Time, where did you go?

Why did you leave me here alone?

Wait, don’t go so fast

I’m missing the moments as they pass.

One could only imagine Edward Cullen’s shock when, upon hearing his daughter’s inner ‘voice’, ran to the window and begot the sight of the insightful young redhead carting a much different companion in tow. To put it blandly, his eyebrows shot up quite a deal.

Catching the unrecognizable scent seeping in from outside, the other members of the household raised their heads to stare out the windows as well.

“Who’s that?” Calisle questioned.

All Edward said was, “A very memorable friend,” as he continued staring out the window.

Every Cullen in the living room tensed a mere five feet from the door as Nessie twisted the doorknob.

“Hi, Carlisle.” She called out, for he was the first one she saw closest to the entrance. “Look who I found wandering around!” Even though, it had been the other way around, Nessie displayed the unabashed Nahuel with self pride.

As always, Carlisle was the first to snap out of the shock. He approached the pair with a sunny smile on his fair face, extending his hand out to Nahuel in recognition. “Welcome back, Nahuel. What brings you to this part of the country?” There was some hint of teasing in Carlisle’s tone that only Nahuel and Edward caught.

Nahuel flashed a courteous smile at the surrounding members of the Cullen family before answering Carlisle’s question. He wasn’t oblivious to the fact that the other three males were eying him suspiciously, though Edward and Jasper were better at concealing it than the biggest one, whose eyes were narrowed into thin slits and hugely muscled arms folded across his immense chest.

“As a matter of fact, I was on my way to visit the Denali clan. I passed by Washington as a snap decision.” He continued with a tone just as laid-back as before. “Then I saw Renesmee in a clearing a few ways from your house.”

“I was in the meadow.” Nessie clarified when she caught the curious glance her father sent her.

Carlisle nodded.

“Well, you should visit Tanya’s family”, he said to Nahuel, “They are very hospitable. And we would be honored if you’d wish to stay awhile longer.”
