BPOV
It all started when we had to leave Forks. It was impossible to stay any longer. As much as I would of liked to push it for time, our family had to move on, it was inevitable. So, from Forks, WA, we migrated to Australia. I know right, Australia. The most isolated place I could think of, where our diet would consist of kangaroos and koalas and the sun always shone. Well, that's what I thought until we arrived in Perth, Western Australia.
It was a cute city, the biggest in Western Australia. Big enough to become inconspicuous, not everybody recognised each other like in Forks, and we could move around as we wanted, become more independent. But like usual, to stay in one place for as long as possible, Emmett, Rose, Alice, Jasper, Edward, myself, Renesmee and Jacob had to enrol into Mt. Constance Catholic College and play the classic high school students.
It was only fitting for Jake to follow us to Australia, impossible for him and Renesmee to leave each other's side. Much to Edward's disgust, Renesmee was a fully grown 19 year old and romantically involved with Jake. We knew it would be hard living together but he practically was back in Forks. The living arrangements are as follows in the mansion just outside of Perth; the top floor was inhabited by Edward and I, the floor below held Rose and Emmett, below that was Jasper and Alice and the ground floor was the main living area with Carlisle and Esmee's bedroom down the long corridor filled with local and Australian Art. The underground area was done up nicely for Renesmee and Jacob, being the only two who actually needed their beauty sleep.
Carlisle and Esmee had just came back from the school and assured all of us that there were eight places ready for tomorrow at Mt. Constance. Being a pristine school, we had hideous uniforms. The boys wore grey pants and the girls grey, pleated skirts in winter, both teamed with white collared shirts and a teal tie. And how could I possibly forget the beautiful and compulsory teal blazers over a blood red jumper.
"Ewww... we just died and went to fashion hell!" complained Alice, storming out of the change room.
"Very funny, Alice." Jokes like that never sat well with Edward. I walked up behind him rubbing his back. "At least we don't have to worry too much about these Australian boys perving on Renesmee when she wears this sack." Nessie rolled her eyes, her uncles agreed with her father.
"Can I please edit these uniforms a tad?" She had begged for a sewing machine last year for her 8th birthday. Of course she got the best model there was to offer and she had worked miracles with it. She turned to me waiting for my permission. I nodded, on the condition she worked on mine too. I couldn't, for the life of me, understand what sort of person would force the children to wear crap like this.
The sun went down for the day and two at a time, my family skipped off into the hills. Edward stayed with me as I made dinner for Renesmee and Jake. After they headed down to bed and Carlisle and Esmee returned from a feast, Edward and I went for a nightly run to a secluded beach outside of Perth. The Australian beaches were nicer than I had imagined. The sand was soft and so much whiter than any American or European beach. It was the perfect place to spend the night with my husband. We made a note to keep track of the moment and return home in time. Our family always joked that Edward and I got too carried away after nights like these, I just told them that we lacked a little bit of punctuality.
I needed my time away, school was something I was equally as nervous and excited about. What if we don't fit in? What if someone stirs up trouble? How will I be able to handle it all? My shield was down as Edward took in my thoughts.
"There isn't a thing to worry about." He comforted
But what about Renesmee? Its her first time at a school, her first time around so many humans. So many thoughts, how will you handle it? I thought roughly at him, my stress seeping through.
"Don't even worry about me, it's something I've done over and over. We're all used to it. Just worry about yourself, you know Renesmee has the whole family to worry over her and I know that both my favourite girls can handle whatever tomorrow brings." I took reassurance in his words and went back to what we do best.

The love I felt for my girl was still clouding my head as we walked into the living area, hand in hand. The winter morning was crisp and we were all relaxed about the day ahead, all except for Nessie. She was frantic. She walked quickly in and out of rooms, organising the rest of us for the day, a trait she'd picked up from Alice. She threw Bella's uniform at her.
"Mum! You're late. Put this on, I fitted it for you and took the hem up, just like I did for aunt Rose and aunt Al and me and then I had to re-adjust the top button of uncle Em's and Jake's tops 'cos they have such adult necks... geez, you would think these things were made for little boys and..." We felt an air of calm move through the room. Renesmee sighed. "Thanks uncle Jaz"
Edward, Jake mentally shouted at me above all the other thoughts. Do you mind if I take Renesmee to school separately. You know, just to calm her down, I promise we won't be late. I saw his truly kind thoughts flicker through his mind and I nodded at him. All the rest of them were ready for school so Bella dashed into the other room and when she returned, she was changed and ready for her first day of school. I stood across the room and watched her as she packed our daughters lunch. She really had the catholic school girl look going for her and I loved my daughter for the magic she worked on that uniform. I stopped and looked at the girls in my family. One thing was clear, I was going to have a headache at the end of the day, Jasper was going to have so much lust and teenage hormonal feelings running through him from the students and Emmett was going to have to fight off many boys. Yep, our worn out stances at the end of the day flickered in Alice's thoughts while she glared into thin air. Scenes through the day flashed in her head and I knew what we were in for.
