*Dorien walked up a path, holding Cecelia's hand. They had apparated using side-long apparation to the gates to his house. Dorien had led her through them and began the walk up the path to the house. He smiled and glanced over at her* "Nervous?" *The path was hidden from view by the trees and it would be visable around the next bend*



ooc: I'll be on in about 2 and a half hours when the movie's over.

She nodded, her hands slightly shaking. "I wish I could have brought something better than this," she said, holding the beautiful arrangement of wildflowers. She sighed. "Stupid noneating thing.. I could have made cookies you know. I can sort of finagle cookies. Or fried chicken!" She leaned into him, giving his shoulder a sweet kiss.

"So....you're not worried about going into a house full of vampires....you're worried that those vampires won't like you because you didn't bring them a covered dish? You're amazing..." *He kissed the top of her head and took her around the bend so that the house was visable. It was rather large, white with dark blue shudders and a wrap around porch. He smiled and sighed* "Here we are...."

Cecelia nodded nervously, fluffing up her long hair and arranging and rearranging the flowers a few more times. "I hope they like me..." She bit her lower lip and allowed one hand to carress her stomach. "I mean if they don't I'll be really sad." She allowed a deep breath and turned to look up at him.

"I suppose it's now or never, yes?"

*Dorien smiled at her obvious nervousness* "You're going to be fine....they're going to love you...." *They made it up to the door and Dorien opened it to a large, well lit room. There were large windows and wood floors. There was a large staircase, and Simon and his mother, Elizabeth, were standing on the bottem step, smiling at them. Elizabeth was pale with long dark hair. She looked to be around the same age as Simon. She smiled and moved foward towards Cecelia and Dorien* "It's lovely to meet you dear...."

Cecelia felt her heart beat someplace near her throat, and handed her the bundle of flowers in her arms. "Here," she said softly, handing them to her. "I'm sorry I couldn't offer you much else...you can't taste things I understand so I couldn't bring you something like that but I figured you could enjoy flowers." She smiled sweetly, hoping to hide her nervousness.

*Dorien tried to stiffle a laugh and his mother shot him a dirty look before taking the flowers and smiling* "They're lovely. Thank you so much. My name's Elizabeth....I believe you've met Simon.....and I don't know where Alice and Jasper have gone to...." *She glanced over her shoulder up at the steps. She went and put the flowers in a vase by a window. The sun made the skin on her arm shimmer as she reached into the sunlight to place the vase on the table where she wanted it*

After taking a moment to give Dorien a light jab in the ribs with a sharp little elbow, Cecelia took a few steps toward Simon and gave him a small hug. "How have you been?" she said in a voice everyone could hear, and then in a lighter whisper so only he could hear her speak, she said, "Do they know yet?"

*Of course everyone could hear her whisper, but nobody said anything. Dorien went over and began helping his mother with something to give Cecelia and his dad some privacy* "No, they don't know. I was leaving that to you and Dorien to decide." *He smiled and turned as he heard someone start down the tseps. Instantly, Doirien was back at her side. He looked up as Alice came racing down the stairs. She was small and pale with short dark hair. Although they were all graceful, she was easily the most so. When she Dorien and Cecelia, she grinned and rushed over to them* "Hi, I'm Alice..." *She kissed Cecelia on the cheek* "Dorien was right...you do smell nice..." *She smiled, obviously at ease* "Hey Dorien...relax...I'm not going to bite her..." *She grinned and laughed a little and made her way out of the room. Dorien relaxed slightly. He was being protective and Alice being so close to Cecelia had made him a little nervous.* "Jasper will be down in a minute...." *Alice called from the other room*

Cecelia raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Dorien. "You talked to Amy about me?" Now she was just doing it on purpose. She knew the girl's name but obviously didn't want to say it. She shook her head and took a deep breath, knowing she was being childish. "Would you like to tell them, or are we going to tell them together or what?" She was already nervous enough as it was just meeting them but...telling them the news? That was going to be really hard.

