Nesquick95, to answer your two questions, it was James Victoria and Laurent who had him, along with a few newborns. They hated them because the Cullen family was more powerful then them, and they felt threatened.

APOV
What has been happening since Bella and Edward called the lovely Alice.
"Hurry up! We need to get their surprise ready! Do you think Bella will mind us packing up her clothes? I would hope not. How long of a run is it to Alaska?" Tanya asked frantically, standing in the middle of our foyer, surrounded by both of our families staring at her during the midst of this chaos.
"No, she won't mind, as long as you put all of her lace in a separate suitcase, and that they are folded perfectly. That's what I know she does." I told her, mentally calculating the distance to Alaska, including our private one stone wide bridge through the ocean, and then adding a time. "It should only be about three hours if you run with no stops."
"Thank god Jasper had the idea to send things over gradually so we wouldn't have a time pinch." I heard Esme mutter to Carlisle who was laughing at something Emmett had said.
"Well, I think Bella will be in for a surprise when she comes home to see the house deserted, yet still furnished, with a note taped to the stairs, saying go to Alaska. When she started to tell us about tricking Carlisle into having you all move there, it was hard to hold our little secret in." Carmen commented.
I was about to say something back when I had a vision. Everybody in the room seemed to disappear, and I saw Edward and Bella sitting on a couch together, calling us. I squinted mentally into the vision and saw that it was nearly three in the morning. As soon as I saw everyone else again, I groaned. "Everyone, Bella and Edward will be calling us in ten minutes. We need to get things packing. She will most likely be ending the call in a few hours, so some of you will start your journey with all of Edward and Bella's belongings, and things from the house you know they love…. now." I instructed.
Tanya, Carmen, Esme, and Jasper all left the circle and ran up the stairs, heading for Bella and Edward's room, while Carlisle and Eleazar walked outside to start setting up the wooden stands they made to run over multiple large pieces of furniture at a time.
I stood there with Irina and Rosalie as we stared at the phone, willing it to ring. Just as Rosalie was about to grab the phone, it started to ring loudly. I squealed and raced for the phone, pushing Rosalie over in my excitement. As soon as I picked it up I shouted "Edward and Bella?!"
"Alice!" Bella exclaimed. "Oh my god. I miss you already! What is everyone up to?" she asked, not sounding suspicious at all.
I didn't know how to answer, so I gave the phone to Irina, who was bouncing in her place. "Bella!" Irina shouted excitedly, just like I did. "We miss you too! Everyone is buzzing about the place. Tanya, Carmen, Esme and Jasper are upstairs doing something, and Carlisle and Eleazar are setting up something. I'm not even sure."
We all smiled when we heard Bella's musical laughter. It stopped for a minute, and she asked "What is the new bee doing? He's not in my closet, is he?"
I sighed and shook my head. If only she knew he was at her new house, setting up some furniture, waiting for Carlisle and Eleazar to get there. If my vision is correct, they should be leaving with many pieces of furniture in close to ten minutes.
"I don't know. He's somewhere. I don't really care though. But I doubt he is thickheaded enough to go in your closet. I mean, really." Irina stated, looking at me anxiously.
"What?" I whispered, watching as her eyes darted around the room. She put her hand over the phone and sighed.
"I don't like lying to her. But its worth it, right?" she asked, sounding afraid.
I laughed. "Don't worry. She won't do anything to us. They'll both be ecstatic."
She nodded her head and smiled. "Here's Rosalie. Tanya needs me."
Irina handed the phone to Rosalie and ran upstairs to help pack all of the suitcases. "Bella!" Rosalie squealed. "How's the plane ride? Boring? Can you hear the birds? I wouldn't be able to stand hearing the birds. Like the time I heard the dolphins. Ugh." she rambled into the phone. What is she talking about? I was about to ask when I heard Emmett charging up the basement stairs. Rosalie heard it also and stopped talking to glare at Emmett, who was approaching us with a huge smile on his face.
"Come on. Let me talk to my little sister. What's the worst I could do on a phone?" he asked, and Rose reluctantly handed the phone over to him. "BELLA BEAN!" was the first thing he shouted. "Have you balanced the world with sex yet?" he asked. Rosalie slapped his arm, hard. "OW, Rosie that hurt." He mumbled.
There was a pause on the other side of the phone, before Edward's voice rang through the room. "Emmett, we're on the plane. Just stop it. If you would like, I can arrange with Rosalie to make your…bedroom life hell." Edward threatened into the phone, thoroughly annoyed. Rose grinned at Emmett, making him terrified of that statement. Emmett and Edward continued to talk, and the phone was passed around to anyone in the room. It was ten hours later that Esme, the last person who had talked to her on her way back up to Bella's room to start moving more furniture, hung up.
