In addition the Christmas tree has silver, gold, green and red glass balls with etched snowflakes on them and silver and gold lights on the tree and all of the gifts are under the tree too. The Cullen's are looking out at the glass wall at the snow cover backyard, but on the other hand Andrea is still sound asleep on her bed in her bedroom.

In addition Esme, Carlisle, Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper and Alice are already dressed for the day. Jasper, Edward, Emmett and Carlisle are wearing pairs of black dress pants, emerald green long sleeved dress shirts, black dress socks and pairs of black dress shoes. Esme, Rosalie and Alice are all wearing emerald green dresses and emerald green stiletto pumps and Alice and Rosalie stiletto has open toes, but Esme has closed toes. Rosalie dress is a taffeta dress that has cap sleeves with a deep V-neckline on the front and on the skirt of the dress is a front panel with a frill and there are velvet peacock prints on top of the taffeta of the dress. Rosalie dress comes to just below the knees in length and Rosalie pulled her hair up into a ponytail and the hair is curled too. Alice dress is a silk empire waist cocktail dress that is just above the knees in length and has a chiffon embellished sweetheart neckline with a ruched bodice and she used a curling iron to curl the ends of her hair. Esme is wearing a taffeta sleeveless dress with a zipper closure on the back and the dress has a sweetheart neckline with a low v back and is a classic 1950's look with a full skirt that is knee length. Esme hair is down and she has curled the hair in loose wave curls. Jasper who has his arms around Alice's waist feels Alice pull away from him and drops his arms. Alice then starts to skip toward the doorway to the dinning room and Esme looks toward Alice, as she starts to talk.

"Alice's where are you going?"

"To go wake up Andrea, so we can get the day start!"

"Alice let her sleep a little longer, because Andrea has not been sleep well that last few nights."

"I cannot let her sleep in any longer because I saw Embry and his mom and the two of them are in his moms' car and right now Mrs. Call is currently driving Embry over here and that means Andrea needs to get up and ready."

"Alice's what is Embry wearing?"

"Do not worry Rose, he is wearing a pair of black dress pants, long sleeved silver dress shirt and black dress shoes like you ask him to wear."

"Good, he will match Andrea in the pictures that Jasper will be taking of them when the two of them are opening gifts."

Carlisle clear his throat, Alice stop skipping then turns and looks at Carlisle who has his arms warp around Esme's waist. Alice puts her hands on her hips and gives Carlisle a look that says why are you stopping me from wakening up Andrea and then drop her hands from her hip and give Carlisle a sad face.

"Alice's I am not going to stop you from wakening up Andrea, I just want you to let Andrea know that she does not need to wear her DonJoy Defiance Knee Brace or ankle brace today because she is stay home and take it easy celebrate Christmas and meeting her great-grandfather today."

"I will."

Alice turns her back to her family and start skipping and a few moments later is skipping down the basement staircase. A minute later Alice is standing beside Andrea's bed and she is tapping Andrea on her left shoulder, because Andrea is sleeping on her right side.

"Andrea's it time to wake up, Embry is on his way here to celebrate Christmas with us, so you need to get up and get dress."

Andrea rolls onto her stomach and put a pillow over her head wishing Alice would go away because she just wants to sleep, but Alice tap Andrea shoulder again. When Andrea does not roll over and sit up in bed, Alice starts to shake Andrea with both hands. After a minute of Alice shake her Andrea slaps at Alice hands and Alice steps away from the side of the bed. Then Andrea rolls onto her back and sits up in bed rubbing her eyes. Andrea then tosses the stain lavender bedspread and unfitted sheet off and Alice smiles when she sees Andrea getting out of bed wearing the lavender stain spaghetti strap nightgown, which is just above the knee in length and that has a deep v neckline and that she brought Andrea. Andrea starts to walk to her bedroom door and Alice jumps in front of her.

"Where do you think you are going?"

"I need to use the bathroom and after I use the bathroom, I am going to brush my teeth."

"Ok, I will get the dress you are wearing today out of your closet and Carlisle says you do not need to wear your knee brace or ankle brace today."

"Ok. I will see you again in a few minutes."

Alice skips over to the closet and open up the door, as Andrea walks out of her bedroom and then walks to the bathroom. Once in the bathroom Andrea walks over to the far right-hand wall if your back is to the bathroom door and walks up to the white square pedestal sink that has classical metal hot and cold handle with a faucet in the center between the handles and the hot and cold handles are porcelain and says hot and cold on them in black and the built-in wood medicine cabinet that been paint white and is over the sink. The sink is on the right-hand side and the toilet is on the left side with a small lavender trash can in between the toilet and sink if you are facing the toilet and bathroom sink. Andrea looks into the mirror that is in the door of the medicine cabinet and sees that she is palely then normal, which is not good because there is a long day ahead of her and does not need Esme's fuss over her and worried that she is getting sick. Andrea really does not need to use the bathroom, so she open up the medicine cabinet door and get her toothbrush and toothpaste out. At the same time in Andrea's bedroom Alice grabs a hold of a hanger that has a sparkling silver satin cocktail dress with spaghetti straps and a v neckline and a deep v back with a shimmery sequin silver mesh overlay and a taffeta sash that is around the waist of the dress with an oversized bow on the back of the dress. The dress comes to just above the knees in length and there is a hidden zipper closure on the back of the dress. In addition there is a long sleeve satin shrug cardigan with sliver sequins on the cardigan, which is on the hanger over the cocktail dress. Then Alice grabs the five inches glitter sliver stiletto pump with open toes off of the closet floor.

Ten minutes later Andrea is dress in the dress and cardigan and she is wear the stiletto pumps, which make her five inches tall and hurt her feet because they are new and have not been wearing before, because Alice brought them and put the stiletto pumps in her closet yesterday. Andrea and Alice are in the bathroom and Andrea is standing in front of the sink and Alice is standing behind Andrea. Alice has already comb Andrea's hair and has pull a thin layer of Andrea hair into a half ponytail with her left hand and right now she is pick up a silver barrette with Swarovski crystal roses on it. Alice put the barrette into the hair and then check to see if the curling Iron is hot enough, but it needs a little longer. Alice gets out Andrea makeup and start to put some foundation onto Andrea's face and at the same time Andrea is thinking I am happy that the Victorian signet ring that is eighteen karat yellow gold with a square face and has a gold wolf on type of the ring and on my right thumb, along with the eighteen-karat rose gold ring with an opal in the center in a pong setting with twelve white seed pearls inset in a circle around the opal that is on my right ring finger goes with the dress and cardigan. Then Andrea start thinking I am happy the small eighteen-karat rose gold ring with the bloodstone in a low pong setting that on the pinky finger of my right hand goes with the dress too. I am also happy that the Victorian silver necklace that has a pear-shaped pendant that forms an outline with diamonds inset into it and a solitaire pear rose cut diamond pendant hanging for a fourteen-karat gold circle and dangle from the center of the pear-shaped pendant and the Victorian bangle bracelet, which has amethysts and diamonds for a total of fifteen gemstones. One amethyst then one diamond then amethyst then a diamond pattern on my right wrist and the princess cut amethyst stud earrings I am wearing goes with the dress and cardigan too. Andrea stop thinking about the jewelry she is wearing and notices that Alice has already finished put foundation, light pink blush, silver glitter eyeshadow, black eyeliner and mascara on and Alice is now put petal pink (baby pink) lipstick onto her lips. A minute later Alice has starts to put spiral curls into Andrea's hair using the curling Iron.

"Alice isn't the dress, jewelry, makeup and the hair a little over done for spent the morning with Embry, you, Edward, Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie, Carlisle and Esme and meeting my great-grandfather Aro, Renata and Felix this later today?"

"No, you are part of the Cullen's family now and when we have a celebration and meet someone for the first time we dress up!"

"Ok."

"Do not sound so sad Andrea, today is going to be great and you are going to surprise Aro with the gift you have to show people their past and future and show them your past and future too."

"I am not sad Alice. I am just tired."

