Novalee and Emma are at Sam's again, Embry is weird out by the fact his girlfriend adopted his little sister, but he's okay with it. Cheryl has gotten worse, her cancer's grew to a stage 4 and Emma denies seeing her. She's scared to, and Embry understands why. Right now, Embry, Jared, Paul, and Sam are off to get Jacob.

Jacob hasn't spoken to Bella in a long time. Not since he turned a couple weeks ago. Novalee knows Bella's concerned and scared he's leaving her. Sometimes, Nova swears Bella has abandoned issues or a fear of being abandoned. Novalee did, until her coven left her.

Emily is showing Novalee how to make muffins, since she will be becoming human soon and she's now a mom to a ten and half year old girl. Emma's almost eleven now. The front door bounds open, alerting them that the guys are home, Emma's our back playing on the swing set Sam set up for her.

"You guys hungry?" Emily asks, not looking at the guys as they enter, Embry wraps his arms around Novalee. "Or do i even have to ask." Emily turns and she spots Bella, when nova sees her - she tenses. "Oh, who's this?"

"Bella Swan, who else?" Embry responds as he sits next to Jared at the table, Novalee leans against the counter.

"Hmm..." Emily muses. "So, you're the vampire girl?"

"And you're the wolf girl?" Bella assumes, ignoring Emily's scars.

"I guess so, I'm engaged to one," Emily says and Jared reaches for a muffin.

Novalee smacks his hand away, earning a grunt of displeasure. "Save some for your brothers. And ladies first." She grabs the basket and holds it out to Bella. "Muffin?"

"Sure, thanks," Bella says gently as she grabs a muffin.

"Leave it to Jacob to find a way around Sam's gag order," Emily comments, making Novalee smirk as Emma comes in. "Emma, sweetie, get a muffin before your uncles devour the rest of them."

Emma nods and she grabs one. Jared eyes her with stern eyes.

"Don't look at me like that, uncle Jared," Emma scolds, he smirks and grabs one muffin. "Good." She hugs Nova. "Hey, mom."

"Are you ready to see Cheryl?" Nova asks and Emma shakes her head no.

"Jacob didn't say anything," Bella replies to Emily.

"It's a wolf thing," Embry comments. "Alpha's orders get obeyed, rather we want them to or not. Oh, and check it out!" He exclaims, making Emma roll her eyes. "We can read each other's thoughts."

"Would you shut up!?" Jared exclaims as he scarfs down the muffin he had. "These are trade secrets! Damn it. This chick runs with vampires." This makes Novalee laugh. "No offense, Nova."

"None taken," Nova replies with a smile.

"You can't run with vampires..." Bella says nervously. "Because they're fast."

"Yeah?" Jared asks tauntigly as he sits up a little. "Well, we're faster. You freaked out yet?"

"You're not the first monsters I've met," Bella replies, making Emma laugh this time.

"Jake's right," sam says as he enters the house. "You are good with weird." He kisses Emily. "Hey, Emma."

"Hi, Sam," Emma greets. "Can i watch the tv in your room?"

Sam nods, sending her on her way when Paul and Jacob come piling in. Paul playfully shoves Jacob while laughing. He smirks at Novalee before sitting at the table and stuffs his face with a muffin before turning to Bella.

"Sorry," he says with a full mouth before turning to the pack.

"They're always this disgusting," Novalee says to Bella.

"Shut up!" Jared groans.

"What you gonna do?" Novalee asks with a raised eyebrow.

Jared smirks. "Embry, we need a meeting later for what i can do to your imprint."

"Deal," Embry says.

"Embry!" Novalee gasps. "How rude."

He smirks before he throws a muffin at her. She catches it and hands it to Bella.

"Enjoy," Nova says. "They're heavenly. Emma! Come on, let's go home!"

Emma turns Sam and Emily's bedroom tv off before she runs after her new mom, they go to Forks amd back home. Emma goes straight to bed while Novalee takes a shower.
