:D Hello everyone! I hope everyone had happy holidays and new years!

I'm sorry this took a long time but I'm glad I'm done with this chapter. I added some extra trivia with the Cullen sibs. I don't know what their specialty subjects or hobbies are so I added ones I thought would fit them perfectly. I also don't know how many languages they know so I added what I figured they would know.

*Port Angeles*

Edward helped Bella walk off the plane to meet Charlie. They both walked really slow compared to the other passengers, which Bella liked so she could talk to Edward for a little bit. "Will you stay?" asked Bella.

Edward shook his head "I have to go talk to Tammy first about this whole mess."

"Oh." Bella frowned. "Why am I so jealous of her? I know she isn't the least bit interested in Edward. She was barely near him in Phoenix and she spent all her time with the others. She also gave me a 'Get Well' present."

"It's nothing to worry about. First off I need to find out how she found out about us." "From the looks of it, she'll probably be part of our lives." He thought to himself. He also didn't want to mention that or the others are becoming fond of Tammy. He smiled down at Bella. "As soon as I'm done, I'll come straight over to your house." He kissed her "I promise."

Bella was a little caught off guard and blushed. When she was able to catch her breath she said "I'm sorry. I don't mean to be jealous. She is really nice and I know she isn't interested in you…"

Edward smiled "You have nothing to be worried about. When they were in the waiting room, she spent most of her time talking or texting Derek on her cell phone. The other times, she was talking to her brothers. They were making sure she was still alright."

"Where are her brothers? I mean do they live nearby?"

"The oldest one Chris lives in Seattle-he runs a small store and the second one Alex is finishing college in her home town San Antonio. Alex should be graduating this year."

"Oh. Is Tammy at your house or is she visiting her Aunt in the hospital?" asked Bella.

Edward nodded his head "Tammy should be back at the house now."

"Now? Didn't they leave early this morning?" asked Bella.

"Yes but she met up with Derek for lunch. I think this will be her last night with us. Carlisle had mentioned that her Aunt is doing a lot better so Tammy will probably go back home tomorrow. Her Aunt didn't want to be so vulnerable when Tammy came home, so Carlisle let her stay a little bit longer after her test were done and she talked to Charlie. Her Aunt wanted to take care of everything before she and Tammy would go back home."

"What about her Uncle? What's going to happen to him?" Bella looked at Edward.

"I'm not sure on that." Edward admitted. "All I know is Carlisle had told me that he was arrested but that was it."

"I hope things work out for her. I can't imagine what she's going through or how she's feeling." Then Bella asked "Are you going to let her be part of your lives after you talk to her?"

"I don't know love. I have to find out how she knows about me and my family. If I can get her word that she won't tell anyone, then maybe I'll let her be part of our lives. I'm still not sure." Edward confessed. "I honestly don't know if she will. Maybe she will. It will be better…"

"Maybe she will keep your secret. She does seem trustworthy." Said Bella.

Edward smiled. "That's another way to look at it."

Then they both got quiet because Charlie came forward and hugged Bella. "Alright let's get you home." Charlie turned to Edward. "Do you need a ride home Edward?"

Edward shook his head "No, my father will be picking me up in baggage claim."

*At the Cullen House*

Tammy sat on the couch in the middle between Emmett and Jasper with Rosalie sitting in Emmett's lap and Alice sat on the arm next to Jasper. They had all been watching TV which had been really addicting, especially the shows that Tammy had introduced to them.

"Finally there's something worth watching other than the news!" laughed Emmett.

"I'll admit that this show is rather amusing." Smiled Alice. "The two guys remind me of Emmett and Edward when he wants to have fun."

"I preferred the other show we were watching before this but this isn't that bad." Replied Rosalie. "The blond one though is pretty annoying."

"Come on babe this is awesome! Much better than the other one." smiled Emmett.

"This is funny too Emmett." Laughed Jasper. "I'll admit it does make working in a hospital more fun and amusing."

"I like that main character guy. What was his name again?" asked Emmett.

