Alice skipped excitedly into the room. "Edward, don't tell them yet!" She said in her hyper voice.

"Don't tell us what?" Moaned Emmet, acting like an annoying 5 year old.

"You'll see soon, if you're good," Mocked Edward.

"As a matter of fact, you'll see in .1" Just then, Carlisle walked in with an odd look on his face, mixture between worry and excitement.

"Kids, we're having a meeting in the dining room NOW." He said.

A second later Carlise sat at the head of the table with Esme across from him. On his right was Edward and on his left was Bella. On Edward's right was Emmet on Emmet's Jasper and on Jasper's Jacob. On Bella's left was Rosalie on Rosalie's Alice and on Alice's Renesme. Ever since Bella had joined the family, this was how they sat so that each one was able to see their partner's reaction to whatever the news was.

"Now I want no interruptions. I do not care if they are comments or questions. This is very important. I just received a letter from an old acquaintance. He needs our help. Before I tell you what he needs, I must tell Bell, Renesme and Jacob a story."
