Rachael had been cooking all day, while trying to get ready for this night. When she had suggested this, she knew not everyone would like it, but oh well. They once had been a solid pack, brothers even. She wanted to see them as all friends, or even family again. Jacob was her brother and she was not going to be in the middle of some grudge between packs. While they were not worried about the other pack attacking them, Rachael wanted there to be true peace between them. So she had went to her computer and typed up very sweet and open invites and hand deviled (almost) every single one. There was no RSVP, so Rachael did not know who would come and who would not. While Rachael had heard of Jacob's imprintee she had yet to meet the special little girl. She hoped she would tonight.

She packed all the food she had been cooking into a truck she had borrowed from a friend for the night and drove as close to the cliff as she could. Rachael had not told anyone besides Paul and Emily that she was expecting a baby, but she planned to tell others tonight. Rachael climbed out of the truck, again wishing she was taller, as she walked around the back and opened the tailgate. She hoped one of the wolves came soon to help carry things and start the fire. What she needed was a good strong wolf! [/blockquote][If your a wolf, or an imprtinee you can join!]

[Paul Lahote]

-------

Paul was coping with the news a bit better than when she had first told him. He was trying to take control of the situation by looking for a job . . . a paying job, so that he would be able to make enough to support his family. Luckily, he had found a job . . . and had not had the chance to tell Ray yet. She had been busy cooking, and he had been busy getting what he needed because he actually had to do some studying for this. If he had a choice, he would not tell everyone else, but since it was nearly impossible to keep secrets from people, he would have to tell at least his pack that he was planning to be the Deputy of Forks.

As much as he didn't want to go to this bonfire -- mostly because it was going to have both packs and Paul still hadn't made peace with that fact -- he had to support Rachael and he didn't want her doing too much work while she was expecting, not just one . . . but two babies. He had run to the top of the cliff and was happy to see that she had just arrived. He quickly went to her and put his arms around her from behind. "Hey beautiful," he greeted, kissing her on top of the head. He was currently in a good mood, but he knew that it was not going to last very long because as soon as he saw the other pack, he was going to become agitated. So he had better spend the time he was in a good mood, with Rachael. "Let me help you with that," he said, grabbing as many of the supplies as he could.

Rachael jumped slightly at Paul's voice, but it turned into a fast and bright smile. She was getting more used to the way you could never hear the men coming until they opened their mouth. They all moved so silently at times that Rachael wondered how it was possible. How did anything the size of them move with out a sound? "Thank you." She smiled up at Paul, "I can carry the breads, they are not go heavy."

Rachael got the bread and waited until Paul had almost half the truck load in his arms before walking up to the cliffs edges were the bonfire is held. There was logs and a fire pit already made from their meetings before. Rachael had never been to one, but had heard the stories of the good times they had around the fire. She hoped tonight would be the same! (Even if it was going to be a little cold). [/blockquote]

[Paul Lahote]

As he carried the things up to the camp site, he knew he had better tell her of his job opportunity before the others got here. "So I went job hunting today . . . I found something that seems pretty good, pay wise anyway. I just gotta do some studying for it and what not, but it doesn't seem to hard." Paul was not going to admit that he had any idea as to how he was going to raise two children, carry out his duties as beta of a pack, and work a full time job. He would manage . . . he had to. "What do you think abut me, being Deputy of Forks?" He looked at her, smiling, as he was proud to have found such a job, but also wasn't completely sure as to whether Rachael approved of it or not.

"I talked to Chief Swan, he said that I just needed to past some tests and stuff, but that the position was open and said that I had a good chance of getting it." Paul didn't know what his chances were, he was just trying to sound optimistic.

[Leah Clearwater]

This was not Leah Clearwater's idea of smart.

Smart would be keeping Ness away from idiots like a few of the ones on Sam's pack. (PAUL) But Leah knew it was time for Ness to see how the 'non-cullens' live in order to help her live in Jake's world when she was older. Leah dressed down for this meeting, in jeans and a t shirt; both freshly washed so not to spark any comments about the rich 'friends' Jake had made.

