One's Company, Two's a Crowd, Three's a Party, Four's a Reunion

Bella POV

It's been thirteen years since Edward and I got married. All the kids are back home in some sense or another. Not all of them live under our roof, but in their own houses on the same property. Well, all of them accept two. I don't know what happened. One day they were at the wedding, the next at the funeral and then they were gone. They just left. I remember the way she acted so clearly I should have known something was wrong.

"Cassie sweetie," I said as she just stared at one of the two coffins that had been lowered to the ground.

'He's dead, Marcello's dead…I told him1 Mom! I told him, not to be stupid and go spy on the Romanian's! I told him! I told him he was being stupid like he was when he went his stupid crusade when Maria died! I told him! I told him to just let his dad go and not go at all! Hell I told him not to join the guard Mom!"

"Cassie I know sweetie, I know, and I'm sorry," I said and cried as I watched her cry. Marcello joined the volturi guard, with his father and he offered to spy on the Romanian's to be with his father who was sent on the mission with six other guards. Four died, and four came back. Marcello's father died and Marcello having watched it lost control and attacked getting himself killed. One of the guards heard his message, his last words, Cassie, I love you, sorry take care, and then he died.

"Cassie, sweetie, let's go inside its going to rain," I said feeling the light drizzle. Cassie shook her head. She was being stubborn. I just stood there with her until it started to rain. Then I dragged her inside the castle.

"I hate him," Cassie said.

"No you don't," I said.

"Yes, I do…because he knew. He knew," she said and walked out of my room. She had a hand to her stomach. Her hand touched her stomach maybe two dozen times today. Cooper had looked at her worriedly each time. Maybe she's sick. I'll ask her tomorrow.

I never got to ask her. I never did because when morning came I had gone hunting and when I came back and asked about Cassie everyone was quiet. They told me she and cooper went for a walk. When they started to get worried they called them only to have their phones ringing in her room. Under the phones they found a note. They held it for me to take and I opened it.

"Mom, Dad, Remy, Asher, Lukas, Briar, Roman, Evan, Korri, Aunt's Uncle's, Grandparents. I'm sorry. I am truly sorry for the position I have put you in. I have no choice though. Either I stay and have this family be ridiculed by the population of our kind or I leave making our kind think I have decided to go off and live on my own and explore the world. I promise to be safe, to take care of myself and cooper. I will be fine, and I assure you that I am okay and in a clear state of mind as I write this. You see, Marcello didn't mean for me to take care, he wants me to take care of something and I will. I'm sorry for leaving the way I did, but to be honest of I told you I was leaving you would have locked me up in my room with a guard on watch. I love you all and don't worry about me. If anything worry about Cooper thinking he's a mechanic and can do anything. I love you and don't worry."

Cooper's letter was under hers and it was short, but to the point.

"I'm sorry for leaving the way I have. I'll miss you all and I love you. I'm not letting Cassie go on her own though. She is the woman I love. I am going with her. I will make sure she is okay. I will protect her, shield her, keep her fed and clothed, make sure there is roof under over her head. I will make sure she is okay, I promise you that I will give my life for her if it is necessary…I love you all, don't forget that."

We were all sad, all angry, all hurt. I haven't seen either of them since that day. But that might change today. Alice had a vision three weeks ago. A girl walked into a house and a picture of Cassie was on the wall. We located this house. It's in North Carolina, in the Mountains next to the town of Marion. Its where were in right now.

"Are we there yet?" I turned around and looked at Roman and Evangeline's daughter Kennedy. Briar and Lukas's son Anthony was asleep in his car seat.

"Almost just a few more miles," Alec said and she nodded. The ride was bumpy. There was no road to this house. Well, there tire tracks that were leading to it, but the entrance is really hard to find.

"You feeling okay sweetie?' I asked. Ken shook her head. I grabbed her and settled her on my lap. Roman and Evangeline are in a separate car. Since this is the only car that you can put a car seat in. 'It's just a little while longer. I promise." Sarah nodded and rested her head to my chest.

A few minutes later Alec stopped the car and I got out. Kennedy seemed happy to be out of the car. The fresh cool air making her feel better. Apparently the fresh cool air made every half vampire feel better.

"Leave it Cassie to have a house up in the hills, where you have to go on a windy, bumpy road to get to it. Alec drove the car and hid it in the tree's we went by foot or in Kennedy and Anton by being carried on someone's shoulder. We ended up in a clearing and a huge red barn was in the middle. It wasn't a barn though it was house. We stopped walking when smelt the scent in the air.

