I do not own anything but the plot.

Seth and the others came back, laughing amongst themselves. That's good – Seth looked more relaxed than earlier. He saw me looking at him, again, but I couldn't look away – even though I know I had that stupid blush on my face again. I just get captured by his presence – was it positivity, or the warmth radiating from him? Whatever it was, I get sucked in it – losing myself in that moment.

"Enough of the stare session. I think we're ready to talk," Jake said interrupting the silence.

"Hmph!" Alice.

I just smiled at her reaction, "Hello again. My name is Mary Elise Spencer. I'm Alice's great granddaughter – biologically."

Jacob looked back and forth between Alice and Ellie, "you don't look alike."

"My mother does! She said I kind of look like Alice, too. I have a picture," she shuffled inside her bag. I smiled as I saw her face light up when she found what she was looking for, "here!" she brightly declared, "it's her old photo."

Jacob took the old photograph in his hands and scrunched his eyebrows together, but before he could talk, I looked straight at him. He seemed to have been distracted by my stare, so he raised his brow at me.

"I can see it," I said looking back at Ellie, "when you look at her long enough, you'll see they kind of look alike."

She blushed as I finished. As soon as I felt their eyes on me, I quickly waved my hands, "N-Not that I was staring at you – I just… noticed."

I heard a scoff, a snicker, a click of a tongue, because I was trying to avoid looking at anyone. Could I possibly get any hotter?

"Real smooth, Seth," I heard Jake comment from behind me.

"Yeah," followed by Embry's laughing, "'cause smooth's Seth's middle name."

I'm glad I have my friends to support me. Thanks a lot.

Laughing lightly at their antics, I continued, "I kind of have the same skill as Alice, too – seeing the future. I'm not really good at it, though. It's still a bit weak, and unreliable."

"You being here doesn't make it unreliable to me," Alice defended.

I smiled – I really love her.

"What does that mean?" Seth.

"Alice lost her memory as she started this life – her current life," Carlisle explained.

"So I became curious of my past. I've been trying to track my family members. We found them; but I can't just walk up to them and say, 'Hey, I'm your grandma Alice. I'm a vampire so I look young and don't worry I won't eat you.'"

"It was Ellie who saw Alice in a vision. She was still very young then," Edward added.

"When I was sure – and ready – I packed my bags and left home to go look for Alice," I finished. I noticed Seth smiling at me – his eyes a little unfocused, looking like he was thinking of something else. I continued, before we start another 'stare session', "I also saw you," I couldn't help but let out a little giggle at his boyish grin as I addressed him.

"In short, she already knows about the imprinting, the wolves, and well, about you," Alice finished, probably getting impatient from all the 'stare breaks' in my story.

"Wow! Well, that made things easier," I heard Jacob mutter.

Normal POV

Well, there goes my excuse of talking to her. Seth thought sadly.

I need a favor, Edward, Ellie thought trying not to look at Edward.

As soon as she finished explaining, Edward nodded. Ellie smiled at him, before facing Alice.

"Um, Alice, I actually wanted to go around town today. Is that okay?"

"Oh, honey – "

"I'll take her!" Seth volunteered – raising his hand up to prove his willingness.

"How about, no? Seth, Ellie just got here. She still needs to rest, let's all go tomorrow."

"Let them, Alice." Alice was about to protest, but Edward gave him a look. Alice figured he had something to tell her, so, reluctantly, she agreed.

"I promise I'll keep her safe," Seth said. Jake and Embry laughed at his over-eagerness. He couldn't contain the joy in his heart for the opportunity of talking with her.

Alice was left staring at Seth's and Ellie's direction.

She frowned before turning to Edward, "Now, talk."

Edward sighed before setting Nessie on the floor, who ran to Jacob in glee. "She just needs to clear things up with Seth."

"But we haven't had the time to catch up, yet."

"She's trying to resolve the issues with her coming into the picture," Edward smiled at Alice, reassuring her, "and if I may say, she takes on you a lot – especially on trying to solve everything at the same time."

"What issues?" Bella couldn't resist not cutting in.

"Alice has to decide if she would take her in or not." Edward

"Of course she'll take her in, she's Alice's family – and I don't mean like us – but her biological family." Bella

"But there are risks being with us, for humans, you should know that of all people." Edward

"Carlisle, I…"Alice

"Alice, we will gladly accept your decision." Carlisle

"As in the past, I will trust and follow your decision – even if you can't see what future we will face." Jasper

"Wait, we're all here letting Alice decide for the kid, we don't even know if she's willing to stay. Where's her family?" Rose

"She does want to be with Alice. She predicted it would be harder for Alice to decide if she were here."

"But Rose is right; doesn't she have family who'll worry about her?" Esme

"Edward?" Alice asked when Edward couldn't answer.

"I don't know the whole story, yet. But I don't think she'll be returning from where she came from for now." Edward

"Your family just loves complicated situations." Jacob

"I want to," Alice said, more to herself.

"Alice, dear, I can have her papers arranged. We can say we adopted another daughter, we can say she's your relative. You just have to say it," Carlisle comforted.

"I think the struggle will be the fact that she's an imprint. We already have Jake trying hard not to let us go, but Seth and Ellie?" Bella.

"We can stay here for at least one more year. After that, the four of them would have to decide on what to do," Carlisle.

"Wait, our daughter is still young. We have to decide for her, right?" Bella.

"Bella, love, that's for another discussion, for now, let Alice have her decision." Edward.

"Alright, isn't anyone actually thinking here? What about the risks? We had Bella almost killed a few dozen times when she was human – and she wasn't even living with us, then. Living with us is dangerous." Rose.

"We can protect her," Jake cut in, seemingly challenging Rose.

"So can we," she defended.

"Then there's no argument in that," Jake said, shrugging his shoulders. Rose huffed in defeat.

"Alice?" Esme, who was keeping quiet, stood by Alice's side and rubbed her shoulders.

"She's made a decision," Edward reported.

"Yes, Edward. We'll take her in, but the final decision will be hers. We would tell her everything, the risks, the problem with the imprinting and us moving away. We will let her decide, then. But she'll know that I am willing to take her and protect her," Alice answered with a content smile.
