Tee hee. So, here it is! I've been so excited about this chapter all week, I've just been too busy to write it. I hope you guys like it.

Chapter 2

We quietly entered the inn, the door shutting silently as Rafe laid a hand on my back. Esme walked in the entry hall absent mindedly, the phone pressed to her ear.

"Well, she's not here right now but I-" Esme stopped mid-sentence and smiled. "Never mind, she just walked in. Here she is." I gave her a questioning look as she handed the phone to me, she only shrugged.

"Hello?" I asked, narrowing my eyes as I waited for a response.

"Toni." I gasped, my free hand reaching out and grabbing on to Rafe's forearm.

"Daniel?!" I exclaimed.

"It's so good to hear your voice. I've been trying to reach you for the past month, but no one has been answering the phone," he stated, and I rolled my eyes. Nicolas.

"I'm sorry, there's...there's been a lot going on," I replied, practically bouncing up and down. My brother, Moon, my brother was alive.

"Who is it?" Rafe whispered in my free ear. I shook my head, trying to listen.

"I understand, it's fine. We've got a lot to talk about. Is there some place we can meet?" he asked, voices yelling in the background. "Did you get that?"

"No, who is it?" Daniel laughed, making me smile with pure joy.

"Jacqueline demands to see you. And Tiffany is about to have a heart attack," he answered, my mouth falling open.

"Jacqueline and Tiffany are with you?! Put them on! I want to speak to them!" I nearly yelled, listening as the phone was transferred.

"Antionette, beautiful!" Jacqueline said, tears welling up in my eyes.

"Jackie! Oh Moon, it's so good to hear your voice," I choked, trying not to burst into hysterics.

"I know! We must meet somewhere! I've got so much to tell you!" she responded, her voice thick as she started to cry.

"I promise! Let me talk to Tiff for a minute, okay?"

"Of course. I love you, here she is," she replied.

"I love you, too." I waited as the phone was handed over, making me gettery.

"Toni?!" I laughed, wiping tears from my cheeks.

"Tiffany! Darling! How are you?!" I exclaimed.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm so glad you're okay! I want to see you soon! Promise me!" she demanded, and I nodded even though she couldn't she it.

"I swear on the Moon, love! I swear, alright? Let me talk to Daniel so we can figure it out," I answered.

"Yes, yes. Here he is." More noise as the phone was handed over.

"Where, sister?" he asked forwardly, and I shook my head.

"Where are you?" I questioned, and he laughed.

"Here, in Bucharest!" he said, and I gasped.

"How long have you been here?!"

"An entire month! I told you! Where do you want to meet?" he questioned, increasingly eager. I looked at the clock, reading eight p.m..

"Why not here, at the inn?" I asked, hearing him laugh.

"Great. I'll see you soon, sister."

"I love you," I choked, wiping away another tear.

"I love you, too. We'll be together soon," he said, his voice noticeably tight. I heard the click as the call was ended, and I hung up. I jumped in Rafe's arms, tossing the phone to Esme in the process. Everyone had gathered in entry, wondering what all the commotion was about.

"Who was that?" Rafe asked as he held me at arms length, his hands on my face as his thumbs wiped away my tears.

"My brother, Rafe! My brother Daniel and sisters, Jacqueline and Tiffany! They're alive!" I exclaimed with a huge smile, his hands running through my hair.

"Wait, I thought you said...," Esme started, fading out to let me finish.

"I did, but I didn't know! My Moon, they're alive! They're coming here, I hope that's okay," I said, and she nodded.

"Of course. I hope they'll be able to find us. You know..." Esme's voice faded away as she walked from the room, heading back into the kitchen.

"I can't believe it," Vivian murmured, walking over and hugging me close.

"I know, I can't wait," I responded, wrapping my arms tightly around her torso. Since the incident with Nicolas, Vivian had really warmed up to me. I sure didn't mind.

"Don't worry, I'll keep you occupied," she replied, holding me at arms length and kissing my forehead.

"Try as you might," I stated, and she rolled her eyes. And sure enough, she did try. She insisted on filling me in on all the things that had happened while I was out of commission, which was actually a lot. She failed thought, at least most of the time, and I caught myself looking out the window often. She reached over and slapped me on the head once, demanding my attention as she continued. I only rolled my eyes. That's when I noticed two petite brunettes prancing along the sidewalk, calling back to a tall blonde, begging him to quicken his pace. He only shook his head and continued on. I sprang from my chair and burst out the front door, sliding to a stop on the porch. It was them.

"ANTIONETTE!" they all yelled at once, the girls running up the walk to the gate. I ran down to them just as they opened it, colliding with them. I kissed them, hugging them close before I held them out.

"Oh my. What happened to your face, Jackie?" I asked, and she gasped, a hand shooting up to touch her cheek.

