Bella's P.O.V

A few months had passed by after the Volturi came. I was pretty much adjusted to my new life now, as a vampire, yet I felt slightly guilty. Renee still hadn't known about my current condition, and soon I'd have to say goodbye to her. She would grow suspicious if I still looked like an 18 year old after 10 years.

And of course, there was Dartmouth. After I said that I'd go to Dartmouth with Edward, his face was so happy and exultant, it made my heart leap.

If it was still beating, that is.

We were packing up our bags for our move to New Hampshire. Carlisle was barely passing for his age already and Renesmee…well; let's just say she has the appearance of a six year old, after four months.

Edward was going about our little cottage, throwing our stuff into boxes. I was in the main bedroom, staring out the glass doors at the little hidden garden outside. The small round pond glinted in the morning sunlight. I'd miss this place. I dimly remembered that when I first got here I was unused to the green and once murmured in my sleep: "It's too green." I giggled softly when I remembered Edward telling me about that.

Suddenly I felt a pair of arms around me.

"What's the joke?" Edward murmured. I could hear the smile in his voice.

"Oh, nothing… Just remembered last time when I used to say it was too green here. Now, I think I'm going to miss this place a lot."

"We could come back in ninety years or so, and if Mike Newton's still alive, we could scare the crap out of him."

I rolled my eyes.

Esme P.O.V

I wonder what's taking those two lovebirds so long. If it's going to be a repeat of Emmett and Rosalie after their marriage, I wonder if I could stand it this time.

I hurried quickly to finish the remainder of the packing I had to do. I resented moving again, mostly because I think we always grew attached to the place we lived in. Here in Forks was a life changing moment. Edward had met Bella, I was just so happy he wasn't alone anymore, and they seemed so happy with each other…

Carlisle came in then, breaking my thoughts. I could see the black circles under his eyes which were flat, obsidian. I gave a little frustrated sigh and walked over to him.

"How long has it been since you hunted?"

"A while…"

I gave him a glare.

"Alright, alright… quite some time then. I still haven't packed finished all my books and medical equipment yet."

I gave him a small kiss on the lips. "Ah, my husband, always the workaholic…Sometimes I think you put your work before me. Now I want you to hunt. I'll finish your packing."

"Great, thank you." He turned and started walking out the door. Then, he turned and said, "I always put you before my work. Don't forget that." Before giving me a small smile and disappeared.

"Wait, Dad, I'll go with you!" I heard Emmett yell. Rosalie hissed. Emmett ran out the back door after Carlisle swiftly.

Rosalie P.O.V

"Emmett!" I growled.

Oh gosh. This was driving me nuts. He couldn't even do one thing right. Now he freaking ditched me with the packing.

I specifically told him to help me pack up some of my stuff and he blatantly ignored me. I wondered why I even loved him in the first place. Constantly pissing me off, that idiot!

I heard Alice playing with Renesmee downstairs. I decided to join, anything to give up packing for awhile. I walked swiftly towards the staircase. Pausing for awhile at the hall mirror, I tidied up my hair a bit, pinning it above my head. I was grateful I looked pretty, even though this life never provided me with the joys I wanted. I was glad Renesmee was here to fill the emptiness.

I recalled a few months ago, when Bella was pregnant with Renesmee. I knew everyone resented me for standing along side Bella at that time. Not allowing them to remove Renesmee from Bella.

If you wanted something that you knew you'd never have, that desperation just drives you nuts. I wanted a baby so bad. I just couldn't stand that Bella has what I wanted!

After her desperate phone call from Isle Esme, I felt a pang of jealously. This was like de ja vu, history of my human life repeating itself in my current life. I had a vision in my mind of Bella holding a baby, just like Vera had, many years before. Jealously had reared up like a venomous green snake.

But I had thought about it and I realised that even if I couldn't be the mom, I could at least be her aunt, and take care of the baby.

I shook myself out of my daze and quickly walked down the stairs and went to where Renesmee and Alice were reading from a book. Renesmee looked up; her face broke into a wide smile and said: "Aunt Rosalie! Come here, I want to read to you this book! It's so interesting!"

I smiled back as brightly as I could. Alice gave me a small grin.

"You haven't been smiling this much before Nessie was born."

"She's changed a lot of me."

"She's changed all of us."

"Yes."

"I'll have to go finish my packing. Have fun, you two!" Alice bounded up the stairs.

Renesmee quickly drew my attention to the book she was reading. I listened intently…

Edward P.O.V

"ALICE IS HORRIBLE!"

We're just packing the closet. The bloody thing was bigger than our room! And filled to the brim with clothes, mostly Bella's, Alice did not bother to dress me up, because I, in her opinion, was "boring".

"I can't believe what Alice has done! This is like the nightmare of my darkest dreams." Bella stood up, surveying the room, hands on her hips.

"True. If you can even have dreams, that is."

We had filled about ten boxes so far, and that was only half of the total amount of items in the closet.

"You don't seem affected so much because most of it isn't even your clothes," she scowled. Even when she scowled, she still looked extremely beautiful. She was practically made for this vampire world.

