I walked by Ness' room, and heard her talking to Milly. She was explaining her gift. She already knew about Alice's gift and mine.

"So, you can show people your memory's by touching them? But I've held your hand before and nothing ever happened."

I heard Ness laugh.

"Because I can control it, silly. I couldn't let that happen when you didn't know any of this. And you can come in mom."

She caught me.

I walked in, smiling and closed the door.

"How are you two? How are you feeling Milly?"

They both shook their heads, laughing. I sat on the bed, across from the two of them. It's been a few days, and things have been pretty good. Milly smiled at me.

"I'm OK. Still getting used to all this."

I smiled at Milly. I looked at Ness, and she smiled.

"I was just telling Milly about my gift. She's a little confused about how it works."

I looked at Milly, who nodded.

"OK, remember what I said about my shield?"

She nodded, looking at me.

"Yeah?"

I looked at Ness, who could see where I was going with this.

"I learnt to control it, and Ness has done the same. You couldn't see anything, because she didn't want you to. You didn't know about any of this. Alice's gift is more unpredictable, but it's still something we rely on. One bit of advice: if you don't want her to see what you're planning, keep changing your mind. You'll get used to it."

She nodded, and Ness shook her head.

"Come here."

Milly looked at Ness, confused. Ness put her hand on Milly's cheek, and Milly's eyes widened. Ness looked at me, smiling. Ness took her hand, and Milly just looked at her.

"Wow, and you've always been able to do that."

Ness nodded, smiling.

"Yeah. Something to do with my dads gift."

Milly knew about that, and she liked him even less. If that's possible. She looked at me.

"That must have been annoying. Him always in people's heads. Except yours."

I shrugged.

"It was a good thing he couldn't read mine. It annoyed him though."

Mildly nodded, and Ness shook her head.

"We all know you didn't like him, Milly. You won't upset anyone, by saying what's on your mind."

She looked at me, nervous.

"She's right, Milly. I came pretty close to punching him, on several occasions."

That made her laugh, and Ness smiled. Milly was starting to open up, even with Emmett. Now that she was afraid of him.

"Do I want to know?"

Ness answered for me.

"Put it this way: anyone who says something about Alice has a death wish"

Milly looked at me, and I looked away. Ness was right.

"Yeah, I always thought you two were close."

I looked at her, and she was smiling.

"Did everyone see it?"

They both laughed, and I glared at them, which made them laugh even more.

"You would have to be blind to miss it, mom."

I looked at Ness, and she laughed.

"OK, we'll, I'm going to make sure your brother isn't pestering Alice."

"Don't murder him."

I looked at Milly.

"I'll try."

I closed the door, and went downstairs.

Alice was on the couch talking to Rosalie. They smiled, when they saw me. I sat next to Alice, putting my arm around her shoulders.

"Ness is telling Milly about her gift. I was just telling her how to get around someone's gift."

I looked at Alice, who was glaring at me. I laughed, she's so cute when she does that. She didn't look pleased at my reaction.

"We'll, if you look at me like that, I can't take you seriously."

Rosalie laughed, and Alice looked at her.

"I still have to get you back for telling Bella I'm ticklish."

Rosalie looked at me. I just smiled, looking away.

"Something tells me, she would have figured it out on her own."

She had a point, but Alice wasn't pleased. And angry pixie = adorable.

"And looking at me like that isn't going to work. No one takes you seriously when you look at them like that."

Alice looked at me, assuming I would back her up. But, I had to agree with Rosalie.

"Rosalie's right." Plus the pout turned me to mush. But, she hadn't used that yet.

"Yeah, yeah. But, you like perky."

I smiled, kissing her.

"I never said I didn't."

She laughed, relaxing against me.

"I seem to remember you saying there's no one as perky as me."

I thought I'd gotten away with that. Rosalie looked at me, seeing how I would handle this.

"I find perky cute, sue me."

I shrugged, and Rosalie shook her head, smiling. Alice just looked at me. I smiled, and she put her head on my shoulder.

"You're lucky I like you."

I looked at Rosalie, and down at Alice.

"Somehow, I doubt you'd hurt me."

Alice shook her head.

"You know I wouldn't. But, I could subject you to a day as Barbie Bella."

I looked at her, an expression of mock horror on my face.

"You wouldn't!"

That made her laugh, and I wrapped my arms around her. Adam walked in, sitting down. He smiled at us, and looked at Alice.

"You OK, Adam?"

He looked at me, and smiled.

"Yeah, have you seen my sister?"

I told him she was upstairs and he went to find her. He kept glancing at Alice, as he went. I looked at Alice, when he was gone.

"He's going to try something. Soon."

She shrugged.

"Well, he'll regret it."

I smiled at her.

"No murders."

They were worried about me, but no one said anything to her.

"I'm not the one, who was contemplating it."

Well, what did you expect?

"We'll, can you blame me? I care about you, I don't want anything happening to you."

That made her smile, and she kissed me.

"Nothing's going to happen to me."

That evening we were in our room, when Milly knocked on the door, wanting to talk to Alice. Alice smiled, and left with her. I got changed and sat on the bed. Rosalie knocked on the door, coming in.

"Hey, you OK?"

She nodded, sitting on the bed. She opened her mouth, only to be interrupted by shouting downstairs. I could hear Alice's raised voice.

"Come on, Adam probably tried something. Lets make sure she doesn't kill him."

We rushed downstairs, only to see a very, very angry pixie and a pissed of Adam. Alice looked at me.

"I was on my way back upstairs when someone." She looked at Adam. "Tried to kiss me, and wouldn't take no for an answer."

Everyone else had rushed downstairs when they heard shouting.

"Adam, what the Hell were you thinking? You know she's with Bella."

I looked at Milly, who had her arm around Ness.

I walked over to Alice, wrapping my arms around her. Adam growled at me, and I pinned him.

"When someone says no, it's no. OK?"

He glared at me, but nodded.

"Good, now, you won't do that again will you?"

He shook his head, and I dropped him. I walked back over to Alice and wrapped my arms around her. Carlisle and Esme didn't look pleased and told Emmett to get Adam out of the house for a while.

He dragged Adam, out the back door, muttering about what he'd do if he done that to his baby sister again. I looked at Alice, and she dragged me back upstairs. Everyone else went back to whatever it was they'd been doing. I sat on the bed, pulling Alice onto my lap.

"I told you he'd regret it."
