Also I am looking for a Beta if anybody is interested. Let me know.
Alright without further ado here is chapter 28. Enjoy!
Ross' Point of View
The drive back home took forever. I now wished I wouldn't have gone so far away. When I made the decision to go home it would still take me 2 days to get there. The hardest part of all of this was that the Cullens might not take me back. Or worse Nessie. It was a fact I had been going over in my head again and again. What if after the way I reacted to everything none of them wanted me anymore?
But I made the decision to talk to Bella first. Maybe that way I could understand how to make my decision and deal with it. I was still having a hard time believing that Bella was Nessie's mom. But after looking back at how they interacted with each other, it became clearer and clearer.
As I pulled up the driveway I realized that I should have called first. What if Bella wasn't home and the first person I ran into was Emmett or worse Edward. My mind was reeling as I put the car in park in front of the house and walked up to the front door. Was I supposed to knock or go right in? After pondering for a minute I opened the door slowly and once I stepped inside Bella was standing at the bottom of the stairs with her arms crossed across her chest.
"Edward said you wanted to talk to me," she stated as if I had asked him to tell her but I hadn't.
"Oh yeah, the mind reading thing. I forgot about that."
"It will take a while to understand everything. So what would you like to talk about," she asked. Before I knew it she was sitting in a chair in the middle of the room but my eyes hadn't seen her get there. I stood dumbfounded. "Okay I may have to wait to do that stuff in front of you. That's not even that fast. Now come on over and sit or perhaps you would like me to come get you and carry you over here," she chuckled although I knew she wasn't joking. I made my way over to her and sat down on the couch facing her. "So what would you like to know," she asked sincerely.
"How did you react when you found out about Edward," I asked. It was the first question that I could come up with. Maybe once the conversation went further I could get into more of the details with her.
"At first I was scared and I didn't know how powerful that part of him was. I didn't know what to make of it or what to really believe. But after thinking about it it didn't really matter what he was. Who Edward was amazed me, not what he was. Every single piece of him intrigued me. I would have loved him the same if he were a human or a werewolf or whatever else. I love him because of who he is, not what he is."
"How did the other stuff work? I mean, the whole vampire blood thing?"
"It was extremely hard for him to endure my blood. For him it was more enticing then anything he had ever smelled. But he felt the same way I did. His love for more outshone the love for my blood and it's a little hard to explain other than that. You would really need to talk to him about that."
"And you deal with the blood thing well? Jake told me that you guys are vegetarians."
"It's hard of course because we are going against our nature. I know that if there was nothing to eat but tofu you would eat it but it's not something that you crave. I'm a little bit different because even as a human I could smell blood. The smell of it made me sick and nauseas. When I was changed into a vampire I was different then everybody else. But just because I can resist the blood doesn't mean that I am immune to it. None of us truly are."
"Is it hard for Nessie?"
"At times it is but not as bad it is for the rest of us. She is one of only few of her kind. There are only 4 others like her. She isn't venomous like we are meaning that she wouldn't be able to turn anybody into a vampire because she can't poison them. But she would still be able to drain them fully of blood if she ever lost control."
"And how does turning somebody into a vampire work?"
"You'll have to wait and see. It takes a while for people who are introduced into our world to figure out everything there is to know. The Cullens wouldn't tell me for the longest time because they knew the second I found out I would want to do it. But one thing that you do need to understand is that vampires are very different then humans when it comes to love. When we find the ones that we love they are our soul mates, the one and only person that we are supposed to be with. Vampires mate for eternity. Carlisle and Esme, for example, have been together for over 80 years."
80 years! "Damn. How the hell old are you guys?"
"Well Carlisle is the oldest of all of us and he really is the creator of our family. He was the first of our kind to be able to resist human blood and he has had over 300 years. He was born in the 1640s in England. Since then he has practiced medicine because he wants to help out wherever he can. The next oldest is Jasper. He was born in 1843 and he was changed while he was a major in the confederate army. He can tell you the rest of the story. Like Edward I don't like to tell other people's stories because I never get them right." I nodded my head for her to continue. This is the stuff that Jacob might not know of the Cullens.
"Alice and Edward are the same age but they were brought into our world in different ways. Alice had a troubled upbringing because she could see visions. Her family didn't care about her and the day the brought her to a mental hospital was the same date on her death certificate. Edward was dying in 1918 of the Spanish influenza. Carlisle was working nights at the hospital and was taking care of Edward's mother. When she passed on, she had told him to take care of Edward and Carlisle did something no one of his kind did. He changed Edward and ever since then those two have been extremely close.