"Alice..." *He growled* "She's my sister Cecelia, lay off." *Alice was being nice, like she usually was, and he found it frusterating that she didn't like her* "I'd like to wait a while, if that's ok." *He said, a little short. Alice bound back through the room* "I'll go drag Jasper down here"

She crossed her arms and flipped her hair in the other direction, purposely hitting him with it. "Sister my big bubbly butt..." She smiled a little at her own statement and looked over her shoulder at him. "Alright I'll be nice but if she decides to suddenly want in your pants, there will so be a problem. I'll have to make some garlic soup." She smirked.

*Dorien didn't smile* "I'll be right back. I'm going to go get Jasper..." *He took off up the stairs after alice at vampire speed, obviously offended by Cecelia's comments. He didn't care that he was being stupid about it, he was sick of trying to explain that she was just a sister. He went into the room that he knew jasper and alice to already be in and sat on the floor.*

Alice: "She seems nice. You ok Dorien."
Dorien: "Yeah, I'm good"
*Jasper grinned* "Liam"
*Dorien looked up at him and glared* "Shut up."
"Make me"
"That was mature."
*Jasper pushed Dorien and Dorien pushed back. Before long they were full on fighting, which would appear to be scary, but from them it was just like a regular thing. Alice rolled her eyes and sat, picking at her fingernails*

*From downstairs there were bangs and such that could hbe heard though the ceiling* "BOYS!" *Elizabeth yelled. She looked at Cecelia appolagetically* "Terribly sorry....."

Cecelia shrugged. "Believe me I'm more than used to it. I have many many sisters and we fight all the time. I've never been in anything physical with them but I've deffinately seen more than my share of broken noses." She touched her still-perfect nose. "I don't know if you've heard of my family...The Ferrari's?" She knew if they were around as long as Dorien said they had been that they would have heard of the family thick with death eaters...

"Yes, infact we have." *Simon said. He would have continued but Alice came zipping down the stairs. She crossed and sat on the couch, crossing her arms. She rolled her eyes* "They're so stupid." *She groaned, refering to Jasper and Dorien. The banging around had stopped because they'd stopped fighting, finally*

*Dorien stood and grinned at Jasper. He was the same height as him, but had deep red hair that was almost brown. He was a little older than Dorien, well, he looked older at least. He appeared to be about 21. When they spoke, they spoke quickly enough that their lips just trembled and it sounded like a hum to anyone that wasn't a vampire*

Jasper: "Just give it a chance. wait it out. I just dread when Emmett and Victoria get home. Does she know?"
Dorien: "Yes. She knows I'm bringing a human home. She isn't happy. And cecelia's worrying about Alice...."
Jasper: "She really isn't worrying about the right things..."
Dorien: "I know...."

*Dorien sighed and started downstairs, followed by Jasper.* "Cecelia, this is Jasper..." *He ran a hand through his hair and looked up at her* "It's nice to meet you." *Jasper said and smiled. He walked over and sat with Alice*

Cecelia smiled brightly. "It's very nice to meet you." She took a step toward Dorien and gave him a small peck on the lips. "Forgive me?" she said, sliding her arms around his waist and resting her cheek on his chest. "I'll be nice now, I promise." She reached up to tangle one hand in his hair.

*Dorien sighed* "Alright....one more crack towards her and we're leaving." *He said seriously, leading her over towards the couch that jasper and alice were sitting at. He sat down and pulled her onto his lap*

Alice: "If you decide to have her for lunch, jasper and I were wondering if you'd share with us." *She grinned, obviosuly kidding*
*Dorien held Cecelia closer to his body* "No, she's all mie"
Alice: We think it's gonna storm tonight. Do you wanna stay and play baseball?"
Dorien: "We can stay if you want to Cecelia....Do you want to stay?"

Cecelia giggled at the joke, and when they offered up a game of baseball, she raised one eyebrow. She looked down at her short dress and sighed. "Well, everyone'll get a show...but if you guys don't mind, I suppose I can play. I'm pretty good if I do say so myself." She smiled and brushed down the bottom of her dress, which was about four inches above her knee.

