Within a few hours, we were back in Forks. Carlisle picked us up at the airport. Even though it was juvenile, I handed Destiny to Jasper and ran to Carlisle. "Oh, Miele, I missed you." He whispered in my ear. "I missed you too, Carlie." I said. "What are you two doing here?" Carlisle asked. "Coming home." I said with a smile. Carlisle smiled at that and said, "Welcome home." We walked to Carlisle's Mercedes and headed back to Forks. "I've missed this car." I said. Carlisle cracked a smile. "Jazzy? Buy me one?" I asked. "Anything for you, Darlin'." Jasper said. "Jazzy? Miele, what's with the act?" Carlisle asked. I laughed. "Sorry, Carlisle. Guess Jasper and I are still southern sweethearts." I said. "There was never any doubt." Carlisle said. "The longer I stay there, the stronger my accent tries to come back." I said. "Miele, maybe you should let it." He said. "Let it? But, it isn't my natural accent." I said. "Are you sure about that?" he asked. Of course, I thought about that for a moment.
Home was in Italy, wasn't it? Of course, Houston had been home for longer than Italy. Could I decide between my homes? I didn't say anything the rest of the drive back. As we pulled up to the house, i looked at Jasper. That was when I realized that my home was wherever Jasper was. I got out and smiled when I saw the rest of my family. "Chai!" A perky voice exclaimed. "Alice!" I exclaimed. We hugged and giggled like two little girls. "Wow. Destiny has gotten so big!"She exclaimed. "Yeah. She's about four months old." I said proudly. "Four months? Has it been that long?" Alice asked. "Yeah." I said. Esme came out and threw her arms around Jasper. "My son is home and he brought his wife and daughter!" She exclaimed. Jasper's face looked frightened. "Chai, help!" He exclaimed in his thoughts. "Sorry, Jazz, you're on your own." I replied in my thoughts.
I headed inside with Alice and Carlisle. Jasper came in about fifteen minutes later. "Have fun, Jasper?" I asked. Jasper dropped himself into a chair. I smiled and handed Destiny to Alice. I walked over to the chair Jasper was in and lightly massaged his shoulders. I thought about all the wonderful things I wanted to spend the night doing. "Chai, keep your thoughts to yourself please. That is my brother you're married to." Edward said. "Sorry, Edward. He's just irresistible." I replied. Rosalie and Emmett came downstairs. As unusual as it was, Rosalie seemed happier than I had ever known her to be. "Where is Destiny?" Rosalie asked after hugging me. "Alice is holding her." I said. "Well, if your husband would be willing to watch her, then Alice, you and I can go out for a girls night." Rosalie suggested. "Girls night out?" I asked. "Yeah. You're a mom. Taking care of a baby all the time can't leave you much time for yourself." Alice said. "I don't think leaving Destiny is a good idea. Why don't we bring her with us?" I suggested. "Chai, that defeats the purpose of going out." Rosalie said. "I think she's right, Rose. In fact, why don't you and Chai go and take Emmett and Jasper with you?" Alice suggested. "Emmett and Jasper? But then it won't be a girls night." Rosalie complained. Rose really didn't want to bring the guys, but Alice seemed determined. "The guys can carry the bags. After all, you hate having to carry your bags, Rose." Alice said. "Well, that is true. I do hate carrying my bags." She said. "If we brought the guys, it could be like a double date." I said. "A double date?" She asked with a smile. Rosalie thought for a moment and then said, "Chai, let's go get ready." "Ready? Is something wrong with this?" I asked. "Maybe not in Houston. But, we aren't going to Houston." She said. I followed Rosalie into her room. "So, Seattle or Portland?" I asked. "Oh, Chai, what fun would a double date there be?" She laughed. I shrugged. "We have hundreds of choices. The question is what do we want to do when we aren't shopping?" Rosalie asked. I shrugged. "Chai, it's not just shopping! You have to consider nightlife. We're vampires. Night is our norm." She said. "Alright. What are our choices?" I asked. "New York? Milan?" She suggested. "What about Paris?" I asked. "Paris? Why Paris?" Rose asked. "It's got world class shopping, great nightlife, it's romantic and for the weekend, nothing but cloudy skies." I said. Rose was quiet for a moment. "Paris, huh?" She asked. I smiled and said, "Paris." "Well then, we might want to brush up on our French." She said, smiling. We laughed and begun raiding closets. Since Alice, Rosalie and I shared clothes, raiding each other's closets wasn't anything new. I went to the landing. "Jasper, can I see you in our room for a moment?" I asked, sweetly. I disappeared into our room. "You wanted to see me?" He asked. "I need some help deciding what to pack." I said. Jasper sighed and settled in on the bed. I went into the walk-in closet and was deciding what to try on first when Rosalie and Alice came in. "Let's get packing." Rose said.