Andrea stop talking and start to yawn into his right hand, as Alice does her hair. Andrea keeps yawning into her right hand and after a few minutes' Alice set the curling iron down and walks out of the bathroom. A few moments later Alice comes back into the bathroom and Alice's hands Andrea's a twenty-oz bottle of Mt. Dew. Andrea open up the bottle of Mt. Dew and take a few drinks. Then set the bottle of pop on the bathroom sink and Alice goes back to doing Andrea hair. Ten and half minutes later Alice has just finish Andrea hair when the front door bell rings. Andrea grabs her bottle of Mt. Dew off of the bathroom sink and then walks out of the bathroom. She open up the bottle of pop and drink some pop as she walks over to the staircase and at the same time Alice unplugs the curling Iron.

Meanwhile, at the front door Esme has just open up the door. She steps back and Embry who is carrying a small silver and gold gift bag in his left-hand walks into the house. He turns and waves at his mom to let his mom know that she can leave. Once his mom has drive away from the house and is heading toward the road, he turns his back to the front door and walks into the living room as Esme close the door.

"You have a beautiful house, Mrs. Cullen."

"Thank you Embry and you can call me Esme."

At the same time Andrea walks into the living room and Embry mouth drop open, because Andrea who always looks beautiful to him, looks drop dead glamorous today. Jasper walks up behind Embry and puts his hands on his shoulders, as he starts to talk. At the same time Andrea notices that Embry has his long black hair pulled back into a ponytail and he is wearing a long sleeved silver dress shirt, a pair of black dress pant, black socks and a pair of black dress shoes too.

"I would close your mouth and then take a breath."

Embry just stands there with his mouth open staring at Andrea, like he did not hear Jasper. At the same time Andrea is walking toward Embry and Jasper. Jasper's start using his powers on Embry and after a few seconds Embry close his mouth and then he takes a breath. When Andrea reach Jasper and Embry she takes a hold of Embry right hand and Jasper takes his hand off his shoulder, then Andrea leads Embry over to the white sectional couch. At the same time Alice rush into the living room and grabs a gold medium sized gift bag from under the Christmas tree and then walks over to Andrea and hand her the gift bag, which is from Andrea to Embry. Andrea takes the gift bag from Alice and then Embry and Andrea sits down on the center of the couch facing the glass back wall and the Christmas tree. Andrea set her bottle of pop onto a black coaster that is on the coffee table and at the same time Alice skips over to the Christmas tree. Alice then starts gathering up the gifts that Andrea got everyone to give the gift to everyone and she also grabs the gifts that the Cullen's get Andrea and Embry to set them in front of Andrea and Embry. Embry hand Andrea's the gift bag with her gift and then Andrea hand the gift bag with his gift in it to him. Embry takes the gold tissues' paper that is set at the top of the bag out and then pulls out an oak wood carving, which is a bust of himself wearing a war bonnet on his head and under the bust is a carving of a wolf with the head point up and the wolf is howling at the sky and under the wolf paws it is carved to look like the wolf is standing on the edge of a cliff. Embry looks up from the wood carving and looks at Andrea.

"Did you do this?"

"No I ask Billy Black to make it and Billy Black said yes."

"So this is what he was working on and would not let me look at."

"Yes, do you like it?"

"I love it Andrea, thank you."

"You are welcome."

Andrea pulls the silver and gold tissue paper out of the bag and then pulls a white cardboard jewelry box out of the bag. She takes the lid off the box and sees a wide cuff bracelet that is made with seed beads in a peyote stitched. The bracelet has a line of nine blue silver seed beads in a diamond shaped pattern with an outline of purple seed beads that goes the whole width of the bracelet and that is in the center of pink pearl seed beads background. In addition the bracelet has a double silver metal clasp closure. Andrea then notices that the bracelet is well made and that all of the stitching is strong and that the bead work of the bracelet is made with a stiff thread that is needed to hold the shape of a wide cuff bracelet. Embry lifts the bracelet out of the box and then puts the bracelet onto Andrea's left wrist.

"Did you make the bracelet?"

"Yes, do you like it?"

"I love the bracelet, thank you."

Andrea puts her arms around Embry and he puts his arms around Andrea and they give each other a hug and then Andrea kiss Embry on the lips and he kisses her back. When Andrea and Embry stop kisses, Andrea sees four Christmas gifts in front of her and Embry see there is a large gift in front of him that is from Esme, Carlisle, Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper and Alice and that is wrapped in gold wrapping paper with silver bells on it. Then Andrea and Embry notice that the Cullen's are watching them.

"(All the Cullen at same time) open up your gifts first then we will open our gifts from Andrea after the two of you open your gifts."

Andrea's pick up her bottle of pop and start to drink the pop as Embry's pick up his gift. After a few drinks of pop Andrea put the pop down on the coffee table and then Andrea grabs the gift by her right foot that is wrapped in silver wrapping paper with gold bells on it. Embry starts to unwrap his gift first and when all the wrapping paper is off of the gift, he sees that the Cullen's have got him a large brown leather bound sketchbook with a metal cast of a wolf on the front cover and it has five hundred sheets of high quality sketch paper.

"Thank you Esme, Carlisle, Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper and Alice."

"(All the Cullen's) you are welcome, Andrea said you love to draw and we thought you would love this sketchbook."

A few moments later Andrea sits up in the chair and takes off the long sleeved satin shrug cardigan with sliver sequins because she feels a little warm and put the cardigan on the back of the chair and then goes back to nibbling on the strawberry muffin and is thinking I hope that I am not getting sick. A few moments later she has cooled off a little but she is still too hot to put the cardigan back on. Five minutes later she is still nibbling on the muffin when Esme and Alice come down the basement staircase and walks over to her. Andrea set the muffin down on the napkin and looks up at Alice and Esme who are now standing across from her with they backs to the bathroom and laundry room. Alice looks at Esme who is looking at the muffin in front of Andrea that has about twelve small bites out of it and at the same time Alice start to talk.

"I tell you that she was eating breakfast."

"A muffin is not enough of a breakfast this morning, we cannot have her stomach rumble in front of Aro, he will think that we do not feed her enough human food."

"But it is a large muffin Esme."

"A muffin is just a snack Alice. Andrea's I am going to make you some waffles with fresh strawberry on top to go with the muffin."

"The muffin is big enough that I will be full by the time I finish eating the muffin Esme."

At the same time Andrea stomach rumble loudly five times in a row and Alice and Esme looks at Andrea. Andrea's pick up the muffin and she go back to eating the muffin despite not having an appetite because she must be hunger if her stomach is rumbling. Esme walks over to the kitchenette and gets to work on make waffles. Alice goes to work getting the fresh strawberry ready to put on top of the waffles. Andrea has just finish eating the strawberry muffin when Esme set a white porcelain plate with red roses on the plate and that has four waffles with strawberry on top in front of her and a fork. At the same time Alice's tucks a red towel into the neckline of the dress and then set a red towel on Andrea's lap, so if any of the strawberry falls off of the fork there do not land on the dress.

"Start to eat your waffle's Andrea and I want to see every bite of waffle ate."

"Yes Esme."

Andrea's pick up the fork and start to eat the waffles. Esme and Alice sit down at the table and the two of them watch Andrea as she eats the waffles. After a few bites Alice can tell that Andrea needs something to drink to wash down the waffles and stand up from the chair. Alice then walks over to the white refrigerator that is on the left end of the kitchenette if stand in front of the kitchenette. Alice open up the refrigerator door and grab the jug of apple juice out of the refrigerator. Alice close the refrigerator door and then open up the upper cabinet door that is next to the refrigerator and grabs a glass with etched roses on the glass out of the cabinet. Then Alice pours Andrea a glass of apple juice and a few moments later Alice set the glass in front of Andrea and then sit back down at the table. Andrea's pick up the glass and takes a drink. She then set the glass on the table and goes back to eating the waffles, wishing that Alice and Esme would stop watching her eat and go upstairs because she is in the mood to be left alone. Eleven and half minutes later Andrea takes the last bite of waffle. She set the fork down and pick up the glass of apple juice. She then takes a drink of apple juice as Alice and Esme smile at her. Then Andrea finish drinking the glass of apple juice and set the empty glass on the table.

"The waffles were great Esme, thank you for making them for me."

