Carlisle's POV

The heartbeat was quieter than normal as a trudged up the stairs to speak with Nessie. It got fainter by the second. I arched my eyebrow in confusion as I opened the door slowly. It was empty.

At that moment, I felt incredibly absurd. She ran out, I thought. Under immature thoughts and accusations, Renesmee Cullen ran out. I did say talk, didn't I? Just to speak.

I sprinted down the old wooden steps and said, "Nessie bolted."

Jacob stood up and got right in my face. "Good job, Doc." He shoved my shoulder not too lightly to push me out of the way. "Now I have to start search for the fourth time this month. Quil is going to hate me," he growled before he closed the door quietly behind him. That was a first.

As if it were planned, Edward and Bella appeared into the now flustered living room.

"We got some things for the new house…" Bella exclaimed before catching up to the mood. "What's going on? Did someone slip up?" she continued to question. Edward sighed and rubbed his temples.

"What has gone into that girl?" he whispered petulantly before he dropped the shopping bags and sprinted out the door again. Bella just stared at the swung open door for a few seconds.

"Someday, my patience will run out and it'll be a swift kick in the balls," my daughter-in-law scowled at the ground. Alice's snicker lightened up the mood.

"You need some help with that, sister? I've wanted to do that for quite a while now…" she grinned evilly.

"Ladies, let's not take things too far," I eyed them knowingly and was responded with two sighs.

Bella predicted the events effortlessly. It happened many times. Renesmee gets upset. Jacob runs after her. Edward come home and read everyone's minds. He growls and storms out to bring them both back, half expecting Jacob to be scolding his daughter but finds them in a full-on make out session.

Somewhere in that process, our front door and a couple other things break. "Let's get the supplier on the line. We need another door," I said out of the blue.

Alice, of course, already had her ear pressed to her cell before I finished my sentence. I had no idea how furious Edward would be when he found Ness and Jake. Life without Jasper could get chaotic. Some psychology lessons from him would be nice, also.

Just in time, Jacob came into the door with Nessie slung over his shoulder. She was struggling, grabbing his hair and cursing. Edward walked in smirking with his hands leisurely in his pockets.

"Mongrel finally did something right," he said after a couple awkward seconds.

"I'm afraid we need to get Jasper back. We'd have nowhere to store our things if these kids won't control themselves." A thin smile cracked through my lips.

Alice lifted up her finger and told the supplier that we wouldn't need the door. Then she dialed again and the other line picked up immediately.

"Jazz? We need you to come home right now. Small crisis, that's all," she explained. Then just as quickly, she hung up.

"He'll be back in forty minutes," Alice informed us. We all nodded silently.

"If you could excuse me, I need to talk to my very troublesome teenage daughter." He gave an awkward bow and headed for the stairs.

"That just saved me a long night of arguing with Ness." Bella let out a long sigh of relief. We chuckled again.

"Aren't we glad Emmett and Rose aren't here right now? The house would be torn down by now," Esme informed.

I turned on the television. "Some entertainment to distract ourselves until Jasper comes home?" I said.

Renesmee's POV

"Let me go, Jacob Black!" I shouted. I run five miles into the forest and they haul me back in three minutes. I was in so much trouble.

A/N: This is scarily short, I know. Please forgive me. First week of high school (which is grade eight in where I live) and I'm all jittery. I just haven't updated in a long time I thought I'd let y'all know that I'm still continuing this story. Thanks for sticking around! For some strange reason… I got twitter. My name on it is IBelieveInNessie and I'll try to keep that up, too. Thanks for stickin' around!
