After Lleyna left, things settled down a bit. Or settled down as much as a family like ours could make it.

Peter's Story

Chapter Thirty-Six

"Sari, it's okay, sweetie just talk to me." I whimpered into the wooden door. She had just run inside after attempting to eat animal blood, but now she was ashamed that she hadn't succeeded and was hiding from me in one of the spare bedrooms at the Main House.

"Just let her alone for a minute." Edward said, startling me with his presence out of nowhere. "Her thoughts are confused, but not as confused as they'll be if you keep pestering her."

I looked at him with worry, not quite believing him, but finally backed off when I saw that he was completely serious. He had more experience on this earth than I did, so who was I to argue with him? I was fourteen and he was too old to even mention.

"I heard that." My grandfather replied with a smirk. "And if I'm not mistaken, you're getting pretty old yourself, young man." He teased. "Isn't it your birthday soon?" He asked, even though he knew the answer to his own question.

"Tomorrow." I said with a shrug, not really concerned about turning fifteen except that it meant I was one year closer to being available for Sari like she deserved.

Birthdays had never really meant anything to me since I was a werewolf and would live forever. PJ didn't see the point in parties either so, despite Alice's best intentions, we had yet to attend any of our parties thus far; other than the ones when we were too young to know that we could skip them.

Abby, on the other hand, turned sixteen a week and a half ago and a huge party was thrown for her. Sometimes it pays to be fully human. Though I doubt I would want big parties just becuase my birthdays were numbered.

We were interupted from our "super exciting" conversation by the sound of Jesse yelling.

"Mommy!" Jessica yelled, her feet echoing above our heads as she scampered around the room above us.

"I think I'm going to check on my great-granddaughter," Edward said with a grin, "you want to join me? I think Sophie and Charlie are there."

"I really should wait for Sari..." I said, not sure if I wanted to see Jesse yet.

It had been three months since her birth and I had managed to avoid the baby as much as possible. Only when Sari got caught up with the other girls did we see baby Jesse who was usually kept in her room away from everyone since she was not quite stable yet.

From what I've heard about baby Jesse though, she's been taking to animal blood a lot quicker than Sari has. She craved the normal kind, don't get me wrong, and Abby was protected whenever she wanted to check up on the baby's progress, but since Rose and Emmett were only allowing her to drink deer blood since it was the most readily available Jesse has been "clean" since Lleyna left.

"Sari will be alright without you for a few minutes." Edward said, "I insist that you come with me." He didn't say it in a demanding tone though so the choice was mine.

I could tell that he was reading Sari's thoughts still and noticed she needed a break. I wasn't used to giving her space just yet since we had only known each other for three months and I wanted to know everything about her still, but I knew it was for the best right now.

I shrugged, glancing at the door one last time before following him upstairs. Rose and Emmett's room had been extended to add the spare bedroom next to theirs into their room so Jesse had a nursery while still was watched over twenty-four/seven.

The room was nice though for being created only a week before Jessica's arrival. It was definitely Alice's work though: pink frills everywhere I looked, purple and green bedspread with pink butterflies across it, a toddler bed now in place of the crib Jesse had once slept on, and a closet that looked like it puked up "little girl."

Rose had Jesse in her lap, the little girl's strawberry blonde hair pulled back into two pigtails that her new mother was braiding, and Emmett was standing at the door when we walked in. As predicted, Charlie and Sophia were on the floor at Rose's feet admiring the baby.

Baby wasn't exactly the right word to describe Jesse though. She had formed a pattern of growth that none of us expected. With the other half-vampires, they would grow randomly and mature completely at age seven on the dot. But Jesse seemed to be taking her time.

Every week, she would grow once and then not change an inch the other six days of the week. At twelve weeks old, she looked about twelve months. Carlisle was predicting her completed growing phase to end around four and a half years old. This was just a projected guesstimation based on Jesse's current growth schedule, but that was kind of scary.

Rose and Emmett didn't have any time to waste with their little girl. I can only image what Lleyna will think whenever she shows back up here again, though right now the chances of that happening are very slim. She has yet to even write to any of us since leaving, though Nahuel did send a letter to Sari that informed us that they were okay.

"Mommy," Jesse said, her voice carrying far even though she was such a small creature still. She had just learned how to say a few words, being slightly more advanced in her educational skills than normal human children though not a lot, and 'Mommy' was her favorite much to Rosalie's delight.

"What is it sweetie?" Rose asked, craning her neck to see Jessica more clearly.

"Thirsty." Jesse whined, earning herself a few chuckles from the crowd she seemed to have summoned.

"Em, will you go get her a juice box?" Rosalie asked her husband like any good mother would.

But Jesse shook her head. "Thirsty." She said again, this time more persistantly. She touched her neck slightly to show what she truly meant.

"Oh." was Rose's reply. Though they tried to force Jesse to eat normal food like Nessie and the other half-vampires did, Jesse was not a good sport about it. She preferred blood over anything and we all could see that she wanted human more than animal.

"I'll go get her some." Charlie volunteered, standing up and heading towards the door. "I needed to hunt soon anyways and this way I can just fill a cup for her. I'll be back in no time."

"We really should wine her off of it." Emmett said, starting a huge debate with Edward when he said that. T

here was really no way to avoid Jesse drinking blood completely, since more than half of her body craved it, but to have her not eat any normal food was bad too. Her human side was getting weaker and that was concerning to everyone; and I mean everyone.

I guess now would be a good time to mention that there was talk about the Cullen Clan around the world...

AN: Cliffhanger lol, just 'cause I'm mean. Review and I'll post the next chapter :)