"You are welcome Andrea. Did you get enough to eat or are you still hunger?"

"I am full and in fact between the large muffin and four waffles with strawberry on the top, I think that I over eat and will not be hunger until at lest dinner time."

Meanwhile, Alice starts to stare into space, which cause Esme and Andrea to stop talking. Andrea's pick up a napkin and wipe her mouth on the napkin, Esme who is sitting across from Andrea looks over at Alice who is sitting on Andrea's left and Esme start to talk.

"Alice's what do you see?"

"Aro is on his where here right now and his wife Sulpicia is with him, Renata and Felix and the four of them will be here in five minutes time."

"Alice and Andrea head upstairs and to the living room, because Andrea should be sitting in the living room waiting to meet Aro, Sulpicia, Renata and Felix when they get here. I will clean up Andrea's breakfast dishes, the mixes bowl and the waffle maker really fast and then I will come join the family in the living room."

Alice stands up really fast and then takes the towels off Andrea and then pulls Andrea to her feet. Alice starts to walk toward the staircase, but Andrea looks at Esme who is gathering up the dirty plate, fork and empty glass from the table.

"Esme just set the dishes in the sink. I will wash them up after Aro leave."

"No I will clean it up, it will take no time at all Andrea, just head upstairs."

"Ok."

Esme looks at Andrea and can see that she looks nervous about meet Aro, Sulpicia, Renata and Felix. Esme quickly walks over to Andrea and pulls her into a hug, which seem to relax Andrea a little. Esme rub Andrea back and start to talk to her.

"You will do great today and by the time Aro, Sulpicia, Renata and Felix leave the four of them will see how special a granddaughter of a half human and a half vampire is and Sulpicia, Renata and Felix will love you the same way that Aro does, which is the way your grandparents, parent and Carlisle and I love you."

"Thank you, Esme. I am not as nervous about meeting Aro, Sulpicia, Renata and Felix as I was a few moments ago."

"You are welcome, now head up stairs."

"I will."

Esme stop hugging Andrea and Andrea walk over to the staircase to see that Alice is waiting for her. The two of them head upstairs to the first floor and a minute and half later the two of them are walking out of the dining room. Andrea turns to her right and then walks over to the small hallway that leads to the downstairs half bath that is under the grand wooden staircase. Alice is over to Andrea sides in second and has grabbed her left arm.

"Where are you going?"

"I need to use the bathroom."

"Oh, but do not take a long time."

"I won't."

Alice let go of Andrea arm and walk over to Jasper who is standing beside the Christmas tree. Alice wraps her left arms around Jasper's waist and he turns so he is facing her and kiss Alice on the lip. Andrea notices that Edward is sitting at his grand piano, Emmett is sitting on the accent chair on the left side of the living room if standing behind the chairs and Rosalie is sitting on Emmett's lap and Carlisle is standing in front of the front door looking out the tall windows on each side of the front door there is also a glass window above the front door. Andrea walks into the half bath and shut the door behind her. Andrea then walks over to the white toilet that is up against the far-right hand wall if standing in the half bath door and the white antique oval porcelain splash back pedestal bathroom sink is up against the far left-hand wall if standing in the half bath door. The main area of the half bath floor is white hexagon porcelain tiles, with a black hexagon porcelain tile outline the white porcelain tiles. The tops half of the walls are silver with a gold toile of ladies and gentlemen sitting beside a lake talking to each other and mahogany wainscoting is on the bottom half of the walls. Two minutes later in the half bath Andrea is dry her hands on the white hand towel that is hanging from the round gold towel ring that is mounted on the wall that is on the right side of the pedestal bathroom sink if standing in front of the sink. She looks into the oval mirror that over the sink and notices that her cheeks started having a brighter shade of pink to them then the pink blush that Alice put on her this morning and hope that no one else has notice this and is also thinking I could use a glass of ice cold water. Andrea takes a deep breath and then walks over to the door and open up the door. She walks out of the half bath to see Edward standing in front of the door holding a glass of ice cold water. Edward hands her the glass of water and Andrea takes the glass of ice water from him.

"Thank you."

"You are welcome. Alice says they are almost here."

Edward takes a hold of Andrea's left hand and the two of them walks her into the living room. Once in the living room Andrea sits down on the accent chair that is on the right-hand side if standing behind the accent chairs and looking at the sectional couch. Andrea takes a drink of the ice water and she is trying to push the feeling that she is coming down with something out of her head, Andrea sees Edward look at her and knows that he is reading what she is thinking. Edward kneels beside Andrea and whisper very quietly into Andrea.

"You thought are save I will not say anything to Esme and if she starts to fuss over you, I will come over and do my best to get her to leave you alone."

"Thank you."

"You are welcome, but once Aro is gone, I will not keep Esme form being motherly toward you."

"That is fine."

Edward stands up and walks over to the piano bench and sits down. Andrea takes another drink of ice water and then set the glass on a black coaster that is on the coffee table between the couch and accent chairs, at the same time Esme walks up to Andrea with Andrea's long sleeved satin shrug cardigan in her hands. Andrea looks at Esme then looks at the cardigan.

"Andrea put this on, so you do not get cold when your great-grandfather hugs you when he gets here."

Andrea stands up and takes the cardigan from Esme and put the cardigan on. Andrea then sits back down on the chair and start watching the front door, wishing that she was not wearing the cardigan because she is hot and the cardigan is only making her hotter. Andrea is also thinking I have to be coming down with something, I hope it is not pneumonia, which is what Sam Uley is take antibiotic for and I was around him when he was contagious. A few minutes later Carlisle open up the front door and then he steps back, Aro walks through the front door and into the house. The first thing Andrea notices are Aro's bright red eyes, Andrea then notices that his dark brown hair comes just past his shoulders in length and he is wearing his hair down and wearing a black suit, black longs sleeved dress shirt under the suit jacket, red tie, black dress socks and black dress shoes. The second person to come through the front door is Sulpicia, Andrea notices that she has red eyes like Aro. Andrea then notices that she has dark brown curly hair that is below her shoulders in length and has thin eyebrows with a thin pale face with a pointed chin and that she is wearing a long sleeved black dress and black high heel pumps. Then Renata comes into the house wearing a black cloak with is pulled around her, so Andrea cannot see what Renata wearing under the cloak, but Andrea can see that she has black hair because the hood is down on the cloak and that her eyes are red too. Felix comes into the house next and he is wearing all black. Carlisle close the front door and then hug each of the guests.

A few moments later Carlisle lead Aro, Sulpicia, Renata and Felix into the living room and Andrea see that Aro has three gold gift bags in his left hand. Andrea stands up from the chair, because Edward, Rosalie and Emmett have stands up. Aro walks up to Andrea first and takes a long look at his great-granddaughter and then he gives Andrea a hug. He takes a deep breath and inhaling the blood smell that is coming from Andrea beating heart, which smell like flowers and the flower smell is so strong that he hardly notices the slight hit of dog mixes in with the flower scent. He pulls back from the hug and smiles at Andrea.

"Your blood smell like flowers to me just like your great-grandmother blood smell like when I had the one night affair with her."

"That nice to know, I think."

Aro let out a little laugh then hug Andrea one more time, then he hugs the rest of the Cullen's family. At the same time Sulpicia hug Andrea and then she goes and hugs the Cullen's. Renata and Felix just shake Andrea right hand before moving on to hug the Cullen's. A few minutes later Aro and Sulpicia sit down on the center of the section of the couch across from Andrea who has sit back down on the accent chair. Felix is sitting on Sulpicia left and Renata is sitting on Aro right side and Aro has set the gift bags on the coffee table in front of Andrea. Aro puts a hug grin on his face and Andrea can see his bright and shine white teeth. Andrea smiles at Aro and is trying not to show how nervously having four sets of red eyes' staring at her is making her feel. Jasper can sense how nervous Andrea is becoming and he walks up behind Andrea and puts his hands onto Andrea shoulders. Then Jasper starts to use his powers to calm Andrea down, Aro starts to laugh and then looks at the vampires sitting on the couch with him.

"This is interest even with having some vampire DNA in her genetic make up Andrea can get nervous around vampires."