After Edward, Carlisle changed Esme in 1921 and was born in 1895. She and Carlisle are completely made for each other. I have never seen another relationship like theirs. It's just something that doesn't really exist except in our world. Rosalie was born in 1915 in Rochester, New York. Even in her human life she was one of the most beautiful people in the world. One night something terrible happened to her and she was left to die. Carlisle found her in the morgue almost dead and decided to save her thinking she would be a great partner for Edward." Bella laughed a little bit but continued on without any hesitation.
"Of course we all know how that turns out. Rosalie actually saved Emmett from being mauled by a bear. Emmett was also born in 1915 but was changed 2 years after Rosalie. And I am actually not that old. I'm only 26. I was changed when I was 19 after giving birth to Renesmee. If I hadn't been changed I would have died. But having her was the biggest miracle of my life because nobody ever knew that male vampire could still reproduce. Female vampires can't hold a baby because once you are changed your body doesn't change at all. So there is no way for a woman to be able to hold a child."
"Doesn't that make you feel bad though? Like if you wanted to have more children."
"I was prepared to not have any children actually. After all the planning that went into me being changed I knew I was giving up the right to bear children. But I did get pregnant and it's a miracle that I have even one child."
"Do you think that Nessie would be able to bear children?"
"We don't know because we haven't tried it and we hope she doesn't try it anytime soon." She shot me a dirty look.
"I haven't even thought about that, ask Edward. I'm saving myself until I'm married."
"You are a lot like Edward."
"What do you mean?"
"He had the same morals as you do. It's just so rare to see it somebody these days."
"But you only met him less than 10 years ago. There is no way that times could have changed that much."
"No but times have changed since he was born. He was born in the early 1900s and he was raised with morals. I'm glad that it is still around today."
"Yeah but I don't go around flaunting that fact. It is a little embarrassing if you tell people you are waiting for marriage because it's so unheard of now and it's not the cool thing to do."
"Well hearing that makes me as a mother feel better."
"I'm really sorry," I said lowering my head. "I left and I didn't tell any of you where I was going and I hurt Nessie, I must have. I feel horrible."
"Everything will be okay Ross. We completely understand and as for where you were we have Alice for that. You were in Forks."
"Yeah I was."
"And what did you do while you were there?"
"Explored mostly. I wanted to see where Nessie was born and everything. Jacob needed a ride and I needed some place to stay for a little while. I guess I always knew I was coming back but I needed some time to myself with my thoughts."
"Completely normal. It does take a while to process everything."
"Is there anyway that I could see Renesmee?"
"Wow, it's weird hearing you call her that. You really should talk to her but she is in Massachusetts."
"Why is she there?"
"Something happened to Ann's brother. Ann, Alex, Carrie, John and Nessie went down there."
"Have they figured anything out yet?"
"No and Ann is freaking out."
"I really need to see her. I've been away from her for too long."
"Then why don't you and I take a trip?"
She looked at me and smiled and I jumped at the opportunity. I needed to see Nessie as soon as possible and if that meant I would need to drive more than so be it. I had already driven almost fully across the country so why not continue on? Bella and I walked out the door without saying a word to anybody or packing anything and I handed her my keys.
"Are you kidding me," she asked.
"No. I've driven across the country and I don't want to drive anymore."
"Alright, but I won't get us there very fast."
She got into the driver's seat and programmed the gps and was out of the driveway in no time. Okay she said we weren't going to get there very fast. Her driving scared me so much that I couldn't even fall asleep because I was afraid that I would lose my life.
Ann's Point of View
"Mom," I asked with sincerity and surprise in my voice. "What do you mean Josh is missing?"
"I came over here to check on him and Ann and he wasn't here. Ann was asleep in her room and he was nowhere to be found. I waited and waited and there is still no sign of him. They said he didn't show up on site today and I'm worried because his car is here and he's not. I was looking through his phone book and you were in there under a number I have never seen. I just didn't know who else to call."
"Mom," I said again wishing that I could cry. My mother was the one person that I wanted to talk to more than anybody. I wanted to be there to hold her. "Mom, I'm on my way."
"I'll see you soon and we're gonna have to talk."
"I love you," I said jumping up off of my bed and scrambling around my room for my keys.
"I love you too," she said before I hung up the phone. I tossed it on the ground and went into my nightstand. My keys were there and when I turned around Alex, Carrie and John were all standing in the doorway.
"What are you waiting for," Carrie said. "We've got to go."
