A/N: So what does everyone think about my last chapter? As I said, it would've been up sooner, but I went to my friend's graduation. Sad time actually, I'll his him so much…moving on…I have a joke for you…keep in mind I DID NOT MAKE IT UP! My friend told me it, and I thought it was hysterical!

Three nuns died. Anna, Betty, and Carrie. When they went to be admitted into haven, the gatekeeper said to them, "Before I can let you into heaven, I have to ask you one question. Have any of you ever touched a man's male device?

Anna said, "I only accidentally brushed up against one."

The gatekeeper replied, "okay, just go wash your hand in Holy Water." He then turned to look for Betty, but she was nowhere in sight. He found her gargling with the Holy Water.

"What are you doing?" he asked her, and she replied,

"I just wanted to get this done before Carrie put her ass in it!"

haha! Anyway…

A/N: By popular vote, I decided to update again! YAY FOR ME!!!

Chapter Eighteen:

Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned

EPOV:

Life is a very interesting thing, with many twists and turns. I succeeded in doing the right thing, and now I have myself a gorgeous daughter. Alice and family were flying in earlier, and they rented the other penthouse suite, just next door. Creesia accepted what we were without hesitation, and we all love each other.

Alice, granted, 'saw' what would happen here before we actually came, and she was already plotting a shopping trip for her niece. How sweet.

---Sometime later---

Alice's plane was landing in exactly two and a half minutes. I was prepared for her to barge through the door and demand to meet her niece – who ironically didn't know she existed yet, but whatever – tackling me in the process.

It was actually ten minutes later when what I figured would happen did. "EDWARD! WE'RE HERE!" Alice yelled, barging through the door to our suite.

Bella, who ran into the room and gave Alice a hug, interrupted my answer. "Alice, Creesia's asleep! I finally got her to go to bed. She's so messed up it's not even funny. I don't know what to do! I swear that vampire crushed more than her ribs when he beat up on her."

Just then, Jasper spoke up. "Do you want me to see what I can do?" Bella smiled gratefully.

"Please Jasper. If she wakes up, just call for me. I wanted this visit to be a surprise for her. And Alice? How do you feel like going shopping tomorrow? You too, Rose. I think she needs to be spoiled a bit, she hasn't been at all." I swear I felt Alice literally expand.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes! We'll go tomorrow! By the way Bella, she's fourteen, not ten. I saw it in a vision, and I thought you'd like to know." She trilled, running with Rose to plan.

The next day… Creesia POV…

My Aunt Alice, Aunt Rosalie and Bella were taking me shopping today. I'm pretty excited, but I don't know what to get myself…which would be why I have my favorite (and only) Aunts and my mother with me.

My Aunts would only shop in the most prestigious of stores, so we headed down to the more expensive side of Volterra. My family had gone hunting while I was sleeping, so we were all good there. Finally, my Aunts gestured to the store of their choice, and unleashed me upon it. I found several pairs of jeans I liked. Alice told me to jut get them all, she could be scary when she was hyper, and I definitely was a bit afraid…

I was stunned that they could afford so much stuff, and not even check the price. But when I had asked them about it, they just shrugged it off like it was nothing, which it probably was. We headed into Old Navy, were I got every color tank top they had, as well as every color flip flop they had. If I was laid-back before, now I was on a roll! I soon got the pattern, and was shopping erratically as if I'd been doing it all my life. Even Aunt Rosalie was proud.

After a while, Alice and Bella said they had to go run some errands, and left me with my Aunt Rose.

"Hey Creesia, so you want to go get a manicure and pedicure with me? No offense, you could use it." She said, smiling down at me.

"Sure Aunt Rosalie, I'd love to!" I answered enthusiastically. She giggled once, and then led me towards the Nail Salon.

………………………………………………………….meanwhile……………………………………………….

Alice and Bella were searching for a cell phone for Creesia. They stopped everywhere, and couldn't find anything perfect enough. Just then Bella spotted a cell phone from Verizon she liked, to which Alice agreed. They bought the phone from the store, and brought it to another one to program it for them.

"Ahh, Ms. Alice, nice to see you again. What brings you here today?" The storekeeper asked Alice.

"I have a phone for you today Pierre, I assume you know the drill?" she asked him pointedly. Pierre set the phone up with all of the qualities that the rest of the Cullens had. After he was done, Alice and Bella paid him, and then left.

