Whoo Hoo new chapter lol I'm excited and I wrote it XD

Dahlia's POV

Marcus and I were upstairs unpacking and getting ready for dinner when it finally hit me. I had just met my birth mother and I was about to have dinner with her. I folded my last shirt and turned around to see that Marcus was done packing and was staring at me, but it was an expression that I had never seen on him before. It looked serious. He wasn't saying anything and for a second I thought that he might be mad at me but I hadn't done anything in the short time that we had been here so that couldn't be the problem. I saw him take a deep breath and drop his head down into his hands which were resting on his legs. I didn't like this, not knowing what was wrong but knowing that there was definitely something on his mind. After a few moments of silence he brought his head up again and looked at me, then he stood up and walked over to where I was standing. He took both of my hands in his and kissed me, not just a kiss it was desperate. Like he would never kiss me again after this moment. He pulled back and looked directly into my eyes.

"Lia," his voice wasn't strong like it was usually. Could he be breaking up with me? "If you knew something about me, would you still be my girlfriend?" I'm sure the surprise showed on my face. What could be so bad that he would be worried about me breaking up with him? I didn't have to think about it and I didn't care what it was, I love him and nothing could possibly tear us apart now.

"Of course Marcus, whatever it is you can tell me." He looked down and took another deep breath before looking back into my eyes. He opened his mouth to say something and right at that moment there was a knock at the door. I looked at it but made no move to go and answer it, instead I looked back to him expecting him to continue. But he gingerly nodded his head and released my hands before going and opening the door. It was Alice.

"Esme wanted me to come and let you know that dinner is ready." She smiled and waited for Marcus to tell her that we would be right down before she turned away and went back downstairs. He closed the door and then turned to me smiling but I could tell that it was forced, he couldn't hide his feelings from me and he knew it.

"Come on we can talk about it after dinner." He reached for my hand and I hesitated for the slightest second but took his hand anyway and followed him downstairs to the dining room. I realized for the first time how white this house is. White is a hard color to maintain for décor and this house didn't have a spot anywhere.

"Jeez, how do they keep this house so white?" I whispered to Marcus. He smiled and shrugged.

"I don't know, maybe they're ghosts." I heard someone laugh in the kitchen and wondered briefly if they were laughing at Marcus' comment but then decided against it. We weren't anywhere near the kitchen yet there was no way that any of them could have heard us. When we finally made it to the dining room, which was probably the cleanest and most intricate room of all, everyone was already sitting down and the food was on the table. I felt bad for making everyone wait for us before they could eat. Marcus and I sat down together at the far end of the table where my mom had saved us a seat next to her. Esme smiled at us and I smiled back but it was half hearted, I wasn't quite sure what to make of the situation. Finally the man that I had come to know as Carlisle spoke as a few of the people at the table, including the man sitting next to my mother, reached for food.

"So Dahlia, why don't you tell us about yourself?" Involuntarily I glanced over at my mom and saw that she was staring at me intently, silently hoping I would give up some information about myself since she knew nothing. I could see the desperation in her eyes. She wanted to get to know me. I cleared my throat unnecessarily and took a deep breath as Marcus' grip on my hand tightened.

"Well I'm a senior in high school, and I really like it." I thought about something else that I could say but for some reason whenever you want to think of something that's when your mind goes blank. Thank God for Marcus.

"She's a beautiful dancer." He stated with ease as he started to fill his plate with food. I had forgotten that we hadn't eaten since yesterday. I saw my mother's eyes light up at this and I wondered if she danced too, it would make sense. One of the girls on the other side of the table, Kat I'd come to find out, raised an eyebrow.

"Really?" She didn't say it as if she didn't believe that it was true, more like she was just surprised. I nodded.

"Yes, why?" She shook her head and took another bite of her food.

"Oh nothing. You just seem like the really shy girls that never really do anything because they're too afraid." I wasn't quite sure how I should take that so I just nodded and looked back to my mother who was eating now but was smiling slightly. It was silent for awhile and by this time I was starting to try and eat something but no one was prepared for what was about to happen next. It was Renesmee who asked the question.

"So can you make things grow too?" When she asked I was eating an olive and when I heard the question I started choking. My mother and Marcus both reached for me at the same time but I waved them both off and tried to catch my breath. When I had finally recovered I looked at Renesmee who was looking at me waiting for my answer.

"How do you know about that?" She smiled and took another bite of her food. And pointed to my mom with her fork.

"Your mom can do it, she's a nymph." My eyes widened and then I remembered her question, can you make things grow too? I looked over at my mom and saw that she had her head in her hands.

"Mom," I saw her stiffen when I called her that but it didn't stop me. "Is that true?" She took a deep breath then looked up at me.

"Yes." She looked back down then to Marcus and then back to me. "Sit down, it's time you knew the truth."

So I would really like some reviews please! (:
