I didn't do much else for the rest of the week except stare at Brady and Elena. I mean, why would I want to do anything else? Also, I was still a bit sore from their birth and my dad had pretty much confined me to my bed. It was heavenly thought; Jacob stayed by my side and Rosalie brought me cups of blood to regain health. I'd gone off meat again; the smell made me feel sick these days. We were getting used to the twins diets now- Elena couldn't drink blood and Brady couldn't get enough of it. It seemed like our guesses on who they took after were correct.

Even though only a week had passed I was shocked at how much the twins had grown- Elena's hair was noticably longer and Brady seemed to be teething. I flipped this over in my mind trying to decide how I felt about it. They were growing at a slower rate than I had, but still too fast for everyone else's liking.

I thought about my own life and how quickly I had grown up. I'd had twins by age eight, which was obviously something that didn't seem possible, but then again, how was I possible? In my time, I'd never felt like I'd missed anything much. I'd been to high school and it didn't work for me. I didn't fit in with the humans and there was no point pretending. I had my family who were my best friends and I had Jacob, so there was nothing for me to miss. When I was younger I'd played dress up with Alice, went swimming with Emmett and Jasper, and went to the playground with Rosalie. I'd done all the normal things a child should, only they were over sooner. But I wouldn't take any of it back. Still, looking at my children, I finally understood what my mom felt like when she had me. I wanted them to have a stress free childhood and keep them sheltered from all the bad things in the world. I wanted to keep them away from anything that could hurt them; from high school boys to evil vampires.

I picked up Elena and kissed her little forehead. She was blowing bubbles from her mouth. One popped and she let out a giggle. I couldn't help but laugh along with her. "How's my two favorite girls doing?" I whipped my head around to see Jacob holding Brady and grinning.

"Better than ever." I laughed. "So happy."

Jacob nodded and sat down on the bed looking at Brady. "It's funny, isn't it? I remember when it was you and all I knew was that I needed to protect you from everything and anything. I never thought I'd feel that in the same strong sense again."

I squirmed awkwardly; I never knew what to say when Jacob talked about me when I was born. It wasn't fair, I never got to see him go through any awkward stage. "Yeah, it's weird."

Jacob lay Brady down on the bed and touched his head. "I have to go now."

"Where?" I asked, curious as what would make Jacob want to leave us so soon.

"It's Brady's funeral..." He trailed off, looking out the window at the ever present rain.

I sat in silence for a moment, feeling guilty. In the pleasure of having the twins, Brady's funeral had escaped my mind. I knew Kaitlyn's had been two days ago, and that they were being buried together so it was going to be soon, but I was too happy to even think of something so sad. Before I knew it, tears were pouring down my cheeks. I lay Elena beside her brother and threw myself onto Jake, crying against his chest. He stroked my hair. "How can I be so happy when that happened?" I choked out. He sat down on the bed and pulled me onto his knee.

"Listen to me. This is not your fault. The Children of the Moon came for the pack, not for the vampires, remember? In fact, if you hadn't been there more people would have died. Ususally its the pack helping the vampires, but this time it was the vampires coming to help us. You coming into this world had made everything a hundred times better, don't you see? If it wasn't for you the pack would have attacked the Cullen's ages ago and I... well I don't knew where I'd be right now without you. But my point is that you couldn't have stopped this. It's over now, and Brady won't be forgotten, and neither will Kaitlyn." He wiped the tears from my cheeks as my sobs faded and kissed me.

"I'm going." I stood up and took his hand.

"You can't. Carlisle said you have to rest."

I waved my hand dismissively. "Carlisle says a lot of stuff, I lose track of everything."

Jacob grinned and touched my stomach. I determindly kept my body still. "You sure?"

"Yes. And I want the twins there. They would have loved him like he would have loved them."

Jacob hesitated for a minute. I stared him straight in the eyes and watched them soften; I had won. "Okay."

"Good." I flashed him a smile and ran downstairs and my vampire speed.

Rosalie, Alice, Esme and my mom were sitting around a coffee table. Mom jumped up when she noticed me and was in front of me before I blinked. "What's wrong?" I knew she was going to say that before the words got out of her mouth.

"Nothing, I just wanted to tell you I'm going to Brady's funeral. And don't argue with me because if it was you I know you would be doing it too."

Mom bit her lip and looked over her shoulder and the others. "That's true, Bella." Alice chimed. "And Rose, don't put that one in, Bella dressed them that day." She screwed up her nose.

"What are you doing?" I asked, walking over to were they were sitting.

Alice slammed a book shut and I could guess what they were doing, they'd barely had the camera out of their hnds the past week. "Don't be nosey, Renesmee! Why won't anyone in this house let me surprise them!" She flounced away muttering to herself. Rose and Esme exchanged a glance and grinned.

"We'll go together." Mom said, ignoring the moment that had passed. I agreed with this; mom had been always good friends with the whole pack.

"Where's daddy? I listened to the house. "Actually, where's everyone else?"

