This chapter is going to continue with training, but we will also be setting the story up for the fun next chapter. The Cullen Family baseball game.

I would just like to say, how excited I am that I finally got more than 100 reviews. This chapter is for everyone we ever reviewed, thank you so much. I hope you guys like this chapter.

Chapter 18

My life couldn't get much more chaotic. Or at least I hoped it couldn't. With school in the morning and working with my shield during the afternoon, not to mention work, my days were filled.

The only good thing about being so busy, was a good thing but also something I wasn't happy about. I didn't have much time to spend with Anna and Cissy. During classes, Cissy stayed in her carrier, and Anna sat on my lap but I had to work on school. At lunch Rosalie and Alice cared for the girls so I could eat. Anna still joined in during PE so I got to spend an hour with her at least.

But once we get back to the Cullens' house, I went outside to work on my shield. Anna of course followed me but she no longer had to help. I was getting used to my shield, and it was getting easier to use.

After training I had to work though. While I was doing that, someone else had to watch the girls. I felt like I didn't have any time to spend with the girls and that upset me. Except the more time Anna spent with Esme, the more comfortable she would be around her, then Anna and Cissy could stay with her during the day while I went to school.

I wanted to spend time with the girls, but I didn't want them to have to go to school with me. The crazy schedule known as high school wasn't for them, at least not at that age.

Despite getting closer to Esme though, Anna still refused to leave me alone. If we're not in the same room she'd freak out. Not even Rosalie could get her to go to a different room, even if it was in the same building.

I honestly didn't know what to do with her.

Besides Anna though, I was missing important moments in Cissy's life. She was learning how to roll over from her back to her stomach. So far she had been able to roll to her side, but she couldn't go all the way onto her stomach yet.

Rosalie was thrilled with Cissy's improvement though. Every time Cissy rolled from her back to her side Rosalie's smile would widen. Her smile could have lightened an entire town for a night.

Rosalie wasn't the only one that was happy with Cissy's development. Carlisle was keeping track of everything. Every little change was documented. From Carlisle writing it all down, to Emmett recording her doing everything on a video camera.

On a little happier note, I was doing better with my shield. Surprisingly though I was doing better with the trainings where I had to shield someone's thoughts from Edward while they fought. He wasn't too happy about that.

I had come to the conclusion that knowing Kate would shock someone, and knowing I could block her, I had a harder time focusing. When anyone fought with Edward I had no way of knowing how badly they could get hurt, so I was more inclined to protect their thoughts; giving them a fair chance.

For some reason though I could never shield Jasper's thoughts. I think that I was a little scared of giving him a fair shot of fighting Edward. I knew he wouldn't really hurt him, but I was still nervous.

Once we figured out which training was easier for me, the Denalis decided to head home. So that's why we were all outside Wednesday evening.

The Denalis had stayed for over a week. Carmen didn't want to leave Cissy, and Anna. And Eleazar wanted to stay longer, wanting to learn more about me and my kind. Kate was enjoying the chance to work with her powers, and her sisters were glad to spend time with the Cullens. Despite all that though, they were ready to go home.

Kate slung an arm around my shoulder, leading me away from the group.

We stopped beside the river.

"Feel free to call me whenever. I'll come down in a flash." She flashed me a wide grin before continuing. "It was nice to help with someone else's powers, while getting to work with mine too."

I nodded. "I'm going to be busy for a little while, but we should fine sometime to get together."

The grin on her face double in size, and her eyes shined with an intense gratefulness. "I would love that Bella." She took my hands and held them firmly in hers. "Until next time Cousin."

She dashed back to the rest of her family, and I was glad I was alone, and Anna was distracted. I needed a moment to myself.

The Denalis had accepted me so easily. They already felt like I was family.

You are family, silly. You're with Edward now. The little voice in my head was right, and I smiled.

I was so lost in my own thoughts that I hadn't known Edward had come and found me. I jumped when he brushed the back of his hand against my cheek to get my attention.

"I'm sorry." His eyes told me how sorry he was. He hadn't wanted to scare me.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and smiled, putting how much I loved him into that one smile. "You're forgiven."

His eyes darted to my lips, and butterflies took flight in my stomach. If he was going to kiss me he'd have to move quickly, because we could be interrupted at any moment.

I tried to wait patiently but he still hadn't made a move to press his lips to mine. It was disappointing. Then I noticed the calculating look in his eyes, and the nervous twitch to his lips. His uncertainty made sense know. He was gauging whether or not he had enough control to kiss me. My blood did seeing to him after all.

His eyes softened and he leaned his head slowly towards mine.

A commotion from the front of the house made him stop. He stiffened and took a step back, putting distance between us.

I was hurt, but I kept it off my face be reminding myself this would be hard on him. There was no reason to make it any more difficult.

A second later we were joined by the rest of his family and mine. For a fraction of a second I was glad Charlie was at work.

Anna was squirming in Rosalie's arms trying to get to me. I sighed, well below her hearing range and reached out towards her.

Once she was firmly in my arms she pressed a shaking hand to my cheek. I tried to ignore the worried looks from twelve vampires.

