A not so friendly visit

Chapter 1: welcome home

Bella's POV

The sun was shining as we pulled in to the long driveway. Nothing seemed to have changed drastically, except for the thickening of the moss and the size of the trees. It had been 40 years since we had lived in forks, and I was overwhelmed with the sense of home coming as we turned off the high way, in to the small town of forks.

The town had gone uphill ever since we last visited, at Charlie's funeral. He and Renee had died only a year apart, and Phil a few years after. It hadn't hurt to lose them as much as I thought it would. They had lived a long and full life and we had been separated for so long that I was used to the absence. Pulse it was hard to stay sad for to long when your surrounded by so much love.

And I was surrounded by love; every type of love.

Love from my best friend( and now sun-in-law. Though I never liked to think of him that way) and part time where wolf. Love from my family. Love from my daughter, Renesmee. And the strongest love of all, from my husband.

Edward.

I hated calling him merely my husband, because that didn't seem strong enough. Words like "soul mate" and "true love" didn't even to begin to cover it. We had so much more than what those words were made to cover.

I smiled, as I turned into the garage and parked the car. Edward wasn't more than a ½ a second behind me, and he was at my door in another ½ pulling it open. I easily could have opened the door before he got to me, but over time I gave up the effort. I knew that he would always take any possible chance to be gentlemen.

He pulled me into a kiss as soon as I was out of the car. He kissed me until Jacob and Renesmee drove in to the huge garage in their blue BMW convertible. Jacob loudly honked the horn, and rolled down the window to make an obnoxious hoot. I turned and glared at him, angry for the rude interruption. He and Renesmee both laughed; Renesmee soft tinkling bells and Jacob a deep bark coated with happiness. Edward chuckled to and detangled his fingers from my hair, taking only my hand.

Jacob stepped out of the car and walked to the other side of the car to get the door for Renesmee. As soon as she was out he mimicked Edward, pulling her into a passionate kiss.

"You're such a Hypocrite" I mumbled.

Every one chuckled and he released her. We all walked towards the house, now decorated with fresh flowers, and all the chipped paint and rot dealt with. It looked like we never left. Alice and Esmee, who had left Alaska a week earlier than the rest of us, had done their job well.

We stepped up on to the porch, and I reached for the door, but Alice beat me there. She smiled at us and then asked "well what do you think?" in her high soprano voice. She then stepped aside and let us have the full view of the room.

Every thing was polished to the cleanest shine, and dusted to such thro extent, that even my vampire eyes couldn't find a speck of dirt or dust; the chandler sparkled, throwing shimmers of light around the room; the marble floors where waxed and re-sealed; the walls held neatly framed photos of the family and of the surrounding areas; the table across the room held a fresh vas of yellow roses, and directly above it was the Cullen crest, embedded into the marble, with a light shining from behind it, giving it an eerie glow.

I smiled at her, Renesmee gasped, and Jacob made a strange "gathag" sound. Edward was the only one who answered her question, though I think she enjoyed our reactions more than any answer we could have given her.

"It looks amazing Alice" he said. She smiled, turning her gaze from me to Edward. I dropped his hand, and walked towards her, pulling her in a tight hug. She hugged me back and then laughed "I missed you too, Bella". I laughed with her, than let her go to walk to Jacob and Renesmee, tugging them into a hug to.

" Oh it's been so long cense we where her together. It brings back so many memories." I whispered. Renesmee gave me a kiss on the cheek, and Jacob playfully ruffled my hair. Jasper entered from the kitchen doors than, most likely curious of the emotional atmosphere, and Esmee trailed in behind him. I turned towards her, and she was by my side in a second, patting my arm.

"Oh Esmee its beautiful. You and Alice did amazing. Thank you." I told her, and she squeezed my shoulders, in a side hug.

" Oh thank you honey. I must say this is my favorite house out of all of them. So much has happened here; More than any of the other houses of towns. This is the house where are life was completed. It makes me feel so happy." She was utterly glowing by the time she was finished, which was natural for her. No one could be happy like Esmee.

And she was right. So much had happened here. In this very room , me and Edward had been married, and then gave birth to Renesmee, in Charslile's office only a few months later. Then turned from fragile human, to strong, beautiful vampire, in the very same night.

And big changes didn't just happen in the house, but In the whole town of forks. The town where all of our lives where altered by Edward meeting, and falling in love with, me. The same town where I fell madly in love with him too. The same town where Jacob became my best friend. The same town where the life time friendship between the Cullen's and the werewolves was established. The same town where my life as a normal, human, girl was replaced with a new one.

But it was also the town that I was chased from by a dangerous vampire, determined on my death. The same town where his crazed mate, Victoria, hunted me down and brought with her an army of new born vampires. The same town where the Volturie had tracked down my family, with the intent of killing us all for illegally creating Renesmee.

Yes, a lot of things had happened in this small town. But all of the stories had ended well. And I now had my happily ever after. And it was truly an ever after, because we did have forever. My era of happiness never had to end.

