Edward leaned forward, glaring at Lauren and Toby, trying to reach deep into their thoughts. Lauren, fully aware of it, started to think of the nastiest things she and her husband had done during sex, causing Edward to hiss and close his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Next time you'll ask." Lauren and Toby shared a brief knuckle bump before they leaned back on the couch. Lauren crossed her arms over her chest and sighed softly while Toby stretched his long legs out in front of him and leaned back into Lauren's shoulder. They both surveyed everyone's thoughts, sharing their opinions amongst themselves.

I think that the newborn over there next to Edward is powerful. She seems so fragile though. And have you seen how she clutches on to that child? We don't look that dangerous, do we?

Lauren gave a light nod and looked at Bella herself, studying her every move.

The child is also very powerful. She keeps asking to touch us. I wonder what she wants.

I'm hungry.

There was a loud growling coming from Edward as he stepped between Bella and the visitors. Lauren rolled her eyes and slapped Toby on the back of the head before putting her hands up and looking at Edward.

"I'm so sorry for this," She hit him again and he hissed softly. "doofus. He forgets that we are still in the age where no one trusts anyone. He doesn't think when he thinks."

Edward growled again and put a protective hand on Nessie, glaring at Toby as he rubbed her head softly.

"I wasn't talking about the child, Edward."

Edward just sniffed and crossed his arms, not planning to leave Bella alone any time soon. Toby sighed and whined to Lauren, silently pleading with her on whether or not they could hunt. It had been so long after all.

Later.

Toby growled and crossed his arms again, pouting like the child he will forever be.

"So, how old are you?"

"I'm 18 and Lauren is 17. We were going to get married a couple of months after we got attacked."

You've been together for that long? Wow." Alice leaned forward and rested her elbows on the couch in front of her, gazing at the two of them with interest. Suddenly, she had a large grin on her face and she turned to Edward, sharing her vision.

"No. No. Absolutely not. No way Alice. No way." Edward shook his head with each word and Alice jumped over to Carlisle and tugged his arm, beaming.

"I saw them living here with us. They were a part of the family. The were playing baseball with us next Friday. There's supposed to be rain. They look perfect. Please Carlisle, please?"

Lauren and Toby mouthed the words 'baseball' at each other and looked around the room confused. Nessie broke out into a fit of giggles and broke free of her mother's arms and ran at Lauren, jumping into her arms and clutching her tightly.

"Nessie!" Edward dashed across the room but Bella held him back, watching the interaction. Lauren smile down at Nessie and Nessie put a hand on her cheek. Lauren's eyes grew wide and she gasped at the images Nessie was showing her. It was all about Edward and Bella and the love they both shared with Nessie. She then showed her images of Jacob and the rest of the Cullen family all together and laughing.

Very carefully, Lauren took Nessie's hand and took it away from her face, smiling down at her lightly.

"Very nice sweetie, but I don't think your father is going to like you sharing personal information with me. It's okay though, I get the picture."

Nessie pouted over her shoulder at Edward before turning back to Lauren and smiling widely, showing all of her teeth. Lauren smiled widely too, showing off her teeth two. They both broke into fits of giggles before Nessie got down and walked back over to Bella, holding her arms out.

"Interesting."

"What is?" Edward's accusing eyes rested on Carlisle who was sitting in his armchair with Esme on the rest next to him.

"She isn't afraid of either one of them, and yet you still choose to turn cold. What's the matter?"

"Nothing is wrong with me. I just don't like when everyone trusts two people we met today. Just because Renesmee trusts them enough to share her memories doesn't mean I have to."

"You don't have to be such a brat with everything! Just because you can't seem to get past your own ignorance doesn't mean we have to alienate everyone who steps through our do-"

"No, he might be right."