Leah and Ness were on the beach, not far from the cliffs, waiting on Jake, or Seth or whoever was joining them so they could go up to the cliffs in numbers. While Leah trusted them not to be waiting to hurt them, she wasn't about to take little Ness, up there alone. She would protect her, even if there was seemingly nothing to protect her from. "You excited, kid?" Leah asked Ness who was sitting on her shoulders, "Or are you getting nervous?"

[◇Renesmee Cullen◇]

So finally the day was here. The day where Renesmee would learn all about Jacob's pack, all about the wolfs and how they came to be. Renesmee's mother and father had already talked to her about theses stories. Already told her that in these tails Vampiers were portrayed as evil, and how untrue that was. Her parents had already told her that someone had to be the 'bad guy' so the wolves could look good, and the Cullen's gave the okay. So the Cullen's would be the bad guys, well not the Cullen's but vampires in general. Renesmee was only told this so she would not freak at the story's, for Renesmee was a very sensitive little girl, though she did not show it. She was not sure where Jacob was, or anyone for that matter, for Leah had picked her up and taken her to La Push, where her parents were not aloud. This was scary for her, being away from her mother and father, being somewhere were they could not get her if she needed them. A place where Jacob, Leah and Seth were her only friends, her siblings so to say. Renesmee was a very special girl she was, but that did not mean she was not shy. Renesmee being just over a year old, was still very shy. For this was the very first time she was aloud out of the house. For a whole year she has seen nothing but the land the Cullen's own. And for good reason too. She may only be a year old, but she was already reading at a 5th grade level, she looked to be closer to two years of age, and she was fully coordinated. She could run and jump and talk in full complete sentences. Though she never had to use her voice. Well not until today.

You see Renesmee had a very special gift, a gift in which the 'victim' would see anything Renesmee choice to show them, it required a simple touch from Renesmee. All Renesmee had to do was have her fingers touch someones cheek and that was it. Shoot Renesmee could be asleep, and her gift would still work. Her hand just needed to touch someones face and that was that, they would see everything Renesmee saw. Renesmee was warned not to use her special gift. She was not to touch anyone besides Leah, Jacob and Seth. That was it. Renesmee fully understood this rule, but she did not like it. Not being able to use her gift mean she had to speak. She had to use her baby soft, high pitched voice. A voice that sounded so strange to her, for she's never really herd it. Renesmee was very smart, but again she was warned to act like a child. She was not to sound older then she really was. A one year old girl. But how does a one year old girl act? That Renesmee was still working on. She was not to speak more then a few words at a time, and she should not use big ones at that. Renesmee was just worried. So many rules, yet could she remember to follow them all?

Renesmee clung to Leah's shoulders looking down at the beach were two people were already there setting up, or so it looked that way. He knew one was Rachael, or Ray, Jacobs real sister, she was excited to meat Ray, for she's herd a lot about her. The other has to be Paul, she herd Leah and Jacob talking about Paul, and put it lightly Renesmee was not going to speak with him, nope, she'd click to Leah like Leah was the only thing keeping her alive. Oh course if Jacob or Seth ever showed up she'd cling to them too. Basically she would not be left with out one of them holding her, or at the very least holding her hand. Renesmee was very stubborn, spoiled too, and put it this way, if she did not get what she wanted, mommy and daddy, and the rest of the Cullen's would hear about it. Or rather they would see first hand how upset she was, and that would not be a good thing. It was best to keep Renesmee happy or you'd have a angry clan of vampires on your ass in a heart beat.

Leah had asked her a question, and Renesmee herd her fully, she just choice not to answer Leah out loud. In fact she did not answer Leah at all. She was much too nervous to do so. Though her belly was full of blood, and she was generally happy, she still did not want to be here. She knew that Sam, did not like her, in fact most wolfs were not fans of Vampiers, so she was not sure how others would react to her being here. She was scared to death, with out her parents here, she was lost. Even know it has yet to be an hour, she still missed her parents, and wished to turn back and go home. She was not ready to meet the family. She was not ready to face mean people. Renesmee was freaking out, thought you'd never be able to tell, for she watched Ray and Paul set up, and let her mind focus on that rather then the butterfly's attacking her stomach. Let's hope she does not get any blood on her new pretty white dress. She got it special for this. Made her look like a princess with out the crown. Renesmee had never thrown anything up before, and she really hoped it'll stay that way. Fingers crossed or, Leah would find herself covered in blood and tears.