Anna had gotten a sudden flash of danger and to my dislike, it was attached to Edward. He had given off a dangerous sensation just a moment before. I didn't have to be a genius to know what had been considered dangerous.

I wanted to scream. Yes, a vampire kissing his singer was dangerous. But just because it was it didn't mean it had to be. I trusted Edward, he could control himself; I was sure of that.

The sensation she felt was generic, Edward was still testing his control, so it couldn't have registered in Anna's powers yet.

Edward reached for Anna's hand and I panicked. If he knew what Anna had felt it would hurt him, and I couldn't let it.

"It was a false alarm." I passed Anna as fast as I could, back to Rosalie.

Edward didn't believe it, in fact none of them did.

I sighed. "You know how Alice's powers are based on decisions?" They nodded so I continued. "Anna's powers will pick up a generic sensation. But because of the person's decisions it can changed."

"So that's what happened?" Alice asked, as if she believed I was lying.

I glared at her. "Yes Alice, that's what happened." Then I got an idea to end this conversation and get them all to believe me. I focused my mental shield around Rosalie, thinking about shielding Edward from her thoughts, and how I didn't want him to be hurt by them.

Edward glared at me. "I can't hear Rose's thoughts anymore."

I didn't dare smile. "Okay Anna, show Rosalie what you felt." It was easy enough for me to keep my shield around Anna too.

Rosalie's eyes narrowed slightly as Anna showed her what she had felt. She glanced at Edward suspiciously before turning to me. I could tell from her look, that she wanted to talk.

I could agree to that.

"Everything's alright." Rosalie told them.

I watched her lips continue to move but I couldn't hear anything. To say I was nervous was an understatement. I hoped she didn't tell them what the feeling was.

The tension relaxed.

"Life here sure isn't boring," Tanya joked. She stepped forward and gave me a gentle hug before saying goodbye.

We all said goodbye to the Denalis, and then they left.

The rest of us went back inside, back to what I guess would be our normal routine.

Carlisle headed to his room to get ready for his shift at the hospital. Jasper and Emmett started playing a video game, forcing Edward to play with them. I had a feeling Rosalie put them up to it because she gave Anna to Alice and moved us to the far side of the living room.

She pulled her phone out of her pocket and started texting me.

I sighed and explained why Anna had gotten the dangerous sensation. By the time I had finished, she was laughing. She left me where I was sitting and went to Anna.

"Anna, would you come upstairs with me?" Rosalie asked the little girl sweetly.

Anna glanced at me before meeting Rosalie's gaze. "Will Auntie Bella come too?"

Rosalie shook her head which Anna soon did too. This didn't deter Rosalie though. "Your Auntie is going to practice her shield."

"But Edward's playing." Anna crossed her arms over her chest.

"Yeah and Jasper and I don't want him to cheat." Emmett replied quickly.

I saw Edward roll his eyes and I couldn't help laughing. I came to his defense. "It's not like he can turn his powers off."

Emmett flashed me a quick grin before turning back to the game. "That's where you come in baby sis."

Alice knelt in front of Anna. "If you come upstairs with Rose and me, I'll take you shopping."

Anna thought about that for a moment. Could her love for shopping really get her to go to a different room than me? She agreed and my mouth dropped open in shock.

The guys broke into laughter, and Alice grinned in triumphant. Rosalie was the only one able to control herself.

Alice and Rosalie took the girls upstairs, and I sat beside Edward, trying to figure out if bribing Anna would backfire on us.

"Alice says to tell you everything will be fine," Jasper said a second later.

I had to say, I liked having a psychic for a friend.

"So are you going to help us out or not?" Emmett asked once he realized his thoughts were not protected from Edward.

"I'm not going to use my powers to help you win a game, that isn't even affected by whether or not Edward can hear your thoughts."

Edward grinned at that, then won the game. In a dash he had his controller put away, and two of us sitting comfortingly on his couch in his room.

Super human speed, that was something I looked forward to; not that I minded being carried by him.

I was content just sitting in Edward's room. In fact I was enjoying just sitting beside him. He just had to ruin my mood.

"You do know I can hear everything my sisters are saying to try to convince Anna I'm not dangerous to you; right?"

I sighed. "I had hoped they'd whisper so you wouldn't hear." I let myself look him in the eye, slightly nervous that he'd be upset that I had tried to hide something from him.

His eyes we're smoldering, but he wasn't angry, in fact he smiled. The next thing I knew, he formed his hand to my cheek and kissed me. It was so fast, I hadn't realized what he had done until he pulled back.

As I blinked back my daze, he gave me my favorite crooked smile. "Sorry," He whispered gently. "I made a quick decision so it wouldn't alert Anna, or Alice." He chuckled shaking his head.

A squeal rang through the house.

"Alice," I groaned, burying my face in Edward's chest. I could already feel the embarrassing blush.

He rubbed my back soothingly. "It's okay, Love"

A knock on the door proved otherwise. I looked up as Alice let herself into the room. She was grinning excitedly.

Edward glared at her. "Can we help you?"

Her grin widened. "Oh, it's the other way around."

Edward and I shared a look before turning curiously to Alice.

"What are you talking about Alice?" I asked.

