A/N: So I told you the next chapter would be up soon. Great for you guys that I had a snow day from school today.

Start the new job tomorrow though.

FYI this chapter might get confusing.

A lot of new characters and old

This chapter took a lot of research and I am not kidding with that one.

Drop me a line if you get confused

And thanks to all of you who leave me reviews. I try to reply to them if I'm not in a hurry but I do appreciate you reviewing, most times every chapter.

Enjoy.

Chapter 14

The ride back home seemed to take forever, having to drive the actual speed limit due to the top speed of the U-Haul. I drove up the long driveway and pulled up to the side of the house. I got out and walked to the front door to see Alice standing and waiting for me.

"Oh my God, what are you wearing? We can't have this, we need to get you dressed and ready. Come on, we have no time."

She grabbed my arm and pulled me at lightning speed up to her bathroom. I was still wearing my old sweats and holey shirt.

"Why are you wearing this," she asked pulling me into a chair and starting on my hair.

"I just needed to reminisce of old times is all."

"Where were you?"

"I packed up my father's house."

"Oh my God Bella. Why didn't you tell me? I could've have helped you instead of planning this party."

"What party," I yelled getting my hair yanked in the process.

"It's not yours it's for Renesmee. I figured that it's been a while since all of us have been together and there should be a signifying moment for her. She deserves it. Plus it's a last hoorah before we leave Forks for a while."

"That is so sweet Alice. She is really going to love it."

"I hope so. It took a lot to get everybody here."

"Alice everything that you do for Nessie she appreciates. She loves you to death."

Alice smiled in the mirror for a moment and then it disappeared. "So why didn't you tell me?"

"It's just something that I needed to do on my own. I didn't even let Edward go in with me. I have nothing against you Alice it was just really hard for me."

"I understand I guess."

"The house is gone now though."

"Really? I didn't even know that it was for sale."

"It wasn't. I was starting to pack everything into the back of the truck and Angela drove by. She helped me carry everything out and we talked a little bit. She has a daughter on the way and I figured that they would appreciate my house to start their family. I just want their kids to have a good childhood, with a big backyard and everything. I didn't want them to have to live in an apartment."

"That is really sweet of you," she said twisting my hair into a bun. "You didn't need to do that."

"Angela was always such a good friend to me and it was just necessary in order for me to let go. I kept a few things of my father's and pictures and such. I also kept his chair."

"That is completely reasonable Bella."

"So…who all is coming to this thing?"

Alice went over the guest list with me and I nodded every time until she mentioned Jacob.

"Why did you invite him?"

"I invited him a long time ago, before everything happened with Nessie. And if we are moving out east I'm sure that no matter how upset Nessie is she will want to say goodbye to him."

"And of course you can't see the outcome."

"Nope."

"How are you dealing with that anyways?"

"I'm dealing with it a little bit better. I don't get so upset anymore when I'm blocked out. I'm also learning to make decisions for myself."

"And you and Jasper are doing alright?"

"A lot better now actually. It seemed that the talk that you two had made him so much more understanding and me also. He helped me see things in a different way. I needed to make sure that I was going to be okay no matter what decision I made."

"I'm so happy for you Alice, that is amazing."

"Okay I'm done," she said dropping the curling iron to the counter. "Come on, it's almost 5, we've got to get you dressed. I already picked out a dress for you."

"Of course you did."

"Don't worry its not too fancy, but it is very cute."

"And heels?"

"No heels, you've filled your quota for those this month."

"Thank God," I said standing up from the chair. I made my way into Alice's closet and she handed me a simple black dress. It had very short sleeves that we knitted openly and it went down to just above my knees. She handed me a pair of black flats to go with it before leaving me to get dressed. Her dress, however, was anything but simple. It was a very colorful silk chiffon dress that looked like a tie-dyed mixture of light purple, dark purple, white, teal and black with a black belt that made it look like an empire waist that went down to just above her knees. She paired it with a pair of black heels.

"Come on, they will be home soon."

We left her bathroom and went downstairs. Who was there surprised me. I didn't even hear anybody upstairs and as I walked down the stairs I really saw that Alice went all out. All of our friends and family were there. I noticed that Edward and Nessie weren't back yet and it kind of made me feel lonely. I had never spent this much time away from either of them and they had probably been worried sick.

