A/N: This one came to me out of the blue. I wondered at how the overprotective Cullens would react when sweet little Nessie would bring this up.

Let me know your thoughts! Tell me if there are any characters I didn't really get right. I'm trying to write stuff about the other Cullens.

"Mommy, Daddy, where do babies come from?"

At that moment, time for the Cullens flew to a stop. Edward looked up from the newspaper he was reading and froze completely as he seemed to grow even paler. Bella clasped a hand to her mouth and looked at her daughter in despair. Carlisle was in the middle of calling someone when his mouth hung open. Esme was slicing carrots for a salad and her hand hung frozen in midair. Emmett and Rosalie stared at Renesmee from the loveseat, Rosalie looking livid and Emmett looking plain blank. Jasper, who was impossible to distract while reading, glanced from Nessie to her parents with a dumbfounded look. Alice's head popped up from behind the computer and glanced at the whole scene with her mouth agape.

"What?", Renesmee asked innocently. "I think I'm old enough to know. And don't tell me that they're delivered by the stork". She hissed slightly.

It was true. Though she was technically only one and a half years old, Nessie already resembled a 17-year old teenager. Bella and Edward were adamant when it came to discussing these things with their daughter.

"B-baby... I-I- um...", Bella dropped off and buried her face in his hands. She never did have this talk with Renee or Charlie. One day she snuck into Renee's room and caught her watching an R-rated movie and the question had been solved. "Carlisle?"

Carlisle snapped his phone shut and pondered. "Well Nessie...", he walked over to her and sat beside her on the couch. "You came from you mother. You grew inside her stomach."

"I know that. I was just wondering how I got there."

"Oh!", Bella got up from her seat and started fanning herself. "Jasper, Jasper, Jasper!"

Jasper bit back a laugh as he walked over to Bella and sent her calming emotions.

Carlisle exhaled deeply. "You are old enough." He looked at Edward, who was so still someone could have painted a portrait of him, and Bella who might collapse if Jasper let go of her.

"When a man and a woman love each other very much, just like your dad and mom love each other, they..."

"... Have sex?", Renesmee's eyes were as innocent as ever.

Bella collapsed and Jasper caught her. Rosalie gripped the loveseat so hard it started to crumble. Emmett looked a little amused.

"Where did you hear about that, Nessie?", he asked. Rosalie whacked him on the head.

"From Mom and Dad."

Edward's head turned sharply toward Nessie. "I didn't-... We-we never-"

"And from Grandma and Grandpa. And Uncle Emmett and Aunt Rosalie. And Uncle Jasper and Aunt Alice."

Truth dawned on Edward and he went to Jasper and Bella. "Calm. Me. Now."

"Oh God, Renesmee. Are you saying you saw-...", Bella looked like she could have puked.

"I didn't see... I mean I heard-...", Esme gasped. "I went away before anything... happened. I figured it was something private. I'm practically seventeen, you know. You can't protect me from these things forever..."

There was no other sound in the Cullen household other than the ants crawling under the floor. Everyone practically jumped when it rained suddenly.

"Was it scary?", Emmett whispered. Rosalie hissed and hit Emmett with her lethal elbow jab.

"No... What I saw... I saw how much you all loved each other... and it was kind of sweet."

The mood of the house calmed slightly.

"And I do have Sex Ed class, you know.", Renesmee blurted out to prevent another painful silence.

Carlisle sighed. "You're right, Nessie. You are old and mature enough." He glanced at Edward and Bella. "Maybe it is about time you learn about these things."

Edward closed his eyes shut and nodded sharply. Bella put a hand to her chest and mumbled something which sounded like approval.

Renesmee beamed. "You can trust me with these things... And um...", she blushed. "There were these other things I was wondering about... I didn't really think that you'd like me saying them so I wrote it down."

She took out a crumpled piece of paper and walked toward her parents. She shyly handed the paper to Edward, who uncrumpled it. Bella peered at it from behind his shoulder.

They both yelled at the same time.

"JASPER!!"
