I'm so sorry that I'm late. Was out all day with my family yesterday so I'm gonna start updating on Saturdays.

Done. Now all I have to do is let my painting dry before I hang it up. It's of my family on Nessie's birthday with all of us smiling at her while she blows out the candles on her cake. She has really grown quickly these past few years. She's only four, but looks like she's eleven or twelve. If only I could have my own... I love all of my children, of course, but it truly isn't the same.
I heard some footsteps and turned around, "Yes Bella?" "I wanted to give you this before we left for the cottage," she said. Nessie came up behind Bella and added, "I didn't know that we received mail here, or that anyone even knew our address."
"Thank you Bella," I said as I took the envelope from her, "we really aren't supposed to receive anything in the mail, but there is the occasional letter." "Also," Bella said, "Edward, Nessie, and I will be hunting tomorrow, so we'll see you on Thursday." "Alright," I said as I took the envelope, "goodnight girls, I'll see you on Thursday then," Bella replied, "goodnight Mom" while Nessie replied, "goodnight Grandma."
I beamed at them. I love it when I'm called Mom by any of my children and Grandma by Nessie. They left the house quickly afterwards. I finally looked at the envelope and it had, "To Carlisle and Esme Cullen," written on it in elegant script.
I ran up to Carlisle's office and knocked, come in," came his voice. I walked in and handed him the envelope, "Carlisle, what do you think this is? It came through the mail," "Well, let's open it and find out," was his reply. I smiled sheepishly as he smiled back, a bit amused, and gestured me towards him. I sat on his lap as he ripped open the envelope and began to read out loud'
"Dear Friends,
I, again, apologize the misunderstanding a few years ago concerning Renesmee. We have acquired a new member of the guard that might be of interest to you. My brothers and I extend an invitation for you to come for a week long visit in Volterra. Though, I'm afraid, that we won't be able to accommodate the entire family. the invitation is only extended to Carlisle and Esme. I hope to see you soon.
Your Friend,
Aro"
"What do we do?" I asked after a second of silence. "We can't say no, it's a literal summons," he said. I though for a moment, "Why would he want us there, we don't have powers that he wants and he only invited us." "We're going to have to hope for the best," he said. I stared at the letter contemplating what Aro plans to do. What does he think will be so interesting to us? There's a big change coming. I can feel it.
I hope you liked it! r&r