All of the girls were dressed in dresses, which was kind of weird for me to see. Apparently Alice had been having a little bit too much fun with this because most of the females looked a little bit uncomfortable to say the least. All of our friends that I had meant back when the Volturi were coming were standing in the living room; minus a few but then again there were also some new additions.

"Come on Bella," Alice said quietly grabbing my hand. She led me down the stairs and into the mass of vampires and werewolves. There were only two humans that I could see but there were 6 heartbeats amongst them. I walked into the kitchen to say hello to Billy and Sue who were around the plates of food.

"So how did you manage to get this food away from Jake and Seth," I asked sarcastically giving Billy a hug. "You're looking good Billy."

"So are you Bells, just as beautiful as ever." He gave me a kiss on the cheek before I moved over to Sue and gave her a kiss.

"Sue, how does it feel to have your only daughter married?"

"A little weird but Jake is the best man for her. He is a good guy."

"Yeah he is."

"Let's just hope that Seth isn't getting married any time soon."

I laughed at her comment. "I don't think so." The thought of Seth getting married anytime soon just seemed impossible to me. He was still so young and there wasn't anybody that I could think of him being with. I talked with them for a little while and made my way through the crowd.

"Bella," I heard somebody yell. It wasn't a voice that I was familiar with. I looked over and saw Nahuel walking over to me, with 4 beautiful women walking behind him. I smiled as I walked over to him and gave him a hug. He had been such a big help to us when the Volturi were coming after Renesmee. It also brought hope to me that my daughter would turn out to be okay even after a hundred or so years.

"Oh Nahuel, it's so good to see you again. Thank you so much for what you did. I don't think I ever got a chance to thank you."

"I didn't get a chance to thank you either." I looked at him puzzled. "You guys finally gave me the confidence to stand up to my father. When I returned home I searched for him. It took me longer than I had expected it to. I wanted to talk to him and tell him how bad of a man he was and that nobody deserved to be treated the way that he was making it out to be. I did find him but I didn't end up talking to him. I guess that all of the hate that I had for him came out all at once and I ended up destroying him. My poor sisters didn't know what to think or what to do without my father. So now they are with me and I would like to introduce you to them."

He turned around and I could see the resemblance between the three of the girls and Nahuel. "Guys, this is Bella, remember I was telling you about her family."

The three girls at once ran up to me and gave me a gigantic hug. When they stepped back, they looked a little embarrassed but I just smiled to them.

"This is my oldest sister Makeeda," he said pointing at the shortest of the girls. She looked the most like Nahuel with red-black straight hair that went just below her shoulders and narrow eyes. Her smile was exuberant as I looked at her. Her eyes were a gray color, the same color that I noticed all of this family had. She was wearing a tan sweetheart top dress with embellishments around her chest and sheer layered fabric flowing out of it.

"Alice gave this to me, she said that it suits me."

"Tell me about it. Alice is like that with everybody.

"I know," said the sister next to her. "I'm Naira by the way," she said extending her hand.

"It's nice to meet you."

"You too. She got to me too." Naira was darker skinned then her brother and sisters but she was absolutely beautiful. She had wide eyes and dark brown hair with little hints of blonde highlights and her hair was in loose curls all the way down to her waist. "I'm not used to being dressed up like this." She was in a light tan dress with thin straps over both shoulders and a little bit of a v-neck that flowed from an empire waist just halfway down her thigh. "However, I do think that I could get used to her."

"It takes a while for that to happen," I said thinking about my wonderful sister. "She's very persistent and knows what she wants and what you want. That's the wonderful thing about being able to see the future."

"She sees the future," Naira asked.

"Yes she does but it's just subjective. The future can always change."

Naira seemed very interested in Alice's powers and left to go and find her.

"You remember my aunt Huilen," Nahuel said as his aunt came out from behind his other sister.

"Yes, it's nice to see you again," I said giving her a quick hug. "And who are you," I asked looking at Nahuel's other sister.

