A/N: Sorry about how long it is. I need to quit having to cut things in half. Anyways, here's the chapter. Also; I felt it was time for some Leah/Embry fluff.
Other Stories: So, yeah the starting of Temptations…it kind of sucks. That was when I first started writing FanFiction. So, tell me if you think I should re-write some things. (I.e. Shopping with Alice, Sue and Charlie's wedding) I'm going to write a story for Danny and Zoë called For Those of Us Who March to The Beat of a Different Drum (If that title's not too long that is) and a story for Irin and Suzette called Nothing Is Inevitable Except Death, Taxes, And Imprinting. I don't know when I will have these written, but it will be soon.
Chapter 10: Promises Part 2
(Renesmee's p.o.v.)
I turned around in my attacker's grip. I could smell that it was a vampire. I knew the smell from somewhere, some distant time.
I heard Jacob bark and the vampire hissed. She leaned down and bit me. Things started to go black a little but I fought the urge to close my eyes.
Jacob jumped over the ferns with Brady close on his heels and they landed on either side of the vampire.
"Let. Her. Go." Jacob had phased back quickly to say it (but unfortunately not long enough for me to see anything considered inappropriate) and then changed into a wolf again.
I looked at the woman's face. A pale circle with red eyes framed my dark brown hair. Suddenly I saw the cloak, a black cloak. Volturi. They were behind this.
The woman jumped over Brady and landed on the other side of him. Crap. This is how I was going to die? Damn.
I tried to grasp the idea of death. I would never get to go on my date with Jacob, never see my family again, never see my friends again, never get married to Jacob, never have his kids. It was too much and I started to cry, more from the pain in my heart than that in my leg.
That only made Jacob snarl more and he switched positions, trying to work out a way to attack without injuring me. I saw Brady over the woman's shoulder trying to do the same thing.
Suddenly the woman crouched to take a sip of my blood, I could tell the smell of blood drizzling out of my calf was getting to be too much for her.
This was definitely a newborn, either that or she wanted me to suffer because you killed our pray before you drank it.
Jacob made a signal with his tail for Brady to back off and he jumped just as the woman bent her head.
He had her on the ground now a couple of feet from me. I winced as the venom went deeper into my blood stream. Mom had been right, venom was poison to me, just like with shape-shifters.
Brady hurried over to rip off the woman's arms and he threw them in a pile at the center of the clearing. He phased back quickly and got a lighter out of his pants as soon as he had put them on and set them ablaze.
Jacob had phased back too and Brady ripped off the woman's legs as she let out a scream.
"What are you doing here?" he asked, "Why did they send you?"
He had noticed the cloak too. The woman just let out another scream that chilled me to the bone.
I had counted. It had been two minutes since she had bitten me. I had two and a half more before I was dead.
Jacob looked at Brady, "See if you can get some answers out of her!"
He hurried over to me and looked at me, "Nessie? I'm gonna take Brady's belt and wrap it around the top of your leg to the venom won't travel."
Brady tossed his belt over and Jacob tightened it just above my knee. He leaned down and looked at me with pleading eyes, "I'm sorry I have to do this. Please forgive me."
He took out a pocket knife that he kept for times like this and cut a small slit in my skin a little above where I had been bitten. He leaned down and some blood dribbled out along with some venom I'm sure.
He put his lips to my skin and drew out some of the blood. He hissed and spit the blood on the ground.
"It burns," he sighed as he leant back down and sucked out some more. He spat out some more blood and then went back to sucking some.
I started to drift out of consciousness and in the middle of it I heard another scream from the vampire. She was dead, I might be too.
"Nessie, Nessie," said Jacob shaking me, "I think it's gone. I can't taste anything besides blood. It doesn't burn my mouth anymore!"
(Jacob's p.o.v.)
Her eyelids fluttered a little and then she closed them. Oh, God. Was I too late? No, no, no, no!
Suddenly her eyes flew open all the way and she propped herself up on her elbows. Thank God!
I leaned down and scooped her up in my arms, "Oh my God! You're all right!" I kissed her on her forehead and she began to cry.
Suddenly, I was mad. I looked at Nessie, standing up and grabbing her by her arm, "What the hell is wrong with you? What were you thinking? I told you to stay in the frickin' car! Do you know what I'd do without you?"
