Okay, so picking up where we left off, Kimberly and Emmett had a moment but will that moment turn into something more? Read to find out :)

Chapter 9

Kimberly POV

We went back to Bella's and Edward's house and I refused to think about that moment in the field. We were physiologically vulnerable both losing our loved ones, well mostly it applies to me seeing how Emmett can still be with Rose. I don't know why he doesn't realize how lucky he is to have the person he loves by his side forever. I would kill to have that, literally kill Jack to have him with me but the Cullen's have a point.

We approached the house and Bella and Edward were outside waiting for us.

"Run into any trouble?" Bella asked.

"She's a fast little sucker but, don't worry, buck was the only thing on the menu." Emmett said.

I could see Edward relax a little knowing that no one was harmed on my first hunting trip. "Alright well, we'll be hunting in an hour. Did you feed as well?" Edward asked Emmett.

He shook his head. "I'll be fine though, I'll feed with Kimmy next time."

A low growl came from my chest and I tried to cover it up as a cough but as I did that it came to me that vampires don't get sick, therefore, they don't cough. I felt stupid but I let it pass and I laid down the law with Emmett. "Don't call me Kimmy, I meant it in the clearing and I mean it now." I said leaving it hanging in the air as I walked inside the house. I walked to Nessie's room and did a face plant on the bed but as I landed I felt something dig into my chest. I rolled over and I felt a small object around my neck. It was then that I remembered that I still had the necklace that Jack gave me still around my neck. I began to remember when he gave it to me.

I woke up that morning with so much energy due to my extreme case of anxiety from the thought of meeting Jack's mother later that afternoon at a family picnic. Only its not the simple mom and siblings picnic, no, its the whole damn family and they're meeting me for the first time. Jack told me not to freak out because they already know everything about me from what he told them but this is a big step in out relationship. I meeting the aunts, the uncles, the cousins, and holy shit the grandparents. I cursed myself for not getting my hair done when I could have and instead using the money to pay for groceries.

I heard the door open and close as Jack walked into my dorm room. "Babe?" He called out.

"In the bathroom!" I yelled out. My hair was freshly blow dried and my make-up was on but I was still in my bathrobe because I couldn't find anything to wear. I wanted to look conservative but not a tight ass, but then again I wanted to be casual at the same time but not so that I look like I don't care, and I wanted to look nice without looking like I'm trying to hard.

Jack came in and then stepped right back out and repeated this two more times. "What?" I asked him.

"I'm feeling this shift of energy, it's fascinating really. You see, out here its quiet and calm but then you walk in there and then there's tension and anger." He said making fun of me.

I laughed and threw a towel at him. "Shut up! Your the one who's to blame! I meeting your whole family today and I want to make a good impression." I left the bathroom and went to look in my closet for the millionth and tenth time seeing what I could to put together.

Jack followed me and leaned against the door way. "Your blue jeans with the cut knee on the left side with the purple blouse and then the black one inch heels with the strap that goes across you ankles." He said.

I looked at him in amazement that he knows my closet and also figuring out what that would look like in my head and it looked good. I dug into my closet and pulled it out and started putting it on in the bathroom while asking him, "Where did you get the idea for this? It looks perfect!"

He paused for a moment and then said, "It's what you were wearing when we first met." As I walked out to show him how I looked he was holding a medium sized box and he gave it to me. "Except you weren't wearing this but I think it would go great with it."

I opened the box and in it was a necklace with a a little heart covered with tiny diamonds within a bigger heart on a silver chain. I picked it up and it immediately reminded me of my mother's necklace and how I always admired it. I looked at Jack totally speechless, and he was loving my reaction.

"I knew you would like it." He said taking it. I turned around and lifted my hair up so he could put it on. It fell heavy on my chest and I couldn't help but touch it and feel the smoothness of the outside heart and then the feel of the little diamonds on the heart on the inside. I began to choke up a little because what guy would act like this now a days? I mean he remembers what I wore the first time we met even with my raincoat on (not to mention soaking wet), buys me jewelry for no reason, and last week when I was sick with the flu he held my hair back.

I turned around and passionately kissed him. When we released he said, "I love you, Kimmy," for the first time.

I wrapped my hand around the charm and felt as human as I could. I missed Jack and of course I will always hold a space for him in my heart. Then a thought occurred to me, if I couldn't have Jack with me for eternity then I would at least hold onto his heart.

Emmett POV

She stormed inside the house and slammed the door making it shake a little even though she held back a little. What is with this girl? Was she going through PMS when she changed, because this is getting ridiculous.

