Set four years after Breaking Dawn

Rachel's POV

I hopped of the plane that flew to Washington State's airport and took a cab to Forks, the little town that my best friend lives in. She doesn't know I am doing this, but I came all the way from Arizona to see her. I had to track her down on the Internet; I even had to buy this package with her personal information. It told me who she is related to, what her address is, and how old she is- which is 22, like me. It's all part of the surprise visit. We used to be such close friends, but I haven't gotten a chance to talk to her since she moved.

So, I planned to come here all by myself and visit Bella, who apparently lived somewhere on the edge of Forks. I have the address on a slip of paper, and I had already given it to the cab driver. I still cannot believe she stayed there-wouldn't she at least want to come back to Arizona for college? I have no idea if she'll be there or not, she could still be at college, or anywhere else. How do I even know if she went to college? I'm really taking a big chance here. I have a lot of free time, because my boyfriend is still in medical school and I just graduated this year. I knew I should have come here in the summer, what with it being so cold in the Olympic Peninsula. I always missed her so much; when she left I was so alone. I'm so glad I decided to come here.

Then the cab pulls up to a large, isolated house. It is painted white, and has some kind of theme to it, which I can't really put my finger on, but it is gorgeous. I headed up the beige stairs, knocked on the door, and crossed my fingers.

Renesmee's POV

I was just Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper and I alone in the big house, because Bella and Edward had gone hunting. Rose and Emmett were on their... fifth honeymoon? I don't know. They will be back the day after tomorrow, though. Carisle was working at Fork's Hospital, and Esme was out shopping for some new decorations for her garden because it was the beginning of June.

I heard a tentative knock on the front door. Alice and Jasper were upstairs, so I got up gracefully and went to answer the door. I heard Alice come zooming down the steps, and she said, "Renesmee-"

But I had already answered the door.

Behind it was a girl who looked to be in her early twenties, with light brown hair that fell only to her shoulders. She had milky brown eyes that looked unsure.

"Is B-Bella home?" She stuttered. No, I thought. She isn't. But I obviously couldn't tell her where Bella was, so I stalled.

"Who are you?" I asked nicely, smiling. "Oh, I am one of Bella's old friends," She peeked her head inside a little. "Is she here?"


Ohhh, she must be a friend from Forks High school. I put my lips in a flat line and shook my head. She looked disappointed. "I knew she wouldn't be here." She hung her head and turned to leave. I felt bad. "She's at the store. With Edward." I say quickly, happy to call my father by his first name rather than dad. "So she lives here?" I nodded. She jumped up and down, then stopped abruptly. "Who's Edward?" I felt my eyes crinkle in confusion. How could she not know who daddy is? Surely if they went to the same school...

"Her husband..." I said slowly, trailing off at the end. Her eyes widened. "She's married?! And she didn't invite me to the wedding?" She saddened. "It wouldn't have been too much trouble. I could've flown in from Arizona for the wedding! Why didn't she tell me?" She's from Arizona? I didn't know mommy had any good friends from her home town. I'll have to ask her about it later. She must be important if she came all the way here from where mommy used to live.

"Please, come in."
