Iwoke up in my old room. I looked over and Abigal was next to me. I smiled. I got out of bed and covered her up. It was pretty early in the morning. I went down stairs and found Jake asleep on the couch. I guess he slept down here because Abigal slept with me. I went into the kitchen and got a drink.

I was glad to be back. The place was just how I left it. A few things were new but with Jake and Abigal living here there was bound to be changes. I missed it here. I missed my family. My over protective dad, Alice who get over ecited about everything, I even missed the pack.

I grabbed a glass and filled it with water. I hopped up on the counter and took a drink.

"Alex, Alex, Alex. Still the little teenager that sits on the counter top?" Emmett said coming in the back door.

"Nobody told me I couldn't then and nobody told me now so." He laughed and I took nother drink.

"So how was it?" He said getting serious about the conversation.

"What?"

"Being alone. By yourself."

"Not s hard as I thought it would...and...I wasn't alone." I looked down. "You guys will kill me but, Victoria traveled with me. She didn't want anything to do with us when we got involved with Kathrine and stuff. So when we met up she stayed with me."

"I wouldn't tell the other's that. They might just blow up after the hell we went through with her." I looked t him.

"Which is why it stays between you and me."

"What stays between you and me? I don't know what you're talking about Alex." He said walked out of the kitchen smiling.

"That's why your my favorite!" I said laughing.

I hopped off the counter and walked into the living room. Jake started waking up. He sat up and yawned.

"Morning." I said. He looked at me like he was dreaming.

"Alex?"

"Yeah. Remember I camne back last night?"

"Right. That's why I was thinking last night. I guess I thought I was dreaming about you."

"Thinking about what?" I sat next to him.

"I know you just got back, but I was really hoping you, me, Abby could get our own house. Just us three. Everyone can come by whenever they want. I just want us to start our lives togeather."

"We could start looking tomorrow." He looked at me surprised.

"Is that your way of saying yes?" He said laughing.

"Yes. I think it's time we made our own life. Just us three."

So Jake and I talked all morning. How I was doing over the years, how he was, how Abigal was. Then we started talking about things like where we wanted to move, how big did we want the house, all that stuff. Then we heard someone coming down stairs. I looked over and saw Abigal coming down rubbing her eyes.

"Morning Abby." Jake said. She came over and hugged him.

"Morning Daddy." She looked at me and smiled. "Morning Mommy." She said hugging me. I smiled.

"Morning Abigal." Jake got up and went into the kitchen and brought back a sippy cup.

"Here Abby." He gave it to her and she climbed up onto his lap. "Hey Abby?"

"Yeah?" She turned around to look at him.

"Would you like it if you, me, and mommy moved into our own house?"

"We're leavin gramma and grampa?"

"We'll still see them." She looked down for a moment then looked up and shook her head. "Then I guess we're doing this." He looked at me and smiled and I smiled back.

Then of course Emmett came back in and messed everything up.

"Here you go." He said and seet somthing down on the table.

"What is it?" I asked.

"You guys wanted to look for a house right? Here you go." He slid it over and I saw it was a bunch of houses for sale in Forks.

"Thanks."

"No problem. We all knew sooner or later you were going to move out." Then he left. I grab the list and Jake and I started looking for a place of our own.

We looked through the list a bunch of times. We kept coming to the same houses.

"Look at this one. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, it's close to the beach, and look it's a nice size yard. Abby can play no problem." Jake said showing me the house.

"Ok so we're down to that one or the one on the edge of Forks."I said.

"Well Why don't we ask everyone else?"

"Sounds like a good idea."