"Okay, her and Edward are going to be preoccupied, and shouldn't be calling us until they are back on the plane in a week." I stated, running up the stairs and straight down the hallway, smiling when I saw every room on the second floor empty.
"Alright!" said Esme, Tanya and Rose. I guess they're the only ones left in the house right now. Acting as if she could read my mind, Tanya elaborated. "Everyone just started working on the third floor, which we all know has more rooms then the second floor. It's halfway cleared out of everyone's furniture for the new house, as of now." her voice came distinctly from above me.
I nodded my head. "So it's halfway cleared out. When are they going to do the first basement and the main floor, or are they already done?" I asked, walking at a human pace up the stairs.
I heard boxes shifting, and feet hitting the floor from three rooms all side by side, on the right side of the hallway. "Alice, since I know you so well and know that you're about to start complaining," Rose's voice rang through the second door, followed by giggles from Tanya through the third door, "If you want you can just supervise, or tell us when everyone will be coming back, setting up, etcetera."
I stopped and glared at the second door. "I was not about to complain. Now please answer my question." I responded sharply, somewhat offended by her comment.
"Alice," Tanya sang, "Nothing from the main floor that would be obvious was removed. Every large piece of furniture is still down there. All of the books, pictures, and catalogues, however, are already at their new house.," she sounded delighted to be giving me this news, which was odd. Hesitantly, I moved over to the third door and peaked inside.
Tanya was throwing every little insignificant item from Jasper's 'history room' into boxes. "You know, I can understand Edward wanting a music room for his piano to be safely stashed away, but why does Jasper need a room for his stuff from a war that was a century ago?" she asked casually, flipping through a thick book before throwing it in a box also.
"I agree with you completely!" Rose shouted from next door. Rolling my eyes, I plopped down on the floor next to her.
"Jasper thinks they will be safe here. The only person who knows his real reasoning is Edward, but he hasn't said anything about it." I murmured, picking up a lyric sheet that seemed to hold the tune Jasper was always humming. "What is this?" I asked, studying the sheet that had no title.
Tanya glanced over at the page and shrugged. "Beats me. He's your mate, not mine."
I smiled and looked over at her, questions flying through my head. "Speaking of mates.." I started suggestively, watching as her eyes narrowed at me, "How is Thomas?" As soon as those words left my mouth Rosalie was in the room and sitting next to us.
"Yes Tanya, how is Thomas? Are you guys sexually repressed like Alice and Jasper are?" Rose asked, grinning at her.
"That sounded like something Emmett would say." Was all I said in response to her comment. She stuck her tongue out at me, but continued to stare at Tanya expectantly.
"We're in the wait until marriage club. But now all I'm waiting for is for the proposal. It's been what, five years now?" she complained, getting up to throw a whole bookshelf into another large brown box.
Rose laughed and got up from the floor, brushing her skirts off. "I hate to break it to you -well, actually I do enjoy watching you complain - but Edward and Bella have known each other for almost fifty years, and have finally just gotten married." Rose pointed out, still laughing.
I sighed and shook my head. Rosalie hasn't gotten over her hatred of Tanya and of what she said about Edward many years ago. "Well, if it helps, he was looking at you like he was ready to bow down and worship your feet, so the proposal doesn't look to far off in the horizon." I could sympathize with her. I desperately for Jasper to propose to me also, but it will happen when the time is right.
Rose nodded her head and left the room, heading for another room to clean out. Esme was buzzing through a few rooms on the left side of the hallway, stacking a few boxes near the staircase, humming lightly to herself. I smiled and gave Tanya's arm a pat before walking into the last door on the right, the last room to clean out before we moved into the new houses.
I absentmindedly went through the photography room, where Esme had her camera and many, many framed pictures on every surface, taking everything off of the wall and putting them into a huge white crate. My mind was elsewhere, thinking about the beautiful beach Bella and Edward are on right now, flashing to visions I've had of our new houses, and dreading the awful public school we will be sent to, along with the Denali's. Before it even registered to me that I was done, Emmett came in and took the crate with one arm, the camera, camera stand, and the yellow papered rolls in the other. "Thanks." I murmured, walking out of the room and down the staircase behind him.
"Alice?" Carlisle asked as I walked into the loft. Looking towards him so he knew he had my attention, he smiled. "Would you please write the note so we can start furnishing the two houses?"
I smiled and nodded my head, bouncing over to the desk for some stationary and a pen.
~*~
"So why did you do that?" I asked quizzically, looking at Thomas.
"No reason." He stated with a smug smile, watching the private airport lanes, not looking at me.
"You know she'll rip your head off, right?" Emmett asked, bringing up the conversation Thomas had with Bella at the reception.
