Chapter 56 – So Much Has Happened In One Night

Sam's POV

Everyone took the signal as it was time to leave and go to bed. First the pack, Charlie and Sue and Renee left and Asher and Elena with an already sleeping Melissa. Then Bryce offered to drive the Golds home saying he'll run back here after. As for me and my parents, Esme had rooms readied for us earlier. Wow.

Tiffany, Jalen and Lucina invited us to see their cottage so we did, with them dragging us in vampire speed. Yeah I think I threw up a bit in my mouth. It was a beautiful cottage outside and inside. They showed us around the place and then their rooms. I know vampires don't sleep but I can take a wild guess what the bed in Tiffany and Jalen's room is for. Lucina's room was built into a style of a teenage girl that I'm sure would make all the others jealous. After that was done, Lucina yawned.

"You should go to bed baby girl. Say goodnight to everyone." Tiffany said to her. Lucina nodded her head and did as she was told like an obedient little girl as she gave us a hug.

After Jalen tucked Lucina in as she fell asleep, he and Tiffany escorted us back to the Cullen house. When we came out, Bryce was there. Wow, that was fast. Jalen whispered something to Bryce causing him to chuckle before Bryce went inside the cottage.

"Bryce comes here at night to watch Lucina sleep. Don't worry I got my eye on him. Just not now." Jalen said as he and Tiffany dragged me and my parents back to the Cullen home in high speed. Okay, I am never doing that again!

"Well, we'll see you guys in the morning. Goodnight. Merry Christmas." Tiffany smiled as Jalen said the same and then with us saying it back. My parents and I walked inside to see the place empty except for Esme.

"Edward and Bella are at their cottage and the same with Nessie and Jacob with their family. Carlisle went out hunting with Rosalie and Alice and the others are upstairs. Have a good night and Merry Christmas." Esme said smiling. We nodded and head upstairs. My parents took the hallway opposite to where I'm headed.

My room was down the hall. Just how many rooms in this house are there? On my way, I ran into Lucas and Krystal.

"I better not hear you say Lucas's name while you're sleeping." Krystal teased causing me to blush as Lucas chuckles. Just what other embarrassing things about my crush on Lucas did he and Tiffany tell Krystal?

"Night Sami." Lucas said.

"Night guys." I said and went over to my room. I rummaged through my bag and got my pjs and bathroom bag out and then went to the bathroom next to my room. I quickly got ready for bed and returned to my room tossing my bag back in my luggage. I soon got comfortable in this luxurious bed I got in.

Once that was settled, I thought back on everything that has happened today. I really couldn't believe it but I do. I never expected something like this to be real, to happen. And I'm sure Lucas, Tiffany and others had the same reaction when they were brought into this. What a Christmas. I thought as I soon drifted off to sleep.


I woke up to the sound of my alarm on my phone ringing. I looked at it as I rubbed my eyes; it's seven a.m. I have to return to Arizona to celebrate the holidays with Ethan and my flight leaves at nine. Bummer, I wish I could stay but I promised Ethan.

I got changed and went downstairs to see my parents already there talking to Esme and Carlisle in the kitchen. Lucas, Krystal, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper and Emmett were watching a Christmas movie in the living room. I was soon greeted with Christmas wishes as Esme made me breakfast of snowman pancakes. How does she do it? After finishing my pancakes, Edward and Bella came in hand in hand. That's when I saw that Jacob, Nessie and their kids aren't with them.

"They have to go celebrate the holidays with Jacob's side of the family in the Reserve but they wish you a happy holidays." Edward answered for me as I nodded my head.

I went back upstairs and got everything ready seeing that I have to take a cab to make it to my flight on time. I came back downstairs to see my sister and her family along with Bryce here just casually talking to the others.

"Merry Christmas Aunt Sam!" Lucina said when she happily hugged me. I said the same thing to her and the same with Tiffany, Jalen and Bryce as they went over to hug me. I looked at the clock to sadly see that it was a quarter to eight.

"Well I should go guys. I want to stay but I have a plane to catch at nine so I better call a cab." I said pulling out my phone.

"Oh no you don't," Jalen said stopping me. "We'll drive you."

"Are you sure? You don't have to do that." I said.

"Of course we do. It's no trouble at all." Tiffany said smiling. I smiled back and sighed putting my phone away. Guess I'm lucky.

"Can I come?" Lucina asked.

"Sure you can." I smiled to my niece. At least I'll get to spend a little more time with her and her family. Soon it was time for me to go and the Cullens started wishing me a safe trips and giving me hugs. Emmett is such a hugger. I'm surprised he didn't crush me with his muscles.