"My name is Adisa," she replied quickly. She looked uncomfortable in the leopard printed dress that Alice had put her in. It was dark brown around her chest with a halter-top looping around her neck and flowed out in layers of sheer leopard print fabric just passed her knees. Her skin was very light and had hair that resembled Renesmee's. It was a beautiful brown with tight curls down to the middle of her back and she was very beautiful, just like her sisters, but she seemed very quiet.

I talked with Nahuel for a little while longer before excusing myself quickly. Alice grabbed my arm.

"We need to get everybody upstairs so that Edward can bring Renesmee downstairs with me really quick. I want to get her dressed."

"Alright."

We rushed everybody upstairs and told everyone to be quiet. I could see Tanya in against the far wall of the hallway. She looked very annoyed by having to be quiet as she stood with her arms crossed across her chest. She was wearing a very revealing silver halter-top dress that seemed to expose her cleavage to no end. I just smirked at her as she gave me an evil look before looking away. She still wasn't one of my favorite people. I had yet to see Jake or any of his tribe members but I wasn't particularly looking for them either. I was more so trying to figure out whom the new people where.

They stood beside Garrett a few feet in front of me. There were two males and two females. The two women looked to be best friends and their mates standing beside them. I noticed the color of their eyes, light bronze colored just like ours. So there were other vegetarians besides the Denalis and us.

One female was dressed in a beautiful light and dark blue bubble dressed with bare legs and knee high white boots. She had medium brown hair that curled slightly down to her waist. She had a very athletic build and a beaming personality; I could see that from this far away. The man on her arm was dressed in a pair of light blue jeans and a light blue polo shirt that matched his light blonde hair perfectly. He was tall and lanky; his mate seemed to be stronger than he was. He was around Jasper's height and could never take his eyes off of her.

The female was holding the hand of the other girl with them. She was around my height, with extremely curly dirty blonde hair. She was wearing a bright light blue silk dress with a silver embellishment in the middle of her chest and was spaghetti straps that went to just above her knees. She had a more round figure, almost identical to Esme's so I wondered what had happened to her. The man on her arm reminded me of a lighter haired Emmett. He was very tall and imposing with chiseled features. He towered over her but that seemed to make her feel safer. He was dressed casually with a light shirt on with a pair of cargo pants on.

I heard Renesmee come in and Alice rush her downstairs. Very quietly everybody went downstairs and I made it a point to talk to Garrett and Kate's friends as soon as possible. Edward came up the stairs and rushed into our room where an outfit was already waiting for him on the bed. I walked over to him and he wrapped me into a tight hug.

"How's my love doing?"

"I'm doing good."

"You look absolutely stunning."

"Thank you." I placed a quick kiss on his lips before he got undressed and then redressed.

"Did you take care of everything?"

"Yeah and I wanted to apologize to you."

"For what," he said with a little chuckle. "You didn't do anything wrong."

"I should have had you stay last night."

"I understood why you sent me away and I don't have an issue with that. You needed to be alone to deal with everything. I don't mind one bit, I promise. I had a lot of fun with Nessie."

"What did you guys do?"

"We drove around for a long time before deciding exactly where to hunt and I have to tell you, she drives better than you do."

"How fast was she going," I asked in a motherly tone.

"Not too fast, just a little bit faster than you. But it was great to see how her eyes lit up while she was driving. I love looking into her eyes, just like her mother's."

I felt like I wanted to blush when he was talking. He always had that effect on me.

"So did you know that Alice was doing this?"

"No but when I pulled up to the house and heard all the thoughts I knew that something was up. She told me that it was a party for Nessie and such and my outfit was upstairs."

He took my hand and led me down the hall. Even dressed in a pair of simple jeans and a button up shirt he looked like the most gorgeous creature that I had ever seen. We joined everybody else in the living room and awaited Renesmee's arrival. Alice came out first.

"On the count of three," she whispered slightly.

By the time three came out we all yelled surprise to Renesmee who stood shocked at the entrance to the living room. She looked absolutely gorgeous in a light blue dress with silver stitching through out her waist. The dress just seemed to suit her perfectly. It was young and very stylish. I wanted to cry. My little girl was all grown up. I ran across the room to her and wrapped her into a tight embrace.

"Mom," she yelled in my ear wrapping her arms around me. It had felt like forever since we had been next to each other. "I missed you."

