Dear Diary,

Today I was headed home. Somehow, in the back of my mind, this seemed like a bigger deal than it was, but I pushed that aside. I tried not to think of the fact that I would be bringing my boyfriend home with me.

As we finished packing, I thought of how my family would react to the news.

Aunt Rose would be thrilled. She always loved Nauhel because he was like me and she wanted me to be happy. Though I would never hear the end of it from my playful uncle. Emmett would probably tease me about dating a 'jungle boy' and such.

Aunty Alice would be flying high. Just think of all the outfits she'd want to buy me for my future dates. Uncle Jasper would probably feel whatever Alice feels because they are so connected; though, he wouldn't show it as much.

Carlisle and Esme wouldn't be a problem; they supported whatever decision I made. I was lucky to have grandparents like them.

Mama and Daddy were another story. They hated when I grew up and I knew that coming home as a more mature, no longer single teenager might not settle well with them; Edward especially. Bella allowed me more room to grow than he did, but she still tried to keep me as her baby.

And Jacob. Well, I didn't want to think of what my best friend would think about my relationship with Nauhel. We weren't exactly on the best terms when I left and I don't think that not talking to him the entire time I was in the Amazon is going to help ease the situation any.

I had never had a secret from Jacob, but now I had a major one. I had a freakin' boyfriend and my best friend didn't even know yet! Suddenly, I was anxious to be back in Forks.

"Ready to go, Little Cheetah?" Nauhel asked from the doorway to my bedroom.

I nodded, zipping up my suitcase to prove the point, and grabbed the full bag from the handle. Huilen was waiting in the kitchen area with open arms.

Though she hadn't liked me much when I first showed up, now I thought of her as one of my own aunts. She was family now.

"Thank you so much for the clothes." I said genuinely, glancing down at the deerskin dress and homemade silver stone necklace that complimented Alice's silver heels. The necklace had been a gift from Huilen that she spent all night working on once she found out that Nauhel and I planned to return to the States so soon.

"It is no problem, young Renesme." Huilen said. "I am happy to provide anything that you need." She eyed her nephew hovering behind me and chuckled lightly.

"Take good care of my nephew." She paused, when he rolled his eyes in response, and just smiled sadly. "Do not break his heart, Renesme. He is half human after all." She joked, but I could hear the seriousness behind her words.

"I…I promise." I replied, hugging her once more before we had to leave.

"You are welcome to come back whenever you desire it." Huilen said, trying to hold me closer. "It feels like more of a home with you here in the jungle with us."

"Its been fun in the jungle, but I think I'm a forest girl at heart." I joked, referring to my home in the wooded forest of Forks, Washington.

"Still. Just know that the offer will always stand." Huilen said.

She didn't mention it, but from what Nauhel said about past conversations with his aunt, I reminded Huilen of her sister; Nauhel's dead human mother.

"I'll remember that." I said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, but we really have to leave if we want to catch our flight." Nauhel said, grabbing both his bag and mine as he headed to the front door of the hut.

I smiled at Huilen one last time and follow Nauhel out of the hut. I reached for my bag but he wouldn't hand it over. Instead, he placed both suitcases in one hand and tucked my arm under his other one.

"Are you ready to face my family?" I teased.

"Hmm?" He replied, not fully paying attention as we loaded the plane. "Your family?"

"Yeah." I said with a giggle. "My crazy, overprotective vampire family that doesn't want their little girl to grow up. You're the first boy I've brought home so I'm not sure how they'll react."

Nauhel half smiled. "Your family is not who I am worried about." He said, but when he didn't explain further, I frowned.

"Who are you worried about then?" I asked, laughing at his expression.

I could barely hear him as the plane engines roared to life, but it sounded an awful lot like "Jacob Black."
