I searched through my gigantic closet for jeans and a t-shirt. Edward taught me how to use the scents of the clothes to find them quicker. We were going hunting today, so I decided to avoid the dressier, tight fitting clothes. I always seemed to ruin them while hunting. Although, I was getting better.

Two sets of tiny bare feet hurried through the house, followed by their giggles. "Can we come too?" Masen asked as he entered the room.

"You're staying here with Jacob." Edward answered him.

I stepped out of the closet and both Masen and Renesmee raced over to me. "We already asked Jacob, he doesn't really like hunting, but he'd do it if Renesmee was going." Masen smirked.

Renesmee smiled and jumped around excitedly.

"I didn't say that!" Jacob hurried into the room. His eyes were wide as he stared at Masen.

"Son, are you lying?" Edward knelt down in front of him.

He shook his head. "No, I heard it. In my mind."

I froze in place.

Renesmee stopped jumping and stared at her brother.

Jacob snorted.

"Masen, you can hear people inside your head?" Edward spoke slowly.

Masen shrugged. "Sometimes."

"What do you mean sometimes?"

"Well, right now I don't hear anything."

"You don't hear anyone in this room?"

I walked over to stand behind Edward to look at his face. His eyes narrowed as he stared at his father. He smiled. "I know what you're thinking. You are wondering if I can read minds like you can."

Edward slowly nodded. "But you can't hear anyone else?"

"No, not unless I want to."

"Can you hear Mommy's?"

Masen looked up at me and I smiled down at him. I made to sure to only think about my love for him. He smiled back before looked back at Edward.

"She loves me."

"You heard her?" Edward looked behind him and I nodded. Letting him know that's what I was thinking.

"He's like you, Daddy." Renesmee squeezed between him and Masen, leaning against Edward who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Yes, but…" Edward looked back up at me and then back at Masen. "Can you hear Renesmee's thoughts?"

Renesmee scrunched up her nose and Masen giggled. "She doesn't want me to hear her thoughts."

"Yup!" Renesmee agreed.

"Ok, so he can only hear the thoughts of the person he focuses on." Edward concluded.

"So, can we go hunting?" Masen asked and then immediately smiled. "Thanks Daddy!" He said and ran out of the room with Renesmee at his heels.

"I didn't say yes!" Edward called after them.

"You were thinking of it!" Masen called back.

"That's going to get slightly annoying." Edward grumbled.

Jacob laughed and punched his arm. "Now you know how the rest of us feel," he looked at me and narrowed his eyes. "But he heard Bella's thoughts. You can't."

"I know, but he is her son and Renesmee can get into her mind also."

"So what does that mean?" I asked him.

"I don't know, like I always teased you--maybe their minds run on the same frequency as yours."

I shook my head. "But Masen can hear your thoughts and you can hear Renesmee's."

"I don't know." Edward scratched his temple and stood up. "I'll talk to Carlisle later."

Edward didn't say another word as we went hunting. It was supposed to be just Edward and I, but turned out to be me, Edward, Renesmee, Masen, and Jacob. Renesmee and Masen skipped ahead of us as they raced towards the warm beating hearts beyond the brush.

"Edward," I waited to pull him back until Jacob went to watch after the kids. "I think I need to go to the volturi."

His onyx eyes turned blacker. "What?" He hissed.

"Aro can't know about them," I nodded towards the sound of Renesmee and Masen arguing over who caught the biggest elk. "I have to go alone to show them I was changed. This way they don't have to--"

"No," Edward snapped, cutting me off.

"They cant hurt me."

"You're not going alone."

"You cant come with me. Aro touches you and he'll see our kids. He can't see anything if he touches me."

"And he's not going to touch you. You're not going. We'll handle it when the time comes." He quickly turned away from me and ran towards his prey. I would go to Carlisle after our hunting trip. He would be on my side.

I dropped my elk when I heard Renesmee scream. Edward and I arrived where they were at the same time. The smell of blood was strong, but I stayed in control. My eyes quickly searched the area. Jacob had the back of Renesmee's dress in his mouth, holding her back. The whole front of her dress was soaked with blood. She flailed her body towards Masen, who was bent over laughing.

"What happened?" Edward's eyes fell to the elk mangled on the ground.

"I caught it, but he tried taking it from me! He pushed me and I fell." Renesmee's high pitched voice echoed off the trees around us.

"Masen, stay with me please." Edward took his hand and tugged him to his side. "Don't do that again."

"Jacob give me your shirt." He turned so I could take it off his back leg. I took Renesmee's hand and led her away from the others.

"He ruined my dress," she huffed as I pulled it over her head. "Aunt Alice is going to be bad at him."

I couldn't help but laugh. "I don't think she will. She'll just get you a new one." I said and slipped Jacob's t-shirt over her head. Her beautiful scent was immediately covered up by the strong scent of dog. She didn't seem to mind. She lifted the collar of the shirt to her nose and breathed in deeply. I scrunched up my nose. I stepped back to admire her new outfit. She was drowning in that shirt, but it would have to do until we got back to the house.

I stopped her when she stumbled over the bottom of the shirt. I took the hair tie out of my hair and bunched up the shirt at her thigh. I tied it there, she seemed more satisfied with her legs free and ran back to where the others were waiting.

"You stink." Masen plugged his nose when Renesmee walked passed him.

Edward threw his head back and laughed.

Jacob rolled his large eyes and grumbled.

We finished hunting and ran back to the big house. I hurried into the house first so I could get to Carlisle. Edward said something to Masen behind me. I slowed to listen.

"She wants to ask Grandpa Cullen about the volturi… Dad what's that?"

I spun around and glared at my husband. "Using your son to get into my head?"

"You were up to something," Edward shrugged. "I had to know."

"What is a volturi?" Masen tugged at his shirt.

"See what you started?" I spun around and called out for Carlisle.

"Nothing. I'll explain when you're older." I heard Edward telling Masen.

"Their vampires too?"

"Masen, get out of my head." Edward snapped.

Jacob laughed.

"Is there something new about Masen?" Carlisle asked as he shut his office door behind me.

"Yes," Edward opened the door and stepped in. "But the more important thing right now is my wife. She thinks she can go to the volturi alone to prove to them she's one of us know. Tell her… it's… not…" Edward trailed off as he stared at Carlisle. "You're agreeing with her?!"

"Edward, if Aro touches you he will know about Renesmee and Masen. They wont understand them. She should go alone, but I see your fear and I understand it. I could go with her half way. I'll be nearby if there is any danger."

Edward seemed to be a little more open to that idea. They continued on with their planning. I wondered out of the room to leave them to talk.

Back downstairs I sat on the couch with Rosalie and Alice. They were watching TV with Masen and Renesmee sprawled out on the floor. I noticed Renesmee still in Jacob's shirt and looked around for Jacob.

"You didn't change her?" I asked Alice.

She rolled her eyes. "She wouldn't let me. She wants to stay in his shirt."

"How can she stand that smell?" Rosalie huffed.

"Where is Jacob?" I asked.

"Out running with the other dogs. He wants to make sure Irina isn't hanging around." Rosalie answered.

I knew where Emmett and Jasper were, I could hear them in the garage. Esme was outside gardening. My eyes fell on my kids as they laughed at what happened in the cartoon on TV.