"JD." Replied Tammy.

"Who's the older doctor that's always picking a fight with Perry?" asked Jasper.

"That's Kelso." Said Tammy.

Esme got off the phone and walked over to everyone "Well, I just got off the phone with Carlisle. He said your Aunt is doing better. Carlisle said she might even be well enough to go home tomorrow. He and Edward should be home any second now."

Everyone looked at Tammy and she formed a small smile "That's good. I do miss her." "I shouldn't be surprised. I mean it's not like she got severely hurt- well at least physically. Sigh. I've gotten too comfortable here."

They heard a car pull up. "That's them." Replied Alice.

"Oh goody Edward is home." Rosalie frowned.

"Aww great that means fun is over." Grumbled Emmett in his mid.

"Guess that means we better get up." Thought Jasper.

Everyone scattered and left Tammy sitting on the couch by herself. "Great." Since Scrubs was on a commercial, she changed the channel and found a movie on. "Huh. How ironic."

Edward could hear the TV and as soon as he entered the room, he heard the lines "She's the most important event that's taken place in this house in 80 years."

"She is right. It is very ironic." Edward thought to himself before saying softly "I need to speak with you."

Tammy nodded. "Here we go." As she got up "Oh snaps! I'm gonna miss the rest of the new episode…"

Edward looked at her curiously "What episode?"

"We'll record the rest of the episode for you." Said Alice stepping forward. She grabbed the remote and changed it back, pushing record.

"Your tv can do that?" asked Tammy. "What am I saying? Of course their TV can do that. Great now I sound really stupid."

"Of course our TV can do that. I mean, we all maybe old but we aren't out of date when it comes to technology. We keep up with the times." Joked Emmett.

Tammy laughed a little "Sorry, our TV at home doesn't really-well we've never recorded anything on ours. I have the thing that plays DVD and VCR."

"Ah the VCR I remember that." Sighed Emmett rapping his arm around Rosalie, smiling and looking up at the ceiling.

Everyone laughed at Emmett's remark.

"Aright, let's go." Said Edward.

"Go easy on her Edward. She's still a little delicate." thought Alice.

Edward just nodded his head and lead Tammy out through the back door. They walked for a while until they came across a small river where Edward motioned Tammy to sit on a bolder and he sat down as well.

They were quiet for a while-except for Tammy playing another song in her head. "Be an object of devotion, Be the subject of psalms,It's a rather touching notion…"

Edward said "You have the strangest and most random songs I've ever heard of."

Tammy laughed nervously "Yeah… it's my own personal radio. I sometimes don't have control over it. It just happens."

Edward laughed "I'm surprised most of it is a little old school. I've met some people who play songs in their head but their songs are more recent. Yours aren't."

"I'm not that crazy with the new music now and days. I like some the songs but I like the oldies more." Explained Tammy. "Everyone is always playing what's new so unless I really, really like it, then I'll be glad to download it but only a few have caught my attention."

Edward nodded his head "That's understandable. My room is full of CD's that are oldies. I like classical."

"Classical is good. I like to listen to that. Mozart and Beethoven are cool. I have a few instrumental songs on my MP3." Smiled Tammy.

Edward was impressed. "Cool." Then he got serious "So…how did you find out about us?"

"Alright it's time…" "I…I…" Tammy sighed and shook her head. "I think it may be best if I showed you. That way I don't fully get in trouble."

Edward gave her a funny look "What do you mean you'll…" That's when Edward saw a young man who was a little older than he was. He looked a little older than Emmett and Rosalie. He was talking to Tammy. Edward sort of recognized him. The boy talked about how the Cullens were the Cold ones and then Tammy showed him a younger Billy Black, with some little kids around a campfire telling the stories of legends of the wolves and the cold ones.

Edward's eyes widened. "You're a descendant of the wolves?" He whispered "If she is a decedent of wolves than this will be impossible."

