It occurred to me when I was rereading the first chapter that Nessie's skin may actually be very warm. Idk, I'll stick to the cold thing since I already started, bare with me. But honestly I forget….I'll be rereading Breaking Dawn soon though.

"Mommy?" Raine asked rubbing her eyes as she walked into the kitchen, her voice filled with the fog of sleep. I turned around to look at her, smiling at her, what I knew was an enchanting smile to most.

"Good morning sweetie!" I said pulling her up into my arms, taming her hair a little with my fingers. The smell of bacon, ham, eggs, and pancakes filled the house; Em and I had already cooked enough for three families, and it still wasn't enough for an entire pack of werewolves and a few of their offspring. "Why don't you go watch TV with Lynn and Simon?"

"'Kay!" She squealed as I set her down, I watched her run into the other room; I was beaming from ear to ear.

"How did your family manage to stay under the radar all these years?" Emily asked, she was well aware of the fact that the Cullen's were the moving type of people, mostly because they never aged, and after a certain point, people notice.

"They just made it work I s'pose." I said with a shrug; she stared at me, waiting for more. "Well no one, besides certain members of the tribe, and grandpa, know they're still here. They let trees overgrow to the driveway to their house and have created back roads of their own that lead here. Their house is so deep in the woods they never have to move, they just can't mingle with humans any longer; which is easy since all their food is in the woods anyways."

"Oh okay, I've wondered about that." Emily said before going back to the cooking, I joined her next to the stove. We continued our small talk for several minutes until the boys came running through the door. We smiled when we heard the children start to squeal as the pack played with them before coming into the kitchen, Sam and Jacob both carrying children. I glided to Jacob's side faster than any of them could blink, everyone let out a chuckle; they knew I was showing off.

"What smells so good?" Jacob asked eyeing the food on the stove; I stood on my toes to kiss his warm lips before answering.

"Omelets, bacon, and pancakes." I said smiling at him; I heard a rumble of pleasure from the pack.

"They're just about done." Emily added from where she stood at the stove, I glided across the floor – at a more normal pace – to help her. Just as I picked up a plate to start serving the men, Connor's cries filled the house. "I've got it." Emily said smiling at me graciously. I slipped quickly out of the room and into our bedroom.

Connor lay in a small basinet next to the rocking chair in the bedroom on the south wall, his little legs and arms squirming as he cried. I smiled at him lovingly, placing my hand behind his head for support and picking him up slowly, holding him close to me.

"Hey there baby boy." I said smiling at him, rocking him back and forth in my arms. Waves of guilt hit me again, then even more for feeling guilty in the first place. I was discussed with myself really; here I was, staring down at the most beautiful baby in the world, and all I could think of was how I was betraying my family, which I really wasn't.

I lost track of time as I stood there holding him, I didn't think it'd been very long until Jacob came in looking for me.

"Nessie, are you okay?" He asked, he walked to my side and wrapped his warm arms around me, the hair, which he had grown back out, moved slightly as he came to a stop.

"Yeah I'm fine, I just have to feed him." I said, he looked at me unconvinced; my tone had sounded phony, even to me. I brought my lips to his warm ones to make up for it.

"Okay." He said, still unconvinced, but he turned and left anyway, not before he kissed my forehead though.

I made my way slowly to the rocking chair and settled in gently, cradling him close to my body, sometimes I worried that my skin temperature would hurt him, or Raine, but it didn't seem to bother them at all. Once I had Connor eating I let my mind wander again. Someday this beautiful baby was going to be a wolf just like his daddy, guarding the tribe faithfully from 'the cold ones'. I wondered how Connor would deal with being part vampire and having to fight them, would he really even be a werewolf? Or something completely different? Shivers ran down my spine as I considered that. I ran through the options while Connor finished his meal and fell to sleep in my arms.

I rose from the rocking chair slowly and made my way to the main room, where I laid Connor in his baby swing before joining everyone around the table. Emily and Jacob were the only one's to look up at me, but both of them had the same worried expression on their faces. I looked down at my plate and ate my food without a word; eating time was always quiet when you had a room full of massive men, not to mention werewolves.

Once everyone was done eating Emily and I cleared the dishes while the men went out to the main room to watch some sports, which I detested, despite Jacob's and Emmett's best efforts. Once Emily and I were done cleaning the dishes I went back into the bedroom and picked out a simple outfit; skinny jeans, black high-top converse, and a long t-shirt with a pastel drawing of a sunset over the ocean on it.

Once I was dressed I went out to the main area and picked up Raine.

"Want to go visit grandpa and grandma?" I asked smiling at her. She nodded eagerly as I carried her to her room. I dressed her quickly in a pastel pink t-shirt with little flowers sewn in, and a darker pink corduroy-over-all dress.

"You're leaving?" Jacob asked from behind me in the doorway.

"I wanted to go see my parents for a few minutes and run some errands, we're almost out of food." 'As usual.' I thought to myself.

"Alright." He said, his voice was even more worried than before, I needed to knock it off, and soon. Maybe I had some post-partum thing going on? I couldn't be sure, all I could be sure of was that the worry was bubbling up inside of me stronger and stronger with each passing moment. "Don't be gone too long."

"I won't." I promised, kissing him deeper than I had in days, I'd been too exhausted before. Raine hugged her daddy goodbye and settled back into my arms. I had to put her down though to grab Connor.

I took Connor out to the car and buckled him in, grabbing two hoodies - one for me and one for Raine - on my way out the door. Jacob carried Raine out after me. I pulled her lavender hoodie over her head and buckled her in before pulling on my own.

"I'll see you later." I said kissing Jacob again. He pulled me into his strong, warm arms, not wanting to let go.

"I love you Nessie, so much." He said tucking a loose strand of my hair behind my ear, I grinned from ear to ear, blushing.

"I love you too Jake, always." I said giving him one last peck before climbing into the car, more at ease than before.