She was crying harder now and as I grabbed her harder she yelped, "Jacob! Ow! Ouch! Let go! You're hurting me!"
Out of nowhere Edward came flying out from between the trees, and grabbed me by the shoulders hissing, "Get. Your. Hands. Off. My. Daughter. Now."
I released Renesmee realizing what I had been about to do. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I had hurt Renesmee. She didn't deserve that.
"I'm sorry," I whispered as I looked at Renesmee as she sobbed in her mother's arms. God, I was stupid. I had bee about to harm Nessie, beautiful Nessie, the one who meant everything to me. The one who I loved most. The one I could always rely on.
She nodded and Bella hissed at me and brought her daughter closer in a tighter embrace. "Do you want me to regret my decision Jacob?" she hissed.
I shook my head no. Edward looked around confused, "What decision? About what?"
Bella took a deep breath and looked at her husband, "I decided to let them go on a double date with, I presume, Seth and Ashley."
Nessie dried her tears and nodded a yes and Edward looked around at all of us.
"You know what Bella?" he said as he let go of me, "You know Jacob best, so I'm going let you take care of this one." He turned his attention back to me, "But dog if you ever even so much as touch my daughter in a threatening way, I'll kill you."
He walked off into the woods after that and Renesmee let go of her mom and approached me.
She looked up at me and I met her halfway in a hug and kissed her on the head, "I'm sorry Ness, I was just so worried…"
I trailed off and just hugged her, savoring the moment, not wanting it to ever end.
By the time we had stopped hugging Bella was already gone.
"Let's get you to Carlisle," I said as I picked her up bridal style. I looked down her leg and inspected the cut.
It was undoubtedly going to make a scar. I hugged her closer to my chest and looked down at her, "I will never, ever let anything hurt you ever again."
She nodded and put her face in my neck. As we walked along I looked at her, "Renesmee can I have your promise bracelet back?"
She looked at me with a hurt, confused expression, "Why? What for? Don't you love me?"
"Of course I do," I assured her, "But I want you to fix it. We're kind of dating now so I need to add some more stuff to it to show my love for you. That's how it works. I mean I wouldn't call us just friends anymore. Would you?"
"Oh, well no we're not just friends anymore," she said with a blush as she sat up a little and slipped the bracelet off her left wrist, careful not to get any of the charms from her other bracelet on her right wrist caught.
She had a wolf that I had carved for her after the Volturi had come, a motorcycle from the year when I had sold my first motorcycle, a fish from the summer the guys and I had taught her how to fish out at James Pond when she was "five", an apple from when she had started school, and a tree from the time we had built that old tree house in the woods not too far from here.
"Hey, Ness?" I asked as we walked down the path that I had made over the years leading to the Cullen's, "You want to go check out the old tree house later on?"
She nodded, "Yeah, but right now I can't walk because of my leg…so can we go see Grandpa Carlisle?"
I nodded and continued on our path to through the woods. I couldn't help but remember the last time I had done this, I had been carrying Bella.
I frowned. One day I was going to have to tell Nessie about how I had crushed on, and kissed, her mother. I was going to have to do it soon too, I didn't want to keep secrets from my girlfriend because I didn't want to loose her, but if I told some of those secrets then I might not have a girlfriend to loose.
She turned in my grasp to look at me and I plastered a grin on her face. I pretended nothing past her leg was wrong and leaned down to kiss her forehead.
(Renesmee's p.o.v.)
Something was wrong. I mean of course I knew that because a vampire had just tried to kill me, but that wasn't my biggest worry.
My biggest worry was why the vampire had tried to kill me. Why had the Volturi sent her? Dad had warned me before about how the Volturi had tried to recruit he and Aunt Alice, and one day they might come for me. But why the hell would they try to kill me? They knew I wasn't venomous and Aro had agreed to not kill me the first time, so why now?
All the questions bounced around in my head but at the top of the list was one big one: why was no one pretending like this was a big deal?
I could smell that up ahead mom was walking just a little ahead of us. She wanted to give us privacy but she was close incase there were more vampires.
"Jacob?" I asked, "What's going on here?"
He shook his head, "I don't know Nessie, I don't know."
(Jacob's p.o.v.)