[Jacob Black]

When Jacob arrived at the Cullen's he was told Renesmee was already gone, that Leah had taken her to the bonfire before he had even thought about getting to the Cullen's. He sighed, but wasn't to concerned outright. If she had to be with anyone outside of the coven he would prefer it to be his Beta. Leah was MORE than capable of defending Nessie from Paul and Sam. Jake gave a quick smile to his imprintee's parents and ran to the forests edge where he could strip down, he tied his close to his ankle and shifted shape. He mind was empty, which was not as rare these days as it used to be, and he raced to wards La Push at full speed. Within minutes Leah and Ness came into his view and he stopped and changed back. Jacob quickly ripped his clothes back on, a pair of jeans and a blue-ish t-shirt, and emerged into view of the others.

The way Nessie clung to Leah, he knew she was nervous and why shouldn't she be? The wolves never cared for her that much, but they had all laid their life down for her once. They wouldn't be mean, well... SAM wouldn't be mean. With that thought Jacob's eyes traveled over to where his sister and Paul were setting up, if someone was to be rude he would bet it on Paul, and if that mutt so much as said one word wrong to Renesmee tonight he would rip out his throat. Or at least hurt him pretty badly. Once Jacob was close enough to his beta and imprintee, Jake's arms immediately went out and encased the baby girl, he lifted her from Leah's shoulders and turned her to hold her on his hip.

Her face, eyes, everything about her made him fog up for a second before he regained his thought process. He Nessie, ready for the big night? You get to meet everyone Leah, Seth, and I have grown up with. Two of my best friends are supposed to be here tonight to, hopefully they show up, huh?"He gave Nessie a tight squeeze, but nothing she could handle, and he looked to Leah. Did she want to wait for her baby brother? "Leah, is Seth coming?" The kid could handle himself, he knew that, but Leah loved her little brother, and she would want him to enter with the rest of his outcast pack. Jacob couldn't resist a small snicker at the thought of them being outcasts, he was a Black. He was the true Alpha. Oh well.

[sabriel]

Seth, in his human form, had passed through La Push. His sister had gone ahead earlier with Ness. He hoped she would wait for him, he didn't want to crash the party, especially since things hung on such a fragile balance already. He knew how important this 'casual' bonfire was. Introducing the wolves and Ness to one another was pretty risky, but Ness was adorable and Seth was confident that there wouldn't be any problems. He also knew what else was important, everybody had to keep their tempers tonight. If one person phased and attacked, that would be the end of the treaty. It would perhaps be forgiven if it was just wolves, but Rachael had arranged the bonfire and she would be there. Jared might bring Kim and Sam would bring Emily. It would be unforgivable if somebody got hurt.

Seth reached the beach and noticed that Jacob was standing with Leah and Ness. Seth hadn't been sure who he would find on the beach, but he should have known to factor Jake into the equation. It was too dangerous to leave Ness alone in wolf territory with just Leah for protection. As he stepped onto the beach, a small, insignificant part of his brain noted that the texture of the floor had changed and that his foot sank down further. He couldn't feel the sand rubbing against his toes and it was a sort of relief. It would be undignified for a wolf to gain blisters. Walking at a faster pace than most humans, Seth reached the trio in a small amount of time.

"Hi, we all set?" Seth asked the pack at large.

Seth lifted Ness's heavy locks to peep into her face.

"Hiya Ness!" He said playfully, just a kid, "Ready to meet your uncles? Uncle Sam is way serious right, so you can't bite him. But the rest'll be really good to bite, kay?"

Seth didn't bother warning her about Paul, Jake probably fixed it right in her memory not to bite him.
"What's the plan, Leah?" He said to his older sister after hugging Ness hello. If it came to a fight out there, he needed his sister's 'permission' to fight. It was probably less harmful to fight than to risk Leah's wrath.

