Jake POV

"Jeez, Ed. These are good." I said, jamming another mouthful of Edward's eggs into my mouth. "I can see now why you married him." I whispered into Bella's ear. She hit me in the arm. Ouch.

"We're going to the family for the day with Nessie. We don't want Audrey to get herself into more trouble. So, could you stay home with her?" Edward said.

"Yeah, I guess so." I sighed. "I mean, I really barely know the girl."

"You could play with her!" Nessie smiled. I started to breath heavy.

"Huh...? Play? Nessie, I don't she's not..." I started stuttering.

"God, you sound like a married man." Bella chuckled, grabbing Nessie, and pulling her out of the chair beside me, before I could blink. MY GOD! I hated how they could do that. I stretched out my arms, easily reaching the ceiling. I stood from my chair, and walked into the living room. Audrey was sleeping peacefully, her lips were curled into a gentle smile. I closed my eyes remembering the sweet smile in my dream. They were identical. I frowned, realizing how stupid I was to think she's beautiful. I had Nessie, but I wasn't ready for her to grow up.

Bella POV

"Aunty Rose!" My precious daughter called, running into the arms of Rosalie.

"Nessie!" She smiled, and pulled Nessie deep into her embrace.

"Hey, Rose." Edward smiled his patented smile. Crooked and lovely, the one I fell in love with.

"Hello Edward, Bella." She said.

"Hey, guys!" Emmett said, coming behind me and thwacking me on the back, I tripped forward a bit, and caught myself. Even as a vampire, he was so much stronger than I. Then, there were two smells I didn't recognize.

"Who's here?" I asked.

"Oh, why don't you come meet them! They're just great Bella! Just great!" Alice smiled widely. "Alex, Kyra!" A bland, cold, yet sweet sent filled the room as two vampires entered the room.

The male-Alex, I assumed-was tall, and gorgeous. He had dirty blonde hair, and golden eyes like the rest of us. He was broad and muscular, but not so much as Emmet. Then, the girl, Kyra had olive tinted skin and dark, dark brown hair. She was short, but she looked warm and friendly. Her eyes were the same as Alex's. She smiled.

"Hello," Alex said, grabbing my hand and shaking it. He had a thick Australian accent. "You must be Bella?"

"Yes, that's right. This is my husband Edward, and my daughter Renesmee." I explained sweetly.

His eyes widened at Nessie, and I tensed up. Edward put his hand on my shoulder, and he whispered that he wasn't thinking that she was an immortal child.

"So... she's... real?" Kyra said smiling.

"Yes." Edward said.

"How was she conceived?" Alex asked, smiling, widely. I felt bad for him and Kyra. She seemed like the type of woman who would love to carry a child inside of her.

"In a bed." Emmet joked. Rose hit him on the back of the head. "Ow!"

"I was a human, and he was a vampire." I explained. "Nessie is half and half."

"How incredible!" Kyra marveled, but her face was sorrowful. "How I wish I could have had one of my own."

"It is a shame." Alex said to Kyra, and then laughed.

I frowned. What was that name Audrey had said caused all the bruises? Alex? I shook that thought away. Alex is a common name, right? What where the chances?

"So, do you have any special abilities?"

"Yes." Alex said, pleased. "We both do."

"Ah, really?" Edward said, although he already knew.

"I can lift objects with my mind, move them, you know?" Kyra said.

"I can set things on fire." Alex mused.

"Fire, like pain? Or fire like burning building?" Alice asked confused.

"Fire like burning. Any of you have a match?" I remembered a small box in my pocket. I pulled it out and tossed it to him. "Thank you, Bella. Hold it up, would you baby?" suddenly, the box floated and a match whizzed out, directly in front of Alex's eyes. It lit on fire with a blaze of yellow, orange and blue. Renesmee clapped.

"That's so cool!" Renesmee smiled.