"I missed you too baby."

Edward came up behind us and wrapped his arms around us. "My daughter you look absolutely beautiful."

"Thanks, I picked it out myself."

"Did you know about this?"

"No but I had a feeling. Aunty Alice was acting strange." She paused for a moment. "Stranger than usual at least."

I smiled and gave her a kiss on the forehead before she was yanked away by Emmett. Rosalie stood behind him with a big smile on her face waiting for her turn. She was wearing a halter-top red bubble dress that she looked amazing in. Rosalie, however, looked stunning in absolutely everything. I took this as my chance to talk to the new people. I walked over to Garrett and Kate and gave them both a hug.

"How have you been," Garrett asked wrapping me into a hug.

"I've been great. How are you doing?"

"Amazing. Life with Kate is absolutely amazing."

"How's the whole vegetarian thing going?"

"Good, I've only cheated once."

"Once in almost 7 years isn't bad at all. That's great." I paused for a moment and looked at the 4 new vampires standing behind them. "Who are they," I asked quietly. He paused for a moment and smiled.

"Sorry, Bella this is Ann," he said pulling me to shake hands with the athletic woman. "This is Alex," he said as I shook his hand of the woman's mate. "And this is Carrie and John," he said introducing me to the other couple. "Very talented group they are."

"Are you guys vegetarians," I asked looking at Ann.

"Yeah we are."

"Originally from,"

"The east coast. John here was living down south and the rest of us were living in Massachusetts. Carrie and I have been best friends forever, since before we were born and one night we were driving home from the club when we got our car wrapped around a tree. We were both in excruciating pain and it felt like I was going to die. But then our angels here," she said looking up at Alex and John. "They saved us. The pain then intensified but we all have been together ever since. Alex and John have known each other for quite a while and neither of them believed in killing humans so once Carrie and I were turned we followed their rules."

"How did you guys meet the Denalis?"

"We were traveling around trying to find different animals to feast on when Garrett and Kate came out of no where, trying to attack the same animal as we were. And from then on we've all been good friends. They told us that they wanted us to meet their family."

"Family we are. I'm Bella by the way."

"Kind of figured that one. Sorry about talking so much, that's just the way that I am. I just don't even really know when to shut up."

"That's perfectly fine."

"So do you have any powers," Carrie asked me. She looked very sweet and innocent in the way that she dressed and in the way that she talked.

"Yeah but it's not much. I just have a shield. I can protect people from psychological harm. What about you?"

"Well I have the power to smooth emotions, kind of like keeping the peace. John here has the telekinetic powers. He can cause objects to come to him by using his mind. Alex has the ability to stop time and Ann can form an electric charge with her body and throw it at an opponent, like being able to use a tazzer from a distance."

"You guys really are a talented group."

"I told you so," Garrett stated before returning to his conversation with Carlisle.

I spoke with the coven of 4 for a while. They all seemed to be very nice and trustworthy, all of them speaking to me as if we had known each other for years. Alex and John had been friends for years, coming across each other one day around 15 years prior. Then they met Ann and Carrie 8 years later. I knew that I was going to become friends with Ann almost immediately after meeting her. She had such an upbeat personality and she was so funny and energetic. She really never did stop talking for very long.

I eventually made my way away from them and talked to some of my other friends. Zafrina had made her way up to the states and I was glad. I missed her so much. She had been such a big help with me trying to learn how to use my powers. I had visited her around 6 months after they left but never returned because of what happened to Charlie.

At the end of the night Carlisle had to make an announcement. It seemed like the best time to ask all of our friends for help against the Volturi. The living room was now split up into the groups of covens and friends and nomads. Most of them agreed. Half of the Egyptian Coven had agreed. Amun and Kebi respectfully declined, saying that they wanted no part in it. However, when Benjamin had said yes and Tia followed, Amun wasn't too happy. He had always been paranoid that Carlisle would steal Benjamin away from him and wasn't pleased when Benjamin had agreed to fight for Carlisle. Tia followed because she could imagine her life without Benjamin, even if it was for a short period of time.

