AN: This is just a small snapshot of when Nix was, oh, about two or so. Thanks for the one review I've already gotten, I'm gonna finish it, don't worry. Now, onto the filler...Err, I mean, the snapshot! DISCLAIMER: I don't own Twilight, no matter how much I want to. But I DO own Phoenix, Miles and Lily!
The small child, who was named Phoenix Hale, looked at the pale snowflakes surrounding her family. It was winter in Forks, Washington. Alice Cullen and Jasper Hale were outside with Nix, as Phoenix liked to be called. Nix was astounded by the white little flakes falling onto her. Jasper chuckled at the tiny girl's innocence, that seemed to have been inherited from her mother.
"Pretty..." Was all that Nix could murmur, as the tiny particles clung to the wool and cotton of her clothes. "S'like a buncha pieces of ice cweam." Nix observed as the milky snowflakes fell to the covered ground.
"Yeah, that's what it's like. It's called snow, Nix." Alice said, as Nix caught some snowflakes in her gloved hand. "It comes a bunch here, every year."
"Really? It'll come again?" Phoenix asked, and Jasper nodded. The feelings surrounding the three was overwhelming to the blond, tall vampire. But the swirling of excitement, happiness, and love influenced Jasper. He felt those feelings, so everyone else did.
"It'll always come back, Nix. The snow has to, and the pretty white snow will be here all the time for three months in a year." Jasper taught, and Nix nodded happily, beaming up at her father. The small two year old giggled, she was quite smart for her age.
"Yah!" Nix shouted with glee. She hugged her parents happily. Alice grinned, and so did Jasper. "Where's Nessie? Has she seen this stuff before?"
"Yeah, Nessie's seen the snow a lot." Alice replied happily, as Jasper lifted Nix up. "Everyone loves the snow, even Auntie Rose."
"Woha...Even Auntie Rose likes the snow!" Nix exclaimed in shock. "I'll go get Nessie!" Nix said, leaping out of Jasper's arms and running off to get her cousin.
Alice giggled happily, as Jasper hugged her. They both laughed, soprano and bass mixing and swirling together. They could both hear the excited shouts of Nix, then Nessie, and Esme's worried shouts, harmonizing with Bella's.
"You think Nix'll grow up the right way here?" Jasper asked, his voice serious.
"What do you mean?" Alice uttered quietly.
"That she'll go along the right path. Y'know, she won't be some cruel thing, like...Maria."
"Of course. As long as she has us, we'll never let her go that way. Never ever, I can promise that."
"Exactly what I thought, Alice." Jasper chuckled, as Nix and Nessie ran out, shrieking with laughter. Edward and Emmett had squirmed out, as well, Bella trailing behind. Jasper smiled slyly and went to join in on the little game, Alice dancing behind him.
