It was a wild chase across the island. Our calls to our family were either not heard or ignored.
By the time we got there, the wolves were moving towards Dean and Rosalie had a grip on Clara.
"Stop!" I yelled to them.
All at once, they all turned and looked at me, including the wolves.
"Rosalie, let her go. Jacob, Seth, stand down." I demanded.
The wolves looked to each other before pulling back and walking back behind Emmett and Jasper towards their significant others.
Rosalie wasn't as cooperative. She let go, but she didn't step away, just stood directly in front of her.
"Rose!" Esme scolded.
Dean walked over and pulled Clara backwards.
"Babe, come on." Emmett said.
She still didn't move an inch.
"Rose, what happened to always trusting Carlisle and Esme?" Emmett tried again.
She stepped backwards before turning and walking over to Emmett.
"I'm very sorry." Esme said.
"So she does talk…" Dean said.
I ignored his comment. "This is my family." I said and I introduced everyone.
"This is quite a coven. Did you change them all yourself?" Clara asked.
"Not all." I smiled.
"We thought we would come and see how you lived. We were not aware your family was so protective." Dean said.
"And involved dogs…" Clara added.
Rosalie laughed at her comment.
The wolves growled quietly and Melody and Renesmee stood beside them, glaring at Clara.
"They have become a part of our family since they formed relationships with Melody and Nessie." I explained.
No one said anything for a moment.
"Let's show our guests to our home, shall we?" Esme broke the silence.
Melody, Renesmee and the wolves were the first to turn around, leading the way back to the house.
Dean and Clara stayed until the next morning before returning to their own island.
"Okay, now we can get on to our family bonding!" Alice sounded excited.
"Yay." Rosalie said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
"Rosalie…" I warned.
"Play nice, babe." Emmett said.
"What are we doing, Alice?" Bella asked.
"Okay, we're going to start with a partners exercise. Edward and I already know it so we can't do it or we will obviously win. You have to go with someone that isn't your significant other. Emmett, Jasper, you have to go together." She explained.
"Rose, you go with Jacob. Carlisle with Bella, Esme with Seth, and Ness, you go with Melody." Edward paired us up.
Alice explained what we had to do. We were told what we had to make, and we had to go get the right things from around the forest and bring it back to build.
Edward brought chairs out for Alice and himself. I high-fived Bella after we made a plan and we ran off to get the resources.
When we got back, Esme and Seth were trying to build but it fell and they were both rolling over laughing.
Bella and I got to building. We were doing alright but it fell over after a while.
"Carlisle that was definitely your fault." Bella laughed.
"I'm not even going to deny it…" I laughed with her.
It took a while but we finally finished and we bet everyone else.
"And the prise goes to Bella and Carlisle!" Alice said.
"That's not fair, Pop's the most logical here!" Renesmee whined.
"Suck it up Ness." Bella smirked. "You're not going to deny that either, are you?" She asked me.
We both laughed. I looked over at Esme and she had the biggest smile on her face.
"Alice, could we take a break before your next exercise?" Emmett asked.
"Fine, an hour." She agreed.
Esme and I took a walk around the perimeter.
"What was that smile for before?" I asked.
"You were so happy. It made me happy."
"I'm glad my happiness is contagious." I joked.
She nudged me and pulled me to a stop before planting a long kiss on my lips.
I left a string of kisses from her ear to her mouth and she laughed.
"Now I don't know whether to end the vacation early or continue on the normal plan. Everyone seems happy today, but it could change at any minute."
"I say we wait to see if anything else bad happens. If it does, we go home, if not, we have another week."
"Good plan." She nodded.
We continued walking around the island, talking and laughing.
When we got back to the house, there was yelling.
Esme sighed and her good mood dropped.
"Let's go see what happened." I said, my own mood dropping.
Alice was furious with Jasper but we couldn't work out why yet.
"What happened?" I asked Bella and Edward.
"Alice was talking to Jasper but he was reading and she started yelling about how he never listens and how he was looking at someone back in Rio but she decided to let it go but now she isn't so sure." Edward explained.
"And she accused that Jasper doesn't seem happy with her anymore and the word divorce came out somewhere in there." Bella added.
"What the hell is going on?" Rosalie asked when she came in with Emmett. Edward explained again.
"Damn it Jasper are you even listening now?" she screamed.
"Yes, I am and I'm rather confused." He raised his voice slightly, but he wasn't exactly yelling.
I decided interrupting wasn't the best option right now. Alice almost never raised her voice, and I hadn't seen her angry with Jasper in so many years.
Alice was out of the house in a whir and Esme followed her.
Jasper walked out and apologised to us.
"Dude, what did you do?" Jacob asked.
"I wasn't listening. And then I said something about her back in Rio not listening to me and she accused me of looking at other women when we were there…" he sat down.
"You weren't, right?" Melody asked.
"Of course not. I just…saw someone I knew and lost concentration on our conversation."
"Maria's friend…" Edward said.
"Yeah, but I only ever met her once, so it wasn't too confronting."
"So you were looking at her and Alice thought you were attracted to her?" Bella asked.
He nodded.
"I think it's about time we go back to Forks…" I sighed.
"You may be right." Rosalie agreed.
