Chapter 10

Adanne POV

We headed back to the house that I once hated. Seth by my side - in human form. My brother wallking beside me. It was one of those moments of peace that you hear about but rarely experience. Maybe it was the aftermath of the battle wearing on my emotions. But I just felt like I was floating on cloud nine. That was how at peace and happy I felt. I couldn't stop smiling.

Everyone quickly shipped off now that the big crisis was averted. Only Huilen and Nahuel stuck around; well them and the wolves. Seth hadn't strayed from my side all day. Who was I to complain? Getting to know my brother was fun. Slowly but surely we would get closer, this I knew. I loved him, even if I didn't really know him all too well yet. I would. Surprisingly he and Seth got along like a house on fire. Within minutes they were joking and laughing. I couldn't help but notice the glances he would sneak at Bella and Renesmee. I knew he was beginning to forgivce himself for his mother's death. The very same thing had happened to me when I first arrived. I begun to see that it wasn't my fault necessarily. Yes, I had a part in it. But when it comes down to it - it was my mother's choice and Joham's initial part in it that lead to her passing. I will always miss what could have been but that notion no longer possessed my every thought as it once had. I was moving on.

Sue was a big help in that. I now had a mother in her. She had told me so. I was special to Seth because he loved me and I was his imprint but Sue cared for me too. I had found a sister in Leah even if she refused to admit it I knew she like me.

We both had the same sarcasticv brand of humour and both of us had our demons too. The only difference was that we came out on top. Seth was ecstatic over our new sisterly bond. He wore his heart on his sleeve so Leah and I knew exactly how much our getting along had meant to him.

One development I had not seen coming was the subtle yet definately there, relationship between Charlie, Bella's father and Sue, Seth and Leah's mother. How bizarre. The vampire's father and the werewolves's mother. That sounded like something from a supernatural soap opera or a bad romance novel burt in a weird way Sue and Charlie clicked. I was just glads that he had taken my advice. It took a lot of guts but he did it. Then again, I don't know if I should be surprised, his daughter was married to a vampire, mother to a hybrid vampire and best friend to a werewolf. Strange but hey, that's Bella. Never a dull moment.

The last few weeks in contrast to all my life before seem terribly exciting and danger filled. But then again befoe that my idea of a good day was no bad weather with no contact with any vampires and enough food to keep me satisfied. Rather dull in comparison to the past month or so.

Seth and I had come so far together. We were now in love and happy. Who knew what the future would hold but like Siobhan said before she left - we would face it together. After all, our chance of survival is greater in numbers.

Five years later...

"I now pronounce you husband and wife!" Billy Black called. "You may now kiss the bride!"

With that Seth and I were locked in a kiss that really was bordering on inappropriate for company. We were seperated by my brother's not so subtle poke in the back of my head. That earned a lot of laughs. We had really grown close. He visited whenever he could and on special occasions- I suppose my wedding day would count as one.

Seth lead me back down the aisle with a huge grin on his face; mine almost ceratinly matched his. I was so thrilled. We had been waiting for this day for so long. It meant a lot to us and to our friends and family. Everyone we loved was present. Garrett and Kate were there too. So were the Cullens. Nessie now looked around fifteen. She was a prodigy from music to ashion. I wasn't oo bad no either. I now had a high school diploma - not bad for a ten year old, eh? Seth was proud of me too. Charlie now knew exactly what I was. That conversation had been fun. Note the sarcasm. I was pulled back into reality by cold arms hugging me. I turned to find Garrett smiling down at me. For a really old guy he wasn't that bad. He was just another part of the family.

Two years later...

"Happy birthday!" We called, coming out of our hiding places. It was Renesmee's seventh birthday; today she reached maturity. Incredible, right? Jake and Ness were now not-so-secretly dating. I don't know why they thought it was a secret. Oh well...

"Oh my god, Dani!" Nessie squealed wrapping me in a hug. I grinned back at her, rubbing the huge beach ball shape bump I was sporting. It made dress shopping rather hard. Of coure, Alice had managed. I was wearing a a strappy dress that clung at the bust but floated over the rest of me. Surprisingly comfortable and pretty.

"I know, right?" I said grinning. Nessie's hands followed mine feeling my bubba's kicks and punches. It was near the end so he had very little room. This meant bathroom breaks were now an every five minute occurence. That was not so fun...

Seth was great with it all and Sue kept looking at me and crying. "Happy tears, dear" is what I'd be told everytime I asked. Charlie, Seth and Leah were just as baffled as me.

"Adanne?" Jasper called, coming over.

"What?" I asked innocently. I knew what he was going on about. He could feel it. I'm surprised Seth didn't feel it too but then again lately I was so uncomfortable and in pain he probably couldn't tell the difference.

Jasper just fixed me with a look that said cut the crap. I wanted to slap that look off of his face. He felt my anger rise and raised an eyebrow questioningly as though he were daring me to just try it., Is it bad that I was actually tempted to try? God of War my ass! He's nothing more than a tame kitten. He growled lowly as though he knew what I was thinking. Ass...

"Adanne" Edward said sternly materialising on my right. And of course, where Edward was, Bella was sure to follow.

"What? Why are all you vamps picking on me?" I whined, resisting the urge to stomp my foot like Nessie did as a child.

"You know why" Jasper said seriously.

"Adanne?" Seth asked me confusedly. Then he probed our bond mentally. He withdrew quickly with a gasp. Edward and Jasper gasped too. Jasper feeling it off of Seth and Edward reading their minds. Serves them all for being nosy. "How are you still standing?" All three wusses asked in sync. I resisted the urge to grow and knock them all unconcious. Our little pow wow was drawing attention so we moved to the side of the room.

"Firstly, I'm not a wimp. Secondly, I've been numbing my pain for hours" I said before clamping my hand down over my mouth. It was too late.

"Hours?" Seth demanded incredulously.

"I'm just exaggerating" I said before backtracking at their looks. "Okay, I'm not"

"Nice of you to admit it. Now let's go see Carlisle" Seth said dragging me over to said doctor. Great.

One hour later and Seth and I were the proud parents of Harry Nahuel Clearwater.

Our lives were good and I hoped they would stay that way.

And... finished! So much fun to write. I'm kind of sad to see it end but now I am moving on to a sequel for my first multi chapter story 'Hotheaded' feel free to check it out and drop me a review. Advertising over and done with I would like to thank my reviewers who are so awesome. If you've reviewed - Thank you. I accept anonymous reviews so if your not a member of you can review too. Even if I can't reply to those. Over 1000 hits! Happy with that :)

Not my best of course but still great. I don't think there will be a sequel to this but you never know. The best way to keep on top of my many projects and sequels is to put me on Author Alert. You don't have too, just saying.

Thanks to those who still stuck around after my couple day break - my life just got hectic then but things are much more chilled now. So I should be back to my everyday updates for my other stories.

For those who have wondered over my Outcast She Wolves story, that will be picked up. It was meant to be a one-shot but I got an anonymous review suggesting it could be more and next thing I knew I have a mega long story planned. Typical.

Please vote on my poll - I have had two different voters and at the moment everything is equal si if you want a say in anything to do with my stories - vote!

Love you all, Maddyson Ruby. xxx