Edward looked at me and started laughing.

"What is so funny?" I asked.

He finished laughing and said, "She tried to cover it up." He then burst into hysterics again and Bella joined him.

I rolled my eyes at the two and walked inside the house. I sat on the couch and flipped through the channels and soon they joined me a little more composed but were in giggle fits. I swear, I think the older they get the younger their attitudes. Although I should talk. I wanted to know what bugged Kimmy so bad about her name but I chose not to. With Rose when she got all riled up like this I would give her some space and then talk about it... and then have angry sex but that's besides the point. Although as my anticipation rose so did my anger. I finally couldn't take it and stormer to Nessie's room. I opened the door without knocking and she was admiring her necklace. I immediately felt uncomfortable and just leaned against the door. She sat up and started to cuddle with a pillow like a little girl.

"Well I guess you can come in." She said.

I moved from the doorway to the bed. I sighed before saying, "So, what is your problem with me?"

She rolled her eyes at me. "We have forever to talk about this and I would like to take to my time."

"Is the list that long?" I asked.

"You know I've been on an emotional roller coaster all day and night and I would like to slowly adjust to this new... life."

"Excuses, excuses." I said leaning up against the wall.

She threw the pillow at me and as it hit my face a few feathers flew out. "You just don't get it. When you changed you were saved from a dysfunctional family and met the love of your life that you have the opportunity to keep forever but you don't." The words came tumbling out of her mouth and the last part hurt.

I shifted in my spot but still kept eye contact with her. I wanted to yell or to start fighting back but I could tell that she felt bad for pouring salt in the wound. The silence between us was deafening and I wanted to leave but I couldn't make my feet move.

"I think you're homesick." She said, breaking the silence.

I looked at her with a confused look and raised my eyebrows. "Homesick?" I scoffed. "I've only been gone a few hours."

"No I meant I think you miss your time on your farm in the country. I think you secretly miss your mom and dad and fishing with a home-made pole, the smell of your mom's cooking coming from the house, and hunting with your Pa, before your brother died.." She said.

I smiled and pondered what she said. I began to think of my home, before the depression, and good it was but then I looked down at the floor. "I mean yeah I miss my parents but I'm sure they died or else they would have to be over 100 years old and with the way Pa drank I'm sure he died early of liver disease." I rolled my eyes trying to forget the times that Pa would drink.

"Well what about that one friend that you had? William Buckley? He must be around 80 years old and if you went to see him I'm sure you wouldn't be too late."

I laughed. "Oh, Willie." I said remembering the time we went fishing and he caught a huge bass but he could bring it in because he was so little and the bass ended up carrying him down the river. I then looked up soberly. "I wouldn't know where to find him."

She reached over and touched my hand, "This is the reason god invented Google."

I began to laugh, well more like bark. "You know, helping me with this does not let you off the hook." I said.

She sighed and took a moment. "It's not that I have a problem with you it's just... this is a whole new experience for me that I was thrust into and things are going past me at a hundred miles per hour and I'm supposed to... deal and when I lash out you just happen to be there." She rambled.

I nodded. "I understand but you have got to stop growling at me or at least have a good reason to." I said.

She laughed a little. "I'm still learning how to control that, so be patient with me."

"Well, maybe while we're looking for Will I can help you with your... vampire-ness and expand your powers."

"Expand?" She said with this look of amazement on her face.

"We'll try." I said with a smile.

There was a knock at the door and we put space between us. "You can come in, I mean it's your room." She said as she opened the door with her powers.

"I was actually looking for Uncle Emmett." Nessie said looking at Kimmy with hard eyes. She diverted her eyes from Kimmy to me and said, "Are you going hunting with us?" Directing the question at me and I felt like I was out in the sun with a bunch of humans staring.

I looked down at the floor then back up. "I don't think your aunt would want my company but don't worry, you and I will go on our own special trip into town and I'll get you a cheeseburger from Burger King."

"With a large fry and a chocolate shake from McDonald's?" She bargained.

"No, absolutely not your mother would kill me." I said nodding my head to Renesmee but saying no for Bella's benefit.

Renesmee smiled, "Fine then, but this trip better be soon." She said. I could then sense the prescience of multiple vampires. "Speaking of trips, it looks like its time to go." She turned and exited.

"Well, that's my cue." She said starting to get up. She caught her reflection in Nessie's vanity mirror and stared at herself. "Answer this question first: When do you get used to..." She said unable to find the words to finish.

