The mall was like nothing Neville or Luna had ever seen. There were so many different stores that had so many different things. It was a bit overwhelming. Neville held on to Rosalie's hand while Luna held on to Bella's. Neville could easily see himself getting lost in a place like this, but Alice obviously knew her way around.
"Lets see where should we start. We need play clothes, clothes for everyday wear, clothes to sleep in, clothes for special occasions, and lots of shoes!" Alice beamed.
They arrived at a big department store that had everything they could possibly need.
"I'll take Neville, Emmett, Jasper, and Edward to look at boy clothes while the rest of you can go with Luna to look at girl clothes," Rosalie said. Neville gave a nervous glance to Luna. He knew that nobody was going to hurt Luna, but he still didn't like be separated from her for too long.
"Its ok Neville. We'll meet back up later. I promise," Luna said sensing Neville's nerves. Neville took a deep breath and nodded. The groups went their separate ways.
Alice could barely contain herself as they reached the girl clothes.
"Now you look like you probably still wear a child's small so we'll try this and this...oh this would really make your eyes pop..." Alice beamed as she grabbed multiple articles of clothing from the clothing racks.
"Calm down Alice. I believe they limit you to how much you can bring in the dressing room," Esme pointed out.
"Well take these and I'll be back with more," Alice said handing over some clothes to Esme.
Esme and Bella led Luna to the dressing room and let Luna go in by herself to try on all of the clothes that Alice picked out. Luna loved everything she tried on. Alice had a very unique style. Luna would love to be able to dress like her.
The last thing that Luna tried on was an aqua and turquoise paisley sundress that was short sleeved and went to her knees. It was so pretty and the material was so soft. Luna had never worn something so pretty. She felt like a young princess going out for some tea at the park. Luna walked out of the dressing room.
"Luna you look beautiful. And I saw this gorgeous necklace in the jewelry department that would go perfect with that dress. Why don't I go grab that and you guys grab the rest of the clothes we picked out and take Luna to check out. She should definitely wear that dress out of here," Alice clapped as she rushed off to get the necklace. Esme and Bella grabbed the rest of the clothes and they went to check out. Luna could not believe how much they got Luna. She ended up with 5 full bags full of new clothes and shoes.
"This really is all too much," Luna said softly.
"Nonsense. You deserve some new clothes," Bella said as the cashier rang up the dress and pulled the tags off of the dress that Luna was wearing.
"Plus we're just getting started. After lunch we are going to get some toys and activities so you have things to do around the house," Alice beamed as she took the necklace she just paid for and put it on Luna. It was simple with an aqua stone in the middle. Luna loved it.
Luna was overwhelmed so she could only imagine how Neville was feeling. Neither of them were used to getting new things.
Once they finished paying for everything they walked over to the food court where Neville was sitting at a table with Rosalie.
"The guys are getting food for Neville and Luna," Rosalie explained. Luna took a seat right next to Neville.
"That is a pretty new jumper Luna," Neville said.
"Thank you Neville," Luna smiled. All of the women vampires tensed up and looked over in the same direction.
"What are they doing here?" Rosalie sneered. Luna and Neville looked over at 4 tan, muscular men. Those men were also looking over at them. Luna noticed that one of them was looking directly at her with wide eyes like he was in a daze. He was the thinnest of the group, but still muscular. Luna felt very nervous for a second before she recognized one from Bella's life story. The one standing to the right of the boy looking at Luna was Jacob Black. That is when it hit Luna that these boys must be the shape shifters that helped fight off the vampire trying to kill Bella before she turned.
The boys whispered to each other before approaching them. The one that Luna recognized as Jacob kneeled down to look and smile at Neville and Luna. The skinnier boy was still looking at Luna was a dazed, but happy look while the other two were glaring at the female vampires.
"Hey guys what are your names?" he asked kindly. Luna remembered from Bella's vision that Jacob was nice, but it still made her nervous how tense everyone else seemed. Neville noticed them too and squeezed Luna's hand for comfort.
"Leave them alone mutt," Rosalie growled.
"What are you guys doing here?" Luna heard Edward say. The boys were back. Jasper was holding too bowls of rice and chicken and they were all glaring at the vampires. Edward looked over at the thinner boy who would not stop looking at Luna and his glare turned to a look of shock.
"Seth you didn't," he mumbled. The boy looked up at Edward and blushed.
Jacob looked over at the Seth boy and glanced at Luna. He gave Luna a small smile.
"Maybe we should talk away from the two newcomers," Jacob said.
Edward looked over at the kids and gave them a reassuring look.
"Agreed. Esme why don't you stay here with Luna and Neville so they can eat while the rest of us talk," Edward said. Esme nodded as the rest got up and walked away to the corner.
"Esme who are those boys?" Neville asked. Esme smiled down at Neville.
"They're shape shifters," Luna said. Esme gave Luna a surprised look.
"How did you know that?" Esme asked.
"That Jacob one was in Bella's memories," Luna explained quietly. Esme nodded.
"Are they dangerous?" Neville asked. Esme gave Neville a comforting smile and ran her fingers threw Neville's hair.
"Don't worry baby. Just eat your lunch and Edward and the rest will sort this out," Esme said. Neville still seemed nervous, but did as he was told.
Luna slowly ate her bland meal, but kept looking back at the group who were speaking quietly, but passionately. The one named Seth kept glancing back at Luna. It made Luna feel funny. Part of her was curious about this boy, part of her was nervous that he seemed so interesting, but mostly something about his glances made her feel...safe.
Uh oh it seems that Seth has imprinted on Luna! This complicates things a little bit. In the next chapter we will hear about the conversation that the shape shifters have with the vampires. Will the vampires tell the shape shifters about Luna and Neville's past? Will the shape shifters be ok with the vampires raising children? Only time will tell.
