The Phantom Wolf

Chapter 84 (Renesmee's Introduction)

*3rd Person POV*

Although Pearl was enjoying the show of affection from her family, the tightness and magnitude of the hug was becoming slightly uncomfortable, and making breathing, a little more difficult.

"...guys ...can't breath..." Pearl gasped out.

Everyone let go of her in a flash, worried that they may have hurt her. But seeing her smiling form, their worries were instantly squashed. And a bunch of wide smiles returned to each of their faces.

Carlisle asked gently, "How are you feeling?"

"Pretty good actually." Pearl sincerely responded, telling the truth.

"That's excellent dear." Esme exclaimed happily.

"Let me check you over first, just to be safe." Carlisle spoke hastily as Pearl moved to get up.

Pearl rolled her eyes somewhat dismissively, since she really did feel fine. But she obliged to Carlisle's request due to his obvious concern for her.

Apart from Bree and Carlisle, the coven left the room to return downstairs and await Bella's return from her first hunt. Emmet gave Pearl another quick hug before letting Rosalie drag him away.

Carlisle thoroughly looked Pearl over and also checked all of her pre-existing injuries as well. The significant scarring on her left shoulder and right leg had faded quite a bit. They were still visible, but less prominent. However, Pearl did have new scarring going along her back and across her stomach. When Carlisle examined the aforementioned areas, Pearl didn't even flinch. The injuries were now fully healed over, no longer causing the hybrid any pain or discomfort.

Bree watched her mate with worried eyes the entire time. Truly hoping that she was okay, but the young vampire needed confirmation from Carlisle before she let herself believe anything.

After 10 minutes, Carlisle gave Pearl the all clear. Although her heart beat was much more quiet than it was originally, it remained at a steady beat and seemed healthy enough.

Bree sighed in relief when she heard the good news, which caused Pearl to smirk at her. Bree just rolled her eyes and looked away from the hybrid. Getting slightly annoyed at Pearl's lack of care for the seriousness of the situation.

Carlisle chuckled at their short interaction, then drew their attention with a simple suggestion. "Why don't we head downstairs and join the others?"

Bree nodded silently, while Pearl smiled and said "Sure."

*Some Time Later*

Sitting in the living room, Pearl was informed by the family that Bella was a vampire now and had just gone hunting with Edward. After hearing the news Pearl frowned slightly, but quickly covered it up with a smile. She started wondering what had happened to Bella's baby, as nobody had mentioned it to her.

Picking up on her emotions, Jasper asked. "You okay?" While giving her a knowing look.

Understanding that she couldn't lie or brush it off. Pearl carefully asked the dreaded question. "What happened to Bella and Edward's baby?"

Esme immediately smiled at her, easing the hybrid's nerves. "They're okay. You, Bree and Bella, are the only ones that haven't met her yet." The matriarch explained.

'Her? So it's a girl.' Pearl inwardly smiled and nodded at the matriarch. Although she wondered why Bree hadn't yet met the child, since her imprint had thought so hard for their existence. Although Pearl didn't question why she had to wait. The kid's literal mother, hadn't met her yet. Pearl would meet the baby when Bella and Edward allowed it.