The Irish Coven was next, a group of 3 strong. All agreed. Siobhan thought that the Volturi were uncivilized vampires and there was no need for their rule anymore. Her mate Liam and their other coven member Maggie agreed upon her request. Maggie was a little skeptical at first but Camden had helped her realize that everything was going to be okay. It was the first time that I had seen Camden interact with other people and he seemed to be doing very well. Maggie and him had been getting along very well since they first laid eyes on each other.

The Romanian Coven agreed without much hesitation. Any reason for them to fight the Volturi they were all for. They stood in a corner most of the night wearing their all black clothing, only talking when Renesmee approached them. She gave both of them a hug and thanked them genuinely for coming. For some reason, Renesmee was drawn to them. She, however, spent most of the night talking with Nahuel. Apparently he and his family were trying to stick to a vegetarian diet and agreed to accompany us to New York for further help. This brought out my motherly instincts almost immediately as I saw the way that Nahuel was looking at her. It was a little bit too loving.

Alistair, however, didn't believe that fighting the Volturi was a smart idea. Apparently he still felt the same as he did before. He ran away before they even got there last time and he was still standing his ground.

Peter and Charlotte agreed to fight because of their friendship with the Cullens and especially Jasper. They all had a history together and with Peter's knowledge of fighting it would help us in some way. They had always been there for us when we needed it and would stop by periodically when they were in the area to check in and make sure that we were doing all right.

Ann, Alex, Carrie and John immediately agreed when they found out that the Volturi were going insane in Italy. Their new bond with our family only cemented that fact. Ann also jumped at the opportunity to use her powers. She only got to us it while she was hunting and she always enjoyed a challenge.

The Amazon coven agreed but only for their love for us. Zafrina had convinced them to join us and said that there was no way to lose after all of the others had agreed.

The Denali coven, consisting now of 5, agreed immediately wanting to avenge their sister's death at the hands of Caius. They all knew that in order to truly stick up for their sister that the only way to defend her honor was to defeat the Volturi once and for all. Carmen and Elezar were also willing to help believing that they needed to rid the Volturi for their past. It would be very helpful to have Elezar there again to tell us more about the Volturi.

Nahuel's family had agreed to fight with us also. Nahuel felt like it was his responsibility to stick up for his family, which now included us. We had changed his life for the better and he was happy to do so. Adisa had the power to call animals to help in battle so it would help us out immensely also. The more vampires that we had with power the better. Also Naira had the ability of a physical shield where she could protect up to 3 people from physical harm within 20 feet of her.

The werewolves agreed also. I made it a point to stay away from them through out the night except for Leah and Seth. Just because I was mad at Jacob didn't mean that I needed to keep those two out of my life. Leah was happy to be a married woman and Seth was happy to finally have her out of the house. She did look beautiful with the honeymoon glow in a strapless earth toned printed dress. She was absolutely stunning in it. I was glad that she was happy.

At the end of the night mostly everybody left. The only ones to stay behind were Nahuel's family and Ann's family. It seemed like Ann and Carrie and their mates needed to live somewhere for an extended period of time. They wanted to stop traveling so we invited them in with us. Esme had already made adjustments to the new house up in Utica. She was building a second house almost right next the one that was already built. It was identical to the main house but just a smaller version. According to Esme, Ann, Carrie, Alex, John, Nahuel, Huilen, Adisa, Naira, and Makeeda would all be staying there until they could figure out what they wanted to do.

A/N: So there it is.

Let me know what you think

I'm putting a link up on my profile for all the dresses in this chapter and the last

I didn't realize the links weren't working

And a special thanks to John Cullen for letting me use him as a character, my cousin Cait for letting me use her (she's Carrie), my boyfriend who is Alex and I put myself in as Ann. Just to give you a little bit of a hint of where the new characters came from. Aedan and Camden though are straight out of my imagination. I don't usually use my OC but I think with this story it is necessary for the battle that will happen.

Check out John Cullen's new story. I really like it and he's only 2 chapters in but it's his first so check it out. Thanks.

REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!

Thanks for sticking with this story. It is no where near finished though.

Alright and I've become obsessive with my author's notes and I apologize. For some reason I want to tell you all the stuff that goes through my head. It's the writer in me.

Review please and thank you. New chapter probably Saturday.
