The next morning, Sasha awoke to her cell phone beeping its 7 a.m. alarm. Sasha groaned, not used to the big time difference yet. She didn't fall asleep until her bedtime back in South Carolina, which was midnight. That made it around 4 a.m. here. With only 3 hours of sleep, Sasha was ready to cry. When her phone beeped again, Sasha sat up and grabbed her phone, turning the alarm off.
"A shower to wake me up." Sasha mumbled, grabbing her toiletries bag and going to the bathroom, turning the shower on. A nice hot shower would do her good.
Sasha stepped out of the bathroom half an hour later, having showered and dried her hair. She wrapped the towel around her, padding quietly to her room in case Bella was still asleep. She stopped when she heard Edward's voice coming quietly through the closed door. Were Alice and Edward and their family already here? Was it later than Sasha thought? That freaked Sasha out and she ran to her room, dressing quickly in the warmest clothes she had. That turned out to be only a pair of jeans, her tennis shoes, and a thin three-quarter length shirt. 'Maybe Charlie or Isabella will have a winter coat I can use until I buy one.' Sasha thought, tying her shoes. She brushed her hair and put some lip balm on, going downstairs.
"Good morning Sasha." Charlie said, sitting at the table reading the newspaper.
"Good morning, Charlie." Sasha said, smiling and looking around.
"You can…you can call me dad if you want to." Charlie said, looking at Sasha kind of awkwardly.
"Okay, dad. Are Edward and Alice and their family here already?" Sasha asked, sitting down at the table.
"No, not yet." Charlie replied, taking a bite of cereal.
"Oh…okay then. Well, I'll see you later then." Sasha said, standing back up and going upstairs, knocking on Bella's door.
"Isabella? Are you awake?" Sasha said in a quiet voice. "It's 7:45 and Alice and Edward and their family are going to be here soon."
"Yeah, I'm awake. And it's Bella, not Isabella." Bella replied.
"Okay, Bella. Do you have an extra winter coat I can borrow for today?" Sasha asked, listening at the door.
"No, go ask Charlie. He might." Bella replied.
Sasha sighed and walked back to her bedroom, grabbing her purse then walking back downstairs.
"Dad? Do you have a coat I can borrow for today?" Sasha asked, setting her purse in the living room.
"Yeah, let me get it for you. It's a bit old but it's still good" Charlie said, the sound of chair scraping against the floor and footsteps sounding.
Charlie brought an older thick black jacket into the living room where Sasha was, handing it to her.
"Here you go." Charlie said, smiling softly.
"Thank you Dad. It's fantastic." Sasha said, taking the jacket and putting it on. It was nice and warm, even if it did smell like men's cologne.
"You're welcome. Are you excited about spending time with Bella?" Charlie asked, sitting down and turning the television on.
"Oh more than anything! I am so glad I have a sister, I've always wanted one." Sasha said, smiling happily.
"Well I'm glad. I bet you two will become fast friends." Charlie replied.
"I hope so." Sasha said, watching Charlie flip through the channels.
"I uh…I'm sorry your mother passed on. I didn't even know I had another child until Janice called me right after the accident. I feel really guilty that I never saw you before or talked on the phone or sent birthday cards." Charlie said, looking at the floor.
"It's okay dad, really. I didn't know about you until a few days ago, so we'll call it even." Sasha said, smiling sadly.
Charlie stopped on a basketball game, watching. Sasha watched for a few minutes before she heard a car pulling up in the driveway. Alice bounded through the door not even a minute later, already excited.
"Hey Charlie! Hey Sasha!" Alice said, all bubbly. "Where's ol' sleepyhead at?"
"She's still upstairs." Charlie replied as Edward walked in.
"Hi Alice. Hi Edward. You look very nice today, Alice, I love those jeans." Sasha said, smiling.
"Thank you! I got them the other day." Alice said. "I'll go upstairs and bring her down." Alice added before practically flying up the stairs.
