"What's wrong?" I asked and sat down next to a very vexed looking Jasper. It had been about a week since I turned into a vampire and jasper looked like this whenever I was around, and it was really bothering me.
He took a deep breath and looked at me. "You and Bella- you just…"
"What?" I asked in a comforting voice.
"You aren't acting like most newborns. You aren't blood crazed or touchy or anything. You act like a civilized human," He said looking away.
"But isn't that good?" I asked.
"Yeah, it's just confusing me," he whispered.
"Oh. Sorry." I said and slinked back upstairs and to my room where Alice was waiting for me, smiling, a huge mirror in her hands. The mirror was silver and had silver Peruvian Lilies winding and curling up the side and around letters. Those letters spelled out: Macey Claire Tatiana Stendahl-Cullen. My colossally long name had been made longer. And to think it was one of my dad's ancient, archaic ancestors who made up a stupid family tradition.
FLASHBACK
"Daddy," I wasn't allowed to call him Björn to his face, "Why do I have two middle names and nobody else in my class does?" After this question he started ranting about 'The Swedish heritage is one you should be proud to have in your bloodstream.'
And in conclusion, everyone in the Stendahl family has had two middle names since the 1600's and my dad is very proud of his heritage.
END FLASHBACK
Alice snapped her fingers in front of my face to get me back to reality. "Carlisle wanted me to give this to you just so you don't forget who you are," she said.
"I might forget who I am?" I asked worried.
"No, but you might lose yourself and Carlisle wants you to remember who you are," She smiled.
"How am I supposed to do that with a mirror?" I asked taking the mirror from Alice and setting it on the floor next to the door.
"You'll find out sooner or later," She said and danced out. I sat down in front of the mirror looking hard at my reflection. After an hour of that, I got up and sat down on my bed.
"How am I going to find myself in a mirror?" I huffed, crossly.
"Macey Macey Macey Macey!" Emmett yelled running up two flights of stairs to my room.
"Emmett Emmett Emmett Emmett!" I yelled back. "What?"
"I want a wrestling match," He said, smiling cheekily. "Pin for six seconds,"
"You already lost to Bella," I said smiling, "Twying to beat the baby of the howse?" I mocked in a baby voice. I know I wasn't strong but come on, trying to pull his reputation up by wrestling me?
"No," he coughed trying to hide the fact that he was.
"Fine," I said sweetly, and tackled him.
"Whoa I didn't say go," He said struggling to get out from the nylon nail death grip I was inflicting on his stone shoulders. "Why did Rose give those to you," he muttered.
"Who made you referee?" I snapped eager to get this over with.
"No one. But an audience and a bet would make this more interesting."
"What kind of a wager are you talking about?"
"Laundry. For a year." That was his bet? I've had worse.
"Deal," I said smiling and shook his hand. He picked me up by the ankles so that I was hanging upside down and walked out of my room.
"This is not fun Emmett! Put me down now!" I screeched at him. We were in the living room and everyone was there, including little Renesmee, who was locked in Bella's arms for extra protection. I met her after she got back from her grandfathers house the same night I became a vampire. "Just because-" I started.
"God is the annoyance level doubled when you're short?" he snapped and set me down so I was doing a handstand. I did a back flip and held my arms and head up high and smiled like they told me and the other little 3 year olds in my toddler gymnastics class.
"Hey!" Renesmee snapped at Emmett, hurt by his comment.
"Sorry Nessie. Well Esme, blow the whistle, and let the match begin!" He yelled getting in a ready stance. I crouched down and growled. Esme whistled with two fingers and I launched at Emmett.
I instantly had him pinned. He struggled and tried pulling me off him, but stopped when he heard a tear and realized that my nails had ripped through his shirt.
"One…Two…Three…Four…Five…Six!" everyone counted while Emmett was still struggling against these deathly nails. I stood up smiling smugly and brushed my hands on my jeans. He was still on the ground, a look of shock smeared over his face.
"I let you win," he said. I mouthed along with him rolling my eyes too.
"Uh-huh," I said and sat on the couch next to Alice, who was smiling too. She gave me a high five.
Emmett got back up and walked over to me and extended his hand, wanting me to shake it. I took it with a feather light touch which surprised him, I smiled and walked back upstairs to my room and sat down in front of the mirror, and tried to wipe the smile off my face, as if nothing had ever happened.
I started tracing my fingers over the flowers and letters. On the letter 'C' in Cullen, the tip at the bottom was a little loose. I pushed it in a little bit confused as to why they would make the letter in two parts. When I pushed it in, The mirror fell forward onto my lap. I little handle popped out. I pulled it and a drawer came out with it. In the box was 9 tiny slips of paper. I dumped the drawer out on my floor. I picked up one and unfolded it quickly. It read:
You are beautiful.
-Carlisle
I picked up another piece and unfolded it.
You are strong.
-Emmett
Funny that would come from him. The others read:
You are breezy.
-Alice
You are accepting.
-Rosalie
You are debonair.
-Edward
You are a great actress.
-Renesmee
You are talented.
-Bella
You are unique.
-Jasper
You are youthful.
-Esme
If I could have cried, I would have been a water fountain. A strange uncomfortable tingle was in my eyes. I got up and ran downstairs to hug Carlisle. Carlisle was in the kitchen fuming over paperwork. I hugged him tight, knocking a binder and all the papers on the counter off in the process.
"Thank you," I said my head buried in his shoulder like I would do with Björn.
"You're Welcome," He said hugging me back. One week and I was already feeling comfortable with Carlisle like he was my father.
A/n:AHH! its finally done! mmmkk reason for the slight delay. here it is. I went camping with my friend for three days and incidentally didn't learn how to play volleyball. . Then I spent three days fuming over my auditions for a camp I was going to.

Then I went over to my friends house again and after that I here we are at this exact moment of time! Next chapter to come faster than this one did. promise. really.
