Okay, so it wasn't Friday, but it is today. Sorry, I have a big speech paper I need to get done for my English class. This will be the day that I'll be updating this week. I don't know what days I will be updating in the next few weeks.

Chapter 20

By the time I was down the steps and walked in through the arch to the kitchen, the kids were already getting off the stools, their plates empty.

They ran past me and their loud footsteps were heard all the way up the steps and into their rooms. The door was slammed, their footsteps going two different way, to their bed.

"I guess they're excited," I laughed.

"I would agree," Edward smiled and reached across the counter to grab the dirty plates. He put them in the sink and left them there, "They can wait." He said, crossing his arms and leaning back.

"If this were to work, which I am sure it would, do you think Carlisle and Esme would agree to stay here? Think about it; we'd never have to move and start over again. That'd be-" Edward came up to me and put his finger on my mouth.

"Shh... We will talk about this at the main house." He moved his finger and kissed my lips, "Plus, the kids are coming down."

Way to state the obvious. Someone in Timbuktu could have heard them stomping around as they hurried downstairs.

"Calm down you two. One of you are going to get hurt someday." I said and they slowed for a minute, but then started right back up. They didn't come to the kitchen, like I thought they would. Instead I heard the front door open and I shook my head.

"I guess they are very eager. Maybe we should go before they start the car up and leave without us." I laughed a little and headed into the living room. I grabbed their coats off the top of the couch and put them around my arm.

Edward came behind me and grabbed my hand, opening the door for me. I thanked him and stepped out into the cool air. The kids were sitting in the back of Edwards Volvo, looking at us. When we came out they smiled and Renesmee moved her hand, motioning for us to move faster.

"Do you think we could run with them? I mean, they know now." I offered and Edward stopped and looked at the kids in the car, then to me.

"I can't say. We would have to ask them." He walked ahead of me and opened the back door, "Would you like to run to the house? See how fast we could run?" He asked, giving his charming smile.

They hesitated from a moment, "Uh. I don't know," Renesmee looked at Matthew and he shrugged, smiling a little.

"I think it would be fun." He looked at Renesmee and she gave one sharp nod.

"Okay."

I could tell she was still a little hesitant, "You don't have to do something you don't want to, sweetie." I looked her in the eye, making sure that she understood me.

"I know." She said simply and got out of the car, slamming it shut before Matthew could get out.

"You just slammed the door shut on Matthew, Renesmee," I said, hiding my smile because of the face Matthew made when the door almost smacked him in the face.

He opened the door back up and got out, slamming the door himself, "Why'd you close the door on me?" He asked, pushing past Renesmee, "It could have hurt me."

"Sorry. I forgot."

"Uh-huh. Okay." He said crossing his arms.

"Here, put your coats on," I handed their coats to them and they quickly put them on. I bent down a little, "Now, get on my back." I said and he, very 'gracefully', got up. I watched Renesmee slowly get on Edward's back.

"Hold on tight." He said to her and her little arms tightened around his neck.

"Are we all ready?" I asked and I was answered with two 'yeah's. We both started of slower then normal but then I started going a little fast since Matthew said, 'Is this as fast as you can go?' I went my fastest, weaving through trees and bending under the under brush. Every so often I would hear Matthews breath catch, but then he would put his chin on my shoulder and laugh.

I'm ecstatic that Matthew isn't an ounce scared of what we are. Heck, he absolutely blown away by the fact that we are vampires. He is so far anyway, but what could be worst then going 100 miles in a dense woods?

Renesmee, on the other hand, isn't so... easy going around us. She is obviously a little more drawn away from us since we have told her. For instance, just a few minutes ago she was hesitant of running to the house instead of driving. Maybe it will just take some getting use to for her. I mean, I didn't expect this from her. Matthew, more likely, Renesmee, no way.

I broke through the end of the woods, slowing to a walk and setting Matthew down on the ground. You would not believe how big of a smile he had on his face. It was and eye to eye grin, "Did you have fun?" I asked and he started nodded vigorously. "I'm glad." He may thing he's too old for it, but I grabbed his hand and started walking towards the house.

I looked behind me really quick and just saw Edward and Renesmee appearing. He hadn't gone as fast as he could have and I saw why. Renesmee had her arms clutched around Edward neck and her eyes were closed shut.

He reached behind her and touched her head, "You can get down, sweetie." She opened her eyes and looked around for a moment, then slid down to the ground. She grabbed Edwards hand and huddled to his side, "Are you okay?"

"It was kind of fun." She said, looking sincere, "But I don't want to do that again anytime soon, please." Edward chuckled and ruffled her hair.

"Deal." He walked over to where we stopped and we walked up to the porch and into the house.

"Gramma!" Matthew and Renesmee yelled at the same time just as Esme appeared around the corner. They jumped into her open arms and she kissed both their heads.

"How are you guys doing?"

Matthew whispered in her ear, "Are you a vampire, too?" She nodded, looking at me and Edward. "Cool!" Esme laughed at his reaction and she hugged him once more then went to join Emmett in front of a football game. He sat next to Emmett and the Emmett pulled him into a headlock.

"I'm a vampire, too." He boomed and Matthew laughed, pushing Emmett's big arm off of him.

Rosalie descended halfway down the steps and Renesmee took off upstairs with her. Renesmee had really taken a big liking of Rosalie a few years ago. Probably due to the fact that she was always the one holding her when she was little.

Again, this chapter didn't have them talking, but I have the next chapter typed out, so there won't be any waiting for the new chapter this week. My next update, after this week, will be next week. Review!
