AficionadoNYC: I think that would have been hilarious, I wish I would have thought about it. That does suck, though. Someday though, someday.
P.S. Alexanzondria: They're going to be amazing parents and would love both. I can see them with both of them so easily.
Adby1: I'm glad! I love Emily and all the tribe members.
BlueRose921: Thank you! I hope you enjoy the update.
Gossamermouse101: Yes, I love it!
Mrs. Stilinski Clearwater: That's certainly something to think about! I hope what Dr. Young says doesn't bother you too much though!
Amber walked inside her home, stretching as she did. She loved being at the Cullens, especially since almost all her family lived there. However, this was the house she finished growing up in. She loved and missed it. She walked into the living room and paused. Sue, Harry and Bill were there. They were talking quietly until they saw her. She heard everything with her vampire hearing, but she didn't act like she did.
Harry and Billy were trying to explain some questions that Charlie had about Jacob. Sue was also helping as she was more normal than the other two native men. Amber felt better because this meant Charlie was actively asking about Jacob, he wasn't hiding behind 'need to know'.
Charlie turned to her and smiled, patting the seat next to him on the couch. She smiled and sat down, rubbing Billy's knee as he was parked beside the couch, on the other end. "Hey guys..."
Charlie hugged her gently, "It's good to see you home, kiddo."
Amber smiled and nodded, patting his knee. "Yeah. I just felt a little too claustrophobic at the Cullens right now..." She looked at Charlie and smiled, "What's going on with this little meeting?"
Harry smiled at her, "Charlie's managed to get over his shock."
Billy chuckled, "We're trying to explain our history, and what happened to Jacob."
Charlie looked at her, raising an eyebrow. "You've known for a long time, huh."
Amber nodded, wringing her hands. "Yeah. Ever since Sam changed. I connected the dots... after some more things were revealed to me."
Charlie sighed, shaking his head. "I can't believe I didn't notice anything was going on around here."
Amber found that statement highly ironic as his daughters were both changed under his own nose. Amber was a witch and Bella just turned into a vampire. "Well, humans tend to be oblivious. And we tend to hide out secrets very well."
Sue coughed and stood up, "On that cue, I think we'll go check on dinner." She motioned to Billy and Harry, escaping to the kitchen. Harry smiled at the two as he pushed Billy into the kitchen, quickly escaping as well.
Charlie turned to her, "Our secrets? You have one too?!"
Amber shrunk under his gaze a little, seeing how angry he was. "Yes..." She sat up though, clearing her throat. "I've always wanted to tell you but I was so afraid... but you've handled the others so well."
Charlie grumbled, "Can you actually tell me?"
Amber smiled and nodded. "I can tell mine, yeah. There's not a law against it."
Charlie frowned, "There's a law against me knowing Bella's secret?"
Amber nodded. "Think of it as... a set of rules their community follows. If someone breaks a rule, the governing rulers will remove them. It's dangerous, that's why they're tiptoeing around this."
Charlie nodded slowly, starting to get another headache. "Uh ha... Alright. So, are you a wolf or something else?" He mumbled slowly, praying she wasn't.
Amber shook her head, "No. I'm like seventy percent human." She smiled a little at him. "I'm just more special."
Charlie raised an eyebrow at her. "Thirty percent special?"
Amber shrugged, "Well, I'm really special but I'm still human on the base level. I didn't change, I was born this way."
Charlie frowned at her, "Just spit it out, Amber. You're just confusing me."
Amber held out her hand, fire surrounding her hand in a millisecond. "I'm a witch."
Charlie stared at her hand before reaching out. He felt the heat flickering at his hand, pulling it back. "That's... that's real." He looked up at her, shocked. "This isn't some magic trick?"
Amber shook her head. "No. It's not. I'm a real witch, on my mom's side." She held out her hand again, this time she lifted Charlie into the air. She let him hover there, stepping closer to him. "My powers kicked in after I turned sixteen. If you ever noticed some strange occurrences around me, it was usually my powers acting out."
Charlie gaped down at his daughter, knowing there was no way she could be lifting him up like this any other way. It had to be her, somehow. "You're... You're a witch?"
Amber sat him down, smoothing his flannel down. "Yeah." She looked up at him, frowning softly. "Do you hate me for it?"
Charlie looked her over before pulling her into a tight hug. "Of course not, kiddo... You're my daughter. I love you. I could never hate you, even if you are a witch." He looked back at her and his expression turned extremely dark. "Your aunts... they. They're witches too, aren't they?"
