Lucy walked downstairs that morning and was confronted with five smug vampires. Instantly she was suspicious.

'Ok what did you do?,' she asked seriously. She winced as she crossed her arms. Forgetting for a moment the bruise on her ribs.

Edward's observant eyes caught her wince and frowned, but said nothing about it.

'I'm waiting,' said Lucy.

Emmett was the first to crack, 'I know, you told us not to but we couldn't resist retaliating after what happened to you,' he said.

'Dad!,' she cried.

'Look, we all felt guilty especially me. I mean, I sent you to La Push thinking there would be no danger. I should have seen Bella planning to attack you,' said Alice.

'Alice, it wasn't your fault. How could you have seen it if you weren't looking? She knows of your talent anyway, she probably planned against it,' said Lucy.

Alice nodded thoughtfully.

'Now are you going to tell me what you did?'asked Lucy, visibly annoyed.

'They didn't do anything too bad and they didn't show themselves. They just made a lot of scary noises around her house and made Bella a bit paranoid and scared,' said Jasper calmly.

'How are you feeling?' asked Edward.

'Better,' she said. 'I didn't know it hurt so bad to be punched in the nose, also my ribs feel a little tender but that tends to happen when you receive multiple blows,' she said.

Looking up she came face to face with their concerned faces and immediately felt guilty.

'I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you feel bad,' she said.

'We're just worried about you, we don't like seeing you in pain,' said Rosalie.

Lucy frowned, 'Then I am sorry for constantly finding myself in pain.' She giggled loudly.

Soon everyone was joining in and noone could remember why they'd started.

'Right, you lot need to go to school or you'll be late,' declared Esme, appearing at the top of the stairs.

They groaned not wanting to face another day at school, yet Esme was a force to be reckoned with and soon Lucy was left alone with Esme. Lucy disliked school but loved learning with Esme. Esme had a way of making every subject exciting and always gave treats when Lucy achieved something great. Although Lucy was originally annoyed by Esme, she had come to love the older woman like a Grandmother. It helped that Esme loved to spoil her and was very open about her love.

In the afternoon, Esme had to go out so Lucy was left in the house under strict instructions not to do anything naughty. Lucy wouldn't dare cause any trouble on purpose, she just wasn't that sort of person. Trouble did however seem to be following her.

She lowered herself onto the sofa and made herself comfortable with pillows and blankets. She turned the TV and began watching one of those cheesy romantic comedies that sucked you in. Soon enough though her eyelids began to droop and she fell into a deep sleep.

'You have a great destiny before you, though it comes with much suffering, you must remember to do what is right and not what is easy,' boomed an ethereal voice out of nowhere.

She knew she had a great destiny, she could feel the power bursting from inside her. However, it wasn't all for her, she needed to enrich the minds of others and teach them well so that they may start a new age of life.

It was a challenge to pick such people and many moons had passed before she had reached her decision. The decision had made itself present the previous evening when she had been dining with supreme nobility. It was then that she saw them, the three brothers she would pass her teachings too. They looked nothing like each other yet you could tell they would not be parted from one another.

They looked like ice, earth and fire, bitter, sweet and distant. That night she chose her successors, the brothers three: Aro, Caius and Marcus.

Lucy woke with a start, sitting bolt upright and knocking someone to the floor. They'd been hovering over her and she winced at the new pain on her forehead. A hand came out to reassure her, but it startled her so much that she toppled from the sofa and landed face first on the person below.

She heard a groan and much to her embarrassment to the current situation, she blushed while looking into the topaz eyes of Edward Cullen. She felt the awkwardness of the situation rise as he grabbed hold of her hips to steady her. Their faces were mere millimetres apart. She took a glance down at his lips and then back to his face when she saw his eyes darken.

Then someone coughed ruining the moment.

'Want to explain to me why my daughter's lying on top of you?' grumbled Emmett.

Edward's hand fell from her hips as she scrambled to get up.

'She fell,' stated Edward.

'Onto you?' replied Emmett sceptically.

Edward gave him a look as if to say 'Either believe me or don't – your choice'.

'Lucy?' questioned Emmett seriously.

'I was having a nightvision and it startled me awake, I head butted Edward who was hovering over me most likely because I was sounding distressed. He put a hand out to steady me but it startled me, I lost my balance and fell,' she said.

Emmett still didn't look as though he believed her but she walked past him uncaring and let the boys fight it out alone. Instead of wandering aimlessly, she headed in search of Rose as she hadn't seen much of her lately.

She found the blonde goddess pacing worriedly in her room.

'What's wrong?' asked Lucy.

'I don't feel right,' replied Rose.

'And?,'questioned Lucy.

'Vampires don't get sick, what if something's wrong with me?,' she asked panicking.

Lucy nodded slowly, amusement dancing in her eyes as she walked into the bathroom and then returned with a stick.

'Use it,' said Lucy.

'I don't understand,' replied Rose.

'Just go in there and follow the instructions,' said Lucy.

Several minutes later, Rose screamed so loudly that it bought every Cullen into the room.

'What happened?'

'What's wrong?'

'Rose, are you ok?'

Slowly Rose opened the bathroom door and walked into the room with a massive smile on her face. Emmett was by her side in a second, checking her over and making sure she was unharmed.

'I have some news,' she said.

They all waited patiently to hear it.

'I'm pregnant!'
