100 years post breaking dawn

A little catch up info: Nessie and Jacob are married, Nessie was "fully developed" by age 9 or somewhere around that point, but looked about the age 16-17 ish. I thought it would be really weird if she looked the same age as Bella… The family has moved back to Forks, they have enrolled into high school; Nessie and Jacob are sophomores, Bella, Edward, and Alice are juniors, Jasper, Rose, and Emmett are seniors. Jasper and Rosalie are supposedly Carlisle's niece and nephew, Edward and Nessie are related to Esme somehow. Alice, Emmett, Bella and Jacob are both foster kids. That's their story. They say that they originally lived in Island City, Oregon. They all live in the same big white house that they did before, but the cottage and everything is still there. The original wolves – except for Jacob and Seth (who visited a lot, Leah stayed away long enough to grow out of the wolf thing). They're already enrolled in school, it's the first day. Bella is able to expand her shield easily now. I'm starting once they get into the school parking lot. Enjoy =]

Bella POV:

I turned to open the door of Edward's car, but he was already there, opening it for me and holding out a hand. A hundred years ago I might have told him to be careful, the humans might see, but now I knew better. Humans were very slow and they wouldn't notice. I smiled as I remembered when I'd been the exception to that rule.

I took his hand and let him pull me up. He kissed my cheek and put an arm around my waist, "Ready for this?" he whispered in my ear. I laughed a little, and turned to see his perfect face inches away from mine.

"Not even close," I said back.

"Momma," Nessie skipped over to me and tugged on my shirt. "Let's go, Alice says the bell is going to ring in exactly thirty seconds."

I rolled my eyes. Renesmee never ceased to be entertained by Alice's foresight, though it'd been a hundred years. "You sure, Ness? Exactly thirty seconds?"

"Well not now, since you've decided to go on and say something else. Now it's about seventeen." She grabbed Jacob's hand – who had been standing behind her, looking at the school. "Let's go, Jake!" she pulled him alongside her towards the building.

I looked behind me to see the rest of my family standing there, Alice and Jasper, Rose and Emmett. I looked back to Edward and took a deep breath. "Ready," I said with a smile.

We all walked into the cozy main office, which hadn't changed dramatically since we'd graduated the last time. There were new computers, some new posters that hadn't been there before, but other than that and the staff, not much had changed.

Nessie was already talking to the secretary, who was eyeing Jacob's size with wide eyes. He turned to me and winked, clearly pleased by her reaction. I saw Renesmee elbow him in the gut before he could turn around. Edward chuckled and let the rest of the family file into the tiny room.

"… and here they are now, this is the rest of the family. Are those our schedules there? Oh thanks, that's fantastic. Now, I was wondering what extracurricular activities the school had? Is there a dance class, because I really love ballet, and Jacob here is really into working on cars, our last school had a garage for him to work in."

"Uh, uh, yes, we have both of those things. They aren't very big programs, I'm afraid, small school small amount of kids to join, you know?" the lady behind the glasses said with a wave of her hand.

"Brilliant! Thank you so much, I'll just take those there…" the woman handed a stack of folders to Nessie, "Thanks, and we'll be off to class," She began to turn but stopped and turned back to the woman, "Do we need passes or anything?"

"Oh yes, how many do you need? One, two… eight! Quite the group you have here. I wish everyone had the same big family values that Dr. Cullen and Mrs. Cullen seem to be keeping." I smiled at the woman as she caught my eye. I kept my mouth shut though, not to expose any teeth.

"Yeah, they're big on old fashioned values. But we have fun, thanks again!" Nessie said impatiently as she waited for the stack of small papers that the woman handed off. She was always like this when we started at a new school, but she was especially excited to be back home. She'd missed the big white house, and the small cozy town. But the way she was acting you might think she had ADHD.

"Let's go, Nessie." Edward said quietly.

"Coming, Edward," she smiled at the chance to call her dad by his first name. He rolled her eyes but grinned, he knew that she didn't mean it disrespectfully. At home, she still called him "daddy".

We all piled out the door, Alice and Jasper were already waiting for us. Emmett lagged behind a little to put an arm around his niece. "So, Ness, could you have talked to human's ear off anymore?"

