Monday morning came and the sun faded, the rain washed down round the cottage. It was time for school, for some of us. The friends from out of town decided to stay a few extra days and Carlisle and Esme put them up in their house. Through the night as the rain fell heavier the wolves made their way into the cottage. Their trust of vampires didn't extend past the Cullen family.

I had a pile of fur curled up in all corners of my house. Jacob and Nessie had fallen asleep curled up on the couch next to the fireplace. Jacob snored loudly in her ear - she didn't seem to mind. We'd all gotten used to it over the years, when he wasn't there snoring, it was hard for Renesmee to get to sleep. She slept with her hand pressed against Jake's cheek, sharing her dream, a trick I'd learned when she was still a baby. They would wake up and talk about the dream they'd had together, the nights when she'd have a nightmare Jacob would be there to rescue her. He was her Edward and I couldn't deny her of that.

"Get up sweetie" I whispered into my daughter's ear, gently I pulled her hand away from Jacob, and he woke startled.

"Man Bells, we were just getting to the good part." he whispered at me and winked.

"Jake stops that!" I swatted at him jokingly "Edward will kill you. Get those thoughts out of your head before he is close enough to hear them. You aren't married yet!"

"Where is dear old dad?"

"You never give it up do you?" The same old Jacob. "He went to get some food for the pack - we didn't have enough to feed you all."

"You don't have to feed them, they probably already ate." He said - I rolled my eyes. Obviously he didn't notice the puppy piles spread throughout the house.

Edward pulled up and I could feel the smile spread across my face, he was dressed all in black and it accented his beauty perfectly. He carried all the bags in one hand and in the other two long white boxes. I didn't get to even say hello before he whisked Jacob away to our bedroom. Only Edward spoke and he did it very quietly.

"Yes I got them."

"No, don't worry about it."

"Don't even think about it - I said don't." There was a pause then a thud, and then Jacob said, "Ow. That hurt."

"It was supposed to." Edward replied and I heard his footsteps as he walked towards the door. I turned away and started taking the groceries out of the bags and started making breakfast. Nessie finally woke when she could smell the eggs cooking. She ate food and drank blood, but eggs she preferred over everything - the only human food I could keep down when I was pregnant with her.

"Smells good!" I heard her say from the other room.

"Does it? To me it smells like garbage."

As if an alarm went off in all of the wolves' heads they started getting up, a few at a time they went to the bathroom and came back out as oversized teenagers. The boys went first, then Leah. When she came out she was in some of my clothes that I had left in the hamper.

"Who took my clothes, again?" She fumed. Apparently there was an on going game of "get Leah naked". They were boys and she was a beautiful girl - made sense. But Leah wasn't the kind to laugh and joke - she was the kind to fight and inflict pain.

She stomped around the boys who all were working so hard not to giggle, each chuckle that made it through their sealed lips made her even angrier.

"That's it!" She said as she ripped off the top of mine she was wearing.

"If this is what you want, it's what you'll get."

Seth slowly backed out of the room and into the kitchen with me and Nessie. I assumed he was getting out of the line of fire and hiding if his sister decided to fully disrobe in the living room.

"Need some help?" He asked, looking like he needed rescuing. "It's bad enough I have to see them undressing her in their minds, I don't want to see it with my own eyes."

"I'm sorry Seth. Can you crack the rest of the eggs?" He needed to be saved, and giving him a job will do it. I think.

"Jacob asked me to be his best man Seth said - taking his mind off the goings on in the living room."I thought he would have asked Edward, but then I realized, he's the father of the bride." I could see the blush rise on Nessie's face. "I can't wait til I imprint on someone." Seth said. At first the wolves thought it was a rare occurrence, but so far all of the wolves had imprinted except for Seth and Leah. Carlisle had been working with Sam trying to find a reason up until Sam had left his pack behind.

"What about your girlfriend Sarah?"

"Naw, she's just for fun. She doesn't even know what I am."

"How do y you do that? Keep it from her like that?"

"Not everyone is as understanding as you were Bella."

I remembered the day that Jacob told me about Edward, I could barely recall the dream I'd had that very night, it still saw it through sleepy human eyes. I guess I took it better than most - I'd spent almost everyday since then with him knowing exactly what he was. The supernatural felt natural to me.

"I guess I never thought of it that way." I finally said to Seth, snapping out of my daydream and getting back to work on breakfast.

Seth tried to grab a piece of bacon from the piled high plate - Nessie smacked his hand away.

"Ouch"

"That's what you get for being greedy." She said. She was her mother's daughter. Edward and I used to sit up at night thinking about Renesmee and guess or point out the parts of her that reminded us of ourselves and each other. She has my human eyes, I called them brown; Edward called them thoughtful. She had Edwards grace and poise, she didn't trip over her feet and spoke as thought she were raised in the early 1900's. Her hair was a beautiful bronze with hints or brown and red, and skin pale as any vampires. By the time she was 7 she had reached full size, a mere 5'4" and built like a cheerleader. She was muscular, yet soft, strong, yet appeared fragile. She was equally Edward and I; she was ours, and there was no denying it.
