I'm back! :) This chapter was very delayed in getting typed up so I made time to do it.
I'm uploading pictures onto my profile of who I envisioned as Theo and a picture of a girl who represents the twins. Check em out! Enjoy!

Nobody moved to answer the door. I glanced at every face in the room. All of them were filled with unsureness and hesitancy. I completely understood their feelings, I had felt them many times in meeting other vampires, but this was both of my families meeting for the first time and the only feeling I felt was nervousness. Carlisle started for the door with Esme staying where she was when I found my voice.
"I'll get it, Carlisle." I walked over the door and grasped the knob in my hand. Before turning it, I turned to look at Jasper. "Will you relax everyone a little please? I want this to go smoothly." I smiled a little at him as he nodded and the effect was immediate. I saw everyones faces relax and lose their tenseness.
Grasping the door handle, I pulled it open and was immediately embraced by Theo. I heard a quiet rumble emmiting from Edward's chest as Theo held me close and whispered "Thank God your okay. I was going out of my mind." I rolled my eyes and pulled away from him. Hendrix stuck close to Theo and Henley smiled at everyone in the room.
"Umm. Okay, Theo, Hendrix, Henley, these are the Cullens. Carlisle, his mate Esme, Alice and her mate Jasper, Emmett, his mate Rosalie, and this is Edward." I said his name last after gesturing to each person and going to stand next to him. I carefully watched Theo. I was anxious about his reaction to meeting Edward and his family. I didn't expect this to happen so soon. His expression showed he was deep in thought. Then suddenly, out of no where, his lips pulled back over his teeth and he snarled at Edward, lunging for him. I immediatley put my shield up around Theo and walked into it with him, encasing us together in a bubble. We couldn't get out, and nobody could get in. I made it thick, thick enough to where no one else could hear us and we couldn't hear them.
"Theo! What the Hell is your deal?" I screamed with my arms flailing over my head in exasperation. We've already argued about this, and came to an agreement. "The guy destroyed you Bell! You were broken in pieces when we met and you healed and now if that happens again, its going to be with you your entire existence! I can't let that happen to you! Your my sister, my best friend. I love you and I don't want to see you broken forever." His anger broke and he fell to the floor and hugged his knees. He laid his head down on them, avoiding my look, my disapproval for his outburst of anger.
"Theo," I sighed, sitting down and wrapping my arms around him. I buried my face in his hair, inhaling his scent. He smelled familiar, like home. I could not let Edward rule my attention and forget about Theo. "I know things will seem different once we begin this path. But, I promise, nothing with come between us. Hendrix understands our bond, and Edward will come to get used to it too. He has to or he won't have me. But, you have to give him a chance, Theo. He won't screw it up, if I still know him as well as I used to; he'll get it right." I was suddenly wrapped in his arms as he now hugged me. "Okay, Bell." he whispered. "I'm still gonna play the role of big brother, though." He said smirking at me because he knew I couldn't stop him from doing that.
"Alright, you big goof, lets join the others again." I laughed and stood up, pulling him with me. I could see the blurred forms of all the vampires outside my shield. It was so blurred because of how thick I made it. Normally its crystal clear, with a white glowing emitting from it. Almost like an LED light. It was shaped in a perfect bubble surrounding us, cutting us off from the others. "Wow." Theo breathed. "I never realized how silent it was in here. Its a peaceful change from hearing everything."
I smiled. "I know, I use it when I want to be by myself. The silence calms me." He laughed. "Maybe I can try it sometime?" he looked at me. I nodded at him. I took the shield down and watched as it snapped back into me like a rubber band. In the beginning of my vampiric life, it was hard to manipulate it. Getting it to do what I wanted was tiring in my mind. I felt like I should've been exhausted in my mind after every time I practiced, but I wasn't. I would never physically be tired.
Sounds of the forest around us assaulted our ears, along with the chattering happening amongst everyone else. Hendrix ran to Theo and he wrapped his arms around her. "Its okay, I'm okay now." he whispered into her hair. I walked over to Edward and took his hand in mine for comfort. He squeezed my fingers gently in understanding. Theo broke away from Hendrix and came over to Edward and I with his hand outstretched to Edward.
It felt like the moment happened in slow motion for me. I analyzed both their faces as they reached for each other. Edward's was smooth and calm with welcome. Theo's was deep in thought and determination. No doubt he was overcoming his anger to do this out of his love for me. When they finally shook hands, I let a quiet sigh of relief fall from my lips. The metaphorical ice was broke. Tension melted away from the room as everyone began to chat with ease, introducing each other for a more personal beginning besides just me saying who was who. I drug Edward to the loveseat and leaned into him. Watching our two families begin to meld into one. It was a lovely sight to see. I took in the scene of happiness and closed my eyes and basked in the feeling.
Now if I could just get everything back to how it was with Edward and I.
Okay. I know this is short. I typed this out to get out of my funk with writer's block and I think I got myself out of it for now. I want reviews before I'll update again. At least five. I've had tons of people favorite this and all i ask is if your taking the time to do that, write me a couple words of encouragement :)
I want 5 reviews until I make my next update!