Amber nodded, glaring off into the distance. "They tracked me down when they found out about my powers. They knocked you out and hurt Bella so they could kidnap me. They brainwashed me, trained me to use my powers so I could be their weapon. I found out they faked my own death and left them to stay with you and Bella, even though I couldn't remember anything after middle school." She took in a deep breath, her hands shaking. "Eventually Haven, a witch from my aunt's coven, helped me remember..." She looked up at him, "This is partly why the others didn't want me to tell you. Jasper knew how pissed I am and know you would be just as pissed."
Charlie looked livid, his hands clenched by his sides. "Those bitches." He looked down at her, gently cupping her face. "Is that why you didn't want to press charges?"
Amber nodded, sighing softly. "Yeah. They wouldn't let anything stick to them anyways. There are so many spells and magic we can do. Only I could really hurt them, and one day I will hurt them. There's just been a lot of things going on recently."
Charlie hugged her tightly. "I want you to kick their asses for me, kiddo." He pulled back and frowned at her. "You mentioned you can do lots of stuff?"
Amber smiled, walking into the kitchen with him. "Oh yeah."
Harry looked up from frying another fish, grinning at Charlie. "You remember when I had the heart attack? She saved me. She healed me, the doctors didn't think I would have made it before."
Sue nodded, rubbing Harry's shoulder. "She was so tore up that day from Alice showing up, but she was determined to save Harry."
Billy looked up at Charlie, sipping at a beer while pushed up against the table. "She kept an eye on Jacob and Bella while they were going through their issues together. She's been a major help to everyone around here. She's a very special woman, Charlie."
Charlie smiled softly as he looked down at Amber, his eyes tearing up. "I've always known that, kiddo."
Amber smiled, letting her tears fall as she hugged her father tightly. "I love you."

Amber smiled as she watched Jasper sitting between her and Bella. Bella was so happy recently that she was a giant magnet to Jasper. Amber was finally relaxed. Everyone was happy. Charlie knew her secret and was partly involved with the Cullen's secrets. Charlie came over a lot, sometimes with Billy or Sue. No one was trying to kill them, though Aro still wants to see vampire Bella. She and Jasper were figuring out if they were healthy enough to have a child together.
She still hadn't told anyone, besides Carlisle, that they were considering it. She felt like it was a personal thing so far. Though she had pulled Edward away from the others, threatening him with a fate worse than death if he so much as mentioned a word. She could have put up blocks on Jasper and Carlisle but she didn't like dealing with mind blocks. It still bothered her too much and was afraid she would damage something else.
Amber hummed as she was reading a book, her knees tucked up onto Jasper's lap. She was using her powers to levitate her book, reading it quietly. Jasper was reading his own book, listening to the room around him.
Bella was watching her daughter while talking quietly to Edward. Renesmee was in Rosalie's lap for the moment, happily watching her aunt. Emmett was beside Rosalie, playing a game on the T.V. Quietly.
Carlisle was at work but Esme was in the kitchen, humming happily as she fixed lunch. She was also working on a desert for the others since Amber didn't like sweets that much.
Alice was looking through a magazine, running her fingers through Haven's hair as she did. Haven was sitting by her feet, lazily playing with a strand of water. She caught Renesmee staring and grinned, forming shapes out of the water.
Everyone was comfortable and happy. Until Renesmee reached up to touch Rose's cheek. Rosalie looked down at her, shaking her head. "I don't know, honey."
Renesmee turned to face Bella. "Momma, where is Grandpa?"
Everyone paused in shock. Haven even let the water flow back into the bowl by her in shock, almost dropping it on the carpet. Those were Renesmee's first words but they weren't like a child's first words. It was a full, coherent sentence. She spoke each word correctly and easily. Bella looked frozen, and a little scared but she was smiling through it.
Amber smiled at her niece, leaning forward. "Grandpa is at work right now, Sweetie. He said he's going to stop by after his shift. So probably in an hour or so."
Renesmee hummed softly before turning back to Haven, motioning up in the air again. Haven smiled and let the water flow around Renesmee, forming more shapes to keep her entertained.
Amber put her book down, peering around her mate to see Bella seemed a bit more relaxed. "You okay, sis?"
Bella looked at her, looking a bit better but the slight terror was still in her eyes. "Yeah... That was just sudden... And she spoke so easily."
Amber nodded, "She's amazing, Bella."
Bella nodded, whispering as she listened to Renesmee laugh again. "Yeah. but she's growing so fast..."