"You look very nice today too, Edward. That is a good color on you." Sasha said.
"Thank you, Sasha." Edward said, taking a seat on the opposite end of the couch.
Alice brought Bella down a few minutes later. Edward stood and walked over to Bella, taking her hand. Alice grabbed Sasha's hand and called her goodbye to Charlie before pulling Sasha outside and to Carlisle's big S.U.V.
"Bye dad! Have fun today!" Sasha called out.
"Bye girls." Charlie said, waving.
Alice got in the backseat, pulling Sasha with her. Edward and Bella got into the driver's seat and passenger seat, respectively.
"Okay, introductions! Sasha, this is Jasper," Alice said, pointing beside her to a guy with curly blonde hair. "And that back there is Emmett," she said, pointing to the muscular guy in the seat behind them. "And last but not least that's Rosalie." Alice said, pointing to a beautiful blonde.
"Wow, you're really beautiful." Sasha said, in awe of how beautiful Rosalie was.
"Thank you. I like her." Rosalie said, smiling. Emmett and Jasper chuckled.
"Don't let Emmett try to bully you, he's really competitive." Alice stage whispered, laughing.
"Aw come on now little sis, you wouldn't be stretching the truth would you?" Emmett said, laughing along with her.
"Hmm, well since you're not competitive…" Sasha said, smiling.
"Oh bring it; I can feel you wanting to say something." Emmett said, smiling wider.
"I bet you can't make an ocarina whistle with your hands and it actually work." Sasha said, turning to face Emmett and Rosalie, grinning.
"I so can!" Emmett said, attempting.
Twenty minutes later, Emmett growled and threw his hands in the air. He'd tried every hand combination he could, blowing and getting nothing but the sound of air. He looked at Sasha who just smiled.
"It's simple, my mama taught me years ago." Sasha said, cupping her hands and blowing into the small hole made by her thumbs, a pretty whistling sound coming out.
"HOW do you do that?!" Emmett said, watching Sasha. It looked so easy!
"You cup your hands just like this," Sasha said, trying to show him how to position his hands. "And make a small opening with your thumbs and just blow into it." she added, blowing and making the pretty whistling sound again.
Emmett tried doing exactly what she said and blowing only to come up without a whistling sound.
"Shit! I can't do it!" Emmett cursed, sighing. Sasha giggled.
"Here, give me your hands." Sasha said, turning around and holding her hands out.
Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper all turned to watch, prepared to act in case Emmett accidentally attacked.
"Here, now fold your hands like this," Sasha said, moving his hands around, positing his fingers and thumbs. "And blow through here." Sasha said, putting his hands up to his mouth.
Emmett blew and only a tiny whistling sound came out. Rosalie, Jasper, and Alice all cracked up laughing.
"I did it a little bit!" Emmett said, laughing. Sasha smirked and arranged her hands, blowing and making the pretty whistling sound again.
"I'm going to learn to do it better than you!" Emmett said.
"Mmhmmm, you just keep telling yourself that, boy." Sasha said, smiling and turning back around.
"Oh you did not just call me boy, little girlie girl." Emmett said, tugging gently on Sasha's hair.
"I believe I just did, boy. You got a hearin' problem?" Sasha asked, smiling and laughing.
"Em, I think you've met your match." Rosalie said, laughing at their bantering.
"Em? Can I call you Emmy?" Sasha asked, biting her lip to keep from laughing.
"Roooosie!" Emmett whined, laughing.
"Aww, come on now Em, don't be upset." Sasha said, chuckling. Alice and Jasper were beside her cracking up.
"Yeah, Em. It's okay!" Alice said between laughs, leaning into Jasper.
"Kids, do I have to pull over and go back home?" Edward said suddenly, looking in the rear view mirror.
Jasper, Alice, Sasha, Emmett, and Rosalie all erupted into laughter. Bella just pouted in the front seat.
