A/N: This is somewhat of a filler chapter. I felt it needed to happen for a lot of reasons. The next chapter will go back into the action. Enjoy, and as always please review they mean so much.
Jule’s POV:
When I heard the words ‘I think I should find him and stay with him, that will keep me alive, and all of you safe’, I went numb. I felt like I was losing my mother all over again. When I could finally find my voice, I was afraid to use it and ask the question burning in my mind, because I didn’t know if I could handle the answer. I gently handed Liam to Rosalie, he had fallen fast asleep so I knew he wouldn’t notice the change. I sat up straight looked my mother square in the face, “Why are you so willing to leave me again? Don’t you want to be a part of mine and Liam’s life?” She stared at me with a shocked expression. “Jule, do you really think that little of me? It’s killing me to think I will be leaving you both behind to go back to a man who has lied to me, hurt me and controlled me. I’m only doing it so that you all will be safe, and all of us won’t have to always watch our backs. Ask Edward, he can read my mind, so I’m sure he can tell you how this makes me feel". I looked at Edward and he nodded to show he could validate my mother’s words.
I hung my head, I felt terrible for thinking such a horrible thing. “I’m sorry mom, I should have never accused you of such a thing. It’s just that, well I just got you back, and Liam has only just met you. I can’t bear the thought of losing you again. If you go back to him, he will never let us find you.” I felt Emmett begin to rub small circles on my hand with his thumb trying to sooth me. I smiled down at him. I looked around the room, “Where is Alice?”. Everyone shook their heads and shrugged. Edward moved forward, “She just ran upstairs, I think she is trying to get a vision". I was hoping Alice would come back down and give us good news, I didn’t know if I could handle bad news. Emmett smiled up at Liam asleep in Rosalie’s arms, “Love, I think maybe we should take him home and let him sleep in his own bed. We haven’t even had the chance to really appreciate our home yet". I nodded, it sounded like the perfect thing to take our mind off of my mothers mate.
My mother looked so worn, I had to remind myself how difficult this all must be on her. “Mom, how about you come see our home, and visit with us before any decisions are made. We have years to catch up on, and I’d love for you to get to know Liam more as well. Regardless of what you decide let’s enjoy our time for now". My mother gave me a huge smile, “I would love that. Lead the way". We said our goodbyes to everyone, Jasper went off to find Alice, and Edward and Bella were following our example and taking Renesmee home for some down time. Rosalie stood unsure in the corner of the room. I knew why right away. “Rosalie, your coming along right?” She looked up in surprise, “I don’t want to intrude, I know you need family time with your mother and family". I smiled, it meant a lot that she would want to do that for us, but I knew how difficult it was for me to be far from Emmett and I knew it was like that for her when it came to Liam. “Rosalie, your family too. You are always welcome in our home. Liam would hate to wake up and not know where you are, please join us". She gave me a brilliant smile and nodded, “alright, thank you".Rosalie’s POV:
When Jule said she wanted to take Liam home and spend time with her mother I felt uneasy. I didn’t want to intrude on them, but I hated to be apart from Liam for any length of time. I was afraid to ask to come along to the new house because I knew Jule deserved time with her mother, so I was beyond excited when she told me I could come with. Ever since I found out Liam had imprinted on me, I felt whole again. I wasn’t constantly thinking how my life would have been if I was never turned into a vampire. As wonderful as Emmett was, I never felt this happy with him. I don’t know how my feeling will evolve with Liam, as of now I only feel very protective of him, and want to see him happy. It’s the same way I feel towards Renesmee, the only difference being that I can’t stand to be away from him, it’s physically painful. I know it will work out in the end. I believe more now than ever that everything happens for a reason.
When we got to Emmett and Jule’s home I smiled, I helped with the house of course, but it never ceased to amaze me how much Esme knew us all. She Even knew Jule inside and out and it’s been only a few months. The house was definitely them. Jule ushered for me to follow her upstairs, she was going to put Liam to sleep in his crib. “Rose, I wanted to talk to you alone for a minute". She kissed Liam’s forehead, pulled his blanket up and walked out into the hall. She walked until she came to the door right next to Liam’s room and then opened the door and walked inside. “This is our guest room, or that’s what it was intended to be, but I want you to have it.” I was shocked, I never would have imagined that Jule would give me a room in her home. I was speechless so she continued. “I know how much Liam loves to have you around. I hope you’ll make this room your own, and use it as much as you like".
I knew if I could, I would have been crying when Jule showed me what would become my room. I knew it was a huge gesture on her part. “Thank you so much, this means more to me than I could ever express". We moved in and hugged for the first time, I knew at that moment that Jule, Emmett, Liam and myself would always be incredibly close. I excused myself into my new room so I could figure out how I wanted to decorate it, and I wanted to give Jule her alone time with her mother without having to leave the house. When I knew she was downstairs, I walked into Liam’s room to check on him, he was fast asleep and as usual had a small smile on his face, he was such a happy kid. His smile was infectious. After kissing his little hand I headed back to my room sat on the bed and tried to pick out a design in my head, although I knew it was pointless because Alice would be all over the chance to shop online. At least it was keeping my mind occupied for now.Emmett’s POV:
I watched my mate walk away with Rosalie, and I was a little curious what Jule wanted to talk about. I turned to Elizabeth, “I’m glad you came over, Jule misses you, this means a lot to her.” She gave me a sad smile, “It means a lot to me too, I don’t want to leave her, or Liam, or you for that matter, but I just can’t see a way around it.” I walked over to where she was sitting in the kitchen and sat down, “Elizabeth, I promise we will do everything we can before we even consider letting you go back to him". She placed her hand on my arm, “Thank you Emmett, that means a lot, and please call me Liz". I hoped this was the beginning of a great friendship. I wanted my entire family to be as close as possible.
