Renesmee P.O.V

I couldn't believe it. Finally, after fifteen years, we were returning to Forks. Well, Mom, Dad, Jake, his pack, and I were anyway. We were all splitting up for the first time since Mom and I officially became part of the Cullen family (since she was turned and I was born).

When we arrived in Forks, we were going to live in the old Cullen mansion, except for the wolves, who were going back to La Push. Jake would spend the days and some nights with us, but the majority of the nights with his Dad.

Of all Jake's pack - Leah, Seth, Embry, and Quil - only Leah and Seth came everywhere with us. Quil's imprintee, Claire, knew about everything, and although she knew we wouldn't hurt her, only me and mom didn't make her nervous, so they only visit us - frequently. Embry still hasnt imprinted yet, and he doesnt want to, so he stays in La Push where he knows all the girls. He comes to visit us whenever Quil and Claire do, and they were overjoyed that we were coming back.

However, wherever we lived, the wolves had a house separate from us, because we couldn't stand the smell of each other. Well, they couldn't. Mom, Jake, Seth and I didn't mind it. Except when Aunt Rose was around, Jake just had to comment. They still didn't like each other much.

"Nessie!" My mom's voice broke into my thoughts.

"Yeah, Mom?" I answered.

"Well at least now you're paying attention! Are you excited to be going back to Forks? I am! I cant wait to see Charlie!"

Wow. Mom must be excited. She was usually pretty quiet.

The last time we had been in Forks, I had only been a year old, and I barely remembered my other grandfather. All I remembered was that his eyes were the exact same colour as mine, and that my middle name is a mix of his name and Grandpa Carlisle's.

"Yes, Nessie," Dad said, reading my thoughts. "And your Mom's eyes were the exact same colour when she was human."

"Really?" I asked. I couldn't imagine Mom's eyes as any colour beside the golden of all vegetarian vampire eyes. I mean, I'd seen their wedding pictures, but it wasn't like I paid all that much attention to her eye colour.

"Yes really. A beautiful chocolate brown that went gorgeously with her blush."

I blanched. "Mom blushed!?"

They laughed at my expression. "Yes I did. Almost once every minute!" Mom said. She looked embarrassed. Almost as if she would be... blushing!

"I blushed very easily, especially around your father. He enjoyed embarrassing me, and making me blush." Mom explained, glaring at Dad. He just laughed.

We were in Dad's silver Volvo, on our way to Forks. Jake was driving Mom's Ferrari; even fifteen years later she wouldn't let Dad get her an upgrade. In fact, the Volvo was more her's now, while Dad drove his fancy expensive cars. But since Forks was such a small town, it looked like Dad was going to be stuck with his less, ostentatious, mode of transportation.

I was so excited to be going back to my place of birth, and to be seeing Grandpa Charlie, to see him and refresh my memory.

Mom's cellphone rang. "Hello? Oh, hi Seth."

Seth and Leah were with Jake in the Ferrari, since they went everywhere with us. They were siblings, and their Mom had married Grandpa Charlie, which made them my aunt and uncle! They said I didnt have to call them that though, so I didn't.

"Really? That's better than I expected," Mom was saying. "That's great. Thanks Seth. Bye." She hung up.

"Jake talked Sam into letting us in La Push!" Mom said excitedly.

"All of us?" Dad sounded doubtful.

"Well, not really. More like just me and Nessie."

"So you and I are allowed to cross the treaty line?" I asked Mom.

"Yup. But one of the pack has to be with us at all times, although that would probably be the case anyway, we'd stay with Jake."

I couldn't believe it. I could go to the place where Mom and Jake used to hang out? This move was looking better and better all the time! Suddenly I noticed Dad's expression.

"So, we let pretty much the whole pack into our Forks territory, and they let two of us into theirs? How does that work out?" he demanded, scowling.

Mom just laughed. "Not the whole pack Edward, just Jake's. And you don't really think that we're not safe there, do you?"

"Well, no. But how did you know that's what I was thinking?" he asked.

I knew the answer to this, but I was determined not to think it, so Mom could answer on her own.

"Um, well I just figured this out awhile ago, and I'm still testing it, but once a vampire has tried to use their ability on me, or I've shielded someone with an extra ability, my shield kind of absorbs it, and I can use it whenever I want to. So I can read your mind if I want." Mom explained.

Dad looked at her disbelievingly. "You're joking right? You cant really read my mind can you?"

"Well, I try not to use any of the abilities I've absorbed, but sometimes I slip, and randomly read someone's mind, or mess with their emotions, or something like that," Mom said. "And I can do most things willingly. Me and Ness have been practising."

I leaned over and placed my hand on Dad's cheek, showing him some of our practice sessions. Me, feeling, hearing or seeing nothing. Me looking at an image of us on the moon. Me lying and Mom catching me out. More and more images flashed through our minds, as Dad's face grew more and more amazed.

"Why didn't you tell me!?" Dad demanded. "Can you do offensive, like Jane and Kate?"

"I don't really know," Mom admitted. "I've never tried. I don't want to hurt anyone, and anyway, Nessie is the only one who knows. We were careful about hiding it from Alice. And like I said, it's a pretty recent development." She explained.

Hm. I wouldn't have minded Mom practicing offensive on me - okay, it was kind of morbid, but I was curious. Mom and Dad both turned to me with identical expressions of horror. I gathered that they had both read my mind - having two mind-reading parents? This would be fun. Mom was lucky - she could block her mind if she wanted. I couldn't block, only show my thoughts. And right now I was thinking 'Oh crap.'

"Absolutely NOT, Renesmee Carlie Cullen! I am not using offensive on you because you are curious, or any other reason!" Mom was angry. Weird.

"Renesmee, do you remember when Bella was first learning to expand her shield?" Dad asked.

Of course I remembered. That was when the Volturi were coming to see us. Because of me, I might add. Dad frowned, but didn't mention my guilt.

"Yes. And Kate was using her electric current on me, while Bella tried to shield me. And It was painful, Ness. Very painful. You do not want that pain, simply because you are curious. Trust me."

I nodded. I also knew that Kate was not the only one who had used that kind of offensive on him. Aunt Rose had told me the story of how Mom went cliff-diving, and Aunt Alice thought she was committing suicide. Aunt Rose told Dad, he went to the Volturi, Mom went to save him, Jane - the girl witch twin - tried to use it on Mom, and Dad got in the way. Aunt Rose still felt guilty about her part in the whole thing.

I turned on my MP3 - I still had the one from my first Christmas - and quickly fell asleep.