I blinked, and came back to the present. Only Edward had noticed my temporary trip through my memories. He had the same look on his face that he wore when he was dying to look inside my mind. A look mixed with confusion, awe, frustration, and amusement. I just took his hand and winked at him. I was glad for my special gift that saved our skins countless times, but Edward was still a bit bitter that my mind kept him out. Unless of course I wanted him in my head, than all I had to do was lift my shield, and my mind would be as vulnerable as any other mind.

We all split up and went to our rooms. Esmee had had to do some remodeling to make an extra room for Jacob and Renesmee. They now had a large suit on the ground level, with a small garden outside their French doors. Esmee had also re-done Edward and I's room, by taking the glass wall back an additional 10 ft. and giving us a balcony. Me and Edward where their now.

"Wow. It just seems like yesterday that we where hear. I didn't realize how much I missed it hear." I said to him, as we sat on the railing of the balcony, watching the sun set. The trees had cleared out in this particular part of the woods and that gave a great view of the river. The clouds had departed just in time for the sun set, and it gave me and Edward a slight glow, but not enough to make us sparkle. He squeezed my hand, and I leaned into him. He wrapped his arms around me, and kissed my hair. I inhaled deeply, taking in his sent. His sent was my favorite smell in the whole world. Even after all the years I still couldn't place it though. Freshly cut grass? Roses? Pine forest? Sugar cookies? Nothing seemed to fit.

"I love you" he murmured into my hair. The way he said it always made me smile, like I was the most amazing creature in on the planet. I knew words couldn't describe my love for him, so I lifted my shield so he could feel how much I loved him." I love you more" I told him in my head. He tightened his arms around me, and kissed my hair again.

I left my shield open, thinking that my voice would shatter the moment. "It feels good to be home" I thought.

"Yes. Back to the place where my existence really began." He murmured, to quiet for anyone but a vampire to hear him. He must have thought that his voice ruined the moment as well, but in truth, it completed it. I felt him smile at my conclusion.

"Where both are existences began" I corrected him.

He chuckled. "Yes, I guess you're right about that. Though even after all these years, I still don't understand how you could fall in love with me."

I rolled my eyes. He had it totally backwards. He was the super hero, with amazing good looks, and I was the plane human girl who tripped over flat surfaces. He laughed loudly at my thoughts, probably remembering one of my more entertaining accidents, and released me, keeping only my hand. My shield snapped back into place, and I looked at him in confusion. Without an explanation, he jumped off the balcony, pulling me with him. For a human, the jump would most likely have broken both legs, but for us the jump was like taking a step off the stairs. I landed gracefully, and turned to him, bewildered. He merely winked, dropped my hand, and took off running into the sunset. It was obvious that he wanted me to fallow, but I hesitated for a faction of a second. What had gotten into him?

I knew that if I waited any longer, I wouldn't be able to catch him, so I bolted after him at top speed. I lifted my shield at the same moment, and asked him what he was up too. He only laughed and yelled over his shoulder "tag, your it!" I laughed too, mentally and out load. If he had officially lost it, I might as well go crazy with him. The trees flue by as I bumped up the speed.

Edward was not running as fast as he could have and I caught him as we entered a small meadow. I sprang as soon as he was in reach and tackled him to the ground. As we fell, he turned his body so that we would land facing each other. I fell on top of him, and laughed.

" Cought'ya. Your it." I chuckled.

He laughed with me for a second, than put both his hands on either side of my face. I didn't need the power of mind reading to tell what he wanted, or the power of seeing the future to see what was coming. I pressed my body against him, until our faces where only an inch apart. He covered the last inch himself, and pressed his lips gently to mine. I kissed him back passionately.

"I let you win" he murmured on my lips, and then he rolled so that he was on top of me, holding me flat on the round, and grabbed my shoulders.

"Pined" he said in a triumphant voice.

"since when are we at a reselling match?"I asked, amused.

"Well, this is a handy position" he kissed me again.

He kissed me until the last sliver of light had gone with the sun set, than was thoughtful.

" You know, this is the same place where I mustard the bravery to kiss you for the first time, and where I first confessed my utter obsession for you, and where you first saw me for what I am." He said, to my utter confusion.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, bewildered.

" Look around love."He said.

I did.

I sat up in surprise. We were sitting in the same meadow where Edward had first taken me on our first day together; The meadow where my life changed. We could have been sitting in the exact same place that he told me he loved me, or where Lurant had tried to kill me, or where I stood when I first saw the werewolves, or where I finally agreed to marry Edward. I was temporarily out of it, as memories flooded through my mind. The meadow was just as beautiful as the first time I had been hear. The wild flowers where fully budded, and the grass was just as green.

I was surprised that I had not recognized it as soon as I was here. I now understood why Edward had let me catch him. The entire game of "tag" was just to lure me hear. I stood up and turned in a full circle to take in every angle. Edward stood up to and took my hand.

"wow" I breathed.

"its only beautiful as long as your hear." He murmerd.

I turns towards him, taking his other hand in mine, and kissed him sweetly. Then pulled away after a moment, and said "your still it" and bolted into the forest as fast as light. He laughed as he chased after me.
