"Where are you going, little missy?" I asked Nessie. She came running towards me and hugged me. Picking her up and swung her, she laughed and I smiled at her. Even in difficult times like this she still could smile. 

"I'm going to Grandpa Charlie's house with mommy and Jake," she said as I place her down.

"Oh, really and will Sue be there?" I asked smiling and she giggles.

"I think so. Want to know a secret grandma?" she says. I nod and before she told me this secret she looks around and signals me closer to her.

"I think Grandpa Charlie likes Sue" she whispers in my ear. She pulls away and I do my best-shocked face. 

"What do you mean he likes her?" I asked 'shocked'.

"Yeah, Sue is always around Grandpa Charlie and she's always at his house whenever we're there," Nessie said smiling.

"Oh really?" I smiling at her cuteness.

"But don't tell mommy okay. I just think he does. I don't really know" she said quickly. 

"Of course your secret is safe with me," I said smiling. Bella, Jake, Edward, and Carlisle all come out of the house. Nessie looks at them and then at me.

"Don't tell them, grandma!" she said as the others approached.

"Don't tell us what?" Edward asked looking at his daughter. Nessie looks at me slightly scared and ran after me. She pops her head out by my side. 

"It's our little secret, can't tell," I said winking down at Nessie. 

"Oh really?" Edward said smiling and both Nessie and I nod. Carlisle squats down and looks at Nessie who was still behind me.

"Can Grandpa know?" Carlisle asked with his best puppy eyes.

"Sorry Grandpa, only Grandma can know," she said sadly. Carlisle sighs and looks down sad and Nessie looks like she's about to crack.

"Are you guys going to Charlie's house?" I changed the subject before Nessie tells Carlisle. I mean honestly, it wasn't a big of a secret I do believe that Charlie and Sue should go out. I think that they're going out but haven't told anyone yet. 

"Yeah, we are. Wanna come?" Jake asked me.

"Sorry but no, I'm going to train with Garrett today," I said.

"Again?" Jake asked.

"Yeah, gotta practice as much as possible," I said. 

"Alright be careful," he said and I nod. I turn to Nessie.

"Give Grandpa and Grandma a goodbye kiss and hug before you leave," I said stretching out my arms out to her. 

She comes and gives us both a kiss on the cheek and hugs before leaving with Jake to the car. I turn to Bella who hasn't said a word this entire time. I notice something was off with Bella this morning. She was staring at me this whole time. It seems like she wanna say something to me but wasn't sure it was the right thing too.

"Let me walk you to your car," I said looking at Bella.

Edward and Carlisle looked confused because normally she would go by herself. However, Bella knew that I knew something was off with her so she nods. We both walk to her car in silence. She opened her car door but before she went in I stopped her. 

"You know you can tell me anything," I said to her holding the door so she wouldn't go in. She stares at the door for a while and then sighs. She looks at me but doesn't say anything but bites her lips. 

"I know it just..." she doesn't finish but looks down. 

"Alice" I whispered and she looks at me with eyes wide.

"Look, for some reason I know, it's something you can't tell me. Just know that if you ever need anyone to talk to I'm here for you. Your my sis" I said smiling at her before kissing her forehead and walked away. Taking some steps ahead she called my name and I turn around. Bella was smiling. 

"Love you too, sis," she said before going into her car and drove away. I watched her car leave our driveway and felt someone come next to me. Without having to see who it was, I knew it was Edward. 

"She'll be alright," Edward said and I sigh. 

"I know but this is Bella we're talking about," I said and I heard him chuckle.

"Oh yeah, I guess we should be a little worried," he said and I turn to him smiling. 

"Idiot," I said laughing and he wraps one of his arms around my shoulders. 

"But I'm your idiot, remember," he said smiling at and I laughed. 

"How can I forget?" I asked and we both laughed. 

"So what is this about Charlie liking Sue?" Edward asked raising his eyebrow. I stared at him, unwrapping his arm from my shoulders I shook my head.