*They all smiled when she said that she wouldn't be able to play in the dress*

Jasper: I guess you've never seen a vamparic game of baseball."
Alice: "No, they do that all the time at hogwarts, remeber?"

*Dorien moved so that he could see her face. He was smiling* "Well.....it really wouldn't be very fair if you played seeing as you don't have the whole super speed, super strength.....thing."

Her hand had been in her purse, looking for something when she came upon a large handful of jelly beans.

"Very cute!" she said, tossing one at Jasper. "Trying to trick me... Get me to play and then run circles around me. Jerk. Hey, you should've bet me money, I would have played anyway and owed you galleons upon galleons because I never would have thought of it." She giggled and put a jelly bean in her mouth. She held one out for Dorien, then winced. "Sorry...I forgot."

"It's alright..." *Dorien picked up the Jelly bean and examined it before handing it back to her*

*Jasper looked at her, then at the jelly bean that she'd thrown at him, endlessly amused.. He threw it at Alice and grinned* "No, I wouldn't have done that." *He said, althought it sounded like he just might have* "If Victoria and Emmett get here soon, then we'll be all good to go

"Do you really think Victoria's going to play?" *Alice asked Jasper, throwing the jelly bean at dorien's face*

Cecelia took a deep breath and took Dorien's hand in hers. "We need to tell them soon... I would say after or during dinner, but you people don't eat so..." She sighed and looked up at him. "Procrastinating doesn't make things easier my love." She leaned in to kiss him, just as a jelly bean flew in their direction.

"Ok, that's it." She reached into her purse and took a handful, throwing the colorful assortment in their direction and laughing, hiding behind Dorien.

*Jasper laughed* "That's ok, I don't mind throwing them at Dorien instead..." *He grinned and picked them up, throwing them at dorien one by one.*

"What do you have to tell us?" *Alice asked, ignoring Jasper as he threw a jelly bean at her instead*

"I'd prefer to wait untill everyone gets here..." *He was suprised that she hadn't yet asked who they were waiting for; he had never mentioned emmett and victoria*

Cecelia fluttered her long eyelashes. "Okay then...If you don't mind my asking, who are we waiting for? I thought there was your mom and dad...your sister and your brother. Although I'll never quite understand how it is that you manage to have a sister and brother who are with each other." She chuckled and leaned into him.

"Well, they obviously arn't really my sister and my brother, just like our mom and dad arn't really our mom and dad." *He sighed* "We are waiting for Emmett and Victoria, our other siblings.....I never told you about them." *He sighed* "Victoria might be a little cold to you." *Jasped made a noise half way between a laugh and a scoff and Dorien shot him a look for it* "We didn't think they'd come home, because they knew....you were going to be here. But Emmett dragged Victoria home at the last minute, so now they're on their way." *He lookde at her to see how she was taking it*

"Oh, they're going to hate me!" she whimpered. "Oh I knew I should have brought more flowers..." She brought her well manicured hands up to her face. "Oh damned you people and the not being able to eat thing! Oh how I could use a whole turkey right about now..." She searched through her purse and pulled out a faux-silver bracelet. "Would she be impressed? Not much eh..."

*Jasper couldn't help but laugh* "Look Victora, she has a bracelet. Love her!" *Alice hit him and looked at Cecelia appologetically*

"You don't have to worry about emmett...he'll like you. He can be intimadating though, so you have to give him a chance....Victoria, however, can be quite stubborn. And she doesn't approve of me being with you....because you're human..."

She crossed her arms and it didn't even strike her to be embarassed or to blush. She pouted. "She was human once too you know. She shouldn't forget that." She huffed and puffed as she usually did when she knew she had no way to win in a situation. "And listen you," she said, pointing at Jasper, "I may be like, 1000 years younger than you but I will so find a way to take you."