"I'm glad you think so, Nessie." Alex smiled back. He picked the lit match up (I don't know if that was the right term...) and blew it out. "But, it's not very useful. It would have been, though. When I was human, I was in artillery." He laughed. "Rogue cannon ball took me down- my best friend who was also in artillery was a vampire. Haven't run into him lately, though-he ate humans. He went by the name of James." I laughed.

"James? A vampire by that name attacked me when I was still human."

"I'm very sorry to hear that." Alex sighed. "He was a tad aggressive. That's why I ditched him-ended up with a vampire, Laurent, I think." I nodded.

"That was him alright."

We moved quietly into the living room, and we all relaxed there.

"So, why are you here, Alex?" Rosalie asked, aggravated. She hated people jumping in on her ground, and that was pleasing Renesmee.

"Well, we were wondering if we could join your coven." Kyra smiled. "We're vegetarians too."

"How long have you been, or rather, haven't been eating humans?" Carlisle asked inquisitively.

"Ah, me since I was born, about a hundred and fifty years, and Kyra, since I made her that was 90 years. Neither of us have eaten any humans... recently." He shifted in his seat. "When I was first made, I killed my wife and our young son. Then, I killed my brother. That was it. Kyra killed only 1 person, and that was when she was a newborn." He nodded proudly.

"He was a serial killer, though. No harm done." Kyra piped in. I frowned. Human life is human life, but we were vampires, I guess that was better than killing an innocent person.

"We want to know about her though." Alex said. "Renesmee. She's can't really be as old as she seemed. It was just last year, the Volturi...."

"Ah, yes! I age really quickly!" My daughter smiled brightly.

"Will she..." Kyra hesitated "Will she die so soon?"

"No, she'll stop aging in 5 years or so." I said, leaning into Edwards shoulder.

"Tell me, Bella, did it happen right away? From the first time you two made love?" He asked quickly. I coughed, surprised by the bluntness.

"Uh..." I said, looking briefly at Nessie. "We don't know. I guess we never will. But, I like to think it was." I smiled nervously.

"Do you think that... It would happen to any human girl who did it with a vampire?" He asked Carlisle.

"We're assuming that it's like any other pregnancy." Carlisle stated plainly.

"Was being pregnant with that angel... painful?" He asked, yet ANOTHER question.

"I like to think it was a labor of love. But yes. It was, I died from it." I smiled, kissing Nessie on her head, through her perfect hair.

"You... died from it? Like physically died? How are you here now?" I laughed as he pressed further.

"Well, CPR can be very affective to spreading vampire venom." Edward chuckled. "I applied it directly to her heart while a family friend, who isn't a vampire, performed CPR."

"That would be the werewolf, correct?" Kyra asked.

"Why yes." I gasped, astonished she would know that much.

"But, if I may not be so rude, why do you want to know so much, Alex?" Jasper inquired, his scarred eyebrow rising.

"Yes, why do you?" Kyra said, kind of pissed.

"No reason." He said. "Just... curious."

Audrey POV

"HA! I told you that ER was a word!" Jake said, pointing his tanned finger in my face while throwing his head back and chuckling.

"I won't doubt you again, Jake." I smiled, although really quite aggravated that he was now 30 points ahead of me in scrabble.

"Your turn," He commented. I smiled, placing my prefect word on the board-one that would earn me 50 points... 'knights' and 'success'. Jake's jaw dropped.

"Now the game is even-or rather close." I smiled.

"Aww, shit man, I thought I would win." He slammed his fist on the table, sending small wooden letter squares flying all around.

"For a while there, I did too-Until I got that second c." I smiled.

"God, how'd ya get so good?" He said as we both stood up.

"Oh, I had a lot of practice." My smile widened. Hospitals are boring-hustling scrabble, not so boring. I didn't really hustle- I just made it my duty to defeat people who did. My 'knights' and 'success' move was usually the crushing blow.

"When would you guess the Cullen's will be home?" Jake said quietly.

"Dunno." I replied just as quietly. "I haven't seen Bella is a whole year. Boy, has she changed."