It killed me that I didn't know what was going on here. What kind of Alpha was I? I was leader of the werewolves, werewolves were supposed to kill vampires and anything that threatened the people of La Push and the surrounding cities.
Had it not occurred to me why Nick had phased? A wolf had to phase because of a threatening vampire. Why had I not thought about that?
I had Renesmee home and with Carlisle when I went to the big house.
I walked in and Edward was waiting for me.
I walked straight up to him. He didn't flinch just stared me in the face as I growled, "I thought she was safe here?"
"I thought you were her imprint," he hissed back, "Aren't you supposed to protect her?"
I started shaking at that but Jasper had me by the arms and was trying to change my emotions. He calmed me down and let me go.
I took a deep breath, glaring at Edward I said in a controlled voice, "If you hadn't grounded her she wouldn't have come to my place and then she wouldn't have followed me into the woods and then she wouldn't have been bitten and we wouldn't be having this conversation!" Then I turned to Jasper who was trying to change my emotion, "And would you stop that Mr. Undead Prozac?"
Jasper frowned and then walked away and Edward kept looking at me acting like he was about to pounce.
Bella came between us and pushed us away from each other and for a second it felt like the old days, "Guys! You need to quit acting like children! Renesmee is hurt and you are fighting about who's fault it is? What's done is done, we need to find out who did this."
"Well, obviously the vampire didn't act on her own," I said, "I mean she was wearing one of those Volturi cloaks."
Everyone froze at the name Volturi and Alice looked like she was some place far, far away.
"What is it Alice?" asked Bella from the couch.
Alice looked up after a while, "The Volturi, they're coming. They want Renesmee."
"When?" I asked barely able to talk.
"Not anytime soon, she looks about eighteen actually seven. You've got about half a year. You should just…pretend like nothing's wrong for now," advised Alice.
"Pretend like nothings wrong?" I asked in outrage. I flipped over a table and went outside to phase.
(Irin's p.o.v.)
"So where are you taking me to?" I asked my little brother as we walked down one of the sets of stairs in the house.
See, we practically lived in a mansion. Our parents had been rich before their death in a car accident last year. When they passed away they had left us their fortune and the mansion. So, I guess you could kind of called us spoiled rich kids, Krys more so than me.
"I told you!" he sighed, "We're going to Port Angeles to find your girl! Damn do you ever listen to anything I say?"
"You know Krystopher, you are really starting to act like a girl. Most people have to be married or have a sister or a female in their house to be subjected to this. But no I have Krystopher Lucas Neils Nagger Extraordinaire for a brother and a housemate!" I said as I grabbed his car keys and threw them.
He caught them in a mid air leap and we walked out of the door. He looked at me, " First of all don't call me Krystopher, it's Krys. And two at least I'm not the one who's whipped! You and Danny are imprinted and all mushy lovey dovey and crap! I hate you guys!"
I jumped into the Charger, "Really then why are you inviting me to go to Port Angeles with you?"
"Because Danny is being a girl and he's going to be in his room all day trying to figure out which shoes complement his eyes for crying out loud!" he yelled as we drove down the driveway and away from the biggest house in Forks.
"Oh, shut up," I said with a roll of my eyes. Krys had accelerated to ninety mph and I was thanking God that it wasn't raining and the roads were dry.
In about five minutes (opposed to the regular thirty minutes) we were in Port Angeles and looking for a good parking space at this little kosher coffee place.
"Why in God's name are we at a kosher coffee place?" I asked, "I mean what the hell do we need kosher coffee for? We're werewolves! Since when do we care if what we eat is kosher?"
Krys smiled and shook his head taunting me in a sing-song voice, "I think a certain someone's imprint's prolonged absence is eating away at him!"
I looked at my little brother. I loved him, I really did. I didn't want to kill him, but sometimes he really got on my nerves.
"Dude, I'm about this close to killing you," I said showing how close I was with my fingers.
Before I could make anymore death threats she walked by. "She comes here every morning for coffee," whispered Krys.
My world stopped turning, literally.
She was my world and had been previously spinning in circles. She stopped as her eyes caught mine and she fell backwards.
I jumped up and ran to help her up. I was their before her friends could register what had happened.
She sat up and I offered her my hand. She took it without hesitation and smled as she remembered me.
"You're Irin right?" she asked, "From the yoga studio?"