"Hah hah, Uncle Em, very funny,"

"Shh, they might hear us," Rosalie said, nodding her head toward the crowd of students ahead of us. Nessie ignored her and shrugged herself out from under Emmett's arm and went around handing out papers. "Grandpa said that he specifically asked for us to be in classes together, if we're not, we can always change them. So here we go!"

I took mine and Edward's, passing his off to him while I opened mine. English 11, Biology, Trigonometry, Shakespeare workshop, AP World History, French… I looked over at Edward's folder, he was already bending his head over mine. It looked like we had all of our classes together, apart from the Shakespeare workshop. I beamed up at him. "Carlisle did good,"

"I'll have to thank him," he said as he bent down to kiss my lips sweetly, a smile pulling up at the corners.

"Ew, get a room. No one wants to see that," Jacob complained, pushing through the two of us. Edward growled a little, but Jake turned back around and grinned. "Just kidding, man, Carry on," He made a show of becoming a soldier and saluting. "I'm off to Algebra two with my adorable little hybrid wife, wish me luck." He grabbed Nessie's hand and ran off, with her giggling the whole way.

"Bella, what do you have first?" Alice danced up to me and took my arm, giving her a view of my papers. She mumbled quietly to herself and then looked up, "We have French together!" she squealed and flitted up to Jasper, "I wish you'd taken French. Why did you have to take German again?"

He laughed and brushed her hair aside, "Because I've taken French at least a dozen times, I needed something new."

Edward and I broke off from the rest of the group towards the English wing hand in hand, and then I began to notice it. The stares, just like all the other schools, everyone was checking out the new kids. Their eyes bugged wide and they didn't even try to hide their gawking. I leaned closer to Edward, "Here we go,"

He growled, "Honestly, the more time passes, the more vulgar the male mind becomes."

"That bad?"

He usually didn't say much about the less than conservative minds of teenage boys, other than a growl or a hiss and sometimes a wince, he ignored it and focused on something else. He shook his head. "They're the same as usual, but it's just that there are so many of them!"

I laughed and stroked his arm with my free hand, "Don't worry, just think about something else. We're together all day, time will pass quickly."

"Remind me again why we're even pretending to be in high school?"

"I'm pretty sure it has something to do with staying inconspicuous."

"Right, drat." We laughed and walked through the doorway to our first class. Eyes followed us, and I could hear the whispers without trying. It was all very familiar to me, after all this time. It was the same everywhere we went.

"Who are they?"

"They're so perfect…"

"That guy is… whoah… no I'm not gay, Deran!"

"What's their name?"

"Where'd they come from?"

"I think they moved here from Tennessee,"

"I heard my mom talking to one of the other nurses and they said that there's a new doctor in town with a ton of kids, maybe they're some of them."

And then there were the comments that no one needed to hear, the ones that Edward told me were nowhere near as specific as their minds were. I swallowed a growl as I heard girls in the back corner begin to gossip about my husband in ways that made me very uncomfortable.

"You must be… Edward Cullen? And… Bella Swan. Yes, no?" we just nodded, "Welcome to English Eleven, My name is Mr. Robinson, I have a course prospectus right here ready for you… there we go. And I've taken a look at the comments from your last teacher in Island City, and I think you'll do just fine in this class. We're just finishing up To Kill a Mockingbird, so you won't have to read that. They'll be having the test next class and today we'll be reviewing, so if you two would like to find your seats and take out a book or something to do, that's fine with me."

"Thank you, Mr. Robinson," Edward said and towed me to the back of the class. We took to seats and moved them silently closer together. "So, what shall we do to pass the time," Edward whispered so low that only a vampire could hear it.

"I don't know… would you like to tell me the story again?" I grinned impishly, he rolled his eyes.

"Again?"

I nodded, I'd never get tired of hearing our story, the one of how we fell in love and everything that followed. There was always a new chapter to add, so it never, ever got old.

"If that's what you want…" and so he began.

The bell rang barely before he'd gotten to our encounter in Port Angeles. He put in so much more, what he'd been thinking right at that moment, and then I'd have to tell him exactly what I'd been thinking, and then we'd go on about that for a few more minutes… it took so long to tell the story. I didn't mind that one bit.
