"I'm surprised you two took a break from Jedi training." Jacob said to us. He was in the front seat, Seth and Renesmee was with me in the back of Bella's new car. Edward's gift to her after the marriage.

"Besides Alice, I know my dad misses Avalei. And if I don't take Renesmee to my dad, he'll come to us. 27 vampires and one human? Not so great." Bella explained. From that, I knew she was lying but again, I know I won't be able to get any info out of her.

"And a hybrid." I added, laughing a bit but calmed down. "I know that's what you told Edward." I said, looking into the mirror at her.

"Well I'm just glad to get away from all those reeking bloodsuckers." That made Bella glance at him sternly as she drove.

I scolded him via telepathy. I haven't been able to use that a lot recently because I've turned my mind powers off for awhile because there's too many people around to keep track of. I've only been able to read specific people's thoughts, those who matter to me the most.

"I'm sorry. I know. They're the good guys. But come on, Dracula One and Two are creepy." Jacob joked widening his eyes and we all laughed.

"No kidding. Then there's Alistair, he's always so sneaky." I added.

We finally made it to Charlie's and we got out. Renesmee running to Charlie.

"There she is. Come here. Oh! Wow! Look at you. You've grown half a foot! Seriously. Like 6 inches." Charlie commented, picking Renesmee up and spinning her a bit before placing her down again. I love how Charlie doesn't question the fact that Renesmee's grown way more in just the past 3 months.

Jacob, Seth and I walked up to them, greeting them with hugs and smiles.

"Come on inside. Lunch is on the table." Sue said and we followed them to the steps.

"We got a tree to decorate, huh?" Charlie said then we looked back at Bella who was still by the car.

"I've actually got a few errands to run, guys. I'll be back soon, okay?" Bella said then she got in her car and drove off. See something's up with her.

"Well Come on. Let's go." Charlie said as we followed them inside. I looked at Jacob, he too wondered where Bella's going off to but we went in to have lunch.

"I'm meeting Mr. Jenks." I said to the host. She guided me towards a table with a man already sitting there.

"Mrs. Cullen. Hi. I'm so happy you called. I always meet my private clients here. It's more comfortable than the office." Jenks greeted pushing my chair in as I sat, then went back to his chair.

"And it's more public." I added. "What type of work do you do, J.?"

"Oh, you know, this and that. It's always different, which keeps it interesting." He replied.

"Have you known Alice and Jasper long?" I asked him.

"I've been working with them for more than 20 years. And my late partner knew Jasper 15 years before that. He is, uh, unusually well-preserved." He answered.

"Yes, he is." I added.

"I trust that Mr. Jasper is enjoying his vacation." He stated. Vacation?

"He didn't tell you where he was going, did he?" I questioned him.

"No no no, he just mentioned that he was leaving when he came by to place his order." He informed. Order? What has Jasper and Alice been up to?

"I assume that his order is ready?" I asked.

"Of course. I've never been late with a delivery." He then passed over an envelope. I opened it to find some documents and 4 passports. Each one for Renesmee, Seth, Jacob and Avalei. They even had different names, Jacob and Avalei were now Jake Wolfe and Ava Wolfe, Seth and Renesmee were now Seth Luna-Wolfe and Vanessa Koda.

"There a problem?" He asked.

I straightened my composure, "No. My husband and I thought that we'd all be traveling together."

"Jasper said only 4 were traveling. His instructions were very clear." He ended.

"It's my mistake. Apparently, that's not going to happen." I finished, putting the passports back in the envelope.

Once we got home, Renesmee went straight to Edward who easily picked her up. "How ya doin'?" He greeted. Renesmee Es already more than half of Edward's height. I watched them all happy but I did not feel at all any happiness.

I went back to our little cabin and started packing a few things for Renesmee and Avalei. I came back to the main house as I started writing letters to each of them.

"It's a romantic notion, isn't it?" Alistair said weirdly popping out of nowhere, making me pause from writing for a second.

"That a righteous few can defy a great evil. I must admit, you even had me believing. For a moment." Alistair said, I just ignored him, finishing up the letters.

"Well, good luck. You're gonna need it. Cheers." He then left.

"The snow is sticking." I said while looking out the window.

"Hey, we still have today." Edward cooed next to me.

I looked back at the others, mostly at my dad, "I'm so glad Charlie found somebody to take care of him." Sue is great. But I do find it weird that if my dad likes her, and Seth's her son. Then there's Renesmee as his imprint...yeah too complicated just going to go with it.

"Bella, no one's giving up here." Edward remarked but my dad interrupted.

"All right! Present time! Let's go! Seth, Leah, stop eating. Jake, you start. Get it going." We joined them in the living room. I saw Avalei look at us, mostly at me, I knew she felt what I was feeling. I smiled slightly at her, she turned back towards Jacob when he gave her a present. I know she won't let this go.

They started unwrapping presents when I gave an envelope to my dad, "Well, Dad, we didn't have time to wrap yours, but here it is. It's a 5-day fishing trip to Fraser River. It's for you and Sue."

"You leave tomorrow." Edward added.

"Wow, that's really nice. Thank you. Tomorrow? I can't leave tomorrow." Dad started but Sue interrupted, "I made arrangements for you at work."

"Sneaky. And extravagant." Dad commented.

"And non-refundable, I'm afraid." Edward included.

"You two trying to get rid of me?" Dad asked, we all looked a little taken aback, I felt Jacob and Avalei look at me. "Because it's working!" Dad finished, laughing.

"Fraser River. That means we'll be chasing Cutthroat." Dad added, Sue went over to sit on his lap.

"We might even hook a Rainbow or some Bulls." She added.

"Woman knows her trout." Charlie complimented.

I saw Seth hand over a present to my daughter so I went over to them, "Hey, beautiful. Let me see." She held up a hand made bracelet.

"Seth made this for you? Wanna put it on?" I said to my precious daughter.

"It's so pretty." She commented as I placed it on her.

"It is really pretty." I patted her hair down and kissed her forehead.
