Chris' POV:

I had the boys setting up the spare room for Thalia, given that she would now be living with us. She said she would do late night patrols since vampires couldn't sleep. That made me happy that she was trying to help them. Thalia was at the Cullens, they were helping learn to feed on animals and giving her contacts. I was planning on adopting her, so she could have a real family. Jared and the boys would protect her.

" Chris!'' Sam yelled from upstairs, " We're finished!'' I sighed and began to walk the stairs. Tomorrow was Sunday, which meant I was going to see my Dad. I was going to tell dad about me adopting Thalia and having her live with Sam and I.

I got to the spare room and I was shocked, " Oh my gosh. This is a amazing.'' I said walking in to the small room.

" Took some time,'' Jared said crossing his arms.

I laughed, " Some time. It's been two days.''

They laughed and shrugged it off, " Jared wanted to get it done,'' Sam said teasingly towards his friend.

" yeah. Yeah. Throw me under the bus,'' He said in surrender, " so when she coming back?''

'' Tonight. But you don't get her till after tomorrow,'' I said to Jared sternly.

he looked at me confused, " Why?''

" Because, she is coming with me to see my Dad,''I explained causing him to sigh.

Sam looked at me concerned, " You think she'll be okay?''

I nodded, " I think we should worry about how my dad will react,'' I said honestly making Sam sigh, " don't do that. You can kill vampires, but you're afraid of my Dad.''

Jared laughed, " You're afraid of chief Swan?'' He asked chuckling.

Sam pushed and they began play fighting, " Take it outside!'' I yelled causing both od them to laugh.

Thalia's POV:

Lexi and I have been walking through the woods talking. We had finally gotten my thirst under control yesterday and we having some free time.

" So you and Jake?'' I asked her suggestively.

She laughed a nodded, " Yes, me and Jake. What about you and Jared?''

" I don't know. He's being a typical guy and refusing to make a move,'' I explained to her sadly.

She nodded in agreement, " Jake was the same way at first.''

" We should head back,'' I said and she shook her, " we have to.'' She sighed in defeat. We walked back to the Cullens, " I going to stay with Chris tonight.''

" I know,'' She said. We both this was until I could control my thirst, " I come visit whenever I can.''

I nodded as we continued to walk, " And I'll visit you.''

We got to the house and walked through the door, " Mom! Dad!'' Lexi yelled.

" Kitchen,'' Esme said beck to her. We walked in to the room and she smiled, " How'd it go.''

" She's good," Alexia said, " She can be around blood and not attack.''

esme smiled, " that's great. I'll have Alice give you a ride to the Line and Lexi can take you from there.'' she said handing her daughter a sandwich.

I nodded at her with a smile, " thank you. For everything.''

" It was no problem,'' Carlisle said coming to stand next to Esme, " You're a friend of our daughter, we were happy to help.''

Lexi hugged me, " We should get going before Chris starts blowing up my phone.''

I nodded and we walked to the garage, " Alice! Let's go!''

We all got in the car and she drove us to the Line. We got out and raced to Chris' house. we came to a halt and I laughed.

" Ha, I won,'' I said clapping. She pushed my shoulder and we walked up the steps, " Chris,'' I said knocking on the door. The door opened revealing a frazzled brunette.

" Lia?'' she said as fixed her hair, " wasn't expecting you this early.''

"Is that a problem?'' I asked scarcely.

She shook her head, " No. No. The boys just went out for patrol,'' she explained, " come in.''

I nodded and hugged Lexi, " Go see Jake. I'm sure he misses you,'' She laughed and walked away.

I looked inside before going in. I was scared to enter, afraid to have a permanent home. I walked over to Chris and gave her a small smile.

" I no it's going to be hard,'' she said, " The boys are grateful for you taking late night patrol,'' she explained to me and I nodded, " Sam and I were thinking. And that's if it's okay with you. We want to adopt you.''

I was taken aback by her last words, " what?''

" We want to your family,'' she said walking closer to me, " I know I could never replace your Mom. I don't intend to. I want to be there for you, and Sam and I talked about when I first met you.''

I began to cry, " I am... I just... why?''

'' I want to be there for your first date,'' she said, " I want to be there for your prom and graduation.''

I nodded at her but the tears wouldn't stop, " I would love that.''

She smiled and pulled me into a hug, " well than,'' she said to me, " welcome home.''