*He grinned* "Oh yeah?" *Jasper cracked his knuckled threateningly* "I tihnk I've got a little bit of an upperhand, what with strength, speed...plus I'm devestatingly handsome. Not even Dorien can handle it. I beat him upstairs*

"You did not." *He said, looking at Jasper like he was a moron* "I let you win"
"That's what you always say."
"What's this always buisness? You don't always win. I always win."

Cecelia put a hand over Dorien's mouth. "Yeah well... I'm really pretty and I'm a veela and...." She took a deep breath and glared at him. "And I'm almost six feet tall." She nodded, removing her hand from Dorien's mouth to point it at Jasper. "Oh, and I'm really pretty, old man. I have the advantage of being young and...pretty." She contemplated using her nice smelling blood as a factor, but didn't want to tempt him.

"MmmHmmm...." *He leaned in towards her* "I don't know what you're on about with this old man....I'm only 21..." *He raised his eye brows* "Oh yeah, I remember the other thing......I'm undead, that's right. How could I forget...." *He leaned back in his chair and grinned* "But if you still wanna go....."

Cecelia put her hands on her hips and thrust her chest out. "Bring it buddy. Come on and get me if you're so sure of yourself." She chuckled internally, but felt it was better to pretend she wasn't amused and keep a game face on. She was so glad at least this part of his family didn't hate her like she was sure they would.

((OOC: Alice should get really jealous of the way her and Jasper are playing like this lol))

*Alice rolled her eyes and leaned back in her chair.*
*Elizabeth walked through the room and pushed Jasper back into the chair as well. She smiled at Cecelia and continued on her way*
*Jasper rolled his eyes and leaned foward again* "So, are you gonna stay tonight for baseball?" *He asked Dorien and Cecelia, looking between the two of them*
*Dorien shrugged* "It sounds great to me...I'm never home when it storms so I'd love to play...it's all up to you Cecelia...."

Cecelia chuckled. "We can stay and I'd love to watch you guys play, but I think I'd slow everyone down with my darn human slowness." She chuckled, but did catch the jealousy in Alice's eyes. ((OOC: Yes I did, even if she didn't notice it *nod*)) She leaned back and whispered into Dorien's ear, "Here and I was worried about her taking my man..."

*Jasper coughed and made it sound like 'we can hear you.' He grinned innocently at Cecelia.* "Well, you can sit on the side and watch. They're will be me, alice, emmet, victoria, dorien and dad....mum can be the ref.so I'll take emmett and alice and you can have dad and victoria....."
"If she ever gets here...." *Alice murmered, glancing back at the door*

Cecelia pouted furiously and crossed her arms. "Okay listen, from now on, when I whisper, have the decency to at least pretend it's working okay? Remember little boy, I can still kick your ass and don't think I won't because I am big and scary and...Have nice legs." She shrigged, not being able to think of anything else to say. "Stupid supernatural hearing..."

*They all grinned, but turned when they heard someone approaching in a car from very far off. Alice and Jasper were up off the couch and on by the door waiting. Dorien's parents appeared as well and were waiting. Dorien however, didn't move. He stayed seated with Cecelia still on his lap. Alice bit her lip, thinking, and then pulled Jasper back to the couch and sat back down where they had been* "We want her to know that we're ok with you..." *Alice explained quietly to Cecelia, under her breath*

Cecelia nodded, and started to get really nervous. She turned her head to look at Dorien. "Is this inappropriate?" she asked, referring to the fact that she was in his lap. She just really wanted these people to like her. "I'm a little afraid that you didn't mention these people to me before. You told me about all the others..."

*He shook his head* "I didn't think it was going to be necessary....I would have told you about Emmett but then I was afraid that you would ask if he was alone, and I didn't want to just lie to you, sao I just stayed clear of it. Victoria and I are close, and she just doesn't want me to get hurt." *Dorien showed no sign of wanting her off his lap*

Cecelia leaned into him and took his hands. "Maybe I can keep my mouth shut and she'll think I'm one of her. I can run you know..." She looked to Jasper, then to Alice, and then back at Dorien. "If she kills me I'll miss you." She leaned in and hid her face in his neck, then sat back up, trying to keep calm.