"No she won't." He said, his smile becoming impossibly more smug.
"So now you're the clairvoyant in this house?" I asked sarcastically, glaring at him while still watching out the glass window for their plane to arrive. "No wonder Bella doesn't like you…" I muttered to myself, walking to the front door, since Bella and Edward will be arriving in ten minutes and we need to be in Alaska before they are. Ignoring the stares I was getting from both the humans and my family, I sank farther into my trench coat and walked over to the red convertible Rose and I share.
"They will be here soon and I believe we have a house to present." I said calmly, knowing full well everyone could here me as I turned the keys that are in the ignition. Everyone else quickly rushed out the doors and hopped into the five convertibles we had parked next to each other, causing quite a scene. Pulling out of the airport with Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett all in the car, I couldn't help but mull over what Thomas did in my brain.
"I still can't believe he will stoop so low, and be all calm and confident about it!" Rosalie shrieked, also thinking about the stunt Thomas plans to pull.
"The guy has nerve, I'll give him that, and it's not like we can go home and rewrite the note. We need to get to Alaska." Jasper agreed from next to me, running his hand through his honey blonde hair.
"Adding in the note in a perfect imitation of Alice's handwriting that she and Edward will be living in a separate house with Thomas doesn't seem like the way to start a relationship." Emmett stated, glancing at the speedometer. Already knowing what he was going to ask I stomped my foot on the gas, planning to cut the five hour car drive in half.
"I know." I murmured, turning on the radio to some classical music to help calm my nerves, and hopefully have the drive pass faster. Everyone quieted down for about an hour of songs, before Rosalie spoke up again.
"I can see why Irina doesn't like him. I wonder how everyone else feels about him." she said thoughtfully. We all nodded our heads in agreement and were silent the rest of the trip, which was successfully made in half the time it should of taken.
"Nice timing." Jasper said softly as we pulled up in front of the house the rest of us will be staying in, which was directly next to Edward and Bella's house on one side, and the Denali's on the other. I smiled at him and hopped up, walking up to the house Esme renovated to look exactly like our home back in Forks.
"I love the porch. I can finally see why Bella loves them so much." Rosalie said, coming up behind me to admire the house also. I nodded my head.
"I know. I love how Esme added the white wooden rockers right under the red roses that are hanging. The red really adds a splash of color to the all white." I said, studying the white wooden outdoor furniture set I pointed out. "They look better now then they did in my vision."
Rosalie laughed and nodded her head. "Doesn't everything look better then they do in your visions?" she asked, walking on to the porch. I followed her, laughing also, and sat down in one of the wooden rockers. She sat down next to me. "I think if I were still human, I would say these are comfortable." she stated, shifting a bit.
"I know, me too." I murmured, and then laughed. Rosalie looked towards me questioningly, waiting for me to explain my outburst. "Wouldn't it be funny when Edward and Bella pull up in there car and see us sitting on the front porch, waiting for them?"
Rosalie laughed also. "Yes, but it would be even better if Emmett squeezed into one of these and started acting like a stern mother." she said, causing memories of Emmett impersonating an old woman to flood my mind. Laughing again I nodded my head and looked into the future to see if Emmett would do it.
"Definitely Alice!" Emmett shouted from in the house, most likely watching the television that Esme installed in the two houses. I could faintly hear animated voices, but didn't say anything to offend Emmett in front of Rose.
We both smiled and leaned back in the chair, closing our eyes and willing the time to pass. While sitting there I got flashes of Bella looking furious while holding the note, flashes of them getting in their car and driving the familiar route to Alaska, flashes of them talking about the honeymoon island, and finally flashes of them pulling into the drive in ten minutes with Bella looking upset. "TEN MINUTES!" I screeched, loud enough for everyone to hear. Somebody fell out of their chair in the Denali house, startled, and everyone poured out of the two houses and on to the front lawn, directly in front of Rose and I.
"Alright Alice. What's the plan?" Irina asked, coming up and sitting on another rocker beside us.
"Um… Well, Emmett, you will be sitting next to me in that rocking chair, acting like a mother to Edward and Bella. Yell at them, scold them, do whatever. And then once they get mad everyone can jump out of the front door and scream 'surprise!', thus confusing them further. You see, Edward and Bella don't believe Thomas's note, not that it's a surprise or anything, and so they are suspicious and Bella is upset. Then we show them the house! Everyone block your minds by bringing up images Edward will not want to see, or count or something!" I exclaimed quickly, smiling at all of them once I was done.