The 4 of us ran out of the house and into the garage. Nessie was in there cleaning her car.
"What's going on," Nessie asked.
"Just get in the car if you want to come," John demanded. She got up instantly and was put in the backseat next to Carrie. I flung the car into drive and was down the driveway before I could even take a breath. I needed to get home, I needed to see my mom and I needed to make sure that my brother was okay. What if all of this was my fault? What about my little niece? What was going to happen to her?
"Ann you don't want to wreck your car," Alex said calmly putting his hand on my shoulder. "Why don't you slow down just a little bit?"
I did as he said but it was killing me to drive slower when I knew what was going on back home. I kept my eyes focused on the road ahead of me and tried not to think of what was happening.
"What going on," I heard Renesmee ask again. "I want to know what's going on."
"Ann's brother," Carrie said quietly. "He's missing and we are going to see if we can figure out what's going on. We don't know what happened to him and we want to make sure that everything is okay."
"What about her mom?"
"Her mom called to tell her what was going on."
"But doesn't…"
"Let's just be quiet Ness. Think of other things."
The car fell quiet after that and stayed that way until we hit Massachusetts. I drove down the familiar streets but I was rushing. I wasn't reminiscing about the good times I had here because I had other things that I had to think about. I didn't want to think that it was my fault that my brother disappeared. Was my secret too much for him to bear?
A million thoughts ran through my head as I pulled into his driveway. There was no reason to be secretive anymore as the 5 of us piled out of the car and walked up the front walk onto the porch. I knocked on the door and my niece answered the door.
"Aunty Ann," she yelled. I picked her up and hugged her tightly.
"Hey baby girl, I missed you."
"I missed you too. Come on, Grammy is inside."
I put her down and she took my hand leading me into the dining room. Everybody followed behind me but at a distance. I was nervous as I turned the corner and saw my mom sitting at the table. I was about to break down but she did it for me. She got up slowly and came over to hug me. I could feel the tears roll off of her cheeks and onto my t-shirt. I really should have brought a different shirt to wear but I was in too much of a hurry to do anything about it.
"I miss you sweetie," she told me in-between her sobs.
"Oh mom," I said quietly. "I'm so so sorry. I so sorry," I sobbed. I didn't know what else to do but just stand there and hold her. I couldn't even come up with words to tell her how sorry I was. She had figured out that her daughter was alive and not living too far away and she still didn't come to see her. I wanted to tell her everything and tell her why I had to stay away. She didn't deserve me as a daughter and now the only child that she had left was gone. It's not what she needed in her fragile state.
"Sweetie, don't worry about it," she sniffled. She released me and looked me up and down. "Now let me see you," she stated circling her finger telling me to turn around. Only my mom would ask me to do this. I did as she asked and flipped my hair over my shoulder when I was finished and struck a pose with a smile on my face. My mom chuckled a little bit but her face instantly went back to sadness.
I watched her eyes and they focused behind me. I turned around and saw Carrie standing in the doorway. "My cupcake," she yelled as she walked over to her and hugged her. "You look amazing as always." My mom backed up and looked at the two of us standing side by side just like we had been our entire lives. "My girls," she yelled again with enthusiasm before hugging us together.
"I don't care where you two have been," she whispered in our ears. My niece was standing next to me and I picked her up and placed her on my hip. She cuddled her head into my shoulder almost immediately. She was just the sweetest little girl I had ever met.
"Mom I want you to meet somebody. Alex," I said motioning for him to come in the dining room. "Mom this is my husband Alex. Alex this is my mother."
He walked in and smiled at her but I could tell that he was nervous. She looked at him and I could see her eyes light up.
"It's nice to meet you," he said extending his hand. She wrapped her arms around him immediately.
"Welcome to the family. You better be taking care of her."
"I am as best as I can," he said bluntly with a little bit of a laugh. "But she really can take care of herself." He looked down at me and smiled before kissing my head. My niece looked at him.
"Oh sorry. Alex this is my niece Ann. Ann this is your uncle Alex."
"Hi Uncle Alex," she said shyly hiding behind my hair.
"And this is your aunty Carrie and your uncle Johnny."
"Uncle Johnny," my mom said. Carrie nodded her head and John walked in the room behind Carrie. "Well you two leave and get married," she said sarcastically. "I don't want to know what happened. But we really do need to find out what's going on."
"Alright," I said putting my niece down. "Why don't you go play sweetheart and we will come and get you when we are done."
"Are you staying for a little while," she asked not letting me go.