"You have no idea." He rolled his eyes.

"I don't think I saw you at the wedding." I commented.

"I came later." He hissed.

"Why... why do you live here?" I asked, extremely curious to know of this giant.

"Uh, I dunno. Bells and I were good friends. I guess Nessie got a hold of me, you know?" He smiled.

"What, in the creepy pedophile way?" I joked. His eyes went wide.

"No." He commented, quickly and shook his head, nervously.

"I wasn't accusing you of anything Jake." I said, shrugging. It was getting awkward, so I changed the subject quickly. "What kind of music do you like?"

"Oh," He said, caught off guard. "Uhm... Rock, you know the classics-The Animals, The Stones, The Beetles, I kinda like Nickelback, and I really like... James Blunt."

"James Blunt, really?" I said, genuinely surprised. "Whoa, you never struck me as a 'You're Beautiful' type of guy."

"Yeah, well. I find that it helps when singing Nessie to sleep with my guitar. She really likes 'I Really Want You'."

"Oh, I love that song. I really want you to really want me, but I really don't know if you can do that. I know you want to know what's right, but I know it's so hard for you to do that... Oh, you sing to her?

"When Ed and Bells don't do it, yeah. I'm surprised you know that song."

"Yeah, I'm a pretty big Bluntite." I confessed.

"A Bluntite? Is that what the kids are calling it these days?" Jake laughed, and I laughed with him. His laugh was sweet and warm. I felt at home, when I heard it.

"I also like Coldplay, Jack's Mannequin, No Doubt, The Fray, you know. Soft Rock, I think that's what 'The kids call it' these days." I smiled.

"Are we... friends?" Jake asked, quite randomly.

"Of course we are. Any friend of Bella's is a friend of mine." I answered simply.

"I'm glad." He stated, genuinely happy.

"I am too, I think you are very cool, Jake."

"Listen... Since we're friends," He hesitated. "Can you tell me where you got those bruises?"

"Alex." I said too quietly to hear. "I thought you were there."

"I was. But, I guess... how...is the more appropriate question."

"Um." I blushed furiously. "I would rather not talk about it." His eyes widened.

"That must be one huge guy."

"He's pretty big, I guess." Jake made a 'what?' face. "Oh, I mean his stature. He's very muscular."

"Oh, because I so thought you would tell me about that," He said sarcastically.

"I'm sorry."

"I can see why you wouldn't want to tell someone stuff like that." He blushed. "What color are his eyes." I was caught off guard by the question.

"Oh, Alex's? They're like melted honey-a perfect gold." I said, remembering how captivated I was by those eyes.

"GREAT!" He said, once again sarcastic. I jumped. Why did his eyes color matter? I wondered.

"Let's just talk about something, else, okay. I'm not very proud of myself." I confessed. "So what's your favorite movie?"

"The Shining." He said plainly. "Jack Nicholson's great. HEERES JOHNNY!"

"That movie is horrifying." I said. "I read the book first, though, and the movie is nothing like it."

"There's a book?"

"Yeah. Stephen King-master of horror. I've read all of his books."

"How many are there?" He asked, and we slumped onto the couch.

"53. Not counting the Non-Fiction." (AN: That number isn't correct, I don't think... But, if it is, I'm SUCH a good guesser.)

"Where do you have the time to do all that?" He wondered.

"I dunno. I just... did. When I was younger, I had leukemia." I said weakly. "I was hospitalized for a long time."

"Oh. I'm very sad to here that." He frowned.

"Yeah, my mother had AIDS, at the same time."

"Oh my god, Bella was right, you did have a tough childhood."

"Well, I learned a lot of things that most people learn when their thirty when I was 10." I smiled briefly, and pushed some of my hair behind my ears.

"Well, that's lucky I guess..." He mumbled. "Do you want something to eat?" He asked pointing to the little nook of a kitchen.

