Hey! Normally this would be in bold but for some reason the bold button is broken so this is just in normal writing. Ok I have a plan. I will try and update every Saturday and I will write the chapters during the week. I can't update during the week because of homework and I need to do my homework before I update. Sorry. I would like to give a shout out to twilightpottergirl1611 who reviewd this story so thank you!

I have tried to make this chapter a bit longer and it was on Microsoft word but I don't know if it will look longer on this but i can tell you that this chapter has 2,692 words of the actual story. This note isn't included.

Ok, could you please reveiw this and tell me what you think?! XD =P =D :P :D XP

Yeah my friends they are so beautiful.

They're my friends.'

'Morning.' I mumbled as I sat down at the table.

I rubbed sleep out of my eyes as I stared groggily at the pattern on the table. I hate mornings! Can't we just skip mornings? It is so unfair that vampires don't have to deal with mornings! I mean they didn't go to sleep and even though they are there in the morning it isn't the same. All this thinking this early was giving me a migraine.

'Morning!' Uncle Em scoffed. 'Ness, its half past twelve. In the afternoon, sleepy head!' He laughed at me and ruffled my hair.

I grumbled at him. He just didn't understand that girls need their sleep. I can get big ugly bags if I don't sleep and mine don't go away even if I hunt. I stretched my arms above my head, for some reason I love the way stretching feels in the morning.

Uncle Em got up and left the room taking his comic book with him. Why does he still read comic books he's like a thousand years old or something!

'Even Carlisle isn't that old sweetie.' Daddy walked in and kissed the top of my head. 'Afternoon. Did you sleep well princess?'

'Great thanks.' I smiled at the memory of my dream, just Jake and I like we always are.

'That's good. Do you want breakfast? I can make you eggs.' He smiled the crooked smile that mum loves so much.

'No thanks. I'm not that hungry and Jake is coming to take me down to La Push. I haven't seen the guys in ages.'

'Ok. Just remember to be safe and make sure Jake doesn't break the speed limit.' I couldn't help but laugh at that; daddy breaks the speed limit on a daily basis! 'I know that that sounds hypocritical but I just want you to be safe.'

'I know.' I got up and walked to his side of the table and hugged him. 'I love you.'

'I love you too.' He gave me one last squeeze. 'You better go get ready. Don't want to keep them waiting.'

I hugged him again and left the room. I saw him walk over to the grand piano and he began to play my lullaby. I smiled and listened to him play for a while. He was amazing. I was taught how to play but I would never be as good as him.

I ran up the stairs. Why does there have to be so many! I reached my bedroom, eventually, and I started to get changed. I pulled off my 'Grumpy but gorgeous' pyjamas and yanked on a pair of jeans, an old green top and my converse. I attempted to tame my hair but it just wouldn't cooperate so I put it into a pony. Sometimes being half vampire has its advantages especially when I am in a hurry. That only took me five minutes, exactly. I was quite pleased with myself since it usually takes me forever to get dressed.

'Hello Jacob.' I heard my daddy say.

I bet it gets annoying for people like Jake and Grandpa Charlie when daddy answers the door before they even knock.

'Hello Eddie.' I could just hear daddy grind his teeth together, he hates it when people call him Eddie so naturally people call him it more.

I grabbed my purse and ran down the many stairs to save Jake from being torn limb from limb.

'Hey!' I ran up to Jake and flung myself at him.

'Someone's hyper!' Jake exclaimed as he caught me.

'Yep!'

'We better get going. Emily's cooking.' Emily is the best cook ever! Well, after Grandma Esme.

We got to Emily and Sam's house and I could smell the food drifting towards us, it was mouth watering. Emily opened the olive coloured front door and the twins ran out. After the Volturi had left Emily found out that she was pregnant and ten months (not nine, the doctors only tell you that it's nine months when it's really ten) later she had the twins.

