Kate's POV

When my family and I first agreed to take EJ out, we never expected him to not only ditch us twice but have him be so difficult to deal with. But I couldn't really blame him considering that Edward and Bella barely took him out. I really wanted him to enjoy himself-well I guess he did. I mean he was cute and all but it was annoying that he actually managed to ditch us.

The part that really annoyed me was that when Tanya grabbed him when he was going towards the human crowd. Really I thought she knew better than to grab EJ right in front of me like that. I can tell you right now that I wasn't pleased. When we went into the movies, Tanya was going sit near EJ just in case he tried to skip out on us. I hissed at her and it only made me hold onto EJ a bit closer to me. I had him sit in between Eleazar and I with Carmen sitting besides Tanya. Throughout the entire movie EJ was really focused on it, meaning his eyes never left the screen and his candy and water were untouched.

So after the movie we all decided that we would stop by the mall and shop for a bit. When we at the entrance of the mall EJ took a deep breath and recolied from the smell. He texted us on the smell of humans and we all laughed at what he texted to us. But I did have to agree with him on that humans are disgusting.

He looks really adorable when he blushes, especially when I get him to blush twice in one day. It was funny when we stopped at Victoia Secrets and EJ almost took a step inside and immedietly step out. He stood in between Eleazar and Laurent with a disgusted look in his face. All of facial expressions are seriously funny.

"Hmmm? When EJ's older I wonder what he's gonna be like? Will he be so uptight like Edward or layed back like Bella?" I thought. I looked up and had a light bulb. We were in front of the most prestigious store for womens clothing. I looked behind me and saw that the boys were gone.

"Hey Kate come on! Maybe you can get some clothes for EJ." Irina waggled her eyebrows at me. I gave her a small shove and told her to 'Shut up.'

"I know for a fact that when EJ gets older he won't be like that. He has much of Edward in him to be like that." I said to her. Boy if I could blush, I would've been.

"That's bullshit and you know it. Yeah Edward demands but he doesn't get what he wants, most of the time. However when Bella wants something she gets it. EJ's more like Bella in every way. Nessie is more like Edward." Irina explained while shuffling through the racks.

"I have to agree with Irina on this one Kate," Carmen said agreeing with Irina,"EJ's more like Bella. He's going to be tough when he gets older and maybe a little harder to deal with. He has Bella's rebellious streak all the way."

There were mummers of agreement amongst us, even Tanya. I huffed and started looking at the racks on what they have. They have a nice selections but I started thinking that maybe it's a bit pedophile to be buying this stuff for a boy who is only what, six right now.

"I don't think I want to buy anything right now." I said with a sigh.

"What! Why? We're in Victoria Secrets and your not going to even buy anything!" Tanya said with shock.

"What's bothering you Kate?" Carmen asked softly. I shook my head at her.

"Kate we're all family. What's wrong?" Carmen asked again. I sighed softly and procceded to tell them.

"It's the fact that when I imagened to meet my mate, I didn't expect to meet him when he's young. I mean literally younger, he's probably even going to be younger than me. I don't care about the fact that he's scared or anything I mean I could care less about his baggage, I can deal with that," Carmen cut me off.

"Are you saying that you don't want to be with EJ because he's young or the fact that he's-well a half-breed?" Carmen asked. I know that it was an innocent question but I was feeling a little irritated at what she asked.

"No it's not that. It's because he's young and-no that's not it. Well no..." I stopped because I knew what was wrong I just don't know how to say it out loud.

"Kate just spit it out already. You're seriously getting all out of sorts from a six year old boy. Wow you're like a little school girl. Speaking of which, here you go." Irina scoffed at Kate but threw her a school girl outfit. Carmen shook her head Irina but I knew she was trying to calm me down.

"I'm scared that something is going to happen to EJ. I don't know what or how but I feel like something is going to happen to him. I just wnat to take him away from everything that is happening. One night Edward pulled me aside and told me that even when I made that deal with Bella, he's still going to try and keep with EJ with him. I just want him safe. I feel like I'm going to lose him." I explained. The whole time I wasn't looking at them I just started looking and picking out clothes from the racks.

Tanya slung her arm over my shoulder and told me that no matter what that EJ isn't going anywhere. Carmen and Irina assured me as well. For the rest of the time we spent time looking for clothes and we took it to the counter and payed for it. We walked out of the store with at least two bags on each arm. I looked at the clock on my watch and told the girls what time it was.

"Wow we spent that much time in the store. Well okay I'll call Eleazar to have them meet us at the car." Carmen said while taking out her phone. She dialed Eleazar's number.

"Ask how EJ is doing?" I asked her quickly. I really wanted to know how he was doing. I mostly spent half of our time together away from him. I missed him. I was listening in on the conversation. But I would have to listen to it anyway with vampire hearing and all.

"Tell Kate to relax EJ is fine. in fact not once did he try to run away. He bought several books,a charm bracelet for Nessie, and a blue iPod named Bob." Eleazar said.

