A/N: Thanks for the reviews! I hope you enjoy this chapter!


"You have everything?

"Yes."

"And you know the rules?"

"Yes Dad."

Edward, Bella, Nessie and Jacob all sat in Edward's silver Volvo which was currently parked right outside Forks High School. Edward was leaned over the front drivers seat to talk to his daughter and Jacob. Nessie was practically bouncing in her seat, occasionally glancing towards the school where students were piling in. Jacob on the other hand was slumped in the seat next to her with his head rested against the window, frowning.

Bella smiled softly at the happenings around her and then turned to look out the window. She watched all the students walking around the parking lot and into the school. It was nearly a decade since she was a student there but it seemed like just yesterday that she was getting out of her old red pick up truck and dreading her first day at Forks High School. She could picture Mike Newton and Jessica, Angela too. She remembered seeing the Cullens for the first time and how Edward seemed utterly repulsed by her. Was it really just a decade ago that she was just meeting Edward for the first time? That she had no idea what he was and why he hated her? And now she was living his life? She was married to him, sitting next to him and watching him be a father to their daughter who was starting her first day at the same school.

She turned back to look at Nessie and Jacob after she was pulled out of her silent reverie.

"And you know the story right?"

Nessie nodded. "My parents died a couple of years ago; I was in foster care for a couple of years until Dr. Cullen found me and adopted me."

"And if anyone asks about why you look like me or Bella?"

"Just a coincidence." She answered surely.

Edward smiled. "That's my girl."

Nessie grinned. "Can we go now please?!"

Edward chuckled. "Yes, you can go." He looked to Bella and she nodded. They both got out of the car so Nessie and Jacob could get out. They couldn't help but notice the students around that stopped and stared at them. Edward was used to this of course, he and his family got looks at whatever school they went to. He clenched his jaw when he heard some of the teenage boys thinking about Bella.

Even more students stopped and stared when Nessie and Jacob got out of the car. Most of them were baffled by Jacob's height. Although, Edward had to hold back a growl when he heard most of the males thoughts were about Nessie.

However, his mood lifted when he saw Nessie's face light up upon seeing the school. She looked over the whole school and even smiled at some students who were passing them. Some of them gave her weird looks while some stared at her with goo goo eyes. That time Edward wasn't the only one who noticed them. Jacob didn't like the way they were looking at her so he stepped up next to her and slung an arm around her shoulder. Nessie looked up at him and her grin widened. The other boys got the hint and continued on their way without looking back.

Jacob glanced at Edward and instead of receiving a glare like he expected, Edward gave him a curt nod. He knew that out of anyone, Edward would want Nessie with Jacob. Jacob returned the nod and then turned back to smile at Nessie.

Nessie was completely oblivious to what was going on around her. All that was on her mind was getting into school. Her family was great, she loved her family with all her heart, but she also wanted more. She wanted to get out and have as a normal life as she could. As a half vampire with a vampire family and a werewolf best friend, she couldn't really have a normal life but she wanted something outside the Cullens home. And she could blend in with the humans better considering she was half human and had more human like qualities than the rest of the Cullens. She also wanted to make friends apart from her family. She loved going shopping with Alice and playing tricks on people with Emmett but she wanted another friend. A human friend.

"Just be careful Renesmee." She jumped when she heard her father's voice directly behind her. She turned around out of Jacob's hold and saw Edward giving her a serious look. She had forgotten for a minute that her father could read minds.

"I will Da…er, Edward." Bella and Edward had explained to her that she couldn't let anyone know that they were her parents. And especially calling them 'mom and dad' in public would be no good at all. So she had to refer to her own parents by their first names when they weren't alone.

"I know you want friends Renesmee but you know we can't get too close to humans." Edward said lowly.

Nessie nodded and hung her head. "I know." She replied, dejectedly.

She lifted her head when she felt Edward's finger tap under her chin and she looked up at him. "I'm just warning you not too get too attached to a human. We can't stay in one place for too long and when we have to leave you will never able to see that person again."

Nessie frowned and the brightness in her eyes seemed to be fading. Bella noticed the change in her daughter's demeanor and quickly walked over to them. She linked arms with her husband. "Edward, don't ruin her mood." She looked at Nessie. "Nessie, he's right but don't let that stop you from meeting someone. If you meet someone who you instantly feel you can have a friendship with don't be afraid to pursue that. It is better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all."

