"There she is!" I said in a grin as I saw Renesmee run up to me, wrapping her small arms around me as I spun her around on the lawn in the backyard. It was nighttime back in Forks, and we just arrived in town from running from Oregon. It was good to come back to the family, and being able to see Bella in her new vampire life. She was doing rather well, and she was the first to greet us when we reached the house. The moon was high and the snow was touching ground on the floor, nice and even as we sped through the forest.

"Aunty Emma." Renesmee said in a squeal as I placed her back on the ground. She hugged my legs tightly, having me laugh as I saw her brown hair ringlets flow in the wind.

"And where is my hello?" Sam asked her aloud with a sneaky tone. He squatted down to her level and Renesmee released me, moving to her uncle to give him a hug. I looked back at Bella, seeing her with Edward and the two of them walking over to me.

"How is the run?" Bella asked me aloud. Her eyes were going to gold, since she was constant on her animal diet since she turned.

"Good for us, since we hardly leave that new house we have." I explained to her as I heard Sam tickle Renesmee behind us. She was giggling, her chime bell laughter filled the night softly.

"You know Esme would want to get her hands on that place and make it lavish." Bella said in a raised eyebrow. I heard Edward snicker out of his breath next to his wife. I narrowed my eyes at him as I saw Sam carry Renesmee over in his arms.

"Mom, can Uncle Sam read to me?" She asked Bella, having Sam look at Bella and Edward for approval.

"Yes he may. Let's get you ready for bed." Bella said aloud as the three of them went in the direction of their cottage that wasn't too far away from the main house. I was left with Edward as we both walked over to the house.

"How are things with Renesmee. She's 3 months now isn't she?" I asked him aloud in a curious tone as we went inside. Edward nodded his head, ruffling his hair.

"She looks as though she's 8 years old at this point." Edward explained to me. I knew that was going on with the family, trying to figure out why she has been growing at such a fast rate.

"Any luck with finding any research?" I asked him as we both sat on the couch.

"None yet, but we are thinking of going to South America. There might be a vampire there that is just like her." Edward explained to me. But I could see something else was going with him. He was holding something else back from me, and it was about to irritate me.

"You're hiding something from me." I said to him in a matter-of-fact tone, seeing him look over at me. I could read it far too well on his face.

"Renesmee was spotted today, right after I talked to you on the phone." Edward explained to me, having me look at him with a serious stare, "She was with Bella and Jacob in one of the clearings. Bella told me that while she was catching snowflakes, Irina from the Denali Clan saw her and immediately ran off before Bella could catch her."

"She didn't say anything to Bella or Renesmee?" I asked him with more seriousness in my voice.

"Nothing, but Carlisle reassured me that Irina wont'd do anything. I'm more worried about what she saw when she did see Renesmee." Edward explained to me some more. This had me a bit worried since our family did not need another situation on our hands. Bella, Edward and Renesmee have had a few couple of months of bliss together, they did not deserve another incident with other vampires coming into their lives. But then again it was Irina, and she was not too keen with Jacob and the other wolves who were now in a alliance with.

"I suggest you leave it be for now." I said to him in a more nurturing tone, having him look over at me and rest his hands on his lap, "She's our cousin, I'm sure she'll come to us and meet her."

"I am thinking of taking Renesmee up there and introducing her to the family something soon, maybe this weekend." Edward said to me aloud. I smiled at the thought of our cousin family meeting my niece. Edward got up from his spot next to me.

"Let's go see my daughter, and see how good your husband is at reading." Edward said aloud as I got up with him as well, a smile on my face, "My daughter is quite the judge when it comes to reading for bedtime."

"I can guess who she got that from." I said to him in a smirk as we both walked out of the house and towards the cottage. The cool air and the snow under our feet was calming to me as we both broke into a run. I followed Edward, since he knew the faster way to get there. I was only there one or twice, but once Renesmee was born Sam and I left for our house. It was good to run with my brother once more, even more it was for a short while.

We stopped in a clearing and I saw the cottage once again. It was still small and quant in the woods of Washington, the lights giving the house a good glow throughout the dim light. I smiled, thinking we were back in a fairy tale. We both walked into the house, seeing how small and intimate it was. I could hear Sam in Renesmee's room, walking towards the voice and Edward following. I peeked my head around the corner, seeing into Renesmee's room and smiling from what I saw.

