Chapter 2

Two days later, Renesmee and Bella were in town looking for books. It was the only type of shopping Bella didn't mind doing especially with her daughter.

"So what kind of books are we looking for Renesmee," asked Bella and Renesmee picked up a couple.

"I want to learn Italian. Nahuel and I were thinking about taking a trip to Italy, probably Venice." Bella stiffened and Renesmee looked at her confused but then it dawned on her.

"Mom, don't worry, we will stay clear of Volterra." Bella shook her head.

"I don't want you anywhere near Italy do you hear me? Just thinking about you on that continent sends a chill down my spine." Renesmee looked down.

"Mom, I know the Volturi are…."

"No, you don't Renesmee. I don't think you understand just how dangerous they are and I don't plan on seeing them ever again."

"I know what happened mom. I was there and yes it was scary but if it weren't for them I would have never met Nahuel." Bella gave her daughter a look.

"Just do me a favor and stay away from Italy. You are my daughter and what can happen, will happen with our luck." Renesmee hugged her mother and nodded.

"I'll stay away from Italy mom, I promise." Bella kissed her daughter's forehead and sighed in relief before looking at more books.

Rosalie was standing outside on the porch and she looked down at her watch. She heard Esme giggle behind her and spun around to look at her mother.

"You know it used to be me in that position after you were first changed. Waiting on the porch for you to come back after being away for days, now you are the one looking concerned," said Esme and Rosalie shrugged.

"I'm not concerned I just….." Esme gave her a look. "Fine, so maybe I am a bit concerned about Seth. He was supposed to be here ten minutes ago." Esme giggled and placed an arm around her daughter.

"Rose, you have to remember Seth isn't a vampire. He can't just speed up and cut through the forest whenever he wants to get home faster. Plus he took the car so he can only go so fast. I am sure he is fine."

"But that's just it, he isn't a vampire. He isn't indestructible for the most part like we are and I worry about him sometimes."

"I didn't say it's a bad thing to be concerned. I am always concerned about the well being of all of you just like Bella is always concerned about Renesmee. It is just nice having another mother around here," she said with a sly smile and Rosalie looked at her shocked.

"I am not his mother. He has one," she said looking down and Esme placed a hand on her shoulder.

"True, he does, but I know you feel responsible for him and whether your stubbornness will let you admit it or not, Seth is treated like he is your son." Before Rosalie could respond, they heard the Mercedes coming down the road. Rosalie spun around to look back toward the noise and Esme giggled.

"I told you he would be fine," she teased and Rosalie crossed her arms.

"Fine but next time you send him away can you at least warn me before you do? I didn't appreciate the surprise of coming downstairs and having Seth gone." Esme hid her smile.

"I figured you knew he would be leaving since it was his idea."

"Being away for a day is different from being away for days," Rosalie informed and Esme couldn't help but smile.

"I know, mothers always know that," she said as she walked inside. Rosalie scoffed at her mother but then smiled when she saw Seth driving toward the house. Emmett was quickly by her side.

"I was wondering when he would get back," he said excitedly. Seth smiled at them as he walked up to the house.

"Did you miss me," he teased and Rosalie gave him a hug.

"Maybe," she smiled and looked him over. Seth laughed.

"Come on Rose, it was just a couple of days. My mom and Charlie said hello by the way." Emmett chuckled.

"Glad you had fun now let's go mess with Nahuel," said Emmett but Rosalie stopped them.

"Not so fast Em. Seth, Esme made you some dinner. You should eat before you stay out all night." Seth nodded and ran inside after Rosalie grabbed his bag from him. She took it to the laundry room and put it on the washer as Emmett smiled at her. She was lost in thought as she looked at the bag and jumped when she turned around to see Emmett looking at her adoringly.

"What," she asked and he shrugged with a smile.

"I was just thinking that you are really sweet to Seth, its nice having him around isn't it?" She gave him a kiss and smiled.

"Yes it is…..except for when you two are up to no good and when Nahuel gets involved." Emmett let out a booming laugh.

"Speaking of Nahuel, I better see if he wants to go with us tonight." She gave him a look.

"What do you have planned for tonight Em?" He smiled brightly.

"Okay, it involves three deer….."

"Forget I asked," she giggled and he kissed her before running out the house.

An hour later, Emmett had all of the men playing games with him while the women talked on the porch. Nahuel jogged over to Renesmee and handed her a letter.

"This is from my aunt. I just received it but I guess she assumed it would be alright. She wants to visit….."

"Nahuel, you have five seconds to get over here before you forfeit," yelled Emmett and Nahuel kissed his wife.

