I don't own this...Sorry it's a little short I'm buggered...

'Hi Bella!' Alice greeted excitedly, she pecked my cheek and threw her arms around me, I hugged her back tightly.

'Hey Alice.' She pulled back after a second or two and stepped aside so I could greet the rest of my family.

Esme hugged me at once, squeezing me tightly, 'We missed you so much Bella.'

'I missed you guys too.'

Next Carlisle came and pulled me into a hug, 'It's so good to see you Bella.'

I nodded against his shoulder and he stepped back. Jasper stood just a few feet away, he smiled warmly at me, and took a step forward. I saw Alice nod at him from the corner of my eye and he came closer, he grabbed hold of my hand and whispered, 'I can't believe how much I missed you.' Then he too wrapped his arms around me, but he held them very loosely around my shoulders.

I was a little shocked, usually Jasper never came closer than absolutely necessary, trying to avoid hurting me. After I recovered I hugged him tightly back, but then he pulled away.

We made our way into the lounge room and sat down. Alice and Esme sat on either side of me, and Esme placed a hand on my leg.

'How have you been?' Carlisle asked.

I shrugged a little, I knew Jacob had told them all the gory details. I fought the tears in my throat and lowered my gaze. Esme patted my leg, 'Bella?'

I shook my head, 'I'm OK...I'm OK.' I tried to put on a smile, they didn't try to bring it up with me again.

We talked for a little bit, but after a while Esme said, 'You look exhausted Bella.'

'I've been having a little trouble sleeping.' I admitted.

'I have that problem too.' Jasper joked, smiling slightly.

We all laughed at that, but then my stomach growled. 'Hmm, I guess I should get dinner.'

I started to get up but Esme pushed me down. 'Stay here, I will get you something to eat. Alice can you go get Bella some blankets?'

Esme was cooking in the kitchen, Carlisle and Jasper were cleaning, while Alice tried to keep me from helping.

Sometime during our conversation Alices face fell into a pout.

'Whats wrong?' I asked.

'I have nothing against Jacob, I just hate not being able to see the future.' she sulked.

I smiled at the thought of Jacob coming here, he had been out on wolf duty today. It had taken me all morning to convince him and Charlie that I would be OK by myself. And even then they had Emily stay with me until the Cullen's called to say they were a few minutes away. It was good to know that what ever was going on with Sam and the Cullen's, Emily's and my friendship wasn't hurt by the fact that I still chose to spend time with them aswell.

I heard the rustling of keys and then Jacob made his way, cautiously, into the lounge room.

'Hi Jacob.' Alice greeted.

To both mine and Jacob's surprise she stood up and hugged him, but her tiny arms were unable to wrap completely around him. He patted her back a little then pulled back.

'Uh, hi...Alice.' He smiled as he turned his gaze to me, 'Bella.'

'Hey Jake.' He kissed my cheek and sat down infront of me, Alice came to sit next to me again.

A sudden wave of exhaustion hit me then, I snuggled into the blankets and closed my eyes. I was in a state just between sleep and awareness when I heard Alice murmur, 'Thank you for taking care of her.'

'I didn't do it for you.' Jacob muttered, his voice gruff.

'Yeah I know, but we were all worried sick about her. I couldn't believe the state she was in when we left.'

'I think she's getting better now...She's been happier. Especially when she found out about all of you coming home.' Jacob's voice was grateful, 'I never thought I'd be so glad to have a bunch of bloodsuckers in the neighbourhood...Er I mean vampires, sorry Bella hates it when I call you that.'

Alice laughed, her voice tinkling.
