Bella's POV

All I could concentrate on was him. The love of my life.

I inhaled the rich honey-lilac-and-sun perfume that came off of his skin, felt every inch of his perfect body on my own. Being a vampire was truly worth everything it cost. Our lips moved together…

Sunlight streamed in through the windows and Edward sighed. I sighed too. It was time to stop. Charlie and some La Push people were coming over for lunch today.

"Time to get ready love," Edward said, starting to get up. I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him for a long moment.

"Okay, now I'm ready," I said once I was as breathless as a vampire could get. He chuckled and stood.

We got dressed in less than thirty seconds, even with the enormous closet that Alice had insisted on us having. It was really just a waste; I didn't use most of the stuff in there.

Holding hands, we ran to the main Cullen house. Alice was already waiting for us in front of the house. "You're late," she said. "Charlie'll be here in fifteen minutes."

"Sorry Alice." Was in nearly noon already? It seems we lost track of time again…

Edward wrapped his arms around my waist. "Let's go see Renesmee," he said, taking me inside.

I tried not to dislike what I saw in the living room.

Renesmee was about the physical size of a ten year old now. Her bronze curls hung halfway down her back—it was all we were willing to cut. She sat on the sofa, talking to Jacob through her thoughts, a hand on his cheek.

Nessie turned. "Hi Mom! Hi Dad!"

"Hey there Nessie!" I hugged her, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of a teen she would become. Surely we could skip the nightmarish adolescent years? I couldn't imagine Renesmee in any way other than the sweet girl she was now.

I kissed her forehead. "Grandpa's coming over today," I told her.

She smiled. "I know."

The doorbell rang and Esme flitted down the stairs and to the door. "Hello Charlie, Sue," she greeted.

"Hey there everyone," Charlie said. Sue just smiled, holding a plate of food.

"I'll take that for you," Esme said, taking the dish to place it with the food we ordered.

As they settled themselves, Embry, Quil, and Seth burst into the house. "Still food left?" Embry asked.

Jacob rolled his eyes. "We haven't even started."

The wolves and humans settled down to eat. "Aren't you hungry Nessie?" I said.

"I'm thirsty," Renesmee said. "But not hungry."

"You should eat something," I insisted, turning her towards the table.

Nessie rolled her eyes—looking so much like her father—and skipped to join Jacob. Shoot.

"So," Charlie said as he chewed. "I had a thought."

"What is it?"

"How about we go to Disneyland sometime?" he suggested. "Have a little family fun."

All the Cullens exchanged glances. We couldn't exactly go to sunny California and wander around Disneyland.

"I'm not sure about that…" I hedged. Charlie's face fell and guilt flooded through me. "It's kinda complicated…"

"Hey, what if you take Nessie and I?" Jacob offered. I felt my guilty expression turn into a glare.

"Sure, I guess," Charlie said. "But why can't you come Bells? Would a different time be better?"

"Need to know," I reminded him. Charlie grumbled incoherently and returned to his food. "Jake," I hissed under my breath.

He grinned at me and shrugged. I glowered.

Edward placed a hand on my back. "I don't like this," I said, too low for a human to hear.

"I don't either, but we shouldn't deprive Renesmee of her fun."

"Oh." Of course. I was being selfish. Renesmee deserved to have human experiences, even if her vampire family couldn't be there with her. I sighed. "Good point."

The rest of the lunch flew by. Not a scrap of food was wasted with the four wolves eating. I wondered vaguely how Leah was doing. She was still a member of Jake's pack, but I rarely ever saw her. Occasionally, I would glimpse a smaller gray wolf prowling through the forest but other than that, I didn't see much of her.

"So what d'ya say we go this weekend?" Charlie asked as he prepared to leave.

"Tomorrow?"

"Yeah, I mean, Nessie doesn't exactly have school and all so…"

"Sounds good," Jacob said cheerfully. I took a deep, burning breath, opening and closing my fist to calm myself. "It's done. We'll pack tonight."

"See you tomorrow morning!" Charlie said.

"Wait, how're you planning on getting there?" I interrupted.

Charlie scratched the back of his ear. "Uh…didn't think about that."

"We'll take a plane," Jake said.

"We'll pay for it of course," Carlisle said. My lip slipped into a pout. Why was everyone being so supportive of this?

"I couldn't—" Charlie started to say.

"Don't worry about it," Carlisle insisted. "Renesmee is my granddaughter as well."

"Just go Dad," I said, sharper than necessary due to my irritation.

Charlie waved and stepped out to join Sue in the car. As soon as his car was out of the driveway, I closed the door, fuming. "Jake," I growled.

Jacob raised his hands innocently. "It'll be fun."

"For you."

"And Nessie."

Renesmee jumped up at me. I caught her reflexively and she placed a hand on my cheek, replaying our conversation. She wanted to go to Disneyland. I sighed. "Never mind. Have fun there." I set Renesmee down. "Let's go get your stuff ready."

"I'll get the tickets," Carlisle said, disappearing from the room in a blur. Nessie skipped up the stairs, Alice following behind her.

"I don't believe this," I grumbled to Edward. Jake grinned at me. I jerked a thumb at the door. He shrugged—still grinning—and walked out. Edward pulled me closer to him.

"It won't be so bad," he murmured. "Nessie will have fun. And Charlie will be there—there's nothing to worry about."

"Sure, sure," I sighed as Alice flitted down the stairs with a suitcase in her hand. That was some quick packing. Nessie skipped down after her, and jumped into my arms again. She placed a hand on my cheek, showing me no image, just excitement mixed with sadness because I wouldn't be coming.

I stroked her curls. "Don't worry Nessie, just go have fun tomorrow." She touched my cheek again. "Yes, you should probably hunt now," I said. "No blood in Disneyland, okay?" Renesmee nodded and headed out the door, where Jacob was waiting.

I turned to Edward. Looking at his face, I suddenly saw a bright side to the trip. Edward and I would have more time alone. A smile spread across my face.

Edward raised an eyebrow, questioning. "Why the sudden enthusiasm?"

Jasper quickly escaped out the door with Alice, probably sensing my emotions.

"We'll have more than a night," I said cheerfully. Edward's crooked smile sent thrills of electricity down my spine.

Emmett booming laugh sounded from upstairs. I had forgotten about him. Edward rolled his eyes and then took my hand.

Tomorrow was going to be a grand.

A/n: This chapter's purpose is just to set things up for the story and to show how the Cullens are doing at the moment. It'll get more interesting soon!
