Ok here is chapter 8, I hope you all like it and you will find out who is coming to visit. I was floored at the number of reviews the last chapter got and I tried to reply to each and every one of them but it wouldn't let me. Fanfiction kept saying that I wasn't the author of the story and wouldn't allow me to reply. Thanks again to preciousfairymom80 who is the reason this story is here and going strong. She also gave me the idea for the end of this chapter. I hope you all like it!

Chapter 8
BPOV
"Alice what in the hell are you talking about? Make sure me and Edward are safe from what?" I asked her, still pissed that she interrupted Edward and I. "Alice? What did you see?"
"Bella, Edward, we have to get you out of here, we don't know what they are like…" Alice started to say but I interrupted her.
"What WHO is like? You aren't making sense Alice. What did you see?" I asked her.
"Come on!" Alice said, grabbing Edward and I by the wrists and dragging us downstairs to the living room where we found Rose and Jasper arguing.
"Rose! I had no idea they were coming! I promise you that! I haven't seen them in like 75 years anyways!" Jasper yelled at her.
"Then how in the hell did they know where you were? Huh? How Jasper? Do you even know what kind of people they are now?" Rose spat at him.
"I don't know! LIKE I SAID…I HAVEN'T SEEN THEM IN ABOUT 75 YEARS!!!" Jasper yelled back.
"Who Jasper? Peter and Charlotte?" I asked, interrupting the argument. "They were here just last year."
"No, not Peter and Charlotte. Alice saw some of the newborns I used to manage and train back during the wars" Jasper explained to me. "And I was just telling Rose that I had no clue they were coming and I don't know what they are like at all anymore."
"Bella, Edward, we need to get you guys out of here until we know, Alice saw 4 of them coming and while we outnumber them, we still don't want to put the two of you in danger" Carlisle said to me as he was coming into the room.
"Too late……." Alice said from the middle of the room and we all turned to look at her, her eyes were glossy and she was staring off in space. She suddenly snapped back and looked at us all. "They will be here in 4 minutes."
"FUCK!" Rosalie yelled and startled all of us. "It's too late now then!"
"Rosalie Hale! You will not talk like that do you hear me!" Esme scolded her and everyone else giggled as Rosalie murmured a yes ma'am.
"Ok, here is what we will do, we will just act normal and keep Bella and Edward behind us at all times until we feel out the others. Alice, are you sure there is only 4 of them?" Carlisle asked.
"Yes, only 4, 3 guys and a girl" Alice explained.
"Ok, we will just act like it is normal for Bella and Edward to be here and we will be able to tell right from the start with their eye color" Carlisle continued, handing out instructions to everyone.
"30 seconds" Alice said and everyone tensed up.
I started counting in my head as I reached for Edward's hand. He took mine in his and squeezed tightly, clearly he was nervous too. It also didn't help that both of our nerves were frayed with the events of today so far. How much more were we going to have to deal with before it was over?
Before I could answer myself the doorbell rang and Carlisle reached for the handle. Edward and I took deep breaths as Carlisle turned the handle and opened the door. There, standing on the front porch were 3 gorgeous guys and a beautiful girl, all with the same pale skin and light purple circles under their eyes, their topaz eyes. At seeing their eyes I sighed in relief and it seemed everyone else did to.
"Hello, I am Carlisle and this is my family, Esme my wife, my son Emmett and his wife Rosalie, my son Edward and his fiancé Bella, and my daughter Alice and her husband Jasper which you all apparently know. Welcome to our home, please come in" Carlisle said as he welcomed them in.
"Timmy, Wyatt, Ally! It has been ages!" Jasper said crossing the room to hug each of them. "How have you been? How did you find me? And who is your other coven member?"
"Oh this is Connor, we met him through Peter and Charlotte, they had run into him a while back and he didn't like their food choices. When we ran into them Connor asked if he could accompany us for a while and we were glad to have the company" Timmy explained.
I was looking at all of them, taking in the beauty that surrounded me. Why did vampires have to be so gorgeous? Timmy was about 6'3" with dark brown hair that was spiked up and had a thick muscular build with broad shoulders and big arms like Emmett. Wyatt was a little shorter, probably 6'2" and had the same dark brown hair but his looked like he had just woken up even though it looked great on him. When Wyatt smiled he had a dimple in his right cheek and he was lean and muscular with a slender waist and hips, similar in size to Jasper. Connor had white blond hair that was cut really short, almost a buzz cut and had a light spray of freckles across his nose. He was 6'4" and had a slightly lean build but still had broad shoulders and incredibly long legs. He had slight dimples when he smiled. Then there was Ally, she was only 4'9", shorter than Alice. She had long light brown hair that touched her butt and it had honey blond highlights running through it. She was thin and very curvy. She reminded me of a model and she also had dimples that flashed on her cheeks whenever she smiled. They were all so beautiful and I was mesmerized.
