A/N: This chapter is kind of short. I'm having writer's block...bleh.

PLEASE REVIEW AND ENJOY :)

Nessie POV

The end of June was already here. I could tell Arabell was going through a growth spurt. She looked a few inches taller and she barely ever crawled anymore. If she wanted to go somewhere she would just stand right up and walk.

She was very entertaining as well. She always turned the attention towards her, but in a good way. She was as cute as a button. I could always hear her high pitched laugh from all the way across the house. I smiled every time.

I walked around the corner with a basket of laundry in my hands that needed to be folded, and found Sara playing with Arabell on the couch while watching the weather forecast for the week. As I sat down on the couch Sara asked me a question.

"Ness, I have a few dolls maybe Arabell would like to play with."

Hmm. I was never a girl who liked to play with dolls as a kid. I never found the joy in playing with dolls like other little girls did…I always thought their clothes looked weird. Alice especially tried to get me into them, but she was unsuccessful.

I looked down at Arabell, then back at Sara.

"Sure, why not?"

She smiled, setting Arabell on the couch next to me and using her speed, she zipped off down the hallway. Two minutes later she came back with a small blue container.

"Though I may have been a tom boy, my mother would keep buying me dolls. I barely ever played with them, though I felt like I had to keep them.

She opened the lid. There were about ten to fifteen dolls in there. Sara pulled one out and gave it to Arabell.

Arabell held it in her hands carefully. She kept looking at Sara and I, like she didn't know what to do with it.

"Do you think she's a pretty doll?" Sara asked Arabell, trying to get her familiar with the toy.

All Arabell did was give the doll back to Sara. I just started laughing.

Sara let out a chuckle. "I guess she's not one for dolls either."

"Neither was I." I chuckled.

Then Arabell pointed to her box of Legos. We laughed once again.

"Okay then." Sara chuckled.

"Hey." Jacob said, coming in from the garage. He was working with Bray on his vintage car.

He sat down next to me, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. We were all watching the weather forecast closely.

"I guess we will have to wait until next week to hunt. I was hoping to go sooner, though." Sara said quietly. It was supposed to be sunny all week.

"When was the last time you went hunting?" Jacob asked me.

I just looked down at the shirt I was folding and back at him.

"I can't even remember. March, maybe?"

Jacob just stared at me closely. His dark eyes pouring into mine. I lost my train of thought then.

"What…why?"

He didn't answer for a few seconds. He then turned his eyes back to the TV.

"It's nothing babe."

I still had my eyes on him, but then I gave up and went back to folding laundry.

Jacob POV

I was beginning to get a little bored. Being in this house all the time was starting to drive me nuts. It was about 7:30 at night and I was wide awake with nothing on my hands at the moment. Renesmee went to bed early. I kept on eye on her more often now, just to see if she was going to have the morning sickness and the bad sleeping patterns like she did with Arabell. I was thinking maybe going out hunting would keep her stronger. She never tried that with Arabell. When the thought of Arabell came to mind, I remembered she was still awake, happily playing with her toys in the living room.

"Arabell, do you want to go outside with me?"

She understood what I said, and raised her hands to me.

I put her on my shoulders and took her out to the shore. She then pointed her hand down at the sand.

"You want down? Okay then."

I started bouncing her in my hands and into the air. She went into a giggling fit. I laughed with her.

I watched as she walked in front of me on the sand, looking for the broken seashells that she would always pick up and admire like it was the coolest thing she had ever seen. Every single one she would find she would give it to me and go back to looking for more.

I suddenly started to think of my dad, and how long it had been since I had last talked to him. It was last November. I remember him telling us how much it hurt him that he couldn't see us. I knew it killed him not to be able to see Arabell.

I was looking out on the shore went I felt Arabell tug on my pant leg. I bent down to her height and saw that she found a seashell that was perfectly shaped with no broken edges. It was a pinkish, white color, and she just stared at it with wide eyes. The look on her face right then and there reminded me of her mother.

"Very nice shell. You got lucky with that one."

She just laughed and handed it to me.

I stood up and watched her run towards the waves.

"Arabell…you are the brightest star in my sky."

Nessie POV

I woke up very early in the morning to an urgent phone call.

"Yeah…what? What happened? He's going to be okay, right?"

That last sentence had me right out of bed and dressed. I ran down the hallway to find Jacob and Bray sitting at the kitchen table together. Sara was running in and out of the room, doing what, I wasn't sure.

I sat down next to Jacob, staring into his eyes. His expression was…well…slightly disturbed. I felt my heart drop.

"Okay…please, call me back soon. I want to know if he'll be okay or not. Alright. Bye."

I kept my mouth shut, though I was dying to ask him a million questions. His fists clenched tightly, his head down.

I placed my hands on his, twirling my thumbs in a circling motion.

He looked up into my eyes, not saying a word.

I wasn't expecting any good news. I knew this would be bad.

"Embry got ambushed by about fifteen vampires. He's been in a coma for about three days now."
