Hey, everyone, Kishu here and welcome to my newest story. Sorry in advance for the lack of content since my last one but, every idea I had kept being trapped in writing purgatory except this one surprisingly enough.
Although depending on when I post this; it most likely got stuck under some more writer's block and I just recently got it out again. Hopefully the next story I write won't take nearly as long.
Also apologies if the POV gets confusing at times; first time writing more than two characters.
Anyways hope you all enjoy it. Thx.

Dull gold eyes stare up at the wall clock across them as Rosalie incessantly taps her nails against the counter she currently sits at with some of her family members. Soft grumbling can be heard nearby her right side but it's ignored in favor of trying to read the mostly abandoned stack of magazines in front of her once more.
"Ahem"
A blonde eyebrow twitches slightly but nothing further happens.
"Ahem!"
A page or two flutters loudly as they're turned; more grumbling can be heard briefly before a small pale hand is placed softly yet firmly on top of the magazine page in sudden defiance.
In response, Rose glares murderously at the black-haired culprit but a playful smirk is all she gets for her trouble. Not even a low growl stops the pixie's grin from growing ever slightly in mock spite.
"Move", says the irate vampiress, "now."
A hum and an eye roll are the only answers given; which causes a hand to clench in silent anger as thoughts quickly change between ways to "kill" the tiny brat in front of her and whenever Bella will decide to finally come home.
"Oh stop it, Rose; I'm just trying to get you to stop making that noise", mutters Alice while she examines her fingernails on the opposite hand before looking back, "Why don't you try doing something else? Like any of your "many" hobbies you have made over the years?"
A staring contest begins between them but is cut short when suddenly another throat clears causing Rosalie to turn her ire instead to the one responsible.
"At ease, dear sister; Alice is merely acting as a distraction til your mate returns", said Jasper as he looks up from his book and releases a wave of calm around the "fighting" duo.
Shoulders slowly relax from their rigid state as the blonde lets her "twin" brother's power flow through her body. A feather soft sigh escapes reluctant lips while calmer eyes open from their unknowingly brief yet closed state.
"I'm… sorry brother.. Alice… I just sometimes worry for Bella's safety whenever we're apart", murmurs Rose looking down with a small frown, "You'd think I'll be used to it after a while but…"
Petite hands are soon felt draped around her torso as Jasper nods his head silently.
"Aww, it's ok, Rose!", shouts the pixie as she touches their cheeks together affectionately, "I forgive you besides there were better and other ways to get your attention that I ignored due to my impulsiveness"
A contrite smile is shown once the psychic has moved her head away yet stayed in her sister's space. Blonde eyebrow raises briefly in question before lowering as Rosalie concludes that her dear sibling is telling the truth.
"Thank you Alice and Jasper… for both understanding and forgiving me", says the Blonde as she places a hand over the ones across her front, "Tho I do wish that you would try and fix your impulsive tendencies soon, dear sister. They can be trying at times."
"I concur", chuckles the mentioned cowboy as he smirks teasingly at his pouting wife. Playful banter soon settles over the siblings as they let themselves get lost in the moment together.

An hour and half later the trio relocated to the living room to continue with their small talk and watch whatever was interesting on TV. Which wasn't much but, they made due with what they could find.
Halfway through one of the more pleasing films, Rose noticed that her sister stopped mid-commentary and froze in a oh so familiar pose that the family grew to know best over the years.
"Alice?" both Hales say at the same time; their tones are of both concern and curiosity.
Of course said Seer doesn't say anything back; always trapped in her vision until it eventually releases its grasp on the vampiress.
Though once Alice is back under her own control; she gets up and blurs upstairs without further preamble to the other two. This however didn't bother them since this most often happened.
So, wordlessly, both Hales got up from the couch and headed to the midway point between the stairs and the front entrance. Said doors are opened by the Texan; just as their sister came back downstairs with a random thin blanket and black cover up dress.
Rose lifts up her right arm as Alice passes her and drapes the article of clothing over the limb. Looking down at it briefly; she knows quickly that it means that her love is returning soon.