"Snarling Andrea has not had a lot of good experience with red-eyed vampires. She is fine around us."

At the same time Carlisle and Alice come up beside Jasper. Carlisle puts his left hand on Jasper's shoulder and Alice puts her right hand on Jasper's shoulder and he stops making the snarling sound.

"It is nice to see that Jasper is willing to protect my great-granddaughter and that he will use his gift to make her comfortable around her great-grandfather and great-grandmother by marriage, along with the two Volturi guards that are here."

"She is family and I will die fighting to keep her safe from anyone that wants to do her harm."

"Jasper and Aro no one wants to hurt me."

"At lest no one here wants to hurt you, laughing."

Carlisle clears his throat and Aro stops laughing. At the same time all the Cullen's, Andrea, Aro, Felix, Sulpicia and Renata looks at Carlisle and then Carlisle starts to talk.

"Aro is there something you know that we do not?"

"No, Andrea should open her gift that Sulpicia and I bright along with the gift from Marcus and the gift from Caius and his wife Athenodora."

Andrea smiles and leans toward the coffee table and looks at the tags on the gold gift bags and find the bag, which tag says from Aro and Sulpicia and to Andrea in beautiful calligraphy. Andrea set the gift bag on her lap and then pulls the top layer of gold tissue paper out of the bag. She then sees an original thin gray jewelry case that is very old and big enough for a necklace in the bag. Andrea careful lift the jewelry case out of the bag and then lift the lid up to see the case is lined in white silk and there is a Victorian necklace that has 291 rose cut diamonds and in addition has 43 old mine cut diamonds that are encrusted in silver on an eighteen-karat red gold back. There are five arched ribbons with diamond inset into them and each inner diamond comes together on both sides of a central trinity of leaves. In addition there are suspending diamonds at the end of leaf stems and the diamond at the end of the leaf stems are inset into a mount that make it look like a flower and the necklace is long enough that it comes down to the lady bust. Aro smiles at Andrea and then stand up from the couch and walks over to his great-granddaughter and he is talking as he walks.

"The necklace is from 1860 and is from Belgium."

Aro walks up behind Andrea and Alice, Carlisle and Jasper's steps away from Andrea. Aro careful takes off the necklace that Andrea is wearing, then Aro then hands the necklace to Andrea and Aro picks up the necklace that his wife and he gave Andrea. Andrea set the necklace that Aro hand her in the case on her lap and close the lid, as Aro put the 1860 Belgium necklace onto his great-granddaughter neck. Andrea is surprise that when Aro hands touch her neck she did not jump from the cold, instead his cold hands feel good against her neck, which is hot.

"Aro and Sulpicia thank you for the necklace and the necklace is exquisite."

"(Aro and Sulpicia) You are welcome."

Once the necklace is clasps closed, Aro walks over to the couch and sits down on the couch between his wife and Renata. Andrea set the empty gift bag on the floor and the jewelry case on the coffee table and then pick up the gift bag that tag says from Marcus to Andrea. Andrea pulls out the gold tissues' paper and sees a wooden jewelry case with pearls set into the case. The case and a note are setting on more gold tissue paper. Andrea lifts the wooden case and the note out of the gift bag. Andrea set the case and the note on her lap and then set the gift bag on the floor. Andrea then picks up the note and open up the note then start to read the note out loud.

"The gift in the wooden jewelry case used to belong to my late wife Didyme, who is Aro's sister and your great-aunt and she would want you to have this. Because she told me if she was killed to make sure a female blood relative get it and you are the first blood relative that I could find that is still alive."

Andrea set the note on the coffee table and then open up the wooden jewelry case to see an armband (bracelet) with a two-headed snake that has Heracles knots in the center where the two snake tail met and there is a ruby, then a garnet and then a ruby in the center of the Heracles knots. The first snake head will set above the hand and the second snake head set before the bent of the elbow, as she looks at the armband Andrea remembers see one similar to this one in a museum, which was from the fourth century BC. Andrea careful lift the armband out to let everyone see it and then set the armband back into the wooden jewelry case. She close the lid on the jewelry case, then Andrea set the case on the coffee table.

"Aro's tell Marcus's thank you and that I love the armband and will keep the armband safe and past it onto my daughter when I have one and she has come of age."

"I will Andrea."

Andrea's pick up her glass of ice water and take a few sips of water. A minute later Andrea set the glass back down on the coffee table and then takes off the cardigan she is wearing because it is making her too hot. She lay the cardigan over the back of the accent chair and then she picks up the last gift bag that on the coffee table. Andrea sees that this gift is from Caius and his wife Athenodora. She pulls out the gold tissues' paper to see a red antique bracelet case. Andrea pulls the case out of the gift bag and set the gift bag onto the floor and then open up the case to see an antique Edwardian opal diamond bracelet. There are three diamonds on the left side of the bracelet that form a triangular then an elongated oval opal, then two diamonds lengthwise, elongated oval opal then two diamonds lengthwise then an elongated oval opal and then three diamonds forming a triangular at the right side of the bracelet. Then Andrea sees a note tape to the top of the case lid that says this is a silver topped gold bracelet that is centered with three elongated oval opals and is from 1910 and the opals are 1 4.9 mm, 1 4.2 mm, 14.5 x 6.5 x 3 mm and the diamond total weight are 0.70 ct. and the length of the bracelet is 173 mm. Andrea looks up from the bracelet and hold up the case so everyone can take a look. A few moments later she close the case lid and then set the case on the coffee table beside the other two jewelry cases.

"Aro will you tell Caius and Athenodora thank you and that I love the bracelet."

"I will and Athenodora thought you would love that bracelet and when you get married it would look great with any wedding gown."

"I will keep that in mind for the day that I get married."

Andrea's pick up the glass of water and start to drink the water again and she is wishing that she could put the cold glass against her face and neck because she is really hot, but know if she does that Esme would be fuss over her nonstop, so she just take a few sips and then set the glass down on the coffee table, at the same time Aro start to talk.

"Andrea's do you like living with the Cullen's, If you want to you can come live with me and the rest of the Volturi in Volterra, Italy?"

"Thank you for the offer, but I love living in Forks with the Cullen's and all my friends are here and it would totally mess up my high school credits if I moved during the middle of my eleventh grade year of school."

"That is what I thought you would say, but I had to offer you the opportunity to come live with me."

Carlisle walks over to Aro and Aro stands up from the couch. Then Aro and Carlisle walk over to the glass doors that lead to the wrap around porch and the two of them head outside to talk. Esme walks over to the couch and Esme and Sulpicia starts to talk. Andrea's pick up the glass of ice water and takes a drink. At the same time Alice kneels down beside Andrea.

"Your makeup needs a touch up. Pick up your gifts and take them to your bedroom and then meet me in your bathroom in a few minutes to touch up your makeup."

"Ok."

Alice stands up and starts talking to Jasper and a few moments later Andrea stands up from the accent chair. Andrea set the glass of water on the coffee table, then picks up the three jewelry cases and the glass of ice water with her left hand. Andrea then walks toward the dinning room doorway and once downstairs in the basement Andrea heads into her bedroom and walks over to the dresser. Andrea set the jewelry cases on the dresser next to the two rosewood jewelry boxes. She then sits down on her bed and put her right hand on her forehead, which feels clammy to the touch. Andrea takes her hand off of her forehead and then drinks the rest of the ice water. At the same time she can hear Alice in her bathroom getting the makeup out. Andrea stands up from her bed and then walks out of her bedroom. She takes the glass over to the kitchenette sink and put the used glass into the sink. Andrea then walks into the bathroom and over to the bathroom sink, which Alice is standing in front off. Alice gets right to work touch up Andrea's make up, which seem to have worn off completely. When Alice is done Andrea looks into the mirror and sees that Alice has reapplied the glitter silver eyeshadow, the black massacre and black eyeliner, same shade of lipstick as the morning and this time uses a pink rose blush on her cheeks, which is a little darker then the pink Alice used this morning. Alice who has finished putting the makeup away has put her hands on Andrea's shoulders and Alice has starts to move Andrea toward the bathroom door. At the same time Andrea is thinking Alice cold hands feel good on her shoulders and Alice's cold hands cooler me down. When they reach the bathroom door Alice turn Andrea around so the two of them are looking at each other and Alice start to talk.