Mom sighed. "Edward's gone with Carlisle to get more blood pouches for you, and Emmett and Jasper are hunting." She pouted her lips and I smiled. Mom always pouted when dad went away for any amount of time. Then I heard a cry from up stairs and turned my back on them.

"Someone help me dress the twins!" I shouted back as I ran up the stairs again. Jacob was rocking Elena is his arms and staring at Brady with a horrified look on his face. "I can't handle two of them crying at once!" He groaned.

I picked up Brady and bounced him gently. "Why are they crying?"

Jacob frowed. "Elena bit him and he fought back."

"Fought?" I raised my eyebrows at the idea of my one week old baby fighting.

"Well... he threw his arms around and hit her a few times and she started crying and then he did!"

I looked at Brady's arm and sure enough there was a tiny pink mark where his sister had bit him. "They really do need to learn to get along."

"We ould just force them to be together, it worked for me and Edward." Jacob smirked.

"Oh, haha." I replied sarcastically.

"I'll take her." Rose came in and held her arms out for Elena.

"Good, I can go get ready. Thanks Blondie- er I mean Rosalie." Rosalie look at him with her eyes narrowed for a moment and then relaxed them. "Nah, that's too weird. But no problem, mutt." She laughed when she said it, but it was no longer the cold, obnoxious laugh she once done around Jacob, being replaced by genuine humour and happiness. I couldnt help but smile at her and walked out of the room just to meet mom and give her Brady to change. "Black, please."

She rolled her eyes at me and muttered. "I'm not stupid."

I walked back into the room and shut the door behind me, leaving me and Jacob alone for the first time it what seemed like a lifetime. "Wow."

"I know." He said, looking straight into my eyes. I was drawn in by him, walking closer and throwing my arms around his neck.

"I love you."

"And I love you more." He kissed me before I could argue and I marvelled at the heat from him. I missed this. The moments when we were together and it seemed like nothing else exsist except me and Jacob and our need to be together. I pulled his shirt off and kissed his scars which had not completely healed yet. He pulled me to the bed and pulled me on top of him as I giggled at his eagerness. I bent forward to kiss his lips again but let out a whimper instead. Jake immediately sat up and put me on the edge of the bed. "That's not resting." He laughed. "Are you okay?"

I nodded. "Ooops." I grinned. Jacob helped me get changed into a black cotton dress and then put his own suit on and we went downstairs.

Esme and Rose were holding the twins and mom came downstairs dressed, looking awkward. Rose looked up at us and said "nice of you to join us." I blushed and remembered the reason why Jacob and I had gotten our own cottage. Stupid vampire hearing. Elena had been dressed in her own little black dress her dark ringlets fell around her wondering face. She looked adorable as she blew rasperrys at her brother who wore black trousers that contrasted so well with his pale skin. I took Jacob's hand as we left the house, feeling a mixture of emotions.

Brady's funeral was beautiful. I cried from start to finish. Sam made a speech and he spoke with such passion that everyone was reduced to tears. It was half an hour when he came to a conclusion. "There are no words to describe the feeling of loss we are all suffering right now. It's more than the loss of a friend; it was the loss of a brother. He died in an act of heroism, trying to save the girl he loved more than anything else in the world, and that's how he'll be remembered. As the selfless, loyal, kind, hilarious and loving person that he was. No-one will ever forget him and his memory will be with us everyday. Brady will never really leave this pack- even in his death."

Everyone in the room clapped and wiped their eyes. The twins were restless so my mom had taken them out to Alice and Esme who were in the car to mind for a while. They had wanted to come but were anxious of the reactions of the pack members who were not yet accustomed to vampires, so stayed at a distance to pay their respects. Brady was laid to rest beside Kaitlyn and everyone was able to say their final goodbyes. I was so glad I came to support the pack who were just like another family to me. After a while, Sam invited most of the guests back to his house for a celebration of Brady and Kaitlyn's lives. Most of the pack were coupled up now, and them and their respective partners made their way towards Sam's. Seth however, hung back to talk to me.

"Uh, Nessie? You didn't bring the twins by any chance?" He said in what sounded like a hopeful voice.

"Yeah, they're outside with Alice. Want to meet them?"

His face looked anxious and he turned away. "I can't right now, lot to do. Maybe later..." And he was gone before I could question his behaviour.

We arrived at Sam's not long later with the twins and my mom and everyone was circled around the kitchen table, where Emily had lay out a vast selection of food consisting of mostly meat. I tried not to breathe too much as the smell made me nauseous. Everyone was welcoming the twins and they were being doted over even more than they got back home. I searched the room for Emily to see if she had some cookies that I could eat, and was surprised to see her head bent close to Leah's and laughing. They looked so happy together and more like sister's than even friends. Leah flicked her hair over her shoulder and waved at me, grinning. I waved back turned to Jake, but he was gone. He was talking to Seth in a hushed manner in the corner and he looked almost stressed.

I held Elena in my arms as Jacob threw his hands up in the air and came over to me. "Guess what Seth's just gone and done." He sighed, as I glanced over at Seth. He didn't even notice me, because he was too busy looking helplessly at the baby girl in my arms as if she was the only thing that mattered.
