Sara Beth blubbered, her innocent eyes haunted by something. "He's going to kill Grandma Nessie."


Chapter Two

My hand shook as I dialed the familiar nine digit number. I had speed dial, but something always made me feel better when I actually dialed the numbers myself.

Sammy looked at me with half a smile, trying to settle my own nerves, but I knew that not even my imprint could calm me down right now.

"Abby! So good to hear from yo-" The voice on the other end said, an obvious smile on his face.

"Now isn't the time, Dad." I said, trying not to growl. "Where's Mom?"

I could practically feel the worry on his expression now. I felt bad about upsetting him, but I also knew that this was too serious to waste any time with.

"She's sitting right next to me, Abs, why?" Jacob Black asked, his voice more than concerned for his imprint.

"Sara Beth...I just, I think that maybe we should have Edward check her out after all." I said at last in barely a whisper, eyeing my now sleeping ten year old on the bed.

"What's wrong?" Jacob asked and I could hear Nessie in the background trying to pry information from him as well.

"She...she had that nightmare again." I admitted, letting a long sigh exhale.

"Oh." Jacob responded blankly.

This was the third time in a week that my only human child had had a terrifying nightmare about some unknown man with glowing red eyes attacking Renesmee Cullen-Black.

She would never go into too many details, but from what Sammy and I had gathered, she believed it to be real so we've acted like it was after the second time the man appeared in her dreams. I hated seeing my little girl so upset, but there wasn't anything that I could do.

We had sent for Edward to come back to town as soon as the nightmares continued. I figured that if anyone would know what was going on, it'd be our mindreader. Charlie would have come if we asked, but Philip still didn't know about wolves or vampires and I knew that my sister wanted to keep her human fiancee out of the loop for a little bit longer.

"Yeah." I said weakly. I hated working my father up with a possible threat, but it was better that he be on guard than to not know what was coming if that happened to be the case.

"Do you want us to come over?" Jacob asked a minute later when neither of us said anything.

I looked at the clock on my nightstand. 5:27.

"No, no." I said, trying to keep the fear from my voice. "I think that we'll be okay...Sara Beth is sleeping now."

"If you change your mind, your mother and I are only a few streets away." Jacob reminded me and I smiled at the thought.

When Sammy and I had first got married, he wanted to live on the beach. After six months of renting a run down apartment with a killer view, Dad, Sam, and Sammy decided that we needed an actual house. So they built one for us about a minute's drive from Second Beach where Sammy first imprinted on me all those years ago.

My parents lived in Billy's old house, giving the house that we all grew up in to Skylar who had more than enough children to fill the house with. My sister had one more child than I did and one less than our parents. Eight kids seems like a lot for me to handle, so I don't know how Sky can keep up with nine.

Jacob Junior is the only one of my siblings to still live on the Reservation. He took over the Pack, or what's left of it, and lives in one of the apartments above Black Auto Repair where he and Dad, and any Pack member who didn't move off the Rez or stop phasing to be with an imprint, worked.

Not that the rest of my siblings are that far away...or, well, most of them aren't.

Lleyna and Nahuel live in the cottage behind the Main House (though all of our extended family members had long since moved on to new cities) with their son Jude. He grew like his half sister Jesse did and both children look as old as their young parents. Rosalie and Emmett stuck around, the only family members who did, so that Jesse can spend time with her family. It's hard sometimes having to share Jessica, but Rose wouldn't give up any time that she had with Lleyna's little girl.

Daniel, my nephew, lives in one of the other apartments above Black Auto Repair. I think Spencer would have liked that, had he not died when he was just barely older than my oldest child. Danny loves being on the Rez though, and even if his mom Arrietty didn't live here, I like to think that he still would.

Peter and Sari were allowed to move onto the Reservation a few years ago when most of the Pack quit phasing. The newer wolves, mainly children of my family, completely accept half-vampire Sari and Peter's daughter Melody. She's a quarter wolf and a quarter vampire, but she phases more than she hunts so people don't feel as weird around her.

Only three of my siblings don't live in the immediate area, though Charlie is only a short drive up to Seattle where she has her practice. Lewis and Delinda are in Africa helping underprivileged humans get medical treatment for free while Sophia and Carlos are leading the Cullen Army over Canada right now.

They'd all be back by tomorrow though.

"I know, Dad." I said. "Are you guys still coming over tomorrow for lunch?"

"It's Mother's Day, isn't it?" Jacob said, not really asking since he knew the answer.

Every Mother's Day since all of the kids moved out, we've all gotten together as a family at one of our houses. Those that didn't have a huge house or even a permanent residence would have it at the Main House. This was my year to host it and I couldn't be more excited...until I thought about why I had called my parents in the first place.

"Just...just make sure that Mom gets there safely." I said nervously, thinking of my little girl's dream again.

"No one is going to get her." Jacob practically growled, and I smiled lightly at the conviction in his voice.

"I know, Daddy." I said, letting out a small laugh, though on the inside I was still nervous. "I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay?"

"Alright, Abby." Jacob let out a sigh. I knew that he wanted to come charging over here to 'protect' me, but there was no visible threat that he could fight off, only my own emotions. "And try to get some sleep, okay?"

"Sure, sure." I said, using the phrase that almost all of his kids had picked up from him.

I heard a small chuckle before I pressed the red END button on my phone.
