Chapter Two: Family Time (Renesmee's POV)

Not long after being dragged from the airport, kicking and screaming- okay, not really- I found myself in a small department store trying on clothes. I groaned every time Aunt Alice or Aunt Rosalie draped another article of clothing over the door. Each one was skimpy and so not a seventeen year olds rightful clothes. That was all I knew about what I was trying on. I tried not to think while putting the stuff on. Like my mom when forced on shopping trips, I dazed myself into a happy place. I didn't want to think or even see the damage I was trying on.

One of the millions of times I'd come out of the dressing room to show my aunts and uncles what I had on, Jasper and Emmett started laughing. Their laughs were loud and boisterous. At least Uncle Jazz tried to spare me and stifle his peels of laughter, but Emmett had no mercy. Then, just as I was going to turn away from them, they starting messing around and whistling at me.

That was embarrassing to the extreme! I looked down at what I was wearing for the first time and gasped. With a burst of flame, my cheeks exploded into red blush. I must have looked just like my mother had apparently looked when she blushed.

My legs were sheathed in dark black tights with a red mini skirt barely covering half my thighs. For a shirt, or I supposed that was what the piece of fabric was supposed to be because I'm really not convinced it should count as one, I had on a black tube top.

My blush became more profound until I could swear I was tomato red. I didn't think it could get any darker, but it did when I saw the other boys in the store staring. This was why my uncles were laughing. All the boys staring and how they knew I'd react was too much for them to hold in.

Damn! Emmett whistled, mockingly, again and said, "Nessie, you look good like that. But I'm absolutely positive Jakey would prefer the outfit without the tights."

More blush. How could that even be possible. It felt like all my blood was in my face already. I gave a low growl at him for the public remark and turned for the dressing room again. But before disappearing behind the door, I gave Uncle Emmett the finger.

It wasn't very lady like of me, but growing up with Jacob and Emmett was bound to have had its lasting effects. I mean, what with the constant language and the assortment of innuendos, along with the constant good-natured bickering, it's a wonder I'm not worse.

My uncle chuckled and said, "That's my niece," while Rosalie and Alice reprimanded my behavior before turning on the uncles.

When I closed the door, I stripped out of those stupid showy clothes and redressed in my sweats and Jake's shirt. There was still a mountain of untried clothes for me to put on, but all I wanted to do was go home. I didn't want or need any new clothes. I just wanted to be with my whole family again.

************

I hadn't wanted it, but I ended up with a short, formfitting silver/blue dress. It fell just above my knees, was strapless and had three diamonds embedded in the top. It was pretty, but completely unnecessary. I had a million unworn dresses in my closet that I could have worn if I wanted to. But I was just like my mom. I preferred what was comfortable and easy, not dresses galore.

We were just pulling into the Cullen clearing when I noticed all the cars. What the hell was going on? I had just got home, and there were a million people there? That was jacked up. I wanted alone time with my family. I shot a look at Alice, but she just smirked and shook her head.

I stepped out of the car as soon as the engine was turned off. The smells that came from the house were a large mix of vampire, human and werewolf. I was frustrated and curious now. I sprinted to the door, but paused with my hand on the knob. Inside, I could her the hushed breathing of the people inside. Everyone was stone quiet. There were pulses pounding in there as well. One I knew better than all. Jacob was in there too. Was he in on what ever was going on too?

I opened the door and walked into a dark entry. Not a second later, the room exploded into light and I was greeted with a chorus of, "Welcome Home Renesmee Black!"

I was frozen in place. All the blood in my body rushed to my cheeks. They were all there- Grandpa Charlie, Aunty Sue, Billy, Leah, Nahuel, Sam, Emily, still pregnant, their little boy; Todd; Lily, Clair, Quil, Rachael, Paul, Embry, Briana, Kim, Jared, Colin, Terra, Ashley and Brady. Then, of course, my vampire family, too, were there. All were there to welcome Jake and me home.

My husband bounded over to me as Emmett, Rosalie, Alice and Jasper slipped into the house behind me. Jake put his arm around my waist and pecked me on the cheek. Then, our friends and family bombarded us. It seemed like a million hands were trying to make contact, but there wasn't enough of us for everyone to hug at once. I was greeted by all the guys and then pulled over to stand with all my girl friends. Rachael, my sister-in-law, wrapped me in a huge hug and started asking a million questions at once.

"Did Jake treat you right while you were gone? Did you have a nice time? Where exactly did you to honeymoon?"

Leah, my best friend, had to rein her in before I had to answer in a waterfall of words just to keep up. Her arms replaced my sister-in-law's for a tight hug. I was looking over Leah's shoulder in the hug, when I noticed Kim. She had a little bump going on her stomach. Oh my God! She was pregnant! I let go of my best friend and went over to Kim.

"So, how long has your little tike been known about?" I asked her. Kim's eyes seemed to just gleam with joy. She put her hand over her stomach lovingly and smiled brilliantly.

"Jared and I just found out two weeks ago. But I had been pregnant for like two before I went to a doctor. We would have called you, but we didn't want to disturb either you or Jake. So we decided to just tell you when you returned."

I congratulated her and gave Kim a gentle hug. Then I turned to Briana, Ashley and Terra. All of whom I already knew were within two or three months of their pregnancies. Emily was the furthest along though. She was due in like a couple of weeks. She had called and told me that Sam had finally agreed to know the gender, and that it was going to be a little girl. I gave them each hugs, and turned to Clair and hugged her.

Then, finally, I turned to Lily. She still looked sad, but I could tell she was coping. It would take more than a month to get to live life normally again, but she still looked okay. She gave me a weak, but still with a shadow of happiness, smile. I returned the smile and wrapped her in a hug.

"I missed you Renesmee!" she said in my ear, "It's nice to have all my friends around again."

I could feel the warm tears falling from her face onto my shoulder. I held her tighter and told her everything would be okay. This was always going to be tough on her now, seeing all the happy couples, most of them pregnant. I felt for her. Lily had suffered a loss that no one should ever have to go through so early on. Seth had been an amazing guy and I hoped that, with the help of her friends, Lily would be able to laugh, smile and live again. That would be my goal for a while. To get her to laugh and be the girl with so much life I used to know.

The rest of they day went by nicely. My friends and family had moved into the game room Emmett had added and were holding a sports competition on the Wii. Jasper had bought a huge, almost theatre sized television, so everyone could see what was going on. Jacob and Emmett were going at it with Wii boxing now, while everyone cheered them on. Surprisingly, Jake was beating my Uncle and racking up the points. He ended up topping Emmett's high score with a hundred more points than my uncle had had.

This was the best welcome home gift ever. But, all good times have to end for those who sleep. So everyone left for home about one in the morning, while Jake and I curled up on the couch. He and I would need to go house hunting. We could just stay on the couch our whole existences. And I really would prefer that my father wasn't in the vicinity every night. That's what we'd do tomorrow. Start looking for a house.