"Cassie and Cooper," I said and I wanted to run into the house. The sound of laughing stopped me though. I saw a boy, maybe three or four years of age running. He came from out of the corner of the house. Another boy about ten or eleven came out running behind him. He grabbed the little boy and turned him around. He took both of the boy's hands and started to swing him. They were interrupted by a girl's voice.

"Stop doing that! You're going to break his wrists," the girl said, "Get inside its getting cold." The older boy shook his head.

"Yeah Peter get inside,' the little boy said pushing the older one.

"Shut up Masen," the older boy said. They walked into the house and closed the door behind him. I looked at Alice.

"Are you sure this is it?" I asked her.

"Oh come on. If this isn't it I'm not going in the car to get down from here. I need a day's rest from driving up here," Lukas said.

"I'm positive," Alice stated and we all nodded. Jane looked at me and I nodded. It was me and Edward in the front. The rest of the family in the back. Jane and Alec behind the family. Felix and Demetri were with the rest of the family down in Marion. We'd call them if we found them. The kids just had to come along. It's a good think, Korri and Julius stayed down with the family. Korri being pregnant and all would have thrown up one too many times on the ride here.

I realized we were at the front of the house. We heard a silverware fall.

"Peter, get Masen and go to the nursery. Do not come out unless I say so," a girl's voice said a bit scared, yet determined. We heard running and then silence. Slowly footsteps came towards the door.

I knocked. The door opened and a girl about thirteen opened it. a hybrid girl, she had dark brown hair, brown eyes, and pale skin. She looked at me and then at everyone else. She seemed even more scared now.

"C…Can I help you?" she asked.

"Yes," I heard Edward say, "I am looking for someone?"

"I-I-I'm s-sure whoever your l-looking for isn't here," she said.

"We won't hurt you," Edward said.

"Load of bull, vampires don't come in a large numbers unless it's to hurt someone. Get off my property." She went to close the door but I stopped it.

"I'm looking for my daughter and son. Cassie Swan and Cooper Davenport. They ran away thirteen years ago," I said. She looked at me shocked. "Do you know them?" I asked. She closed the door, but forgot to lock it.

"Hello," I heard and it was Cassie's voice. That's all I needed. I opened the door and took the phone from the girl who hadn't even said anything yet, but she screamed. "Adrian!" Cassie yelled.

"Cassie Spencer," I said into the phone.

"Mom, Oh my god, Mom, just don't do anything please, mom, I'll explain just don't hurt them…oh god, Mom please put Adrian on the phone, please," Cassie begged and heard Cooper whispering. I gave the phone to the girl whose name is Adrian.

"m-m-mom," Adrian said shakily. The entire family and I gasped.

"Adrian, sweetie don't panic okay. Your dad and I are on our way, these aren't bad people okay. Just don't give them attitude especially the two blonde's. The one in the cloak and the one next to the guy that looks like he's on steroids okay. Just calm down go to the nursery and I'll be there. I promise everything will be okay," Cassie said.

"M-mom, there's like an army," Adrian said and by now the entire family was looking at this thirteen year old girl.

"I know baby, just do as I say okay, I'll be right there. I love you," The phone disconnected. Adrian looked at it. In less than a second the phone was on eth floor and she was gone. I heard running and then a door open and close.

"What's wrong? You look like you're about to crap your pants," the boy peter said.

"S-s-shut up," the girl Adrian said. "V-Vampire's in the house. M-m-mom and dad on their way."

"What," Peter stated shocked. It then got quiet. We could only hear their heartbeats upstairs. There were four heartbeats upstairs.

We heard movement and then saw the boy coming down the stairs. It was peter. He didn't look at us. He seemed to be in his own little world. He walked into another room and I heard a refrigerator open, close than a microwave, the beeping of a microwave and the it to opened and closed. I saw him walked back upstairs. He had two bottles in his hands. He ran up the rest of the steps and knocked a tune on the door. The door opened then closed.

"Here," peter said.

"T-thanks," Adrian stuttered.

"Heads together," Peter stated and it was silent. "Okay, sounds good." It was quiet after that. they seemed to be resting. I looked around the house and it was literally designed to fit a family. The chalk wall in the hallway where obviously kids had drawn on it. The writing on it made me laugh, it said, "Remember as far as anyone knows we are a perfectly normal family."

