Once we were back in the car, the rest of the ride went rather smoothly, Hannah and Danny napping nearly the entire time. With only about twenty minutes until we reached dad's place, the twins woke up and began asking a million questions.

"What should we call your momma, mom?" Danny asked first, bouncing in his seat as we passed the 'Welcome to Forks' sign.

"Uh, she'll probably tell you what she wants you to call her, if not-well, we'll improvise," I replied, fingers drumming on the steering wheel.

"What about your sister?"

Ah, that was an even harder question. "I have no clue about that one...just call her Bella."

"Where's the weddin'?"

"I dunno ."

"Is it outside?"

"I hope not," if it was, they were really risking the wedding being rained out. While the rain isn't as constant in the summer months, there was still chances of anything from just a light sprinkle to a torrential down-pour.

"Are we meetin' them today?"

"You're gonna see your papaw today, and all the others tomorrow, since it's so late," I explained, turning from main street to the road that led to dad's.

"Do you think they'll like us?"

I smile and look back at them,"Of course they will baby, what's not to like?" I just hoped Bella won't start any of her shit when she meets the twins. "And here's your papaw's house!" I said, pulling into the drive.

The house looked as it always had. The pure white panels, the green steps that lead up to the door, the faded blue of the window edging. Dad's police car sat in the driveway, along with another vehicle that I didn't recognize, but man was it nice. I parked behind dad and turned off the car.

I twisted around to look at the twins, "You ready?"

Hannah shook her head eagerly, while Danny flashed an anxious smile.

"Alrighty, let's go. Grab your bags."

I ended up carrying all the bags.

As we walked up the path I could she the silhouette of dad walking across the living room to meet us at the door, and then the door being thrown open with dad standing in front of it.

"Joie," dad said warmly, a small smile gracing his face," Here, let me take some of those."

"Thanks," I said passing over two of the four bags too him. I nudged the kids inside and dropped the other two bags underneath the coat rack. Dad put the others right next to them and smiled again.

"Well look at you two," he said crouching down so that he was at eye-level with the twins." You've gotten bigger since I last saw you two, next time you'll be the size of giants!"

They both giggled and hugged him."Hi, papaw!" they said, their skinny arms wrapped around his neck.

Dad chuckled and returned the hug for a few moments before letting go and standing back up. " Lookin' good Joie, how's California been treating you?" He asked as we hugged, my face in the crook of his neck.

I breathed in, the familiar smell of salt water and cologne reminded me of my childhood. I hugged him tighter,"It's been good,dad. It's been good." I let him go, then look down at the twins. "Hey, about you go put your things in the guest room, while me and papaw talk. The room is just down that hall and on the left."

Danny nodded and reached for his bag and Hannah followed suit, both of them dragging their bags down to their room.

"The house looks good dad, never seen it so clean before," I said jokingly as we walked into the living room. I took a seat on the couch while dad sat in his armchair.

"Alice wanted the house sparkling clean before you all showed up, so we cleaned the house top to bottom this morning."

"Alice?" I asked, and tried to put the name to a face, but no such luck.

"She's Bella's best friend, and Edward's sister," dad explained.

"Oh, right, mom told me about her. But who's Edward?"

Dad frowned and ran a hand through his hair," How much do you know about the wedding?"

Cheeks heating up, I replied," Uh, pretty much nothing if I'm being honest."

Dad shook his head,"Well-"

"Mom!" Danny shouted down the hall, "Did you really wear braces when you were a kid?"

"Sorry Joie, your room has pretty much been untouched since you graduated," Dad said apologetically.

Ah, great, who know's what they'll find.

At The Cullen's House

"Charlie said that Josie will be coming here with her kids tomorrow," Bella said as she laid her phone back down on the table.

"You know, I kind of wish that I had Charlie clean the living room instead of your sister's, I'm dying to know what she looks like," Alice said, laying against Jasper.

Bella scoffed," Trust me, her high school pictures look nothing like her now, well, at least I hope not."

"Why do you say that Bella?" Esme asked.

"She dyed her hair a lot: red, purple, blue, et cetera. I hope she's dropped that habit."

"Well, if she's dyed it recently, I can make it work," Alice said, confidence in her voice.

Bella said nothing in return.

A/N: Sorry it's been such a long time since last update! I have two questions for you all though:

Would you like Josie to become involved (romantically) with someone? Who?

and

Do you want her to find out about the Big Secret?