That was sweet that EJ bought Nessie a gift. To be honest I felt a little jealous that he bought something for someone else but I reminded myself that was his sister. So we arrived at the car first and we put our stuff in the back. The boys came out just when I was about to put my bags in the back and I caught EJ looking at the bags I had. He tugged on my shirt and pointed to it and I smiled and shook my head at him. He frowned at me. I almost squealed because he looks so adorable when he frowns. EJ took out his phone and started texting on it. I looked at Eleazar and Laurent, Laurent was smiling but Eleazar was trying not to laugh. He was looking down at EJ's phone. My phone chimed a minute later.

"What is "Victoria Secrets"? I'm not gonna take know for an answer." I read EJ's text and wanted to laugh.

"Oh EJ! When you're older you'll know what it is. Such a joy you are." I thought to myself. But said to him at the same time," Later EJ I promise. In fact I'll tell you when you're older, how's that sound?"

EJ just ended up scowling and I felt a little sad he was. It seems like EJ has Edward's scowl down and it's mostly what I see him doing. So I gave my bags to Carmen and Tanya, picked EJ up and kissed him on the cheek. His face went a liitle red and he wrapped his arms around my neck. It seems like EJ is okay with me picking him up. I mean once or twice one of the mutts picked him up but he seems okay with me doing it. Then I heard someone yell out something to us.

"Hey sweetheart! Why don't you put that kid down and I'll give you a good time. I can show what a real man is like." A stupid man shouted at me. I looked around and saw a really ugly looking man and some of his stupid,ugly looking friends. They were all laughing at what I'm assuming their leader said.

"Yeah! You can bring your friends too. Minus the guys and the little kid. We can have a good time all night long if all want." The other ugly looking guy said and they all started laughing again. I put EJ down next to Eleazar and and I went up to them and smiled sweetly at them. Then Tanya and I punched the four guys in the face. All the guys fell and started swearing and I smirked at them.

"Next time don't hit on women who are taken, you stupid asshole." I said at the dumb-founded leader. But one of the four guys snarled but it wasn't directed at us. He was looking past Tanya and I. I looked at where he was looking, he was looking at EJ. EJ had a smirk on.

"You think that it's funny you stupid little brat? Lemme teach you a lesson on how to respect your elders!" The guy said. He got up and started rushing at EJ but Carmen stepped in front of EJ.

Before he got to EJ I grabbed the guy by the scruff of his neck and held him up. He had a terrified expression and he urinated himself and was saying,"Please don't kill me. Please don't kill me," over and over again. I let him go and Eleazar and Laurent let the other guys go and looked at EJ. He was still behind Carmen and looked at the guys with a hungry look on his face. I'm guessing he's hearing the heart beat and the blood pumping. I picked him up and went to the car.

I opened the car door and strapped him into the middle. Told him I'm going to be hunting for a little while. He smiled at me and I smiled back at him. After I was done settling EJ into his seat, I grabbed Tanya and told her to keep her distance from EJ when I'm not around. I don't want something that Tanya said or did that upsets EJ.

"What if he loses control like he almost did today and I'm the only one around?" Tanya asked. She had a point but I shook my head at her.

I started walking down the street. After today I needed to hunt. It was very stressful and didn't expect it so. I mean like I said I love EJ but I didn't know how this is suppose to work. How is he going to be when he's older, if he even gets older. I don't know how old he's going to be. Is he going to be six forever? What if he doesn't love me like I love him? Will he want to live with me? All those questions and more was running through my head.

When I was having a mental conversation with myself I had reach the forest and I could the fire in my throat. It as bad as when I was a newborn, I wasn't like Bella because if I was it would have been a miracle. I started running deeper into the forest and I came across a small group of bears.

"Not really my thing but oh wells. Something is better than nothing." I thought to myself. I remembered that bears were Emmett's favorite.

I went a little closer and hid behind a small shrubbery bush. I crouched low when one of the bears lifted their heads and sniffed the air. Two of the five bears were growling. I'm guessing they smell the danger. I got tired of waiting and the fire in my throat was burning a little hotter. I sprung into the air and landed on one of the bears and bit down on its jugular.

As I bit down on its jugular, I could feel its...satisfying taste sliding down my throat. The bear was stuggling but a minute later it stopped and the body went limp. I lowered it to the ground while I fed on it. A few minuted later I was finished and I went on looking for more to feed on. I needed to feed more so I could spend more time with EJ. I would hate waste any precious moments with EJ. Our time together would be to short but then again Edward said they would only be their to witness the childrens growth.

"But then again with the Volturi coming I sincerely doubt that we'll just be standing by and witnessing. As far as I know for them they won't be idly standing by and listening to reasoning. Which again leads to me saying that every moment I have with EJ is precious." I thought out.

The rest of my day was spent hunting and thinking. I was thinking about the possibilities about EJ and I.

"Is this what newly mated vampires feel like? Ugh, I need to talk to Carmen and Eleazar about this or it's going to drive me crazy!" I thought.