Footsteps mad me go back to the living room. the boy peter was humming to himself. He then opened his mouth.

"Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away," he said and jumped off the rest of the steps which was five steps. He landed perfectly. He started to walk towards the front door.

"Do you know Cassie/" Edward asked. The boy looked at him.

"No, hook I do not know anyone by the name of Cassie," he said. Edward looked at the boy.

"Where are you going?" Edward said.

"Want to hear a rhyme," Peter said enthusiastically. He obviously hadn't paid attention to what Edward said.

"Sure," Emmett stated.

"Run, Run, Run," the boy said slowly running to the front door. He opened it, "As fast as you can, you can't catch me," he said and he stepped out. He smiled, "Because I'm Peter Pan!" he yelled and ran off the front steps.

"Shit, get back here," Emmett yelled. We all ran outside and he was know where.

"Looking for mwa," we turned around and looked at the roof. "Over here," we heard and we turned around, "Actually right behind you." we turned around but he wasn't there. "Honestly didn't you listen to the rhyme…let me repeat myself, run, run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me because, I'm PETER PAN!" I looked up a bit.

"Edward," I said and the boy was in the air.

"Hahaha," peter laughed. He flew around on expertly, he pretended to lay on his back, swim, did a superman stance. "You should try this?" he said than laughed. "Sorry I don't have fairy dust." He got close to arms reach, but he was teasing. He came down close and then shot up in the air and flew. We followed; he was fast, like really fast. He stopped and so did we. We could hear him flying. We split up and I heard him fly somewhere else. I turned around and flew. I found myself in a clearing with family.

"Where did he go?" I asked.

"The house," Alice stated. We all ran back to the house and we ran in.

"Where is he?" I asked. Lukas and the others shrugged.

"I thought you lost them," we heard Adrian.

"I did, I bought us time. I don't see you risking your life…I think that WWF boxer guy crushed my leg," we heard Peter say I ran upstairs. "Oh shit. Masen come on." I opened a door and saw the girl Adrian handing peter the other boy Masen. Peter grabbed him and he was off. I looked around the room and realized it was a nursery. The girl Adrian stood protectively over a round crib. There was a tree on the corner. On the wall was a quote, "When the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies." The crib was big but circular it was designed as a tree, it had two white bulb flowers coming out of it. a pink cloth was connected to it which went across to the other side and connected to what looked like a tree branch. It made shade for the crib. This room was magical in a sense.

"Did you find him?" Edward asked, I shook my head. a small gurgle was heard and Adrian stepped closer to the crib. She put her hand into and looked at us.

"Get out," Adrian said.

"brrr, brrr, adri, adri," we heard, then a slight whimper. Adrian turned around and reached into the crib. She pulled out a baby, maybe a year and a half old. It was a girl, she looked a bit like Remy with a mix of Cassie when they were babies. The baby rested it head on Adrian's shoulder and Adrian expertly started to sway left and right. The baby started to hit Adrian's face. Adrian grabbed a bottle and gave it her. the baby started to drink it.

"Come down stairs and wait with us." I stated. Adrian looked at me.

"N-No," she stated. I raised an eyebrow. She looked scared.

"Your going answer questions for us until your mom gets here," I said. I want answers damn it.

"You want answer's go into the living room and look around," she stated. She held the baby closer to her. She grabbed second bottle, a bag and walked out of the room. She listened to me. I thought that until I heard a door down the hallways shut and lock.

Again it was silence, pure silence. That was until Lukas looked around and we all looked at him quizzically.

"Where's Ken and Anton?" he asked. We all looked at him and he stood up walking around the place, roman, Evangeline, and Briar running around looking as well. We could hear them start to yell their names frantically.

"Daddy," we heard Anthony say from outside. Lukas and Briar were back in the living room along with Roman and Evangeline.

The door opened and in walked two people, one I recognized, the other I didn't. Both were holding one of my missing grandchildren. They were looking at each other. The older man put Kennedy down and my youngest daughter put Anthony down.

"Only your brother would loose his own kid," the man said. Cassie laughed.

"May I remind you of Disney world," Cassie said and the man shut up. Cassie turned and looked at us.

"Hey," she said. We them heard a loud shrill from upstairs and Cassie upstairs before anyone could respond. The man Cassie came in with smiled and looked at us.

