I'm gonna be working really hard on this story and I'm excited about it :), so without further ado...

"Auntie Alice, come see!"

I was instantly at Nessie's side. She held up her picture she'd drawn for me to see. It was a picture of she and I. In a store by the look of it, well that and all the bags she had drawn me holding. I chuckled. Thats my girl.

I hugged her tightly. "Its beautiful Ness!" She giggled. I looked at her smiling face. In the past year years she'd become even more stunning. She looked and acted as a mature six or seven year old rather than her one year. It was incredible. But she did seem to be slowing down, which had been a relief for the entire family. She placed her hand on my neck and I was swept up into our last shopping trip. I chuckled thinking about how Bella had done her best not to freak out over the carload of bags that Nessie and I had managed to haul into her and Edward's cottage. Nessie nodded, understanding my laugh and focused on the memory of her mothers face that day, smiling.

In the next second, Jasper swept into the room, hauling Nessie into his arms and smiling brightly at me. "And how are the two most stunning creatures on this earth?"

Nessie laughed and wrapped her arms tightly his neck. "Uncle Jazz!"

He smiled and picked up her picture and laughed loudly, no doubt enjoying that Nessie had manged to capture my passion in a picture.

"And where might I find the artist of this picture?" Nessie raised her hand proudly. But whatever response Jasper made was lost on me.

I was no longer in the living room.

She was beautiful. Her hair was a black as midnight and curled gently around her shoulders. Her eyes were a strange color, a sharp, penetrating, icy evergreen, glowing as only a vampire's can. She was hissing in anger. She was fighting someone...

And then everything abruptly shifted.

"Welcome to our home Miss Anya." Carlisle said, smiling slightly.

"Thank you." Anya responded. She smiled as Carlisle introduced her to the rest of my family...

"Auntie Alice?" My eyes focused back on Reneseme. She looked worried.

"What is it Alice?" Jasper asked.

"There's a new vamp on the way." I said. "I dont know much about her, it was a bit confusing but she'll be here within the week." Jasper nooded.

I kissed Nessie on her head. "Gonna go talk to Carlisle."

I found him in his study. "Hey Carlisle you got a minute?"

Carlisle smiled at me. "Always Alice. Everything okay?"

"There's a new vamp on the way. Her name is Anya. She's different from most vampires. I dont know what it is, my vision was short. But I know I saw you welcoming her to our home."

Carlisle nodded. "Do you see her causing problems for our family?"

I shook my head. "This is my first time seeing her but I'll try to keep an eye on things."

Edward was waiting as I stepped out of Carlisle's office. Little old for eavesdropping arent we? Edward smirked at my thought. "Maybe." He looked at me. "This vampire... I saw her in your mind. What do you think is so different about her? And more importantly, do you think she'll pose a threat to our family?" He inhaled sharply. "After dealing with the Volturi... I just dont want want Nessie in any danger. If this woman poses a threat--"

Edward, I interrupted his rant with my mind. I dont know anything yet. I dont see her hurting anyone in our family so until I know more, dont stress yourself out. She'll be here soon and we'll find out who she is.

Edward sighed. "I know." He kissed my head. "Jasper's waiting for you upstairs."

I found Jasper pacing our room. I watched him as he walked quickly around the room, walking faster than any human ever would. He was muttering to himself, low even for my ears, but I caught something about Edward and anxiety being unhealthy. I laughed, running at him and knocking him effectively into the Aerolo Chaise lounge chair I had just ordered online.

I curled up close to him, hiding my face in his neck. "You okay?" I murmured.

I felt him nodding his head. "Fine. Edward's emotions can be overwhelming when they revolve around protecting Bella or Nessie. He's just put me a little on edge thats all." I ran my hands through his blonde hair. And just for a moment, I felt myself lose focus.

Edward was running through the woods. I could hear Bella's laughter as she chased after him... and then I saw the reason behind the evening sprint.

I laughed as I came back to the present.

"Why dont I help take your mind off things?" I whispered mischeviously. I let every ounce of love I felt for my husband flow over him. He growled playfully and his lips covered mine.

"Oh, for the love of---" I heard Edward's annoyed voice.

I heard Bella's laughter as I heard the door close behind Edward's hasty exit. Jasper chuckled, unrepentent.

"I love you Jazz." I whispered.
