The day the New Girls Lived

Ch. 1

Beginning

Kim POV

We stood in front of Carlisle's desk with gaping mouths. He had just said that over night we had changed into humans. Everything was so different. I couldn't see as well or hear what was going on down stairs. Everything was almost quiet.

"How could this happen?" I asked the question everyone wanted to know but was not brave enough to ask.

"Well, it seems to me you imprinted on…" Carlisle started but Shasha cut him off.

"We didn't imprint on anyone. We were just hanging out with them on the beach. In the rain. And Paul's eyes, those beautiful dark chocolate eyes. Oh my God we did imprint on them!" An epiphany washed over Shasha.

"How long ago did this happen exactly?" Carlisle inquired.

"About three days." Krissy answered counting on her fingers. "The exact amount of time it took to change us to vampires!" Carlisle was taking notes on everything.

"But what are the side effects? Can we have kids? The same normal long life? Disease's, illnesses, everything, what about that?" Mel was pacing the room now. I didn't see why she was worried. We were human! A life I have always wanted and now had.

"Chill Mel. Everything will be alright." Kim tried to sooth.

"How do you know that?" She looked up at me her eyes big.

"Well, I don't, but I can feel it. In my bones and in my beating heart." I answered back.

"I just don't know. I don't believe you. We should go. Shasha's stomach won't shut up! I believe I still know how to cook." She said. I knew it was because she was feeling uncomfortable here knowing Emmett was down stairs on the couch with his angel.

We walked past the couch and she stared at the ground trying to avoid falling. The phone rang as we walked in the door. Eryn answered the phone.

"Oh, hey Embry….. How did you get this number? …. I forgot, sure we would love to come over! O.K. see you then! Bye," She put the phone back in the cradle and turned to us. "That was Embry!" Her smile was like a capitol U.

"Yes, yes, we got that. What else did he say?" Shasha urged. "Anything about food?"

"Your still the same human you always were. He wanted to invite us over for a picnic! They want us to meet everyone. Emily, you know, Sam's girl, wants to know if any of you would like to help cook. That's a lot of food for everyone."

"Of course." Mel said. We changed into clean clothes and suntan lotion for Mel, and headed out. "It's good to be in the sun and not have to worry about any one discovering anything."

Everyone nodded their head in agreement. We headed out to where Embry had sent us. We pulled into Uley drive way and saw Emily waving from the window. We walked in and headed straight for the kitchen where Shasha grabbed some food from the fridge will me and everyone else helped Emily make more sandwiches and introduced our selves.

"You have no idea how glad we are that you guys came!" Emily said smiling. Her baby, Graham Jack, was in his high chair playing with cheerios. Mel played peek-a-boo with him. I could see in her eyes how much she wanted her own kid. "The guys wouldn't shut up about you even though they haven't known you for that long. You are as pretty as they say."

"Where are we going to have this picnic?" I asked.

"At the beach. It is so sunny and I want to get out of the house. This baby here won't even let me go to the bathroom without him. And the guys want to surf. So, how long have you lived here?" She inquired.

We all exchanged weird glances behind her back. Krissy made something up on the spot. "We have lived here for a while. More in the Forks area then here in the reservation. We have a house in the woods there." We all let out a sigh of relief. Right after Krissy came we changed one of the unused rooms into a bedroom for her. It was already decorated with her things.

"That must be nice. Secluded from the rest of the world and noises." Her smile never left her face. Just then Sam came in and kissed Emily on her scar.

"We are ready to go if you are." He said. "It's not that far, if you don't mind walking. Everyone else is already there."

"That's fine." Shasha said.

Mel helped Emily pack up things for Graham. She volunteered to push the stroller for her while she carried the picnic basket. The sun was nice on our faces. It was a perfect day for the beach. They guys were already there. Jacob and Quil were moving the picnic tables more onto the beach then on the grass of the park.

"Hey, guys!" He yelled waving, which then in turn made him drop the part he was carrying on Quil.

"Jake!" Quil yelled lunging for him. They started to wrestle on the ground and Graham started crying loudly.

"You guys! Cut it out, you know Graham would prefer all of you human when he is around." Sam yelled.

Emily's face held a panic look. She didn't know that we already knew.