Tammy shook her head "No, I'm not-at least not that I know of." "I might as well tell him any way¸ there's no turning back now since he already knows that I know…" "My cousin Sam, he's the leader. We aren't related by blood but by marriage. His mom is related to me somehow. She's I think my third cousin but Sam, my brothers and I grew up together so we just see each other as regular cousins. When we were little, my brothers and I used to come visit my Grandma here and Billy Black will tell us the stories about the old legends. So I grew up with these but I forgot all about the stories until Sam pointed it out to me."

"I see. So what did Sam say when he found out you were here?"

"He was really pissed off. He even thought of breaking that treaty you guys have, he wanted to come over here and save me but Billy calmed him down. And that's where Charlie came in to the picture- to help keep an eye on me. To make sure that I wouldn't get hurt- But Charlie trust your family and so does Aunt Amie."

Edward raised his eyebrows "Really?"

Tammy nodded "Yep! That's why Charlie let me stay here after Esme had offered. And Aunt Amie was happy that I was safe and with a decent family. She's not that crazy about Mrs. Stanly either." "Who would be?"

"I don't blame her. Jessica and her mother are so vile. You should hear their thoughts." Replied Edward. "It's bad enough I have to hear everyone else's mindless stupid thought and with those two thoughts…." He grunted furiously. "Just talking about her drives me crazy enough."

"I can imagine. Mine are probably as stupid as everyone else's." She thought to herself before she spoke "I feel so bad for you. As if them talking was bad enough."

Edward's eyes widened "Oh no!" His face softened "Trust me yours are different. Yours are very innocent, cute, feisty, fascinating and a little entertaining. Not at all like this…" He cleared his throat and pretended to curl his hair with his finger while mimicking some snobbish girls at school " 'Oh Edward Cullen is so cute! I wish he would like me instead of Bella!' " He rolled his eyes. Tammy busted out laughing and Edward smiled "You do not sound at all like that. In fact, you're the only girl I know at school-or actually ever to not be attracted to me- well Angela Webber is a little bit the same."

Tammy stopped laughing and sat up "Well you are attractive but…" she looked at Edward up and down and shrugged "I don't know I mean I just don't see you that way. You don't look that hot that makes me want to think that way about you or do this." She growled like how some guys growl at a girl to say that she's sexy.

Now it was Edward's turn to laugh and he smiled "Well I guess that's good that you don't see me as ugly and it is a huge relief to meet someone that doesn't always have me on their mind like most of the opposite sex."

"Oh come on, you can't tell me that you get tired of Bella always thinking about you." Joked Tammy.

Edward frowned "I can't read her thoughts actually."

Tammy's eyebrows scrunched together "What?"

Edward nodded "Yes it's….sigh it's very frustrating at times. I'm so used to reading other people's thoughts-even when I don't want to- and Bella's thoughts I can't. I don't know why. It's never happened before."

"I can see why that would be frustrating but if you think about it, it's even. You can't read hers and she can't read yours."

Edward nodded "I guess it is fair if you put it that way."

They were quiet for a while before Edward asked "Is it true what you told Rosalie? That you never want to be immortal?"

Tammy looked at him funny until it hit her. "He must mean when Rosalie and I talked." "Oh yeah! Yeah I don't want to be immortal." She looked around and looked past Edward. "Just the thought of living forever….I don't know…I would probably run out of things to do." She laughed and looked back at Edward "I rather live my life to its fullest!"

Edward smiled "That's good."

"I don't think I could handle being seventeen forever-no offence Edward."

"Yeah I don't blame you. Seventeen isn't all that great. Unless you want to repeat high school over and over again." Replied Edward. He sighed "I wish Bella would understand. She wants to change and be like me."

Tammy turned her head to the side "It's easy to see why; she wants to be with you…"

Edward looked at her in disbelief "What do you mean?"

"It's obvious that she loves you and just wants to spend eternity with you."

He sighed "I thought you didn't believe in immortality."

"I don't…but this is a little different."

"If Derek were to ask you to spend eternity with him would you?" asked Edward.

