Bella POV

"Mmmm," I murmured as Edward ran his silky hands down my shoulder. His long, slender, piano player fingers slowly and gently caressed my skin as if it were velvet.

I turned over slowly and settled back into Edward's open arms. I smiled as the first rays of sunlight shone through the window causing Edward and I to burst into sparkling diamonds that reflected off our skin and on to the wall.

I craned my neck to catch the warmth of the sunlight and sighed. We'd never be able to lie like this outside, to bask in the sunlight, not in public anyway.

"What's wrong my love?" asked Edward softly, worried at my wistful expression.

I picked my head up and grinned, "Nothing's wrong." It was true, nothing was wrong. We had faced Renesmee's birth, my transformation, and the Volturi's arrival where no-body got hurt. There was finally peace, and I hadn't had that in a long time.

I smiled as I heard my angel, Renesmee awake. I grabbed a gown and walked over to her room, she had grown so much, so fast. At first I was deeply saddened at the thought of my baby not being a baby for long, so I was ecstatic when Renesmee's growth had slowed quite immensely.

Carlisle said her growth wouldn't be as rapid as it was previously so she would be able to now enjoy her childhood.

Nessie now looked like the size of a small three-year old or large two-year old. Intellectually however, she would surpass many high schoolers. Nessie was already an avid reader and persistent in learning new thing every day.

It gave me such joy that she inherited that from her father, and none of my clumsiness. Although, Edward is obstinate that she inherited my qualities of stubbornness and determination. Sometimes, I'd have to agree with him.

"Good morning, baby," I said picking Nessie up and planting a kiss on her head.

She frowned at this, her forehead crumpling and said, "Momma, I'm not a baby anymore." I sighed and tried to ignore that. She'd always be my baby, no matter how old she was.

I dressed Nessie and myself quickly and tried to find something Alice would approve off. Now that I was a vampire, she was adamant that I dress 'properly' and look like a 'Cullen'. This included many, many countless hours of shopping. Even as a vampire, I still hated shopping, and nothing could ever change that.

I could help squeal as Edward wrapped his arms around me and kissed my check down to my shoulder. "Good bye love, I'll be back very soon." Edward kissed Nessie's head before running off to Emmett and Alice.

The three of them were going off hunting for the weekend to a nearby game reserve that had a mountain lion problem. Edward was only too eager to join them.

As for my morning, it wasn't going to well. Nessie refused to have breakfast and turned down the sippy cup of blood I'd offered her numerous times. Nessie was in a mood, I think it was due to Edward's leaving, but I wasn't going to call him yet.

I would try to handle it myself, which would end up including begging and bribing on my part to try to get Nessie to eat.

At the moment, we were still feeding Nessie and she wasn't able to hunt fully grown animals by herself, and I don't think Nessie would enjoy feeding on bunny rabbits if she got the opportunity.

We still had problems sometimes with her about the 'cute little Bambi' we were hunting. We opted to take her hunting when she was a little older.

At around 11' 0 clock I was delighted when Nessie asked me to take out for lunch. We had found a little restaurant that Renesmee fell in love with a little while back. I didn't mind that it sold junk food, I was just happy that she was eating some kind of human food.

Renesmee seemed to prefer the junk food and chocolates and sweets to anything other human food. We'd tried to persuade her to try some vegetable which just ended with us being pelted with it. I shuddered at the memory of being covered in peas.

The car ride to the restaurant was… Let's just say that I had to put up with Nessie going, "Momma, momma, are we there yet?" every two minutes. By 11:30 we found ourselves outside the little shop of 'Chip and Dip' and believe it or not, they only sold chips dipped in dip.


Mike POV

Oh my word! Could this day move any slower! I can't believe Jessica convinced me to this, this 'high school reunion' thing. So that's how I found myself on a day like this, stuck in the mall, listening to Jessica and Lauren gossiping, well actually bitching about our old classmates.

Oh, but apparently we all have to get together be one big group of friends again, that we'd lost touch and needed to reconnect. What bull! Do you know why?

It's because I know what Jessica wants. I know Jessica's secretly digging me and was trying to get me back. That's probably why she planned this whole thing. I knew what to do, I had to play it cool, cool like a cucumber.

No wait, I needed to play it cooler than a cucumber, I needed to play it like, like ice. Yeah, just like that…


Jessica POV

What the hell! Could Mike be any creepier? He keeps checking me out and he thinks I'll go for him? I'm so over that! Us in high school was a one-time thing. I knew it wasn't going anyway, but I don't think Mike knew that. I mean, like I planned this whole get together and he was ruining it by being a total weirdo.

I mean I'd never get back together with him. Why should I? It wasn't like he was a knight in shining armor in school, he was like a loser in aluminium foil. I mean he was kinda cool but he never treated me like he should have.

Come on, I was a catch! Wait, did I say was? I mean I am a catch! Mike, no any man would be lucky to have me. Mike should have been worshipping the ground I walked on when we were dating! But do you know what he was doing?

He spent the entire time drooling over that Swan girl. Even after she turned him down numerous times and went off with Cullen. Mike still followed her around like a lost puppy, it was just sad really.

I don't know what Mike saw in Bella, I mean she wasn't really that pretty. Then again what did Cullen see in her. I don't know, but she must have done something for him to marry her.

I bet they're broken up by now. Edward must have gotten bored of her by now. I thought he'd only married her because he knocked her up or something, but no news came of a baby, so I don't know. Maybe I should go see Edward again, convince him I was the girl for him…


Bella POV

I was in the middle of ordering Nessie's food when I heard a familiar cackling laugh from across the room. It was that irritating laugh that makes everyone turn around and glare at the person for disturbing the peace.

The laugh came from a group of people who looked like they were perhaps just out of high school or just started college. There was something familiar with the group of people, it took me a moment to realize who they were.

OMG, wait did I really say OMG? I sounded like a fan-girl for a moment there. But across the room there was Mike, and there was Jessica!

I had to get out of here. I couldn't let them see me! They would obviously notice something different about me. I tried a discretely as I could to turn my back to them and not make myself obvious to them.

I was almost out of there, the food was already ready when heard someone approach from behind me. They didn't seem to recognize me so I didn't turn to see who the person behind was. The person however did seem to be staring at my head for a long time, or maybe I was losing it.

The cashier handed me the food before saying, "Thank you for shopping at Chip and Dip, Mrs. Cullen."

The person next to me reacted strangely to the sound of my name and I cringed realizing the person must have recognized me. Damn, did the cashier really have to say my name? The cashier must have seen my name on my credit card or maybe when I signed the bill.

"Bella?" cried the person next to me. I turned around to find the one person I hoped I'd never see again. His slicked back blonde hair bobbed at the realization of who I was. Mike…
