3rd Person POV

Lakeside House

Blinking his eyes and stretching, Ryan woke up with a yawn. Feeling a small weight on his chest, he turned his head and saw Alice curled up next to him.

Smiling, Ryan absently stroked her hair. "Morning, Alice," he said softly.

She looked up at him, golden eyes gleaming. "How'd you know I was awake?"

"I'm a Prototype," Ryan replied. "It's part of the job description. Besides... vampires don't sleep."

Shaking her head, Alice leaned forward and pecked him on the lips before pulling back. "So. What's on the agenda today?" she asked as Ryan got up, shapeshifting into his normal clothing as he did so.

Before Ryan could reply, a call came in. Grabbing his phone from the desk, he answered it. "Hello?"

"Ryan." It was Carlisle.

"Carlisle? What is it?"

"It's Azara. She's saying that she senses something's about to happen with Jacob, and she thinks you two should be here."

"Gotcha."

"And by the way, I hope you and Alice did not get... into things last night."

Alice's face turned red, as did Ryan's.

"W-we didn't," Ryan assured. "Gotta go. Bye." He quickly shut the phone off, cutting off Carlisle's laughter.

Shaking his head, Ryan looked over at Alice, who had already gotten dressed. "Looks like we're heading back to your house."

Timeskip

Pulling up to the Cullens' house, Ryan and Alice got out of the car and walked inside, where they found Jacob leaning against a wall, eating a donut, Azara and Jasper sitting at the table along with Emmett and Carlisle.

"You two have a nice night?" Azara asked innocently.

"Shut it," Ryan muttered, taking a seat with Alice beside him.

"Need any damage control?"

"Azara, I will Whipfist you into next month if you don't shut up," Ryan threatened, which didn't really work due to how red he and Alice were.

Azara just grinned at them before turning as Bella and Edward walked in.

"Wow," Emmett commented. "Done already?"

"Where's Renesmee?" Bella asked, avoiding the question.

"Blondie stole her," Jacob replied, gesturing at where Rosalie was playing with the little child down below.

Bella smiled.

"Break a lot of stuff?" Emmett asked with a grin.

"Don't bother," Azara groaned. "I've already asked about damage control with these two." She gestured to Ryan and Alice, who both glared at her.

"Emmett," Bella said slowly. "No."

Edward chuckled.

Just then, a phone started ringing, and everyone looked at Ryan. He held up his hands. "Not me."
