It still felt strange to drive up to the small two bedroom house that I had lived in for the past two years, like I was just driving back from an afternoon with Edward after school. But instead of being in my old Chevy truck I was in Alice's yellow Porshce, and high school has been over for almost a year.

I could hear Charlie watching the game from outside. He still didn't know what we were exactly so I wasn't sure what to tell him. Charlie needed to be kept on a need to know basis or else we would have even more issues with the Volturi. I took a deep breath and walked towards to door.

"Dad?" I called as I walked through the doorway. The house hadn't changed in years, it was almost like taking a step back into my old life. Charlie was sitting on the couch with his things from work hung up by the door.

"In here Bells," He said unnecessarily loud. I would never get used to my extra hearing. I was at least twenty feet away but I could hear his heart beat loud and clear. Ugh, hearts, heart beats, blood, bad. I shouldn't think of that especially around Charlie. Just at the thought of the word I could feel the bloodthirsty newborn stir inside of me. I refocused my thoughts and walked into the living-room.

"Hey Dad." I leaned down to give him a n awkward hug. I could see the shock on his face when he touched my cold skin. I quickly, a little too quickly, straightened back up and sat down on the couch next to him.

"How are you doing kiddo?"

"Unfortunately not so great."

"What's going on?"

"Dad, do you remember how I said before that I couldn't promise that we wouldn't move?" He let out a long sigh before answering.

"I knew this was going to happen eventually."

"Sorry Dad, I wish we didn't have to but we don't really have a choice anymore."

Charlie started to protest but then stopped and muttered, "Need to know."

"Yeah, but you have to understand that I don't want to. I want you in my life, and Renesme's too, but it's not safe for us to stay."

"When are you leaving?"

"A day or so," I said quietly, I knew this would shock him the most. Charlie's expression was as bad as I imagined. It was a mix of surprise, confusion and sadness.

"Why so soon?"

"Like I said, it's not safe for us here anymore."

"Can I see Renesme before you leave?"

"Of course, and we still plan on keeping in touch."

"You better," he mumbled, "and where are you going anyway?"

"New Hampshire, I might even try to go to some classes at Dartmouth, that is if they still take me."

"They will Bells, they will." I could see him starting to tear up."

"Aw Dad," I gave him another hug.

"I'm fine. I always knew you would leave at some point."

"Sorry Dad." I looked down at my hands, not quite able to look him in the eye.

"You should probably go help pack, it's a lot of stuff to put away in a day."

"You know Alice, it's practically all packed up already."

He let out a quiet chuckle.

"How's Nessie doing with all this?"

"Surprisingly well, I think she's just happy that Jake is going with us." Whoops, was I not supposed to say that. Charlie's looked at me questioningly. He didn't know the extent of Jacob's relationship with our family. All he knew was that our friendship was stronger then ever, and that Jake adored Renesme.

"Jacob is going with you across the country? What does Billy think of this?" Luckily I had become better at lying since I couldn't blush and give myself away anymore.

"Well, Jake's been thinking of uh... moving to somewhere besides La Push for a while, so I guess it just worked out so that he could do that and he's going to stay with us so he doesn't have to buy a house for himself. Billy knows and he's gunna miss him but he understands why he is going." I looked into Charlie's eyes trying to feign confidence. I knew this story was bogus but hopefully he would buy it.

"He's not even out of highschool yet."

"Technically since he's old enough to do what he wants with the whole school thing. But Carlise offered to give him some lessons at home if Jacob wanted." That wasn't technically true because Jacob made it pretty obvious that he didn't want to do homeschooling. I remember the last time we talked about it he said, "It's not like I'm getting any older. I can just learn the stuff if you guys ever decide to go through highschool for the 50th time."

It was true though eventually we would go back to school again, and depending on how old she looked, Renesme might be joining us. I suddenly got a rush of maternal feelings. My baby was growing so fast, too fast. Most parents had over a decade to contemplate their kids in highschool, I only had three years at most.

Charlie coughed and awoke me from my thoughts.

"Sorry Dad, there's just a lot going on right now."

"This is all so sudden, can you tell me why it has to be so soon?"

"I can't then you would just become part of it. Need to know?" Please tell me I had at least one more abnormal event that I could use that excuse for.