Sam was sitting on top of the bed with Renesmee tucked into bed. She was leaning against Sma as he had a arm wrapped around her and read out of Wizard of Oz. Bella was sitting in her rocking chair next to the bed, listening as well with a small smile on her face. I leaned against the door frame and watched my husband read to our niece. Renesmee was engrossed in the story as she heard him use different voices for the characters. Edward stood behind me and watched, his hands shoved in his jeans pockets.

"Just like her mother." Edward said in a soft tone, having me smile from hearing and seeing Bella look up from her spot and at her husband. I saw the soft look of love in her eyes as I watched Sam read to his niece.

" "You have plenty of courage, I am sure," answered Oz. "All you need is confidence in yourself. There is no living thing that is not afraid when it faces danger. The true courage is in facing danger when you are afraid, and that kind of courage you have in plenty." Sam said aloud to Renesmee as I watched her brown eyes scan the book. This one of the peaceful moments I had with the family, making me think all will be right with our future.

But I was in fact wrong.

Sam and I went back home in Oregon the next night, after being with the family for several hours. We wanted to give Edward and Bella as much time with Renesmee as possible, even though we would get protest from Renesmee asking for us to stay. But Sam and I knew that we needed to have our own time together, since the rest of the family was still trying to figure out the mystery of Renesmee and her rapid growth.

We both were in the woods along the coast, finishing a feeding of Elk that came through and were about to come back to the house when Sam's phone pulled out the phone and answered it.

"Bella? What's going on?" He said in a casual tone, but I saw his face change within a second. I looked at him with worry as his shift change, "Woah, wait a minute. Calm down." I was no officially worried about what was going on with Bella, "What do you mean? She did what? Here she is." Sam said aloud as he gave me the phone. I snatched it away from him and placed the phone against my ear.

"Emma, we need you and Sam to come here, quickly." Bella said to me on the phone, her voice was urgent. SAm looked at me with worried eyes as I felt my heart dropping.

"What happened Bella? Is it Renesmee?" I asked her on the phone with concern in my voice then.

"It's Irina, she's done something." Bella said, her voice was on the brink of sadness and almost pain.

"Bella, calm down. It's going to be okay, tell me what did she do?" I asked her, trying to keep my own voice down and collective. But I head started reeling, since the last time Irina was mentioned she saw Renesmee and fled before a explanation was given.

"Alice had a vision, and she saw Irina going to the Volturi." Bella said aloud to me, having me freeze in my spot and reach out to grasp Sam's hand. Sam clutched my hand, still looking at me. Hearing Volturi made me think of the worst. If the Volturi was involved, then would not end up good in the end.

"What are you saying Bella?" I said her aloud, my mind was racing as to how this was even going to be settled.

"They are coming for our family."

"Why would they leave so quickly?" I asked the family aloud as I saw the note in Alice's handwriting. As soon as we hung up the phone, Sam and I ran back to the Cullen household to help out in any way shape or form. But as soon as we came back, we found Alice and Jasper missing. Alice left the family a note, telling them that the Volturi would come when the snow sticks to the ground.

"She didn't say, but according to this, we don't have a whole lot of time until they come." Carlisle said aloud to us as he took the note from my hands and read it once more to himself. I grasped Sam's hand in mine, trying to think of where they would go or why they would be there. Bella looked rather depressed next to Edward and Renesmee, who was standing behind her parents. Jacob was holding her hand, looking rather worried about the whole situation.

"What's the next step?" Sam asked aloud next to me, looking over at Carlisle to see what he wanted to do. Carlisle looked up from the note, looking rather determined.

"We need to find those who can help us." Carlisle explained to the group, since we were all standing together to figure out what to do.

"Where do we start?" Emmett asked in a amped up tone.

"I know several places we can go. I have connections, and with all of your help, we can get as many vampires here as humanly possible to be witnesses." Carlisle explained to us, having me nod my head in agreement. I knew that the more vampire we had on our side, the better chance we have to not have any harm inflicted on us with the Volturi.

"Because they are under the belief that Renesmee is a immortal child, we need to find those who would be a witness for her, to show that she is not a immortal." Edward said aloud next to Bella. This seemed like a bigger plan that we can handle, trying to find vampires who are willing to look at Renesmee and see she is no threat. There was the constant rumor and history of immortal children, and how can we fix that?

How can we save her?
