Chapter 1 Moving Day - Bella POV

Today is the day that we are moving into the house that Esme has renovated in this little town in New Jersey. Why are we moving to New Jersey is really a mystery. It is not like it is cloudy anywhere near as often as it was in Forks or anywhere else that we have lived since I joined the family. Although I do remember hearing them talk about how they like it here and I do understand why. The actual town that we are living in is very small and country like with farms and mountains and woods, it is very beautiful. Everything that is needed is in the next township and that is at most 20 minutes away driving at human speed. Of course our house, like always, is in the middle of the woods for obvious reasons.

It has been 50 years since my transformation and Renesmee has stopped aging awhile ago so this will be her 3rd time through high school. Since it is sunny more often than not here the rest of us will attend the local community college for night classes while Nessie and Jake go to the high school. Jake moves with us to be with Nessie but this will be his first time going to school, usually he just works in a garage but we didn't want Nessie going to school by herself and the 2 of them don't stick out in the sun like the rest of us do.

The house is amazing as usual. It is a four story house with a bed room for every couple that suits them perfectly and a few extra bedrooms in case we have visitors. There is a study for Carlisle, a work room for Esme for all her blue print and plans, 3 huge closets that aren't attached to bed rooms (one for Alice, one for Rosalie, and then one for Nessie and I to share), along with a game room, a library, a music room, dining room, kitchen, living room, and family room. We also have a huge garage that is bigger than Charlie's house, which is not attached to the house. Like every house one exterior wall is all glass since this is the one place we don't have to hide.

Everything is all moved in and Nessie and Jake are asleep. Everyone else went hunting while Edward and I stayed at the house. The school year starts in a week so we are just spending much needed time alone before we need to play the role of human for another couple of years. It is great being able to fully be ourselves when we are alone, even when the others are here Edward and I act differently. Yes we do show a lot of our love for each other but not nearly as much as when we are alone.

Edward started by playing the lullaby that he wrote for me and I was showing him all my memories of when he would play it for me or when he hummed it to me. I could tell that is was very hard for him to concentrate on finishing it, any time I open my mind to him he wants to attack me in excitement, you would think that after 50 years he would be used to it by now.

"You know love, maybe we could go out exploring in the woods" Edward said, "We can probably find a meadow in it somewhere."

"Why Mr. Cullen, I think that is a wonderful idea. I really miss our meadow, it won't fully be the same but it would still be nice to have one again." I said back to him.

"Come on lets go then." He said throwing me over his shoulder.

"You know I am capable of running right, I can run as fast as the rest of the family." I said laughing.

"I know love but it's not fast enough. Plus I miss running carrying you like this." Edward said.

"Well in that case. Anyhow, I kind of miss this too; I don't get scared any more though. And I like running but you are faster and I love being this close to you." I said and then kissed his neck and moved my lips very lightly over his ear.

"You know Mrs. Cullen if you keep this up we may not find a meadow tonight." he laughed.

"Well Mr. Cullen," I pushed him down to the ground, "maybe I am perfectly happy not finding a meadow tonight." I said as he rolled on top of me.

"I…have…to…agree…with…you…on…that." He said in between kissing my neck and working his way to my mouth.

After several hours the sun began to rise so we got dressed and ran hand in hand back to the house.

Everyone was there when we got back. "And what were you 2 up to last night?" Emmett asked with a smirk on his face.

"Emmett, give it a rest, we are all getting tired of you picking on them like that" Rosalie said while punching him on his arm.

"Ow. Rose, how could you do that to me?" Emmett pouted. "Fine, I'll try and control myself."

We all snorted at that, there is no way that he could control himself to not make comments on mine and Edward's love life.

Just then we heard movement upstairs, Jacob and Nessie were getting up. Esme went to go make Jacob breakfast. Nessie, Edward and I would go hunting a little later today. Since it is cloudy today we are going to go explore this town and the next town where the high school and everything else is besides for our college, that was in the other direction but that isn't important right now.

Once we heard the shower turn off for the second time Edward and I went to meet our daughter and son-in-law right outside of their room. You would think that with their enhanced hearing that they would have heard us, obviously not seeing as once they opened their door Nessie did a little yelp of surprise and Jacob said, "Holy crap are you trying to give me a heart attack?"

Edward and I just started to laugh. Once we gained control I said, "You both have enhanced hearing and you didn't hear us that is not our fault. Anyhow, how was your first night in our new home?"

"It's always hard the first week mom you know that, it just doesn't feel like home yet. I can't wait until we are able to go back to Forks, which is truly home in my mind." Nessie said.

"Trust me sweetie I agree with you. I will always see Forks as our home but you know that we have all these other homes too, after a while I think that you will see that for yourself." I told her, then to Jake, "Esme has breakfast ready for you Jacob."

"Great I am starving." Jacob said when taking off for the kitchen.

"You know Renesmee, it is cloudy today so we are going to go exploring in the towns. It will be interesting and fun." I told her "Let go downstairs and meet up with your aunts and uncles shall we?" I said grabbing her and tugging her down the steps with me and then Edward was trailing behind us.
