Chapter 25 (Smells Like Reunion)

BPOV

Edward and I ran hand and hand through the snow covered woods surrounding Forks. We finally reached our cottage, where I dropped off my bags. Then we ran towards the house. My mind was focused solely on my daughter and I hoped I hadn't missed much changes.

She was so close to reaching adulthood, she had less then a year now. I wasn't prepared to let her go as I am sure she would leave to live with Jacob when the time comes. If not for her own benefit but for his, honestly I knew Jacob was tired of the 'stench' which came off of us just like the one similar to his. The only difference was there was eight of us and three of them; Jacob, Leah, and Seth. Leah tried to stay away most of the time; I don't actually think she's been in human form since before Reneesme's birth, well except for family holidays which she transforms back out of benefit for her family.

As we reached the house I heard her heartbeat, the soft pitter patter it made as we headed inside the house.

"Bella!" Alice was the first to run up to me and wrap me in a small hug.

Emmett I suppose being too impatient hugged both of us and lifted us up in the air.

"Welcome back Bella!" Emmett boomed

"Emmett you're ruining my dress! Let me down this instant!" Alice ordered

"Fine," he said dropping us

We both fell flat on our butts; Alice quickly got up and walked over to Jasper. I sat up embarrassed and quickly got back to my feet. My body may be vampire but my mind is still human.

"Welcome home Bella!" Esme said giving me a quick hug

After all the rest of the 'welcome backs' we headed into the dining room to talk about the previous week.

"So what did I miss?" I asked as I sat next to Edward

"A lot." Emmett stated

I rolled my eyes at his blunt response, "Yeah I guessed that but what about the whole vampire thing?" I asked

"She doesn't know, she curious but still hasn't got a single clue," Alice said as she began filling me in piece by piece of what I had missed. Starting from when Jessica passed out in front of the picture in Carlisle's office-so glad I wasn't the only one who found the picture creepy-to when Edward nearly spilled the beans-and I thought Edward wasn't an idiot-.

"Poor Jessica," I said after I took it all in

"Oh it wasn't so bad, I mean its Jessica Stanley you didn't honestly like her did you?" asked Rosalie who had never enjoyed Jessica from the start.

"Well she was the first person in Forks to acknowledge me," I said, I couldn't bring myself to call her my friend. I knew now that Jessica had never truly been a friend I was just another pawn in her way.

"Yeah but so did a whole bunch of people, you wouldn't risk your life for them would you?" asked Rosalie

"I guess not," I said

Rosalie opened her mouth to say something else but Alice gave her a warning glare.

"So now that we filled you in, how was it spending two weeks with Newton?" asked Emmett leaning forward as if he would get more information the closer he was to me then if he was still sitting firmly in his seat.

"At first it was awkward he would continually stare or I guess gawk at me. And he spent most hours at the office leaving me with James; their baby," I clarified.

"I bet that must have sucked," Emmett joked then made fang marks with his fingers.

"Ha ha," I said sarcastically the subject of James was still a sore one I guess you never really get over your near death experiences or at least not the one's hat used to scare me for months after the attack.

"Continue Bella," Alice instructed even though she must have seen the whole thing already.

"Right so it was getting to the point when I got really annoyed we were basically strangers in this house and I would have to cook for him each day and take care of James," I paused staring at Emmett hoping he wouldn't interrupt me with another cheesy joke. "Then one day I get a call from Angela and I find out not only is she and Ben expecting a baby but also their getting married!" I paused again just thinking how happy the two would be together "then Angela and I had decided we would meet up to intervene with Mike not only about his crush but also about how little time he was spending with Jessica. But when we met up Angela and Ben left leaving me with Mike that's when Jessica appeared," I said I continued with the story talking about how Mike and Jessica opened up to each other then went back to the filming.

"From then on Mike had a goal, he wanted to be a better husband and father so by the second week when I changed the rules we killed the crush and opened more time up for the family," I said.

"Bravo great story!" Emmett clapped like a little kid that reminded me where was Reneesme?

"She's outside with Jake," Edward answered my mental question as if he could read my mind at the moment but I knew my shield was up tightly around my mind.

I got up from the table and ran outside; they were lying on their backs watching the winter sky turn to black.

"I'm back!" I called

"Mom!" Reneesme jumped up and ran over to me locking me in a tight hug. I hugged her back she had grown up to my chin now.

"I missed you." I said hugging her tighter but not too tight.

"I know me too," she said

"Hey Bells," Jake said walking over

We shared a quick hug neither of us really wanted to endure the stench that each of us gave off.

"Great to have you back that Jessica chick was so annoying." Jake complained

I laughed, I felt finally complete surrounded by family and so glad this journey was complete now for Emmett and Alice's revenge.

A/N: Sorry for taking so long! Hopefully because this is my week off I'll get to write more R&R please!
