Rayne and Alice are hanging out in Port Angeles, this is where Rayne's private jet is being held. These two haven't hung out in what seems like ages, so they decided to get out for a while.
Alice suddenly goes into a vision and Rayne hurried to her side as quickly as she can get to her while being in her second trimester of pregnancy.
"Alice, what is it?" Rayne asks gently like she has heard Jasper do several times.
"Victoria," Alice whispers as she looks at Rayne. "She's coming to town."
"Stupid vampire," Rayne grumbles. "I mean Victoria."
"I know," Alice replies. "Want to go back and tell the others?"
"Yeah... I'd stay but Rosalie and Jasper would both be upset if I stayed somewhere alone with Victoria on the loose," Rayne mumbles as she stands.
"I do love this jet," Alice muses as the girls get off the jet.
Rayne drives her and Alice back home, where Alice explains to the coven about her vision. Edward has went to tell Charlie about plane tickets to Jacksonville so that Bella can see her mom. He wants to get her out of Forks due to Victoria's being around.
Charles moves some while the others discuss Victoria and ways to protect the land.
Rayne grabs her cellphone and texts Paul.
To: PaulyL
Hey, Paul. Run it by Sam that Victoria will be coming around soon. Alice saw it. Keep an eye out.
"I texted Paul to run it by Sam to keep an eye," Rayne states.
"Thank you, dear," Esme coos. "Let's go get you and Charles fed."
Rayne smiles at Esme and she follows the woman upstairs with a genuine smile. Esme grills some chicken and cuts it up for a salad for Rayne. Esme goes to hunt while Rayne eats some lunch to keep her and baby Charles healthy.
Rayne fiddles with her fingers as she eats, Charles is moving around some inside the womb. He seems to be an energetic baby so far, Rayne can't wait until she has him. Her due date is in July but it's Rhône and Spears common to have a baby at least a month early. So Charles will be here any where between June and July.
Edward walks in and he leans against the counter beside the siren. "Hello."
"Hi," Rayne greets; she and Edward never got to know each other, heck, they barely even talk. "Is Charlie letting you bring Bella to Florida?"
"Yeah... much to my surprise and Bella's," Edward replies.
"You know that if someone else tells her about Victoria, she will be upset," Rayne informs Edward and he sighs, nodding. "I'm not going to tell her but you and I both know who wouldn't care if he made Bella mad at you."
"Jacob," Edward mutters. "Yeah, I know. He has been jealous that Bella is with me instead of him since the beginning."
"Yeah," Rayne muses. "You should have seen him when Bella went to Italy you."
"How'd Paul react to you coming to Italy?" Edward teases.
"You went to Italy?" Rosalie asks as she walks in.
Rayne's eyes widen as she looks at Edward, who immediately looks guilty.
"Nothing happened to her," Edward assures his sister. "She just... sang. The only issue is that the Kings want her to join them because she is powerful."
"When.... how?" Rose frowns, disappointed.
Rayne looks down, feeling ashamed. "I took my jet."
"Rosalie, ease up," Jasper scolds as he casually strolls in. "Rayne, you have nothing to be ashamed of. You did what you thought was right."
"It wasn't right!" Rosalie exclaims. "You're pregnant, for Christ sake!"
Rayne flinches. "I know, I... I'm sorry."
Jasper places a hand on Rayne's back but she shrugs him off.
"I'm going to La Push," she growls before she goes upstairs.
Rayne packs an overnight bag for a few days and she goes to her new Volvo. Rosalie watches with disappointment. Rose is upset at herself for being disappointed because she knows how much Rayne deserved to be proud of but she did something wreckoess.
Rayne drives to the Lahote residence and she knocks on the door. Anne Lahote, Paul's mother, opens the door.
"Rayne!" Anne muses, they met while the Cullens were gone. "You need a place to stay a while, huh?"
Rayne nods as tears flood her eyes. "She said she was disappointed."
Anne lets Rayne in and takes her bag after closing the door. "Paul told me about your Italy trip. You did what was best, in your head. You've nothing to be ashamed over, Rayne."
"Thank you, mama Anne," Rayne says, falling Anne what she insisted the siren call her. "Is Paul... at Sam's?"
"Patrolling," Anne mumbles as she sits in a chair. "Did you hear about Harry Clearwater's kids phasing?"
"I didn't," Rayne replies. "Paul hasn't been taking my calls."
Anne frowns. "I'll talk to my son... I have an order at the diner in Forks. Could you be a dear and pick it up for me?"
Rayne smiles and nods. "Of course."
"I'll put your bag in the spare bedroom," Anne coos.
Rayne thanks the woman before she heads out right as Paul walks in. They stop right in front of each other and the hothead hugs her. Rayne inhales her friend's scent and hugs him back.
"She's staying for a little while," Anne informs her son as she comes back downstairs.
"Alright," Paul replies and kisses Rayne's head. "I need a shower." He lets his hand brush Rayne's stomach and Charles moves his foot across Rayne's stomach before the two separate.
Rayne drives to the diner in Forks and she spots Charlie Swan having dinner.
"Order for Lahote?" Rayne says to Cora.
"Rayne Spears?" Charlie gushes.
"Hello, Chief," Rayne greets before getting the food. "Have a good day, Charlie."
Rayne nods her farewell in a head nod and she heads back to La Push, where there are people who aren't upset with her.
