"It's your sister's wedding, Jo. You should go. Bella would love to see you and the kids." My mom's voice said through the speaker as I walked around the kitchen. The sun was barely peeking over the horizon, shining the barest of light into the room. It's way to freakin' early to deal with this, I thought sourly looking at the oven clock. I could still be gettin' some sleep.

"Josie, you still there?" Mom asked, irritation creeping into her voice.

Yawning, I replied," Yeah, still here. Mom...I don't know. Me and Bells didn't exactly end on good terms the last time we saw each other. Plus, I don't know if I can take time off to come down." I pause at the table and lean against it. "She might not want me there, ya' know."

I heard mom huff on the other end of the line," Of course she wants you there Jo, you're her sister after all...What do you mean you might not be able to come down?"

"Unlike some people," I said pointedly," I have a job. Hannah and Danny had been sick a lot a few weeks back and I had to use many of my personal days." I shrugged," Henry might not be able to let me take a few days off. Also, the kids have missed much of the second quarter, I don't want them to get further behind in class. "

"Well, at least try and be here Jo. It's in four days, okay? I gotta go, love you."

" I love y-"Beeep. Well then.

I glance back over to the clock. "Six-forty three," I muttered under my breath," Six-freaking-forty three. Might as well start breakfast." WIth that thought in mind, I walked over to the fridge and grab a few things.

"Mommy?" a tired voice said behind me as I poured pancake batter into the skillet. I turned around and saw Hannah's freckled face peering up at me. She walked up to me and wraped her arms around my legs," What are you doin'?"

I smiled down at her and pushed some of her hair off her face," Just fixin' breakfast sweetie. Pancakes and bacon sound good to you?"

"Yeah. I'm tired."

I laughed quietly,"Then go back to sleep sweetie."

"Danny's snoring...Mommy the pancake's burning."

"Shi-shot,"I said, correcting myself quickly. I turned around and flipped it with the spatula, wincing when I saw the burnt, black side of the pancake.

"Mommy," my daughter said in the warning kind of tone," that's a bad word."

"Yeah momma, bad, bad word," another voice said. "That's a quarter for the jar."

"G'morin' Danny-boy," I said as he hopped onto the countertop. He grinned at me.

"Danny...what happened to your teeth," I asked slowly, noticing two gaps where his front teeth should've been," They were there last night."

He held out his hand and showed me two, slightly bloody teeth. "Lost 'em this morning when I woke up."

Okay. "Go wash them and put them somewhere safe and we'll put them under your pillow tonight," I told him, ruffling his brown hair, the same color as his sister.

Hopping off the counter, he walked down the dimly lit hallway and disappeared around the corner.

"MOM, the pancake," Hannah reminded me again.

"Ugh," I grumbled and took out the hard disk of batter. "I don't think anyone will eat this." I opened the lid to the trash can and throw it in.

I looked at the stack of pancakes and sighed," You know what? I think pancakes will just be it this morning."

At the Cullen's House

"So what did she say?" Bella asked as her mom ended the call. Bella was flipping through one of her books, bored out of her mind as Alice and the other two Cullen women made final arrangements for her wedding. I can't wait for this to be all over, she thought.

Renee gave her a bright smile, "She said she'll probably be able to make it with her kids, but she isn't for sure." Renee bit her lip and twisted her ring that adorned her finger," Bell, maybe, when Jo comes, you should try to make up with her? It's been awhile since...what happened, you two should try to make amends."

Bella looked up at her mom and groaned. "Mom, I've told you before, I'll apologize when she admits that she was in the wrong. It was her fault anyway. "

"Bell."

"Mom."

Renee walked up to Bella and smoothed out a few stray hairs before cupping her daughter's cheek. "I just want you two to be sisters again. But, I'll leave this decision up to you."

Bella smiled, "Thanks mom."
