Disclaimer I own no characters belonging to twilight, they are owned by Stephanie Meyer and are borrowed by me. I only own the unfamiliar characters.

I sat on the floor with Rose and Bella - we were on a semi-speaking terms - watch my litter (Nikita, Nicholas, Leandra, and Leonardo) lying on their stomachs gurgling at each other.

"Cute aren't they?" Rosalie says.

"Until they bite!" I mutter.

Bella laughs softly.

I heard the pitter-patter of Nessie's feet before I say her. She scampered in the house at full speed with Emmett behind her.

"No uncle Em!"  She screams.

At her voice my babies perked up, gurgling louder. More persistent. Nessie slows down when she saw them.

"There awake!" She squeals.

Her moment of distraction was her demise,  however. As quick as that Emmett had her scooped up into his arms. Nessie's laughter is like twinkling bells got even louder as Emmett tickled her sides.

"Ow!" Rosalie says.

I turned my head in her direction just in time to see Bella taking Nikita from Rosalie while Rose was flashing her finger.

The crack on her finger leaked venom. Edward, Emmett,  Jasper and Carlisle all appeared in the room. I took Nikita from Bella as she began to fuss.

"What's wrong?" Emmett asked as he hovered over Rose.

"She bit me! " Rose exclaims;  showing the others her healing finger.

"There teeth are strong enough to break a vampires skin." Carlisle voice was filled with wonder. "Unlike Renesmee they aren't just growing fast."

"Is that a bad thing?" I asked.

Carlisle frowns. "I don't know. Leah,  try to understand this could mean so many things. Remember they aren't venomous nor are they showing any of your wolf traits..."

My attention drifts over to my children. Two weeks ago they were nothing but newborns, now they looked like were growing six-month-old with tiny rice-grain like teeth.

Leandra pushes herself on her all fours and creeps over to me.  She grins when she reached my knee. The boys, Nicholas and Leandra,  were making their fascination with Nessie's brilliant, long, bronze hair.

At the front of the house, I heard when a car drove up. Probably Alice and Esme. They had left to re-stock the house in groceries. Esme entered first with the bags. Alice seconds later. She looked off. The faraway look she got whenever she saw into the future.

"Alice, what's wrong?" Jasper asks.

"I, I saw a lone vampire." Alice says. "She's coming here."

Emmett snorts. "We can take her."

"What does she want, Alice?" Edward asks.

"I don't know." Alice answered. "She hasn't planned that far ahead."

"When will she arrive?" Jasper asked.

Alice paused and closed her eyes. "In another seven minutes."

"How could you miss this,Alice?" Edward asked.

"Her decision was sudden." Alice says.

"Maybe she's heard of our coven's size and curious." Carlisle suggest to ease the building tension .