Amber looked down at Renesmee, feeling a little bit of the panic Bella felt. "We don't know if that's going to happen or not." Amber looked down when her phone buzzed in her pocket. She recognized the number as Dr. Young's office. She quickly held Jasper's hand, running upstairs to his room. She activated the privacy spell as she answered the phone.
Jasper was nervously watching her as he hovered beside her. "It's Doctor Young?"
Amber nodded as she greeted the woman. "Hello Dr. Young... No, you didn't interrupt anything." She looked up at Jasper. "We can come in tomorrow at ten... Yeah, that's fine. Oh..."
Jasper picked up on Amber's mood dropping sharply. He winced slightly, hearing that Dr. Young say there was something wrong with their results. He gently wrapped his arms around Amber, using his powers to calm her down a little.
Amber appreciated his help, able to keep talking smoothly. "Thank you, Dr. Young. We'll see you tomorrow. Bye." She hung up and tossed her phone on the bed, leaning back into him. She sighed softly. "Your levels were fine. Mine were down just enough to cause some issues. She said they're easy to deal with, but we'll discuss the options tomorrow."
Jasper gently tilted her head up, smiling softly. "I'm sure she would have mentioned if there was anything seriously affecting your health, Darlin'. It's going to be okay."
Amber smiled softly back at him. "There's no rush either. We both have forever."
Jasper smiled and kissed her softly, wrapping his arms around her. "It would be nice to have our first child after we're married."
Amber nodded happily before grinning. "We need to get started on our wedding again!"
Jasper chuckled, feeling her excitement spreading to him as well. "Of course, Darlin'!"
Amber grinned and tackled him on the bed, cuddling with him. "We should have it in the south, on a beautiful plantation."
Jasper laughed softly, holding her close. "What about the sun?"
Amber nuzzled him softly. "I already have a spell marked. I can put the spell on a piece of jewelry and when you wear it, you won't sparkle in the sun."
Jasper smiled as he kissed her face all over, laughing softly. "You just think of everything, huh?"
Amber laughed and pushed his face away gently. "Of course, I'm just as excited to be Mrs. Whitlock as you are to be my husband. Besides, we'll have a bunch of vampire guests."
Jasper chuckled as he kissed her hand, lacing their fingers together. "I can tell." He winked at her, grinning. "Then we can have our own honeymoon."
Amber chuckled and threw a pillow at his face gently, "Getting a bit ahead of yourself there, cowboy."
Jasper caught the pillow, tossing it back on the bed. He then slowly began approaching Amber, smirking at her. "Maybe."
Amber laughed as she was trapped against the wall, Jasper pressing himself against her. "Maybe my ass."
Jasper picked her up easily with one hand, his other hand gently squeezing her ass. "You haven't seen anything yet, Darlin'."
Amber felt her heart racing in her chest, her cheeks getting warm from blushing so much. She couldn't help how her body reacted to him. Jasper was sexy as hell without even trying, and he was trying now. "Then I'm going to be in a heaven because damn Jasper." She leaned forward, kissing him as she wrapped her legs around him. "You're already amazing."
Jasper kissed her back, moving down her jaw and to her neck. He sucked on the scarred flesh, groaning when he heard Amber moan in response. "You're the amazing one." He picked her up even higher so her legs were on his shoulders, smirking up at her. "I promise."
{X}
Amber opened her eyes and sighed softly, looking up at the ceiling of Jasper's room. She had to go visit Dr. Young today. She wasn't really dreading the visit but she wasn't that excited. Sure, she wanted children, badly. But she was nervous Dr. Young would say something was wrong and just hid it well the day before. Amber heard the door open and a small smile grew on her face. Jasper entered the room, shutting the door behind him. He had a tray in one hand, a book in his other hand. She could just make out the book was about planning a wedding.
Jasper smiled and she up so he could place the tray on her lap. "Good morning, Darlin'." He leaned forward and kissed her forehead, smiling down at her. "Did you sleep well?"
Amber breathed in the smell of eggs, bacon, toast, fruit and juice. She nodded as she smiled up at him, loving how the light was shining through the window, hitting his face just right. It glittered in the sunlight, casting the other half of his face in shadow. It was like the two halves of his personality. She loved it. "I did." She ate a piece of bacon, motioning to his book curiously.
Jasper picked up on her emotions, sitting beside her. "You said you wanted to start planning, so I wanted to brush up on today's customs." He smiled at her, his eyes seeming to twinkle in the light. "Weddings aren't what they used to be, ma'am."
