Eventually, the fire began to die out. It felt like I had been burning for ages. I opened my eyes. Everything was so clear. I could see every dust particle, every crack, every color there was. I stood up slowly. I noticed I was in a pair of blue jeans and a loose t-shirt. I walked downstairs cautiously breathing in and out slowly. I had to keep my control. I had my control, and then the scent hit me. It smelled sweet. My throat was on fire, but I took a deep breath and kept walking.

As I reached the bottom step, I looked around. The room was full of people. All their eyes were on me. I slowly took another step. Carmen came over to me, "Bella, dear, how are you?"

I looked into her eyes, "Overwhelmed. This is all so much to take in. I seem to be in control, but I still don't want to risk it."

Eleazar came to my side and grabbed my arm comfortingly, "Let's go hunt. You will feel much better afterward."

I nodded and followed them out the door. The hunt didn't take long. I surrendered to my instincts. It was easier than I thought it would be. I took down 2 deer easily. Once I was full, we headed back to the house. I walked into the living room, and all eyes fell on me again.

"Bella," Carmen said from behind me, "maybe you should go change."

I looked down for the first time. My jeans were ripped and my shirt was being held on by a few thin strips of cotton. "That would be a good idea. Then, can I see my baby?"

Eleazar nodded, "I have never seen a newborn with so much control. I think that will be possible."

I ran as fast as I could up the stairs and changed into a pair of jeans and one of Edward's button down shirts. I rolled up the sleeves and ran down the stairs. I was gone for a total of ten seconds. I laughed and they all looked at me with wide eyes, "I could really get used to the speed. I understand why Edward always preferred to run than to drive whenever possible. Can I see my baby?"

They all smiled and Charlie walked up to me. I breathed deeply trying with all my might to keep my control. He smiled widely, "Bells, I think you mean babies."

"Babies?" I said in shock, "As in, more than 1?"

He nodded, "You have 2 beautiful daughters. They are waiting for names."

Just then, I noticed Seth and Jacob walk into the room each carrying a baby in their arms. They didn't look like newborns though. They looked about 3 months old. Something else caught my eye. Jacob and Seth were staring at my daughters with eyes full of love. It was a pure love I had seen many times. It was true love. Seth was holding a little girl with bronze curls and green eyes. She looked exactly like her father. Her curls fell nearly to her shoulders. Jacob was holding a little girl with bronze hair as well, but hers was strait. It also fell nearly to her shoulders. Her eyes were a beautiful chocolate brown. She too looked so much like her father.

I walked over to Jacob, and he reluctantly handed me the sleeping baby in his arms. "You," I said smiling at my daughter "will be named Sarah Rose Masen Cullen." I gave her a quick kiss on her cheek and passed her back to Jacob who took her eagerly back into his arms. I turned to Seth who smiled as he handed me my daughter. "You will be called Cherie Alice Masen Cullen." I kissed her cheek and passed her back to Seth's waiting arms.

Jacob handed Sarah to Emily, and Seth passed Cherie to Sue. They both looked at me nervously. "Bella," Jacob smiled innocently, "can Seth and I speak with you privately for a minute?"

I looked over to Billy, Carmen, and Eleazar. They all three nodded in encouragement. I nodded to Jacob and followed them into the woods. They stopped about a mile away from the house.

Seth smiled and sat. "Bella, you may want to sit for this. Jake thinks you are going to freak, but I have more faith in you than that."

I sat on the ground across from him, "What is all of this about?"

Jake stayed quiet so Seth spoke up, "Did you see that little girl Quil was playing with inside?"

I nodded and he continued, "Her name is Claire. She is 2. Werewolves do this thing called imprinting. It is where one of us sees the one we are meant to be with. Something changes inside. It is like gravity isn't holding you to the planet. It is that other person. It is nothing we can control."

I looked at him confused, "What are you saying exactly?"

"Claire is Quil's soul mate. Right now, he is her best friend. When she is older, he will be the protective brotherly figure, and one day, he will be the lover she desires. He will be anything that little girl needs him to be until the day she dies."

I looked at Jacob who was still silent then back at Seth, "What does this have to do with me? Unless…"

Seth nodded, "I imprinted on Cherie and Jacob imprinted on Sarah."

"Wow," I was speechless, "I guess there is nothing I can do, but accept it. They will need you. We won't be able to stay here forever. Will you be moving around with us?"

They both nodded, "It feels weird to be away from them, even for a second."

I looked at them seriously, "I have made a decision that now concerns the two of you. I don't want to have to hide my family from Italy. It could be dangerous to try and hide. We need to introduce ourselves to the Volturi as a coven."
