A/N This story is basically about the Cullen's after Breaking Dawn and the Cullen's are now living in New York City. Many things happen including Alice having a vision she will not share with her family. Nessie is getting older and Bella and Edward having problems adjusting to this. Emmet and Rosalie, well they are interesting enough without anything happening. Jasper is being his usual emo self (I don't know if anyone else has noticed but I think Jasper seems emo.) Carlisle and Esme are just trying to keep up with everyone and hold the family together despite things happening that threaten to tear them apart. Will everything be ok?

It was a usual morning for the Cullen's in their new hometown of New York, New York. They lived in a large mansion now on the upper east side of Manhattan Island. Rosalie, Alice, Emmet and Jasper were attending school at the elite Manhattan academy. That morning went just like every other morning had gone that first week in a new place. Everyone was getting ready for school with the small exception of Edward who had just gotten his PHD in medicine and was working alongside his father and Bella who was staying home with her daughter Nessie. Nessie was in no way like any other children. She was extraordinarily gifted in music and academics not to mention she was only half human and aging at the rate of a year every month. Soon she would reach 17 and never age again and that was when she would be allowed to start attending regular school. Right now however, it just wouldn't look right with someone like Nessie in regular school, people may talk, which was a common thing to say the least in Manhattan Academy. Jacob Black, Nessie's significant other and Bella's werewolf best friend was attending NYU and living in a dorm on campus. He was working on his degree in Journalism. This would keep him in the city with Nessie, which was all he really cared about.
Rosalie absolutely loved her new school as did Alice. Here, they could wear designer clothes and have designer handbags and not look totally obtuse as they would in a place like Forks. Emmet was happy where ever, although New York City was very lacking in woods which Emmet missed terrible which was why they went upstate every weekend camping. Jasper was his usual quiet self. He preferred staring at Alice mostly. He loved how happy she was all of the time. He wished he could be that way sometimes. It wasn't that he wasn't happy it was just that he still had trouble being around humans and was always in pain. Only at night did the terrible burning sensation stop. Jasper feared that it would always be this way for him. He had way too much dignity to admit how much it hurt. He loathed being the weak one in the family. Even Bella was stronger than him and she was barley over being a new born it had only been 13 months for her.
At home Bella and Nessie were doing Pre Cal work while Esme was in the other part of their hotel sized house cleaning and decorating and rearranging things which she loved to do. "Mom, when can I go to real school like everyone else?" Nessie asked her mom after finishing her work effortlessly.
"When you are older of course," Bella said.
"But when will I be older I get older every day and it's never old enough." Nessie whined.
"You just have to be patient." Esme said from the other side of the house. "You will be in school when the time is right, it's really not all that great, you don't get nearly as much freedom in school as you do when you stay home nor do you get to dose off until noon and stay up until three in the morning." Esme added.
"Yeah, I think I am going to go and lie down my stomach hurts." Nessie said.
"Are you ok?" Bella and Esme said together looking very worried.
"Yeah...it just hurts sometimes." Nessie said.
"Well ok dear do you need anything?" Esme asked.
"No Esme, Mom, stop giving me those looks, I'm fine, honestly." Nessie smiled weakly.
"Ok if you say so Ness." Bella said.
Later that day Alice, Jasper, Emmet, and Rosalie came home from school. Alice and Rosalie were laughing as they came through the door at something Emmet had said in the car on the way home. Jasper was holding Alice's hand but not partaking in his sibling's merriment. He went up to their room silently slipping out and letting go of Alice's hand. Alice was a bit preoccupied with laughing at Emmet to really pay much attention.
"Alice where's Jasper?" Esme asked coming in from upstairs. This house wasn't nearly as easy to hear each other in the walls were soundproof for the sake of Nessie since she liked sleeping at night and everyone else preferred doing other things...
"I don't know!" She gasped. "I'll be right back guys." Alice said before skipping off.
"Jasper?" She yelled as soon as she got into their room. He was in the bathroom, she sighed thinking of how she told him not to do this anymore...
"Jasper let me in please." She begged.
"Alice just go downstairs." He said. She could hear the pain in his voice; she wondered how he had managed it this time. Cutting was hard when you were a vampire but somehow he had learned how. It caused complications in the past with lack of blood or very little and him doing that. Plus, it just made her upset, she wanted to understand but she just could not fathom why someone would hurt themselves for no reason.
"Jasper please stop!" She begged. "I will break down this door."
No answer.
"Jasper!" She yelled again. She was getting angry now; there was no reason for him to do this to himself and her.
No answer.
"Ok...that's it" She said as she broke down the door and gasped at what she saw.