"Oh, a little. But, don't trouble yourself, I'll make myself something." I appeased him, walking towards the kitchen that he gestured to. "Do you want anything?"

"No, uh..." He stuttered. I shrugged and walked towards the kitchen. I reached into the fridge, noticing a bottle of my favorite-V8 juice. It looked a little thinner and darker than usually, but I was sure it was fine. I grabbed a glass and poured it in. I brought it to my nose, gagging at the smell-Iron, the unmistakable scent of blood. I dropped the glass on the floor, the "V8" splattered across the cold linoleum, bits of glass, oh, I hope it's not crystal, where splattered throughout, I shook, leaning on the counter behind me. Jake jogged into the room. "What?" He questioned protectively.

"The..the tomato juice it's... not tomato juice."

"What are you talking about Audrey? Of course it's tomato..." He paused, thinking for a moment. "Oh."

"It's blood. Why do you have blood in a v8 juice bottle?" I asked, gasping for air.

I was like Bella in that I hated the smell of blood; I guess it was a Swan thing. Maybe that was why she was so pale...

"It's not blood." He commented.

I rested my head in my hands, staring at my dark palms.

"I'm sorry, I didn't...mean to break the glass."

"S'okay." He shrugged. "It wasn't mine anyway, as long as it was Ed's it's cool."

He laughed.

"I get the feeling you don't like Edward."

"Oh, no I like him fine. Now, but it wasn't like that always. We hated each other."

"I'm so sorry." He opened his mouth to say something, but shut it. "Nobody should hate each other, it's really not a good feeling."

"It's not, that's why I'm glad we're..." He gulped in air "...friends."

I wasn't sure why I did, but I laughed at that. Then, I ran to the bathroom and threw up until I was hacking up air.

Six Hours Later

The door opened, and I heard laughter, a familiar sound. It was Bella's laugh. I took a sip out of my ginger ale, which was in fact ginger ale. Jacob made sure. He even bought a new bottle. What a nice guy.

"Yes, they were quite funny, huh, Princess?" Edward cooed, I hoped to Nessie.

"They were, they were!" Nessie joyously giggled like she was at a circus. I had never been to a circus, maybe I could go someday soon.

"Hey guys, Audrey's not feeling well." Jacob's thick voice greeted them at the door.

"Well, I can see that!" Bella exclaimed, wriggling over to me. She put her cool hand on my face. Her diluted amber eyes stared into my blue ones, and I pushed out a smile.

"Jake's just over reacting." I assured her. "I just vomited. I think you're V8 juice went bad, or something because it smelt a lot like blood."

Her eyes widened. She turned and whispered something to Edward, it was barely audible, and spoken so quickly. Edward picked up Nessie, and she put her hand sweetly on her father's face. He nodded at the little girl. Nessie's smile turned into a pout.

"Do you want me to call over Carlisle?" Bella asked.

"No, I'm really fine. You've done so much for me already. It was just a bit of nausea. So, how was it?"

"Oh, it was fun. We had some guests over. A sweet couple."

"How many are in Edward's family?" I asked politely.

"There's Carlisle, his father, Esme, his mother, Emmett, his brother and his wife Rosalie, there's his sister Alice, and her husband Jasper. Jasper and Rose are siblings. Their all adopted, though."

"Gosh, I wish I had that big of a family growing up." Bella pulled the blanket over my shoulder. "Who died?"

"Died..No one," She paused, then said. "Nessie's parents are Edwards biological brother and his wife."

"Oh, tell him I'm very sorry for his loss."

"That's okay, Edward's very happy."

"So, will you have any kids of your own?" I probed.

"No, I can't." Her eyes darted away from mine. I gasped, covering my mouth with my bruised hand.

"Oh, Bells..."

"No, I have Nessie. She's a fantastic daughter, really."

"What is it?"

"Oh, um, you know what Tina Faye had in Baby Mama?"

"Oh, yeah. But she still conceived."

"With me it's much worse."

I grasped her and pulled her into a hug. I started to cry.

