A/N: I'd like to thank everyone that has decided to take the time to read this story. It's my first (yay!) and I'm very excited about that. It's going to switch off between a few different points of view throughout, so hopefully it won't get too confusing. This is my reimagining of what would've happened if Bella and Edward hadn't returned to Forks after the pregnancy fiasco. I hope I don't disappoint. Story title comes from The Beatles. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or any of these characters. I'm just borrowing them from Stephenie Meyer to have a bit of fun.
Chapter 1:
BPOV
"C'mon, Bells, please! I think it's a great idea. I talk about her all the time. Folks are starting to think she's not real... It looks more suspicious keeping her away all the time."
"I don't know, Dad. I'll think about it, but I'm not making any promises."
"Bella, she's seventeen now. I've waited a long time to show off my grandchild. I hate to say this, but I'm getting old. Who knows how long I've got left with her..." Leave it to Charlie to play the aging grandpa card now.
"Look, I'll talk to Edward about it and call you tomorrow, okay? Say hi to Sue for me. I love you."
"Love you, too, kiddo."
I sighed as I hung up my phone, and immediately felt a strong pair of arms wrap around my waist.
"Maybe we should let her," Edward said softly.
"Are you sure?" I asked as I spun around to face my eternally stunning husband. "I don't feel comfortable being away..."
Edward laughed heartily at that. "We won't be far, my love. She'll stay with Charlie and we'll stay in the old house. Or perhaps the cottage, if you prefer. It's a five minute run."
I couldn't argue with his logic. "Fine. I guess we're spending the summer in Forks."
I heard a squeal from upstairs, followed by quick footsteps and wasn't surprised to discover my daughter had been listening. Renesmee's arms we're around me a second later.
"Thank you so much, guys! This is going to be incredible. A whole summer with Grandpa Swan!" She hugged Edward next, and he grinned.
"Now, Renesmee, I know you're excited, but we've got to go over the rules. First of all," Edward began to lecture, but she cut him off quickly.
"I know, I know, Dad. We've been in Alaska, you and Mom wanted to make it but work wouldn't allow, if I get sick of food I'm only allowed to hunt animals, and all of us are ordinary humans. It's not a problem."
"I suppose it's settled, then. We'll need to get you some new clothes for the rain, so I'm sure your Aunt Alice will be calling in a moment."
Sure enough, Renesmee's phone began ringing before he could finish his sentence. She took off for her room, and I turned to smile at Edward.
"We're really going home, aren't we?"
"You should call Charlie. He'll be happy to see his girls." I placed a quick kiss on his lips, and dialed my father's number. He answered on the first ring.
"You came to a decision that fast, huh?"
"Yes, Dad. Looks like you're going to have to set up my old room. You have a week."
"You won't regret this, Bells. It's going to be perfect. I gotta go, I have a room to set up. Thanks, kid." After seeing the joy on my daughter's face and hearing it in Charlie's voice, I couldn't deny my own excitement. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.
A/N: Well, there's that. Next chapter will be up soon, I promise. Leave some reviews for me if you feel so inclined. I'd love to get some opinions.
