Renesme

I always loved waking up to sunshine. Unfortunately, living in Forks greatly reduced those mornings that the sun would filter through the canopy of the forest that rested outside of our cabin, and danced along my pillow. Today was a beautiful day, I could tell already in the dawning light. Why couldn't today be rainy? I stretched under my warm quilt as I looked around at the moving boxes that filled my room. I finally pulled myself out of bed and stretched quickly. I may only be seven years old, but I was already full grown. I brushed my curls into a messy bun and pulled on some of Jake's old sweats and a sweat shirt. I'm sure aunt Alice would have some words for me, but today I didn't care, it was the day we were leaving my home, and my family. I heard my door creak open as my mom popped her head in to say good morning. She looked as sad as I felt. It never ceased to amaze me how beautiful my mother was. She said I had her eyes, but that was always hard for me to imagine.

"Hey baby doll, are you ready to go to the main house?" she asked as she snatched me into a strong hug. I started to feel tears silently make their way down my cheeks. "Shh, honey we'll be back here eventually, and we'll see everyone all the time. It's perfectly fine." she tried to console me. I sniffled and tried to regain composure. I can do this I told myself as we left my room and our perfect cabin.

Bella

I knew exactly how Renesme felt. I was leaving the only place I had ever known besides Phoenix. I would miss Charlie. I would miss this house. Angela. Ben. everyone that composed my life was here, but my heart and soul knew that I needed to leave for the safety of those most important to me; my family. I slowly walked to the main house with my daughter in tow. She was the most beautiful person I've ever seen. She reminds me so much of Edward. He would disagree with that and say she had my beauty, but that is unlikely. I heard my lullaby filling the forest around the main house as we approached. A smile played at my cheeks. 'I love you' I thought to myself as I pulled my shield away.

"And as do I, my Bella" Edward said as he continued to play. Renesme sat down next to Edward and they both began to play. Suddenly I saw her take her hands and press them to his neck. He smiled slightly and hugged her and kissed her on the forehead. "We will be fine, my girl. Everyone will love her."

'ah, she's still nervous about going to school in Alaska isn't she?' I thought. he just looked up and nodded slightly.

"Come on, my girls. Our family awaits." Edward said as he guided us to the dining room. Renesme went and sat next to Jake, who might as well as be part of our family. Everyone already thought of him that way, well except Rosalie. He slung his arm around Renesme and I heard Edward growl slightly. Things had been better between everyone now that I had perfected keeping my shield around Jake and his unending thoughts about our daughter, but I couldn't stop his actions.

"Edward, I thought you were getting ok with this?" I asked as I stopped and gazed into his liquid topaz eyes. He scowled slightly. Who knew someone could make a scowl so gorgeous?

"I'm trying. I think we need to tell her about the whole imprinting situation." he whispered in my ear as he bent over to engulf me in a hug. Oh what he did to me even with the smallest gestures.

"Bella, hurry come sit by me," was all I heard as I was dragged from my perfect husband towards the table, as my beautiful, yet annoyingly energetic sister guided me to the meeting. I shot Edward a glance 'Later we can talk. It's Jake's story to tell Edward.' He nodded slightly. I swear I could kill Alice for taking me from his arms.

Edward

I slowly joined my family at the table and waited for Carlisle to start. I sat down next to Jasper who was radiating calm and happy thoughts toward everyone to make the move easier, but I knew it was because he was excited that Alaska had less people and he didn't always have to be surrounded by humans. Alice and Bella were across from us, chatting absently about our new houses. I saw a shopping trip flash through Alice's head. 'Don't you dare warn Bella. I need to take her with me.' I smiled as Alice quickly death glared at me. No matter how much my wife professed her love to me, and blamed me for dazzling her into whatever I wanted, I knew that Alice could also get whatever she wanted from her Bella Barbie. Emmett and Rosalie had already left. They were going to be spending their few years in a town about an hour from our new houses. They were going under the pretense of newlyweds, but we knew we would see them regularly. I gazed over the the end of the table where my daughter sat. I loved to stare at her eyes, oh how she reminded me of her mother. Bella said she had my qualities, but all I saw when I looked at her was her mother's beauty and mannerisms from when she was human. In her thoughts, she was preoccupied with worries about going to school and not hanging out with Jacob all day. That dog and my daughter. She viewed him as her best friend, and for now I was ok with that; afraid of the day that she would potentially be his wife. I still couldn't understand why she was worried about school. She was incredibly smart, I'm sure she would do fine. 'Stop glaring at Jake Edward. I wish I was in your head as much as he is lately' I heard Bella yell at me in her head. "You are always there" I whispered, sure that she heard it I smiled at her. She caught her breath for a moment. I loved getting those reactions from her still. From the end of the table i heard 'I wonder if Seth will come to visit' my daughter said. I hoped so too. Seth has proven himself a loyal friend, and I was saddened to know that he wouldn't be hanging out at the house anymore. Carlisle finally began as Esme came to sit down next to him.

"Ok kids, today is the day" he began. "Edward, Bella, and Nessie, you'll be living in a cabin two driveways down from the main house. Alice, Jasper, Jake, myself, and Esme will be in the main house. We all know the drill. Nessie," Carlisle woke her from a silent reverie, "you are Bella's little sister, and they are taking care of you after your parents died." I loved the new stories we had. My little family got to function separate from our giant adopted family, but we were still close. It was perfect.

"Can we please leave now?" Alice impatiently whined. Never one for sad moments when shopping was to be had, Alice had planned on taking Bella and Nessie shopping while we set up the houses. They would meet us up there later tonight. We all slowly made our way to the driveway, saying quick goodbyes. Jake hugged Nessie. Inadvertently another growl left my throat. My beautiful Bella tucked herself in my arms. "Edward what am I going to do with you?" I laughed quietly. Behind her tiny smile I could see the pain in leaving her home, and it pained me so much. The goodbye with Charlie had been hard on her, even though we would visit regularly, she felt guilty. I gazed down into her beautiful face and kissed her, as if to prove that this was worth it. The thoughts in her head distracted me as she showed me what she wanted to happen. I smiled and broke the kiss. "You have some shopping to do," I replied. She looked up at me angrily. I would have to make it up to her later. 'Where is Seth?' I heard Nessie ask as she gazed around. Finally it struck me. My daughter didn't love Jacob. She loved Seth. Nessie squirmed out of Jake's hug and walked to get into the car. Bella gazed into my bugged eyes. "Edward what?" she looked worried. I was speechless. "Nothing my Bella. I will miss you. You will hurry home to me right?" She didn't look convinced. "You know I will. I love you" and with that I helped her into the car. 'Goodbye Seth' Nessie thought as she gazed out the window. She started playing pong in her head though as she stiffened when the thought ran through her head. 'Fuck, Dad' quickly flashed. I didn't look back at her and pretended to ignore it. I closed the door on Bella. "Alice lets go, shopping await" Bella said sarcastically. Alice grinned after gazing at Jasper and a quick goodbye. She stuck her tongue out at Bella, "now thats the spirit Bella." I kissed Nessie's head, and headed to my Volvo. Goodbye Forks.
