A few of you know that I almost lost this...I would've died if I had to re-write it.

Anywho, this is it.


Sitting on the hill in the grass, I looked around the countryside that was now my new home. The leaves on the trees were full of autumn colors. It was still so surreal the changes in my life the last few years. Although crazy things had happened, I wouldn't change it for the world. I was happy.

"Hey babes," I heard in my ear as a pair of scorching, hot arms wrapped around me. I squeezed Seth's arms and reached back to kiss his cheek.

"Hey, yourself."

"What are you doing out here by yourself?" He asked innocently, but I knew the meaning behind it.

"Seth, they're not coming back for me. Please don't worry," I leaned my cheek to his and rubbed the other side of his face.

"I can't help it. I almost lost you once," he whispered and he squeezed me tighter. He was overly protective since the encounter with Demetri and he rarely let me enjoy my new home by myself. I didn't mind so much as long as Seth was there with me. I didn't like to be away from him either. I just didn't want him to worry so much.

I turned my body around to look at him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist.

"The Cullens made it perfectly clear to the Volturi that I did not want to join their coven. Remember, Carlisle ensured us that they know I belong to the Cullens and the Volturi can't force me to become one of them." Even though that wasn't entirely true. I didn't belong to anyone but Seth. That was just the story Carlisle made up to guarantee my safety. "Demetri has no right to come back for me. He wasn't even supposed to confront us without speaking to the others anyway."

"Hopefully that creepy, ancient bloodsucker gave that bastard hell for almost starting another battle," Seth muttered while grinding his teeth. I gave him a disapproving look. He gave me an apologetic smirk in return.

"Well it's a good thing you guys didn't finish Demetri and the other two off or there would've been," I sighed and shivered thinking of Seth lying in a broken heap in this very same grass.

Seth had received the bulk of the attack before the other wolves and Nessie made an appearance. Several of Seth's bones were broken and he had to have several reset. Although his body healed quickly, he was still in extreme pain for about a week. His left leg still gave him problems.

"I can't get used to how hard you are," he said while poking at my waist, changing the subject. I just rolled my eyes and shook my head. I was constantly hearing that comment from him. He was fascinated with the way my body had changed. "And that smell, I can't get used to that either!" he teased.

"What's wrong with it? I think it smells delightful!" I said as I smashed my stinky egg-salad sandwich into my mouth. "Mmmm…it tastes good too," I moaned with my mouth full.

"Gross. I hate hard boiled eggs and celery," he pretended to gag. "You've been eating those every day since your cravings started."

"The baby likes 'em too!" I said while rubbing my swollen, hard tummy.

"So, have you come up with any names yet, since you don't like the ones I've come up with?" Seth asked. I had vetoed just about every idea Seth had. He wanted his child to sound powerful, fast, and strong. His heart was in the right place, but the names he came up with were ridiculous.

"Sorry, but Jet and Hercules are not my style. I will consider Wolfgang, but the more I think about it…" I trailed off with a grimace on my face. "To be honest, I was thinking if it's a girl, we could name her Vanessa. Kind of after Renesemee. I would never take her unique name, but at least they could have the same nickname."

Seth smiled at that thought. He was so proud of his niece Nessie for helping save me from my transformation into a vampire. He took every opportunity he could to spoil her rotten. She had successfully sucked the venom out of my blood to stop the process. I found out soon after, Nessie's father, Edward did the exact same thing to her mother, Bella when they were in high school. That's where she got the idea. Thank God! The chilly scar that remained on my arm constantly reminded me of that afternoon four years ago.

"I like Vanessa," Seth nodded his head in agreement. "We'll have to discuss the boy's names though," he said. I just sighed. I was pretty sure if the baby was a boy, I would end up with a Wolfie.

"Well, we find out next week and we can battle it out then," I said and then kissed him with my egg-smelling lips. He kissed me back and grimaced from the taste. "Now let me finish my repulsive sandwich."

I turned around and snuggled backwards into Seth's chest. I enjoyed the view, and the rest of my lunch, wrapped in the arms of my loving husband.