"What?" She questioned.

"It's just so sad...I can't imagine that. You've always been so motherly to me, even when my Mom died, I guess..." With a house full of young ones. I wanted to finish, but I craved not to be inconsiderate.

"You always pictured her with children." Edward finished, running his hands through his messy wake up do. "So did I." He shrugged.

"Some people are just unlucky." Bella smiled. "Some people are unluckily lucky."

"Huh?" I remarked, confused.

"Nothing." Bella walked towards Edward. "Night."

I Shut my eyes.

Opened them, to a tap. I flickered my eyes open, in the moonlight streaming through the windows of Bella's dark home sat Alex. His eyes as friendly and loving as I remember.

"Hello, Audrey." I think I mumbled something around the lines of "Goshfsakd", but I'm really not sure. "How have you been?" He asked in his voice, the thick Australian accent comforted me, and I wanted to reach out and tuck a stray hair behind his ear. I didn't though.

"Okay." I bit my lip.

"But all the bruises, I..." He paused for a moment, and he sat on the couch, pulling my legs gently onto his lap. I could have sworn he didn't touch me, but I knew he did. I shivered. STOP! I screamed at myself, knowing he was someone else's husband. How could I betray Kyra like this. No, a part of me hissed towards the beautiful man beside me, how could he betray Kyra like this. "I hurt you. I'm sorry for that."

"You didn't hurt me," I nodded.

"I did, I should have stopped." He shook his head. "I was a fool to not realize my feelings for you earlier, and get out of it. But, I ignored it and went with the voice in my heart." He put his hand on my face, tracing over the bruises on face.

"You're right, you should have. So should've I. But we didn't and here we are."

Then, and overwhelming question poked at me.

"Wait, Alex." I paused, pulling his hand off my face. "How are you here?"

"I found you." He patted the tip of my nose.

"No." I pulled my legs off his lap. "I...I can't do this to Kyra. She was so kind to me, I have to suppress my feelings for you for her." I stood up, wobbling at first but standing with determination.

"Someone's going to hear you, Audrey." Alex sighed, running his hand through his gorgeous hair.

"Too late, leech." Jake growled. I turned to see him leaning on the door to his bedroom. "You're lucky Edward and Bella aren't here, or I'd rat you out to whoever 'Kyra' is."

"Stay out of this Mutt," Alex glared at Jacob. "She's mine." Alex pulled me close to him, I squirmed away from him, but he held tight. He was going to leave more bruises.

"I have no doubt of it, don't worry, I'm not interested." I was oddly hurt by that statement, to me it felt like he was tossing me away like I had a third foot, or something. We only knew each other a day, after all. "I barely know Audrey. But, I do know humans, and she's not feeling fantastic in your arms. See all those bruises?"

"Don't remind me," Alex looked away for a moment.

"Yeah, well clearly she's hurt."

"Oh, no, Jake I wasn't hurt." I was ready contradict, but considering as Jake was sort-of defending me, I didn't want to hurt his feelings.

"Yes, well. At least I'm not a virgin." Alex countered. Jake looked un affected. I was surprised at that. The 'at least I'm not a virgin' usually accompanied 'at least I don't live with my mother' in Alex's book; he certainly had a different sense of humor.

"Oh, really? Well, at least I don't sparkle, gay-boy." Jake countered. Sparkle? What was that all about.(AN-This is starting to sound like a Team Edward vs. Team Jacob fight, if you know what I mean...)

Alex laughed at that. He shook his head, and leaned down to kiss me. He did, too. Gentle and nice-just like the first few times. I blinked and he was gone.

I blinked again and it was morning.

Was it all a dream?

AN: YES! HA! DONE ANOTHER ONE! I love the alex and jake fight, I actually find it really funny-but, hey. Please read and review. No flames though, (Although, simon-level insults are totally accepted, because he's right 75% of the time) I got a real bad flame, and it hurts! Ah, well. Untill next time.

"
