Destiny woke up on an unfamiliar couch. She raised herself up to see an olden style room. An office? She looked down to see herself in a gown.

"Dr. Culle- Carlisle?" She corrected.

"Yes?" She turned holding her chest as her heart threathened to explode. He laughs a bit, "My apologies. Your clothes are almost done in the wash."

"Maybe she's right to fear you." A masculine voice stated from her side. She turned to see pretty bronze colored hair.

"Aren't you supposed to be at school, Edward?"

"Needed to feed." He muttered back. Destiny raised an eyebrow.

The girl then looked back and forth between the two. They looked like they could pass for siblings.

"Is he, your brother?" Edward snorted and Carlisle shot him a look.

"This is my son, Edward." Son. Destiny's face quickly became mortified.

"Oh my fuck. Do you have a wife? Am I being a homewrecker right now?" Carlisle shakes his head with a smile.

"They are adopted. Me and my best friend, Esme, co-parent them."

"Co-parent?"

"Yes. We have 5 children. Alice, Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie, and..." His eyes flickered to the bronze haired boy that was looking through the bookshelf.

"What did he mean by feed? Don't schools have cafeterias?" She questioned and Carlisle sent Edward a withering glare.

"We'll explain tonight at dinner. Bella is coming."

"Bella. Bella Swan?" She asked curious as to why her friends daughter would be here. The friend that she abandoned in Seattle for weeks. Her eyes closed in acceptance that she would have to face Charlie sometime.

"Yes. I will explain later."

----

A few minutes later, Destiny watched as Carlisle brought in a caramel haired woman with similar gold eyes.

"You must be Esme. I'm Destiny."

"You're gorgeous." Esme smiled bending down towards Destiny's 5'1" figure.

"I didn't expect Carlisle's friend to be so pretty." Destiny complimented under her breath. In all actuality, she was nervous especially after what happened between her and Carlisle yesterday. Esme didn't take any notice to her breathy tone as she pulled her into a handshake.

Thank you, and may I say that you have beautiful hair." Esme returned with another compliment running her finger through the tips of her locks.

"I was born with it. Stands out." She commented.

"No beauty is without it's flaws." Carlisle stated from the doorway. The blonde girl blushed from her doctor's comment.

"Carlisle." Esme scolded "You aren't supposed to have relationships with your patients."

He let a cough rumble in his chest "We are a special case."

"We are not in a relationship." Destiny stood up, "I told you last night. No."

"Carlisle, you haven't told her yet?"

"No."

"Told me what?" She raised a single inquisitive eyebrow.

"I will tell you and Bella at the same time. I just ask that you won't hate me. I don't believe I can live with that."

Destiny stared at him for a long time before finally speaking.

"And if I go to someone else?" She muttered. Esme seemed to tense looking between them.

"I will respect that decision. A bond is no hold over you." Carlisle stated, "I asked that you think carefully about your decision. I already cherish the time I have with you."

A pang or fear and heartache took hold inside of her. Worse than with Charlie. She wasn't the type to lead people on.

"I don't make promises. Don't get your hopes up." She answered truthfully. Carlisle nodded.

----

At about 3, Edward left to get Bella and all 7 of them sat in the kitchen making Italian.

"Shouldn't we tell her basic information before Bella gets here. I mean Bella knows more." Emmett suggested. Rosalie grimaces as Esme smiled.

"You should ask Carlisle. She has been a big help."

"I got the stuff from the car." Destiny chirped putting down all the bags.

"And I got the knives." Emmett chuckled at her eye roll.

"Who is muscle man?"

"That's Emmett." Carlisle stated unbagging the items.

"Ugh. Reminds me of some of my ex boyfriends. High school wasn't a pretty place."

Emmett let out a full belly laugh at that. Rosalie joined with a soft laugh of her own punching Emmett.

"And I'm assuming that you're Rosalie. You don't look like an Alice."

"You'd be correct." She confirmed grabbing the cheese.

"I'll sauté. I have done it in my past." Carlisle offered.

