"Renesmee, go to sleep now," I called to my daughter. "You can see Jacob tomorrow." She sighed, and I heard her small body turn over in bed; I knew that meant she was going to sleep.

I headed into Edward and my bedroom; my perfect husband was already there, sitting and waiting for me on our huge white bed. We used that bed every night, even though neither of us slept. I slid down next to him and he pulled me into his arms. I breathed in his sweet, delicious scent and thought about how to say what I wanted to.

Edward sensed there was something bothering me.

"What is it, Bella, love?" he asked quietly in his velvet voice.

"Well," I began, pulling away, and instead taking his smooth-as-satin, pale white hand in mine. "I was remembering back to when I was still human, and you said you wanted to go to Dartmouth."

"You still remember that?" he murmered, kissing my hair.

"Of course I do. I remember everything you've ever said to me." I told him. "Well, anyway," I was trying hard to focus, but Edward's kisses were distracting me. "I was thinking if you still wanted to, I was, you know, up for it."

He pulled away. "Would you be able to handle it? I know your self-control is extraordinary, Bella, but…"

"I can handle it, Edward. Besides, you'd be there to help me. You've done your part of our agreement; now I want to do mine."

Edward smiled. "Love, if you want to go to Dartmouth, we can go to Dartmouth."

I kissed his lips. "I love you."

"I know."

I ran my fingers through his hair, and we deepened our kiss. I unbuttoned his white shirt, and he unbuttoned my jeans, and we spent the night blissfully unaware of anything but the two of us.

"Are we going to tell everyone today?" I asked Edward as we changed.

"We probably should," He said. "And we'll have to tell Charlie, too."

"Oh, no," I groaned. "Can you even imagine how he'll take it?"

Edward laughed.

"How is this funny?" I asked, bewildered.

"Right now, he's wondering if you're going to college or not. He was going to ask you when you brought Nessie over later."

I frowned. "Her name is Renesmee, Edward. This is all Jacob's fault. He's the one who started the stupid name," I grumbled.

Edward laughed again. "Let's get Renesmee, and go back to the house. Alice has probably already seen what's going to happen, but I doubt she's told anyone else. She most likely knows we want to tell them ourselves."

We woke Renesmee and she changed into some jeans and a t-shirt (Alice was going to be furious), and then we ran over to the large white house, Renesmee on my back.

Jacob was already there, and he pulled Renesmee into his arms as soon as we walked through the door.

"Hey Nessie. How's it going?" he asked her.

She pressed her still-small hand to his cheek, and Edward chuckled beside me.

"She's showing him you making her go to bed early," he told me.

"Aw, Mom!" Jacob teased. "Going to bed? How could you?"

"Be careful with my niece, dog," Rosalie growled as we came in.

"Hi Bella. Hi Edward," Alice wasn't her normal bouncy self. As we walked into the kitchen, Edward whispered in my ear, "She saw." (Everyone probably still heard it.)

"Carlisle?" Edward called. Carlisle came down the stairs slowly (you could do everything slowly when you were immortal).

"Are you alright?" I asked.

"Oh, yes, I'm fine. I was just thinking about something," he assured me. "Edward, what did you need?"

"We have to talk to you. All of you," he added.

Three minutes later, all eyes were focused on Edward and I (if I could still blush, I would have).

"Bella and I have decided that we wish to attend college this fall. We'll be going to Dartmouth in two weeks."

"What about Nessie?" Jacob spoke first. "You can't take her with you. We're all going to miss her too much."

I narrowed my eyes.

"And you, of course, Bells," Jacob added hastily.

"Jasper and I aren't going to miss her at all," Alice said.

"What?" Rosalie gasped. "Alice, that's"-

"We're not going to miss them," Alice pressed on, interrupting Rosalie, "because Jasper and I are going to Dartmouth, too! I saw it earlier."

"Well," Rose said, "Emmett and I might as well come. We're in."

"Hey, hey, whoa, what about me?" Jacob asked. "You're going to leave me all alone?"

"Jake, you ran through Canada. I'm sure it wouldn't kill you to run up to New Hampshire once in a while to see the love of your life."

"I am going to miss Nessie," he said sadly.

"I was talking about me!" I said, acting upset.

"Oh…" There was an awkward silence.

I burst out laughing. "I'm just kidding, Jake."

"So it's official!" Alice said happily, back to her usual bubbly, blithe self. "The Cullens are going to Dartmouth!"
