I just want to say thanks so much to all those that reviewed! It wasn't for nothing (obviously) as I have updated again! Sorry for the wait, but I didn't want to rush into anything really so I had like three rewrites and 500 new ideas before I settled on this. Keep reviewing, no matter what!! luv y'all :) o and so sorry for interrupting again, but I know this chapter's name is really kind of corny and weird, but it just popped into my head and I was like ok so it's the new title!! ok, read on...

"Come on, get up you two. I know neither of you are sleeping." Alice stormed up to where Edward and Bella were laying and ripped the covers off of them.

"Nice to see you too, Alice." Bella begrudgingly got up and gave her friend a one-armed hug while still holding onto Edward's hand.

"Where's everyone else?" Edward followed Bella's lead and sat up to lean against his wall.

"They're coming. I came ahead because they were so slow, and I wanted to see my soon-to-be sister-in-law and brother. She flashed them an overexcited smile before grabbing Bella's hand and dragging her out the door. In turn, Bella grasped Edward's hand in hers and pulled, a train being formed by Alice.

"How far ahead did you go, exactly?" Edward had caught up to the two girls.

"Only a minute or two. That should be them now." Bella listened carefully, and indeed, she could hear the soft rumbling of Emmett's Jeep rolling down the road. They walked outside to help unload the avalanche of suitcases and boxes that Alice and Rosalie had brought. The others had only brought a box or two, but Alice said she could never leave behind all her clothes and makeup when she could now use them to make me over, or in my sense of this, torture me.

Carlisle and Esme jumped out of the car first, walking over to where the three stood and giving Edward and Bella a hug. Being the doctor, Carlisle asked how Bella was feeling and promised her a check-up once they got settled in. Bella just rolled her eyes at her new father's over protectiveness.

Next out of the car were Emmett and Jasper, who gave Bella an over exasperated hug each, glad at the fact that they no longer had to be so gentle. Rosalie made up the rear, saying an awkward hello to each of them and asking a few simple questions before making her way inside to sort her belongings.

Bella knew she meant well, by not wanting to bestow this fate on anyone else when she, herself, didn't get any choice at her fate. What she didn't realize was the love between Edward and Bella, for she had never known love like that before the rest of her life was snatched cruelly out from under her.

"So, how's my little newborn doing?" Bella realized she was walking inside, led by Edward and talking with Emmett.

"Fine. How's my big boy doing?" Bella cooed. Emmett put on a sour face before heading upstairs after Rosalie, who shot Bella a look full of laughter in her eyes.

"Rose thinks you need to throw him into a wall just once while you're still stronger than him." Bella smiled at the couple as they rounded the corner and out of sight, though she thought she saw Rosalie smile towards her.

"Such a nice couple. Where'd Alice go?"

"Were you listening to anything they said? Alice and Jasper went up to their room, as did Esme and Carlisle. They said this like five seconds ago." Bella was silently cursing herself for not realizing that, and for not paying attention. Man, you zone out for less than a minute in this house and you miss everything. Edward led Bella towards the couch, where they sat cuddling again.

"I love you Bella." She looked up, kissing him along the jaw line, making her way to his lips.

"I love you more, Edward."

"That's not possible." She kissed him on the lips, pushing roughly against him. Edward was smiling under her lips, happy he no longer had to be gentle.

"I think I can get used to this."

Alec's POV

I followed my sister through the woods. She was harming small creatures who were unfortunate enough to get in her way. Aro was behind us, not able to keep up with two "kids".

"Jane, stop, please?" I called towards her. Though this did not help the last three times, I felt her slowing down, finally stopping. I hadn't had the heart to throw her into one of the branches to stop her, nor did I want to feel her wrath if I did.

"How the hell did she do that? I've never had that happen before." She sat down on the ground, pulling her knees up to her chest and resting her chin on them. A sob broke through her chest, and I knew if she could cry, she would have started a long time ago.

"I know. I'm not happy about seeing my baby sister being hurt, either. I've felt you when you're mad, and it's not fun. I can't imagine how it would feel if you've never felt anything like that." Aro caught up to us, and I groaned as he tried to help comfort her.

"Are you alright? You can't believe how scared I was when that newborn did that to you. I don't know how she did that. But I promise you, we will find out how and destroy her." This didn't bring up my sister's spirit, as she was reminded Bella was still a newborn. She started sobbing harder into her hands, rips breaking through her body constantly. I glared at Aro, who flung across the woods into an oak.

"Finally, peace and quiet." This made Jane crack up, and I noticed how truly alike we were. It wasn't often when she smiled so honestly and wasn't hurting someone else.

"How'd she do it?" I was almost shocked to hear Jane talk, since she hadn't said a word in the past few hours we had been running. Her voice was low, low enough for only me to hear, even with Aro still struggling next to us.

"I don't know. Maybe she has a power now?" Jane's head shot up instantly.

"I've never heard of it, but that's possible. I mean, she wasn't affected by any of us, so maybe now she amplified that and can instead shoot it back?" I was happy to see Jane smiling, now proud that she wasn't weak. All this time, Aro had been fighting against the invisible force that was holding him up.

"Take this down, you little rodent. I want to see my daughter." I regrettably pulled away the force and let him down. He ran towards us at super-human speed and kneeled next to Jane, who put her head back into her hands.

"Baby, are you alright?" She nodded her head slowly, not happy to be reminded of her experience. Aro stroked back her hair. We sat there for a while, Jane not wanting to look at Aro, and me not wanting to tick off Aro any more than he was already. Finally, when the sun was setting, I spoke up.

"So, what's the plan?"

Bella's POV

"Carlisle, I'm honestly fine. I have been for the past few days. More than fine, actually." Carlisle pulled a small light out of his pocket and shone it in my eyes. I looked away from the harsh shine and waited until he rendered me alright. Finally, he sat down across from me. We were in his office, almost identical to his other, except with different leather-bound books and different portraits hanging on the cream-colored wall. Other than that, there was the desk, sofa, and ceiling-to-floor oak bookshelves.

"When was the last time you went hunting?"

"Uh, last night." Carlisle looked shocked. "And it's not bothering you?"

"Not in the least. I think it's because I didn't like blood when I was human. Actually, I still remember my human life. It's strange."

"That I can give you an answer as to why." Carlisle jumped in, eager to show he knew some of what was happening. "Because you had a connection to your past life through the family, you were more in tune with your life pre-vampire. So, other than that, how do you like everything so far? Enjoying our life?" I nodded enthusiastically.

"I don't know why Edward didn't want this for me. It's been more than great, and I'm not holding anyone back or feeling left out."

"I heard that, Bella!" Edward shouted from downstairs.

"You were meant to." I called down to him. Carlisle had a smile spread wide across his face.

"I could tell from the second I heard about you that you were the one for him. He's never been happier."

"I don't think I have, either. I think I've really found the one. And I love you all, I mean, how could I not? You all love me so much to do all this for me." I was once again glad I didn't have human traits, for I knew I would have been crying by now.

"We love you too, Bella. I just wanted you to know that. But I'm sorry to say this moment is going to have to be cut short." I looked to the door, where he was looking. Alice was standing there as still as a stone. Her face was set in a shocked, worried face.

"They're back, and they brought friends."
