Ms Call was a very lovely woman how obviously enjoyed to embarrass her son. She was a small, thin woman, not much taller than Jaq, with Embry's face. She had long black straight Indian hair which she wore in a tribal decorated scarf. She had a kind face and her aura reflected that. Her aura was a bright yellow, the colour of cheerfulness, but there was a large patch of grey at the edge. Jaq could see this was a woman with a sad past.

"Mom, this is Jaq, Jaq this is my mom."

"Hello Jaq."

"Hi Ms Call." Jaq smiled shyly.

"Oh call me Meggie." She smiled back. "I must say Jaq, you're quite the looker."

Just one of the many side effects of being a vampire... Jaq thought.

"Mom..." Embry groaned.

"What? I was just being friendly."

"Just...just don't."

Meggie smiled at Jaq again and turned to Connor. "And who's this strapping young man?"

"I'm Connor." He grinned confidently. "I'm twelve."

"Are you really? Embry you never told me that. That's the same age as our Ben. He'll be back soon. You'll be able to meet him before you go to this bonfire."

"Wicked."

"Speaking of which Embry," Meggie turned to him and he cringed. "I don't think you should be going out to this Bonfire tonight. Not when you're already in a whole load of trouble in school for not tuning up. I think you need to cut down on these evenings and stop sneaking out at night. It's making you too tired to work."

"Mom I…"

Luckily for Embry the front door opened and a Middle school kid walked in.

"Hey mom," He greeted her as he ditched his stuff on the floor. "Hey annoying big brother." He nodded at Embry.

"Hey squirt."

"Ben," Meggie smiled. "This is Jaq, Embry's girlfriend and her son Connor."

Embry slapped his forehead with his palm, absolutely mortified.

"Oh no… he's not…" Jaq flushed. "He's my little brother."

"Oh, sorry dear."

"We live with our older brother Nathan we came to visit the Cullens. Esme is Connor's godmother you see." That was the story that they'd worked out between them.

"Oh how lovely. I do so love that family." Meggie smiled. "That Carlisle is certainly quite a dish. Such a shame he's married."

Embry cringed and Jaq suppressed a smile.

"Wanna see my new Xbox?" Ben asked Connor.

"Yeah!"

They ran out the door and up the stairs. Jaq smiled, glad that Connor was finally around someone his own age and species.

"So Jaq, are you planning on staying in the area long?"

"Well actually yes. At the moment we're looking around for a house. Carlisle's found Nathan a job at the hospital and we're staying with his family until we've got somewhere."

The time passed quickly Jaq talked with Meggie as Embry cringed in the background at everything his mother said. Finally Embry looked at his watch.

"Okay well we'd better be going." He said.

Jaq nodded. "I'll go get Connor."

As she walked up the stairs she heard the conversation in the kitchen where she'd just left.

"…very pretty girl." Meggie was saying. "Are you sure she's not related to the Cullens? They're all very beautiful like that. I can only imagine how good looking any child of hers would be."

"Mom…" Embry said quietly. "Jaq can't have kids."

"What do you mean?"

"She was… in an accident a few years ago. It damaged her really badly."

Jaq almost laughed. Well that was one way of putting it.

"Oh, that's such a shame. She seems like such a nice girl."

Jaq carried on up the stairs to get Connor. When she'd finally pried him away from the Xbox and his new best friend with a promise of another meeting, they walked back down to the kitchen.

"Well it was nice meeting you Jaq and Connor." Meggie said as they made for the front door.

"It was lovely to meet you too Ms C- … Meggie."

"Bye!" Connor waved and they left the house.

"Urgh that was so bad." Embry cringed as they walked to the car. "Why does she have to be like that with everyone?"

"I liked her. You're lucky to even have a mum Embry."

"I guess."

"What's that?" Connor asked as we passed the shed. I looked up to where he was pointing to. Poking out the doorway was the wheel to a bike.

"That's my dirt bike."

"You have a dirt bike?"

"Awesome!"

"I'll give you a lesson on it soon if you want kid."

"Yeah!"

Jaq laughed at his enthusiasm and got in the car.

Aww don't you think Meggie's so cute ^.^ I love embarrassing parents... not when mine are though .

So anyway... WOOHOO my laptop has finally been fixed so the story of Jaq and Embry can continue! Doesn't it feel great? I've also worked out that I can go on this website in my school :D How cool is that?