"Yeah, yeah" Charlie scoffed.

"I should probably go help everyone pack. I'll bring Renesme here tomorrow before we go okay?"

"Yeah. Bring Jake and Edward too. As hard as it is for me to admit I'm gunna miss my son in-law." Edward and Charlie had bonded over ESPN since we had gotten married. I remember when he was only allowed in the house for scheduled periods of time. Not that Edward hadn't broken those rules but Charlie never knew about it. I didn't feel guilty because it wasn't like we were doing anything wrong or what my dad would have deemed inappropriate. Just spending time together.

"I will dad. Love you."

"Love you too Bells."

The drive back to the house went by quickly. It seemed like everything was in turbo mode. Just yesterday we were having a family outing, and now we were moving across the country.

I turned into the long drive way to find piles of boxes stacked up by the front of the house. It looked like Alice had to put a tent up to keep everything from getting wet. The average day in Forks was cold, rainy and green. I wonder if there will be different colors in New Hampshire. It was always green here. In a way it created a calm atmosphere, after all green is supposed to be the most relaxing color. A bit of change would be nice though.

I drove my car into the garage next to the house. The rest of the Cullen's fancy cars were surprisingly still sitting there. I wondered if they would even bother to take them with us, or just buy all new cars. I would never get used to having this sort of money. It wasn't exactly hard for them, having an accountant who could see the market changes before they actually happen.

I walked at human pace to the house. It was nice to just walk and look at all of the things that we would be leaving behind. Maybe one day we could come back, not for a long time but someday. Forks had grown on me after all.

Edward opened the front door to greet me as I walked onto the porch. He still looked unsteady but it wasn't as obvious as before. The thought of his face earlier gave me shivers. He had gone into full on protection mode, determined to make sure we got as far away from here as fast as possible. But now with everything set in motion he relaxed a little.

He walked up to me and wrapped his arms around me. I felt relief the moment out skin touched. It didn't matter where we were, as long as Edward was there, it would be home.

I let my shield down to show him my thoughts, it was more efficient then talking. Edward chuckled at lifted my chin up.

"I agree entirely. I love you Bella Cullen." I smiled. I loved it when I was called by my new name. It made me feel like I really belonged to Edward.

"I love you too." I kissed him, it was over too quick, like everything else had been the past day had been but I still felt the electric shock run through my body like always. We hadn't had much time together since this crisis began, hopefully once things settle down we can go back to normal.

"Would you like to see our new home?"

"I'm sure it will be beautiful."

"It is, Esme had all too much fun picking it out. Renesme saw the pictures and she loves it."

"Good, how is she doing with this whole thing? I haven't really been here to help her." I looked down at the ground. I should have been here when she woke up. Was she upset? Of course she was, Forks was all she knew.

"She is actually doing okay. She's sad but knows that we need to do this. Renesme's also happy that Jacob can go with us."

"I'm just relieved that she is handling this so well. She's so grown up." My thoughts automatically went back to horror of her short childhood. "Don't start this now." I thought to myself. I realized that I forgot that I had my shield down when Edward hugged me again.

"Just remember, we have forever with her."

"I know. Sorry this isn't exactly the best time for me to get all maternal."

"It's okay. Just think of all the years we have to get to know her. At the moment though we need to finish up packing."

"It looks like Alice has everything pretty much done." What could be left. By the looks of it the entire contents of the house was sitting out here on the front yard.

"She did take care of most of it. All we have left to do it just double check that we have everything. The movers are coming to pick all of this stuff up in a few hours."

"A few hours? This all is happening so fast." I felt as if I was going to faint even though I knew I couldn't.

"I know but we need to get out of this town. I can't risk you or Renesme being put in danger. Though I would love to be able to fight the Volturi, to have some sort of revenge on all of the trouble they have put us through."

"No." I said firmly. I would not let him get that close. Since our last trip to Italy I could not bear the thought of him fighting with them and possibly losing because losing only meant one thing.

"It won't come to that. Let's go finish up, maybe if we hurry we can have time to go to our meadow. It's going to be a while before we can visit it again." I frowned up at him. We were leaving so many memories behind, and creating new ones,a small voice spoke in my head.

Hope you guys liked it! Please review I love to get feedback and suggestions. Thanks and I'll try to update a bit sooner next time.
