"Red? Little Red?" Wysteria hears the nickname and a memory jolts through her of a boy with a toothy grin and shaggy hair. She turns slowly. Behind her is a lanky guy with hair almost as long as hers, if not longer. His head is tilted slightly in di...

When Wysteria woke up the next morning she was curled up in Jacob's arms and she would have snuggled into his side and fallen back asleep if she hadn't remembered the events of the night before.

When she walked out into the living room. She was surprised to see the somber looks on everyone's faces. Wysteria paused.
"Is... Is something wrong?" Edward glanced over at Wysteria and sighed before motioning her to come closer. He was sitting next to Rosalie on the couch who was holding Renesmee. Wysteria could hear her blubbering lightly and smiled. She didn't realize why the Cullen's might be disconcerted until she got a closer look at Renesmee. She looked... Older.

"It seems that she is still growing just as rapidly as she was in the womb." Carlisle said.
"Will she ever... Stop?" Wysteria said.
"We... We don't know." Esme said in a small voice.
"We have to keep searching for these other half-human half vampire children." Alice spoke up. "There's gotta be someone somewhere who knows something about this." Alice said. "There's just no way that this is the first time a child like this has been born."
"I agree." Jasper said.
"How much will she grow by the time Bella wakes up? She's going to miss... So much." Wysteria said. Rosalie nodded slowly.