"Yeah," I said as I stood her up, "You okay?"
She nodded as she twirled a curl around her finger and a red blush spread out on her white cheeks.
"So, um, I was wondering…do you want to…do something sometime? A date, but um only if you want. I mean we could just…hang out," I said as I averted my eyes, also blushing.
She nodded and whispered, "A date."
I had never been so thrilled in my life. "Okay, so here's my phone number," I said scrolling out my number in messy hand writing with a pen that Krys handed me on a piece of paper that Krys had also handed me.
"So, we'll set something up?" she confirmed. I noticed she had a slight accent, French maybe?
(Suzette's p.o.v.)
After Irin had walked away my girlfriends turned to me. Kathy looked at me, "Not that I'm opposed to Mr. Hottie over there, but um what about Michael? Your boyfriend?"
Crap. I had forgotten about my boyfriend. I know how absurd and stupid that sounds, but it's true. It's like when I looked at him nothing else mattered anymore.
Not my boyfriend. Not the fact that I was Jewish Orthodox and I had caught sight of more than one tattoo on his arm. No, he gave me a sense of security, when I was around him it was like we were the only people on the earth, the only two that mattered.
"Shut up and let's get some coffee," I sighed as I walked away. My friends followed.
Hours Later
(Leah's p.o.v.)
I looked at myself in the mirror and smoothed out the skirt of my blue dress. You couldn't completely tell that I was pregnant with the dress that Emily had let me borrow for the dinner with my parents.
The whole family would be over. And by that I meant mom and Charlie, Seth and Ashley, Embry and myself, and little did they know Embry and mine's baby.
"How do I look?" I asked as Embry came behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, kissing me from behind.
"Hot, as always babe," he whispered as we kissed harder. I turned around and unbuttoned his shirt while he unzipped my dress part way.
"You know we're gonna be late for dinner," I whispered as my dress fell on the floor. He nodded and smirked, "They'll wait."
Well, turns out Embry was wrong. They weren't waiting for us. When we got there all the cars were in the driveway: (Charlie and mom's cars of course) Seth's Dodge, and now Embry's Blazer.
I rang the doorbell and mom answered. She pulled us into a hug and, unlike Ashley, didn't notice I was pregnant.
"Come on, come on," she urged as we walked inside the house. We seated ourselves across Seth and Ashley at the table.
I looked around and Ashley flashed me a thumbs up and an encouraging smile. She was no longer in my brother's jacket and All Stars but a purple dress with a red ribbon around the waist.
"So, Seth tells us you have some good news?" asked mom. I nodded and tucked my left hand under the table. She obviously hadn't yet caught sight of either of my rings.
"Well, what is it?" asked mom getting excited as she passed Embry the roast beef, "Tell me! You know I have no patience!"
"Yeah, tell her Leah," said Seth with a grin as he whipped his mouth to try and hide it.
I held out my left hand, "I'm married to Embry."
Ashley told us congratulations and Seth just smirked again.
I looked at mom and her face was kind of red. Crap, damn, admit! This wasn't going over as well as I had hoped it would.
"Leah Clearwater," she mumbled, "Have you lost your ever-lovin' mind?"
"No mom, I'm in love. And if I choose to express that love by going to get hitched in Vegas at a shotgun wedding then so be it!"
Embry closed his eyes and rubbed the bridge of has nose while Seth and Ashley tried not to laugh.
Sue just opened and closed her mouth while Charlie just sank his chair uncomfortably and sipped his drink.
"Did you just say shotgun wedding as in you were pregnant?" asked Sue in a low voice.
"Yep, that's right mom," I said in a smaller voice, "I'm two months pregnant, with Embry's baby."
"Leah Shea Clearwater!" she yelled, "You just killed a piece of me! Where the hell did you get the idea to get pregnant and married and not tell your mother?"
"I dunno," I mumbled. Great, she was making me feel like a naughty three year old. Wonderful!
"Leah, we are going to do this whole wedding over again. Do you understand me?" she hissed.
"Mom, no!" I whined. I had excepted yelling, not demanding a do-over!
"Then we are at least planning a party! Do you hear me Leah Clearwater?"
"Yes ma'am," I mumbled.
"Well," said Sue, "Now that that's all settled let's finish eating dinner."