"Are you feeling all right, because you feel clammy?"

"I feel fine, I am just a little tired and my throat feel a little dry too."

"Take a few minutes to yourself and get a bottle of water out of your refrigerator and stand in front of the open door of the refrigerator too cool down some, as you drink some of the water and once you have cooled off come back upstairs. I will cover for you and say that you need a few minutes to use the bathroom and take care of some human needs."

"Thank you, Alice."

"You are welcome."

Andrea walks out of the bathroom and then goes over to the refrigerator, as Alice start skipping up the basement staircase. Andrea open up the refrigerator door, but does not take a bottle of water out right away. Andrea just stands in front of the open refrigerator and let the cool air hit her and the cool air feels good on the hot skin and is thinking I have to be getting sick because I am really tired, hot, achy all over and my throat has starts to hurt a little too. In addition my lungs are starting to feel tight too. She grabs a bottle of water out of the refrigerator and then open up the bottle of water and starts to take a drink. Andrea stands in front of the open refrigerator door until she starts to feel cold and then close the refrigerator door and walks over to the loveseat in the living room area and sits down on the loveseat to get off her feet, because the five inches glitter sliver stiletto pumps are started to hurt her feet, left knee, left ankle and left hip too. After sitting for the a few moments she knows that Esme has notice that she still has not come back and can hear Esme walking toward the dinning room door. Andrea stands up from the loveseat and walks over to the staircase and then head upstairs to the first floor. Esme is just walking toward the basement door when Andrea walks into the kitchen carrying a bottle of water in her right hand.

"I was just coming to check on you, is everything all right?"

"Yes, I just need some time to take care of my human need in the bathroom."

"That what Alice said but it seemed to take you longer them normal."

"I am fine Esme."

Esme and Andrea walk out of the kitchen and through the dinning room and then walks into the living room and Andrea see that Aro is sitting next to his wife again. Andrea walks over to the accent chair she was sitting on before heading down to the basement and sits down on the accent chair, at the same time Aro stand up and then walks over to her.

"Do you mind if I take your left hand and read your thought, because my gift is tactile telepathy and through touch I can see thoughts, feelings and memories someone had?"

"I do not mind."

Aro kneels down in front of Andrea and take a hold of her left hand and right away sees the moment of a one-year-old Andrea running up a staircase and grandmother Rosemay Kat is chasing Andrea up the staircase and Rosemay grabs a hold of Andrea on the fifth step.

"You know that you are not allowed to run up the stairs."

"Laughing but its fun when you chasing me grandma."

Rosemay takes Andrea down the stairs and then into the living room. Aro sees all the moment and events that his daughter Rosemay had with her granddaughter included the night that Rosemay dead when the car caught fire after hitting a tree and can see how scary Andrea was that night, he also seen moments with her grandfather, mom and dad. In addition he sees the moment when Andrea, her grandparent and her parents were all together, all of the moments that happened in La Push that means time she and Embry taken long walks on the beach, working with Jared in wolf form to keep the vampire out of La Push and Victoria and James fighting her and then Jared chases James, Laurent and Victoria out of La Push before come back to her and moments in La Push that Andrea wish that Aro would not see and then the memories that Rosemary shared with Andrea about her mothers' childhood and the moments Rosemay shared with Andrea about her childhood, teen years and adult life with her husband. When Aro let go of Andrea left hand he stands up slowly and starts pace around the living room and after a few minutes start to talk.

"Andrea in one of the moment you show me you had your hand on your dying grandfather Kat forehead and was showing an event that has not happened yet, how are you able to do that and can you just show events that have not happened yet or show the past too?"

"Carlisle thinks if because of the vampire DNA in my genes that I am able to perform the gift so well as a human. I can show people my past and future and I can also show them their past and future too."

"The future part is it what could happen or what will happen?"

"If you asking if it is like vampires who are able to see what is going to happen as the other vampire or person is thinking about doing something and that will change if the vampire or person changes they mind then no, it's not like that. I can only show them the future that is set in stone and is going to happen no matter what they do or think about in their life."

"Will you show me something Andrea?"

"Sure."

Aro walks in front of Andrea and he kneels down in front of her again and she puts her left hand onto his cold forehead and right away Aro sees Andrea laying on her bed in her basement bedroom and Andrea is holding a newborn baby girl in her arms and Embry is sitting on the bed and he is gently running his left hand over the top of the baby girls tiny hands. A few moments later Andrea takes her hand off of Aro's forehead and he stands up and start pace around the living room again. Carlisle's kneel down in front of Andrea and she put her left hand on his forehead and show Carlisle what she showed Aro and Carlisle smiles at Andrea and laughs a little. Andrea takes her hand off Carlisle's forehead and he stands up.

"That is why Aro is pace again, he did not think you would date someone that is half Quileute and half Makah or having a baby with one seeing that you are living with us and vampire and the Quileute shape-shifter are enemies."

"I have no choice Embry is my soul mate and I have imprinted on him."

"I know that and what was the moment that he saw you show your grandfather?"

"I will show you it is easy that way."

Carlisle knees down again and Andrea puts her left forehand onto his forehead and then Carlisle sees Embry and Andrea getting married on her parents and grandparents' property that now belong to her. A minute later Andrea is taking a sip from her bottle of water and Carlisle is standing in front of Andrea and he is watching Aro's pace.

"Embry is going to be a very handsome young man in 2007 when the two of you get married. Did you know that was Embry Call when you showed your grandfather?"

"No, I just knew that it was the man that I was going to marry and that all my grandfather wanting to know that I was going to find someone to love and that I was going to be happily married."

"I am sure seeing you getting married, made your grandfather very happy in the last few minutes of his life."

"It did."

At the same time Aro sits down beside his wife on the couch and he takes his wife hands. Aro then whispers into his wife Sulpicia ear everything he saw when holding Andrea's left hand and everything he saw when Andrea touches his forehead and Sulpicia smiles when she hears about the baby. Sulpicia then looks at Andrea and start to talk.

"A baby in the house will make Alice, Rosalie and Esme very happy. Seeing that the three of them will be able to help you take care of your daughter and seeing that Rosalie and Esme have always want to have a baby of their own, but being frozen in time, the two of them will not be able to have a baby. Alice will just love getting to take part in the little girls' life and dress her in the late fashion."

Edward sees the confused looks on Alice, Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie and Esme face and let them know about the vision of Andrea laying on her bed in her basement bedroom and Andrea holding a newborn baby girl in her arms and that Embry is sitting on the bed gently running his left hand over the top of the baby girls tiny hands. Alice, Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie and Esme's smile really big at Sulpicia and then everyone smiles at Andrea. At the same time Andrea lift the cardigan off the back of the accent chair and put the cardigan on, because she has got a little cold touch Aro and Carlisle forehead with her left hand. Aro looks at Andrea and then smiles a smile that makes Andrea feel uncomfortable, but she does not let Aro see that she is feeling uncomfortable and at the same time Aro's start to talk.

"Jasper's I do not think you need to worry about defend my great-granddaughter she seems to be able to defend herself from the memory she showed me of fighting the vampires Victoria and James in La Push. Andrea's I have a question for you, does this Embry Call's treat you with respect and does he love you, like you love him?"

"He treats me with respect and we are both head over heels in love with each other."

"That is good to hear, but you need to be careful when you are around the Quileute shape-shifters because the young ones can be danger because they have not learned to control when to phase and can easily loss their temper and phase without warning. In addition the young shape-shifters do not know their own strength, which could lead to the shape-shifter hurt you."

"I can take care of myself and I am just as strong as the shape-shifter and the vampires Victoria and James you see me fighting in my memory."