Alice reached into her purse and found three new credit cards. She turned to Bella, "Bella, I assume you know what these are for?"

Bella replied, "Yes, and thank you Alice. And I'm not going to even ask how you knew, but thanks anyway. Lets go fine them; Rose took them to get a Mani and pedi!

……………………………………………………Back to Creesia POV………………………………………….

No more than three seconds after my fun at the Nail Salon was done, Bella and Alice came to find my Aunt Rose and me.

"Creesia, we have some things for you." They chorused, handing me a black bag. I opened the bag and found a new cell phone, and three new credit cards, all in different names.

"Bella, Alice, what's up with this?" I asked, and all three present member of my family smiled. My Aunt Alice decided to explain.

"Okay, you have three credit cards, one for your account, one for the account you share with your parents, and the last one is lined to the one for emergency's. The cell phone was my idea, since you are a human, and we need to keep in touch with you, we decided to get your own phone. It's a private number, so only those who you choose to know your number will actually know it. Also, if any genius decides to try to trace the phone's location, it comes up in Washington every time, even is that's where you are." She told me, smiling.

"Thanks Aunt Alice. And thank you Bella." I said. I know it's odd I call my mom by her first name, but I can only have one mom, and I did tell Bella this. She told me to call her anything I want, but since we're probably going to go to school together, it would be better if I got used to calling her by her first name.

Alice wasn't done yet. "Creesia, I got this for you too. It's a sterling silver diamond and topaz bracelet. Always wear it, because if anything happens to you, we can always find you. I had Jasper put a tracer in it. If you ever need us, and it's an emergency, press the button and we'll come for you. My darling husband set it up so your location appears on our cell phones, and as you move, it follows you." (A/N: pic in profile!)

Now it was Bella's turn to speak. "Since we are on the topic of phones, I put everyone in your phone book. It has Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, Carlisle, Esme, Edward, and my numbers in it, as well as your adopted aunt and uncles back in La Push in it too. You'll meet them when we get back, however if something happens to us, call them. They'll come help you."

"I looked at all of them in turn, and my eyes finally settled upon my beautiful bracelet around my wrist. Thank-you guys, this day has been amazing!" I told all of them. Then they all gave me a huge hug.

"Rose, Bella, we have some shopping to do. Creesia, why don't you go over to the bookstore and search for some books? We all have our phones, so just call if you need anything." Alice said, exchanging knowing looks with my aunt and mother. Don't forget to sign your credit cards, and above all, be safe and have fun. My mom told me in my thoughts, something she did often.

Always mom, you know that. I replied, knowing she could hear me.

Then they all left me in front of the bookstore. I went in and looked around, searching for about an hour until I found a set of four books I liked. I was still searching when a random guy came up to me.

"Hey beautiful, do you need some help?" I immediately didn't like the way he spoke to me, like he was insinuating something with his words.

"I'm fine, sir. Please excuse me." I said in reply, grabbing the books I wanted off a shelf. He followed me.

"Don't be like that sugar." And then his arms were around my slim waist. I knew I wouldn't be able to grab my phone, and even if I did he'd probably fight me. That left my bracelet. I fingered the clasp and hoped it would work, as he still was touching me.

Within seconds, a voice rang out from behind me. "I'd let go of her if I were you." I didn't recognize that voice, it belonged to a stranger, but a vampiric stranger. The guy was about to drop his arm when Rose, Alice and Bella were around us.

"Let. Go. Of. Her." They said, all at once with acid in their angelic voices. The guy held me tight, and then Bella sank into a crouch, teeth showing and gleaming. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." She said, preparing to pounce. The guy was dumb, but no so dumb he didn't recognize danger. He dropped me and fled.

"Creesia, are you okay? That must've been horrible!" Alice exclaimed.

I spoke then, shaking. "It was, but if you didn't show up, I think that man over there would've helped me. He is a vampire too." I pointed to the man, and he stepped forward.

"I see you know what I am. I see you are like me, well, nearly all of you." He said motioning to me. "I have only one problem with that statement you said. I would have gladly helped a girl as pretty as you, but I am not a man. I'm only 17."

I examined him a bit closer, "I think I know you!"

He stared back at me, "I'd hope you would."