(Zoë's p.o.v.)
"Where the hell is my dress?" I screamed as I went through my closet. The door to the bathroom that connected my room to Ash's was open on my side but the one on hers wasn't. She was making out with Seth. They had just gotten back from his mom's house. Apparently spending two hours with there lips apart was too much for them.
I went through my closet one more time, throwing my things on the floor. I had everything on my floor. My striped All Stars and my Yellow Box flip flops, my golden Saints flats with the fleur-de-lis on them. My mini skirts, my tank tops, and that wasn't even half of it.
Ashley still hadn't come to help me. Usually whenever I went into crisis mode Ashley was there to help me. But oh no she had to be doing whatever the hell she was doing with Seth.
My little black and white Boston terrier, Hank, pocked his head up from under a pile of sweaters and whined at me.
I got a dog treat out of the box on my dresser and threw it to him. He caught it in mid air and galloped out of the room to find Omega, who was now growing into his huge paws.
Constance walked into the room, "What the hell is wrong with you? I've seen you go on at least fifteen dates since you got here and you've never stressed out. What the fuck are you freaking out about?"
Ashley was now in the room, buttoning up her dress and Seth was behind her walking through the bathroom into my room.
"Hey don't say that word!" she scolded Connie, who only rolled her eyes as she leaned against my wall. She was fitting in fine here.
"What word?" she asked innocently.
"The word you just said!" said Ashley as she crossed her arms.
"Well, gee Ash, I just said lots of words. Which one were you talking about?" Connie was smiling now and so was Seth. I would have been too if not for the fact that I couldn't find my dress for my date which was in twenty minutes. I took a puff of the joint in my hand.
"Fuck!" yelled out Ashley, "Don't say the word fuck!"
Seth laughed a little and Connie rolled her eyes again, "But you just said it."
"Doesn't mean you can say it though," reminded Ashley, trying to be a big sister. This time it was my turn to roll my eyes.
"Please!" I scoffed, "The things you said when you were thirteen!"
Ashley blushed and then looked at me yelling, "Thank you oh so much for your help Zoë!"
"Always here to help," I said with a shrug, "Now where is my dress?"
"In mine and Hannah's closet," said Constance, "Because remember you didn't have room for it in your overstuffed closet so you made us two who have to share a closet hold onto it."
Just as she said it Hannah came in with my checkered purple and gray dress. I rushed them all out of the room and quickly thanked Hannah.
I put out the cigarette and put my dress on the bed and hurried off to the shower. I quickly washed my hair and got my razor out to shave my legs.
That was the only reason I hated having dark brown hair and pale skin, (Yeah, thanks Forks!) having to shave all the time.
On the last stroke I cut my leg and blood came pouring down it. It was a deep cut, my hands had been shaking.
Damn. Soap got into the open cut, making it sting. I put my hand over the gash and turned off the water, grabbing the ancient knobs.
I needed to get Benji to replace the knobs in here. They were the old glass ones that the house originally came with. Lord only knows how old this house was. Only Dakotah and Corvin would know. It was their house before we all moved in.
I wrapped a towel around my body and stepped out onto the rug in front of the tub. I rummaged around in my counter (the other being Ashley's) drawer and found my Snoopy and Hello Kitty Band-Aids.
Deciding on a blue and gray Snoopy one, I put it over the cut. I pulled out my pink camouflage hair dryer and turned it on high.
Partly to mask out the sounds of Ash and Seth laughing as they made out and partly to speed this up a bit.
I brushed it and dried it at the same time until I only had a couple of minutes left and yanked the hair dryer out of the wall, running to my bed and then heading to my dresser.
I found a strapless gray bra and matching underwear and threw that on, then my dress. I went into my closet and got my gray All Stars.
I threw those on and went over to my dresser once again. I ran some Axe hair gel through my brunette locks and put in my contacts. After that I put on some makeup. I was ready to go.
I skipped down the stairs and as I hit the last step the doorbell rang. Angelyna answered it and let in Mr. Tall, Dark, And Handsome.
He was wearing a dark gray t-shirt and blue skinny jeans. His coppery skin glowed a little in the light on the porch.
He looked over Angelyna's shoulder at me and smiled. I felt myself smiling back. God, before you knew it I would be Ashley. I never ever got this giddy over a date. Why now?