"You have a safe flight Sam." Dad said hugging me.

"Tell Ethan we wish him a Merry Christmas." Mom said doing the same thing.

"I will." I said and then turned to Bryce giving him a hug.

"Thanks for being there for Lucina." I said to him. "You take good care of her."

"Always." Bryce said hugging me back. I thanked everyone for letting me stay and helping me surprise Tiffany, sort of. I said my goodbyes and the four of us walked out the door. It was snowing. Good thing I was dressed right.

When we reached the black-grey Acura, Jalen opened the passenger door for Tiffany and Lucina and then opened the back door for me. He then went to the back of the car to put my suitcase in the trunk of his car. I sat quietly in the backseat with Lucina. Jalen gets in the driver's seat and we pull away from the Cullen house.

I could hear Tiffany talking quietly to Jalen over the soft purr of the engine, but couldn't make out anything she was saying. Jalen smiled and took Tiffany's left hand in his right while he drove with his left. Lucina smiled looking to me and we started talking about nothing and everything.

The hour long drive to Port Angeles took us only about thirty minutes and I couldn't even tell that we were even driving that fast. We pulled up to the airport and Jalen opened my door for me again. He disappeared behind the car to get my suitcase out of the trunk of his car.

Tiffany and Lucina were out of the car soon we were all walking to the airport terminal where I would be dropped off. I soon started hugging Tiffany and Jalen goodbye as we arrived at the place where the three of them could go far without a ticket.

"I love you guys." I said to them and let go turning to Lucina who hugged me back in return when I did.

"I'll miss you." I said to her. I heard Lucina crying until,

"I love you Aunt Sam."

I felt tears prick my eyes again.

"I love you too Lucina."

I quickly blinked them away as we let go.

"We will see you soon and we will talk to you sooner." Tiffany said.

I nodded and Jalen and Lucina smiled to me. I walked up to the gate and turned back to look at my family. All three of them waved to me. I wiped tears away and waved back. I turned and boarded the plane.

I finished my short, silent walk through the plane. I was greeted at the door by the flight attendant. I nodded to her and walked around her. I moved around a few people who were standing in the middle of the aisle way. I glanced back and forth as I looked for my seat, in the surprisingly full plane. Once I finally found my seat I shoved my carry-on in the overhead compartment and plopped down into my seat. Lucky for me, I have the row to myself.

I leaned back into the seat and crossed my legs as I looked out the tiny window next to my seat where the plane was taking off. Well here we go.


An hour or two later, the pilot's voice came over the speaker. He told us that we would be landing in about twenty minutes. Before I knew it, the pilot announced that we had arrived and we were free to get our belongings and leave.

I was super excited to see Ethan. I missed him and I wished I could tell him about what has happened, but I couldn't.

I got all my stuff together and got off the plane. I walked through the crowded terminal and started looking for my husband.

When I found Ethan, I ran over and greeted him warmly.

Ethan and I walked to his car and we had a wonderful conversation flowing between us about Tiffany and the Cullens. He knows about Lucina but has never met her. I just couldn't tell him any of the actual truth. As much as I feel bad for keeping secrets from my husband, I knew it was for the best.

Ethan helped me throw all my stuff in the trunk of his Toyota and then he opened the door allowing me to sit next to him in the driver's seat.

Ethan told me what he did yesterday while we drove home and that his family stopped by. All I could think about is what I did yesterday, and what I was told. Before I knew it, we pulled into our driveway.

Ethan and I brought all my stuff inside and placed it under the unneeded coat rack by the door.

He said something about putting our dinner in the oven so we could eat and then he left me standing in the living room as I put everything away.

Ethan and I had a nice quiet Christmas dinner and after we finished eating, he volunteered to do the dishes and believe me he is such a gentleman. Good thing too. I was exhausted and overwhelmed.

While Ethan did the dishes I went to my phone and called Tiffany. She answered on the third ring and we talked for almost an hour. We talked about meeting up within the next year and that they will still be in Forks for a year or two. Maybe three. It has something to do with the age story.

After I hung up the phone, I walked back into the kitchen where Ethan was getting our dessert ready. After dessert, I put everything away while Ethan turned on a Christmas movie on the TV.

I joined Ethan on the sofa and we watched Home Alone and after it was off, Ethan and I walked to our room together.

While Ethan was snoring away, I thought back to everything Tiffany and I had talked about over the phone and what we all talked about at the Cullen's.

I have no idea how everything is going to change and what is going to happen now. But I am just glad to have my sister and niece to be a part of it. Only time will tell. I am just glad that I had a wonderful Christmas surprise!