Andrea takes the cap of her water bottle and then she takes a long drink of water. At the same time Carlisle, Edward, Emmett, Jasper, Aro, Renata and Felix gather by the Christmas tree to talk and Rosalie, Alice, Esme moves over to the couch and start to talk to Sulpicia, but Andrea stay sitting in the accent chair, drinking the bottle of water. Two minutes later Andrea set the empty bottle of water down on the coffee table and then stands up from the accent chair and walks over to the small hallway that lead to the half bath because she needs to use the bathroom. Esme's watch Andrea walking into the half bath and Andrea close the half bath door. Then Sulpicia, Alice, Esme and Rosalia stand up from the couch and join Carlisle, Edward, Emmett, Jasper, Aro, Renata and Felix by the Christmas tree.

A few minutes later in the half bath Andrea is standing in front of the bathroom sink and the oval mirror over the sink. Andrea looks in the mirror and sees that her cheeks are now more pink then the blush Alice put on her cheeks and at the same time start to shivering. Andrea put her left hand on her forehead, which feel clammy to the touch, then Andrea leans against the wall and is facing the half bath door. She closes her eyes because her head has started to hurt and is thinking great I have a headache along with being achy all over, a sore throat and a tight feeling in my lungs. I have to be getting sick and that is not good. Then Andrea start thinking my strapless bra is getting way too tight and it is making it hard to breathe, which is not good either. Andrea open up her eyes and then walk over to the half bath door. She open up the door and then walk into the small hallway. But instead of walking over to the Christmas tree where everyone is at, Andrea walks over to the grand staircase and then start walking up the stairs. A few minutes later she steps onto the landing of the second floor and then turn to her left, if standing with your back to the grand staircase and walks down the hallway. Andrea walks past the wooden staircase to the three floor and then walks through the open door after the staircase to the third floor, which is Carlisle study and the room across from Carlisle's study is Rosalie and Emmett's bedroom. Once in Carlisle study Andrea looks around the room and see in front of the glass wall is a huge mahogany desk and a leather chair and when you are sitting on the desk chair your back is to the glass wall and the backyard of the house. The walls across from the door and the far left-hand wall if standing in the study door is covered in bookshelves, which are filled of books, but the wall that the study door is on is covered in painting of Carlisle's younger days as a vampire. Andrea walks away from the door and then turns so she is looking at the painting on the wall. Andrea can't keep her eyes away from the painting of Carlisle in Italy where he was living with Aro, Marcus, and Caius and the rest of the Volturi for two decades, in the painting Carlisle eyes are gold, which means that he did not eat the vampire natural food source of human when living with the Volturi, but drink only animal blood. After looking at the painting of Carlisle with the Volturi for a few minutes' Andrea realizes she is no longer alone in the study. Andrea sees Aro and Carlisle looking at her, Aro starts to look at the painting his great-granddaughter was looking at and Carlisle walks up beside Andrea and puts his left arm around her shoulders. At the same time Aro start laughing, then he turns and he looks at Andrea and Carlisle.

"We have not age one day since this painting was made."

"No, we have not Aro."

"My dear great-granddaughter, what are you thinking about Andrea?"

"Your sister Didyme what was she like and was she a vampire too seeing that she was married to Marcus?"

"My sister was a lovely lady and she was several years younger then I and everyone loved her once that meet her. About a decade and a half after I became a vampire, I went to my sister house and I change her into a vampire thinking that she would have a gift like my gift, but it turns out as a vampire her gift was the aura of happiness, which explains the reason everyone seemed to fall in love with her when she was a human and after being change into a vampire many people still fall in love with Didyme, but the only person she responds to was Marcus, my most trusted partner. Didyme and Marcus were truly happy together. Then one day Didyme and Marcus ask for my blessing to leave the Volturi and I gave them the blessing, but before they were to leave Didyme was murder and after her death Marcus's choice to stay with the Volturi. We should head downstairs, Renata probably starts to wonder where I am at."

"Yes that a great Idea Aro and Esme probably wonder where Andrea is."

"I have been gone a while."

"(Aro and Carlisle) yes you have Andrea."

Aro walks out of the study first and is followed out of the study by Andrea and Carlisle walks out of his study last close the door of the study behind him. It only take Aro and Carlisle a few moments to get downstairs, but Andrea walks slowly and carefully down the stairs because of the five inches glitter sliver stiletto pumps, which she is not use to wear and because she has no energy. Once downstairs Andrea start walking toward the accent chairs and the sectional couch, but stop walking when she reaches the grand piano. Andrea pulls the bench out, then sits down on the bench and takes the five inches glitter sliver stiletto pumps off of her feet. Alice looks over at Andrea and sees Andrea is rubbing her feet and that Andrea cheeks are bright pink and looks tired. A few minutes later Andrea stands up and push the bench under the grand piano. Andrea grabs the five inches glitter sliver stiletto pumps off of the floor and then walks over to Edward, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, Carlisle, Esme, Sulpicia, Aro, Renata and Felix who are standing in front of the glass wall and the Christmas tree talking. Andrea walks up between Carlisle and Esme and Esme gives Andrea a worried look when she sees that Andrea cheeks are bright pink, looks tired and that she has took off her stiletto pumps.

"Andrea's go have a seat on the couch and relax and just listen to us talk."

"Would it be all right for me to just go to my bedroom and change into some comfortable clothing and lay down on my bed because I have a really bad headache?"

"That is fine Andrea."

Andrea walks away from the Cullen's and the guests and then head into the dinning room and knows that everyone is watching her. It seems like the walk to the basement door that is in the kitchen take forever. When Andrea reaches the closed basement door, she open the door with her right hand and then steps down onto the first wide step and shut the door behind her. Andrea then slowly walks down the stairs and two minutes later she tosses the stiletto pumps onto the loveseat. Andrea then walks into her bedroom shutting the bedroom door behind her. She then walks over to the dressers and open up the second drawer of the three drawer dresser and takes out a thin black oversized sweatshirt and then close the second drawer. Andrea open up the third door and grab a pair of black bootcut legged sweatpant with a drawstring waist out of the drawer. Andrea tosses the sweatshirt and sweatpant onto her bed and then close the drawer of the dresser. She then open the lid to her great-great-great-great grandmother antique rosewood jewelry box and then Andrea take off the short drop diamond earrings and put them into an open square for earring in the try that lift out. Andrea then open up the rosewood jewelry box Alice and Jasper get her and grabs the earrings that she was wearing this morning out of the rosewood jewelry box and puts each set of earrings into there square of her great-great-great-great grandmother antique rosewood jewelry box. She then puts the earrings that Edward, Rosalie and Emmett and Carlisle and Esme get her into empty earring squares in her great-great-great-great grandmother antique rosewood jewelry box. Andrea then open up the jewelry case that the necklace Aro and Sulpicia gave her came in, then Andrea lifts the tray out of her great-great-great-great grandmother antique rosewood jewelry box and set the tray on the dresser. Andrea's pick up the necklace she was wear this morning and that in the antique jewelry case and puts the necklace into her great-great-great-great grandmother antique rosewood jewelry box and then take the bracelet off of her right wrist and put the bracelet into her great-great-great-great grandmother antique rosewood jewelry box. Then Andrea's pick up the tray and put the tray into the jewelry box and close the lid. Andrea then takes off the necklace that Aro and Sulpicia gave her and set the necklace careful in the case it came int, then Andrea close the lid of the jewelry case. Then Andrea walks over to her bed and changes into the sweatshirt and sweatpant.