"I beg to differ." Edward remarked under his breath. Bella could easily hear it but to anyone around them it looked like Edward just moved his lips incredibly fast. Bella glanced up at him and their eyes met and both of them instantly remembered when Edward left shortly after Bella's 18th birthday. To Bella it was only little flashes of memory but she could still remember the pain. She gave Edward's hand a squeeze and Edward kissed her forehead.

Nessie watched the exchange between her parents. She had been told the incredible story of her parents' life before she was born many times. She knew the memory of that caused them much grief. So, she decided to change the subject.

A smile broke her somber appearance. "Don't worry, I'll be careful. Besides, I've got Jacob to help me." She motioned her heads towards Jacob who looked like his thoughts were else where. Edward turned a stern glance his way and cleared his throat. Jacob jumped out of his thoughts and caught all the Cullens staring at him.

"Oh, sorry…" He directed that comment mostly at Edward who was still giving him a hard look. He had also been thinking about when Edward left Bella all those years ago and the pain she was in and how it took him so long to get her out of it.

Jacob immediately directed his thoughts back to how much he disliked going back to school and Edward gave him a thankful nod.

"Have a good day, Nessie." Bella said to Nessie, placing her hand upon her daughters shoulder.

Nessie grinned. "I'm sure I will…Bella." She couldn't help the weird look that crossed her face and Bella smiled in amusement. Bella unlinked herself from Edward and gave her a hug. She very quickly kissed her cheek before pulling away.

"Mom." Nessie very quietly mumbled, only audible to vampire ears, looking down in embarrassment.

Bella laughed. "Sorry Nessie, I couldn't help myself."

Edward just gave Nessie a half hug and wished her good luck. Nessie smiled up at him, thanked him and then walked over to Jacob's side. "Come on Jake!" She took his wrist and started to pull him toward the school.

"Have fun Jake!" Bella called after him and laughed when Jacob looked over his shoulder and rolled his eyes. Edward smirked, kissed the side of her head and then walked with her back to the Volvo.


Nessie walked through the hallways of Forks High School with a big smile on her face. She heard many whispers throughout the halls and saw many weird looks shot at them. But she chose to ignore them and even waved at some of the people. She saw a lot of people were in their own groups and never talked to anyone else.

She passed the jocks, the foot ball players and the cheerleaders. They were all hanging all over each other and the girls wore short skirts and tank tops while the guys wore their jerseys. However, the ones that weren't on a boy, gave flirtatious looks towards Jacob and mouthed 'call me'. Nessie frowned and quickly glanced at Jacob. To her big surprise, he seemed to be ignoring them and when he caught her looking at him, he grinned.

She smiled, blushed and looked away. She didn't like feeling jealous whenever some other girl even gave Jacob a look. Jacob was her best friend, not her boyfriend. There was no reason for her to be jealous. Not that she didn't wish he was though….

Different cliques of every different type of person littered the hallways and Nessie felt utterly lost. Her only comfort was Jacob, who she knew would protect her from anything. She looked down at the schedule in her hands and sighed heavily, realizing she had no idea where any of these classrooms were.

It also didn't help much that she and Jacob didn't share that many classes. They were enrolled in the same grade, considering Jacob was technically 16, and Nessie could easily pull off 16. But the way they're schedules were worked out, they only had lunch, PE, science and math together. And all of those classes weren't until the end of the day so she was on her own until lunch.

She was excited for school, extremely excited but she was also intimidated. Even though she looked sixteen, she was still seven on the inside and had not had the previous public school experience that the rest of the kids in the school did.

Jacob helped her find her first class, told her he would see her at lunch and then went to find his first class.

The first half of her day went pretty well, except for the few times that she got lost trying to find her classes. Some of the students were nice though and helped her find her way, seeing that she was obviously new.

The period before her lunch period with Jake was perhaps the most interesting. As soon as she walked into the classroom, a young man who looked to old to be a student took one look at her with wide eyes and asked, "Bella?"

Nessie's eyebrows furrowed and she shook her head. "No…"

"Oh I'm sorry." He apologized quickly and walked back to the big desk at the front of the room.

Nessie thought that was incredibly weird and headed to one of the empty seats. She saw kids talking to each other who were obviously friends and she felt a little out of place but smiled and listened to everyone's different conversations.

A boy with short brown hair sat down next to her and Nessie turned to him to be friendly and smiled. He smiled back and looked like he was about to speak when the man who called her Bella walked out from behind his desk and in front of the class.

"Hello class, I will be your English teacher this year, my name is Mr. Newton."