After a few minutes Jule came down the stairs alone, I raised my eyebrow in question. Jule laughed, “I just showed Rosalie her room. She’s planning the redecoration". I let out a booming laugh, “Of course she’s redecorating, not enough mirrors". Rose came down the stairs, “I heard that, and your wrong about the mirrors, there are plenty, they just aren’t big enough". She then stuck her tongue out at me with a smile and ran back upstairs. It felt nice to be back on joking terms with her. If it wasn’t for the issues with Liz’s mate, or ex mate as it seemed, life would be very nearly perfect. “I’m glad she accepted the offer, Liam will feel better having us all under one roof.” I looked at both Jule and Liz as they began nodding, they were so much alike, you could never doubt the family resemblance. “Well ladies, I think I’m going to go play some Madden and give you some time alone". I walked over to Jule and placed a gentle kiss on her lips and disappeared into our living room and my very large flat screen.Jule’s POV:
I watched my Mate walk out of the room, I knew it was his way to give us time alone to talk. “I can’t wait to officially be married to that man". I turned and smiled at my mom. “Your glowing sweetheart, I can see the love between you, and you definitely made a beautiful child together. It’s all still a little hard for me to take in, but I’m loving it.” I walked over to our kitchen island and sat on the stool, “I know it’s a ton of information, I just needed you to know everything. The Cullens are amazing, they accepted me right away without even giving it a second thought. They love Liam and I like we have always been there". I saw the look on my mother’s face, “I couldn’t be happier to have you be apart of my life again, Grandma took incredible care of me, but I always wished I could have you both".
My mother stood up and started pacing, “I’m sorry Jule, I should have fought harder to see you. Maybe if I did more research or looked for other nomads I could have heard of this way of life". I was next to her in a flash holding onto her in our first hug in so many years, “mom, I don’t blame you for any of this. Besides if you hadn’t told me what to look for, I would never have met Emmett and I wouldn’t have Liam, I believe everything happened to lead us to this point in our lives". She smiled, “Well when you put in like that I guess it did turn out pretty well. We just have to figure out the Alex problem, and I need to figure out a place to stay". Emmett must have heard because he yelled in from the living room, “We will take care of Alex and you can stay here. We will build an addition or an apartment over the garage, we’ll work it out". That was my Emmett, my own personal night in shining armor. My looked down at the floor but smiled and whispered, “Thanks Emmett". She knew he would hear her.
Just when I was about to talk more about our time apart, my little guy decided to wake up. He was always a happy baby unless he was alone, s he was screaming with all his might, “Mommy! Mommy! Rose! Daddy! You left me". I should have thought better than to put him in his crib alone he isn’t use to it yet. By the time I got to his room which was less than a second, Rosalie had Liam in her arms and he seemed a little better but was still sniffling. “Hi Rose. My mommy? My Daddy?” She smiled and turned him towards me, “MOMMY! My mommy, hold you?” I laughed, “How are you going to hold me little guy?” He held out his chubby little arms, “Hold you? Please mommy, hold you?” Then I caught on, he hears us say things like “Do you want me to hold you". So he got confused. “Liam can I hold you?” He smiled and nodded his head, “Yes, hold you please". It was beyond adorable. I took him in my arms and the three of us walked downstairs. Liam waved to Emmett, “Hi my daddy, I up". He smiled back, “I see that, did you sleep well?” Liam looked down, “sleep good. All alone, don’t like it.".Emmett looked at me, with a questioning look, “He woke up all alone and wasn’t a big fan, I should have thought about that". Emmett just nodded he understood.Liam’s POV:
When I woke up I was scared, I was all alone and couldn’t find mommy, daddy or Rose. I knew I was in the room my grandma made special for me, but I still didn’t like it. I yelled as loud as I could, “Mommy! Mommy! Rose! Daddy! You left me.” My Rose came into my room, “Aw it’s alright Liam we are all here we didn’t leave you". I smiled, “Hi Rose. My mommy? My Daddy?” She laughed and then my mommy walked in. “MOMMY! My mommy, hold you?” She didn’t understand what I meant, I must have gotten mixed up. When she took me down stairs I said hi to my daddy too. I told him how good I slept but I wanted him to know I didn’t like being alone so I told him that too. I was happy everyone was here. I turned my head and saw my grandma, “Hi Gama you here too. Yay". I clapped my hands and then reached towards her but she didn’t take me. Maybe she doesn’t like me.
I got sad but then she said, “I want to hold you honey I do, I just want to make sure your safe with me, so not just yet ok?” I was still sad but I said ok. That’s when Rose came over to mommy and me, “Can I hold you Liam?”, I smiled and reached out to her. Rose was mine, I didn’t like it when she left me. “My Rose, my rose, my rose". I sang it over and over. She smiled and rocked me in her arms. I remember the funny picture I got in my head. Rose was there with some big boy, I didn’t like that picture. He was doing something weird with her face it made me mad. When they stopped they both smiled and looked happy, I like when Rose is happy, but she is my Rose. I decided I would watch out for that guy, and not let him go near my rose. I snuggled closer to her, I loved when she held me. That’s when Mommy’s pocket made a funny sound, She picked it up, “Hey Alice what’s up? Oh no, OK, thanks for the heads up I’ll tell them". She turned to my daddy and grandma, “Alice had a vision, we may have a problem".