I never would have thought that she could have smiled any wider, but I was proven wrong. She didn't answer my question, at least I didn't think so until she left and Edward sighed. She must have told him silently.

He shook his head and met my curious gaze. "Don't move."

I froze as best as I could, considering I couldn't become a statue yet.

He pressed his lips lightly to mine.

I wished desperately that I could have controlled my reactions but it was useless. Blood boiled under my skin, burned in my lips. Thankfully he had warned me to stay still, my brain managed to control the urge to wrap my arms around his neck, and pull him closer to me.

The kiss felt like it had lasted longer than it did, but despite being short it was still amazing.

"Are you alright?" He asked the question I had planned to ask him.

I nodded, letting a quick chuckle escape my lips. "I'm fine, but how are you?"

Moving carefully, for reasons unknown to me, he pressed his forehead against mine. "I'm wonderful."

I tried to read any unease in his face but I couldn't see any.

"Come on Love, Jasper's getting some stuff ready outside." With one more chaste kiss, he pulled me off the couch.

We joined Jasper and Emmett outside.

"Okay, we need to make sure nothing bad happens today." Jasper told us sternly, his glare ending at Emmett. "Alice promised Anna, that nothing would happen. If everything goes well this will help Anna let go."

Emmett crossed his arms over his chest. "So what are we going to do?"

Before Jasper could answer, Alice appeared at his side. "We're going to play a game."

I knew the little devious look on Alice's face.

"We're going to have a challenge," She announced, ignoring my glare. "You'll be with me Bella, and the guys will try to find us."

I gave her a disbelieving look, but I didn't get a chance to tell her any of the flaws with her plan.

"They aren't allowed to use their sense of smell and Jasper won't cheat by following what you're feeling." She beamed at her husband.

"Yeah, Jasper knows not to cheat," Emmett teased Edward, who growled back at him.

"I can't turn it off Emmett."

Edward and Emmett flinched slightly, both of them turning back towards the house. I had the feeling Esme must have told them to behave themselves, since they both ended their argument and turned to Alice without another word.

"Okay Alice, feel free to explain."

She turned to me, and the next second she had me in her arms and we were flying through the forest surrounding their house.

"What are you doing?!" I screamed.

She laughed at me. "Don't worry Bella, I won't let anything bad happen."

"You didn't answer my question."

"I told you we're having a challenge. You and I are going to see how long we can hide from the guys. You just have to shield my thoughts from Edward." Her lack of concern over this made me realize just how much trust she had in me and my powers. That, or she saw that this turned out okay.

Either option should have had a positive effect on me.

We raced through the trees, well actually Alice was the one doing all the running, I just enjoyed the ride while trying to force my mental shield around Alice. This strange technique Alice had come up with wasn't really working as well as the other training exercises. Obviously it was working somewhat though because Edward hadn't caught up to us, and seeing as he was the fastest in the family, he should have caught Alice pretty quickly.

A half hour of dodging the guys, turned into an hour. The challenge was actually turning into a pretty fun outing; that was until Alice had a vision and we stopped.

The three guys nearly ran into us. Edward was of course in front, with Jasper behind him and Emmett bringing up the rear.

Edward carefully took me from Alice's arms.

Jasper wrapped his arms protectively around Alice. He glanced from Alice's face to Edward's. "What is she seeing?"

Edward turned his glance to me. I completely forgot my shield.

Alice shook her head to clear it.

"What did you see?" Jasper demanded to know.

"We're going to have some visitors, nomads a group of three." Alice tilted her head to the side, focusing on the future. "They know we're here, but I'm not sure when they will arrive."

Edward gently helped me onto his back. "Until they leave, I'm not letting you out of my sight."

"Yeah, and Rosalie and Esme will be watching the girls like hawks," Emmett added.

Jasper glanced around the area, no doubt searching for danger. "Come on let's go back."

Alice nodded her head in agreement. "That's enough training for tonight. Besides, we don't want to push Anna too far tonight. We don't know how long she'll tolerate Bella being gone before…" She left her comment unfinished. We all had an idea of what Anna would do when her tolerance to this separation ran out.

I sighed, and tightened my hold around Edward's neck, before he sped off towards the house.

Author's note.

I hope you guys liked this chapter. I know it wasn't all that interesting, just a filler chapter. But all stories need some of these chapters. I needed this chapter though because the Denali clan had to go home. That way the baseball scene would be as close to the original story as possible. Obviously there will be some changes though.

I have to ask, are you guys excited for the baseball scene? Are you excited to see what I have in store for James' coven? (Hint, anyone remember who or what, I said would be the next problem?)

Did you like hearing more about Cissy?

And on a serious note, I've been debating about whether or not to make Transitionals one fanfiction, or a series. I'm going through all four of the Twilight books (I don't know what parts of the plot I will keep of the other books but most of the bigger plots will stay. So I thought I would ask what my readers would prefer. Would you rather I just make one giant fanfiction, or should I make a sequel or two or three? I would really like your guys' opinion. I want to know what would be easier for you guys.

Thank you all for reading, I'm glad to see so many people like this story.

Until next time,

Watch out for those pesky Hunters.