Tammy opened her mouth to speak but closed it, thought for a moment and then spoke "I don't know. It's different for you and Bella because you love each other. I don't know if I love Derek yet. I mean we just became a couple and started dating…"

"You made it official?" Edward half smiled.

Tammy smiled a little embarrassed "Yeah just earlier today when I met up with him for lunch. Alice and Rosalie had me dress up a little bit nicer. She wouldn't tell me why, though. I'll have to thank her and Rosalie later."

Edward smiled "I can imagine with Alice. Rosalie is another story." He then got serious "So if you and Derek were in love would you become immortal with him if he were?"

Tammy shrugged "Probably if I really loved him and he loved me." Edward sighed and Tammy moved a little closer to Edward "Edward I'm not going to be immortal. Especially not today!" She laughed a little.

Edward couldn't help but smile and laugh a little at what she said. "Good! And it better stay that way. It's bad enough Bella wants to become a vampire. I don't want to have to convince you to stay mortal too."

"I'm good. Trust me."

"You don't know how happy I am to hear that. You wouldn't believe how many humans would jump at the chance to become immortal. It's not that fun, especially when you're a vampire." Replied Edward.

"Yeah I don't know if I could handle being a vampire forever."

Edward shook his head and smiled "Nah I don't think you can either."

They both laughed and became quiet again until Tammy got the courage to speak first. "So…now what do we do?"

Edward looked at her. "Well you already know about us. We've been talking here about personal issues and immortality. And you haven't said anything to anyone about me or my family right?"

Tammy shook her head "No I haven't. I won't say anything about you or your family to anyone unless you tell me it's ok." Then she smiled "Besides it's not like I'm popular at school."

Edward smiled "Then I guess we have nothing to fear. You're more than welcome to come by the house any time and once Bell gets a little bit better, we can double."

"Really?" Tammy hesitated. She didn't want to jump into any conclusions. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am positive. You and Derek aren't like most of the people here." Edward nodded his head.

"Yeah that's an understatement. Most of people here are assholes." And then she smiled "No I don't mind. The others are really fun to be around. Even Rosalie."

As they walked back, they continued to talk about each other.

"So what is it like being a vampire? Aside from the blood drinking?" asked Tammy.

"It's very dull if you ask me. We drink blood from animals which I'm sure Rosalie or the others filled you in on." Edward looked at Tammy and she nodded so he continued. "It's not the same as drinking from humans but it suffices. We don't sleep at night so there's a lot of free time to fill up. We've all taken up hobbies and learned new languages."

"What kind of hobbies? Like ship in a bottle?"

Edward snorted "Be serious Tammy. And no I don't mean ship in a bottle."

"Come on you can't tell me you've never tried it." Smirked Tammy.

"Emmett and I don't have the patience for it. It doesn't appeal to Esme, Alice or Rosalie, Jasper has never considered it, and Carlisle has tried it before once-which he said it was ok-but I doubt he'll ever do it again." Then Edward smirked "Besides have you tried it? With all the free time you had before you met us I would think you should try one."

Tammy shrugged "No, but that's because I don't know where to get one. Besides, I don't know if I have the patience for it either."

"Oh you've got patience if you can handle Rosalie."

"So what hobbies did you pick up?"

"I play the piano, read Carlisle's medical books and other books. Emmett, likes to play sports, challenge us to competitions, come up with pranks and jokes. He's actually very smart when it comes to physics. I believe you have him and Jasper for Physics don't you?"

"Yeah they both sit in the back but I thought all of you were smart in everything."

"We are. It comes studying these subjects at night and from retaking these subjects over and over again. Jasper is usually quiet and will read a book or if not he'll read up on astronomy. He's also very good in militarism and history. He could lead an army if he wanted to."

Tammy looked at Edward "Really? Jasper likes astronomy? I wouldn't be surprised with the militarism thing. He seems like he can pull it off. He looks like he has no emotion and quiet…like he's plotting something."

