I woke up early and went to Abigal's room to check on her. She was sitting down playing with a stuffed teady bear. When she saw me she stood up and held onto the side of the crib.

"Morning Abby." I said walking over to her. "Hungry?" I picked her up and carried her down stairs to the kitchen. I put her in her high chairs and then went to get her some breakfast.

"Morning Al." Alice said walking into the kitchen. "Morning Abbs." She said walking past Abby.

"Morning Alice." I gave Abigal her food.

"So did you sleep well?"

"Ya I did." I sat down at the counter.

"How was the trip?"

"Fine. Abby loved the ocean, the sand, the sun, everything really." We both laughed.

"Were you excited to see Renee?"

"Ya. I mean I've talked on the phone with her but it was the first time I really met her."

"Did Jake have fun? Or was he just not into it?"

"Ya. He had fun down there." I looked down.

"What's wrong?" I looked up at her.

"Jake still wants us to find our own place. Just me, him, and Abby."

"Well that's normal. You're 18 it makes sense for you to want to leave. Do you?"

"Ya eventually. I don't want to right now because I feel like I just now, like got my life togeather. I don't want to rush into things anymore. I mean I feel like while I was growing up...all I really wanted to do was run away...Now I just want to live with my family, the way I should of."

"Alex all that stuff that happened is fine now. I mean we're all alive right? Plus we have Abby." Her and I were silent for a moment. "But...what are you going to do when we all have to leave?"

"Well, then we'll go with Jake's plan and move in togeather. I don't plan on staying here forever though. Only like many a few months or something."

"Well I guess it's nice having you and Abby around. Plus she's so cute." Alice went and sat on the counter. "And it's never boring." I looked over saw Abigal was done but she made a mess everywhere. I let out a sigh.

"Abigal." I put her bowl in the sink and cleaned her off. Then I picked her up. "Alice could you hold her for a second?"

"Sure." Alice held her while I cleaned off the highchair. Then I took her back. "Can't she walk yet?"

"Not all babies are like me Alice. She's working on it though. We've been so buesy we haven't really had a chance to help her learn."

"Is she talking?"

"Little bit. She knows words but she doesn't talk much." Alice and I walked into Abigal's room and got her dressed. We put her in some light jeans and a orange shirt.

"Ok tomarrow I get to dress her." Alice said.

"Alice. She's one. She doesn't need all the glamore clothes yet. Wait until she's like four maybe five."

"But that's too far away." Alice whined. I laughed.

"Alice. She's not a Barbie doll. Give it a rest."

"Fine."

We went down stairs and I put on Abigal's shows. She just sat there on the floor watching it. After I got her a bottle of juice I sat on the counch with Alice and we talked.

"So everything with you and Jacob are alright?" Alice asked.

"Ya you've seen us."

"That's not what I meant."

"Then what are you-" Then I realized what she meant. "Alice! One that's none of your buisness and two, we are perfectly fine and that's all you get."

"So when you guys go to bed you don't-"

"Alice! Abby's right there."

"You're avoiding the question." She said with a large smile. I was getting a little annoyed.

"Alice for over the past year he and I have been raising a child. Got it? We've been busey plus he still has the pack. When he gets home at night he's tired."

"So that's a no?"

"I'm about to beat you." We both started laughing.

"Hey don't be like that. I'm just teasing."

"I know."

"So what do you want to do today?"

"I was going to take Abby out, just the two of us. Sorry."

"Fine then I'll just go join Jasper and them out hunting."

"You go do that." Then she left. "Well Abby, you want to go see Daddy and Uncle Sam?" She turned around and shook her head. "Abby tell me. Use your words." She shook her head no and I laughed. "Well sorry than we're not going unless you teel me."

"I wanna see daddy." She said smiling. I lifted her up.

"She speaks!" We started laughing. "Now let's get your shoes on." I helped her with shoes and then I grabbed her jacket and everything else I needed. I picked up and went to the car. I put her in her car seat and left for Sam and Emily's.

On the way I called Emily to see if the guys were there yet.

"Hello?"

"Hey Em it's Alex are the guys there yet?"

"Nope not for about another ten minutes."

"Great. Abby and I are on our way."

"Alright see you guys later."

"Bye."

"Bye." I hung up the phone and kept driving.

I pulled up and parked the car where the guys wouldn't see it. Then I grabbed Abby and everything and went to the door where Emily was waiting for us.

"Hey Alex. Hey Abby."

"Hey Emily. Say hi Abby." She just waved. Emily laughed.

"Can't se talk?"

"She can she just, won't." We walked inside. "She only talked this morning because I said if she didn't we weren't coming." Emily laughed.

"I got an idea. Abby." She looked at Emily. "If you start using your words than when you come over here you can have some ice cream. Deal?"

"Ya." She said and clapped her hands. We both laughed.

"Well that worked." I said.

"Ok Abby want some now?"

"Ya."

"Alright what do you say?"

"Please."

"You got it."

"Not alot though she just ate." I said as Emily went in the kitchen.

"Alright." Then I heard the guys coming in.

"Well look who it is." Jared said. Embry sat next to me.

"Now what is a pretty girl like you sitting all alone here for? Surly your boyfriend should be sitting with you." He said playing around.

"Move it Embry or I'll have to flip you out of the chair." Jacob said behind him. Embry got up and Jacob sat down next to me and Abby. "Hey guys."

"Daddy!" Abigal leaded towards him and I handed her to him.

"Hey there little one." Then Emily came out with Abigal's ice cream.

"There you go."

"You get ice cream?" Jacob said acting surpirised. Abigal took a bite and shook her head. "No fair."

"Ya that is no fair." Quil said. "I get some too right Emily?"

"Nope just Abigal." Emily said.

"Aw why just her?"

"Because she talked." I said.

"Abby's talking? I thought she wouldn't talk." Jacob said."

"Well now if she talks she get ice cream when she comes over."

"Ah." So we all talked while Abigal sat on Jacob's lap and ate her ice cream. We talked about a lot of things. The whole time though I tryed so hard not to make eye contact with anyone.