"Ok, all the boys follow me!" Emmett's loud voice boomed through the foyer as he headed to his jeep. Rose, Alice and Bella headed for Alice's car. I walked along side Bella and told her Jacob's plans for taking Renesmee in his car a little while after we all left.
"Bye! Good luck for your first day." Esmee waved us out.
"Be good, Nessie." Bella warned "I'll see you at school"
We left the door open and jumped in the cars. Alice sped off, the dirt clouding behind her. I caught glimpses of last night from both Emmett and Jasper that I didn't want to see. Then as I looked back at the house, I saw Renesmee and Jacob caught in a lip locking embrace. I huffed as I turned around in the car seat and tried to shoo the memory out of my head.
"Seriously, man. Jake is the last thing you have to worry about today." Emmett said as he turned on the radio.
Jasper nodded in agreement. "I'll be there to calm you down, but I think you know what all those horny teenagers are going to be thinking about Renesmee, even if she has all her uncles, including Jake, around to protect her."
"As long as no one messes with her, there's no need to be up in their minds and stressing about un-necessary shit, ok Edward?" I turned to Emmett and agreed in a nod. This was going to be one long day.
We got to school a little earlier than I had planned, but already there were students all over the grounds. We met up with the girls before we walked through the gate. It was like I had expected, the usual gasps at first spotting us. First the humans were alerted to Emmett, he was big and intimidating and carelessly slung next to the elegant Rosalie at his side. They were the attention couple. She got the majority of fans from the boys, as usual. Next was Bella, walking close by my side, our fingers touching as we walked. I tried to keep the degrading fantasies of my girl out of my mind and over heard all the reactions when they first glanced me, it put a crude smile on my face to know that a father like myself still had it in him.
Our skin stood out even more here than it did in Forks and the humans' eyes held onto Jasper for a while, not knowing why, but feeling uncomfortable. Then they dropped down to Alice. Pixie was the first thought in many minds and then came the hormonal surges just like before with Bella and Rose. We waited just outside the school gates for Nessie and Jacob to arrive in their car while Bella held my hand tightly, comforting me from the overwhelming thoughts. Just as I looked up at Bella, Alice caught my eye and sent me a wince and a sorry I didn't see this coming thought. Then the distant humming and drowning of a motorbike caught our attention.
Emmett started laughing out loud and Rose and Jasper started giggling. Bella's face was a mask of no emotion. I stared daggers at them as they pulled up near us. "You've got to be kidding me!" I said loud enough that Nessie definitely heard and no doubt Jacob's ears could have picked up. Clearly they needed to learn the meaning of subtle at this school.
"Renesmee, come here now" I said in a voice no human could hear. She momentarily panicked then thought loudly and stubbornly Dad, leave it alone. PLEASE wait till we get home.
I picked up my backpack and stared an I'm-disappointed-at-you look at Jacob before I gracefully turned and walked towards the school office. Bella stalked after me, followed by the others. We waited patiently in front of the receptionist. She sat behind a large counter as she tried to help out a parent. When it was finally our turn, she called us forward.
Oh my, these are some gorgeous looking kids, they'll do well here.
"Hi, I'm Edward Cullen, these are my siblings Alice, Emmett and Renesmee Cullen, Bella, Rosalie and Jasper Hale and this is Jacob Black." I put as much venom in my voice as possible when mentioning the later. Renesmee tried to hold in her laughter, Alice tickled her in the stomach, obviously not seeing how serious I was "We're just starting here today and I believe there are some timetables for us to pick up?" I smiled politely at the lady. We all heard her breath hitch and her heart rate increase and I wasn't amused by her thoughts. I turned around while she dug through some files, Bella rolled her eyes at me and Renesmee tried to show her purest teenager face of disgust. I smiled courteously at her, and then when my gazed turned to Jacob, I let my curled lips drop to a stern expression. I was secretly enjoying every bit of the situation when he gulped hard. But Jasper was on to me and gave me a disapproving grin.
mmm... is that boy part aboriginal? I doubt it. Maybe Indian? I wonder if he has an accent too. Wow, I think I'm in love with a teenager. Dark skin... look at those muscles under his shirt. When she looked up at his face, he winked at her, clearly having some fun. Her heart rate skyrocketed.
"Um, here we go Edward." She was getting distracted, but now she was back on track. "Good luck you guys with your first day of school" she raised her voice to speak to my siblings, Jacob in particular. I couldn't believe it, he got more of a reaction out of her than I did. He knew it and he liked it. I stared him down. Renesmee threw her arm around him and she pulled him out of the office, claiming what was hers. Bella took my hand in hers and I was slightly more prepared for the onslaught of thoughts in the school grounds as we stepped out.
