I sat beside Bella in the gym. I reach over and gently grip her hand. We were graduating today. Jessica stood at the podium giving her speech.
"When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up." She started. "Our answers were things like astronaut, president or in my case, princess. When we were ten, they asked again and we answered, rock-star, cowboy, or in my case a gold medalist. But now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer. Well how about this, who the hell knows?!"
I laughed slightly smiling towards Jasper who sat with Lilith. He turned to look at me sending me a smile.
"This isn't the time to make fast and hard decisions, its time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train, and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love - a lot." Jess continued. "Major in Philosophy because there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again, because nothings permanent."
Bella and I share a knowing look before looking towards our respected fathers.
"So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday when they ask again what we want to be we won't have to guess. We'll know." Jess finished.

"Swan, Annabella." The principle called.
I took a breath before walking across the stage accepting my diploma and shook the principles hand. I laughed hearing my daughter squeal before dad and Paul clapped loudly whooping. I exit the stage making it back to my seat.
"Swan, Isabella."
Bella walked across stage shaking the principles hand and accepting her diploma. I cheered clapping along with dad and Paul. She soon joined me in my seat.
A few more students and graduation was over. Bella was talking to her friends I went to dad gently taking my baby. She cooed at me as I kissed her chubby cheek.
"Hi, baby girl." I smiled. "Let's go see Auntie Bella."
I gave dad a hug before walking to Bella and her friends. Bella cooed once she saw Sara. Angela gasped at her playing with her little feet.
"Want to hold her Angie?" I asked.
"Please?" She asked.
I gingerly lay Sara in her arms. Angela grinned down at her. Jess scoffed.
"That's the ugliest baby I've ever seen." She muttered.
"Say that to my face Jessica." I hissed.
Jess walked out from behind Angela and I punched her right in the nose knocking her to the floor. Jasper was over in a few seconds. Angela gave Sara to him as dad and Paul were pulling me away. Once we were far enough away dad was in front of me with his hands on his hips.
"Why'd you punch her?" Dad asked with a raised brow.
"She called my daughter." I snipped gingerly taking Sara from Jasper. "I'll meet you in the car."
I turn on my heel walking out of the gym. I head to Edward's Volvo since we were riding with him. I start buckling Sara in her car seat when I felt a hand on my lower back. I turn to see Jasper standing there with a frown. Once Sara was fully buckled I turned to Jasper. He gently pulled me in a hug. I squeezed tightly smiling as he sent me calming vibes.

I was walking around the party with Bella. Sara was sleeping upstairs and Esme was keeping an eye on her. I noticed Jake walking in with Quil and Embry. Soon followed was Paul. Jake, Embry and Quil looked severely uncomfortable. Paul was at ease.
"Bells." I whispered. "The pigs here."
Bella followed my gaze and groaned. I smiled at Paul nodding to the stairs. He seemed to get the gesture and followed me upstairs. I go to Jasper's room where Esme was sitting in the rocking chair quietly singing to Sara. She looked up and smiled at us.
"She just woke up." Esme smiled. "Would you like to hold her Paul?"
He looked at me and I laughed shrugging. He walked over gently taking Sara from Esme before he walked over. I smiled down at Sara as she giggled. We look up seeing Jasper walk in.
"Alice had a vision," He says smiling at Paul. "We called a family meeting plus wolves."
Paul handed me Sara as we headed out of the room to the upstairs lounge. I walked over to Rose since she had that look in her eyes and gingerly handed her Sara. She cooed down at her kissing her chubby cheek. I turned to Jake and gave him an icy glare. But of course Bella forgave him. He gulped slightly before eyeing Rose holding my daughter. I side step so I was blocking Rose from view while glaring at Jake.
"How long?" Edward asked looking to Alice.
"They'll be here in four days." She replied.
'Is the newborns coming here?' I thought to Edward who slightly nodded.
"This could turn into a blood bath." Carlisle sighed.
"Who's behind it?" Edward asked.
"I didn't see anyone I recognize, well maybe one." Alice says.
"I know his face, Riley Biers." Edward says. "He's a local."
My eyes widen at the name. The guy dad's been looking for.
"He didn't start this." Edward says looking at both of Bella and I.
"Whoever did is staying out of the action." Alice says.
"They must be using your blind spots." Carlisle said.
I quickly turn to Rose as Sara started to fuss. I gingerly took her from the blonde with a small smile.
"You guys continue this." I say. "Jazz fill me in later."
He nodded pressing a kiss to my lips before pecking Sara's forehead. I carried Sara back to Jasper's room while checking her diaper. She hadn't soiled herself so I glance at the clock. That's it she's hungry. I walk downstairs to the kitchen ignoring the partying graduates. Jessica was by the kitchen with Angela. Her nose was severley bruise. I smirked brushing past them into the kitchen. I quickly went to work making a bottle with one hand.
"Do you need help?" Angela asked her voice soft.
"Can you hold her for a few seconds." I asked causing her to nod.
"Yeah." Angela smiled. "Of course."
I gingerly handed over Sara. I continue making her a bottle.
"Excuse me." A male voice says.
I turn around to see a boy that looks a lot like Rose. He had chin length blonde hair.
"Oh, hello." I smiled.
"I'm looking for my sister..." He trailed off looking at Angela.
I cleared my throat causing him to look back.
"I'm sorry, I'm Royal." The man says. "Royal Hale, Rosalie Hale's baby brother."
"Does she know?" I gesture to him while gingerly taking Sara popping the nipple in her mouth.
"Uhm no." He shook his head side eyeing Angela. "We haven't seen each other since that one night."