"I don't know what you're talking about?" I said walking away from him. I heard him laugh from behind me. 

"So you notice it too?" he asked and I turn around.

"Oh, honey I knew before it even started"I winked at him and walked into the house.

"But how?" I heard him asked. 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Common you got to do better than that, grandpa" i teased Garrett before blocking his hits. 

"Your the grandpa," he said swing at me once again. I ducked down avoiding his hit. Once he swung the second time I grabbed his right arm and kicked his stomach sending him flying backward.

"Nope I'm the grandmother," I said smiling at him. 

He glares at me and starts to run towards my way. Halfway he jumps up and lands behind me. But before he could move I turned around and grabbed his throat, squeezing it a little tight and dropping him to his knees.

"You're out grandpa," I said smiling.  We both stared at each other after a few minutes he rolls his eyes and moves my hands.

"Whatever you're still the grandma," he said getting up.

"I may be a grandma but at least I ain't old," I said. 

"Your mate is older than me and you," he said pointing at Carlisle, who was standing next to Kate, Edward, Eleazar, Alistair, and Benjamin. 

Honestly, I'm surprised that Alistair has decided to come out of his cave and joined us. I'm honestly believing he just enjoyed watching me get hurt, that bastard. Carlisle rolls his eyes and the others laughed beside Alistair. 

"Your just mad you lost in front of Kate," I said pushing his shoulder. I laughed as he glares at me.

"Am not!" he says glaring at me.

"Am too!" I said smiling.

"Am not!" he said crossing his arms.

"Am too!" I said mimicking his stance.

"Am not!" he said sticking his tongue out.

"Jeez, act your age will ya,"I said laughing at him. He puts his tongue back in before walking away from me. I laughed and went to jump on his back.

"Oh you know I still love ya," I said laughing and he tries to throw me off. He moves his shoulders around trying to knock me down. After a while, I landed on my feet and he frowns.

"You know you're a cheat," he said.

"Why?" I asked smiling.

"Can't always rely on your gift!" he said.

"True but I can't practice without them right now. After this whole shenanigan with the Volturi, you'll help me but until then I'll rely on my gift" I said patting his shoulder. He rolls his eyes but nods. We head over to the others. I went next to Carlisle and hugged him. 

"You did good, love," he said kissing my forehead.

"Hear that Garrett I did good," I said smiling. Garrett rolls his eyes and the others laughed and like before Alistair didn't.

"You're current there won't be a fight?" Alistair said staring at me. 

"Current, no. Hopeful more like it." I said staring at him. He doesn't say anything but turned around and leaves. As he leaves I turn to Carlisle and smiled.

"I think he actually likes me," I said smiling.

"Of course, who wouldn't like you," Carlisle said smiling. I smiled and lend up to kiss Carlisle. After some few seconds, I heard some 'ewws'. I pulled away from Carlisle and glared at the others.

"Ehh, puppy love" Garrett smirk.

"You're just jealous," I said to Garrett. He opens his mouth but closes it. He glares at me and walks into the house. We laughed at him.

"You shouldn't tease him," Kate said smiling. I turned to her and smiled.

"Only when he finally says it,"I said to her and she smiles.

"God only knows when," she said shaking her head smiling.

"Hopefully soon so I could tease him some more," I said and the others laughed. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three hours later, Bella and Nessie came back from Charlies house. 

"Hey, little one" I greeted Nessie as she hugs me.

"We're back, Grandma" Nessie smiled at me. 

I kissed her cheek before she went to look for her father. I turn to Bella who wasn't smiling. I gave her a questionable look and she looks down. I saw her putting a big envelope inside her bag. She looks up at me with tears in her eyes and I went to hug her. 

"It'd be alright. Anything can change" I said to her trying to confront her. She hugs me and sighs.

"I know but we still need to be careful," she said. We stayed like this for some while. I pulled away and stared at her.

"So what she leaves alone?" I asked and she shakes her head.

"Jake," she said and I sigh.

