I got a review asking when the changes I promised are coming.

Soon, my dear! Very soon... *excessive eyebrow shifting*

Mandi POV

"Is that any way to speak to your nieces?" Esme scolded Rosalie. Pssh, Way to let the cat out of the bag...

Esme looked really upset, Niece, Granddaughter, I would have to get used to hearing those titles.

I mean less than twelve hours ago I didn't know if I ever would meet the rest of my family.

And, now here I am, being stared at by five different vampires who look like they just saw a ghost.

Nieces? What the hell is Esme talking about? Vampires can't have babies! If we could I would have at least two or three and one on the way. -Rosalie

Carlisle spoke, "Esme What are you talking about? Vampires can't have children. You know that." He moved over to her side and placed his arm around her shoulders. "I know vampirescan't give birth, Carlisle," Esme explained."Though I've recently discovered that male vampires and Female humans can have children," She smiled warmly at Sammi and I before putting her hands over our shoulders. She turned back to Carlisle. "And here is your proof." she said referring to my sister and myself.

I turned back to everyone. They looked at Sam and I, shocked. Seriously? They're still lost?

Samantha POV

Why did they look confused? Mandi and I smiled and winked at them. Yeah... we're cool like that.

This should make complete sense. They are vampires; you'd think they could put two and two together...

Alice growled, "Why can't I see your parents?"

I smiled, Mom. Mandi nodded and smirked.

"If Mom doesn't want you to see her, then you won't see her." They all looked puzzled, aside from Esme and Carlisle. Mandi cut in, "Really are you all really this slow? She has a shield! It's her power." She said mostly looking at Rosalie. Those two are a cat fight waiting to happen.

"Mandi! Shut your trap! Remember the last time you got too angry!" I spoke up; I did not want to relive that again. It was before we were complete vampires. We were still quite young and hadn't received our full strength yet. One of our classmates started picking on me. She had always disliked Mandi and I. Then, when Mandi saw her, she tackled her to the ground and gave her a black eye and a broken nose. Ever since then Mandi hasn't gotten to that stage of anger…yet.

Mandi's eyes grew smug as she grinned. "That was fun."

"No that's why we were home-schooled until we moved here, smart one!" Her smile dropped. "Gawd Samantha; way to be the fun-police!" She pouted and folded her arms.

Emmett and Jasper snickered at us so I almost instantly cocked an eyebrow.

"Ha! Rose she's just like you! That's all the proof I need!" I heard Emmett laugh; followed bya 'Thwack'. "Ouch Rose! Will you please stop smacking me!"

She turned to Emmett "What are you talking about Emmett? I didn't smack you." I looked to Mandi to see her smirking. I raised an eyebrow and hissed at her. "Mandi!" What did I say!

She rolled her eyes, Whatever! – she thought back to me

Emmett's booming laughter interrupted us. "Oh My Goodness Rosie! She is like your clone!" That earned him a smack from both Rosalie and Mandi. "Emmett, I'd stop talking if I were you." I said to him. He nodded in agreement.

Carlisle chuckled and said, "Why don't we all move down to the living room," as he ushering Esme out of the room, without waiting for an answer.

We all walked into the huge room. Carlisle and Esme took their place on the couch, no space between them. Rosalie sat in an armchair crookedly, so that she was resting her hand at the nape of Emmett's neck, who was sitting at her feet. Alice and Jasper took one of the love-seats. And Mandi on the other arm chair, leaving the matching dark leather recliner to me. Nice. I plopped down and we began our conversation of epic proportions... ok... maybe I'm being a little dramatic...

Mandi began answering questions while I sat there. She was doing fine without me. I started looking around the room and stopped sharp when I saw a baby grand piano. I've always wanted one but we never had a lot of money. I mean sure we weren't poor, but we only bought things we needed.

"Sammi ...Sam...Samantha!" I was brought back to the conversation when I heard Mandi calling me. I turned to see only Alice and Mandi, "Um... sorry what?"

"Alice asked us if we wanted to go shopping, since Carlisle had an emergency at the hospital and had to postpone the conversation, are you coming?" I shook my head. I guess I was really out of it to not have noticed everyone aside from Esme, Alice and Mandi leave. "No, I uh... don't really feel like shopping at the moment..." Mandi gasped, "Samantha, You don't want to shop? It's a sign of the apocalypse!" Mandi could be way overly-dramatic sometimes. I chuckled. I loved shopping, but I really wanted to see that piano. Alice's face went blank for a moment then she looked at me knowingly. "Come on Mandi. Let's get Jasper to come so he can carry our bags." She and Mandi headed out to the garage to hop in her car; though before she closed the door Alice poked her head back in and said, "You should get Esme to join you." She winked and left.

I sighed and walked to the piano, I didn't want to bother Esme. I sat on the bench, thinking about the song my mom said my father would play. I began to play softly. My fingers gliding over the ivory; I vaguely saw Esme move to the side of the piano. I looked up at her and she was watching me with a sad smile. She tried to hide the pain but I could still see it in her eyes.

"What's the matter?" I asked, had I done something wrong?

She shook her head and smiled. "Nothing, dear, the song you were playing was my favorite song." She looked like she was trying to find the right words to say, "Where did you hear that song, Sunshine?" I was surprised by the nickname, but I loved it. I loved my grandmother already, she took Mandi and I in without a second thought. No questions asked.

"My mother used to sing it to Mandi and I when we were younger. She said that it reminded her of someone she missed dearly. She told me that they took better care of her than her own parents did." I looked up at Esme who still had a sad smile upon her face. The more I thought about it, the song reminded me of her. "I think it reminded her of you, Nana.". Esme's eyes lit up when I called her that. She pulled me into a hug and I hugged her back. She placed her head on top of mine. "You remind me so much of your father, Samantha." She took my hand and took me out to her garden. We sat at the edge as we sat admiring the flowers.

I jumped when I heard a musical voice suddenly speak. I looked up at the vampire. He was tall and lanky, but muscular. He was a vegetarian, judging by his eyes. He looked very familiar, but I don't remember ever meeting him. His hair was like mine only lighter and messier, but it suited him.

Esme froze when she heard him approach, her head shot up and she looked as if she could cry. I looked over at the drive way and saw Mandi, Alice and Jasper, screech to a halt with Carlisle trailing behind them. Rosalie and Emmett decided to join the party as well.

Carlisle joined Esme and Mandi almost instantly moved beside me.

The vampire looked towards Mandi and I and became frustrated. But, before he could comment on anything Carlisle took lead and spoke.

"Edward, We've missed you son."

As soon as the words left Carlisle's mouth, I felt like I was having a panic attack. The sky became dark and, once again, Esme's garden disappeared then bloomed over and over again.

I felt Jasper try and calm me down though It didn't work. I hadn't moved an inch and neither had Mandi. We had linked arms trying to hide our unease. I vaguely remembering him ask Carlisle what was happening, but I didn't hear Carlisle's response.

I thought of my mother. Where was she, why couldn't she be here with us right now. She should be. Either that or else Mandi and I shouldn't be here. That thought was immediately pushed aside when Mandi squeezed my arm.

I pulled out my iPod and started running into the forest. I'll Be There For You by Bon Jovi came on.

I thought, Wow, score one for irony.

Then all at once everything stopped. Nothing was happening. The sky was grey and there was hardly any color around us. Everything became neutral.

Why?

Because I didn't know how I felt about the return Edward Cullen.

DUN. DUN. DUN.

Review my pretties!
