If I could have blushed it would have been at that very moment. I looked around at the group, all of them staring at us in confusion.

"Oh, jeez sorry I guess I should explain," I started in my melodic voice. I nodded my head confirming myself. "Well, I'm Jera, and this is Gabriel. We're from Omaha. Um…well Bethany decided that we should go on uh…" I looked at the human, Bella, if only I could read her mind I would be able to tell if she knew the Cullen's secret. "…diet. She and Anthony went to Alaska, and well Gabriel and I decided to come here."

They all stared at us. I saw Esme, she was thinking then she blinked a couple times as what I said registered. "Oh my, you two live with Bethany and Anthony?" Gabriel and I nodded slowly.

She smiled grandly and turned to Carlisle. "Do you remember them? Last time we visited the Gunner's no one was living with them, but now, I guess..." She raked her mind for a second. "Gabriel and Jera are living with them."

"Yes, yes," Carlisle murmured, recalling now. "I'm so sorry about before it's just I was confused."

I nodded, "I do that to people sometimes."

"Yes," Esme continued, "Well, where are my manners? I'm Esme, this is Carlisle." She looked about there was three couples left to introduce. "They are Jasper and Alice. I believe Alice is the foreseer you were talking about." Esme pointed to the other couple of vampires. "They are Rosalie and Emmet." She saved the mismatched couple for last. "They are Bella and Edward."

"What's up with your eyes?" Jasper inquired, not in a sense of curiosity but more of in a sense of suspicion.

"Um why do my eyes matter?" I asked playing dumb, giving a sideways glance at Bella.

A few of them chuckled quietly. "Dear, she knows," Esme said softly.

Gabriel looked at me confusedly. "Why?" He dared to venture.

"That's not for you…" Edward started.

Emmet interrupted him, "No, no, no I want to here why her eyes are blue."

The "this is where I would blush" part came back into my mind. "Well, we aren't quite sure why, but we have a theory." I paused to see if there was anything someone wanted to say. "My parents were very religious, one of the happy couples who had a baby-boomer. So they always played my Baptism on the TV. And before the priest poured the water on me, I woke up. He saw my eyes and said, 'God bless those beautiful eyes.' then continued to pour Holy Water on me. So we think that when I was bit, God fulfilled the priest's request and kept my eyes blue." I shook my head. "I must sound really dumb, a vampire with religious beliefs."

Carlisle shook his head. "No, it's great. I believe in God still too." I smiled, feeling a bit better and not too stupid.

"Well," Someone ventured, I couldn't remember if she was Rosalie or Alice. "You guys need a room." She turned to Bella. "Do you…want to help Bells?" She turned back to us, "If that's ok with you two."

Gabriel looked at me expectantly, I nodded, guessing that we could use some practice on resisting blood, especially because this human was probably going to be around a lot since she knew the secret.

"Jasper, could you get their bags out of the car?" Of course I thought, this must be Alice. He nodded and dashed out.

Alice bent down and smiled at Gabriel. "Are you excited to be here?" she asked him in a voice you would with a child. Which he was, but it would still piss him off, only I was able to tease him about him, being so "young."

Sure enough Gabriel glared at her, "I can guarantee that I am much older than you," he growled. He turned to me, "Foreseer," he snidely remarked to me. "She couldn't even see us coming." He walked to the door and picked up his bags.

Alice bit her lip. "Don't worry about that," I assured her. "He doesn't always like being that young, especially since it's his two hundredth this year."

She sighed, "Oh…Hey Emmet, can you show…"

"Gabriel."

"…Gabriel around the house?" Alice smiled at me, "Thanks," she mouthed.

"Hey Gabriel, I'm Emmet, you want to see the house?" He said with great enthusiasm. I rolled my eyes, Gabriel is going to like him.

I smiled, "It's all good."

"Good," she sighed. "Jera, right?"

"Yeah, and you're Alice and you are Bella." I turned to the human. "Sorry bout earlier, it has been over a week since the last time I…" I didn't want to finish.

"It's ok," she assured me. "The first time Edward met me, he thought up a storm on ways to kill me." I widened my eyes. They both laughed. "I'm not kidding though."

"Ok! So let me show you where you can 'sleep,'" Alice winked with a laugh. They led me up the stairs, Alice gabbling the whole way. Alice pulled open a door.

The room was beautiful. The walls were painted a light blue, all the furniture was dark stained wood. It had a light airy feeling to it. By looking at the paintings, shells, and rocks, I could tell this was a sea inspired room.

It was gorgeous. Alice smiled, "I knew you would like it…when I saw your eyes I thought of this room." I laughed. That made sense. The blue complimented my eyes nicely.

Bella was standing quietly in the door way. I looked at her had I scared her earlier? "Bella?" I tired.

"What, huh?" Her head snapped up.

I cocked my head, "I really didn't mean to scare you earlier."

"Oh, it's ok. I'm just thinking."

"I wish I knew what though."

"Well, I'll tell you. I was just thinking about how Edward couldn't hear either of you."

"Oh, yeah the mind blocks, very handy."

"The what?" Alice asked.

"Gabriel was able to find a way to block people from reading your thoughts."

"Oh, it does sound handy, especially with Edward. Lucky Bella doesn't need one."

"Yeah, I was meaning to ask, because I couldn't hear her."

"Well we just saved you one question," Bella smiled. She locked eyes with me, held her stare a while and then dropped her head with a sigh.

I walked over to her and put my hand on her shoulder. The sudden cold left her skin with goose bumps. "What's wrong?"

"I'm not sure…I'm just nervous."

"If you want I can leave the room."

Bella shook her head. "No it's not you, it's the future. What it holds, it makes me nervous."

Alice intervened seeing the expression. "Jera, at the end of the school year she's supposed to become one of us."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I feel so awkward just coming here, and being fed all this information."

"You don't know the half of it," Bella muttered.

"Ouch, there's more?" They both nodded. I sighed, Alaska wasn't sounding too bad now that I come here and learn that I'll never be able to catch up with, well for lack of better word, drama.

Suddenly there was a rap on the door frame. It was Edward, he walked in without waiting for an invitation.

"Bella," He said as he dropped my bags. "I'm going to take you home."

"But wait…" Bella began in protest. She didn't get a chance Alice grabbed her arm and dragged her out the door.
