~Recap~

He turns and leaves then, and we wait till all the Volturi are truly gone before moving.

"We have them on the run. Now is the time to attack." Vladimir says walking to us.

"Not today." Carlisle says hugging Esme.

"You're all fools! The Volturi might be gone. But they will never forgive what happened here." Stefan says.

"Brothers calm down please. It's a good thing there was no fight today." I say touching both their cheeks.


Everyone ignores us and does not listen to my brothers as they are too busy rejoicing in the fact that they did not have to fight the Volturi. Vladimir and Stefan still look upset over it, but they would calm down eventually.

"Little star we are going home. I assume that you want to stay here with your new friends?" Stefan sighs looking down at me.

"Yes brother. But I will visit you two every year." I promise them.

They both look away from me a little sad, then turn back with small smiles on their faces.

"Avea grijă little star." Vladimir says hugging me lightly.

"Imi va fi dor tu fratele meu." I hug him back and kiss his cheek.

Stefan took Vladimir's spot next and swept me up into a tight hug.

"Nu-i lasa sa te intimida little star. Amintiţi-vă sunt mai puternică decât orice vampir acolo." Stefan whispers kissing my cheek.

"Va Amintiţi-vă că fratele meu. Voi doi aveţi grijă de voi înşivă." I say kissing his cheek.

My brothers leave for home and I watch them until I can't see them no more. A few tears escape my eyes, but I quickly wipe them away when someone places their hand on my shoulder. When I turn around Rosalie is standing there, but everyone else is gone including him.

Rosalie pulls me into her arms then and I cry into her shoulder. I pull away from her after a couple of minutes, and wipe my eyes the best that I can.

"Are you okay now Aurelia?" Rosalie asks tucking my hair behind my ear.

"Yeah, I'm just glad we're all here." I say smiling up at her.

"I am too little star. Now what do you say we go to my house, and celebrate?" Rosalie asks wrapping her arm around my shoulder.

"First, I must check on my house, and get something to eat. Then I'll be right over." I tell her.

Rosalie looks at me a little unsure, but she agrees in the end and walks me home. I walk into my living room to see everything exactly where I left it. I pick up a few stray clothes then go into the kitchen and fix myself a ham sandwich. After I get done eating I clean up my mess, then just walk around my house to pass a little time. I want to give Rosalie's family a chance to celebrate together, before joining in with them.

A knock sounded at my door while I was walking upstairs, so I had to turn around and go back down to get the door. When I opened the door, it was Esme standing there by herself.

"Esme, come in." I say shocked at first.

She walks into my house and I close the door behind her.

"Hello dear, Rosalie and Carlisle were wondering if you were going to come over or disappear on us again." Esme says gently.

"I'm sorry about last time Esme. I didn't mean to cause any one any distress." I say looking away ashamed.

"Oh no dear, everyone was okay. Well except for Jasper, but I'm sure you know why." Esme says placing her hand on my shoulder.

"I haven't felt whole since I first left." I admit grabbing my coat.

"Well your back where you belong my dear. Now come home dear."

Esme helps me into my leather jacket and we leave the house together. On the way to her house, we talk and get to know each other better.

"How old are you dear?" Esme asks.

"151 years." I tell her proudly.

"Have you been with your brothers all that time?"

"No, I have traveled without them. That was the only way I could have fun and join in on the battles during World War I and II. My brothers are a bit protective of me." I explain.

"Well that is understandable dear. Especially since they didn't want you to be discovered." Esme says gently wrapping her arm around mine.

"Yeah I know. But now it's safe for me to connect with people, and travel all over the globe." I sigh not really feeling like doing that though.

"Is that what you really want to do?" Esme asks with a knowing smile on her face.

"No," I sigh,

"I don't really know what I want to do. A piece of myself is missing, and I won't feel like I belong till I get it back." I explain to her.

Esme stops walking at that and turns to face me. She her cups my cheeks and looks me square in the eyes. She looks very serious, but there is also compassion and love in her eyes.

"I can tell you right now that you belong here. With us." Esme says meaning every word.

I get a little choked up at that and turned away trying not to cry. Esme pulls me into her arms and smooths down my hair just holding me. I feel a mother's love coming from her, and almost break down as I have never felt that before.