"I'd hug you, but I'm sure you want to kick my ass for leaving," he stated. Evangeline was the one who gasped. "I missed you, Evan… I knew she had to be your daughter, she looks a bit like you and Roman."

"Cooper," Evangeline whispered and hugged him. Evangeline just hugged him and he hugged her back kissing her head. Evangeline stepped back and started to pound him in the chest. That was until she hit him in a certain area on his chest where his face scrunched up in pain.

"What happened?" she asked.

"Cassie and I were hunting when Adrian called," he said and Evangeline nodded. I stood up and looked at Cooper. He put his head down. "I'm sorry, you must hate me. I couldn't let her leave alone."

"Where's Peter!"Are heads all turned upstairs?

"I-I don't know, I panicked and I had him escape with MJ. MJ was about to have a panic attack I needed them safe,"

"No, you did okay. You did excellent, you did exactly what I would've done," Cassie said.

We saw Cassie come down stairs with Adrian behind her and the baby in her hands.

"Where's my son?" Cassie asked and we all somewhat gasped. The boys look a little to much like Cassie and cooper for me not to know who they were. The girl Adrian though, I still don't know.

"He flew away," Roman stated. Cassie didn't look surprised.

"Of course he did it's his power," Cassie practically yelled. She was pacing back and forth worriedly.

"yeah, it took us a while to realize that until he repeated the ginger bread man rhyme, but instead at the end he said he's peter pan," Emmett stated. Cassie and Cooper looked at each other. Cooper was then gone. The little girl woke up. She looked at Cassie and giggled making Cassie smile widely.

"Hey darling," Cassie said and kissed the baby on the head. "You want to play?" Cassie asked. the baby didn't answer. Cassie put her down. "Adrian go to the playroom and watch all the kids."

"W-What kids?" Adrian asked. Cassie pointed to Kennedy and Anthony.

"if that's okay with the parents of course," Cassie said, "if you want to see its down the hall last door to the right." Evangeline and Briar stood up and took the hands of the kids and followed Adrian. They came back though, then it got serious.

"Why did you leave?" Remy asked angrily, just as the door opened and the rest of the family came in. when I say rest mean volturi guard, Seth, his mate Grace, Leah and her husband Taylor.

"Great just what I need…She's going to have a heart attack now," Cassie mumbled.

"I've missed you darling…Now as your sister asked, why did you leave?" Aro asked her.

"I had to," Cassie said and sat down.

"Well that isn't an excuse," Athenadora stated. Cassie rolled her eyes. Athenadora was looking at the pictures, "Lovely children you have, the eldest girls is his isn't she, She is Marcello's daughter that's why you left." Cassie looked at her surprised, but nodded.

"What!" I yelled. Cassie stood up immediately.

"Romanians saw me cry at his funeral. The next day Cooper and I snuck out through the library passage; we walked and ran into a Romanian. Marc's last words were take care of her. He said her, when I told him I was pregnant he said that he thought it was a girl and he was right. The Romanian also told me Marcello had a power. He was a mental chameleon or ghost. If he thought hard enough for people not to see him, they didn't see him. the Romanian I guess heard a heartbeat coming off of me because he knew, he knew and he threatened to take my child away and I would be damned if I let that happen! I was the first hybrid to get pregnant, I was scared and I would have nightmares that if I told you, my punishment for ridiculing this family would be that you would take my child away and make me watch as someone else raised her."

"A Punishment worthy of what you did," Athenadora said. Cassie looked at her.

"Who the hell invited you? My house, my rules, get the fuck out," Cassie stated. Cassie's hands turned into ice. Athenadora looked shocked. I was surprised the Cassie could silence her.

"Do you have more to say?"Edward asked.

"Not really, except for I'm sorry, and I Cooper and I did graduate from college. we just added like four Cassie swans to the database and NEC and two Cooper Davenports to BU and none of them had our picture as Id's and when you clicked on the one that did it would say Not Attending making you think we dropped out."

"Genius," Briar said.

"I know,"Cassie stated. The door opened and Cooper came in carrying Peter and Masen ran to Cassie. Cassie picked him up.

"What happened?" Cassie asked worriedly.

"WWF, Vampire Grabbed my foot. I think he broke it," Peter said, he was sweating and his face an expression of Pain

"Who?" Cassie asked, her facial expression of that of a mother bear whose baby bear needed protecting.

We all followed Peter's finger and he pointed to Emmett.
