mean；　it's　not　like　you　don't　look。。。　good。　I'll　get　used　to　it。〃　

〃Thanks；　Dad。〃　

Charlie　nodded　and　walked　thoughtfully　toward　his　car。　I　watched　him　drive　away；　it　wasn't　until　I　heard　
his　tires　hit　the　freeway　that　I　realized　I'd　done　it。　I'd　actually　made　it　through　the　whole　day　without　
hurting　Charlie。　All　by　myself。　I　must　have　a　superpower！　

It　seemed　too　good　to　be　true。　Could　I　really　have　both　my　new　family　and　some　of　my　old　as　well？　
And　I'd　thought　that　yesterday　had　been　perfect。

〃Wow；〃　I　whispered。　I　blinked　and　felt　the　third　set　of　contact　lenses　disintegrate。　

The　sound　of　the　piano　cut　off；　and　Edward's　arms　were　around　my　waist；　his　chin　resting　on　my　
shoulder。　

〃You　took　the　word　right　out　of　my　mouth。〃　

〃Edward；　i　did　it！〃　

〃You　did。　You　were　unbelievable。　All　that　worrying　over　being　a　newborn；　and　then　you　skip　it　
altogether。'7He　laughed　quietly。　

〃I'm　not　even　sure　she's　really　a　vampire；　let　alone　a　newborn；〃　Emmett　called　from　under　the　stairs。　
〃She's　too　tame。〃　

All　the　embarrassing　ments　he'd　made　in　front　of　my　father　sounded　in　my　ears　again；　and　it　was　
probably　a　good　thing　I　was　holding　Renesmee。　Unable　to　help　my　reaction　entirely；　I　snarled　under　my　
breath。　

〃Oooo；　scary；〃　Emmett　laughed。　

I　hissed；　and　Renesmee　stirred　in　my　arms。　She　blinked　a　few　times；　then　looked　around；　her　expression　
confused。　She　sniffed；　then　reached　for　my　face。　

〃Charlie　will　be　back　tomorrow；〃　I　assured　her。　

〃Excellent；〃　Emmett　said。　Rosalie　laughed　with　him　this　time。　

〃Not　brilliant；　Emmett；〃　Edward　said　scornfully；　holding　out　his　hands　to　take　Renesmee　from　me。　He　
winked　when　I　hesitated；　and　so；　a　little　confused；　I　gave　her　to　him。　

〃What　do　you　mean？〃　Emmett　demanded。　

〃It's　a　little　dense；　don't　you　think；　to　antagonize　the　strongest　vampire　in　the　house？〃　

Emmett　threw　his　head　back　and　snorted。　〃Please！〃　

〃Bella；〃　Edward　murmured　to　me　while　Emmett　listened　closely；　〃do　you　remember　a　few　months　ago；　I　
asked　you　to　do　me　a　favor　once　you　were　immortal？〃　

That　rang　a　dim　bell。　I　sifted　through　the　blurry　human　conversations。　After　a　moment；　I　remembered　
and　I　gasped；　〃Oh！〃　

Alice　trilled　a　long；　pealing　laugh。　Jacob　poked　his　head　around　the　corner；　his　mouth　stuffed　with　food。　

〃What？〃　Emmett　growled。　

〃Really？〃　I　asked　Edward。　

〃Trust　me；〃　he　said。

I　took　a　deep　breath。　〃Emmett；　how　do　you　feel　about　a　little　bet？〃　

He　was　on　his　feet　at　once。　〃Awesome。　Bring　it。〃　

I　bit　my　lip　for　a　second。　He　was　just　so　huge。　

〃Unless　you're　too　afraid。。。　？〃　Emmett　suggested。　

I　squared　my　shoulders。　〃You。　Me。　Armwrestling。　Dining　room　table。　Now。〃　

Emmett's　grin　stretched　across　his　face。　

〃Er；　Bella；〃　Alice　said　quickly；　〃I　think　Esme　is　fairly　fond　of　that　table。　It's　an　antique。〃　

〃Thanks；〃　Esme　mouthed　at　her。　

〃No　problem；〃　Emmett　said　with　a　gleaming　smile。　〃Right　this　way；　Bella。〃　

I　followed　him　out　the　back；　toward　the　garage；　I　could　hear　all　the　others　trailing　behind。　There　was　a　
largish　granite　boulder　standing　up　out　of　a　tumble　of　rocks　near　the　river；　obviously　Emmett's　goal。　
Though　the　big　rock　was　a　little　rounded　and　irregular；　it　would　do　the　job。　

Emmett　placed　his　elbow　on　the　rock　and　waved　me　forward。　

I　was　nervous　again　as　I　watched　the　thick　muscles　in　Emmett's　arm　roll；　but　I　kept　my　face　smooth。　
Edward　had　promised　I　would　be　stronger　than　anyone　for　a　while。　He　seemed　very　confident　about　this；　
and　I　felt　strong。　That　strong？　I　wondered；　looking　at　Emmett's　biceps。　I　wasn't　even　two　days　old；　
though；　and　that　ought　to　count　for　something。　Unless　nothing　was　normal　about　me。　Maybe　I　wasn't　as　
strong　as　a　normal　newborn。　Maybe　that's　why　control　was　so　easy　for　me。　