"For a little while." Her face lit up like it was Christmas morning. "Now you go and play alright," I said kissing her head. She ran off and Renesmee stood awkwardly in the doorway. "Mom this is our friend Renesmee. She needed to get out of the house."
"Well it's nice to meet you Renesmee," she said with difficulty. We all sat down at the dining room table and looked around at each other. This is not something that I was prepared for. "Ann honey," my mom started sadly. "I'm so sorry to have to be the one to tell you this but your dad passed away yesterday."
Alex reflexively put his hand on my shoulder and my mom held my hand. I didn't even get to say goodbye to my dad. I wanted to break down again and I wished that I could. I wanted to be able to shed a tear for my dad. He was such an important person while I was growing up and I wanted him to know how much I cared about him. Now I couldn't even say goodbye to him.
"We are having a small service for him in 2 days but it's not going to be much. We really didn't want to make a big deal out of it because we don't have many people left in our lives. Little Annie was really upset when I first told her."
"Does she know about Josh yet," I asked with my voice a little raspy.
"Not yet. I told her that he is on vacation. I don't want her having to lose her father on top of her grandparents."
"Both," I asked looking up at her.
"I'm not going to be around much longer sweetie. I can just feel it. I just don't want her to feel like everybody in her life is leaving her. She doesn't really have anybody in her life. Her mom is gone and now Josh and me and your father. Nothing is going right in that little girl's life and it's just horrible."
"Well she has me."
"What," she asked surprised.
"I will take her. I'm the only family that she really has left and I'm not going to let her go into social services. She doesn't deserve that. But we don't know for sure that Josh isn't coming back. He has to come…"
I took a deep breath in and immediately I hissed exposing my teeth. Everybody looked at me and also took a deep breath in. "Vampires," I whispered so quietly that my mother wouldn't be able to hear me.
Ross' Point of View
As Bella drove into a driveway I recognized Ann's car in the driveway. I knew that something bad had happened because we were at some random house. Bella got out of the car and I followed beside her. All of a sudden she put her arm out in front of me and I heard and saw her sniffing the air around her.
"Oh yeah real discrete," Ann said coming around the corner. "Come on inside."
Bella hugged Ann so tightly I thought that Ann was going to be cracked in half.
"How are you doing," Bella asked putting her arm around her before they started walking in front of me. I just decided to follow them.
"I'm doing okay. My dad's funeral is in a few hours."
"Oh God, I thought Josh was missing."
"He is."
"Jeez and all of this is happening at once?"
"Yes and we have a new member to the family."
"Who?"
"Little Annie. Somebody needs to take care of her and I feel like I have an obligation to my family to do it. My mom isn't going to be here much longer so she can't watch her. I just didn't want her to go into foster care. She is too sweet of a little girl."
We walked onto the porch and immediately went into the kitchen and into the dining room before taking a seat. Carrie, John and Alex were already sitting at the table and they immediately changed the conversation.
"Are we crazy Bells or do you smell what we smell," Carrie asked.
"I smell exactly what you do but I don't think you realize how big of a deal this is."
"Do you know who it is," Ann asked.
"Yes and I was hoping that I would never smell this horrid smell ever again."
"Who," the 4 of them yelled at Bella.
"It's the Volturi," she stated simply.
"My queue to leave," I said getting up quickly. "Where's Nessie?"
"Outside on the swing," Ann said before focusing her attention back on Bella. I decided that it was best that I wasn't here for that particular conversation. I didn't know if I could deal with any more vampire drama. They have more drama than a bunch of teenage girls. I walked back outside and looked around the backyard until I saw a swing underneath the trees in the backyard with a person sitting on it.
I approached slowly to make sure that Nessie wouldn't be scared and run off. I wanted to make sure that I did all of this right because I had been planning this one moment for an entire week. Before I could make it all the way to her she was gone.
Before I could ask her to stop I was being tackled to the ground. With the force that she ran into me with I couldn't tell if she was trying to be playful or if she was trying to hurt me. The moment that she kissed my neck and I felt the warm wet tears hit my cheek I knew that she was happy. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her with as much force as I had.
I was so happy in the position that I was in I never wanted to get up. I wanted to hold her in my arms forever. She kissed my cheek and I kissed ever inch of her face. I missed her so much and there was never any amount of kissing or hugging that could convey how much I truly missed her. There was no way that I could ever stay away from her. She was going to be in my life forever.