Amber felt her heart clench in her chest with how much she loved the man before her. "You're just perfect, you know?" She leaned forward and kissed him, making sure that the tray wasn't knocked over.
Jasper kissed her back, gently caressing her cheek. "I'm not perfect. We're just perfect for each other, Darlin'."
Amber hummed against his lips, pulling back reluctantly as her stomach growled. She stuck out her tongue at Jasper when he chuckled softly. "Shush."
{X}
Amber laid her book down, sighing as she couldn't focus on the words even if she wanted too. She had only been waiting for three minutes but it felt like an eternity to her. She didn't want Jasper to come with her this time. She wanted to talk to Dr. Young about the specifics, and she just needed some alone time. She loved him but she needed some time to herself, away from the Cullen home for a bit.
Dr. Young walked in after knocking, smiling at Amber. "Good morning, Mrs. Whitlock!" She winked at her as she used her future name. "How are you feeling today?"
Amber shook her hand as she watched Dr. Young sit across from her. "Good, just nervous." She smiled softly at her. "How are you?"
Dr. Young smiled at her, nodding. "I'm doing pretty well." She opened her file, scanning it before looking back up at Amber. "Now, as I said on the phone, a couple of your levels were just low enough for me to pick up on." She looked up at her, smiling softly. "Are you wanting to try and conceive now?"
Amber shook her head softly, "No. Jasper and I already agreed we want to try after we get married this summer."
Dr. Young nodded, marking that in the chart. "That sounds very sweet." She winked up at her, "These things are very easy to take care of, Amber. Just stay healthy and have fun planning your wedding!" She grinned at her, standing up. "Unless you have any other questions?"
Amber shook her head, hugging the doctor. "No, thank you, Dr. Young." She smiled at her, stepping back. "I'll be sure to send you an invite to the wedding."
Dr. Young smiled, holding the door open for her as they exited. "I'd love to go, Amber." She waved to her as they parted way, "Have a nice day!"
{X}
Amber jumped up as Alice barged into her room at Charlie's, a large grin on her face. "Amber! I saw your wedding! I know where you're going to have it!" Dani barked at the two women before she jumped off the bed, running around their feet.
Haven peeked in her room, laughing at Amber's shocked expression. "She rushed right over." She then bent down, petting Dani. "I've missed you, cutie! Gosh, you've gotten bigger. You've been lazy, huh?"
Alice grinned, sitting down on Amber's bed, pulling Haven down with her. "Of course, It's your wedding!" She opened her bag and brought out her laptop. She waited impatiently as the thing brought up the page she wanted. "Here it is!"
Amber smiled as Dani jumped on her bed and curled up in her lap, petting the dog as she leaned closer. "Oak Alley Plantation." She looked at the pictures and gasped. She saw the actual Oak Alley and was mesmerized by the trees. "It's beautiful..."
Alice smirked at her. "I know. You're going to love it."
Amber smiled as she continued looking through the pictures, "It's so beautiful... and so full of history."
Haven grinned and leaned back on the bed, reaching out to pet Dani happily. "Alice already called and booked the date for your wedding. It's going to be June thirtieth. We thought you would like it to be on your engagement date, but that was on a Wednesday, the thirtieth is on a Saturday."
Amber smiled at them happily, feeling excited. "You actually booked it already?"
Alice nodded, "You have to call way in advance for this place, plus I got all the extras to make it the best." She winked at her happily. "Though Jasper's planning the honeymoon himself. I just told him what city you're going to be in when getting married."
Amber looked down at her phone, laughing softly at the text she got from Jasper.
Jasper: Don't let Alice go too overboard? We did say we wanted this simple. Unless you want extravagant?
Amber: I do want it simple, but I'm sure Alice knows this. I love you.
Jasper: I love you too, Darlin'.
Amber looked up and laughed again seeing that Alice had read Jasper's text. "You do have a tendency for the extreme."
Alice just huffed slightly, "I got it all out of my system with Bella's wedding." She winked over towards Haven, knowing their wedding would beat everyone's. "I've already seen your wedding and I promise no one goes overboard. It's very beautiful and very you."
Amber smiled as she looked at a picture of Oak Alley, feeling the connection to the ancient trees already. "I can't wait."
{X}
Amber laid out on her bed, looking through some magazines Alice gave her. Haven was against the headboard, looking through another while she was petting Dani. Alice was lying beside Amber, looking at dresses online.
