Thanks guys for your reviews, I know I said I would explain the reason for the parallels between BD but that will have to come next chapter as this one has been split in 2 as it was getting too big…Hopefully I post the other half of this tomorrow, so stay tuned and as always let me know your thoughts. Love to all Tink. XX

Renesmee POV

I watched my family, a sad smile tugging at my lips, as I lounged lazily on the sofa, observing their crazy antics. Emmett and Jasper were playing Left for Dead on the 360, bickering and trying to distract each other, Rosalie was painting her toenails a scarlet red, her beautiful face scrunched in concentration, my father and mother canoodling at the piano, talking in soft whispers the rest of us where not meant to but couldn't help overhearing. My grandfather was reading some medical journals and my Gran was painting. Beside me Alice was humming along to her ipod, tiny feet tapping in time with the dull thud of base I could make out. The room was in varying levels of disorganized chaos but I loved it and wouldn't have had my life any other way. I hid a sigh, there was only one thing missing and that was Jake.

My eyes drifted shut, I was tired and hadn't been sleeping well, just as Alice suddenly sat bolt upright with an exasperated groan "Hell, where has the rest of my day gone?"

The entire room fell silent in an instant; we all knew what this meant. The wolves were coming. My heart rate picked up and I felt a million birds take flight inside me as I jumped to my feet and flew with lightening speed to the window.

Rising from the piano my parents were at my side in an instant, closely followed by the rest of my family. My heart thudded in the silence, as there below me on the edge of the forest was Seth and Jake, prowling backwards and forwards anxiously. Jake had come, he had come home, to me.

I could tell from the body language of Jake's wolf he was far from happy, his ears were flat against his head, the fur on his body stood up, his huge body was crouched low to the floor and if I concentrated I could hear faint snarling coming from his chest. But none of that mattered to me, Jake was home.

"Renesmee, upstairs now" my father said brusquely, with a none too gentle shove towards the stair well.

"No! I want to see him," I protested whirling away from him, from all of them to stand alone, my eyes wide and blurring with unshed tears of happiness.

"Renesmee, we don't know what he wants yet…it's better that you are out of the way just until we establish how safe he is" my mom put in. She crossed the room to put her arms around me, I wasn't sure if it was to comfort or restrain me.

"But I want to see him, just for a minute…please" I implored; turning my gaze on every single member of my family, staring into their golden eyes, hoping against hope that one of them would relent and back me. Their stony gazes met mine and I could see the resolution on their faces, this was not to be.

"Jasper take her upstairs please… we will call you when it's safe to come down" my father said softly, not meeting my eyes.

Uncle Jasper came toward me before I'd even had chance to think about moving and caught the top of my arm gently. The surge of anger I expected to feel didn't materialize and instead I felt suddenly so calm and relaxed that I could have gladly slept for a thousand years.

Stifling a yawn behind my hand, I allowed Uncle Jasper to swing me up into his arms and carry me towards the stairs. As I drifted into a deep and peaceful slumber, I thought I heard a warning hiss and the acerbic voice of my Aunt Rosalie saying "Well whatever else has changed, he certainly doesn't smell any better"

Jake POV

Seth paced beside me anxiously, up and down up and down, watching me, waiting for me to calm down enough to phase back into my human form. I felt on edge, anxious, not so much scared as worried I would not be able to control my natural instincts and stop myself from harming the ones we needed to save Emily.

"You can do this Jake; you have to do this for Emily"

"They are my enemy Seth… I feel as though I want to rip their arms off and shove em down their bloodsucking throats"

"Remember what I said to you before… you were friends with them once…they are not our enemy Jake I promise you…please Jake, calm down…you can't phase until you do…think of Sam, think of Emily, think of the baby"

"Fucks sake I'm trying here Seth…but you gotta understand my instincts are telling me to kill and you're telling me to spare them"

"Jake just believe me on this…you do not want to kill the Cullen's…they are our friends and besides we need Carlisle to help Emily"

I felt the anger in my body abating as I thought about Emily and the life within her that needed us now. My first and most primal instinct was the preservation of human life, that was what was important right now. If I couldn't do this two lives would be lost and my pack destroyed forever.

Slowly but surely I felt my tremors cease, my anger dissipate, my heart rate and breathing slow and only seconds later I rose to my feet, hastily donning on the sweats I'd carried with me. I looked up at the large window to find a pack of pale faces staring down at me, some looking more pleased to see me than others. I felt a trickle of hate and anger and began to shake slightly.

"Easy Jake" Seth said from beside me as we started for the door. Before we had got anywhere near it, five bloodsuckers had appeared all staring at me, looking some what bemused and appalled.

I took them in one by one.

Blond haired, Barbie Vampire, all boobs and attitude. Her nose wrinkled, as she smelled me and I stared back at her with equal disdain. Next to her a giant of a man with curly black hair and muscles to match my own, nice to know I would have a challenge when I decided to take them down, I hated it when it was too easy. He smiled lazily at my scrutiny but I didn't get the feeling he felt threatened by me, if anything he had a look of anticapation.

Beside them and in stark juxtaposition was a tiny woman with a lithe dancers figure, spiky black hair and a mischievous glint in her eyes as she winked at me. Just looking at her told me she would be trouble but fun with it.

I caught my breath as my eyes fell upon the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. Pale and slender with chocolate brown curls and a tremulous smile she stared back at me, arms were locked by her side as though preventing her from reaching for me. Her skin was like fine marble and I wondered idly if I touched it would it looked as soft as it felt. My eyes were fixed on hers and held, mesmerized by her golden gaze. I couldn't help but stare at such utter perfection and beauty, as my heart beat doubled.

