Jolene entered the sunroom, still in shock by the blonde women's presence. How long had it been since she'd seen someone from the Cullen coven? How long had it been since they left her? Since he left her? cold and close to death, alone in those woods?

Why would Rosalie risk him finding her? Jolene suddenly felt a righteous anger lick up her spine.

Before Rose could speak Jolene beat her to it.

"Who do you think you are? appearing back in my life?! Don't you know what your presence does to the wolves! And to come into my home with my Family, as if you didn't do anything wrong! I ought to torch your ass! And the only reason why I won't is because I've been told that your helping Victoria and I can only imagine why! I mean you all hate her guts! And another thing! Since when did Edward lead your coven!? I thought Carlisle was the leader! Because the last time I checked it was the leader who made the decisions! Not his spoiled children! So please Tell me Rosalie hale what the hell do you want!?"

Jolene had been so involved in her rant that she hadn't see the smug smile on Rosalie's face as she leaned back in her chair.

"What are you smiling about?" Jolene hissed

Rosalie stood and began to clap.

"I mean…I never thought I see the day where Bella swan stood up for herself and grew a backbone. Its amazing. And look at you, your glowing. You and that wolf hunk must have been going at it like rabbits."

Jolene blushed at the comment and lowered herself into a nearby armchair.

"This is a lovely home you have here Bella."

"it's Jolene, now Rose, Jolene lahote. Bella swan died when you all left."

"Well, I can understand that. we all did leave you in the dirt. While I won't apologize for leaving, I will apologize for how we left. Your absolutely right when you say that Carlisle wasn't leading us. He allowed Edward to do what he wanted how he wanted. Correction he let all of us do what we wanted to do But with Edward he gave the most leniency. You know after your birthday disaster, Edward told us we needed to leave immediately and that you were just a distraction. Esme and Carlisle, of course, swept their baby bird up and were ready to fly away, of course, they didn't think about you. We didn't think about you and hadn't for a long time. it wasn't until Victoria came along that things started to get exciting again. She created a newborn army and started a war. We thought she was dead, mainly because Edward and jasper told us they killed. Of course, years later when Irina Denali came screaming about the redhead, we knew things were not as they seemed. A month or two after we came back to forks, here comes Victoria. Goldeyes and everything. I hated her guts for a while but once she told me about you and showed me your life and the effects of what my bastard brother did to you. I wanted to help especially with you finally living your life to the fullest and staying human. I'm proud of you bell-Jolene, a matter of fact, I envy you. Two kids and one on the way with a community that loves you. Your living the life, I got taken from me too early. Look, I was only here to check in with Paul and to give Victoria an update on you. Just because she can see your memories doesn't mean she wants to miss the real thing. She sent me, however, because it would look too suspicious if she suddenly left. She misses you by the way. It's funny, isn't it? One day she's trying to kill you the next she's trying to protect you. Speaking of protection. You need to be careful. I've been watching your parents and your stepfather. They …they are not well Jolene. Money and greed are all-consuming and your mother is the main influencer. I don't know what Victoria has planned yet; she has to somehow touch Renee before she can figure the rest out. So just be watchful."

Rosalie tilted her head to the side as if she were listening.

"Paul needs me. He's going to send Emily in. Stay well, Bella."

With that said, Rosalie sped out while A sullen-looking Emily entered.

Jolene immediately ambushed the girl. Wrapping her arms around her.

"oh, Emily. I am so sorry. I don't want you to feel like your pregnancy is any less important than mine! and you're not alone! You have me, Paul, Jared, and the town. You're free of Sam and you can do whatever you want. Just…please don't hide. Were a family."

Jolene then pulled back from the smaller women. She had known for a while that Emily was feeling like an outcast. Like she didn't belong. At first, she thought that Emily having her own home would help but in truth, it just made her feel worse. It made her feel lonely and useless and Jolene had been so caught up in her own problems she hadn't taken the time to check on Emily.

"Jolene...you guys don't need me here. Especially with a baby on the way and two little ones. I mean you guys have more than enough to worry about. I'd just be in the way." Emily said as she caressed her stomach.

"Emily young. You are family and nothing can or will stop us from seeing you that way. You are not a burden and you…you are not alone."

"Bu…But I feel so alone Bella!" Emily sobbed as she finally broke down.

Jolene was quick to catch her.

"Why do I feel so empty without him!"

By him she knew she meant sam. Even with the imprint gone, Emily still loved Sam in some way and to finally have to stand on her town to feet was scary. She also no longer had a huge pack of wolves to take care of. in a way, Emily felt a loss. She no longer had a purpose that kept her going. The pack and Sam were all she knew.

"Emily…Come with me. were going to get away for a little while."

With that said, Jolene snuck her new sister out the side door.

Paul heard every word that transpired between his wife and Emily. Its why he didn't stop them when they snuck out the side door. Whatever his wife had planned, he knew it would help her.

At the moment, Paul was in the barn. Jerry, Ms. Caroline, Ms. Li, and Mason Clark. The ones who were most precious to him and his family. He and his wolf both agreed that these people, his people...his pack Could be trusted.

"everyone…thank you for being here" he began.
