1. New Home, New Life

I held two big cardboard boxes on my lap and opened the door with my other hand. I put the boxes on the floor and went back outside to get more of them. Edward and Emmett were carrying furniture upstairs with Rosalie and Carlisle. Esme and Alice were planning the house's furnishing. Our new home was located near to Olympia. It was reasonable choice to us, because it was near enough to Jacob to come look at Renesmee often enough and it was also far enough from Forks.

Before I had time to get more boxes, Edward was back downstairs. He distracted me by wrapping his arms tight around me.

"Do you like the house?" he whispered in my ear. He turned me around, so that he could kiss my lips.

"I'm sure Esme will make our new home really beautiful," I answered and kissed him again.

He kept his lips on mine until we heard an impatient sight behind us. It was Emmett, of course.

"Excuse me, but could you two get you're hands off of each other and help us get the stuff inside, or at least get out of the doorway so we can go inside." Emmett said cheerfully.

Edward let go of me and scowled at Emmett angrily. I sighed and took Edward's hand in mine and pulled him outside.

"Come on, we'd better get this done," I said and smiled to him. Emmett rolled his eyes at us.

We all used a couple more hours to get our new house to look like home. The colors were light and there were big windows all over the house. It was located next to the forest, which remind me of our home in Forks. It felt somehow comforting. I could get used to this place easily.

"Edward," I called to my husband, who was upstairs with Carlisle.

"Yes, love?" Edward was suddenly beside me.

"I think I'm going to go get Nessie. It's so late already," I said. Renesmee was in La Push with Jacob. Usually Jacob came to us to see Renesmee, but now she was with the werewolves.

"Okay, I'm coming with you," Edward said and kissed me quickly on my forehead. I raised my face and pressed my lips on his lips. We stood there for a minute and then Edward pushed me softly out of the door.

The ride to La push usually takes a little under four hours, but at Edward's speed, we were there after just two hours. We found Nessie, Jacob and Embry playing Scrabble on the Black's living room floor.

A cheerful smile appeared on Renesmee's face, as soon as she saw Edward and me. I smiled back at my beautiful daughter.

"Momma!"

"Hey, Sweetie," I said and lifted her onto my lap. She wrapped her arms around my neck and buried her face in my hair.

"You're tired?" I asked her and stroked her brown curls. She didn't answer aloud, but she pressed her tiny hand on my cheek and showed me everything that she and Jacob had done during the day.

"So, obviously you are tired if you've been messing around all day like that." I smiled at her playfully. She smiled her dazzling smile back at me. A smile that reminded me very much of her dad's smile.

I handed Renesmee to Edward and turned to face Jacob, Billy and Embry.

"Hi, did you have fun?" I asked.

"Sure" Billy answered. "She's a lovely girl."

I smiled. I totally agreed with that. "Thank you for taking care of her," I thanked them then.

Jacob shrugged. "You know that I'm more than willing to spend time with Nessie," Jacob pointed out. Yes, I knew it, but I did my best to forget it. I still wasn't completely used to the idea that my best friend had imprinted on my daughter.

"So, I'm coming over tomorrow?" Jacob asked. It was clear that he didn't want to let Nessie go just yet.

"Sure. And bring Seth with you," Edward answered to him before I had time.

"I will," Jacob promised.

"But now we have to go." I hustled Edward along. "Nessie is tired and we still have a long ride to get home."

"Goodnight, Nessie," Jacob said softly and kissed Renesmee on her forehead.

"Goodnight, Jacob," Renesmee answered.

We said our goodbyes to Jacob, Embry and Billy and hurried to the Volvo. We were back at home after ten and Renesmee had dozed off on my lap. I woke her up gently and carried her into our new kitchen. The kitchen wasn't a necessary room in normal vampire families, but we were anything but normal. We needed normal human food for Nessie and even though she didn't eat that much, our fridge was always full because of the werewolf guests that visited us. Werewolves did have a huge appetite.

Rosalie was waiting for us and she immediately took Renesmee in her arms when we got inside of the house.

"Hi, honey." Rosalie smiled to Nessie. "You must be really tired. Let's get you something to eat before you can go sleep in your new room," Rosalie said to her and carried her into the kitchen. Edward and I followed behind.

"She likes it." Edward smiled at me.

"What?"

"She likes our new home," Edward explained, pleased.

"Oh," I said. "Well, that's good."

Rosalie boiled porridge for Renesmee while Edward and I introduced our new house to Renesmee. She liked her room; it was large, light and decorated in green and light brown. I agreed with Renesmee that Alice and Esme had done a really good job, as they had with the rest of the house, too.

After half an hour Renesmee had eaten and dressed in her light blue, bunny patterned pajamas and ready to go to bed. Edward and I took her to her new room and read her a piece of her bedtime story. She was more than able to read herself and we knew it, but this was just habit that had stayed; alone time for our small family. Today, Renesmee was so tired, that it wasn't long 'til she fell asleep.

"Goodnight, sweetheart," I whispered and stroked her hair gently.

"Goodnight, Nessie," Edward said, too, and then turned the light off. It didn't affect our eyes that much. I could see Edward just as clearly without the light, but it was easier for Renesmee to sleep.

Edward and I walked downstairs, hand in hand. Alice and Jasper were watching TV and Rosalie sat on the couch with them, but she didn't seem to pay much attention to what was on the screen. Esme was reading some book and Carlisle was upstairs in his office. I didn't have any idea where Emmett was.

"She's sleeping?" Rosalie asked when we appeared in the living room.

I nodded. Edward and I sat for some time, but after a while, we went to our own room.

"Long day, wasn't it?" Edward teased me when we were alone.

"It's a good thing vampires can't get tired." I grinned at him.

Edward answered my grin with his own dazzling smile that would have made me heart beat faster if it could still beat.

Edward kissed me, first softly, but then harder. He pulled me gently onto the bed, but his lips didn't leave mine. After a while, I pressed my head onto his chest and we just lay there, still, and listened to the heartbeat in the next room of our sleeping daughter.
