"Daddy, why won't Momma stop pacing?" Renesmee asked, pressing her fingers against Edward's neck.

"Mommy's just worried about Jacob, darling," Edward murmured, stroking her hair.

Renesmee and her father were sitting on her bed, watching Bella pace nervously. Nessie was sitting in Edward's lap and they were both watching Bella.

"But Jake told her he'd be a while," Nessie said. "And it's only been a week."

"I know," Edward said, memories reflecting in his eyes. "But she'll worry, regardless of how much anyone assures her."

"She worries too much," Nessie sighed.

Edward laughed and she giggled. Bella looked up for a moment, before creasing her pale brow and resumed pacing. There was a slight grinding noise and Nessie looked at her wooden bedroom floor. She frowned and patted Edward's face.

"Daddy, will you get someone to fix my floor?" Renesmee asked.

Edward glanced at Bella's feet, which had paced a thirty-centimetre ditch in Renesmee's bedroom floor. The three of them had been there since dawn, and it was then noon. He laughed quietly and pressed his face into Nessie's hair. Sunlight beamed through the window and reflected off of Bella and Edward. Renesmee gleamed like a pearl, mysterious and subtle.

The family looked up as leaves and twigs crackled outside the window. They saw a big red-brown wolf flanked by a sandy wolf and a grey wolf. Bella threw the glass pane open and jumped out the window. Nessie climbed onto Edward's back and they went outside through the door.

When they reached the wolves and Bella, Seth, Leah and Jacob had phased back to their human form. Bella was strangling Jacob in a tight hug. Seth was smiling brightly and Leah was trying not to smile at Jacob struggling to breathe. Nessie jumped off Edward's back and ran over to Jacob. She wrapped her arms around his waist and Bella let go of him. She let Jacob hug Nessie tightly because she knew he was probably dying to see her for the time he was away.

"Jacob! What took you so long?" Bella snapped.

"Don't worry, Bells, it is actually good news!" Jacob grinned. "Seth imprinted."

"Oh, congratulations! Where is she?" Bella said excitedly.

"Hiding," Seth replied.

A tiny girl with dark blonde hair, light blue eyes and chalky skin stepped out from behind Seth's back. She clung to his arm nervously. Seth gently pulled her to his side and wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

"This is Calista," Seth said softly.

She waved silently at Bella and Edward. Nessie was beside Jacob, clinging at his hand.

"Why is she so quiet?" Nessie had reached up and pressed her hand to Seth's neck.

Calista opened her mouth to speak and pointed at her throat.

"Cal's a mute," Seth said. "Since she was young she couldn't speak."

Seth wrapped his arm tighter around her and stroked her blonde hair. Cal peeked out from under his arm and smiled at Bella and Edward. Edward smiled back at her and Bella stared. Cal hid her face again, flushing pink. Nessie smiled and reached for Cal's hand. She wrapped her hand around Cal's and held tightly.

"Of course you're welcome to our 'family', Cal," Edward said, smiling.

Cal jumped a little and looked up at Seth.

"Edward can read minds, he's a vampire," Seth explained. "So is Bella and Nessie is a half-vampire, half-human."

Bella, Edward and Nessie raised their hands as their names were mentioned.

"Don't worry," Edward said to Cal. "We only drink animal blood."

Cal sighed in relief and stepped back from Seth. She kept her hand around his and Nessie's. Jacob and Bella smiled as Nessie talked with Cal and Seth. Edward picked Nessie up and held her so she could talk to Cal with more ease.

Nessie showed Cal her powers proudly. She showed her pictures of the rest of her family and pictures of all the other wolves. Cal stared at Nessie in awe and admiration. After about an hour or so, Leah and Jared and Paul came over. Leah had her nose creased, but she beamed at Cal and Seth. She was excited her baby brother had finally imprinted. Leah didn't care if she did, but she wanted her brother to at least. Watching the way he moved around her, like she would break. Maybe she would. Everyone at La Push treated her very carefully. Leah's opinion of the Cullens had lifted a bit since the Italian blood suckers had left and they were living quietly.

Sam and Emily had gotten married. Leah wasn't especially happy to be Emily's Maid of Honour, but she didn't want to ruin it for the perfect pair. It turned out that her mother Sue Clearwater was very good at planning weddings. Alice Cullen wanted to go over to La Push to help plan the wedding, so most of the meeting were held at the border. Emily and Sam's wedding was better than perfect. Everything went off without a hitch, and a flustered Leah caught the bouquet.

"I pity that man," Quil called out after Leah had caught the bunch of white and red roses.

Leah went over and punched his shoulder but smiled all the same. Once all the guests had gone Leah pulled Emily and Sam off to the side and genuinely congratulating them, telling them that she had forgiven them, mostly. Emily was crying with relief and Sam looked like someone had pulled the world off his shoulders.

Back in the present, Emmett, Alice and Rosalie had come out of the bigger house. They were introducing themselves to Cal. Jasper stayed inside. Alice and Cal had become good friends in the brief time. Nessie had transferred herself from Edward's arms to Jacob's back.

Edward had to break the happy air.

"Did you get the vampire you were looking for?" Edward asked Jacob.

His face immediately fell and his expression grew solemn. Nessie slid of his back and went over to Bella, grabbing her hand.

"No, it turns out two of those Volturi are here," Jacob replied. "We're not sure which one but when Seth had found Cal we had to back off for a while to get her to safety."

"Did you catch a glimpse of the two Volturi?" Bella asked in a panicky voice.

"Well, there was a boy and a girl," Jacob said slowly. "The girl had light brown hair and bright red eyes and the boy had darker hair and burgundy eyes."

Alice, Rosalie, Bella and Edward immediately froze. They all knew who they were.

"Sounds like the witch twins are in town," Emmett said, breaking the petrified silence.