Chaske and Tinsel ran out and flung themselves at us. Chaske ran at Jacob and Tinsel ran for me. The both were very similar to each other. They both had black hair, eyes so dark they were nearly black (even though their eyes were like that they were full of warmth), they were both quite tall for their age – Chaske was taller – and they were both skinny (not to skinny but just the right weight). They were different in some ways as well like the fact that Tinsel's hair had a wave to it while Chaske's was completely straight, Tinsel was more elegant than Chaske and was more mature.

Tinsel jumped into my arms and wrapped hers around my neck. She hugged me tight and I hugged her back while holding her up.

'Hey there!' I said when she leaned back but kept her arms firmly around my neck.

'Hi, why didn't you come see us sooner? How are you? How are the Cullen's? Something has been going on because Daddy has been really busy but he won't tell me, can you? Do you want to see my report card? It's better than Chas'.' Tinsel spoke in her usual fast paced way.

'First question, a lot has been going on lately, sorry. Second question, I'm good thanks – how are you? Third, the rest of the Cullen's are good I'll tell them you asked. Fourth, It's your Daddy's choice to tell you or not, sorry. Fifth, I would love to see your report card.' I finished with a smile.

She smiled back and leapt down from me and ran back into the house. I could her Jake and Chaske having a similar conversation behind me so I left them to it.

I walked up the porch steps and Emily walked out to hug me. I hugged her back. She was still extremely beautiful even though she had scars marring one side of her face. Poor Sam still feels guilty about that. One day Sam lost control and Emily was just standing to close when he changed into a wolf. She was taller than me but not by much. Emily was slim despite having twins, lucky!

'How are you?' She asked me, she always reminded me of Esme probably because she was like mother wolf.

'I'm good thanks. How are you doing?' I asked.

'Oh I'm fine. The kids drive me crazy but I love them to pieces and wouldn't trade them for the world. Come in.' She started to walk into the house so I followed.

Sam and Emily's house was beautiful. It was very cosy and homely. The living room had two comfortable couches, a wooden table near the back of the room, kids toys were piled in one corner, a TV hung on the wall with a coffee underneath. Pictures lined the walls; there were some that I recognised. Sam and Emily's wedding, the wolf pack, Emily in the hospital holding the twins after she had given birth, Sam sitting with Tinsel reading a book to her and Sam, Emily, Chaske and Tinsel all together sitting on the porch. The pictures were beautiful. Then I noticed another one that made me smile. All of the Cullen's (Daddy, mummy, Uncle Em, Uncle Jas, Aunt Alice, Aunt Rose, Grandma Esme and Grandpa Carlisle) and the wolf pack (Sam, Seth, Paul, Leah, Embry, Jared, Quil, Colin and Brady) then there was Jake in the middle holding a younger me in his arms. This was taken after the Volturi left and we all wore smiles of victory on our faces. One simple picture showed unity, trust, victory, friendship, family and love.

'That is something.' I hadn't noticed Emily come up behind me so I jumped when she spoke.

'Yeah, yeah it is.' I smiled at her and followed her into her kitchen.

The kitchen was spacious and hi-tech. Emily pulled open the oven door and took out a tray of muffins. They smelled absolutely delicious. Emily placed them on the counter to cool down and took a seat at the island. She gestured for me to sit opposite her which I did.

'How are you doing? Truthfully.'

'I don't know. Some days are better than others but I've got Jake and my family around me so like I said some days are better than others.' I smiled at her and she smiled kindly back at me.

She leaned across the table and took my hand in hers. Her hand was warm but not boiling like Jake's. She squeezed it tightly.

'I can't say that I know what you're going through or how you feel but if you ever need someone, outside of the family and Jake, to talk to then you know where I am.' I squeezed her hand back and grinned at her.

'Thank you. It's just that I'm scared. I'm not scared about the Volturi,' my voice faltered there. 'Or that I'm scared for myself. It's the people around me that I worry about. What if the Volturi confront us? What if it turns into a fight? What if someone's hurt? What if someone gets killed? I could never live with myself if something bad happened to someone I love.' It felt good to be voicing my fears instead of keeping them bottled up.