"Being attractive? Eh, soon you'll forget about how you used to look and then it will just become... natural."

Her mouth made a tight line and she nodded her head sharply. She got up and walked out to join the rest of the family. I hope they can handle her.

Rosalie POV

I was numb from head to toe. I knew that me Emmett were rocky but I had no idea that it would come to this, and now I have to go on a fucking hunting trip with the skank. I just wanted to stay home and go another day but I decided to be the bigger person and just go. I threw on something comfortable and something that I could show off in and began to catchup with the family. When I got there, the little hoe was already to go only Emmett was no where to be found.

"Alright well this hunting trip is minus one... Emmett." Carlisle said. "So lets go northwest towards Canada."

I wanted to scream, I wanted to go inside and drag his ass out but mostly, I wanted to tear the newborn apart. I could feel anger surge through me like wild fire as Jasper and Edward eyed me. Edward just shook his head and Jasper nudged Alice's arm. I shot them both a look and they began to run with the family. I followed shortly after occasionally looking back at Bella and Edward's shack but my anger fueled my legs and I began to lead the family towards our hunting route.

I was going so fast it felt like I was in... Star Wars. All of the stars were going past me so fast that it made me feel like I was going at hyper speed and then all of this white comes into my vision and that just made the day dream come to life. When I finally could see again, I hadn't realized that the sun rose and that Kimberly was in front of me and that the white light was the diamond like sparkle coming off of her skin. A snarl ripped through me and I saw her stop and look at me but I was going so fast that I didn't see her and smacked right into her. There was a loud BOOM and scratching that if it hadn't been a cloudy day, people would have though it was a loud gun shot instead of a clap of thunder.

"DAMMIT!" I shouted. "Get out of the fucking way Newborn!" The family had finally caught up and was looking at the train wreck that we had made.

"Rose!" Alice gasped. She ran to my side and helped me up while Bella went to Kimberly's side. "She cracked your face!"

I raised my eye brows and pulled out my pocket mirror but when I opened it, little pieces of glass emptied from my little compartment. Alice then ripped out hers and showed me me cheekbone. It was healing but it was going to leave a slight mark. "Shit!"

"You should talk, look at her arm!" Bella exclaimed. The family crowded around her then. Her arm was split open from her shoulder to the mid-fore arm.

"Shit." Kimberly said.

Carlisle took the arm in his hands and Kimberly looked like she herself was going to split in two. She pulled her hand up to her mouth and bit into it to keep from screaming.

"She'll need to feed, now." Carlisle said. Edward and Jasper ran ahead to grab something on the go but ended up carrying back a full caribou.

Kimberly's eyes opened wide and she saw it but the light dimmed as she saw that it was dead. It is true that when blood is not flowing it's not as satisfying but how would she know that when it's first time hunting. It didn't matter because before I could finish she already was digging her needy fangs into the buck. Just watching her feed made my eyes go black and the crack on my cheek was beginning to burn. I ran at a human's speed and ended up crossing the path of a mountain lion.

I went into hunting mode and followed the tracks and the broken branches, real eagle scout. As luck would have it, I found not one lion but two. A male and female. They were oblivious to my presence which made it easier to sort out which lion I was going to go after first. As the venom in my mouth built up, I tossed my plan to the side and lunged for the lion that was the closest; the male. I bit into its neck and rush of power and a surge of anger filled its blood and the taste was mouth watering. Now I know why this was Edward's favorite animal to hunt. When I finished, the female was no where to be found but I wanted more. I took off after the scent and it wasn't too far away but it was running. I smiled for a I love a good chase. I taunted it for a while giving her the allusion that she was going to get away but then once it thought it was in the clear, I lunged on top of it. It clawed and tried to get away and before I could dig my deep into it I saw how it's belly would lag a bit. This lion was pregnant. I felt pang into my chest and I immediately leaped off of it. It got up and began to run and I watched it go hoping that I hadn't hurt any of the unborn cubs and by the way that it was running I could tell that the mother was fine and I will check up on the cubs when the time comes which by the looks of it, it will a couple of months.

I began to make my way back to where the family was and they already had a few caribou piled up for the week but I could see Kimberly scrambling in the back. She was searching with her eyes and occasionally turning her head to have a look around. She was holding, well more like scratching, her chest.

"What are you looking for?" I asked with a sneer.

She looked up at my with pleading eyes and explained that she lost a necklace. "It was a necklace that Jack gave to me. It was the last thing I had left of my human life." She said in a weak voice. I felt uncomfortable and began to think of all the things that I had left in my human life. A whole bureau of them; including the bureau.

