We watched in silence, simply enjoying the time spent together as friends and couples, glad that the tension seemed to have cleared.

The rest of the day went on like this, watching movies, sitting on the couch, talking about random subjects. We only got up to go to the bathroom, move positions, or to have someone go make snacks for everybody.

Before we knew it, we were interrupted while watching “Miracle on 34th Street,” by the sound of the doorbell.

“Aunt Kate and the fam are here. Get the door Jazz.” Rose said from the couch, sitting up and straightening her shirt.

I sat up, following Rose's lead. I heard the door squeak open and turned to see who the new visitors were.

There in the doorway, stood a very tall, very blond woman with slate-blue eyes. Next to her was a tall man, with a friendly grin that crinkled around his murky, green eyes and long, sandy blond hair tied back in a ponytail. Between the two, stood a tall girl, about 5'7”, strawberry blond, with a thin frame and icy blue eyes.

“Hello, I'm Kate Caelan.” the blond woman in back said, meeting my open-mouthed gawking stare, with a warm smile.

I snapped my mouth shut audibly and scrambled up from the couch to greet her and her family.

“Isabella. Isabella Swan, but I go by Bella.” I said, shaking her hand gently.

“Well, hello, Bella. I'm Garrett Caelan. Kate's Husband.” the man next to her said in a jovial tone, pulling me into a tight bear hug and chuckling heartily.

He reminded me of Emmett with his actions and build, though he was smaller than Emmett in girth, not that Emmett was fat in any way. He was so outgoing and friendly that I couldn't help smiling back at the man.

Tanya stepped forward, looking directly at Edward.

“How nice to see you again, Edward.” she said, in a surprisingly young sounding voice.

The sound of her voice threw me off, but Edward speaking up brought me back to reality.

“Bella, I'd like you to meet Tanya. Jasper and Rosalie's onl—cousin.” Edward said, from beside me, sparking curiosity with his word mix-up.

He placed a hand on my low back and all curiosity disappeared, as I focused on what he had just said about actually greeting the intimidating girl in front of me.
