devoted-everlasting.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=seattle&action=display&thread=223&page=1The ride home had been sort of quiet as they held one another's hands driving to get home. It had been such a long 2 and a half weeks without Renesmee. She loved their time on the island, and the moments they shared...but now being home was where she wanted to be. Hoping to get home to great news from Alice and Jasper about their "teen-sitting" adventure. So much had happened she was sure of it. Renesmee wasn't trouble-some...well, not on purpose. She looked to Edward and gave him a smile. "The island was simply wonderful, I want you to know that....and I had an amazing time with you." Leaning her head against the head rest as she kept his eyes locked to hers. Their little piece of heaven in Croatia would always be there...but to be going home...where her family was....that was also heavenly.

At moments like this Edward enjoyed the silence from all others, the ability that was bestowed upon him when he became a vampire. The silence would all soon be over as they continued their journey back to Forks. A piece of heaven behind them, a piece of heaven ahead of them as he openly anticipated their arrival as they returned home to their family and their daughter Renesmee. Something that had been on his mind and he knew would be on Bella's mind also. He knew something was on her mind after her phone call with Alice, but after he questioned her she shrugged it of as girl things and as much as he tried to break through her shield, he was many times unsuccessful.
As he turned to smile at her as she reminisced about the two long and a half glorious weeks with him as she gleamed about her enjoyment as Isle Swan.
"These two and a half weeks have best the best time of my life.....well in the top ten Bella *he raised her hand to his lips and placed a soft kiss upon it*
He watched as an infectious smile crept across her pale face as he tried to think of what would have happened in their absence with Renesmee. Fighting back to hold a grin as he thought about what Alice and Jasper would have had to handle.

They were minutes away from the highway that led to their home. "I hope Charlie didn't worry when we left, you know...since the last time that happened..." She gave him a wink as he smiled. Turning to look at the road as she looked down at her hand holding his and gently rubbed his skin with her thumb, absentmindedly thinking of her talk with Alice, before breaking her silence. "I think...something may have....happened. While we were gone I mean. With Nessie." She looked up and turned her head to face him. "Alice sounded...off." She shrugged. "Or I could be over reacting." Letting out a sigh before smiling and continuing.
"I guess I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop, you know since we seem to have the worst of luck when we leave town." Laughing a bit as she tilted her head to him. "Are you worried?" She asked as he turned onto the highway. They'd soon be home and soon they'd know what was going on. There was a howl in the distance and she smiled as she realized she'd missed Forks. Even the wolves. Looking back to Edward as she awaited his answer, she counted the minutes before she'd see her family.

As they continued to drive after turning onto the highway into their last stretch before they would enter the town of Forks....Home. As much as he loved their time away, home is where the heart lies and Forks was home to him in more ways that could imagine. A chapter to his life had begun here and it was a chapter in his life that would continue for eternity.
"I had Alice look at the outcomes of what Charlie would say when and if he found out...Everything would have been fine...Trust me" he sent a comforting smile towards her knowing that the speculation of what Charlie would have thought considering their last trip out of town resulted in her emergency vamperism and the birth of their daughter that they had to keep hidden from her in the beginning.
Was he worried? He constantly worried about Renesmee, he had seen how much she had changed in these last few months, she had grown up to that of a mature teenager.
"I am sure Alice and Jasper were absolutely fine....If there was anyone i would trust with our daughter, it would be Alice....If anything i would be more worried about what Nessie subjected Jasper to" *he chuckled lightly* "I always worry about Renesmee...Yes....But i know that everything will be alright"
As he continued to drive as the sign to Forks was coming into view as they entered and they were home. The sound of a wolf howling filled his ears as he remembered to who that howl belonged too. Jacob.