Emmett giddily sat down next to me and made his face look angry, Irina got up and went inside, and everyone else shrugged to each other and made a single file line into the house. As soon as the door banged shut behind them, Emmett started talking. "My, my, my. Where are those two little kids? They better not of given away the lollypops I gave them to the pigeons." Emmett stated randomly, raising the pitch of his voice. We all heard the engine of Bella and Edward's car a couple miles away, and a few excited squeals were let out in the house, followed by Thomas saying "I don't understand why you all are excited to see Isabella. I mean, it's Isabella!" And then there was a snack.
"And furthermore, those children better not have ripped any of the expensive lingerie poor Alice here bought for them. That would be simply unacceptable!" he shouted in the same high pitched voice.
"I know mother Emmett, I know. It would be a darn shame if they committed such a crime." Rosalie stated, agreeing with him. "Do you think they went swimming? I hope they did. If they spent the whole week on bed, well shame on them. The Mediterranean has wonderful climate! They better not have wasted it."
I nodded my head seriously, aware of the fact that they stilled the car to listen to what we were saying. "If I find out they wasted that weather, well, I just might have to drown their goldfish."
"Alice!" Rose screamed, "You are not supposed to tell them we got them goldfish as a wedding present! They'll be pissed!" She shouted, playing along.
"Language Rosalie!" Esme shouted from inside the house.
"Sorry Esme!" she called back, smiling. "But now that the cat is out of the bag-"
"Don't you mean goldfish?" Emmett cut in, still using the high pitched voice. "OI!" I see them in their car watching us! How dare them!" he shouted, Jasper sending out waves of anger out to us. "I plan to tear them limb from limb, then roast weenies over their ashes!"
"We don't even eat weenies Emmett!" Rosalie yelled. "We eat animals!"
"Animals are meat." Emmett pointed out stubbornly, keeping a straight face as their car pulled into the driveway. The wrong driveway. Emmett noticed this also and got up out of the chair, pointing a chubby finger at them as they sat in the parked car in silence. "Why aren't you tan?! God damn it! Why aren't you two tan?" Emmett shouted furiously.
"They must have been in bed the whole time!" Rosalie shouted in a shrill voice. "Now we must drown your goldfish! Happy now? Now that you guys are murderers? You should be ashamed of yourselves!"
"My god Bella! You're as white as a ghost! While you and Edward were making whoopee, did you not stop and think for one second about how I would feel?" I sobbed, placing my head into my hands and wracking my body with sobs. "You are so inconsiderate. I let you not having me as the maid of honor slide, but this is going too far!"
"Alice!" Bella roared, reaching her breaking point. "What are you talking about?! You said you didn't care that Rosalie was my maid of honor! So you lied to my face about it?" she shouted, taking a step towards me.
"Bella, please calm down." Edward murmured, wrapping his arms around her.
"No!" Thomas's voice came from inside. "Let her rip the pixies head off! I want to see if she was serious!" Another loud slap rang through the air as I growled.
"I am not a pixie. If you call me that one more time, I will personally come and rip you apart." I snarled, turning towards the window.
"Plan people!" Garrett said loudly from inside, and everyone came tumbling out the front door, landing on tope of each other.
"SURPRISE!" Everyone shouted, Emmett still using his girl voice.
Edward smirked at us while Bella glared. "So Thomas is seriously living with us?" she asked.
Everyone laughed except for Thomas, who looked horrified at the idea of that happening. "No. actually, you two will be living alone. Over there." I pointed to my right at the house that looked exactly like ours. "Wrong driveway, by the way," I smirked.
"What!?" Bella shrieked. "That's ours!?" When everyone nodded their heads, confused by why she was yelling, Bella let out an ear piercing scream.
"That's worse then the scream Rosalie let out once Edward and Bella got together." Carlisle muttered to Esme, who was standing next to him. Everyone had untangled themselves and were spread out on the porch watching the show. I had no idea what he was talking about, but Esme and Rosalie did.
"I wonder why she is screaming." Esme muttered back to him, causing Jasper to turn to them, grinning.
"Oh, you'll see in a minute. Bella's in shock right now, and Edward is amused with everyone's thoughts." he said.
When he was done talking Bella let out another scream. "OH MY GOD! I love you all soo much! Minus Thomas! Thank you thank you thank you!" she shrieked in happiness. Everyone nodded their heads and started whispering about understanding what Jasper meant.
"I'm offended. Especially after all that time I took to add on to your note." Thomas said sarcastically, being quiet when he noticed Edward's warning glare.
"AAHHHH!" Bella screamed as she ran over to the house and ran inside. Everyone looked at each other and shrugged before walking inside, laughing at Edward as he ran over to stop Bella from destroying anything.
"That went well." Carmen murmured.
Okay. Umm, that's about it.
So tomorrow I'm going to cedar point, so I wont have any time to give previews out to anyone who reviewed, and respond to any questions, but I will be sending previews to anyone who reviews.
So, um, yeah. Review please!