'I can understand where you're coming from. Whenever my Sam goes off on some fight I panic. I worry that he won't come back to me or that he'll be wounded so badly that he'll be paralysed. Ness, that's natural but knows this that no matter what happens it isn't your fault.' She said each word carefully as if she didn't want to upset me. 'No one will blame you if something bad does happen because it won't have been your fault!' She exclaimed trying to make me see sense but it wasn't working.

'But it is my fault! All of this is! If I hadn't been born none of this would be happening! I shouldn't have been born!'

'Don't you dare say that Renessme Carlie Cullen! If you hadn't been born then Jake would be unhappy, if you hadn't been born the wolves and the Cullen's would never have made peace. It is because of you that Jake has found his soul mate; it's because of you that the wolves and vampires made peace! So don't you dare say that you shouldn't have been born!' I was silent.

I was trying to process what she had said. Some of it did make sense. I wasn't going to argue with her anymore, I didn't want to fight. We sat in silence for a few moments trying to recollect our thoughts.

There was a knock on the front door and couple of seconds later Seth walked in closely followed by Kristen. Kristen was Seth's imprint. She was a beautiful girl, the same age as Seth. She was the same height as me and had long straight brown hair. She had pale skin with a hint of pink to it. Of course her skin wasn't as pale as mine or the rest of the vampire's but it was still pale. She had full pink lips and was quite slim.

They had met at the cinema where they literally walked right into one another. Since Seth is so big she fell onto the ground and when Seth bent over to help her up their eyes met and bang, instant imprint.

Seth came over to me and pulled me into a bone crunching hug. He actually picked me up and spun me around the room. When he finally put me down Kristen stepped forwards and gave me a timid hug. Poor girl was nervous around everyone, even Emily, though it was probably because she was new to the whole mythical creatures being real thing.

'Hey Ness! Long time no see.' Seth teased with a big grin on his face.

'Yeah sorry about that. You know I've been busy what with the whole Volturi thing going on.' Seth wrapped his arm around Kristen's shoulders and pulled her into his side, they looked so cute together.

'You're just as bad as Bella; she was always getting in trouble. First James and Victoria then Laurent then Victoria and an army of new born vampire's, then the Volturi.' He rimmed off the amount of times that mum has gotten into trouble with the vampire community.

'Yeah we've started a tradition.' I smiled at him again. 'How are you?' I directed at Kristen.

'I'm good thanks.' She ran her hands through her hair as a sign of nerves.

'Foods ready.' Emily called from behind us.

Tinsel and Chaske ran into the room closely followed by Jake and Sam. Sam looked the same as ever. Tall, muscular, short hair dark eyes and handsome (but not as gorgeous as my Jacob). Jake smiled at me and grabbed my hand. We sat down at the island, Seth next to me, Kristen on his other side and Jacob on my left. Sam, Emily and the twins sat across from us.

'Hello Ness.' Sam said to me.

'Hey Sam.' We didn't really get a chance to say anything else to each other as the twins took up everyone's attention by filling us in on their report cards.

Tinsel got good grades in all of her subjects. Chaske had a good report as well. He got good grades in Art, English and Math, and the best marks in music and great grades in all his other subjects.

Once the twins finished lunch they went into the living room and watched cartoons. Kristen and I helped Emily do the washing up while Jake, Seth and Sam went into the back garden. They were probably talking about wolf things.

We had a system of washing, which was very effective, while we talked. Kristen handed Emily the plates, she washed then handed them to me and I dried.

Emily was talking about the routine she has with the kids while Kristen and I listened. 'I wake them up at 7:30 because if I didn't I would never get them up. Then I make them breakfast, get them ready and drop them off at school.' She finished.

'How do you wake up that early?' I asked as it was a struggle for me to get up at ten.

'When you have kids you'll understand. Your whole sleeping pattern gets messed up.' She laughed.

The guys walked back in and Sam shut the door behind him. Sam walked up to Emily and wrapped his arms around her waist. Seth did the same to Kristen. Jake walked up to me but stopped when my pocket started to ring. I pulled my phone out and pressed the answer button.

'Hello.' I spoke into the receiver.

'Ness you need to get back here.' Daddy spoke on the other side. 'Now!'

'What's wrong?'

'We have a visitor.' The line went dead.