"It's okay, Emily." I assured. "We knew long before." I helped her put the blanket over the tables and set everything out.

"Food's out!" She yelled as the other girls showed up, we were introduced. We were going to have a hard time with both of the Kim's. The guys were looking at the water and taking down their surf boards, or in Quil's case, boogey board. He couldn't surf just yet. They hit the table hard when they heard Emily yelling.

Seth came and sat by me with a huge smile on his face. He handed me a sandwich and a soda. All the other guys followed suit. No one talked; the guys just ate their food as fast as they could, while the girls ate slowly and looked at the handsome men next to them.

"Can you surf?" Seth asked me. All of them started laughing like maniacs. "What?" He asked.

"Kim isn't the most daring person in the world. She prefers to stay on dry land." Shasha giggled.

"No, I am not. But I am willing to try something completely new. Hey, why doesn't everyone try! That way I am not the only one to fall face first!" I retorted.

"I am so up to it!" Mel and Shasha said at the same time. Krissy was more apprehensive but she was willing to try.

"I don't know." Eryn looked scared.

"Don't worry, Eryn." Embry said putting his arm around her shoulders. "You can do it and I will help you."

She looked up in to his eyes. She looked like she was going to melt. "O.k. as long as no one laughs when I crash."

"As long as you don't laugh at me, I won't laugh at you." Shasha promised. I knew she and Mel would be the first ones laughing. And the first ones to fall, but Eryn didn't notice.

"Go put on some wet suits and let's get you out there!" Paul said standing up and getting wet suits from the truck. There was one for each of us. I had a feeling that they had this planned long before.

"It's sort of an initiation." Kim said with Jared's arm around her waist. I was putting on a wet suit over my bikini. Seth said my yellow bikini looked good on me and helped zip me up. Since there were two Kim's now they were calling me Kimmy. I didn't mind. I was a nickname I had had for a long time. Everyone else was putting their wet suits on too. They all looked much better in their bikinis then I thought I did. But I was getting a boost of confidence from Seth. But isn't that what he was suppose to say? Since he had imprinted on me? I didn't know and I didn't care.

"Mel, what is that on your back?" Jake asked as he zipped her up. There was a vertical scar from her left shoulder down to her right hip.

"I was in a shark attack a while ago. Thankfully the doctors were able to save me." We all knew what she meant by 'doctor'. She stared down at the ground before her not looking up. I could sense the pain she was feeling. "Anyway, let's get out there. There aren't any sharks out there, right?" Everyone laughed. She and Shasha were always able to lighten the mood.

The guys screamed like girls as we stepped into the water. It was cold but not worth screaming over. Seth held out his surf board for me to hop on.

"Tie this leash onto your ankle, then hop on like this." He demoed for me how to get on then how to stand. "Your turn." He helped me get my balance as I stood. Me and Krissy were doing the best so far. The other ones had bad balance and kept laughing. Seth gave me a light shove and watched as I stayed up and left his side. "Now time for a big wave. Paddle out there. One will be here soon."

I did as he said and was surprised when I made it back to the beach and hadn't fallen. Me and Krissy started racing while Mel, Shasha, and Eryn just splashed in the water with Claire. After a while we headed in and just sat on the beach. Shasha and Paul left early. I didn't know where they went and didn't care because I was concentrating on Seth lying next to me on a blanket just soaking up the sun.

"We have to go. Sorry guys." Mel said. She was right, we had work tomorrow and we needed to get in the habit of getting a good night of sleep again. They kissed our cheek and watched us leave.

"That was fun!" I said as we drove away. I was waving out the window at them. That was all that was said that entire way home.

We crashed on the couches with dinner that Mel had made and waited for Shasha.

"Where have you been?" Mel interrogated when Shasha walked in the door.

"Hanging out with Paul." She answered back. "Why did I miss curfew, Mom?" We always joked that Mel was our mom just because of the way she acted like keeping everything you could possibly need in her purse from Kleenex's to meds. That was just the way she was and we didn't care.

"No, what were you doing anyway? You have only known him for two days!" She hassled.

"Nothing you need to know about." Her smile was big as she walked up the stairs to her room. We all followed her and were asleep in minutes. We had finally found our true loves.
