Thank you to my reviewer!

After school that day

EJ's POV

I drove home in silence, not even bothering to turn on the radio for it reminded me too much of her. That's insane, right? I just met this girl; she should have such a hold on me as she does presently. Right? I shook my head trying to rid my thoughts of her. She didn't want to be friends or anything more; I should respect that.

I pulled up to the house and parked in the garage. Aunt Rosalie's car was already there. Why had she left school early? What was so important?

Ellie's POV

I had the pleasure of meeting Esme Cullen, Carlisle's wife, who welcomed me warmly to the family after she returned from the grocery store. I had never had human food before and to tell the truth I wasn't missing out on much. Blood is much better than anything I tasted except chocolate. That was amazing!

Rosalie let me wonder around for a while as we awaited the rest of the family to arrive. I started in the kitchen and made my way up to Carlisle's study, his and Esme's room along with many of the other bedrooms.

One of the bedrooms was full of fashion and Civil war artifacts. Another screamed sports and cars with a hint of femininity. The other had books stacked to the ceiling and music everywhere; it was a little overwhelming.

The room beside that one had wolves and Indian things everywhere. When I say everywhere, I mean everywhere. There were wolf pictures, wolf stuffed animals and tribal decoration placed everywhere. Is an obsession like this healthy?

I walked down the hall a ways until I noticed a door at the end I must have over-looked. I twisted the handle and stepped in. My eyes widened.

It was magnificent…. and huge. The walls were an off white with guitars hanging from it. Bay windows swung freely as the wind blew in. I hurried across the soft carpet to shut them. The air felt good; I'm not allowed outside much at home.

There was a shelf of books but not as numerous as the other room. I trailed my fingers across them. This room was really cool; I hope my room will be like this one. Outside I heard vehicles approach. The Cullens were home, my family. I hurried out of the room and shut the door behind me. I could hear them talking however I don't know what was being said.

I felt so nervous. Would they like me to be a part of their family? I took a deep breath. I came down the stairs and everyone looked at me. I lingered near the bottom of the steps. This was really embarrassing. 'God help me to be accepted,' I prayed in my head. Edward smiled at me. I grinned quickly at him.

"We have discussed everything with the family, Ellie," Carlisle informed me. And?

"And," Edward said as if he read my mind, "We would all like to welcome you to the family." I smiled overcome with joy. Really? They wanted me? I looked at each of their faces with a smile until I got to EJ who looked at me sadly. I frowned. The rest of the family noticed our unease.

"What's wrong?" Esme asked looking between the two of us. Did he hate me for what I had said? I was just trying to protect him from my father's rath since he saw him pick me up for school.

"He doesn't hate you," Edward said. How did he….

"I'm a mind reader," he explained. Oh…. Well life with a mind reading would be very interesting.

"You think I hate you?" EJ wondered back on topic. I looked uncomfortably at everyone as they awaited my answer.

"I-I wouldn't fault you if you do, EJ. What I said to you was- was inexcusable. I am so sorry. I w-was just trying to protect you. I'm sorry if I hurt you," I apologized.

"I could never hate you especially for what you said. You have no reason to apologize; it wasn't your fault," he said as he shook his head. I smiled at him warmly. He's perfect. I hear Edward chuckle. Oh, gosh. Stupid mind readers.

"Edward stop reading her mind," Bella said. He just smiled at her.

"Yeah, daddy it's really annoying," Vanessa contributed. Daddy?!

"Daddy? What are you talking about Vanessa?" I asked thoroughly confused.

"Well, my name isn't actually Vanessa," she admitted. "It's Renesmee." Renesmee, that's a mouth full but absolutely beautiful.

"Oh, well that's a beautiful name, Renesmee," I said with a smile.

"And Edward and Bella aren't mine and EJ's brother and sister. They're our parents," she explained. Their parents? I eyed the couple curiously. Were all vampire parents like mine? They didn't seem to hate their children. I would think they love them.

"And," she continued, "daddy isn't the only one with a power." What?

"And," she continued once again, "Jacob isn't a vampire. He's a werewolf." Werewolf? This is a lot to take in.

"Ness, don't overwhelm her sweetheart," Bella warned.

"We have a lot of things to discuss with you Ellie," Carlisle said with a smile. I looked at each of their faces. What kind of things? Is there more?

Sorry for the shortness…. But remember 1 review and I'll update!
