It had been a little over a year since the volturi visited us, And it was time to move. For the rest of my family they were used to this process. But on the other hand i was still the rookie. The story was set for Charlie and Jacob of course was coming along. It took him about an hour for us to finally agree, he used every excuse in the book. But that was months ago and today was finally the day we were leaving Forks.
To be honest i was going to miss this place. Where Edward and i met, where we fell in love, started a family. And now we wouldn't return for quite some time. 60 years to be exact.
I was standing inside the closet in our cottage going threw clothes. God Alice had so many outfits and shoes in here i barely knew which ones to take. When suddenly a pair of strong arms wrapped around my torso. "Bella" he hummed. his velvet voice still continued to dazzle me. sighing into his embrace i let my shield down. 'This is harder then it looks, Alice is gonna kill me if i pick the wrong shoes to go with this dress' his light chuckles soothed me, just a bit. "trust me love, she already has a brand new wardrobe waiting for you in New Hampshire." groaning i broke from his grasp "then what am i going to do with all of this!" i motioned to the piles and shelves of clothes and accessories. "leave it, Alice will take care of it. and when we come back it will be filled with whatever is in fashion then" he laughed.
"i don't even think i'll be used to it then" interrupting the conversation the perky pixie bounced in, "sure you will Bella! but instead maybe you'll enjoy shopping with your sisters! and daughter i might add." "i doubt that" i rolled my eyes. "eh just suck it up your never going to get out of this" she winked "but anyways Carlisle just wanted me to say we're leaving in a few hours, so be ready."
"thanks Alice" "right! now you two, i have your outfits picked out laying on the bed. and Renesmee is all dressed and ready to go!" she chipped.
"Alice you know i can dress myself" i protested. "I know, yet i do it so much better" and with that she skipped out of the cottage.
~O~
"Renesmee its time to go" i whispered knowing she'd hear me. "Oh Mom I'm so excited!" she cheered running to me "That makes one of us" I chuckled helping her into her car seat. She was only a year and a half but she looked to be about 9 or 10. And God were we thankful her growing was slowing down. I didn't want my baby to leave me so soon! "is Jacob riding with us?" she asked, her eyes wide. "sorry Ness, i have to drive my stuff with me, miss fashionista over here took all the room" Jacob cut in. "hey thats not my fault, you can blame Alice!" i protested
"if you mean blame me for how amazing you'll look in New Hampshire, then Your welcome!" she said and strutted off to get in the car with Jasper. "but you'll get there when we will right?" she asked with hopefully eyes. "of course" Jacob smiled and kissed the top of her head, then walked back to the truck. "see you in a few hours Ness!"
she waved goodbye then allowed me to finish buckling her in. Rosalie, Emmet, Jasper, and Alice where all in Roses car, along with Carlisle and Esme in the jeep. and Edward, Renesmee and i in the volvo. the ride normally from Forks to New Hampshire was a good long 2 days. But knowing Edward we would make it in one. Our new home was located in Conway, New Hampshire. from the looks of it, the town seemed very pretty and somewhat similar to Forks. with a population of 10,115 which meant it wouldn't be such a big deal for new kids at this school. Thank God.
Carlisle got a job at the local hospital North of Conway, The rest of us would be enrolled at Kennet High school. Besides Jacob, he got a job at a local garage. Even i agreed that he couldn't make it through high school again. Renesmee would stay at home with esme and be homeschooled. Since she grew so quickly it would be easier this way and once she was full grown she would join the rest of us. We had a new story since my daughter and i were added to the case.
Edward and Renesmee were Carlisle and Esme's biological niece and nephew. Carlisle said Renesmee looked far too much like Edward to not make them related. Rose and Jasper where twins, and Emmet, Alice, and I where all siblings. and where foster kids.
the story was all set, yet i wasn't.
"what are you thinking?"
breaking out of my trance, i looked over to see my love. "how long have we been in the car?" "about 6 hours why?" "it felt like minutes" i answered numbly. Edward picked up my hand and placed a soft kiss on my knuckles. "it'll be alright, love"
"I honestly don't know why I'm this upset, I've moved plenty of times before. what makes this different" i mumbled. Edward chuckled and began to rub circles with his finger tips into my skin. "Forks was our home Bella, we made a life there. But we'll go back i promise"
"that will be years from now" i whispered. "i'll miss our meadow and the cottageā¦"
i hadn't even realized it but Edward had stopped the car. "why did you-" cutting me off Edward crushed his lips to mine, his hands on the sides of my cheeks.i melted into him, glad our daughter had fallen asleep.
after a while of this we broke apart for an unnecessary breathe. "Bella I'm going to miss Forks too" he paused. "because thats were i met you, were i was wed to you, were you blessed me with our daughter. the list goes on. but we had to go to protect Renesmee. and just ask and one day we can skip school and drive up to forks for the day and visit our meadow. we can't stay there long but-"
now i was cutting him off, my lips crushed his full of passion and desire wanting more. if only our baby girl wasn't sitting behind us. "that sounds perfect, thank you"
he looked up at me and gave me my favorite crooked grin, i then took my shield down and showed him my memories of the nights spent together in our cottage. "Bella your such a tease" he moaned starting the car again. "just a little bit of encouragement to get to Conway.. faster." and thats all he needed.
somehow my predictions were wrong, we made the drive in 8 hours.