"Hell not this again" The bronze haired male next to her muttered and I pulled my gaze away from her long enough to study him.

There was something so inhumanely beautiful about him that it hurt to look at him too long; he was tall and rangy but also muscular in an understated way. He was too handsome and the thought shook me. I preferred to look at the stunningly beautiful now beaming female beside him.

"Yeah you always did," he snapped, leaving me more confused than ever.

"Jake these are the Cullens…well some of them" Seth said and then looked at the bronze haired one, his tone more urgent "We need Carlisle, quickly…it's Emily something is wrong with the baby...she bleeding and she's unconscious'"

The pixie faced one groaned and crossed her arms over her chest "This is

Why I hate half breeds, I can't see a thing"

I let loose a warning growl at being called a half breed and the statuesque blond snorted, her hands on her hips, a sneer on her scarlet lips

"Oh pipe down puppy" she bit off.

I glared at her from the corner of my eyes but my attention was riveted on the girl with skin as pure as snow and hair like molten chocolate.

"When you've finished staring at my wife, we need to go Jake" the bronze haired one snapped and I was taken aback by the familiarity of his words and his tone.

Another stirring of a memory erupted in me but it still remained as impossible to catch as a cloud. Then something else occurred to me. They were married; she looked younger than I did. It wasn't right someone as beautiful as her should be destined to be a monster forever.

The pixie like one had disappeared before my very eyes but then was back again only split seconds later with a blond haired male, carrying a black medical bag, their faces taught with worry.

"I'm sorry" she was saying, "I can't see anything…I wish I could, oh I hate being this blind"

"It's okay Alice…Jake" he placed a reassuring hand on her tiny shoulder and greeted me with a smile "Good to have you back…now I suggest we don't linger, from what Alice told me, Emily and the baby could be in grave danger"

I couldn't help it; I gaped at him, totally unprepared for the warmth with which he spoke to me. My reality, the world that I had known was thrown upside down and everything was wrong.

"Jake, this is Dr Carlisle Cullen," Seth said from beside me.

I stared at him again, aghast unable to comprehend what was going on, unable to believe what was happening. For the most part, Barbie vampire aside, the Cullens had greeted me as a friend.

"Bella, Edward I'll need you with me" the Dr said to the bronze haired god and his beautiful wife.

Bella. I rolled the name around my head and stared at her some more, stunned when she gave me cheeky grin. Unconsciously I smiled, mirroring hers, a sense of familiarity surrounded me and it unsettled me even more.

She took a tentative step towards me and I growled a little, and in that second the rest of The Cullens were between her and me. Suddenly I had a flicker of a memory, like a movie playing my head.

I had done this before, Bella and I had stood in this very spot with the rest of The Cullen's between us but last time they were protecting someone else, not her, someone much more vulnerable. And just like that it was frustratingly gone. I growled again.

"It's okay…he won't hurt me" she said her voice so melodic I couldn't believe anything could be so beautiful, it sounded like bells ringing. How could she be so trusting? Did she not know it was in my nature to want to rip her limb from limb?

"You touch one hair on her head and I will personally break every bone in your body" the bronze haired one snarled at me. Shocked I stared at him. Had I voiced my thoughts out loud?

"Edward" she admonished him "We don't have time for you two to go over old wounds, we need to go"

I could not help but grin, whatever had gone between us, this Edward and I had obviously been here before. The thought that I could rattle, needle him pleased me but I was intrigued about my, about our past. There was clearly no love lost between us and his jealously over his wife would one day make him easy prey.

Bella pushed past him and came to stand before me, I sniffed and nearly gagged, she smelled like sugary candy, or putrefied fruit.

"You're really back" she said softly, her face wreathed in smiles and she reached out a hand to clasp my naked shoulder. Her skin was ice cold against my chest yet her touch wasn't unwelcome. This shocked me to my core. If you had told me yesterday I would be stood face to face with a bloodsucker and my only thought would be that I wanted to touch her I would have laughed in your face.

"Ugh yeah" I said unsure what else to say and went rigid as she wrapped her arms around my neck and pressed herself against me lightly. Taken by surprise I hugged her close for half a second, feeling as though I had come home.

"We've missed you Jake," she breathed her voice breaking slightly with emotion and I could see the truth of her words in her golden eyes.

"Um thanks Bells," I said the words rolling off my tongue and was struck by the sense of familiarity as I spoke. Surprise over took shock, as I knew instantly that she was Bells to me. I hadn't heard anyone call her that but it just seemed so natural and so very right to say it.

Edward stepped between us and took Bella's hand in his "I'll take my wife now, thank you Jake"

I couldn't suppress the slight growl of irritation that escaped me; he just seemed so pompous. I could see being pleasant to him was going to be harder than it was with Bella.

To my chagrin and slight annoyance he laughed at me, as though he knew what I was thinking, his icy breath making me feel slightly nauseous. As beautiful as they all looked they reeked.

"Seth, Jake...are you ready?" Carlisle asked us, bringing my attention back to the present and the matter at hand. We nodded and disappeared quickly into the woods to phase.

My mind was a jumbled mess, I felt the stability of my world was threatened and as we sped through the night back to La Push I didn't know where I stood anymore. Nothing in my world made sense to me anymore. The one thing I had been designed for now didn't seem the right thing for me to do. Seth's words to me earlier had been the truth; instinctively I knew that I had been friends or maybe even more with at least one of the leeches. But where did that leave me now? I suddenly felt as though I didn't belong in either the human or the shifter world.

With the bloodsuckers, I mean the Cullens' by our sides we arrived back at house quicker than I thought possible. As I phased and threw on my sweats and charged through the open door, I glanced at the clock and noticed we hadn't gone as long as I feared. I could only pray we weren't too late.
