"I don't understand! It's eight months until graduation, you cut your legs while shaving, and now you're visiting your hometown, and Jake's because of it?????????"

"Yes, Anna," Nessie replied tiredly.

Anna Lamport rolled her eyes. Anna's hair was in a boring pony, and her pink hair streaks were gathered together in a tiny braid that swung outside of it. She wore an overall jumper over a striped oxford shirt belonging to one of the other orphans in the foster home. (A/N: You can only be SO creative.)

Nessie had already lost interest in the conversation, and decided to examine her Converse. Nessie was in a baggy T-shirt of Jacob's over a pair of Rosalie's soft, beat up, jeans from 2004.

Anna sighed and looked away, tears glistening in the emotional's eyes.

Edward burst in the house, arms laden with groceries. He carried two full bags that Jacob, Nessie and the vampires could lift with ease, but were impossible to carry for a human. Edward had been to busy to prepare himself for Anna's arrival, and he quickly darted back in the foyer. Anna looked at the door and called, "Edward? You in there?"

Bella's voice cut through the air. "Ya, and me too. We just got back from grocery shopping." Bella and Edward entered, each carrying two regular-weight bags.

"Edward, could you go out and get the last bag?" Bella asked sweetly. Bella and Edward's eyes were a deep honey color today, closer to black than yellow. Bella's dark hair was in a side pony over a denim jacket and matching jeans. She wore her bracelet from years ago, and on a chain under her shirt hung her wedding and engagement rings. Nessie darted up to Bella and kissed her cheek. Bella, a small smile on her face, returned the favor.

"Hey, Bella," Anna said cheerfully. "Don't you guys normally buy more groceries?"

Nessie was ready with an answer, "Yes, but that's on Friday. This is just a quick run until then." Bella's hair swung as she started to unload the groceries. She focused on a jug of milk that appeared to be to heavy for her. Nessie smiled knowingly and helped her mother lift it onto the table. Bella's tinkling laugh filled the air as Edward came in, two more bags in his hands.

"Hey, Angel," he said as he kissed Nessie on the forehead. "I see ZZ is with you."

Anna giggled as she helped the Cullens unload the groceries.

Rosalie tumbled down the steps. "Anza!" she cried.

"Rose!" Anna cried back as she embraced the vampire fondly.

"Edwaaaard," Rosalie drawled, "Please tell me you bought Oreos. Jasper finished my package."

Bella tweaked Rosalie's nose as she entered the kitchen.

"No, Rose, you didn't ask me to," Edward replied as the last of the groceries was in its place.

Rosalie pouted quickly, but then withdrew her lip. She tugged on the leg of Nessie's jeans as she said, "Hey, Ness, those are mineses!"

Nessie only replied in an overdone Rosalie imitation, "My closet is yours, Nessie, remember Rosie's always here!"

Anna giggled and Edward smiled a sad smile.