"I better get over there." He looked at Rosalie. "Your husband is such a cheater." She laughed as he disappeared into the forest and Renesmee giggled.

"I don't understand how they can play nonstop like that. Nahuel, Uncle Emmett and Seth are bad enough but adding dad, Uncle Jasper and grandpa to it makes for a lot of unnecessary arguments," said Renesmee and her grandmother nodded.

"Well that was happening even before you were born dear. I don't remember us getting through one baseball game without a dispute," said Esme and Alice nodded.

"Very true but don't worry they will behave for the most part. I am just excited about Kaya!" They all looked at her confused and Alice giggled.

"Read the letter Renesmee," she said examining her finger nails. Renesmee gave her a look. She knew her aunt was hiding something and quickly read over the letter.

"Nahuel's aunt is coming to visit and so is one of his sisters, Kaya. They will arrive tomorrow night. He told me about Kaya. She is the youngest and the two of them are pretty close. Kaya isn't like her other sisters. She wants to get out and explore the world just like Nahuel did. I am surprised his aunt is coming though. Huilen isn't one to leave home very often." Bella smiled.

"It will be nice to see them again. The last time was at the wedding and I am sure Nahuel misses his family," said Bella and she pulled Renesmee into her arms. "I am very lucky to get to see you everyday even though you are a married woman now." Renesmee smiled at her mother before looking at Rosalie.

"What do you think Aunt Rose?" Rosalie shrugged.

"I didn't get to talk much with Kaya at the wedding. I was too busy worrying about Seth and Emmett running around during the reception. Now that I think about it, Emmett and Seth didn't even get to meet them." Bella nodded.

"His family left rather quickly. I could tell Huilen doesn't like to be away from home very much. At least this time they will get to meet the whole family. I am going to go find Edward," she said getting up and Alice giggled.

"You two are so cute! After all this time, you still act like newlyweds," she teased and Renesmee whined.

"Aunt Alice, please spare me," she pouted and Bella stuck her tongue out at Alice before running toward the forest. Rosalie scoffed.

"You know the two of them really do need to learn how to control themselves," she said and Alice busted out laughing as Esme and Renesmee gave Rosalie a look. Rosalie tried to hide her smile.

"What," she asked innocently and Esme just smiled as Renesmee shook her head not saying a word.

Seth put back on his shirt as he sat down on a fallen tree. Nahuel jumped down from a branch and smiled at him.

"Finally getting tired," asked Nahuel and Seth nodded.

"Yea, definitely, so your aunt and sister are coming huh?" Nahuel nodded.

"My aunt really didn't want to but she didn't want my little sister travelling alone. I don't know if you met my sister." Seth shook his head.

"Emmett and I were kind of excited to see each other again at the wedding so it didn't take long after the wedding for us to leave. What's her name?"

"Kaya, she is the youngest of my three sisters and I think she is ready to leave home for a while. The Cullens have intrigued her ever since she found out about them." Seth looked at him concerned.

"I don't mean to seem rude or anything but are they…..well what kind of diet do they have?" Nahuel chuckled.

"Kaya actually chose the vegetarian way of life the moment she found out about it. When I told her she didn't have to kill people to quench her thirst, she immediately wanted to try it. My aunt is stuck in her ways and has red eyes but I hope you won't hold that against her. She assured me she wouldn't hunt while she was here."

"How long are they staying?" Nahuel shrugged.

"I know that my aunt only wants to stay a couple of days but Kaya might stay longer if she likes it here. She is really open to new ideas and she has been cooped up at home so she wants to see new places now." Seth slowly nodded.

"Do they know about me and being a werewolf?" Nahuel placed a hand on Seth's shoulder.

"Seth, you are a part of this family so of course they do. I would never invite someone here that would make any of you uncomfortable. Don't worry so much alright?" Seth smiled and nodded.

"Just making sure," he chuckled and got up. "I'm going home. I need a shower and some sleep. Rose and Esme get mad if I don't get enough sleep." Nahuel winked at him.

"The last thing we want to do is upset Rosalie and Esme," he said with a nod and Seth nodded as well.

"Definitely," he laughed and headed back home. Nahuel watched him walk into the clearing and Emmett ran over to Nahuel.

"Where is Seth going? I have Carlisle and Jasper trapped but not for long. You know Jasper will figure a way around." Nahuel smiled at him.

"Seth needs his sleep. You know Rosalie and Esme wouldn't have it any other way." Emmett nodded.

"Oh yea, I keep forgetting he needs all that stuff. He needs sleep and food on a daily basis….it must be so tiring!" Nahuel laughed at Emmett's exasperated face but then Emmett frowned. "So um, about these relatives coming to visit, are they cool with Seth being here because if not then Rose and I will take him….."