"I am so bored. Let's go hunt." She said with excitement in her eyes, which was a dull dark colour.

"I don't know." I put up my hands in mock horror at the piles of clothes yet to be packed.

"Aw, come on… The movers don't come till night. We still got plenty of time. What with our super speed and all."

"Fine." I gave her a huge grin. She paused for a second, and then smiled back. If she could blush, I suspect she'd be red by now. In the lovely shade of pink I loved best.

She took my hand in hers and grinning wider, we ran out the front door.

At night…

Jacob P.O.V

To be honest, I really didn't want to leave this place. I saw the pain in Billy's eyes just now, when I told him goodbye. But Nessie was my whole life now, I couldn't leave her.

Seth had been begging to come along but I wouldn't let him. This would be a rash decision for him. Even though I didn't want to break up my pack like this, I hadn't had much of a choice. I didn't choose to imprint Nessie in the first place.

Leah had been extremely happy after hearing the news that the Cullens were leaving but she wasn't too happy about me following them.

I laid my head in my hands.

I smelled Nessie's scent and I knew she was approaching me, so I sat up straight and tried to look like nothing had been bothering me.

She climbed into my lap and placed her hand on my cheek, immediately an image of me frowning earlier appeared in my head, it was coloured by a sense of worry.

"I'm fine. I'm just worried about some things that I haven't done yet." I flashed to her the biggest grin I could possibly give. I could only concentrate on making her happy. It was practically all I had to live for.

She smiled and nodded her head before laying it on my shoulder.

I saw Bella and Edward come from the direction of their cottage. Bella was carrying like, ten boxes in her one hand or something, and the other was holding a suitcase.

Edward was carrying more boxes in both hands.

I balked; all that junk had fit into their house! What the hell? Was there a dungeon under there that I didn't know?

Bella breezed in, Edward close behind her. After placing the boxes and suitcase on the floor she came over to me to pick Nessie up and hug her to her chest.

"Jacob, do you really want to do this? You can always change your mind." She eyed my suitcase, which was placed along with all the other Cullens suitcases.

"I told you before Bella, I am staying wherever Nessie's at. Besides, you did say before that without me your family seems like its incomplete." I grinned.

"You sure Billy won't mind?"

"Chill, Bella. I told him I'd visit."

She nodded before turning to talk to Esme.

Edward walked up to me. I no longer flinched back from his smell any more, I had gotten used to their scent during the period of time I had to stay among them to protect Bella. It still baffled me that I treat them like my family.

"Sure you won't miss your dog pals?"

Duh, I would miss them of course, but to be separated from Nessie was an even bigger torture.

"I understand. I think no force on this Earth could separate you from Nessie. Somewhat like how I cannot be separated from Bella."

"Guess that's about right."

Bella P.O.V

"I think they're about to arrive in 5 minutes." Esme said when I asked her about the movers.

I nodded and turned around. The house now seemed so desolate, so quiet. White cloths covered almost every inch of the furniture that we didn't bring with us. It reminded me of the time I had to go to my grandmother's house after she died. The feeling of emptiness lingered in the air.

I glanced at the couch. I remembered the time when I was pregnant with Renesmee, those times seemed so far away, seen through the dim eyesight of humanity.

I broke out of my reverie when I heard the sound of a truck in the driveway. Rosalie walked swiftly to open the door. I heard gasps as the movers took in the always beautiful and enchanting Rosalie. Edward smirked in the corner.

"Seriously, Emmett, do you want to smack some of them? You won't be too happy with what's going through their minds right now."

Emmett flexed his arms menacingly. "Bring it on."

I rolled my eyes. Emmett was always up for a challenge.

The movers walked in then. I could see different emotions race across their faces.

Awe. Shock. Disbelief.

I could hear their heart beginning to race. I knew how they felt, the feeling that this was all a dream. Everyone felt like that when they met the Cullens, the amazing beautiful family that seemed like they shouldn't even exist in the real world.

Esme was all business as she walked up to them. "Okay, I need you to move the TV and those few cupboards over there, along with those boxes."

They flinched as they snapped back to reality and quickly moved to pick up the items.

One of the movers kept persistently staring at me. Edward snarled silently. That guy's eyes glanced at Edward's face and quickly looked down.

I couldn't even bear to think about what that guy was thinking.

"Let's go to the garage." Edward placed a hand on my back and pushed me forward. I clutched Renesmee tighter in my arms and walked out. When we were there, I looked at the large amounts of blank space; almost all the cars had already been sent to New Hampshire.

We waited there patiently for the rest of the family. It was no longer than 10 minutes when they finally came.

"Let's go." Emmett said, with obvious enthusiasm.

When we were in the Jeep, I glanced over my shoulder as our house became smaller and smaller. I felt a pang of sadness, and had to control myself before I started crying, well… dry sobbing. I couldn't really produce any tears. Jasper must have sensed my mood, and immediately, a sense of serenity filled the car.

"Jasper…" Edward said with an exasperated tone.

"What? I just don't want her freaking out right now."

I did not really pay attention to their conversation as the car sped along the freeway. It was time to move on, to a new future, in a new place…