Angy stepped out of the way and went back to the kitchen, it was her turn to cook dinner.
"Well, hello beautiful," he said in a low voice with a blush which made me blush. Oh God. I was Ashley.
I walked over to the pegs on the wall and got my jacket. Danny took it from me and put it on my arms. Oh, a gentleman.
I turned around and threw my arms around his neck and stood on my tiptoes before I kissed him.
He was the kind of kisser that put his hands at your waist. There were those kind of kissers, then the ones who put their hands in your hair or on your face, and then their were the ones that put their hands on the small of your back or on your butt.
Before I was finished though Ashley came down the stairs with Seth and Seth yelled out, "Hey, Zoë give the man some time to get to know you! Sheesh!"
Danny jumped back and blushed but I just rolled my eyes at them.
Suddenly there was the howl of a wolf in the night. I looked out behind Danny. That had been happening a lot lately. Wolves howling.
"God, I didn't know we had so many wolves around here," I said, "I saw this really pretty one the other day. Sandy with blue eyes."
Seth cleared his thorat and exchanged a look with Ashley who slightly punched him in the arm.
"Danny, I think we need to go," he said with a look that I wasn't supposed to see. I opened my mouth to protest but Seth had already grabbed Danny and was dragging him towards the woods.
"Please explain all this Ashley!" he yelled out, "I need you to!"
Ashley watched them with a worried look on her face until they were gone and then she closed the door and turned to me, "You're gonna want to sit down for this one Zoë."
I sat down on the couch and looked at her. No one else was in sight and I looked up at my best friend waiting for her to tell me what was up.
She told me everything. She told me Danny was a werewolf, part of a pack of wolves that protected people from one thing, the only thing they killed: vampires.
She fiished off her explanation with a, "Oh, and baby, you've got your own wolf. Leave my pretty sandy blue eyed wolf to me. I can handle him just fine."
"You don't honestly expect me to believe that do you?" I asked skeptically.
"See for yourself, when Danny get's back ask him. See if I'm not right," she said and then walked back up the stairs.
I just sat there on the couch. I had a date with a werewolf. Or at least I was supposed to have a date with one.
(Danny's p.o.v.)
When we got to the clearing in the midle of the woods that we used for all of our emergency pack meetings Jacob was there.
He had been human and talking to Sam who nodded at him and smiled whispering, "I'm going to be a father, again."
Emily must have gone into labor with their third child. I was happy for Sam sure, but mad because Jacob had ruined my date.
Jacob phased back and we all heard what he was thinking. The Volturi would be back, and this time there would probably be a fight.
I'm keeping it from Renesmee for as long as possible, he said, We have about a year. So you may want to keep it from your girls. Don't worry anyone unless necessary. So, everybody be prepared. We're going to the Cullens to make a battle plan.
But- I started but Jacob cut me off snapping in the Alpha's voice, No ifs, ands, or buts. Understand?
I looked regretfully over my shoulder in the direction of the house and then walked behind Jacob with my tail between my legs.
(Jacob's p.o.v.)
I led the pack to the Cullen house. Nessie was asleep in the cottage not knowing that any of this was going on.
I phased back to human on the doorstep and yanked on some shorts. I was so pissed that I didn't know how it was possible to phase back to human form, but I did.
I opened the unlocked door and took a deep breath before stepping inside. It was amazing how one's day could change. This morning I woke up happily snuggled with Renesmee and now here I am discussing the probability of the Volturi coming to get her.
The boys phased back too. Everyone, minus Melanie and Leah who had kids to think of and Nick who was at home in pain, was here. That made fifteen of us.
Fifteen of us and eight Cullens. Twenty three of us, how many Volturi? I was about to have a mental brakedown.
"So, um you guys," said Alice coming to the fron of the crowd, "as Jake has probably told you…I had a vision. It was of the Volturi, the rulers of my kind, coming to abduct my neice Renesmee. The Volturi want her and I'm pretty sure that they want Nahule and his sisters, the other hybrids, too. I've sent Rosalie and Emmett to help them get here to safety. My visions may change, according to what we do and what they do, but I do know we have at least five months before the whole lot comes."
Paul, who was standing beside me nodded, "I'll make sure Sam knows to double our pack's patrol's. Make sure nothing gets through the borders."
