Hello all! Sorry an update has taken so long. I've been busy with the holidays starting, work and being sick. Hope you can forgive me. I also finally got to see the new movie. Loved it! Think they did a good job keeping it with the book. But, i'm rambling. Anyway, enjoy the chapter. I don't own Twilight.

Seth POV

I pulled my car up the overgrown driveway and parked in front of the beautiful house. I really did like this place. Even though the memories of the Cullen's home in Forks were mixed, I still remembered more good then bad.

I got out of my car and sat on the hood to wait. Kira had called and asked me to meet up with someone at the old house around 11. It was 10:55 now and I was alone. She hadn't told me who I was meeting, but I trusted Kira. I looked upon the house and reminisced about all the hours we spent running around this place, keeping it safe from the pack. Sometimes I still can't believe it all happened. If I were being honest with myself, I had to admit that I fell in love with not just Kira, but her whole family during those days.

I smiled to myself as I thought about all the efforts Esme made to make Jacob, Leah and I comfortable. She gave us clothes, offered us showers and a place to sleep and she and Edward both cooked for us. I would never have guessed that vampires could be such good cooks. Of course, Jake and Leah declined to partake in any of Esme's kindness, but I sure did appreciate it.

The memory most vivid in my mind was the time Kira and I napped on the living room floor after a long night of running. It was definitely something we'd have to do again once she moved back into the house. I couldn't wait for my Kira to return to me. It really sucked having her so far away.

I turned around to look down the driveway as I heard another car approaching. It was a black BMW with dark tinted windows. I chuckled to myself, it had to be vampires. Moments later, the car parked and Bella and Edward stepped out. Their skin sparkled in the morning sun. Vampires really are beautiful creatures, once you get past the whole bloodsucking thing. Bella walked right up to me, folding me into a hug.

"Seth, it's so good to see you." Jacob had said that Bella had gained a much more outgoing personality since her turn. I couldn't help agreeing with him as I returned the hug.

Edward chuckled at my thoughts as he watched our greeting, offering me his hand once Bella released me. He pulled me into a half hug from the handshake.

"How ya been, Seth?" Edward asked.

"Great!" I replied cheerfully. "I'll be better once Kira moves back, but I can't complain too much. I'm honestly surprised to see you guys. Kira told me I'd be meeting someone up here, but she didn't tell me who it was. I was expecting a mover or something."

"Bella and I were just dropping off Jake and Nessie over at Billy's place for a visit. We're gonna spend a few days up at our cottage. Since we were heading this way anyway, Carlisle want us to give you something."

Bella handed me a plain tan business envelope. Curious, I opened it to find a set of keys, a cell phone and what looked like a credit card. I looked up at Edward, puzzled.

"The Keys are to this house. Carlisle figured you'd be living here just as much as Kira. The phone is on our family's plan. All of our numbers, plus a few others are already programed in for you. And the credit card, well, is exactly that, a credit card. Carlisle said, and I quote, 'Be Responsible.' "

I was stunned. I really didn't know what to say.

"Welcome to the family, Seth." Bella said cheerfully, breaking the silence. "You'll get use to all of it, trust me."

"Also, Carlisle wanted to know if you'd be willing to be the local contact for all the housekeepers and gardeners he's hiring to come by and get the place ready for Kira to move in. He figured you'd won't mind."

This pulled me out of my haze. "Yeah, sure. I can do that."

Edward looked over to Bella, then back at me. "Well, we've got places to go and people to meet up with. We're gonna stop by Bella's dad's place before we head to the cottage. I'm sure we'll be seeing you again very soon."

"Yeah, sure. It's great seeing you guys. And hey, tell Carlisle thanks for me when you talk to him again."

Edward nodded, then he and Bella got back into their car and pulled out of the driveway. I waved as they left, still in a mental haze. I pulled the three items out for the envelope, tossing it into my car through the open window. I pocketed the phone, put the keys on my keyring and carefully put the credit card in one of the secure folds of my wallet. The keys and the phone I understood, but the card was over the top. I'd never thought I'd ever see an unlimited balance credit card in person, let alone have one with my name on it.

After replacing my wallet in my back pocket, I walked up to the front door of the house and let myself in with my new key. The place was just was I remembered it, except all the furniture was covered in sheets and everything else was wrapped up, as if in permanent storage, waiting for the day members of the family would move back in.

I didn't venture further into the house, staying for only a few more minutes before walking out, re-locking the door as I went. This was all so unreal. I pulled the phone out of my pocket, finding it did contain almost 50 numbers already. I found Kira's cell in my contacts and hit call. It rang only once before a familiar voice came on the line.

"Hey, Babe. Got the package from Carlisle, I see."

"So, you knew he'd was giving me this stuff?"

"Yep, you're a part of the family now Seth, it's not like we're just dating. You imprinted on me. That's more permanent than marriage."

"Yeah, I guess." I agreed with her.

"Family is very important to Carlisle. After he was turned, he kept to himself in order to keep the people around him safe. He was so worried he'd hurt someone. He hated being alone, but what choice did he have at the time. Now that he has his family, he takes care of them. There is nothing more important to him than his family, whether they be vampires he made, one's he picked up along the way, or the occasional shape shifter. If you want me, then you have to take them as well. We're kinda a package deal."

I laughed. "There's no problem, I love your family. They're great. It's all just a little overwhelming."

"Don't worry, Sweetie. You'll get use to it."

"That's exactly what Bella said."

I could here Kira's amusement on the other line. "Well, she's right. Look, I gotta run. I figured you'd call me shortly after 11, so I took a quick break in anticipation. I'll call ya later tonight, OK? Usual time."

"Sounds good. I love you."

"I love you too. We only need to survive another week and a half. We can make it." She joked, before hanging up the phone.

I sighed heavily as I got into my car. It was going to be a long week and a half.

So, what do you think? Let me know.