I felt a tug on my hand and realized I had been daydreaming but was brought back to the conversation.
"…and we heard about your lifestyle change about 60 years ago and decided to try it. If you could do it then so could we. Connor even was intrigued by it since he hated feeding things that had names so he was happy to pick up the lifestyle too" Wyatt had finished explaining.
"How long are you guys gonna be in town?" Jasper asked them.
"Only as long as it takes for me to have some fun!" Ally chimed in, flashing her smile at Edward and I got extremely jealous and Edward blushed.
"OH MY GOD! Are they?" Ally exclaimed and everyone tensed up and shifted to stand between them and Edward and me.
"Yes they are humans" Jasper said.
"Ohhhhh, you have pets!" Wyatt said grinning like a little kid.
"Timmy, Wyatt, Connor…. I wanna pet too!!!!!!!" Ally turned to them, begging with her hands clasped under her chin. Wyatt laughed and Timmy and Connor rolled their eyes and groaned.
"Here we go again" Connor said. "Is she going to get her way this time too?"
"No pets Ally" Timmy said, scolding her like a little kid.
"But….." Ally started and we all couldn't help ourselves but laugh at the situation.
"Hey Alice, you and her should get along well, you two are just alike!" Emmett joked and Jasper about choked on the look Alice shot him for laughing which made all of us laugh more.
"Oh sorry everyone!" Ally said sweetly, I just love humans and have been trying to talk the guys into letting me have one of my own but they keep saying no. Damn big brothers!"
"Wait big brothers? Oh yeah!" Jasper said suddenly. "I remember now that you three were siblings in real life!"
"Huh?" Alice and Emmett said at the same time.
"The three of us, Wyatt, Ally, and me, were siblings in real life. Our father was killed in 1862 during the Civil War. We were only 14, 12, and 10 then. Our mother tried to manage us and deal with being a widow but it was hard for her and she slipped into depression. She only lived for 3 years after our father was killed and then she killed herself. I tried to feed us and work to support us but it was hard work and by the time I was 21, Wyatt was 19, and Ally was 17, we were all practically skin and bones and near death from a poor diet and everything. That was when a woman came to our house seeking refuge for the night, she looked pale and sick and it was the dead of winter so we let her in. We all went to bed and I was woken up by the feel of a cold hand clamping over my mouth. I opened my eyes to find the woman standing over me and then she bit me on the neck. She had done the same to Wyatt and Ally and 3 days later Jasper came for us and took us with him" Timmy explained.
"That is so sad" Esme said softly, her first words since they had arrived.
"Well, we are fine now and we have each other so we are happy" Timmy said.
"Well, Edward, Bella, it is getting late, why don't the two of you go upstairs and get some sleep while we all stay down here and talk?" Carlisle said to Edward and me.
"Ok Carlisle" Edward said. "Goodnight everyone, Timmy, Wyatt, Connor, Ally, it was very nice to meet you and I hope to see you all tomorrow"
"Me too" I added in as Edward took my hand and led me towards the stairs, a small smile on his face. I wonder if we could pick back up where we had left off or if we would just go to sleep. As if he could read my mind Edward looked back at me and winked, a slow smile creeping onto his face as we rounded the corner and headed to bed.
Edward pulled me through the door and closed it behind us with his foot due to his hands being wrapped around me. He started pressing kisses into my neck and my heartbeat picked up suddenly at the passion he was pouring into them and I moaned in response. Edward walked me toward the bed, his lips never leaving my body and my hands found their way into his hair, tangling themselves up in his bronze locks.
He gently pushed me onto the bed underneath him and I called out his name as he buried his face into my chest. He moaned into me, answering my call of lust. Then we froze at the voice coming from downstairs.
"ISABELLA MARIE! EDWARD ANTHONY! THE TWO OF YOU BETTER STOP RIGHT NOW AND GET TO SLEEP!" Esme yelled up the stairs at us in her mom voice. Edward and I burst out laughing at being caught then went back to kissing each other.
"I MEAN IT YOU TWO! DON'T MAKE ME SEND CARLISLE UP THERE TO SEPARATE AND SEDATE YOU TWO! BED, SLEEP, NOW!" Esme yelled again and the entire downstairs erupted into laughter.
I sighed deeply then called out "YES MA'AM!" as I got up and changed quickly into a pair of sweats and a tank top. I threw Edward a wife beater and a pair of gym shorts and he quickly changed too.
We curled up in bed together, wrapping our arms together and snuggling in close. I sighed in contentment at having Edward back in my arms. If this was a dream then I never wanted to wake up from it.
"I love you" Edward whispered softly to me in the dark.
"I love you too" I said back and kissed him softly on the lips then drifted off to sleep in the arms of my life…
Well? What did you think??? The next chapter is gonna be awesome! I promise! Just think of slinky little dresses, high heels, and dirty dancing.................. Oh and if you leave a review after the beep Edward will dream of you...... BEEP!!!