Haven leaned forward, showing the two other women a picture of a dress she found. "Amber?"
Amber sat up, looking at the page. The dress was a white, floor-length gown. The bodice was sweetheart with lace over the whole dress. The lace spread out to make cap sleeves and up to form a high collar around the model's neck. The lace itself was floral, creating a beautiful border on the bottom. It was tight fitting until the knees where it flared out slightly. There was a jeweled, stain belt that fell on the natural waist line. The dress had a low back, the lace covering the gap there as well. There was also a slight train, just enough to add to the look. It was a gorgeous dress; one Amber instantly fell in love with. "Oh, my god..."
Alice picked up the magazine, looking it over before grinning. "There's a shop in Seattle." She sat up, grinning at the girls. "We're going shopping!"
Amber laughed softly before looking at the picture, imagining herself in the dress. "We're going dress shopping."
Haven smiled, hugging Amber around the shoulders. "You need to pick your wedding colors so we can pick out the bridal party's outfits."
Amber sighed as she laid back on her bed, flipping through more pages while she listened to Alice booking an appointment. "Well..." She thought about what Jasper would like as well. "White, green and brown." She looked over at Haven. "Simple and rustic with it revolving around nature. Oak Alley is beautiful on its own, so we don't need to do too much."
Haven hummed as she thought about it. "We could just bring some flowers and lanterns to light the way." She grinned at her. "It seems fitting for you both."
Anna smiled, nodding as she looked down at the magazines. She then sat up, looking at the two. "I haven't even thought about the wedding party."
Alice laughed softly, seeing the panic in her friend's face. "It's alright, Anna. We still have months."
Amber nodded her head slowly. "Yeah." She smiled up at Alice, "Would you be my maid of honor as well, Alice?"
Alice grinned, hugging Amber happily. "Of course." She knew she was going to be but let Amber ask anyways. She then winked at Haven, "Which means you'll be on Jasper's side."
Haven chuckled, "That's alright. I don't have to wear a dress." She then hugged her mate, kissing her cheek. "And you can't force me into heels." She then laughed when Alice grumbled at her.
Amber smiled and hugged them both, "Thanks guys. I love you both."
{X}
Amber jumped down from her Jeep but her feet didn't even touch the ground. Jasper was holding her the next second, grinning down at her. "Well hello to you too, Jasper."
Jasper gently kissed her, shutting the car door behind her. "Hello, Darlin'." He kissed her forehead. "You're exhausted. Long day?"
Amber nodded, curling up in his arms. "Yeah. Alice got so excited she pretty much has a whole album full of wedding stuff now."
Jasper smiled, carrying her to their room. "I figured she would." He sat her down on the bed, gently brushing her hair back from her face. "Bubble bath?"
Amber hummed as she leaned into the cool touch. "Yes please." She laid back on the bed while Jasper walked into the bathroom connected to the room. "You're perfect."
Jasper laughed in the bathroom, running the water for her. "I just like spoiling you." He added the pine scented bath bomb she liked, some unscented bubble soap and mixed it in.
Amber stripped herself, walking into the bathroom. "Which isn't fair, you don't let me spoil you."
Jasper turned to her, ignoring how much he wanted her, gently tilting her head up. "You spoil me by loving me, Amber."
Amber smiled and leaned up, kissing him softly. "Well I do love you."
Jasper's lip pulled up at the ends, smirking down at her. "I love you too, Darlin'." He waited until she got in the water, getting in behind her. He gently began washing her, kissing the side of her face as he did. He grinned to himself, seeing she was fully relaxed now. "Feel better?"
Amber nodded her head softly, leaning back against him and using him as a pillow. "Mhmm..."
Jasper chuckled softly, gently ghosting his fingers over her ribs. "Good."
Amber squirmed before laughing softly, looking up at him. "Thank you."
Jasper gently kissed her, "You're welcome, Darlin'." He hugged her close, nuzzling her neck gently. "Now. You need to get some rest."
Amber gasped as he stood up with her in his arms before pouting at him. "I can walk on my own."
Jasper grinned down at her, wrapping her in her bath robe. "I know." He ignored her protests as he laid her down on the bed. He dried off, putting some underwear on before cuddling with her. "But I like you being in my arms."
Amber playfully flicked his shoulder. "I know." She curled up to him, laying her head on his chest. "Good night, Jasper..."
Jasper gently stroked her hair, listening to her heart and breathing rates slowing down. "Good night, Darlin'…"