Quiet excitement and happiness courses through her veins as the blonde rushes suddenly to catch up. Almost colliding with her siblings accidentally in her eagerness.
She bares a rare sheepish smile as the duo glance sideways at her in silent amusement. Both knowing and understanding why. The moment doesn't linger long however since soon they hear the sound of faint flapping of wings.
As if in a trance of her own, Rose steps a few more feet ahead and holds up her left arm high just as the maker of the earlier sounds breaks through what canopy the nearby trees make to land softly and gracefully on said appendage.
With eyes filled with forever awe; wonder and love, the vampiress stares across and at her mate's current form.
To her paler golden crown down to her dark brown with white gray tail feathers; Bella cut a fine and healthy figure of what was commonly known as Golden Eagle.
With a tilt of her head and sideways nod, the swan asked silently how Rose was doing while Bella was away from the house and her. Thinking for only a moment, the beauty hummed softly as her right shoulder lifted up in a noncommittal shrug.
"How was your flight? Any troubles?" Rose asks, as a single finger from her right hand gently caresses down her mate's soft breast feathers.
A slow blink then a quick head shake answers one of her questions; the other will remain unanswered until Bella has a chance to change back to human.
"Well… then are you ready to go inside, Mi Corazón Emplumado?"
A head tilt is all she gets before Bella suddenly flies up and swoops around her body causing the vampiress to follow the eagle as she soars over the area before passing behind a big tree and gliding over to where Alice now stands with the blanket from earlier now out in front of her.
Once the swan lands out of sight in front of the woolly barrier, Rose starts to stroll over. No sooner she arrives; does Bella reappear in sight, this time in human form.
Before a grumble can slip out of her love's lips, the blonde has helped slip on the relatively thin dress. Her modesty is mostly hidden under its dark fabric.
"Thank you, Rose" murmurs Bella as she fusses over the dress briefly with the help of her mate.
"Your welcome," the vampiress answers back, "again how was your flight, my love?"
"It was good. Joe tried to get a few pecks in again while I was nearby his territory", says the shifter in a pout. Rose gives a mock pout of her own before smirking teasingly.
"That sparrow is still holding that grudge, huh?"
"Yes! I tried explaining to him that it was an accident but, the darn thing won't listen!"
"Aww, poor Bella, afraid of a little bird?"
"Little nothing; that bird is as fierce as any bird of prey twice its size!"
"My, my, now that does seem like trouble huh? Should I give you a kiss for courage?"
"Hmph, no, you're just mocking me," mock pouts Bella as she tries to around the blonde and head inside, "I'm going in and getting away from you"
Barely a few steps are taken, before the shifter is hugged from behind.
"I'm sorry, Mi Corazon," Rose whispers against the swan's slowly pinking ear, "I was only kidding you know"
"I know; I know. Seems like it's routine at this point" giggles Bella as she turns around in the blonde's grasp to face her; lips forming a soft content smile, "Joe at this point might as well be a friend of the family's with how much I blab about him"
"That he should be," the vampiress says as she smiles back lovingly towards her mate, "Do you still want that kiss though?"
The brunette hums as she tilts her head in thought; no longer than a few minutes pass before she nods her head. Rose's smile grows slightly bigger before she leans in and gives her a kiss.
Feeling whole once more with dear sweet Bella.
"Ahem!"
Reluctantly the blonde separates her lips from the shifter's to glare at her pixie of a sister.
"What?"
"Sorry, to interrupt you two but, Bella should get inside before it starts to get too chilly"
Rose blinks slowly before looking around and noticing the slowly darkening sky above.
With a sigh and nod, she lets the brunette go; except for one of her hands.
"You're right unfortunately; no need to test a shifter's mettle against nature itself"
"You two do know that I'd probably be fine right?"
"True but, dear Rose doesn't want to risk that; now does she?"
"Touche"
"Enough! Let's go before I change my mind"
"Yes, Rose"
"Yes, dear sister", giggles Alice as she leads by hand a silent yet amused Jasper inside.
THE END