The class grumbled a hello with the few exceptions, including Nessie, who greeted him happily with a, "Hi Mr. Newton."

"As our first order of business I will take attendance." He held out a piece of paper and started to call off the names. He went in alphabetical order, going through the A's, then the B's, then the C's…

"Tara Cook?"

A blonde girl a couple of seats away from her rose her hand.

"Renesmee Cul…len." His voice trailed off when he said her last name. She raised her hand and she saw Mr. Newton stare at her in shock. She lowered her hand and sunk in her seat. What was with this weird teacher?

Mr. Newton shook his head and soon continued with the names until he got through the whole class. Then he handed out the syllabus and started to go over it. They finished with time to spare so Mr. Newton gave them the rest of the period off.

The other students busied themselves in talking and the boy who was next to her, whose name was Hunter, turned to her.

"Hi." He greeted.

She smiled. "Hi." She replied happily.

"So your name's Renesmee huh? That's an interesting name."

Nessie nodded and shrugged. "Yeah, well it's a combination of my grandmothers' names so…"

"Oh that's cool." Hunter responded and smiled at her.

"Yeah, but everybody usually calls me Nessie."

"Nessie." He repeated and then nodded with a smile. "I like that." He stuck out his hand for her. "It's nice to meet you Nessie."

Nessie smiled back at him and shook his hand. "It's nice to meet you too Hunter."

They continued to small talk until the end of the period. Hunter offered to take Nessie to her next class but Nessie refused politely, telling him that she's meeting her friend. She went to walk out of the classroom when Mr. Newton stopped her.

"Do you know an Edward or Bella Cullen?" He asked her quietly.

Nessie swallowed and tried to instantly recall the story that her father told her to say to anyone. She nodded and responded quietly, "Yeah…they're my siblings." She squirmed under the intense gaze the teacher was giving her. "I…I gotta go." Before he could ask anymore questions she high tailed it out of the room and towards the cafeteria.

She met Jacob in the cafeteria and told her about her weird English teacher and how he knew Edward and Bella. Jacob asked what the teachers name was. Nessie told him and Jacob burst out into laughter, remembering Mike Newton very well.

When Nessie asked what was so funny Jacob told her "nothing" and changed the subject. Perhaps Jacob wouldn't tell her, but her creepy teacher would be on her mind when she got home and her father would surely hear it.

She had the rest of her classes with Jacob which she was glad for because she had someone to talk to. Her teachers were nice and so were most of the kids in her classes. She had a few goofballs and jerks who teased about Jacob's height. Although Jacob showed them who was boss when he rose to his full height and towered over them, intimidating them. Some didn't seem afraid of him even at his full height. If only they knew what he really was, they'd be running for the hills.

Her cheeks turned very red throughout the course of the day from all the cat calls, stares and whispers she got. She didn't fail to notice how Jacob would glare at all of the guys who did those things.

She was already very beautiful from having two vampires as parents but what Alice dressed her in didn't really help her cause. Alice and Rosalie were all about showing off what they possessed. Their beauty and their style. Nessie got her traits from her mother when it came to that. She did like to dress up more than her mother did but she didn't like to show it off. She would like to dress up in front of her family but having that much attention, especially from teenage boys, was not something she was used to.

Much unlike her mother, Renesmee was very good at and enjoyed sports. That might have been due in part to her half vampire genes. She had all the strength of a vampire and could not be hurt by flying balls. Jacob also had a lot of fun in PE, using his height as an advantage against the other boys in basketball. Nessie, after watching him for most of the time, joined in with him and the guys instead of the girls just tossing balls into the hoops on the other side of the gymnasium. The humans were shocked at how well she played with them and how Jacob didn't seem to be going easy on her.

When school ended, they went outside looking for Edward's silver Volvo. However what they came across was Emmett and his Monster Jeep Wrangler. Emmett popped his head out of the sky light and waved furiously at them.

The whole student body caught sight of Emmett and his monster jeep and stared, slack jawed. Jacob and Nessie pushed their way through the crowds until they got to the jeep.

"I call shot gun!" Jacob exclaimed and pulled open the passenger door. Nessie rolled her eyes and hopped in the back of the jeep. Emmett plopped back down into his seat, grinning at both of them.

"Where are Edward and Bella?" Jacob asked.

Emmett's grinned widened. "They disappeared into the cottage hours ago…I didn't want to disturb them."

Nessie's face scrunched up. "Ew…too much information Emmett. Not a mental image of my parents that I want thank you."