A few minutes later Andrea is in the bathroom washing the makeup off of her face. When she done wash her face Andrea looks into the mirror in the medicine cabinet door and her cheeks are bright red and bags have starts to form under her eyes. Andrea open up the medicine cabinet and grab the white digital thermometer off the top shelf. Andrea takes the thermometer out of the case and then grabs a probe cover and put the probe cover onto the thermometer. Then Andrea turns the thermometer on and put the thermometer into her month. A minute later the thermometer beep, Andrea takes the thermometer out of her mouth and looks at the digital display and sees that she is running a fever of 102.9 degrees Fahrenheit. Andrea puts the thermometer away and then grabs the box of Tylenol cold and flu severe, which is for headaches, fever, sore throat, nasal congestion, cough chest congestion and clearing out mucus. She open up the box and take out two pills and then puts the Tylenol cold and flu severe into the medicine cabinet and close the door of the medicine cabinet. Andrea walks out of the bathroom and walks over to the kitchenette and she grabs the glass out of the upper cabinet and then turn on the kitchenette sink. Andrea full the glass half full of water and then turn the water off. Andrea put the two Tylenol cold and flu severe pills into her mouth and then take a few sips of water. Andrea then pours the rest of the water into the sink and set the empty glass into the sink. Andrea then heads into her bedroom, but leaves the door open since she shut the door at the top of the basement staircase. Andrea walks over to her bed and lays down on the bed, then pulls the unfitted sheet and bedspread up because she is cold. Then Andrea rolls onto her left side and at the same time start to cough. Andrea goes to sleep a few minutes later to the sounds of her great-grandfather Aro laughing. Meanwhile on the first floor and in the living room Carlisle, Esme, Sulpicia, Aro, Renata and Felix are the only one left in the living room and are sitting on the couch talking to each other, but Esme is really not paying attention to what Carlisle, Sulpicia, Aro, Renata or Felix is saying because she is listening to the sound of coughing that is coming every ten minutes from Andrea's bedroom in the basement and she is worried about Andrea despite Alice and Edward told her that Andrea is fine, just tired from not sleep well the last few nights. Rosalie and Emmett have gone upstairs to they room and Rosalie is taking the items out of her old black handbag and putting the items into the tote bag Andrea's get her for Christmas. Alice and Jasper have gone outside and Edward has gone to his bedroom to read a book. Back downstairs on the first floor Carlisle looks over at Esme who is now standing by the glass wall and looking through the dinning room door into the dinning room and kitchen and Carlisle can tell his wife is worried about Andrea because she has stopped listening to Sulpicia, Aro, Renata and Felix. Carlisle stands up from the couch and walks over to his wife.

"Come back over to the couch and enjoy the next four hours with Aro, Sulpicia, Renata and Felix and when they leave you can go check on Andrea."

"I think I should check on Andrea's right now!"

"Andrea is sleeping Esme. Just let her sleep for right now."

"But she been coughing Carlisle and her cheeks were so pink when she went downstairs."

"Esme stop worrying about Andrea for now, the cough does not sound that bad."

"All right, but if the cough gets any worse then I am going to check on Andrea."

"That is fine, but for now let get back to our guests."

Carlisle puts his right arm around his wife's waist and lead her over to the accent chair that on the right if standing behind the chairs and Esme sit down on the chair. Carlisle walks over to the other accent chair and sits down. At the same time Aro start to tell a story that take place during Carlisle time with the Volturi, which will take four hours and thirty minutes, Esme leans back in the accent chair and cross her arms over her chest. But Esme keeps a smile on her face as she listening to the story. Once the story ends four hours and thirty minute later, Sulpicia, Renata and Felix do not leave the Cullen's house, but Sulpicia starts to tell a story about the first time that she met Carlisle, which Esme pay a little more attention to because she never heard the story before, but Esme keeps turning her head slight toward the dinning room door listening to Andrea sleep and as the time goes by Andrea cough start to become louder and also sound worse. When Sulpicia story end Renata and Felix start to tell a story about the first time the two of them went on a job for the Volturi guard together and then Aro starts to tell another story, which does not end until six o'clock in the evening, which is the same time that Alice and Jasper come inside and Jasper is trying to calm Alice down and Edward comes running down the grand staircase. Esme stands up from the accent chair and quickly walks over to Alice, Jasper and Edward that are standing by the hallway leading to the half bath. At the same time Aro, Sulpicia, Renata and Felix stand up from the couch and Aro start to talk and Rosalie and Emmet walk down the grand staircase.

"Carlisle I think it is time for us to leave."

"Yes I think it is time for you to leave too. Thank you for coming by for a visit and we need to get together more often, Aro."

"Yes we do and Carlisle will you tell Andrea that I say goodbye and if she needs anything to let me know."

"I will."

Carlisle sees Aro, Sulpicia, Renata and Felix to the front door of the house and Aro, Sulpicia, Renata and Felix wave bye to the Cullen's and then Carlisle open up the front door of the house and Aro, Sulpicia, Renata and Felix then walk out of the front door and Carlisle close the door behind Felix who is the last to walk out of the house. As soon as the door is close Carlisle run over to Esme, Alice, Jasper, Edward, Emmett and Rosalie and can see Alice running her hands through her hair and Jasper has his hands on Alice shoulder using his powers to calm her down, but it is not working. Carlisle holds his right hand up and no one talks until Carlisle put his hand down three minutes later. Then Esme walks in front of Alice and put her hands on each side of Alice face and look Alice in the eyes.

"Alice's tell me what is going on?"

"Carlisle is Aro, Sulpicia, Renata and Felix out of hearing range?"

'Yes."

"A new girl named Isabella Marie Swan is going to start at Forks High School on January 17, 2005 and she is going to fall in love with Edward and Edward is going to fall in love with her, at lest he will after he can get used to be around her because Isabella blood has a very appetizing smell to him and the best part is they are soul mate."

Edward who has been standing with his arm crossed over his chest and pace around the living room stop pace beside Alice and Esme and he gives Alice a look that say you have total lost it. He then starts to pace again and start to talk at the same time.

"I cannot see Isabella Marie Swan being my soul mate for one Isabella is a human and the daughter of the chief of police Charlie Swan. I will not put Chief Swan daughter in danger by having her spent time around me or my family because the risk of her become food is too great and the Volturi rule that our interaction with humans must not draw attention to what we are, which mean that human cannot find out what we are and the vampire that is at fault for a human finding out about them or their family being vampires are responsible for silencing the human and I will not make a human become a vampire to be my soul mate or end her life for good or put her family in danger of the Volturi come to kill them."

"Edward, I am just telling everyone what I saw and Rosalie, Emmett, Carlisle, Esme, Andrea and I just want you to be happy and lately you have been depressed, sullen, brooding and spent a lot of time alone in your room. What is wrong with finding someone that you can be yourself around and by what I saw in my vision Isabella Marie Swan want too spent the rest of her life with you and does not care that it means she needs to become immortal and I saw her become one of us too."

"Alice's it will not happen, I would rather be alone the rest of my life then doom someone to a life of immortal and the loss of their soul!"

Edward walks away from his family and runs up the grand staircase, Alice starts to run after Edward and Carlisle grab Alice left arm and stop her. Alice open her mouth to say something, but Carlisle shakes his head no and Alice runs her hands through her short hair, then walks over to the sectional couch and fall onto couch face down. Jasper walks over to the couch and Alice's life her head up. Jasper sits down on the couch and Alice lay her head on his lap and then Alice let out a long sigh. Esme walks over to Jasper and Alice and kneels down in front of Alice and Jasper.

"What else is bothering you, Alice?"

"I though that what I saw would make Edward happy, but he seems more depressed and sullen then ever and I just saw him becoming more brooding."

Alice stop talking and Jasper run his hand through Alice hair. Esme knows that Alice is not going to tell her anything else, so she stands up and walks away from everyone. A few moments later Esme is walking down the basement staircase to go check on Andrea. When Esme gets to the bottom of the staircase, she sees that Andrea's bedroom door is open and that Andrea is laying in bed with a white digital thermometer in her mouth and that Andrea is sweating, but shivering at the same time. Esme quickly walks across the room and into Andrea's bedroom. Esme then walks over to the left side of the bed if standing at the end of the bed, which is also the side of the bed Andrea is laying on. Esme sits down on the edge of the bed and gives Andrea a worried look. The thermometer starts to beep and Andrea takes the thermometer out of her mouth and looks at the display to see that her fever has gone up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Esme looks over the top of the thermometer at the display and sees that Andrea is running a high fever and is on her feet in second. She then runs out of the bedroom and a few moments later is standing outside the door of Carlisle second floor study.

"Carlisle you need to go upstairs to the third floor and get your medical bag Andrea is running a fever of 104 degrees Fahrenheit."