[◇Renesmee Cullen◇]

Just as Renesmee wished for her Jacob to show up there he was lifting her from Leah's shoulders and holding her in his big brotherly arms. Renesmee squealed with delight as she hugged Jacob. She tried to keep her voice down, but it being so high pitched and baby like, it just sorta carried. She would not be suprised if the human had herd her. But hey Jacob was there just when she wanted him. Renesmee may be a baby, but she can control herself....some what. In a typical Renesmee, she wrinkled her little face up, and bit Jacob right on the shoulder, in a typical Hello kind of way. She was sorta kinda teething. Well okay yeah she was full on teething so she was in quite the biting phase. Everything became a chew toy. If you held her you better bet she'd bite you at one point or another. Of course if her Jacob or her Leah or even her Seth told her not to, she'd listen. She knew better then to go around biting people. Then again her daddy did tell her it was just fine to Bite Jacob. As hard as she wanted. So Jacob often got the worst of it. Renesmee let herself, well chew on Jacob for a small second before she herd another join them.

She froze and looked up sending her ringlets bouncing around her face. A few strands landed in her face, that Seth picked, so she could see once again. Renesmee let out a sequel and pawed at the air, towards Seth, she thought it was a game. He was always so playful, so she could never see Seth not playing. So again with they typical greeting. Once more, Renesmee gave the same type of welcome to Seth. A squeal a hug and a nice nip on the shoulder, when he got close enough. A little advice and Renesmee nodded her head, once more causing her ringlet's to fly everywhere. She giggled as she sloppy pushed them from her face. She giggled bouncing a little in Jacobs arms. She had almost complete forgotten what she was about to do, whom she was about to meet. But the mention of a plan freaked her out, and Renesmee so quickly if you blinked you would have missed it, had her little rosy red face digging into Jacobs torso, her arms wrapped around him best she could. But seeing as her arms were so small, the one did not reach his other shoulder. So her arm was across his chest. Her face complete hidden, not only because it was being pressed into Jacob's shoulders but her beautiful hair was doing quite the job at keeping her face from view.

[Leah Clearwater]

Leah let Jake take Ness from her and she grinned at Seth. "The plan to to walk up there an remind them who owns this beach!" She joked, knowing they were almost the outsiders here. Still, if bloodlines were in accounting, Jake should own the beach, and she was his beta. Paul, was nothing but the dead weight and extra. Leah chuckled to her self. "Unless you got a better one, kid?" She asked as she jumped up on Seth's shoulders and jokingly head-locked him.

She let him go quickly since she was only playing with him, but she also knew before they made their grand entrance, she had one more plan to make. "Speaking of plans," Her face lost the smile, "If things go bad while we are here. We need an exit plan." Her eyes looked to Ness then Jake. Leah knew she was the fastest, and even with Ness on her back none of the boys had a chance of catching her. She also knew she didn't like running from a fight and she would even less like leaving Seth behind. Still, Seth was a big boy and Ness was a kid.

[Jacob Black]

Jacob watched in amusement at Nessie reaction to him picking her up. It always made him happy when she enjoyed his company, not only enjoyed it but needed it, craved it. He could see the quick change from nervous to comfortable when he had come into the picture. She trusted Leah, but part of her knew that Jacob was meant for her. Or at least Jacob told himself that. It was only second later when Seth also joined the group, and Jake smiled at how the kid played with Renesmee. The scene made him smile, because the three people he cared about most were enjoying one another's company. God forbid Leah ever hear that thought though. Jacob snorted at his own thoughts and held Renesmee tighter when she wrapped her arms around him, she was frightened once more.

With Renesmee's fear in the air, Jake resisted the urge to kill whoever was the cause of it, being as the cause was his other pack brothers. Instead he turned his attention to Leah, escape plan? Would they need one? He sure hoped not, but it WAS smart to be prepared. "Protect Renesmee, and get out of there." He knew the vampires would kill him if she got hurt, but he feared he would kill his pack brothers if they hurt her more. She would ride on Leah, he would let Leah lead while Seth and Jacob took the back, protecting her from behind. He knew the two would understand that would be the directions he gave. He could see it in their eyes. "Well, you guys ready?" He gave his Beta and her brother a warm smile and began walking toward his sister and her own wolf, Paul.

Working with the police? Rachael knew that both Forks and La Push were small towns, and that being a officer in one of these towns would be a much lower risk then being one in the city were she had spent much of her time, but she still felt worried about this. "You want to be an officer?" She asked trying to were this came form.

Paul wanting to work for the law? The man who loved to break rules wanted to enforce them for others? Would he be happy or come to hate this job? Was he doing this for him, or because of their growing family? [/blockquote]
