No one in the kitchen showed any indication of having heard Naomi's confession when Edward and Naomi walked in.

"Why don't you go and get Seth and Leah. They may want some lunch, too." Esme was saying to Jake.

"Sure." Jake ripped off his shirt and torn off his shorts.

Naomi's eyes widened in bewilderment and Bella said, "Unless you want to see more of him then you'd like to, I'd turn around." Naomi spun quickly.

"What's he doing?" she asked.

"When he phases, his clothes rip. Not that it's that big of a deal to get new ones, but he would go through a lot of clothes." explain Nessie. Naomi nodded. It made sense.

"I hope our new arrival doesn't piss of Leah." Emmett said, jerking his head at Naomi. She frowned. "It took her almost 25 years to eat with us. And ten more to sleep in the house." Emmet elaborated.

"What was she doing until then?" Naomi asked.

"Living a very uncomfortable life style." Edward said with a smirk. Carlisle smiled ruefully. Whatever was in the pan sizzled and a delicious smell wafted towards Naomi. Chicken. Bella grabbed plates out of a cupboard.

"Naomi, could you get some cutlery? In that drawer on your left." Naomi took four sets of cutlery. Bella laid out placemats on the island counter. Emse doled out lunch and Renesmee heaped salad onto the plates.

Naomi took hers. "Thanks." She sat at one of the high chairs.

"Here come the dogs. Brace yourself." Emmett said.

"Brace yourself?" Naomi repeated.

"They reek." he replied.

"They'll smell fine to you." Nessie assured her. "They just smell to vampires." The back door was thrown open, and a girl came in, black hair dripping with water. Leah. It had begun to rain. Naomi inhaled deeply, but all she smelled was a strong woodland scent. It made her think of musk and fog. It was nice. Behind Leah walked Jacob and Seth. Jacob came in first. Seth looked up and met Naomi's was more than words. More than her body could hold. Her vision blurred and she could no longer hear the conversation that buzzed around her. She didn't care that her world had flipped upside down because she was standing here looking at him.

"Oh no." said Edward.
