So I kind of suck at this whole updating frequently. I'm so so so sorry. However, here the next chapter. I skipped some stuff cuz I did not know how to tie it all up. Once again, all this stuff belongs to Stephenie Meyer. (Except from the stuff that I came up with myself.)

Months later, the disease had finally left us. Books once again replaced the machines that were in Carlisle's office for so long. Embry was still living with us. It seemed we had the two happiest couple in the world under our roof. Carlisle and Emmet had even erected a little hut for the boys to live in, since space was so hard to come by in the house with two full-grown wolves living in it. The girls spent most of their time at the house but Edward and I had insisted that they not spend the night there. Usually the girls went along with the rules, but one night they were far more persistent than usual.

"Mom, why can't I spend the night at Jacob's?" Renesmee asked for the ninetieth time that day over her dinner.

"Because you're only 8!" I exclaimed. My little girl was growing up so fast. I knew marriage to Jacob would be coming soon but I was going to hold on for as long as possible.

"But Mom…" Renesmee whined, her mouth turning down into a pout, "Holly is allowed to visit Embry at night!"

"She is, only because I trust Embry more than I trust Jacob. And because she always checks in with me when she comes home, and she has never spent the night!" I looked over at Holly gently, trying to reassure her with my mind that what she did occasionally was all right, and she needn't feel guilty about it. She has practically become my second daughter these past few months. She was kind, funny, and very beautiful. No wonder Embry had fallen so hard for her.

Renesmee had stomped off to her room and left only 3 of us at the table. Edward got up slowly and smiled at me. "I'll handle the drama queen," he whispered. Holly giggled momentarily before she caught herself, and straightening up in her chair, quickly glanced at me to see if I'd noticed. I smiled back at her and gave her a quick wink.