"Carlisle, wait. We should tell her more before Bella gets her. Bella knows what we are already. It will be easier to take the next news."

"It will be easier for her to take it if she has a kindred spirit with her." Carlisle offered his opinion putting the skillet on the stove.

"Be careful, Carlisle."

"I'm back. I washed my hands." Destiny stated showing off her clean hands. Emmett shook his head with a grin beginning to cut chicken.

After a few minutes, Destiny could hear a car in the drive way. She paused in her cutting to look up.

"Is she even Italian?" Rose asked looking around.

"Her name is Bella." Emmett commented.

"She's not but it's sweet that you put in so much thought." Destiny offered her opinion.

"You have no idea." Rosalie breathed.

"I'm sure she'll love it." Carlisle said simply ending the conversation.

"Ooh, get a whiff of that. Here comes another human." Rosalie said in a sing song voice. Destiny looked up with a questioning stare. Another human?

"Rose." Esme said firmly before rushing around the counter to greet the newly arrived Bella. "Bella, we're making Italiano for you."

"Bella, this is Esme. She's like my mother for public purposes." Destiny tilted her head at that listening closely. Emmett waved his knife and Destiny scolds him lightly with a tap to the hand.

"Bonjourno." Bella says shyly.

"Molto bene." Esme responded. Destiny felt a bit irritated by the wrong pronunciation, having taken Italian classes in high school.

"Given us an excuse to use the kitchen for the first time." Carlisle said with a welcoming grin. This increase the white haired girl's curiosity.

"I hope you're hungry." Esme adds afterwards.

"Yea, absolutely."

"She already ate." Bella and Edward say at the same time.

Suddenly there was a crash, Destiny turned to see the broken remains of a glass bowl in Rosalie's hands.

"Perfect." She gritted out

"Are you alright?" Destiny asked. Rose gave her a look and instantly calmed under Destiny's concerned gaze. She nods looking away with an embarrassed expression.

"Yea- It's just- I know you..." Bella pauses a bit "I know you guys don't eat so of course?"

"They don't eat?" Destiny inquired.

"Destiny?" Bella asked finally noticing her

"What does she mean?" Destiny turned towards Carlisle, "What does she mean?"

"Come with me to the living room. Everyone." He commands and everyone begins to gather there.

"Can we stop pretending like this isn't dangerous for all of us?"

"Rose..." Esme attempted to reason but the golden blonde wasn't having it.

"You're telling 2. 2 humans our secret." She punctuated.

"Secret?" Destiny asked.

"They're vampires." Bella said causally before quickly covering her mouth.

"That right there. Proves my exact point."

"Rose." Carlisle started but he was interrupted by a certain platinum blonde that stood on the coffee table to reach his height.

"Carlisle, what have you guys been telling this girl?"

"Omg! Hi!" A girl with a pixie hair cut came in with a big grin spreading from ear to ear.

"Who are you and why are we hugging?" Destiny questioned returning the hug with an awkward back pat.

"I'm Alice and this is Jasper."

"Ok and I will ask this once. Did you jump from the branch of the 11 foot tree?"

"Yep."

"Oh my fucking god." Everyone laughed under their breath.

"Everyone is a vampire. Well, except for you and Bella." Carlisle reached for her and she pulled away slapping him in one smooth movement. The man didn't move an inch.

"Carlisle, that was for lying to me. Keep going." Why was she so angry about this? She'd known Carlisle for a few weeks already but... It wasn't her place to accuse him of lying.

"Do I want to?"

"You'll get slapped again for withholding your relationship to me." Destiny's mind facepalmed from embarrassment.

"Damn Carlisle, already being dominated by the short one." Emmett chuckled.

She turned to him with a death glare "I will..."

"Will what?"

"Don't find out." With that she turned back to Carlisle. "What are you going to tell me and Bella?" The brunette perked up at the sound of her name.

"Vampires have mates. Specifc people that we are meant to be with."

"That means..." Bella trailed off looking to Edward.

"Destiny, you are my mate. My rightful lover."

"Oh."
