Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, if I did why would I be here?

After I was stitched up and I was allowed to clean myself up, I passed out.

When I woke up in the morning, the sun was overhead, it gleaming through the curtains of the hotel room.

I shared a room with Dad, but everyone kept coming and going. I was lent a pair of clothes from one of the Cullen's a pair of sweatpants and a plain purple t-shirt.

Carlisle made me eat and drink water though I was feeling ill.

I was feeling better, so our plane trip back to home was scheduled tomorrow.

"I'm going to get dinner, are you going to be okay here," Dad asked warily?

He didn't leave my sight, even though I reassured him I was fine.

"Go Dad," I grumbled, pulling my knees closer to my chest.

He nodded and kissed me on the head before he left the room.

I sighed looking out at the sun setting outside. I couldn't wrap my head of all what happened. I was here in Italy after being captured by the royal vampires of the world. To top it all of I allowed myself to fall easily in love with Embry.

I shook my head, impossible.

There was a knock at my door and impossibility walked in.

"Hey," Embry smiled brightly at me, grinning from ear to ear.

He never stopped smiling since we left the Volturi's lair.

I frowned at his brightness.

Could I really have made him this happy before if I would have just allowed me to do what was natural? Did I cause him pain because I was being a selfish brat?

He sat down next to me on the bed and I automatically leaned into his warmth.

"Hello," I murmured, watching the television, trying to decipher the Italian.

"Whatcha doing," he bumped his shoulder into mine lightly.

"Nothing," I sighed, looking at him from the corner of my eye.

His smile stayed glued to his face, "I love you."

I laughed a little, "I love you too."

He leaned in a kissed the corner of my mouth sending electricity sparking through my body.

"I love you," he muttered again.

"I love you too," I laughed.

He kissed me on the corner of my mouth again and I could feel his smile.

"I love you."

"Okay," I said nodding my head.

His smile turned into a pout and I turned my head kissing him full on his mouth.

His lips tugged up and I pulled back, turning my attention back to the television.

It was weird how comfortable I was kissing him, like it felt like I have been kissing him for years. I thought it would be awkward knowing that I rejected him before and I refused to not be any more than just friends. It was so easy letting myself fall easily in love with Embry. It felt natural. It wasn't dark and an endless pit, but soaring high above the clouds. I thought about Embry constantly even before, but now I had different thoughts, reminding me that me that a mind reader lives across the hall…

"What is everyone doing," I asked?

"I don't know. Brady and Collin are wandering the streets. Seth and Quil are moping in their rooms. The vamps are doing what vamps do and I don't know what they do. Jake is with Nessie and your dad left to get something to eat."

"After I practically had to shove him out of the room myself," I grumbled at my stubborn dad, almost as stubborn as me.

He sighed, falling back onto the pillows where as I was still balled up in the middle of the bed.

"I can't wait to get out of this hotel room," I said, subconsciously moving my sore back.

"I know, but you're still going to have to rest when we get home."

I looked back and gave him a glare, but he only kept on smiling. Apparently he didn't know me.

"Me relaxing," I raised an eyebrow at him?

He shrugged, "Doctor's orders, Carmella."

I gave him a sarcastic smirk and turned back to the television, "If Dad comes back and sees that your hear, he won't be happy."

"So…"

"Dad's orders," I copied him, smiling at him from over my shoulder.

"Like I'm going to leave you alone," he scoffed.

I rolled my eyes at him, even though I was facing the television.

I squinted my eyes as the Italian woman on screen mouths moved at a rapid pace as she waved her arms about her head, indicating for the man to leave.

I fell back onto the pillows beside Embry as I felt my eyelids get heavy.

My eyes fluttered closed when he pulled me into his chest. I breathed in his smell, forest and coffee, like always.

"Hey," I heard an all too familiar voice shout through the room!

I groaned as I looked up at Collin and Brady as they barged into the room, faces smiling as wide as ever.

They both jumped onto the bed and Brady crammed into the impossible space between Embry and me. My eyes immediately went into slits as I looked at the ginormous boy.

Collin got comfy, with a bag of chips, on the other side of me and I just glared.

"Um, excuse you," I growled at Brady.

"Huh, what do you mean," he asked sweetly?

I didn't answer only glared.

"Come on Carmella," Collin nudged me with his elbow, "We both know we can't leave you alone with Call."

"And why not," I spit through my teeth, really irritated that I was about to go to sleep. All the drugs Carlisle gave me for pain were making me tired.

"It's quite obvious, Carmella," Brady said simply while reaching over me to get some chips out of the bag Collin was holding, "You wouldn't be able to control yourself around him and we all know that Sam doesn't want grandchildren anytime soon-"

"Alright guys," Embry said and I couldn't hear the embarrassment in his voice, "that's enough."

"Thank you," I muttered to him, smiling at him over Brady.

"No problem."

"See right there. You're all mean to us, then your miss sweet to him. That's not right," Collin pointed out, munching on a handful of chips.

"Yes, because your irritated me and I was just about to go to sleep when you all barged in," I grumbled trying to get comfortable again.

"Then go to sleep Carmella," Brady said, scooting down lower against the headboard.

"Who's talking about grandchildren in here?"

I groaned rolling over onto my belly as Quil and Seth came in.