It was a way of welcoming them home, his howl as he ran through the forest. She nodded and took an unneeded breath. As he turned down the long winding drive that led to the house she shifted in her seat anticipating seeing the family. Rose and Emmett would be there, as she heard they were taking a break from the island clinic. She wondered if Charlie would be there or if he knew she was back. Tightening her grip on his hand with three squeezes, their secret way of saying I-Love-You she waited to see the house. As he drove further in she saw the russet fur of Jacob and smiled out the window. Seth and Leah at his flanks as they ran. She turned to Edward and smiled again, shaking her head. "I guess they're welcoming us home.
As the trees cleared and the house came into view she smiled wider as she saw the family all standing outside waiting. Alice...she thought. As Edward parked she hopped out of the car as Renesmee ran into her arms. "Oh, sweetheart I missed you so much!" She said as she hugged her daughter tight but remembered her strength. Renesmee laughed. "I missed you too, mama." Bella closed her eyes and smiled as she hugged her daughter again. Pulling away from her as she saw her father she smiled and ran to give him a hug. Bella watched, then turned to the family with a smile. "I missed you all so much. But...it was so beautiful. I'm sure you all know, right?" Esme smiled and nodded, Carlisle chuckled. Alice stood there with her pixie like grin nodding as Jasper just grinned. Rose and Emmett emerged from the house as Emmett picked her up and spun around. "Hey little sis! Had fun breaking things?" After he set her down she laughed and shook her head. "I can have just as much fun not breaking a thing, because I have self control and all." She picked at him. Making her way around the family hugging and greeting them. Finally hugging Alice and whispering in her ear. "Was it bad?" Alice chuckled. "Well...." Alice looked to Jasper and grinned. "It was interesting."

He grinned as he heard the howl of Jacob as his thoughts flooded his mind, it had made him wince slightly as he was unprepared for the flood gates to open as many thoughts flushed through his mind. Complete solidarity with Bella had been easy with her as he was able to keep his mind empty from the impounding thoughts that always circulated between one another. As they drove up the drive way as the house became clearer as he saw Seth and Leah followed by Jacob come into view as he silently welcomed their return to which he nodded to him as he grinned as Jacob tried to hide his thoughts from him. He caught flashes of him and their daughter in a compromising position which he quickly blocked out from seeing. As Bella tightened her grip on his hand to send their own private way of saying *I love you*. As he halted the car to a stop and turned to smile at Bella one last time before she exited the car as he watched as Renesmee ran into her arms and Nessie's smile brightened as he stepped out from the car.
As she ran into his arms, he wrapped them around her and kissed the top of her head as he whispered in her ear.
"I have missed you sweetheart" as he kissed her forehead once again.
"I missed you too daddy" she gleamed back at him.
As Bella was passed between Emmett and then onto Alice and watched as she welcomed home her sister as he noticed that Alice probed at him as she called out to him. Once she had his attention she let everything flood out at him, catching Renesmee and Jacob in a position that he did not want too see in a way, and the talk that Alice and she had whilst out shopping had sent shivers down his spine...it was time. This was something he knew was coming, but had never intended it too be so soon.

Bella watched as Edward's face contorted, and he clenched his jaw. Looking back to Alice as she focused, obviously sending him mental images as she wondered what happened. "If you'll all excuse us, we're going to unpack then come back. Renesmee, will you come help me?" She asked as she took her hand into hers heading for the cabin. By the look on her face, something happened with Ness and Jake she just KNEW it.
As they arrived to their quiet cabin, they took a seat on the sofa and looked at Renesmee as she sat on the chaise lounge. She opened her mind to Edward, mentally asking how they should start. He nodded to her and whispered in her ear "Just, do what you feel."
Looking back to Renesmee she began. "Renesmee, you're becoming a beautiful young woman and....I think it's time we talk about something. I know you love Jake. I know you are trustworthy, but I need to know. Are you being....safe?" She used the words Charlie used they seemed to be comforting.

-her heart wouldn't stop racing. Trouble, she was in so much freaking trouble. When her Mama pulled her towards their house, she literally thought it was going to leap out of her chest-
-a light blush crossed her cheeks as she looked to her Mom, then Dad, then back to the ground and mumbled- Yes. I don't want to do this. -started to pace the room, picking at her nails and wondering if she was quick enough to get out of the room before they caught her-

Edward began to take over, sensing everyone's nervousness. Especially the uneasy thoughts coming from his daughter. Her heart beat was fast, but not that fast. The color in her cheeks showed her embarrassment at what was happening. He took Bella's hand into his and started, the only way he knew how. The same way his father had explained to him when he turned fifteen.
"When there is a boy/man and a girl/woman who love each other and want to express that love they...." He stopped short as Renesmee's thoughts began to race as he watched them like a movie.
-OMG, Jacob without a shirt, his kisses always make me tingle...wonder what he'd look like naked-[/b]
He cleared his throat and closed his eyes shaking the thoughts from his head as he became tongue tied. "You see they, uh....*clears throat* Well, they...Bella....Love?"
He mumbled as he pinched the bridge of his nose, seeing this conversation not going as planned.