"What?" she questioned. Daniel snorted, shaking his head.

"You still fall for that?" he asked, pulling me into a hug as Jackie frowned at him.

"Sorry, I couldn't resist," I said, smiling at her. She smiled too, shaking her head.

"What about me?" Tiff asked, and I smiled. She had grown into a beautiful girl, her hair cut short, cupping her face gently.

"You look amazing, par usual," I answered, and she smiled. Jackie pulled me into another hug, turning her head to whisper in my ear.

"So, you've found someone worth finding?" she asked, and I smiled.

"How did you know?" I asked, and she laughed.

"Well, he is staring at us from the roof. Not to mention to, naturally, you smell a little different now," my older sister answered, and I nodded. Mates normally never wed, our scent after our coupling is enough to show our love for the other. She held me at arms length and rolled her eyes, making me giggle. I, deciding not to be subtle, looked up at the roof to find Rafe balancing effortlessly on the edge of the building, hands in his jacket pockets as he walked along it's edge, the Moon outlining him. Damn him for being so sexy, I thought, turning back to the others before I did something I might of regret.

"Is he going to kill us?" Tiffany asked quietly, referring to Rafe as she stole a quick glance up at him. I shook my head, smiling at her.

"No. You don't need to worry about him. He doesn't bite, most of the time," I replied, taking my sisters' hands and pulling them towards the building. I watched as Daniel stared up at him for a moment, and then returned his gaze back to the path ahead of him. Esme and Vivian stepped outside, Esme's smile brilliant as she took them in.

"Everyone this is Esme, owner of the inn, and her daughter, Vivian. Esme knew mom and dad," I said, gesturing to each of them in turn. "Esme and Vivian, this is my older brother Daniel, my older sister Jacqueline, and my younger sister Tiffany," I finished, watching them shake hands. Gabriel stepped into the doorway, flanked by Will and Finn. No one spoke for a moment, waiting for him to say something, anything. Esme and Vivian parted to one side, wondering what was going on. Gabriel turned his attention to me, nodding behind me. I turned around just in time to see Rafe hit the ground and glance back at me before taking off across the street. I followed, not stopping to considering saying good-bye to anyone.

"Here," he whispered, pulling me down next to him.

"What's going on?" I asked, pressing my body against his.

"Nicolas has escaped," he stated, and I cursed. I vaguely remembered Vivian telling me how they had him "at a safe location", but she wouldn't tell me where.

"Fan-freaking-tastic. What are we going to do?" I asked, and he looked around.

"Dunno. Take patrols, keep an eye out for anything unusual," he replied, and I frowned.

"Great, just perfect," I grumbled. He touched my face, staring into my eyes.

"He'll never hurt you again, I swear," he promised, pressing his lips against mine. I grabbed his shirt with my fingers, his tongue tasting my neck as I closed my eyes with pleasure. "I swear to you, Antionette." The tip of his lip licked my lower lip, my body begging for more of him as I pressed my chest against his.

"We can't do this," I insisted, his fingertips pressing down on my hips.

"Uh-huh," he mumbled, kissing me again.

"Really." He laughed, licking the nape of my neck and looking at me.

"Your choice," he responded, standing up and rolling his neck. Damn it, I thought, annoyed with myself as I fell back on my butt.

"Fine," I snapped, crossing my arms and glaring at the wall. He smiled, reaching down and lying his lips on mine.

"Com'mon. You're family is waiting," he said, taking my hand and pulling me up. "Maybe we could take them out." I smiled, kissing his jaw.

"Now that would be fun," I responded enthusiastically, and he raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, it would. But, I have a question for you," he replied.

"What?"

"Did you notice Vivian?" What the heck did he mean by that? Then, it came to me, smacking me in the face like a brick wall. The little bump, the slightly slower movements.

"Ohmigoodness! No. Oops," I answered, putting a hand over my mouth. "Wow." He laughed, wrapping his arm around my waist protectively and leading me back to the inn.

"I didn't think so," he commented as we crossed the street. He opened the door for me and we stepped inside, instinctively turning our heads towards the conversation coming from the kitchen. We sauntered into the room, everyone suddenly quieting.

"Oh for Pete's sakes," I said as I rolled my eyes, making my sisters laugh. They plunged back into the conversation. I sat down next to them, watching as Daniel nodded for Rafe to follow him out of the room.

"I can't believe he's going to play threatening brother," I grumbled, and Jackie laughed.

"Your a moron. What'd you except him to do?" she asked.

"Your a whore, and I expected him to act accordingly," I retorted, making Tiffany grin.

"And he is," Tiffany stated, and I snorted.

"Sure."

WHOOO!! She has siblings! Yay! But, what will happen with Nicolas.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the more reviews an author gets the more that author wants to write the next chapter? Interesting, isn't it?