"They know about Seth and will respect him I promise. Don't worry I would never put Seth in a situation that would make him feel uncomfortable just like I told him." Emmett nodded and patted Nahuel's shoulder.

"Good, I guess a part of me feels responsible for him and I am protective of him, not as protective as Rosalie though. Man, she is not someone I would mess with when it comes to Seth." Nahuel smirked.

"Emmett, I wouldn't mess with your wife when it comes to anything. She definitely knows how to keep people in their place but come to think about it all of them do. Alice might be small but I wouldn't take my chances and Esme is such a kind soul but I know that if you mess with her family she can be your worst nightmare. Renesmee has a little bit of all of them. She is sweet and kind but can be stubborn and determined which I think she learned from Esme, Rosalie and Alice. The only one I think is too sweet to do anything is my mother in law. Bella is too nice." Emmett busted out laughing at that.

"You think Bella…..you think she's…..too sweet to do any….." He started cracking up and Nahuel looked at him confused. Emmett regained composure. "Nahuel, seriously, do you know Bella's history? When she was human, she was fearless. She fell in love with a vampire that should tell you something right there. Edward was ready to kill her when they first met and he even told her that but she didn't care." Emmett rambled on and Nahuel saw Edward and Bella stealthily sneaking behind Emmett listening to the conversation. Bella shook her head and Nahuel knew to remain quiet as Emmett continued. "Then when she got her shield up against Jane she was taunting her…..Jane of all people. Bella is anything but innocent so don't push your luck." Emmett realized someone was behind him and turned to see Edward looking amused and Bella with her arms crossed. She arched an eyebrow.

"So big brother, I am anything but innocent huh? I guess you are right. After all I did kick your butt at arm wrestling." Emmett gasped and grabbed his chest as if she hurt his heart.

"That was a low blow! That's it I want a rematch," he declared and Bella walked right past him. Edward gave Emmett a look.

"You know she will never give you one right," he asked and Emmett stomped his foot.

"That's not fair," he whined and Bella giggled as they left.

"Life's not fair big bro," she teased. Emmett mumbled under his breath as Nahuel laughed. He gave Nahuel a look.

"You want to arm wrestle? I know I can take you half breed," he teased and Nahuel jumped on him as they wrestled around on the ground.

"False start, false start, this isn't arm wrestling," said Emmett and Nahuel laughed. They continued to wrestle until they heard someone clear their throat. They both looked up to see Rosalie and Renesmee looking amused. They hopped up and Rosalie shook her head.

"You two just can't help yourselves can you," she asked and Renesmee giggled.

"They really can't Aunt Rose and all this time I thought I married an older man. Really Nahuel, you should act your age," Renesmee teased and Nahuel scoffed as Emmett laughed.

"Yea Nahuel, you are so immature," said Emmett nodding his head. Rosalie smiled at her husband, but then looked at Nahuel.

"Before I forget Nahuel, about your aunt and sister, they do know about Seth….." Nahuel sighed.

"Yes Rosalie they do and they are fine with Seth. I wouldn't invite them unless they were. I am starting to sound like a broken record. I promise you that Seth will be fine." Rosalie gave a nod.

"Just making sure," she said and Nahuel nodded but then looked around.

"Emmett, where are Carlisle and Jasper? Shouldn't they be back here by now?" Emmett's eyes widened.

"I didn't tell them we were done with the game did I?" Nahuel laughed and shook his head. Suddenly Alice came skipping through the trees and smiled at Emmett.

"No worries dear brother, they gave up a while ago. We are all going hunting since Nahuel's family will be here tomorrow. Are you all coming," she asked as Esme walked up as well. Carlisle and Jasper appeared from the other side and Emmett shook his head.

"I already hunted. Rose do you need to…."

"I already did as well and I want to make sure Seth is actually in bed. Em you have been wearing him out lately and you know he won't sleep unless you tell him to. I swear that boy lives like a vampire." Esme giggled.

"Well Rose, he did pick up the habits from us," she teased and Rosalie rolled her eyes. Emmett pulled Rosalie toward the house and the others went to hunt.

When they got into the house, Rosalie immediately went to Seth's room. She quietly walked in and saw him sleeping peacefully in bed. She smiled and Emmett walked in as well. He smiled at his wife who was looking adoringly at Seth. He knew that Seth was an important part of their family and over the past years they all became attached to him, especially Rosalie. Emmett grabbed her hand causing her to look up.

"Come on, let's leave him alone. He'll need his rest," he said and she nodded before walking out.