Edward nodded "Yes he's very fascinated by the stars and planets in the solar system." Edward looked up at the sky. It was very late in the afternoon and the sun was about to start setting. "In Jasper's time, there was no electricity still. They were still able to look at the stars. Even then they fascinated him. As for the plotting thing, he's harmless."

Tammy smiled "Yeah he is once I got him to open up and talk a little. When was his time?"

"He was born in 1844." Edward looked at her and smiled "He was born in Texas like you."

Tammy smiled "Cool. I wonder what Texas was like back then."

"You can feel free and ask him. I think that's one thing that he was curious about you was that you too were born in Texas. It's been a long time that he's met anyone from the southern states."

"So what are the other's hobbies?"

"Alice is the easiest to figure out. She shops a lot and chooses our clothes. She loves everything about fashion and is updated on everything new. She's very creative like you and is strong in philosophy. Alice loves giving Bella make overs and from the looks of it, she's getting a hold of you too."

Tammy nodded "Yeah Bella doesn't like it very much but I don't really mind and it is kinda funny watching Bella's reaction to Alice getting her to try on clothes or giving her styling tips." She happily looked at Edward "So what are Rosalie's hobbies?"

"Well she does share the same hobby for fashion like Alice. She does like music like me but her hobby is fixing up cars. She's our own personal mechanic. I'm not sure how she does it but she's great at it. She's usually the one you go for if you want beauty tips I guess. Alice sometimes does. And other than being self-absorbed that's Rose's hobbies."

"So what kind of language do all of you know?" asked Tammy.

"Other than English, we all know French, Spanish, Germen, Italian, Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Irish, Scottish, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Russian, and Arabian. Right now we are currently learning Portuguese."

Tammy's mouth dropped "Holy crap!"

Edward laughed "I told you we have a lot of free time. Well Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Alice and I grew up learning French and English. Carlisle had a head start from the rest of us since he is the oldest. Jasper grew up learning Spanish and English. Emmett was from a Scottish-Irish family so he knew that."

Tammy stopped walking "Wait, do you know Sign Language?"

Edward raised his eyebrows "American Sign Language? Yes."

Tammy jumped up and down "Show me please!"

Edward smiled and laughed "Ok, ok." He rapped his two index fingers together, with his right hand- that was in a fist- facing forward and his left hand -that was in a fist- was facing him. Edward spoke "This means friends."

Tammy smiled and imitated what he did "Friends," She didn't noticed that they were near the Cullen house and everyone watching them from the window.

Edward could read their minds clearly which he tried to ignore but couldn't.

"Awww." They all spoke out loud.

This made Edward laugh since he could hear them clearly.

"What?" asked Tammy putting her hands down.

"Everyone saw us and think it's cute." Replied Edward.

"About time Edward." Thought Rosalie.

"She'll be good for you Edward." Smiled Jasper. "She really is a funny little thing."

"It's nice that Edward now has someone to talk to outside this house other than Bella." Thought Carlisle.

"She really is adorable, polite and the kids do love her. She'll be a good friend for Edward and she really brings out the best in him the way a friend should. " Thought Esme cupping her hands together.

"Can we keep her? Can we keep her?!" asked Emmett. He then picked up a cat carrier and pointed at it.

As Tammy and Edward walked closer to the house, they both saw what Emmett was holding. Edward didn't want to know where Emmett got the cat carrier from. He frowned. He heard Jasper chuckle "She's not a cat Emmett."

Rosalie took the cat carrier out of Emmett's hands as Alice giggled. "She would be fun to have around!"

"I don't know if I should laugh or be insulted." Tammy smiled.

"I wouldn't blame you if you left." Laughed Edward.

"Edward, I spent the almost a whole week with your family. I'm sure I can handle them." Then she smiled "Although you guys hanging out with me is at your own risk."

Edward grinned "I think I can handle it."

:) I hope you enjoyed it! I'm already working on the next chapter, which I think will be the last. If you haven't noticed already I made a double surprise, I also updated Gives You Hell for those that are following both stories. Check it out if you haven't and are Sailor Moon fans.

Please review and let me know what you think of this story!
