I do not own Twilight.

Chapter Nine

"Hey Belle," Emmett said as I came down the stairs of the Cullen home. We've been here for a day now and I've come to like it here. I felt right at home with the Cullen family.

I was coming back from checking on my mate and daughter. Renesmee is looking with Edward at all of his CD's, just some father daughter bonding. I decided not to interfere with the two, and gave them space, by venturing into the Cullen home.

I ended up spending the morning talking to Esme and she introduced me to a bunch of new vampires. I met the Egyptian coven, a few nomads, and the Romanians. They seemed nice, but I didn't quite like the Romanians. They didn't care really for the safety of us, more so they cared about revange against the Volturi. Amun and his mate Kebi from the Egyptian coven weren't the most friendly, but Benjamin and Tia were. Though I did spent most of my time talking to Esme and Carmen.

Right now many of the others were on hunts or they were heading towards Seattle and Port Angeles so they could feed.

"Hey Em," I greet my brother as I went to give him a kiss on the cheek. He was sitting on the living room couch watching ESPN. I go to take a seat by the couch so I could be next to him. I wanted to spend more time with my brother considering the past couple of hours I've been so involved with catching up with Edward.

"So, you guys are going to lay off on sucking face, right?" Emmett asked me. I groan. Emmett decided to stop Edward and I this morning from our early make-out secession. He's got to understand that he may be my big brother, but I'm an adult now. I have been for the past seventy-one years.

"Emmett, you're going to have to accept Edward and my's relationship. We're not going to be able to stop our um..urges," I mutter. If I could, I'd blush.

"I know...and I'm sorry. I get them with Rose too, so I shouldn't be complaining. After all he is a good guy, and my brother," Emmett said, sighing. "Even though he made a mistake, he's been good to you. He protected you when I couldn't."

"You mean with James?" I question him, an eyebrow raised. Emmett nods at me, confirming my question. "Oh, well sometimes Edward thinks otherwise. He thinks he brought it upon me that I almost got hurt," I explained to Emmett softly.

"Well that just means he loves you...a lot. And you love him back," he said to me. "Hey, do you think that this Victoria chick is planning your death?" Emmett asked, curiously.

"I doubt it, she's been MIA for the past sixty-eight years. For all I know she could be dead," I said, shrugging as I leant back in the couch.

"Well if she tries to hurt you or anyone else in this family, I'll kick her ass to the moon and back," Emmett said smugly, the corners of his mouth tugging into a grin.

"Thanks Emmett bear." I chuckle, giving him a playful punch.

"No problem Bella bear," he said. I giggle hearing our childhood nicknames for each other. I go to tug on my charms as I looked at the T.V screen with Emmett.

"Where's Emalie and Rose?" I asked him, noticing my sister in law and niece were gone. I knew Alice and Jasper left to go on a hunt, and also they're trying to maybe get a hold of Charlotte and Peter to help out with the cause. They are two nomadic vampires that use to fight alongside Jasper in the newborn wars. I met them once or twice, and they seem like pretty reliable and good people.

"She's out with her brothers and Seth. Emalie wanted to see them," Emmett said to me as he flipped through the channels.

"Why did Seth um imprint on Emalie?" I asked him, curiously.

"The poor kid didn't have a choice. He was good friends with Rosalie before Emalie was born. I mean, they didn't have romantic feelings for each other, I think he had a major crush on her, but the moment he laid eyes on Emalie he imprinted. He couldn't help it...I've accepted it because I know he's there to protect her. Rosalie's twin brothers and her father know about Emalie, even though they are human. They don't know of vampires, except for one of her brothers, but they do know of shape shifters because of Seth...that and Leah imprinted on Rose's brother, Brandon, so we'll be seeing a lot more of him since he is the only one who can know," Emmett said to me.

"I see," I said, fiddling with the charms on my necklace. "Rose is a great woman, Em, you two really make a great couple." He smiled and went over to give my hair a nice ruffle. I chuckled.

"Thanks Belle, and you do with Edward. As much as I hate his decisions, he's been lost without you. He's been hiding the pain in all these years, and sure it drives us crazy at times, but now that you and Renesmee came into his life, he's never been happier. I'm glad you two are together because as much as you are my sister he is my brother as well. Even though I'd kick his ass for you any day," He said. I smiled at my brother and went to hug him.

"I missed you, dear brother," I mumbled into Emmett's large shoulder.

"Me too Belle, me too." I then went to settle down on the couch with my brother. I let his big arm wrap around my shoulder and rest my head against his. We talked for a bit longer and watched the T.V screen change the different channels and shows. I look to see Christmas specials pop on, and thought of my daughter. I remember Renesmee loved them as a child. She'd love watching them as a family. Maybe this Christmas we could all watch them as a whole family.