"Do you not want that Aurelia?" Esme asks holding me tight.

"No, no I do want that. I want that very much." I sniffle pulling away a little.

"I'm glad dear, and I know my son will be glad to." Esme says wiping my tears away.

I blush a little at that, and Esme looks surprised before she chuckles wrapping her arm around mine again. We continue walking to her house at a normal pace and are meet at the backyard by all the other Cullens and the three Hales.

"Oh, you didn't run away, thank you." Rosalie says rushing up to pull me into a tight hug.

"I promised I wouldn't." I whisper hugging her back.

Rosalie lets me go then and backs away as Carlisle steps up to me.

"I'm glad you're still here dear." Carlisle says hugging me gently.

"Me to." I agree hugging him back.

"Come meet the members of our family you haven't met yet." Esme says linking arms with me again.

She leads me over to Bella, Edward and Renesmee first.

"Edward, Renesmee this is Aurelia. The Romanians little sister." Esme introduces me.

"Hello Edward." I say shaking his hand.

"Hello Aurelia. You know you have some unique thoughts after you eat donuts." Edward says smirking at me.

I blush a little at that and Bella elbows him in the side. Edward groans a little and looks over at her. She motions to me, and he turns to see the confused and embarrassed look on my face.

"Edward can read minds." Bella explains.

"Oh okay. Well that's fine, everyone gets to see my imaginations anyways." I say shrugging.

"What do you mean by that?" Renesmee asks curious.

I kneel on one of my knees so that I'm at her level and can talk to her without having to look down at her.

"Answer me this Renesmee. What have you always wanted in your backyard?" I ask.

I give her some time to think about it and she came up with a cute idea. Once I had an image of what she wanted, I looked around for a spot to put it. I found an open spot that it would look cute at and closed my eyes. I made the picture clearer in my mind, then made it into reality. When I opened my eyes a statue of a cute little bunny family was just standing and some were playing with each other.

"It's so cute." Renesmee gushes eyes wide.

"Wow, that is neat." One of the guys I haven't met yet voices.

"Thank you." I say giving a light smile.

I turn back to Renesmee and smile at her before standing back up. Esme takes me over to the three vampires that were away during all that time. Rosalie had told me that they were searching for another hybrid like Renesmee.

"Aurelia this is Alice, Zachariah, and Jasper." Esme introduces.

Alice steps up to me first and just stares at me for a minute. She looks like she's thinking something over, and tilts her head to the side with a question on her mind.

"You were the girl that helped out with the newborns?" Alice asks wanting it confirmed.

"Yes, I had just moved to Forks that day." I tell her.

I began to feel a little nervous as Alice looks me up and down with a serious look on her face. That same calm feeling came over me again, and I happily embraced it.

"Alice stop teasing her." Zachariah chuckles wrapping his arm around her waist.

Alice smiles over at him, then turns back to me and surprisingly pulls me into a light hug.

"Welcome to the family little sister." Alice whispers so only I would hear.

I'm sure Edward caught it, cause when we pulled away from each other I could see him smiling. I thought 'Shut up' to him and turned to Zachariah.

"Hey firecracker, you sticking around this time?" Zachariah asks gently pulling me into a quick hug.

"Yeah, I believe so." I nod trying not to glance over at Jasper.

Zachariah had no problem looking over at him though, and calling attention to us both.

"You hear that bro she's staying this time." Zachariah says slapping him on the back.

Jasper turned to glare at Zachariah, and I turned away from them to keep from blushing. Edward started laughing at the three of us, so I decided that he needed a little payback. I quickly imagined Bella lightly hitting the back of his head and made it happen. Bella and Edward both looked shocked at what happened, and this time it was me cracking up laughing. Rosalie was the one who figured out what happened first, and joined me in laughing.

Hello Dear Readers!

Well I hoped that you all like the chapter and more is going to happen in the next chapter. I wanted to make their meeting seem natural and I believe that I did pretty well with that. Hopefully I won't go to fast with their relationship, but also not to slow either. I don't want to bore anyone with too much down time between the drama and action. Well I hope everyone has a good read and a good day!