"I missed you," I whispered letting a tear run down my cheek. She sat up a little bit and looked at me smiling with her tear stained cheeks. I smiled back at her as she wiped the tear off of my cheek. "I am so sorry," I said sincerely grabbing her and giving her another hug.
"I'm sorry too," she admitted.
"For what," I asked as she pulled back. She stood up and grabbed my hand leading me back to the swing.
"For not telling you. I never wanted you to find out the way that you did. I feel horrible for not telling you the truth and lying to you. It's not who I am."
"It's not like you lied over something stupid. You lied to me to protect me and to protect your secret. You needed to know that you could trust me to keep your secret."
"And I do trust you, I always have. I just afraid that you would leave me and when you did leave, all of my nightmares came true."
"I am so sorry about that. I just needed to figure everything out. I needed to sort it all out and I'm sorry if I left you feeling like that. There was no way to call you from where I was."
"Where did you end up going?"
"I don't know if I want to tell you."
"Oh come on, there are no secrets here," she joked nudging my arm. "You know that you can tell me anything."
"I went to Forks."
"How did you end up there?"
"Jake and I were talking and he needed a ride home."
"So you talked to Jake," she asked sounding hurt.
"I kind of didn't have a choice. He got into my car and said we needed to talk. And after seeing what I had seen him do I was not going to deny him anything."
"I understand. It was scary."
"You've never seen him do that?"
"Not with anger like that I hadn't. I was just as scared as you were."
"But you walked towards him?"
"I was trying to calm him down. Usually when he is upset I can comfort him. But he was obviously having none of that."
"I could see that. I was scared for you and for me. You have to understand that night was scary for me. I didn't know anything that was going on." She nodded her head. "So you have some pretty cool gifts."
"Yeah I do. I was born with the one that I showed you."
"And the other?"
"I kind of came into as I grew older. My father was a vampire when I was born so his power was there from the minute I was born. But because my mom was human it took a little bit longer for my other power to come in."
"And will you show me sometime what you can do?"
"When we get home," she said with a smile.
"Home," I questioned.
"Yes home. You didn't think I was going to let you live anywhere else did you?"
I put my arm around her and she snuggled up into my chest while the swing swung in the wind. It was relaxing to be with her by ourselves without anybody watching us or making stupid comments in the background. That was always Emmett's job back at home.
Home, I missed it so much. I don't even remember what it was like to go to school. After my car accident I hadn't gone back to school and now it was Christmas vacation. Christmas itself was only 3 days away and I hadn't done any shopping.
Ann came out 10 minutes later and walked over to us.
"Come on you two, we are going to the mall," she stated enthusiastically. I didn't understand how she could be so happy with everything that was going on in her life. Almost every member of her family was passing away and I know that when my mother died I couldn't even fake a smile. Maybe that was the big difference between us.
"Why," Renesmee wined.
"Oh Nessie act your age. We need to go and get clothes to pay respect to my dad," she said the last part sadly. So it really was affecting her but I could tell that she didn't want anybody to see her like that.
"Okay," we both stated in unison getting off the swing and walking towards the car. Ann got into the driver's seat and before I knew it we were at the mall.
"Now we need to get outfits for everybody. We can't go to a funeral in these clothes."
She got out of the car and headed into the first store. I had never seen somebody shop so quickly before. Ann was on a mission and she seemed like she knew what she was going to get everybody. All of the girls, except for Nessie, were in black knee length dresses that we all styled different and Nessie was in a pair of black dress pants and a black button down shirt which oddly seemed to match me except I wore a deep purple tie and she wore heels. Apparently the only reason I was there was so that Ann could measure me.
The weirdest thing was that they didn't need me to carry their bags for them. I was so used to carrying all of the bags when a girl went shopping and now I felt like a sissy walking around the mall with two girls holding one bag while they were holding three each. I could tell I was going to feel very macho now.
The funeral was not something any of us were looking forward to. Annie held onto Ann for dear life the entire time because she was afraid. The poor little girl probably didn't know what was going on and they had told her that her father was on vacation. But with everything that I had heard about the Volturi I knew that he probably wasn't going to be coming back anytime soon.
After the funeral we went back to the house and relaxed for the night. I said goodbye to Ann's mom who went home for the night and little did I know it would be the last time I would see her. She passed away in her sleep that night. I guess when you lose both of your children and your husband there is really no reason to fight anymore.
Ann lost it one night from what I heard. We were staying in Massachusetts until after the funeral. Renesmee and I had been sleeping in the guest room and I heard Ann's dry sobs in the next room. It bothered me to no end that somebody like her was hurting. I knew what it was like to lose a parent and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. It is a horrible feeling knowing that you can never see them again and days seem to last so much longer when you know that they aren't going to be there in the morning.
