"Meredith?"
The fear of being rejected by my father consumed me as I turned around. Fuck.
"D-Dad?" I inquired as his face filled with tears. He ran in and hugged me.
"I thought you died."
I generally would have had a witty remark. Something to lighten the mood because everyone hates when the mood gets stale. But not this. This was a moment with me and my dad and it made everything... the leaving, the fighting, the pain, it made it worth it. He looked at me with pride and happiness before he released me with a kiss on the forehead.
"Hi Hermione," he laughed as he let me go, wiping a stray tear from his cheek that had snuck from his lid. "Hi boys."
My dad has met the three on multiple occasions and actually game to the Tournament when we were fourteen when Harry competed.
"Hello Mister Swan." Hermione smiled widely at him. She was as happy as I was at how this was going.
"Call me Charlie, we've been over this," he laughed. "But are either of you boys dating my girl?"
Well, that's Charlie for you.
"N-no," Ron spoke. "Hermione and I..."
My dad smiled a little at them. "Congratulations kids."
"I'm dating Ron's sister," Harry spoke.
"He broke the bro code," I cut in and it cause everyone to make unattractive noises and laughing.
"Your mother thinks you're in Europe backpacking," Dad rolled his eyes as a small laugh fell from his lips.
"Well that's not wrong," I spoke. "Dad, thank you for teaching me how to start a fire when it's raining."
"You four all look too skinny," Dad spoke. "Pizza, on me."
"Actually," Hermione spoke. "Meredith and I prepared food for you."
"I can tell this is a family endeavor," Edward spoke. "I'll leave."
I could tell my dad didn't like Edward much. "I'll see you at school," he kissed Bella's forehead before nodding to Charlie and I. "I'm very happy for you, Mister Swan."
"Thank you, Edward."
With that, Edward was gone and it was Bella, myself, my friends and my father. "Meredith split off when we were traveling around," Harry spoke. "She learned many things. One of them was how to summon food."
"Summon?" Dad asked.
"She's very powerful," Ron spoke. "No one like her,"
"White truffle pasta," I spoke as I prepared the noodles easily, but I literally called for a white truffle mushroom. "It's a mushroom. It's amazing. Trust me. I'm the reason we didn't all die of starvation out in the middle of bloody nowhere."
"How long were you guys... you know..." Bella started.
"About a year, give or take."
We gave a story for them, of course. Leaving out the parts where Ron left, and Hermione and I got attacked by Bellatrix. We told them about Gringotts and the dragon and Snape. Dad and Bella knew we were leaving things out, but thank Merlin they didn't push. I couldn't have handled that.
-----
The food was done in about thirty minutes and we all sat around the kitchen whether on stools or counters and chatted.
There was a knock on the door, though. Bella opened it and revealed a person I only vaguely could recognize.
"Jake?"
"Mere?"
"Hey, Fatass," I joke and he takes me into a hug.
"Nice to see you too, Curls."
I released him and introduced him to my friends.
"How was backpacking?" He inquired.
"Good. Long, and insane, but good in the end," I smiled and everyone else did too, letting a mischievous smile of secrecy fall to our lips.
"I just wanted to invited Bella to the bonfire tonight. You guys are totally welcome," he told the four of us. "The guys still talk about you."
"Awesome," I spoke and looked at them who were nodding.
"We'll definitely be there," Harry spoke.
"Have a nice night guys. I'll tell everyone you're back."
A chorus of 'goodbyes' sounded and I couldn't have been happier at how our lives were falling into place. 

Guys! O my god this chapter made me so happy. It makes me smile when these reunions go well. Next chapter(s) I'm going to have the kids go to La Push but also go see the Cullen family.
We're gunna have a little contest.
So since everyone else has a boyfriend or a mate or whatever, and Meredith...
I'm gunna post a list right under this. Comment which wolf or vampire you prefer for Meredith and I can either write in an imprint or blood mate scene.
Peace out, stay safe and avoid UFOs✌🏻️
