As Bella ran through the forest alongside her husband, she remembered that this time last year, Edward was in Brazil, and she was being hunted by Victoria. Victoria was a vampire whose mate tried to kill Bella. Edward had killed him and Victoria was seeking to kill Bella to avenge his death. Bella had not cared whether she lived or died. The only joy she felt was when she did something reckless and heard Edward's voice pleading with her to stop. She woke up every morning and went through the motions of her life. Part of her died the moment Edward left her. He said it would be as if he had never existed. He was so wrong. Everything reminded her of him. It would have been so much easier if he had only left her with some small token of his existence. Instead, she searched for something of him. The way the sunlight glistened on the leaves after it had rained reminded her of the way the sunlight glistened off of Edward's skin. The sound of the birds and the river reminded her of when they ran together in the forest. She kept having nightmares that he was dying and she was too late to save him. So much had happened in a year. Victoria was dead, she had married Edward and given birth to their child. She had almost died giving birth and Edward had changed her into a vampire in order to save her life. Now they were going to ensure that their daughter, Renesmee would live forever.

Renesmee was currently riding on her father's shoulders as he ran through the forest. Her hands covered his eyes, so that he saw where he was going through her thoughts. This was a game they played often. By touching someone, Renesnee can put her thoughts in their mind. Her father, on the other hand is a mind reader. He can read everyone's thoughts, but Bella's.

They were on their way to the Cullen's house to meet up with the rest of the family. This morning they were leaving for London.

"Why do we have to take all these clothes if we are going shopping to buy new ones?" grumbled Jasper as he carried two large suitcases down the main staircase of the Cullen's house.

"I want to be prepared in case I am wrong about the weather," replied Alice. "I want everything to be perfect for Nessie's big day."

"You worry too much." "Even if something goes wrong, she will still look pretty," said Jasper as he set the suitcases by the front door.

"But will you?" "I want you to look perfect too," said Alice.

"I thought I always looked perfect to you," retorted Jasper as he picked her up in his arms and swung her around before pressing her against the front door and giving her a kiss.

He sat her down on the floor and turned around as he heard the back door close. Nessie ran into the room followed by her parents.

"Hope we didn't interrupt anything," said Edward.

"You know you didn't," replied Jasper as he picked up the suitcases, opened the front door and carried them out to Carlisle's black Mercedes and put them in the trunk.

Alice gave the little girl a big hug as Bella entered the room.

When Jasper re-entered the house, he had to work on maintaining his control. He just could not get used to seeing the new Bella. He had trouble not killing Bella when she was human, but he had never been attracted to her. Vampire Bella looked like an angel with her alabaster skin and long dark hair. Now he could understand his brother's obsession with her. So far Alice had not "seen" any problems developing from his infatuation with Bella.

"Easy Bro, she's my wife, I wouldn't want to have to kill you." Edward's quiet voice seemed to come out of no where. Jasper had been so busy watching Bella, he had not noticed Edward standing behind him.

"It would be by her choice and what makes you think you would win, little brother?" replied Jasper. "I can pleasure her in ways you could not imagine, and as for reading my thoughts, if need be, I will simply think about something else like Alice does," said Jasper.

"Let's hope you can control yourself and we never have to find out," said Edward.

"She does have a certain je ne sais quoi, said Jasper. He was pleased that he remembered the French phrase to describe her newfound beauty and poise.

"That she does," agreed Edward.

"Where are your suitcases?" inquired Alice as she walked over and put her arm around Jasper's waist.

"Edward put them in the car before we came inside," replied Bella as she approached Alice.

"I do hope Rosalie brings all of the things I told her we would need," said Alice. "Sometimes, she gets so caught up in her own life, she forgets things she promised to do. "Bella, you did get the passports for Jacob, Seth and Leah from Mr. Jenks?" asked Alice.

"Of course I did, now stop worrying. Everything is going to be fine," said Bella.

"Jacob will have Seth and Leah at the airport at 9:00 this morning, and yes I packed everything on your list, Alice," Rosalie retorted as she walked into the room trailed by Emmett.

"And I packed some things not on your list," laughed Emmett as he picked Nessie up and swung her up over his head.

Carlisle and Esme strolled down the long staircase arm in arm. "Well it looks like we are ready to depart," said Carlisle. "Emmett, you and Rose go with Edward and Bella. I want to discuss some security issues with Jasper on the way to the airport.
