When Bella, Ambrus, and Alexis were ready, they got into Lexie's car and drove out to the Cullen house. The private road that led up to the Cullen house was beautifully decorated with fairy lights on every tree. Upon arriving at the Cullen home, it was brightly lit and cheerful. Ambrus parks and they get out of the car. Emmett comes bounding out of the house and encircles his mate in a hug and kissed her lips. He wraps his arm around Lexie's waist and then shakes Ambrus' hand. “Good to see you again, Ambrus, welcome to our home.”
“Good to see you as well, Emmett, and thank you.”
Emmett lets go of Alexis then hugs Bella, “Congratulations, Bella, I'm proud of you.”
“Thanks, Em.”
“Well, let's go inside. You guys are early; the other guests should be arriving shortly.”
Everyone goes inside and is greeted by the Cullens and Samantha. Alice comes downstairs after checking on some last-minute details and greeted the Lycans and Bella, “Hi, Alice, wow, this place looks great!” Alexis said.
“Thank you, Lexie! I hope everyone else likes it as well.”
“Of course they will, Alice, you outdid yourself,” Alexis told her friend.
A little while later, the DJ showed up and set up, and twenty minutes later, the guest started to arrive. At first, the kids are a little hesitant, but with the music playing and the smell of food in the air, everyone starts to relax and enjoy themselves. Bella was walking around, greeting people, and talking to her friends and avoiding Edward like the plague. At one point, one of the jocks asked her to dance, and Bella happily accepts.
When the song ends, Bella started walking towards Alexis and Emmett who are sitting on the loveseat talking, but Angela and Jessica intercept her, Bella hugs both girls.
“Hey. What'd you think of my speech? Too easy-breezy, too self-helpful? You may admit it.”
“No, you pretty much nailed it,” Bella said.
“It wasn't as good as mine, but, hey,” Alexis said with a laugh as she and Emmett walk toward the trio.
Jessica scowls at Alexis and is about to say something when Angela grabbed her arm, “I love this song,” And pulled Jessica onto the dancefloor.
“You're so mean, Lexie,” Bella said.
“I know,” Lexie said with a laugh, Emmett hugged her and kissed her cheek.
At that moment, Bella spots Jacob, Quil, and Embry come into the house. She smiled at her best friend and went to say hello. While she went to do that, Alexis and Emmett went to go dance. Later Samantha and Rosalie joined them on the dancefloor. They danced for a while until Alexis saw Alice coming downstairs and pause on the stairs.
“Honey Bear, look,” Alexis said and motioned with her head.
Emmett turned around and saw that Alice's eyes had glazed over. He and Alexis made their way over to Alice when Jasper arrived, “Alice, what is it? What did you see?”
“The decision has been made,” Alice said, “The newborn army is coming here.”
“We need to talk to Ambrus,” Alexis said.
“I heard, Pup, we're going have to coordinate to fight off these newborns,” Ambrus said, looking at Jasper, who nodded.
“Pup, you need to call your pack.”
“Right.”
Alexis and Emmett went to his room so that she could call Talia and her mom. Meanwhile, Ambrus, Jasper, and Alice went to tell Carlisle what was going on. Jacob, Quil, and Embry followed them. The Cullens, Ambrus, and the wolves went outside to talk in private.
