Just as Clay predicted, the Cullens arrived at nightfall to the club. He noticed there were two new faces, Emmet and Bella. But he didn't take note of them at first. He wanted to get a good look at Carlisle, who he hadn't seen in well over four years.

"Alright, nobody makes an idiot out of themselves" Clay glared over at Eddie, "And don't ask them for things, guys, leave that to me. Jax, you know what they like, get it out, will ya?".

Jax nodded and got up to get the deer blood they had collected over the years in case the Cullens were to come back. They weren't the kind of vampires who drank human blood, rather the blood of animals. That was what got Jax from the start, made him believe the Cullens weren't a threat to anyone. He was sure his own father, John, had known Carlisle and the other Cullens at one point, but he never said anything about them in his journals. Not as far as Jax read.

"So…this is where they hang out at?" Bella joined the Cullens outside the clubhouse, not sure exactly what to expect, "So, do we just go in?".

Carlisle shook his head. "The Sons will only let us in if we're invited by Clay. He has to invite us personally".

"Speaking of which" a voice, Clay's, interrupted, "Why don't you come inside now?".

"Clay Morrow…".

"Carlisle Cullen…been a while hasn't it? Where you been?".

"Up in Forks, as always".

"You still live there? I keep telling you guys need a new place".

"Forks is the only place where we haven't been driven out. You know what happened when we tried living here in Charming".

Clay nodded. "Good point. Alright, let's head inside. We kept plenty of deer blood for you guys. The others don't know what it really is".

"Thank you" Carlisle nodded, "For keeping our secret".

"Hey, I made a promise that I would. I don't go back on that".

That was when he finally noted Emmet and Bella. "I don't think I've seen these guys before. They new?".

"Oh, Clay, allow me to introduce our newest "vegetarian", Emmet. He hangs around Alice most of the time. He's a really soft spoken guy" Carlisle said.

"And the girl?" Clay eyed Bella.

"Oh, this is Bella Swan. Edward's girlfriend. She's human".

"Nice to meet ya, Bella" Clay extended his hand.

Bella hesitantly shook it. "Nice to meet you too, Mister Clay".

"Please, just Clay".

"Nice to meet you then".

Clay looked at Edward. "She's a keeper, Ed".

"She's a little shy about this. She's never been to California before".

"Really? Well, I'll tell the guys to go easy on ya. We're not that bad, I promise".

With that settled, Clay led them inside where the others were waiting. Jax had just gotten back with the blood, and was surprised to see Emmet and Bella. Newbies…

"Carlisle!" Gem ran up to Carlisle and hugged him, "It's been a while. It's good to see you again".

She released Carlisle and did the same for Esme, Asher, and Edward. When Gem got to Rosalie, the two just stared at each other.

"Gemma…".

"Rosalie…".

They simply nodded to each other and Gem regarded Bella and Emmet.

"Welcome to the Cullen family, Emmet. Esme's sent me e-mails about you".

"Glad to be here, Miss Gem".

Gemma then hugged Emmet. "So respectful…you're learning quick".

"Yeah, it's an idea that we try to drill into all their heads" Esme told her.

Gemma let go of Emmet and turned to Bella. "Hm…haven't seen this one either. She new?".

"She's Ed's girlfriend, babe" Clay answered.

"Oh…so you're technically a part of the family. Well…good to meet ya Bella" Gem, shockingly, embraced her too.

"Told Ed she's a keeper. What do you think?" Clay asked.

"I think she it too" Gem turned to Edward, "You better keep a hold of her, Ed".

"Don't plan on me losing her anytime soon".

"Alice" Jax spoke up, "Hey".

Alice smiled. "Hey there, Jax. How you been?".

"I've been great".

"And Abel?".

"He's great. He's a lot better than he has been".

"It's good to see you again" Alice embraced Jax.

"You guys thirsty?" Chibs spoke up.

Alice immediately let go of Jax and practically jumped on Chibs.

"Chibs!".

"Yeah, it's good to see you too, Alice".

Little did anyone else know, Alice had a small thing for Chibs, nothing major. But he meant something to her, something special.

"Alright, not trying to be mean, but could you get off me? You're kinda heavy, Alice".

"Chibs has a girlfriend!" Opie teased.

Chibs faced him and flipped him the finger.

"Oooo, you just got told" Bella said, "You gonna take that?".

Opie shrugged. "Might as well. Nothin' to do about it".

"Well, all in all, it's good to see you guys" Clay eyed Bella again and nodded, "All of you".

Bella smiled. This was acceptance. The Cullens and SAMCRO, they were a team, and a very good one at that.

A/N: Well, things are about to get a little better when I introduce an OC next chapter. One that's bound to cause problems for both the Cullens and the SOA. See ya then!
