Bella's POV:

I woke a little disoriented and panicky but quickly calmed down when I realized Paul had just moved us all to our king size bed. He was fast asleep, one arm around each boy. I smiled slightly and stood, careful not to disturb my boys and grabbed the digital camera off the bedside table.

I took a quick picture and left the room quietly. I made it downstairs just in time to catch the phone on its first ring.

"Hello?" I put the phone between my chin and shoulder and hit review on the camera.

"Bella, some of Jasper's friends from the south are going to be coming up today. They think they can help find Molly." Esme's calm voice filtered through the line.

I started to tear up as I saw the second to last picture on my camera- Molly wearing a large grin and wearing one of the many outfits Alice dressed her up in.

"Ok," I said trying not to let my voice falter "We'll come by later and meet them."

"That is exactly what I hoped you'd say," Esme said "Please invite the whole pack- we'll have dinner and try to decide what to do next."

"Of course Es," I agreed "I'll call everyone up and we'll be there for let's say three this afternoon?"

"Sounds great Bells," I could hear the small smile in Esme's voice as she said good bye.

I hung up and quickly dialed Angela's number. I repeated the same conversation with her, Emily, Kim and Leah who all promised to make sure the whole pack was there. I made a last minute decision to call Charlie and see if he would come.

He had accepted our supernatural world very well considering everything and had asked Carlisle to turn him simply so he could tear Edward to shreds himself.

"Bella, any news?" Charlie asked and I heard the desperation in his voice. I couldn't help but wonder if that was what I sounded like on a daily basis.

"We think Edward's staying in Seattle with her. Apparently some of Jasper's friends think they can help- we are all meeting at the Cullen's this afternoon to meet them and decide what to do next." I explained.

"I'll be there- do you want me to bring Billy and Sue?" He asked.

I thought for a moment before saying "Ya, that sounds like a good idea dad." We said our goodbyes and I hung up again.

As I put the phone in its charger I felt Paul's hot arms wrap around my waist. "Hey Bells." He breathed against my neck and he sent shivers up and down my spine.

"Paul, I'm so glad you came home." I breathed a sigh and twisted to wrap my arms around his broad chest "I'm sorry about last night but I can't let her stay in his arms- if she is home safe with you I would gladly give myself up for her."

"I know Bells I'm just hoping it doesn't come down to that because I never want to choose between you two." He admitted.

That out of the way we spent the rest of the morning just spending some calm time with the boys once they woke up and I made some cookies for the dinner at the Cullen's.

We got to the Cullen's just before 3 and I was shocked when Kate Denali opened the door.

"Kate!" I shrieked leaping into her outstretched arms "What are you doing here?" After the Denali's had met the twins Kate and I spoke over the phone regularly and she made sure to visit whenever she could and she was frequently accompanied by Eleazer and Carmine.

"We heard about Molly's disappearance and figured a few extra bodies couldn't hurt the search any. Eleazer and Carmine are here as well." She said sweetly.

She took herself out of my embrace passing me onto Carmine who was standing by the door and gave Paul a quick embrace before taking the twins who were excited to see Aunt Kate.

"Finally!" Leah's teasing voice called out from the living room and I followed the commotion to meet them.

We all sat talking for a little while when the shrill shriek of a cell phone rang out across the room.

"I'll get it!" I called bounding over the laps of several individuals.

"Hello?"

"Well, well just the woman I wanted to speak with," A silky, droll voice rang through the line. "You know if you would only have given me what I wanted we wouldn't be in this situation now."

My legs felt like jelly as my voice cracked "Edward?" The room went silent and Paul shot across the room to catch me before I hit the ground.

"Of course it is me love." He lilted "Who else has one of your children? Well I should say our. Molly is our daughter now."

"She's not yours Edward and if you lay a finger on her I will kill you." I swore vehemently.

"Oh she is. Your only hope of keeping her safe is to show up where I tell you to, when I tell you to." He said and I heard Molly's shrill cry in the background "Better go take care of my lovely little girl now. Hope to see you soon love."

I stared at the phone in shock. I didn't have to repeat my conversation because all the wolves and vampires in the room had heard it and passed it on to the imprints and Charlie, Billy and Sue.

"It sounds like we came at a good time." The quick conversations were put to a halt by the sudden arrival of two individuals I didn't recognize. The man was tall, with short, dark hair and pale olive skin surrounding crimson eyes. The woman was beautiful with shoulder length curly blonde hair, snow white skin and crimson eyes.

Paul and the pack looked panicked at the sight of their eyes but I realized they were Jasper's friends and he looked genuinely happy to see them.

"Everyone I would like you to meet Charlotte and Peter." He said smiling as he stood, hugging his friends. Introductions were done quickly and Peter explained that he seemed to just know things and that he knew that the Cullen's would need their help in the near future.

All through dinner I stayed quiet thinking to myself about how to get out of the house and away from everyone without anyone noticing or Alice having a vision. I finally figured out that if I kept changing my mind about what I was doing Alice wouldn't see it.

Eleazer presented me the perfect opportunity to escape when at dessert he commented that he thought the twins may present with powers.

"Would you and Paul mind if I attempted to figure it out?" He asked me courteously and I agreed immediately. Paul looked sort of mind blown at the thought of them having powers and honestly he'd been weirdly quiet since Jasper had introduced Peter and Charlotte. I gave him a kiss and the boys each a kiss and told them to behave for Eleazer and that I was just going to go to the washroom.

I left the room as Eleazer started talking to the group about the boys and bypassed the bathroom heading straight for their garage. I knew Alice would be mad at me but I couldn't think of a faster car as I grabbed the keys to her Porsche from the garage wall.

I don't know how I managed to leave without alerting everyone but I was thankful. Heading towards Seattle I made sure to keep changing my plan and by the time I hit Port Angeles I was less worried about being followed and pulled out the phone Edward had called earlier and dialed his number.

"Where do you want me to meet you?"