At the same time Edward appears beside Esme's with Carlisle's medical bag in his left hand and Carlisle diagnostic kit that is in a black case in his right hand. Carlisle stands up from his desk chair and is at the door of the study in second and he takes the medical bag and diagnostic kit from Edward. Esme and Edward steps away from the door and Carlisle walk out of the study and then he quickly walks downstairs to the first floor and he is standing beside Andrea's bed a minute later. Carlisle set his medical bag and the diagnostic kit on the nightstand and then open up the medical bag. At the same time Esme, Edward, Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie are standing inside Andrea's bedroom in front of her bedroom door and they all have worried looks on they face. At the same time Andrea start coughing and cover her mouth with her right hand, she is coughing so hard that she is leaning forward. Carlisle gets his stethoscopes out of his medical bag and puts the eartips of the stethoscopes into his ears. He then puts the diaphragm on Andrea back over her right lungs and listens to the lung and then moves over to the left lung and listens and he does not like what he is hearing. Carlisle takes the stethoscopes off Andrea's back and she lays her head onto th pillows. Carlisle then listens to Andrea's lungs from the front and still does not like what he is hearing. A minute later he has put away the stethoscopes and he has open up the diagnostic kit.

"Andrea is your ears bothering you?"

"No."

"Do you have a sore throat?"

"Yes."

"And last is your nose congested?"

"No, but when I wake up from my nap my chest fill congested and it did not feel congested when I lay down my lungs just felt tight."

"When I listen to you lungs it sounded like there was some fluid in them. I am going to have a look at you throat now."

"Ok."

Carlisle gets out a tongue depressor and Laryngeal mirror, as Andrea open up her mouth. Carlisle use the tongue depressor to hold her tongue down and using the Laryngeal mirror Carlisle looks at Andrea's larynx and throat, Carlisle does not see any signs of strep throat, which means there are no swelling tonsils, white or yellow spots on the back of a bright red throat. Carlisle set the tongue depressor and Laryngeal mirror on the nightstand and then feels Andrea's neck to see if her lymph nodes are swell and find they are the normal sizes.

"How long have you being feeling unwell for Andrea and tell me the truth?"

"I been exhausted since I wake up this morning and have not had an appetite at all today, but I made myself eat a muffin and coughing the waffles Esme made me for breakfast. As the day went on, I start to feel feverish fist I was really hot, then I start to feel achy all over, tightness in my lungs and my throat start to hurt and I notice when I looked in a mirror that my cheeks were pink and I was also cold too, by then. Coughing in addition I get a headache and the tightness in my chest get worse, which is when I ask to go down to my bedroom to changes and lay down, coughing."

Andrea covers her month with her right hand and turn away from Carlisle, as she coughs. Carlisle pulls his doctor pad out of his medical bag and start to write a prescription out for 250 mg of Ampicillin capsules every six hours for ten days. Andrea start coughing and close her eyes, then take a few deeps breathe, which cause her to start coughing again.

"Have Aro and the rest of the guests left Carlisle, coughing?"

"Yes and Aro told me to tell you bye and if you need anything to let him know."

"Ok. What is your medical opinion and what do coughing I need to do to feel better?"

"Andrea's I am going to run to the hospital and to the hospital pharmacy, see that it is the only pharmacy open today and get you a prescription for 250 mg of Ampicillin capsules every six hours for ten days because you have pneumonia and I want you to take two Tylenol cold and flu severe pills to help with the symptoms that way you can get some rest."

"I just take some Tylenol cold and flu severe pills about four minutes ago, for the second time. Why I'm I sweating when I am frozen cold?"

"You fever is really high and when the Tylenol cold and flu severe pills start to work, it will lower your fever and you will not be so cold. Esme will you go get another blanket for Andrea, which will help her warm up for now. If you start to get hot, I want you to take off the top blanket."

"Ok."

At the same time Esme leave Andrea's bedroom to go and find a blanket and Carlisle stand up from the bed and walks over to the doorway. When Carlisle reaches the bedroom door, he looks at Alice and start to talk.

"Alice will you go sit on the edge of the left side of the bed and put your hand on Andrea's forehead for about a minute and half to lower Andrea's fever a little."

"Sure."

Alice walks quickly over to Andrea's bed and sits down on the bed and at the same time Carlisle walks out of the bedroom. Esme walks into the bedroom carrying a dark gray blanket, then walks over to the right side of the bed unfold the blanket and then lays the blanket over Andrea, at the same time Alice puts her right hand onto Andrea's forehead. Esme, Rosalie, Emmett and Edward leave Andrea's bedroom and Jasper walks over to the right side of the bed and sits down on the bed. Andrea looks at Alice and then looks at Jasper.

"The two of you should leave coughing my room. I do not want you to get sick."

"(Alice and Jasper) Vampire can't get sick."

"I should have coughing remember that."

"(Alice and Jasper) It is an easy thing to forget and you are running a high fever, which mean you are probably not thinking that clearly."

"I think the two of you are right."

At the same time Alice start to take her hand off of Andrea's forehead and Andrea put her head on top of Alice to stop her from taking her hand off. Alice give Andrea's a tiny smile and leaves her hand on Andrea's forehead, as Andrea starts to talk.

"Please keep your hand on my forehead it feels good and I am starting to feel less clammy and I not as cold as before."

"All right I will keep my hand on your forehead a little long, but not too much longer because I do not want to make you cold."

Andrea start coughing again and reach over to the nightstand beside the side of the bed she is laying on and pulls a handful of tissues out of the box of tissues on the nightstand. Andrea then holds one of the tissues up to her mouth and start to cough up yellow mucus into the tissues. When Andrea stop coughing up mucus, she set the used tissues onto the nightstand wrapped in an unused tissue.

"I hate being sick and being sick on Christmas is worse, because you can't coughing enjoy the holiday."

Andrea stop talking and start coughing again, five minutes later Andrea is resting and Alice has put her hands on the side of Andrea's face. Eleven and half minutes later Esme walks into Andrea's bedroom carrying a tray that has a large bowl of hot vegetables soup and a coffee mug of hot herbal tea is on the tray along with a spoon and napkin too. Esme walks over to the left side of the bed and Alice takes her hand off of Andrea's face, then stand up from the bed. Alice steps away from the bed and at the same time Andrea sits up in the bed. Esme then set the tray over Andrea's lap.

"Esme I know you mean well, but I am not hunger."

"Carlisle called and he is on his way home and he wants you to eat some vegetable's soup before you take your first does of Ampicillin and you need to drink lots of fluids to get well, so I made you some hot herbal tea to drink."

"Ok I will try to eat some of the soup, but coughing I do not think I will be able to eat the whole bowl."

"Just try Andrea."

"I will."

Esme walks out of the bedroom and Jasper and Alice follows Esme out of the bedroom. Esme, Jasper and Alice head upstairs to the first floor and at the same time Alice pick up the spoon. She puts the spoon into the bowl of vegetables' soup and gets a spoonful of soup, she then blows onto the soup to cool off the spoonful of soup. A few moments later she eats the first spoonful of soup. Andrea is on the eight spoonfuls of soup when Carlisle walks into her bedroom carrying an orange prescription bottle of Ampicillin. Carlisle walks over to the left side of the bed opening the bottle of Ampicillin. He pours one of the capsules into his left hand and when he reaches the bed Carlisle hand Andrea's the white and blue capsules. Andrea puts the Ampicillin into her mouth and then pick up the mug of hot herbal tea and take a drink. Then set the mug of herbal tea on the tray and looks up at Carlisle.

"I try to eat the spoon, but I just can't eat any more of the soup or drink any more of the tea. I just want to go to sleep."

"That is fine Andrea."

Carlisle set the bottle of Ampicillin on the nightstand and then pick up the coffee mug of tea and set it on the nightstand, so if Andrea gets thirsty she can take a drink. Carlisle then picks up the tray and walks out of Andrea's bedroom closes the bedroom door behind him. Andrea lays down and pulls the blankets up because she is still cold, but not as cold as before. Andrea closes her eyes thinking I believe that the Tylenol cold and flu severe pills have start to work because I feel less feverish, the tightness in my chest is less, I am not coughing as much, my headache is going and I am not as achy. In addition I have starting to get tired, Andrea start yawning into her right hand. A few minutes later Andrea rolls onto her left side and falls to sleep thinking about the day she had and meeting her great-grandfather for the first time, which went better then she thought it would.