I was still trying to catch up with my brother when I heard Alice and Jasper make their way over towards the door. "Hey Bells, Emmett," Jasper said as him and Alice entered the house.

"Hey guys," I said, turning around on the couch to greet them. They go to sit down on the opposite couch. "So what did Charlotte and Peter say?"

"They're coming. They know everything and believe me. Don't worry, I think you guys will have enough witnesses to scare those Volturi," Jasper said. Emmett smirked and went to high five Jasper.

"I like this guy," Emmett said, motioning to Jasper. I chuckled. It's nice seeing my two brothers bond like this. Alice giggled as she leaned into Jasper.

"Where's Renesmee?" Alice asked me. I pointed towards the direction of upstairs.

"With Edward, they're bonding," I said, smiling. She smiled as well.

"Only a few more days till Christmas," Alice sighed as her eyes wandered to the Christmas special Emmett had on. "I wonder how this Christmas will go."

"Hopefully this Christmas won't be our last," Emmett remarked under his breath. "With the Volturi, we don't know what could happen. I feel bad about all these people risking their lives, but I mean they're just witnesses. It's not their faults. If anything happens it could come down to Rose and I," Emmett said to us grimly. I frowned at my brother. I won't let the Volturi get to him, Rose, Emalie, or the others.

They're my family, and family protects one another.

"Emmett don't say stuff like that. Don't blame yourself for creating a beautiful little daughter, and if they can't see that Emalie is harmless then screw them. I mean for god's sake she looks like you and Rose and she has the most obvious signs that she isn't an immortal child. They can't be stupid enough not to believe us," I said. He sighed as he leaned his head against the couch and groaned.

I heard a laugh and turned to my head to see Edward talking with Renesmee. Her face showed nothing, but pure happiness, and so did his. I watched as they both came down the stairs to see us.

"Hey Mom, Uncle Emmett, Uncle Jazz, Aunt Alice," Renesmee addressed everyone as she sat down right next to me. Edward followed as we all gathered around the living room. I smiled at the two of them.

"So, I take it you two are getting along?" I said to my daughter and mate. They both nodded.

"Yeah," Renesmee answered, grinning.

"Good," I said, smiling as I pulled Renesmee to my side and kissed her forehead.

We were all relaxing and hanging out until we heard Emalie run into the home with Rosalie following her. My nose twitched smelling the stench of dog? I frowned with the rest of my coven, only to have Emmett burst out laughing.

"That's Seth. He's here too," Emmett said. "Don't worry, as much has I hate that he imprinted on my daughter, he's a really nice kid. One of the nicest of the pack." I nodded as I looked at Edward warily.

"He's a good kid," Edward told me, reassuringly. "In fact, him and a few others protected us when they wanted to kill Rose when she was pregnant with Emalie."

"Why would they want to do that?" Renesmee asked, her eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

"They though Emalie was a threat," Edward whispered quickly to her. "Because she was um hurting Rose when she was carrying her."

"Oh," Renesmee mumbled.

Renesmee doesn't like the fact that she hurt me during my pregnancy. She feels awful for almost killing me, but I always tell her she was worth the fight. After all it wasn't her fault, the poor thing was just a baby. She didn't know the difference between right or wrong at the time.

"Don't worry about it. Everything's good now," Emmett said as he got up form the couch to greet his little girl. I smiled as I watched Emalie run into Emmett's arms and he swung her around. I was kind of nervous meeting a wolf. I've never met one before.

I saw Rosalie enter behind Emmett with a new boy next to her.

"Bella, this is Seth," Emmett introduced me to a tall muscular boy. He had to be a good six feet and had shaggy black hair and brown eyes. He had a rustic Native American skin tone and he was just reeking with the dog smell. I tried not to breathe as the foul stench hit my nose like a ton of bricks. Rosalie just chuckled as she brought over Seth. I looked to see Renesmee, Alice, and Jasper all make the same face.

"Hi I'm Seth," the boy introduced himself. He chuckled noticing how we reacted, "It's okay. You guys aren't the first vampires to make that face around a wolf. I know we stink, it's fine." Emalie giggled as she looked at Seth.

"You don't stink, Sethy," she said. "I kind of like it." Emmett groaned while Seth sent a sheepish smile at him before looking down at Emalie.

"Where is Jake?" Emalie asked Seth. "I miss him. He needs to play with us soon!"

"He had to go tend some matters for our pack. Don't worry he'll be around soon," Seth told her reassuringly that this 'Jake' will come by soon.

Seth then turned to us with a bright smile. The kid didn't seem bad, and he seemed to have be wrapped around Emalie's little finger. Then again, how can you not be charmed by this little girl?