"Well, nice to see you too. Do you remember who saved you," Quil asked, sitting down at the end of the bed with Seth.

"Yes, and I thanked you all before," I mumbled into the pillow.

"Hey, I thought you guys were outside," Seth asked, reaching for chips?

"We were until we heard Call messing with our little Carmella," Collin said.

Embry growled, "I wasn't messing with my Carmella."

I felt my face grow hot as he said I was his, and my heart took off on a high speed chase.

"Thank you, Carmella. You just gave us an example of why we had to barge in on your love fest," Brady laughed.

I grew hotter in embarrassment, thanking that my face was covered up with a pillow.

"I wonder what Alex is doing," Seth sighed dreamily.

Everyone groaned, but Quil since he was feeling the same thing.

"If you two are just going to have this little 'I wonder what my imprint is doing' thing, then you can just leave," Brady said.

"I agree," Collin voiced!

"If none of you are going to shut-up then, then you can just leave," I growled into the light blue pillow.

"Alright, let's let Princess Cranky Butt sleep," Brady said.

I didn't even say anything; just let my heavy eyelids down.

"Wake up, sleepy head," a voice that sounded sweet, broke me from my dreams.

I grumbled incoherent words that I didn't even know what I was trying to say, just making noises. I slowly opened my eyes to see Nessie with a bright smile upon her face.

"Good morning," she sang.

I gave her weak smile, not wanting to be impolite and tried not to show how much I rather her leave me alone and allow me to fall back to sleep.

"We have a lane to catch," she said brightly again.

I nodded my head, slowly pulling myself off the mattress. I was so tired, yet I wanted to get home.

"What time is it," sleep was evident in my voice as I stretched my arms above my head?

"It is exactly eight o'clock in the morning," she said, still a smile on her face.

She may be a bright morning person, but she was half vampire so she had that advantage of not needing as much sleep as me.

I threw my legs over the side of the bed, groaning at all my sore muscles.

"Here take these, Grandpa says so," she handed me two blue pills and a glass of water in the other.

I swallowed the pills one at a time and sucked the water down with it. My parched throat drained all the water out of the cup. I handed her back the empty cup.

She nodded her head and left the room.

The room was empty now except for me, as I looked over at the bed next to me to see that Dad already was up and about.

I rubbed my head as I felt a slight throb in my head, wishing it would go away.

I finally was able to push myself off of the bed and made my way to the bathroom.

I took a shower and brushed my teeth with everything the little vampire, Alice, got me, and headed back into the main room.

I jumped back holding my racing heart as I saw Dad standing by the door, with bags in hand. I thought he was out doing something.

"Ready to go, Angel," he asked giving me a warm smile?

I nodded my head, pulling on, once again, a pair of shoes from one of the Cullen's.

I stood up arching my back to get my muscles moving and followed Dad to the elevator.

I gasped as two hands came over my eyes, but smiled.

"Good morning," a happy voice that I loved whispered into my eyes.

A shiver crept up my spine as I felt his hot breath fall onto my neck and shoulder.

"Morning," I was able to spit out.

He took his hands away and Dad's face was twisted into a snarl. I rolled my eyes, God forbid I ever get married to Embry, and then we would have a real problem.

My face heated up and I shook my head. Mind reader, I reminded myself. Speaking of the devil…

"Well, now come on. I'm not that mean," Edward chuckled walking down the hall, luggage at hand.

I smiled at him, but everyone rolled their eyes at the secret conversation.

It must really suck to have a mind reading father.

"Probably does, but it's a gift and a curse," he closed his eyes after wincing at a memory most likely. He nodded his head.

I rolled my head, turning around to Embry.

"That could get annoying," I mumbled.

He laughed with a few others, nodding their heads in understanding.

"I can read your mind anytime I want to, remember that Call," Dad grumbled.

Embry's russet cheeks tinged pink and I smirked, laying a hand on his extra warm skin.

The elevator beeped and we squished inside the only people missing is some of the Cullen's, Nessie and Jacob.

I didn't want to know.

{

We walked into the airport, everyone glancing our way at the strange, large group.

I shivered a bit as the door swung open and a cool breeze came through. The thin t-shirt and leggings weren't doing any job of keeping me warm.

Embry looked down at me worried, "I told you to wear a coat."

"I said, I'm fine," I mumbled, but he still pulled off the sweatshirt he was wearing, probably just for this purpose.

"Here, wear this," he said, handing me the navy blue sweatshirt that I knew had his last name printed on the back after being on a baseball team.

It was a little tight on him, but I wasn't complaining.

I pulled it over my head, not wanting to have a debate because he would somehow win in the end.

It felt really nice against my bear arms after being on his warmth, plus it was drowned in his scent. I was assaulted with his smell, the forest and coffee.

I was moved through security, the security checking over all of us with suspicious eyes.

I was glad once we got on the plane, sitting next to Embry and Dad was very comforting and I was sure I wasn't going to get cold.

As soon as we were up in the air, I closed my eyes and I was out.

Hello everyone! How are you all? Nessie is fine her and Jacob were having a "reunion". ;) Tell me what you think? I can't read minds like Edward, so you will just have to tell me what you're thinking! I have been having trouble writing, just a lot of stuff going on. Thank you so much for reading!