Emmett's laugh boomed throughout the jeep and Jacob smirked but nodded to Nessie. He was also not a fan of thinking about certain activities that Edward and Bella do. Emmett started the engine and pulled out of the parking lot and raced towards the Cullens.

When they got home, they were surprised to see Edward and Bella waiting for them inside the Cullen's house. As well as Alice and Esme.

Emmett, as soon as he walked in, grinned at Edward and Bella. Edward gave him a stern look. "Before you say anything Emmett, we were not doing what you were thinking."

"Sure." Emmett grinned at them once more before taking up the stairs to find Rosalie.

Nessie and Jacob looked at each other awkwardly and tried not to look at Edward and Bella. Once her thoughts were cleared of what Emmett told her in the car, Nessie put her plan into action about trying to get her father to reveal about Mr. Newton.

Suddenly, Edward let out a low growl. "We can never get rid of him."

Bella looked to Edward in confusion, Nessie in hope and Jacob in amusement. Jacob knew exactly who he was talking about and chuckled.

"Get rid of who Edward?"

"Mike Newton." He growled, narrowing his eyes, staring directly at Nessie.

Bella's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Mike Newton? The Mike Newton we went to high school with?"

Edward nodded. "He's Nessie's English teacher."

"What did he say to you Nessie?" Bella asked. Instead of telling them, Nessie reached out and touched both of them to show them everything that Mike said to her.

"Who is he Dad?" Nessie asked after she pulled away.

Edward shared a quick glance with Bella and sighed quietly. Turning back to Nessie he explained, "He was a friend of your mothers when we were in High School. He liked her very much and asked her out on very many occasions even though he could clearly see that we were together. He also disliked me for the simple fact that I had Bella and he didn't."

"So he was jealous?" Nessie said as a statement rather than a question.

"Very much so." Bella nodded. "All the boys wanted my attention in High School. But none of them really ever appealed to me. Mike was nice." Edward huphed. "But I didn't feel that spark. I was the strange one who fell in love with a vampire who wanted to kill me."

Edward smirked. "Magnet for danger she is."

"So…is he like a threat?" Nessie asked, referring back to Mike.

Edward huffed. "A threat? Against eight vampires and a wolf? Hardly. I don't think he'll do anything. You told him you were our sibling which is good. He'll most likely believe that. After all, he does think we're human and it is not humanly possible for us to have a child in high school." He growled quietly. "But I wouldn't put it past him if he's thinking about you right now." He glanced at Bella.

"I'm sure he and Jessica are married." Bella responded.

Edward gave her a look. "That doesn't change a thing. He was thinking about you on our wedding day and he was with Jessica then. He's a pig. He better not think a single inappropriate thing about Nessie."

Nessie's face scrunched up in disgust. "Ew Dad, he's my teacher."

Edward turned to look at her, his eyebrows raised. "You don't know Mike Newton." He said pointedly.

"English class is going to be so weird from now on…" She muttered and then shuddered at the thought of Mr. Newton thinking about her in inappropriate ways. She knew Edward heard her thoughts when he growled again.

None of them noticed that Alice was still in the room until she glided over up next to Nessie.

"Bella, do you mind if I steal your daughter?"

"I-"

"Great!" She grabbed Nessie's hand and dragged her up the stairs. "So tell me everything!"

Bella sighed, shaking her head. Edward chuckled beside her and Bella looked at Jacob. "So how was your day Jacob?"

Jacob put on an obviously smile. "Great, school was wonderful! The best time of my life! I love school!"

"Jacob."

"It was boring, what do you think Bells? Oh, apart from the whole Mike Newton thing though because that was hysterical." He laughed earning a stern look from Edward and Bella.

"Jake, why don't you go chase your tail or something?"

Jacob frowned and gave Bella a mocking look. "Very funny Bells. Why don't you go suck something's blood?"

"Oh!" She turned to Edward. "That's a good idea. I need to go hunting, do you want to come?"

A disgusted look crossed Jacob's face. "I was kidding…"

Bella ignored Jacob's statement and continued. "Being around all those humans at the high school today really sparked my thirst."

Edward nodded. "Yes, I'll come with you love."

"I'll go see if anyone else wants to come along." Without another word, Bella rushed off to find the others.

Edward looked and Jacob and Jacob looked at Edward. Edward smiled at the thoughts running through Jacob's head and Jacob shook his head. He shifted his backpack on his back. He started up the stairs to his room muttering, "Disgusting bloodsuckers…" under his breath.