Bella stopped speaking as Edward seemed to chime in, Renesmee not wanting to have this conversation and she knew the feeling. When Charlie approached the subject with her, it was highly awkward and embarrassing....but also made her realize that's the human experience she did want to have before becoming a vampire. Renesmee wasn't on a time limit so maybe that wouldn't happen with her. She technically only be five in a little over a week...but had the mind and body of what appeared to be a seventeen year old woman. She was catching up to Jacob at record speed. She listened as Edward began, then choked up and seemed a bit...stuck. He looked to her for help. "Bella....love?"
She looked back to Renesmee. "Sex, we want to talk to you about Sex. Now before you start...If you are having sex, it's fine we trust you I just want to be sure you're being careful. That's all. We want to make sure you both are using your head. "

MOM! -she glared at the both of them, arms crossed over her chest- I'm not stupid. Okay? -threw her hands up in the air and let out an exasperated sigh. They didn't understand. NO ONE understood, not at all. She loved Jake, more than anything in the world. He was what completed her. And if she wanted to have sex with him, then she would. But she didn't need to TALK about it!-
I know all about sex, okay? I mean, uncle Em isn't very quiet about the matter. He likes trying to embarrass me and Jake. I'm not going to do anything stupid. But I'm also NOT talking to you guys on the matter. Case closed, end of story. Okay? -stared at the two of them, shooting lasers with her eyes and wishing they would both burst into flames to save her from further torture-

"There is no need to get upset, sweetheart. Your mother and I just want what's best for you. We respect your decisions. We trust you. But there is really no reason we cannot discuss this. Carlisle and I are unsure if you can....reproduce. Given what happened with your mother and I, sometimes you just never can be sure. All we want is for you to become a mother if and when you're actually ready. Not because of something out of your control."
He gave his heartfelt peace and stood, making his way to his daughter and hugging her. He kissed her forehead and leaned down by her ear. "I think your mother deserves an apology for yelling. I'll leave you to it."
Silently he walked into the bedroom to unpack their luggage leaving his girls to have a talk. They'd researched for months, years even. No evidence of another female hybrid, so it was unclear if they could reproduce. But the fact that Jacob imprinted on her, made him somewhat leery that in fact she could. And if she reproduced with an Alpha wolf, it would be one hell of a hybrid child, who KNEW what that would be like.

She watched her daughter get upset and begin to yell as she looked down, realizing she'd upset her and didn't mean to. Edward started to speak again as she listened and looked up when he stood and went to Renesmee. She heard what he said and smiled. As he left the room she looked at her daughter and patted the seat next to her.
"I didn't mean to upset you. I just want you to know you CAN talk to us about these things. You know grandpa Charlie did the same to me when I was dating your dad. I had to tell him...that I was still a virgin." Bella chuckled at the memory and shook her head, continuing. "It was awkward to say the least...but yeah. It's just a parents thing. We worry, and now I understand why he did. I hope you can too."

-mumbled under her breath, even though it wasn't heartfelt- Sorry.
-when she heard her mothers words, she sighed and looked up at her- Look, mom. I can't believe I'm saying it, but I am a virgin, okay? And I plan on staying that way, at least for a while. Yes, we might.... -she blushed more and looked at the floor, hair hiding her face- We might fool around some, but he's not pressuring me and....-looked up at her and smirked- I'm not pressuring him, either. That is one trait I didn't inherit from you.
-took another deep breath, her stomach growling slightly as she looked back at her mom- I'm going to go eat. I'll be back later, okay? Don't worry about me, Mom. I promise, I'm fine. -walked over and wrapped her arms around her and kissed her cheek- I love you.

Bella laughed and knew she'd never live THAT down. Of coarse, Emmett had to mention THAT in front of her daughter. Now she held it over her like a constant reminder of how she once tried to steal Edward's virtue by way of seduction. Shaking her head at her and sighing. "Renesmee, I'm glad to hear that, I am." She rolled her eyes. "But you're going to need another snarky comment because that one my butterfly is getting old."
She watched as she left and looked down and scoffed. Parenthood was hard....really hard. She quietly wondered if she'd given her parents this much trouble.
