Sorry for the wait again, I've been really busy but here is long awaited third chapter. Sorry its so short it was pretty difficult to write since the story doesnt have much action yet. Also, if this chapter seems familiar I tweaked the old Renesmee's Childhood chapter that dealt with the same content as this chapter.

Chapter 3: Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

Bella POV

Paradise- Coldplay

For the next few months, life went on normally. No threats from the Volturi, no unexpected visitors and nothing coming between my family and I. It was now that I was finally living the life I had always dreamed for myself, and I couldn't be any happier.

"Mommy," Renesmee's voice floated in the room before she did.

"Yes baby?" I asked, when I saw her beautiful little face in front of mine. She sat down next to me, placing her head on my shoulder. At this moment I knew she wanted something,whenever she was vying to get something, she would sit like this with Edward, not that he could ever refuse her but either way it became her signature stance.

"Where's Daddy?"

"He went hunting with Uncle Emmett. I'm sure he'll be home soon, was there something you needed?" I asked

"Yeah actually-" her sentence was cut off by the opening and closing of the door.

"Bella, Nessie? I'm home." Edward's voice filled the cottage and both Renesmee and I were up and greeting him within seconds.

"In the living room," I called and he appeared a fraction of a second later.

"Hey," I said getting up off of the couch and kissing him softly.

"Well hello to you too," He replied against my lips.

"Mommy, Daddy! I want to talk to you guys about something." Renesmee's voice filled the room.

"You have the floor," Edward said.

"Well, I was wondering if I could go to school maybe. It's just that I want to make new friends outside our family and the wolves and experience public school instead of boring old homeschooling." I was taken back a bit, it didn't really make sense to me. Renesmee had never known anything different than homeschool. She had always been so secluded in our little world. I couldn't help but wonder if she just wanted to go to school because of the fake versions of school she had seen on the Disney Channel. I just didn't want my baby girl to get hurt in the real world of public schooling.

"I'm going to have to speak about it more with Daddy as well as Grandpa Carlisle. Its not a no, its a maybe, so don't let your hopes down, but don't expect it to be a yes either okay?" I told her in my stern mother voice.

She knew not to question me or whine when I used it. Renesmee skipped out of the room to allow Edward and I to talk more in depth and privately.

"So, what do you think about it? The whole school situation?" I asked, starting off the conversation.

"I think it should be okay but we need to speak with Carlisle, I am not the one to make the decisions when it comes down to medical reasoning due to her fast growth and superior mentality."

"I undertsand completely. The decision is up to him at this point, but lets not delay it. Is he home? I said grabbing his hand and pulling him off the bench and towards Carlisle's office.

"Carlisle?" Edward calling, walking to the door of his office, knocking twice and gently pushing the door open.

"Yes?" He answered, motioning us to come inside

"Renesmee is adamant that she want to start school. Public school." Edward said, pulling us into the office, and sitting us down, keeping his hand in mine.

"I'm going to have to think about that. There are several contributing factors we need to discuss, such as their thirst, aging, and not giving our secret away."

"I do think it may be okay for Renesmee if she believes she can handle herself, she won't noticeably be aging any faster than the normal human anymore, correct?" Carlisle said asking for reassurance since we spent the most time with her.

"Yes. As of last month her aging has slowed to a human's pace." I said.

"Then, I believe it would be okay for her to enter schooling. That is if it's okay with you too" He said, gesturing to Edward and I.

"It's nice knowing we have the option but there is still more we need to discuss. We'll get back to you" Edward said as he pulled me out of the room.

"So...do you think school's a good idea?" I asked Edward, after he pulled us onto his bed.

"I think it would be okay, we have to tell her the rules first, but she's smart, I think she can handle it, and we will always be close by." He murmured against my lips.

"I know she can, I just don't want public school to be hard for her. It was never easy for me. What with bullies and not many friends. I just always want her to be happy, you know?" I said, voicing my concerns. Edward kissed my lips lightly.

"Love, I don't think its possible for someone to not like Renesmee. I know she's our child and we always want her happy but she needs to start experiencing the world sooner or later.

"Okay, you're right. Let's go tell Ness our decision. " I said, trying to pry my hands out of his grasp.

"One hour wouldn't hurt" He grinned and I rolled my eyes and turned back to face him.

We spent longer than an hour away, and it was nearly six o'clock when we finally emerged from our bedroom. As we walked down the stairs, I saw Renesmee look up expectantly towards us, and stood up from Jacob's lap to walk over to us.

"Did you decide?" She asked over and over again

"Well..." I started

"Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes" She chanted

"Your father and I have decided that if you listen to the rules and boundaries we set, and promise to be a good girl, then there is no reason you can't go to school" I smiled

"I WILL I WILL! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!" She screamed, nearly blowing out everyone's eardrums

"Renesmee" I scolded

"Calm down, now" I finished

"Yes Mommy," She said in a now normal voice.

"Now should we go over the rules you must follow at school?" I asked.

"Fine by me," She said and joined Edward and I on the couch with Carlisle to discuss.

"Okay well, first, Esme and Carlisle are going to be your parents for everything relating to school, if your friends ask you how your parents are, you say their names. If your friends come over, you introduce them as your parents" Edward told her.

"Okay, that seems easy enough." She replied.

"You also can't bite humans, show your strength or act older than your physical age."

"Okay, so now that that's out of the way, lets go over the full speech you should give people who ask about your family. Ready?" She nodded towards Edward, who was beginning a long rant.

"Your biological parents died when you were young in a car crash. They only surviving family member you had left was your brother, aka me, and Carlisle and Esme adopted us both as well as Rosalie, and Jasper, who will be playing biological twins. Bella will be my girlfriend, and you will spend the most time with us, because I will be your real sibling, and it's the easiest explanation for why you are always with us because you can't tell people we're your parents. Alice and Emmett will be married into the family, and all of your aunts and uncles will be your adopted brothers and sisters, or spouses of them. Did you understand everything?" He asked.

" do I start school?"

"After winter break ends so in about a 'll also need to get your supplies sometime before then as well." I answered.

"Okay!" She exclaimed running over to give us a hug. I loved seeing the smile the thought and prospect of school put on her face and I was instantly glad I let Edward and Ness talk me into this idea because her happiness was worth it and should never have to suffer because of my insane worries. I just prayed everything would end up okay.

Hopefully I can have chapter four up sooner than this one took but no promises. Thanks for sticking with me through all the long waits and the next chapter things will start to get interesting and new characters will be introduced so stay tuned.
