained over the time.

"Hey. I'm Jacob. You awe vewy pwetty", a very young Jacob had said when he first saw me and he made me blush.
Even as a kid he was very cute. I was nine and a half years old when I had met Jacob. It took me between one and two years to warm up to my new environment. My new dad had then taken me to La Push one day, saying that he and his best friend Billy wanted to watch a sports game on TV. When we arrived, I had seen Jacob at a window, looking at the cruiser. I was shy at first when I stood in front of the to me unknown family but I got more comfortable around little Jacob.

When we were around the teenager age, there were many moments where we were very close to kiss the other. Two or three were when Jacob slept over at my place or when I slept over at his place. We were watching one of our favorite TV shows and we ate the pizza, that dad had ordered, while watching. Somewhere in the middle, we had a silly and playful argument about the pizza. It wasn't even the tiniest bit serious and we laughed a lot. Somehow, I had ended up on top of Jacob while he was laying on the ground and our faces were very close. When I slept over at Jacobs and one of these almost-kissing-moments happened, it was the unknowing Billy who interrupted. When these moments happened at my place when Jacob slept over, it was dad who unknowingly interrupted those moments. Another almost-kissing-moments was when we playfully danced across the room and we didn't watch where the other one was. We bumped into each other and I had clung to his shirt.

I sat on Jacob's bed in my bunny costume with a pout in my face. I had lost the bet with Jacob, which had been about me winning or loosing the gymnastics competition. If I lost, Jacob would have lost the bet and if I won the competition, he would think of something. And he did. I had to wear a bunny costume for a whole week, because I won the competition. Jacob entered his bedroom, drying his hair and he began to laugh at my expression. And of course he had to be shirtless. And wet from the shower he had just a few moments ago. My eyes were drawn to his abs where the droplets ran down. Either he didn't notice me staring, or he did and chose to ignore it to not embarrass me more.
"Come on, Bambi. Why so pouty?" he teased and threw the towel over his chair.
He sat down next to me and pulled me on his lap, before he cuddled with me and pecked my lips and nose many times.

I kneeled on the ground, Jasmine in front of Jake who sat a few feet away from me. Jace was sitting between his legs while Jake held Jasmine on her feet. She wobbled a bit when he let go and then she made her first step. She wobbled towards me. I stretched my arms towards her and I grabbed her when she was close. She squealed happily and clapped her hands when I smiled at her. Jasmine herself smiled a toothy smile. Edward and Leah stood at the side and watched their mates make their first steps with their short legs.

Edward held Jasmine in his arms and cooed at her. He had a little bottle in his hand with warm milk. He watched as she drank the milk. Leah as well had Jace in her arms with little bottle of warm milk. Then I saw how Jace smiled evilly and began to cry. Edward looked towards them and panicked. I assumed that he tried to read his thoughts to find out what was wrong with my baby boy, but it didn't seem to work. Leah sat down on a stool and sat Jace on her lap, his front facing her. Then one of the funniest things I ever witnessed happened. Jace burped and threw up on Leah's shirt. The twins giggled and squealed like crazy and I smiled as well. Then Jasmine did the same thing to Edward, only without the burping. Edward tried to glare, but he couldn't because of how adorable his mate was. Especially when she giggled.

"Hey", I was greeted from behind and warm arms snaked around my waist.
"Hey", I replied with a smile.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Just a few lovely memories. All them were with you and our sweet angels."
"Wanna relive some of them?"
I chuckled.
"Maybe. I mean we won't be able to relive some of them like when we had these almost-kisses. If we tried that, I believe it would definitely end up with us being naked and tangled in bedsheets", I replied.
Jacob started kissing my neck and shoulder, making me giggle.
"Jake, the kids could get home earlier, you know that right?"
"I wouldn't be so sure. Jasmine called and literally begged me to let her have more time with Edward today. It's weird seeing them together after he stayed at her side since she was born and now she's a teenager, dating someone who is much, much older than her..."
"Well he doesn't really look like one hundred and whatever years old. He looks as old as we look."
"Still... it's weird..."
"Do you want to keep talking about how weird it is or do you want the cake in the kitchen?" I questioned.
"Maybe later. Right now? I only want the sweet taste of your soft lips."
I smiled and stood up.
"Then I guess you have to catch me for that", I teased and started running.
I loved spending time with him like this, fooling around and behaving like we were kids again and not legal adults.
I heard his footsteps racing after me and just a few seconds later, he caught me by my waist and spun me around.
"Not so fast Bambi", he mumbled, using his nickname for me.
He quickly pecked my lips and buried his face in my hair. I snapped my fingers and little pink clouds flew around us, shaped as hearts. Jake noticed and smiled.
"You know, you always amaze me."