"Emmy has told me a lot about you guys, so you're her aunts, uncle, and cousin?" Set asked me, motioning to my coven. I nodded.

"Yeah, I was Emmett's little sister in his human life," I explained to him. "And Edward's mate when I was human and hence my daughter."

"Wait she didn't mention Edward was with you..." Seth frowned and then turned to Edward. "This is the girl that made you a ghost?" he nodded softly as his face turned into a grimace. I go to squeeze his hand gently and he smiled softly. I looked to see Alice frown as she looked at Seth.

"Why can't I see you?" she questioned, frowning. Seth raised his eyebrow while Jasper just merely chuckled at his expression.

"She's physic," he filled in for him before turning to Alice. "What do you mean you can't see him?"

"It's blocked like Renesmee!" Alice cried out frustrated as she rubbed her temples and sat down on the nearest couch.

"Well, she isn't normally like this," I told Seth. He nodded, but smirked a little.

Seth stayed for a bit more and he seemed like a real nice kid. I learned more about his friendship with Rosalie before she met Emmett. He did admit he had a small crush on her, but he didn't judge her for dating a vampire unlike the others. He explained that when Rose got pregnant with Emalie, him and a few others; Jake, Leah, Quil, and Embry, all separated from their original pack to protect the Cullen family. Mostly he was doing it to protect his friend, his sister Leah did it because Rosalie was her imprint's sister, Jake and the others all did it because they wanted to help, even though they aren't the biggest fans of vampires.

I could see why Emmett didn't mind Seth too much, even though he imprinted on his baby girl, Seth had a sense of humor and a big heart.

The whole time Seth talked to us Renesmee sat next to Edward. The way she acts around him is like she's known her father her entire life. Right now she was leaning against his shoulder, falling asleep, while I hugged to his arm. Emalie was now asleep on Rosalie's lap as she stroked her hair while Emmett had an arm wrapped around Rose's shoulder, Alice was curled into Jasper's side, and Esme and Carlisle were in an about this scene was all too weird. Here we were, happy and enjoying ourselves when we could end up dead in a few weeks time. I guess it was with the fact we were all finally reunited. We were whole, and we're stronger when we're whole.

~oOo~

It has been a week since the day we arrived in Forks. Renesmee has become closer to her father and to her uncle. Emalie absolutely idolizes Renesmee, and she just adores Emalie. It was truly a beautiful bond the two shared. I have come to love the Cullen family like my own. Esme and Carlisle were like my parents, Rosalie was like another sister to me, and Emalie was like a second daughter.

I hope that when this is all over we could maybe all be a family together.

Right now we were all on a hunt, except for Esme and Carlisle. They stayed behind to be with the others. I was with Edward and Renesmee as I sniffed out a dog smell. I shrugged, thinking it was one of the wolves.

Emalie, Rose, and Emmett went one way, Alice and Jasper the other, while the three of us went together towards a pack of nearby deer.

"We're going to try to catch some of the faster ones," Renesmee said to me as she motioned to her and Edward.

"You mind if we go ahead?" Edward asked me. I nod.

"It's okay. I'll be right over here!" I said to them as I eyed my prey. I go to give Edward a nice kiss before I headed towards my meal. It was an older deer, but it still smelt good. When Edward and Renesmee left the area I flung myself at it and sunk my sharp teeth into it's flesh. It's warm blood slushed down my throat and soon I was satisfied.

As I finished cleaning up the carcass of the deer, I heard rustling in the brushes to see a wolf pop out. I was a bit startled, but took a closer look at him. He seemed friendly. I wonder if he's one of Seth's friends. I look around, seeing if Renesmee or Edward were near. I think the two were chasing after a deer headed this way.

The wolf looked at me with curiosity.

"Don't worry. I'm not here to harm you. I come in peace?" I told him calmly, putting my hands up slightly. I didn't know who this wolf could be. I wasn't taking any chances, especially with the Volturi around.

"Mom!" Renesmee yelled as she came running to me with Edward not too far behind her. "I just found out where I got the speedy genes from," She teased as she motioned to Edward. I chuckled.

"That's great baby. I'm glad you two are having a bond. At least there is no hate involved," I said to her.

"Me too," Renesmee said with a smile. Edward did too, but he then noticed the wolf.

"Jacob?" He questioned, his eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

The wolf nodded at my husband, but that's when Renesmee turned her head.

Renesmee's eyes made contact with the large animal. I saw Edward's eyes widen as Jacob then fell to the ground, he transformed into a human right before my eyes. Renesmee's eyes haven't left his. I noticed the others came rushing over to see what was going on.

"What just happened?" I asked. I looked to see Edward growl.

"Edward?"

"Jacob imprinted. On Renesmee."
