A/N: All right, y'all, this is the last chapter before the goodbye scene. There's some comic relief though, so hopefully you won't kill me! I hate making Jake so sad, but it's necessary. Hey - they might never see each other again; they're not going to play twister and hug goodbye in the morning. So, yeah. I hope you like it.

Voting for the Sort of Beautiful Contest closes today - I'm not sure if it closes at midnight officially or if tomorrow/today is just the last day. Hmm . . . well, if you haven't voted yet and you want to, make sure you drop by just to check. I think they might stay open an extra day since they started late. The link can be found in several of the previous chapters, but I'll give it to you again anyway:

So, yep. Also, I'd really like it if anyone who knows their way around Native American culture and in pretty knowledgeable and willing to help me solve a little problem/question, could PM me please. It's for something I'm writing and I want to be as authentic as possible.

Disclaimer: Would you believe that me, a seventeen year old girl posting on FF.n, doesn't own Twilight? Crazy, right?

It was nice hunting with Jacob. I hadn't yet since . . . everything. The first everything, I mean. The running away from my Grandfather's wedding with my best friend because crazy vampires were chasing us and subsequently finding out said best friend returned the love I'd been harboring for him everything. Not the coming home to my vampire family after three months of running to find that there was going to be a war and forcing said best friend to marry me and spending every night thereafter christening every part of the house everything.

Although, I have to admit the best part of the trip was seeing Jacob phase again, and the glimpses of his naked body in between. I stumbled back into the house feeling all sloshy with elk and Jacob right behind me, groaning about getting some real food.

"I thought men liked meat?" I teased, but he just mumbled something about liking cooked meat.

Jacob ate and then everyone coincidentally appeared around the same five minutes. A lot of coincidences happened when you lived in a house full of vampires who could see, hear, and smell better than you. And could also read your mind, your emotions and occasionally see your future.

An awful lot of coincidences indeed, once you come to think about it.

I kissed and hugged everyone and tried not to think about how this was our last day, because then I would cry. We did something very normal for our family and watched movies, which I realized only once we started doing it that it was something we'd never done before. We'd never just sat down, all of us together, and watched a movie.

And Alice, well, I still wasn't very sure she really couldn't see Jacob and me because the movies she'd prepared for our little marathon? The Pirates of the Caribbean series.

We actually got through the whole thing this time, and it was hilarious. I don't know why we'd never done this before – watching a movie with my family was great! Between Aunt Rose, Jacob and Uncle Emmett, everyone was cracking up.

Uncle Jasper stayed mostly silent, playing with Aunt Alice's hair, who chirped her input in occasionally but was uncharacteristically quiet. Grandpa Carlisle kept wanting to pause the movie to inform us about actual style, speech, and mannerisms during that time period. Grandma Esme kept leaving and coming back with sweets for me and Jacob, most of which Jacob ate since I was still kind of full on elk.
