Author's Notes: Well, I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving (those who live outside of Canada – hope y'all had a happy weekend). I'm writing this on Monday, October 12, 2009 – just so you know. It's Thanksgiving Day. The smell of turkey is running through the house and "Forrest Gump" is on the living room TV with the family sitting around it. No joke. Thank you for the reviews and everything else. Read, review, enjoy. Oh, and I know this chapter is short and late, but, I figure, I uploaded two one-shots and an extra chapter in the past week. Now, you may read, review, enjoy.

"Come on, everyone!" called Molly. "You should all be ready by now! Louis, that's the wrong foot, dear. Put the shoe on the other one. Lucy, please stop hitting Roxanne. Roxanne, please go find your brother, would you, dear? Bill, Fleur, Charlie, Percy, Audrey, George, Angelina, Ron, Hermione, Harry and Ginny, get down here, now!"

The second generation Weasleys were gathering up their children's belongings. Today they were going to Charlie's house. Soon, feet could be heard above and people started thundering down the stairs, laden with bags.

"We're coming, Mum," said Bill, setting down a heavy bag. "No need to act like we're still children."

"I know, dear, but we need to be on our way! ... Edward, dear, we're ready!"

"I know, Molly, I know," retorted Edward, stepping into the entry way, me and Emmett following behind.

"So, how is this going to work out?" asked Ron. "We can't all fit in one car."

As it turns out, they didn't all fit in one car. I drove Rose, Hugo, James, Albus and Lily. Emmett took Teddy, Victoire, Dominique, Molly II and Lucy. Alice filled her car with Fred, Roxanne, Louis, George and Angelina. Rosalie strapped Percy, Audrey, Bill, Fleur and Charlie. Jasper took Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Harry, while Edward offered Molly and Arthur a ride.

We all showed up at Charlie's, unloaded the kids and waited for them to get settled in. Soon, Renesmee and Jake came over. We made sure the kids were comfortable and they all knew Charlie's name (this was quite easy was they all have an uncle named Charlie). I tried to help Charlie with the names, but he got too confused. I was thinking of putting name tags on all the kids, but I ruled that out soon enough – it would just be too weird.

Once the kids were settled in, we tried leaving ... but, you know, children like to cry when their parents leave them ... so we stayed a little longer and waited for them to stop crying. The mothers and fathers and grandmother and grandfather hugged and kissed the kids and whispered loving words in their tiny ears.

Edward and I had already told Nessie about the situation. She agreed to stay and help. She didn't seem to mind, I guess.

As if magic flew through the room (which it quite possible had), most of the kids fell asleep and we were able to leave. Audrey stayed with them, as was already planned.

When we got back home, we decided Edward and I should go hunting.

We run into the depths of the forest. I followed him and sometimes he would follow me. We found many animals. Edward decided we ought to eat more than normal because he didn't know when we'd be able to get blood again.

"Well ... what do you think, Bella?" asked Edward, smiling down eat me while I took the creatures blood.

I finished slurping the rich, red fluid and licked my fingers.

"I think ... I think if someone told me – I dunno – ten years ago, when I was eleven, that in ten years I'd be hunting for blood with my vampire husband while helping save a wizard from some other wizards, I wouldn't believe them."

Edward laughed and nodded his head. "I believe that."

"It's just crazy! Vampires – wizards – no one even believes people like us are alive! They think we're in old stories and fairytales and fables! Of course, I've gotten over the whole vampire thing, but ... wizards and magic ... that's still so weird!"

"I know – now, eat your bear."

"Yes, sir," I replied, giving a mock salute.

As night fell and everyone went to bed, I stood by the front window and watched as Jacob, Sam, Seth, Leah and the other wolves prowled around the house. They would weave through the trees and stand still for a moment before continuing on their way.

I was scared.

I didn't know what would happen.

I didn't know when they would come.

I was ready to fight.

And ready to win.
