Chapter 11: Party

Nessie's POV

Would you believe me if I told you that my aunt could organize a party in less than thirty minutes? Well she could. Aunt Alice is a force to be reckoned with when it came to organizing parties.

To say that my family was overjoyed to have me back would be the understatement of the century. The same could be said for the way that I felt about being back with my family.

My mom couldn't seem to keep her arms off of me. She just kept hugging me at random moments and honestly I wouldn't have it any other way. I listened to my mom's story about her pregnancy with me. That's when I finally understood why neither she nor any other member of my family ever would've tried to force me to abort my baby.

My grandfather was particularly interested in my physiological changes just like my father had predicted. I couldn't move as fast, see as good, hear as good, and my reflexes were definitely way slower then they used to be. The same could be said of my strength. My strength had weakened. Everything about me had weakened.

My physiological changes had completely baffled and worried my family. I hadn't really given much thought to my changes over the years until now.

I couldn't help but smile when I saw Melanie bonding with the rest of my family; especially her father. I didn't even need to tell her the truth. She had already figured it out on her own. She only needed me to confirm what she had already known. The two of them seemed inseparable.

I sighed. I still had no idea how I was going to get back home without my family asking me any questions. I couldn't stay here with all the serious problems I was facing back home. But I didn't want my family to know what I was going through. I had already caused them enough grief for a few life times. Besides how would they react if they knew there was a real possibility of me getting arrested? I was innocent but still the police want to blame someone for the poisoning and deaths and I couldn't afford a decent lawyer to defend me.

"Nessie are you okay?" Mom asked, looking extremely worried.

"I'm fine mom. Don't worry about me" I said.

"Young lady I'm your mother. It's my job to worry about you. If something is bothering you please let me know"

Moms. They'll never stop worrying about you no matter what. Even if you completely abandoned them for years they'll still love you and worry about you.

"I'm okay mom. Really I am" I couldn't tell if I was trying to convince her or myself at this point.

"I still can't believe you're really here" she whispered. "I'm so happy but it still feels so surreal"

"I know the feeling mom. I feel the same way. We're all together again and that makes me extremely happy"

"Together. That's exactly how it should be. Now we can be a family again" she smiled happily.

Getting away from my family was definitely going to be extremely difficult. Perhaps even impossible.

No. I couldn't think about this right now. I had to guard my thoughts very carefully. My dad might be listening in. Speaking of my dad where was he? He was taking an awfully long time coming back.

"You haven't heard from dad have you mom?"

She shook her head. "No I haven't and honestly I'm starting to get a little worried. Do you have any idea where he might be?"

I took a deep breath. "Well he wasn't exactly happy when I told him the Denalis knew the truth"

"Yes and neither am I" she added.

I had already told my family that the Denails knew the truth and to say they were unhappy would be a huge understatement. If it weren't for the fact that Jacob was holding our daughter he would have exploded when I confessed that truth.

"Still your father should have been back by now already"

"Maybe he's gotten tired of Aunt Alice's parties" I joked.

"It's a welcome home party she did just for you Nessie. I doubt your father would want to miss that"

"I don't know but I hope he hurried back. I miss him"

"Still the same ole daddy's girl" mom said with a smile on her face.

"I don't think that's ever going to change mom. No matter how old I get"

"I don't think your dad would have it any other way either"

I didn't see my father for the rest of the evening sadly. However I still managed to have a good time with everyone. I was able to forget my worries at least for a little while.

At 10pm Melanie and I I were nearly dead from exhaustion. My mom gave me some of her pajamas and Melanie some of my old pajamas from when I was physically her size.

I held my girl close to me as we fell asleep.

I was awoken suddenly by someone urgently shaking my body with ice cold hands. It was Carlisle.

"Grandpa what's going on?"

"Actually that's exactly what I would like to know. What is going on?"

"I don't know what you're talking about grandpa" I rubbed the sleep from my eyes.

"While everyone else decided to go look for your father I stayed behind to take care of you and Melanie. When I heard a phone ring I thought it was one of them calling however when I answered I realized that the phone was yours rather then mine. One of your friends called to tell you that the police are looking for you right now at this very moment"

I had no idea what I was going to say or do now. I was trapped.