"Did you have it on your hunt?" I asked a little concerned.

"I'm not sure... shit!" She began to look more frantic and the rest of the family began to look around but, there was doubt in the air.

I felt guilty but I was still pissed so I just stood where I was and looked around. It was hard to look because a ray of sun came through the trees and hit my face so it was hard to see beyond the "sparkles" as Bella likes to call them.

"What did it look like?" Esme asked.

"There was a heart with diamonds within a bigger heart that was silver on a silver chain." She said.

"Maybe we should come back on a sunny day." I suggested.

"And when in the hell will that be? We live in the most depressing state because of all the rain and the we're in the middle of the fucking spring, the rainiest season in Washington. Look! And overcast of clouds has already begun to come in, I'm never going to find it." She snapped at me. She put the back of her hand to her mouth and then held out her palm. "I'm sorry, that was rude." She said apologizing to me. I then caught the sight of her arm, it kind of reminded me of a cracked windshield on a Lamborghini. Wrong.

I nodded my head. "It's okay and I'm... sorry about... you know." I said pointing at her arm. She wrapped her hand around her shoulder and she looked so vulnerable. What the hell is the matter with me? I'm feeling sorry for the hussy who is stealing my boyfriend! I composed myself and began to look around but I wasn't looking for her necklace but for a distraction.

There was a pause when Bella sighed. "You know Kim, maybe Rosalie is right. We should come back when it's lighter out."

You could literally see the light coming off of her pale skin just go out. Her shoulders slumped and she nodded. She stared ahead and we all thought that she was going to "hic-cup" but she stayed strong and I was amazed at her stance. If I had lost the bracelet that Emmett gave me I would be a wreck. I looked over at Jasper to see what was composed on his face and I saw pain, agonizing emotional pain. When I looked back at Kimberly, she had a hard look on her face but it didn't look like pain. It looked like she was numb, inside and out. I looked at Jasper again but he quickly looked away from me. I knew it! He was fucking with my emotions!

I shot him a look and I wanted to tell him off right then and there but, I didn't want any more problems than there already was. He looked back at me apologetically but I brushed it off. I didn't want to be here any more. I didn't want to be around my family at this point in time. I was so done with yesterday and how it carried in to today so I ran. Our family was just getting back to normal. We were going to move away and start new with no complications. Edward was going to stay because Bella was here and now they have a child, Alice and Jasper were going to hang back just for a while longer to get "married" in Forks then come live with us for a while and Emmett and I were perfectly happy being aunts and uncles. But then he got this "feeling" and all of sudden he wanted to go away from them all. Find ourselves. I WAS FINE! I was fine with everything around me!

I ran east of the clearing to the shack and Emmett answered with this look on his face that screamed go away.

"Why. That's all I want to know. Why?" I asked him, my face hard hiding what was beneath my cold hard skin.

"Why what?" He said with no tone.

"Why were you unhappy with me? Why were you unhappy with our life?" I said sounding more desperate.

He leaned against the door and then moved to the side to invite me in.

"No. You will tell me right here, right now. And I know you went hunting with her earlier, I'm not a dumb ass."

He swiped his hand down his face and looked at me. "Kimmy thinks I'm homesick." He said totally avoiding their special hunting trip.

"Well then come back, we can solve this." I said getting closer to him but he pushed me back a little, gently.

"No, I mean she thinks I need to see someone from my old life," he paused, "And I think she's onto something."

I was taken a back. "Are you serious? Babe we left that behind us when we-"

"When you changed me and I adapted to being a vampire and always leaving things behind." He said interrupting me.

My thoughts were going at a thousand miles per hour and they all had something to do with..., "Kimmy? You call her Kimmy?"

He breathed deeply through his nose. "Yes, is that a problem?"

No, it was my breaking point. "Are you with her?" I asked practically whispering.

"Rose," He said rolling his eyes, "No, I'm not but she is helping me find someone and that's more than you ever did."

My eyes widened and my stone heart cracked at his sharp words. I backed away from the shack and turned and began to walk away afraid of what i meant to do next. Next thing I knew I was hic-cuping.

Ouch, that hurt but keep in mind that Emmett is hurting too. All three of them are stuck in this heartbreak triangle and can't find a way out. Stay tuned for the next chapter that will be up REAL soon because I cannot stop writing today. It's just flowing from my fingers to the keyboard onto the screen. :)