Edward nodded and they both looked at me, "I'll do the same. Double patrols. Some of our wolves can run together, sense I have more."
Edward nodded again. I turned around, "Okay, Krys, Kenny, you two run the old treaty line."
They nodded and jogged out the door as Paul gave directions to Cole and Austin. "Everyone else, I guess you guys can go. Um, Danny, you better hurry up and go out on your date."
Danny nodded to me and smiled then went out the front door. I felt him phase and then he left for the "Burrow".
"Everyone else, go home," I said with a wave of my hand. I turned to Edward and Bella, "Do you mind if I go see Renesmee?"
Bella nodded and pulled herself closer to Edward. I walked away before I could see what happened next.
Once in Renesmee's room I laid down beside her, careful not to awaken her. I needed my Nessie, and I needed her now.
(Zoë's p.o.v.)
I plopped back on the couch and looked up at the cealing. Yeah, I had been with every gy imaginable. But this one, Danny, he was different. Leave it to me to find a werewolf for a date.
I blew a section of my bangs up in the air. A werewolf, I mean a werewolf? C'mon! I mean, Ashley told me the legends, she explained everything to me. It was hard to believe but I did. I wasn't scared of him, but maybe I should be. I had also dealt with my fair share of crazy dudes, being a drug dealer and all, but he wasn't crazy. He was sweet, but I knew he could furpolde in two seconds flat and kill me without blinking an eye. He would feel bad about it sure, but yes he could still do it. According to Ashley it had happened before.
Suddenly there was a voice behind me, his voice, "Do you still want to go out?"
"Well, the movie would be half over by now," I said with a shrug as I took off my jacket, "Do you just want to have a pic-nic here?"
He smiled and nodded, "Yeah, sure. What are we eating?"
"Smells like chicken and cornbread," I said, "Sorry, those are two of the only things Angy and Kee-kee can make."
"I'm not a picky eater," he whispered as I got off the couch. He held out his hand and I took it, walking into the kitchen.
(Leah's p.o.v.)
I was watching T.V. and trying not to go to sleep when Embry came in the front door and into the living room.
"Hey babe," he said as he sat down beside me and kissed my temple. He looked down at my expanding waist and smiled a little.
He rest his hand on it and I put mine over his. Suddenly there was a small fluttering. Embry's smile grew and our eyes met.
"Did the baby just…?" he trailed off as he looked back down.
"Kick us?" I finished for him, "Yeah."
"Is the baby supposed to be able to do that?" he asked in awe.
"I have no idea," I said with a shake of my head, "but it is growing faster than normal. So, yeah. Pretty soon we should schedual an appointment with the tribe midwife. Don't you think?"
He laughed a little and nodded, "Don't you think we should let Carlisle do it? I mean, he knows the whole situation."
I shook my head no, "I'm not letting Dr. Fang anywhere near me or the baby."
"Why not?" he asked, "He's a good vamp, like a human almost. He won't hurt you."
"I'd prefer the midwife," I whispered as I leaned into him.
"Okay, okay," he said, "You're the one carrying the baby. You should be able to decide."
I nodded then picked my head up, "What was Jacob so worried about?"
"Vampire," he said, "In about half a year the Volturi are coming for Renesmee. One came today and tried to kill her."
"She okay?" I asked alarmed.
He nodded, "Yeah. She's fine. She's going to have to go someplace where the Volturi can't find her."
"But-" I started but soon he placed his lips on mine. After our lips had parted he tiredly shook his head no, "Let's just not focus on that for now. Have you thought about baby names yet?"
"Yeah," I said, "I think we're having a boy. So, I was thinking Seth Harold, after my brother and my father."
He nodded, "Well, I think we're having a girl, and I wanted to name her Joyce Anne, after my mother."
"Okay," I said, "I'll make you a deal, if it's a girl you can name her, if it's a boy I can name him."
He nodded back and I continued talking, "And I was thinking, Ashley and Seth…they seem to be getting kind of serious. So, maybe we could give him this house and we can move into your mother's house?"
"I think I can do it," he said, "I can't avoid it forever. How about after the wedding reception?"
"Yeah," I said back with a yawn. He picked me up and cradled me to his chest and walked upstairs.