I got out of bed quietly trying not to wake up Renesmee and went into the next room. She was sitting alone on the bed holding a picture to her chest. I wanted to cry as I saw her sitting there. I walked over to her and sat down next to her. I put my arm around her and she continued to sob into my chest. The picture that she was holding in her hands was a picture of her family at her high school graduation. They all looked so happy to be there and I realized that I wanted that. I wanted to have the picture with both of my parents when I graduated high school but I knew that would never happen. I would take pictures by myself because as far as I was concerned I didn't have parents. The one that I loved the most was gone forever and the one I hated I would never talk to again.
Ann broken was something that I never wanted to see. It took her a while to calm down and I was afraid that Alex might get upset with me. When she was done crying she went into Annie's room and watched her sleep. I went downstairs and Alex was sitting on the porch.
"Is she okay now," he asked quietly.
"I think so. She's watching over Annie right now."
"I just didn't know what I could do for her. She didn't want me anywhere near her and I couldn't disobey her. I have the ability to freeze time but I wish that I had the ability to turn it back so she could spend more time with them. She didn't even get to say goodbye to her dad."
"It's not your fault Alex, it's not. If it weren't for you then she wouldn't be alive. She is here because you had the strength to change her. You need to realize that she loves you and even though she is going through a hard time right now she will get back to herself. This is a hard situation."
"And you went through it right," he asked unsure of himself.
"Yes. I lost my mother. She had always been my rock and now she isn't here anymore. It was hard for a long time because after she passed away my brothers went off to college and my dad became even more of an ass. I just had to try and get past all of it."
"And are you over it?"
"I think that I am most of the time but nights like tonight when I see somebody like Ann broken down it makes all of those memories come back up again. I just don't want this to break her. She is stronger than this."
"I know. She is the strongest person that I know."
"Why don't you go up and spend time with her? She would probably love to have you in there keeping her company."
"I know I'm going right now."
"Good."
"And you should probably get some sleep too. We've got a ride home for Christmas in the morning."
"Do you think Annie will realize Christmas is a little late this year?"
"I don't think she is keeping count of the days. But come on, bed time for the human."
"Can you guys stop calling me 'the human'? It's really starting to bother me."
"Well that's what you get for being the human."
"What about Annie? She's a human."
"Well she's the kid."
"And what are you? The ass?"
"Pretty much."
I just shook my head and laughed a little bit before going back upstairs to Renesmee. I just realized how awesome it was to be sharing a bed with her. But I knew that it wouldn't last long once we got home because her dad wouldn't have anything to do with that. But I was going to enjoy it while I could. I got back in the bed and underneath the covers. It was cold down here and her warmth was appreciated.
"Where did you go," she asked sleepily.
"Sorry I didn't mean to wake you up."
"It's okay," she said sitting up a little bit to look at me. "What's going on?"
"Ann was having some troubles so I was just comforting her. I've been in her position before."
"It was really sweet of you to do that."
"Thanks Nessie."
"I just want you to know when we get home there is a lot of stuff that is going to happen."
"Like what?"
"The Volturi thing can't go unnoticed and I know that Ann is going to do everything in her power to get her brother back. I just want you to be prepared because there are going to be a lot of others at our house."
"But they aren't like you are they?"
"No. They are the ones that give us a bad name. I just want you to be prepared because Alice has been making phone calls and we are gonna need to practice."
"And what am I supposed to do?"
"Watch Annie of course."
"Sounds good to me. As long as I don't get in the way of any of you guys I'll be happy."
"I love you Ross."
"I love you too," I said kissing her forehead. "Now let's get some sleep."
She kissed my cheek before we lay down in the bed and she snuggled into me. I was asleep within minutes from her warmth and I loved every minute of it.
A/N: Let me know what you think. Love it or hate it.
I didn't get that many reviews for the last chapter so you're making me think I suck at writing this.
Anyways it's going to be action and fluff from here on.
I started crying during this chapter too. It's quite sad that I cry while I'm writing.
Oh and thank you to Mommiebird for the sweet review you wrote me. You seriously made my year for saying that.
So update on everything. I now have 178 favorites, 374 reviews, 111 alerts and 22175 hits. It's absolutely amazing.
My poll is still up for the name change so tell me what you want. Please! I only have 16 votes. I need offical tally.
Okay I officially have extremely long author notes and I'm sorry. One more thing....