"Write to her and let her know why. Tell her we all love her and only want whats best for her. Also, make a letter to Jake and tell him he better take good care of her." I said and she nods. 

We both go inside the house, however, Bella went to the library and I went to look for Carlisle. I found him with Tanya and Rose. I went to sit on his lap like I always do. Carlisle wraps his arms around my waist and brings me closer to him. I closed my eyes and laid my head on his chest, I felt him kiss the top of my head and I smiled. With everything that is happening, I cannot picture my life without this man. I couldn't possibly imagine my life if he wasn't in it. All the pain I went through, all the suffering, all the crying it was worth it because, in the end, I'm with the love of my life. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today is Christmas and Bella, Edward, Nessie, and Jake will be celebrating at Charlie house. I, on the other hand, will be celebrating my first Christmas with my love and our family. This year we didn't end up decorating the house but next year we will if we make it out alive. I was staring out the window while the others were in the living room chatting. 

"The snow is sticking," I said as Carlisle approached me.

"We still have today, my love," Carlisle said as he hugs me from behind. 

"Our first Christmas together and it's already a disaster," I said frowning. I lend back and placed my head on his chest and he pulls me closer. 

"But we're together," he said kissing the top of my head.

"Sure, Alice and Jasper are gods know where probably risking their lives for us. We're in the middle of a war and probably will die before the end of my first year as a vampire" I said sighing. Carlisle turns me around and stares at me. 

"Hey, no one is giving up," he said frowning. 

"I know but it seems like fate is against us. Over and over again there is something preventing us from being happy" I said looking down. 

"And yet again, we keep on overcoming it. We always fight it head on" he said picking up my face from my chin. 

"What if we can't fight it this time? What if this time we lose? So many lives are at stake because of us."  I say. Carlisle didn't say anything just stared at me. 

"Like we said before, Amelia. We'll stand with you, till the end" Tanya said. I turned around and stared at the others. They were standing up and staring at us with a smile. 

"But what it ends badly? It'll be our fault that you'll all lose your lives" I said.

"We all have something we're fighting for not just your family. Just like Edward said, we're fighting for the way we want to live. No more hiding, no more bowing down to those who believe their gods, no more being afraid, it's time we do something about it. And you're our reason to why we are able to do it" Benjamin said. 

"And besides we cannot step aside and let an innocent coven die for false accusations," Peter said for the first time since he been here. 

"I looked around this room filled with people who are risking so much for my family. I cannot say how thankful I truly am. I cannot describe how blessed I am and how honor I am to be in this room with you all. I am sorry that we all under some sort of death penalty but I am not sorry for meeting you all. If this ends badly just know that I am truly and utterly sorry. So please forgive my selfishness of asking this once again. But will you all stand and fight with us?" I asked them. 

"Till the end, mother," Emmett said stepping front.

"Forever, mom," Rose said smiling.

"Side by side, my friend" Garrett said smiling and stepping forward. 

"You've been a friend and mother to me," Tia said

"You're family we'll stand and fight," Benjamin said continuing his mate sentence. 

"You dragged us all across the world and there's no way none of us want to miss this fight" Liam smirked and I smiled. 

"You got that right," Peter said smiling and the others laugh.

"And besides there's wont be a fight," Alistair said making us all look at him.

"Didn't you said there won't be a fight? You're never wrong in these sorts of predictions. We're all going to show the Volturi that you're innocent and we'll come back to this house alive" Alistair said and we all stared at him shocked. 

"S-so that means you're going to stay?" I asked him smiling. 

"I wanna see how good your gift really is" he shrugged. I ran towards him and hugged him. He stiffed the whole time not knowing what to do. I pulled away from him and smiled at him. 

"Thank you," I said and he smiles slightly.

"Whatever just don't hug me again, weirdo," he said and I laughed. I walked over to Carlisle and turn to everyone. 

"Merry Christmas, everyone," I said.

"Merry Christmas, mother/ Amelia," they said all together. I turn to Carlisle and smiled.

"Merry Christmas my love," I said before kissing him.