I　tried　to　look　unconcerned　as　I　set　my　elbow　against　the　stone。　

〃Okay；　Emmett。　I　win；　and　you　cannot　say　one　more　word　about　my　sex　life　to　anyone；　not　even　Rose。　
No　allusions；　no　innuendos—no　nothing。〃　

His　eyes　narrowed。　〃Deal。　I　win；　and　it's　going　to　get　a　lot　worse。〃　

He　heard　my　breath　stop　and　grinned　evilly。　There　was　no　hint　of　bluff　in　his　eyes。　

〃You　gonna　back　down　so　easy；　little　sister？〃　Emmett　taunted。　〃Not　much　wild　about　you；　is　there？　I　bet　
that　cottage　doesn't　have　a　scratch。〃　He　laughed。　〃Did　Edward　tell　you　how　many　houses　Rose　and　I　
smashed？〃　

I　gritted　my　teeth　and　grabbed　his　big　hand。　〃One；　two—〃　

〃Three；〃　he　grunted；　and　shoved　against　my　hand。　

Nothing　happened。　

Oh；　I　could　feel　the　force　he　was　exerting。　My　new　mind　seemed　pretty　good　at　all　kinds　of　calculations；　
and　so　I　could　tell　that　if　he　wasn't　meeting　any　resistance；　his　hand　would　have　pounded　right　through　the

rock　without　difficulty。　The　pressure　increased；　and　I　wondered　randomly　if　a　cement　truck　doing　forty　
miles　an　hour　down　a　sharp　decline　would　have　similar　power。　Fifty　miles　an　hour？　Sixty？　Probably　
more。　

It　wasn't　enough　to　move　me。　His　hand　shoved　against　mine　with　crushing　force；　but　it　wasn't　unpleasant。　
It　felt　kind　of　good　in　a　weird　way。　I'd　been　so　very　careful　since　the　last　time　I　woke　up；　trying　so　hard　
not　to　break　things。　It　was　a　strange　relief　to　use　my　muscles。　To　let　the　strength　flow　rather　than　
struggling　to　restrain　it。　

Emmett　grunted；　his　forehead　creased　and　his　whole　body　strained　in　one　rigid　line　toward　the　obstacle　
of　my　unmoving　hand。　I　let　him　sweat—figuratively—for　a　moment　while　I　enjoyed　the　sensation　of　the　
crazy　force　running　through　my　arm。　

A　few　seconds；　though；　and　I　was　a　little　bored　with　it。　I　flexed；　Emmett　lost　an　inch。　

I　laughed。　Emmett　snarled　harshly　through　his　teeth。　

〃Just　keep　your　mouth　shut；〃　I　reminded　him；　and　then　I　smashed　his　hand　into　the　boulder。　A　deafening　
crack　echoed　off　the　trees。　The　rock　shuddered；　and　a　piece—about　an　eighth　of　the　mass—broke　off　at　
an　invisible　fault　line　and　crashed　to　the　ground。　It　fell　on　Emmett's　foot；　and　I　snickered。　I　could　hear　
Jacob's　and　Edward's　muffled　laughter。　

Emmett　kicked　the　rock　fragment　across　the　river。　It　sliced　a　young　maple　in　half　before　thudding　into　
the　base　of　a　big　fir；　which　swayed　and　then　fell　into　another　tree。　

〃Rematch。　Tomorrow。〃　

〃It's　not　going　to　wear　off　that　fast；〃　I　told　him。　〃Maybe　you　ought　to　give　it　a　month。〃　

Emmett　growled；　flashing　his　teeth。　〃Tomorrow。〃　

〃Hey；　whatever　makes　you　happy；　big　brother。〃　

As　he　turned　to　stalk　away；　Emmett　punched　the　granite；　shattering　off　an　avalanche　of　shards　and　
powder。　It　was　kind　of　neat；　in　a　childish　way。　

Fascinated　by　the　undeniable　proof　that　I　was　stronger　than　the　strongest　vampire　I'd　ever　known；　I　
placed　my　hand；　fingers　spread　wide；　against　the　rock。　Then　I　dug　my　fingers　slowly　into　the　stone；　
crushing　rather　than　digging；　the　consistency　reminded　me　of　hard　cheese。　I　ended　up　with　a　handful　of　
gravel。　

〃Cool；〃　I　mumbled。　

With　a　grin　stretching　my　face；　I　whirled　in　a　sudden　circle　and　karatechopped　the　rock　with　the　side　of　
my　hand。　The　stone　shrieked　and　groaned　and—with　a　big　poof　of　dust—split　in　two。　

I　started　giggling。　

I　didn't　pay　much　attention　to　the　chuckles　behind　me　while　I　punched　and　kicked　the　rest　of　the　boulder　
into　fragments。　I　was　having　too　much　fun；　snickering　away　the　whole　time。　It　wasn't　until　I　heard　a　new　
little　giggle；　a　highpitched　peal　of　bells；　that　I　turned　away　from　my　silly　game。

〃Did　she　just　laugh？〃　

Everyone　was　staring　at　Renesmee　with　the　same　dumbstruck　expression　that　must　have　been　on　my　
face。　

〃Yes；〃　Edward　said。　

〃Who　wasnt　laughing？〃　Jake　muttered；　rolling　his　eyes。　

〃Tell　me　you　didn't　let　go　a　bit　on　your　first　run；　dog；〃　Edward　teased；　no　antagonism　in　his　voice　at　all。　

〃That's　different；〃　Jacob　said；　and　I　watched　in　surprise　as　he
