(A/N I feel really bad doing this story line but I was curious at how they would cope with moving back to Forks - I appologise for any offence caused haha, it even offended me slightly.)
Chapter Two:
"Bella. Bella!" Emmett said while pulling on my arm. "People are looking."
I let Emmett lead me towards the entrance and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "Sheesh Bells, you were the one that was worried about getting noticed and there you are standing in the middle of the parking lot getting soaked by rain. Not exactly normal behaviour, little sis."
"Sorry, this is just really... weird for me."
He laughed his booming laugh, "Weird? Compare whatever it is your feeling to coming into this exact school and having your brother freak out on you because he wants to kill this girl, but is also madly in love with her... Now that's weird!"
"Touche!" I replied, shaking my head slightly. We reached the others and all walked into school together.
Edward held my hand tightly. "We can go back home if you want to?"
"I'm fine Edward, really." I smiled and I silently thanked Jasper for the confidence he was sending me. I think that he was probably sending waves of it to everyone. We were all nervous today.
"Jasper," Edward said, "You want to take it from here?"

"... Grandpa, I've had an idea!"
"What is it my oh-so precious grand-daughter? You know, you make me feel older every time you call me that!" He said as he playfully tossing her hair.
She laughed angelically, "Get off! Anyway I was thinking, If Bella's worried about us being recognised," I hated it when she called me Bella, she was still my daughter. "Then maybe the 'Cullens' don't have to return to Forks..." Everyone was silent. I don't think anyone understood.
I looked at Edward. He sat there motionless looking at Carlisle. "I don't know Ness, you're asking a lot. It's who we are. It's more than a name."
"What's going on Edward?" Alice said. She hated being clueless about the future, but it happened a lot when it concerned Renesmee.
Edward looked at Renesmee. "Well, I was thinking... maybe we don't have to be the Cullen's this time? Maybe we could use another surname." She awaited a reply from anyone, but we were all lost for words. "I mean... no one would be able to make the connection. It's a small town and there must be records of us living there under the name Cullen. This would be the perfect cover."
After a few moments silence – which was very rare in this house – Carlisle spoke. "Well I think it's a good idea. Especially if I'm planning on getting a job at the hospital. What name is it that you're suggesting Renesmee?"
"That's not the only thing she's thought of." Edward interrupted.
"You're such a spoil-sport!" She laughed. She addressed Carlisle. "Ok, how about this... we change the whole family grouping. Jasper and Rose can be you're biological niece and nephew, Emmett, Alice and Bella can be biological brother and sisters which you fostered, myself and Edward can be twins that you have recently fostered. And Jacob, well Jacob could either en-role himself in the school or stay at the reservation." She said resting a hand on his shoulder.
It was a lot to process – even for a vampire. Emmett was the first to speak. "Well I say we do it! Would be nice to jumble things up for a change!"
"I can't see any problems," Alice added, "as long as we don't slip up – we've been the Cullen's for a long time."
"I don't have a problem with it." Rosalie said. "But then again, I've never really used that name anyway."
"Are you sure you don't mind Carlisle? Esme?" I asked. "It's your name after all."
"It's not just a name Bella, it's the essence of who we are." Edward argued.
"What's in a name, Edward? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Carlisle quoted in a theatrical manner. "I think it's a great idea, Renesmee."
Nessie smiled. "So whose name are we going to use?" She asked, looking around the room.

We all walked through the entrance into the front office.
"Hello," Jasper said to the lady behind the desk. "We're the Whitlocks."