I started running back to the Cullen's house and just in time to. I saw EJ coming down on the last step. I started walking towards Carmen and EJ. As I was walking closer towards EJ I gave him a smile. I asked Carmen in Spanish.

"¿Puedo hablar con usted y Eleazar adelante?" I asked Carmen. (Can I talk to you and Eleazar later on?)

Carmen nodded her head and I caught EJ staring at me. I could see that his mind was whirring with what I just said to Carmen. He's such a curious liitle one. He's just so adorable like that. A small gust of wind past through and I almost gagged on the smell. Some of the bushes were rustling and leaves were cracking under the pressure of the weight on top of them. Two wolves came trotting out and on one of them was carrying Nessie on their backs.

I just glared at them and I stopped breathing because their smell is so revolting. It smells like a wet dog with months old gym clothes left in the locker for a year. Trust me I know what that smells like, not a pleasant experience. Then the sandy-brown was looking at someone. I actually thought it was me but I looked more carefully but he was looking at EJ. The sandy-brown wolf was bending down on his front legs and I pulled EJ into my side a little. Not only seconds after I did that, both wolves growled at me and I was going to say something but Edward walked out with another vampire. He looked good in a rugged way but he couldn't hold a light to EJ. For now EJ has a cut boyish charm goign on but when he is a little older then I will describe him clearly.

EJ had a angry but confused expressions on his face. He looked towards Edward and my guess was that he was asking him something. Edward shook his head at him.

"Seth calm down. Kate is just being cautious with everything that is going on," Edward addressed the dog with what I'm asumming that he was tryign to calm down. Edward turned away from the dog and turned towards me.

"Kate? Seth was offering EJ if he wanted to go hunting with Nessie after she was done with greeting our guest." Edward explained but I wasn't fazed. I knew what he was trying to calm me down as well but his efforts were in vain.

I narrowed my eyes at Edward ten turned to glare at the wolves. I growled softly so EJ wouldn't hear it but soft enough where the stupid mutts could hear it. I wasn't going to let my mate be left alone with these mutts. The reddish-brown wold went towards Edward but only to put Nessie by him. Edward helped Nessie off his back. Then the reddidh-brown dog went towards the mutt known as Seth. He looked at him where a father would look at his child when they did something bad. Then Seth whimpered softly but backed off and ran into the woods.

"So much for a protector." I thought sarcastically and Edward looked at me with dislike in his eyes.

EJ shrugged my hand off his shoulder and went to stand by his dad and sister. Carmen and I stood there watching what was going on. Nessie must be showing the newbie why he is here. Around 3-5 minutes later Nessie was done and by that time Eleazar and Tanya were back with a lot of bags. Carmen and I went to go help wiht the bags. When I reached the car Eleazar whispered into my ear. "Later when EJ is sleeping is when we'll talk." I nodded my head and went into the house to put it away.

Later on when we were done putting the groceries away we all went into the living room. As I walked into the room one of the smelly mutts started yelling at me. It was the she-wolf. She started saying a bunch of stuff that I really don't care about. I took a deep,un-needed breath and it was mistake but I got smell that EJ was in the house.

The she-wolf was glaring at me, the puppy Seth had his head down and Bella had her arms crossed over her chest with a annoyed but amusing expression on her face. Then the she-wolf started to yell at me,"Why the hell did you do that to my brother!? Do you really have a death wish? If you do then I would gladly be the one to grant it!"

This mutt is getting on my nerves about what I 'did' to her brother. "Well stupid bi-" I started off but Bella cleared her throat. I looked at her and she nodded her head towards the doorway. I turned my head and found EJ standing in the doorway.

He frowned at Bella and looked at me. I smiled at him but he narrowed his eyes at me. I inwardly sighed I guess we're back to square one again. Just then Edward, Nessie, the other dog, and the new vampire all came inside the house and into the living room. EJ walked up to Nessie grabbed her hand and layed his head on her shoulder. Then EJ tugged on the mutt that hangs around Nessie, EJ gestured that he wanted to go to sleep. The mutt nodded his head and picked EJ and Nessie up. I felt a little jealous that the stinky mutt gets to touch and tuck my EJ into bed.

As if on cue both twins yawned and when he did they both laid their heads on each of his shoulders and the mutt carried him out. Edward gave them a smile. After the twins left, Edward turned towards my family and I.

"Kate, everyone this is Garret. He is a nomad from Louisiana area." Edward introduced the nomad to us. We gave a small 'Hello' and wave to him. He nodded to each of us.

Tanya stepped up and introduced us to him."Hello Garret I'm Tanya leader of the Denali Clan. These are my sisters Kate and Irina, and the couple on the loveseat is Carmen and Eleazar."

When Tanya was done introducing all of us to Garret his eyes went back to me. I raised my eyebrow at him and he smiled wildly at me. I had to resist the urge to laugh at him because I know what he's thinking.

Both Carmen and Eleazar walked up to me. "Ready Kate?" Carmen asked me and I nodded my head. The three of us walked out of the Cullen house.
