Please R&R???

I drove slowly to my parents' house, thinking about what to say, and who to talk to? Carlisle? Alice? Emmett? Jasper? Esme? Mom? Dad? Rosalie? All of them? None of them? I didn't know what I was doing really.

"Mommy, music?" Raine asked from the back seat, I smiled. Raine took after my dad and me, we were all very musical people, silence actually bothered us. I turned on the CD that I had in the player, Owl City started to play, it wasn't my first choice today, so I rummaged through the compartment where I kept my CDs, looking for something else. I found Daughtry's newest CD and stuck it in the player. Raine seemed pleased with my choice.

It took less time to get to my parents' place the back way than it did to go through Forks, so when I arrived at the mansion I was wishing that I could've taken the 'normal way'. But, alas, no one in town knew that I existed, I was a secret, and it could be a pain sometimes.

As I pulled up to the beautiful mansion I began my exercise to keep dad out of my head. Once I parked the car I helped Raine out of the car and then grabbed Connor's car seat with him in it. Raine raced to the front steps before I could, she was always so anxious to see my family. To her, this was all normal, as it had been to me once upon a time; but now, I wished that we were all human. Me, Jake, dad, mom, my family, I wished we were human so I didn't have to hide all the time.

My children could perhaps be somewhat normal, since they didn't age too fast; and now that I had stopped growing perhaps I could walk around in Forks some, but not for long, eventually people would notice my lack of aging. The 'fictional' world could be quite the pain.

Esme opened the door before I even reached the front steps, which didn't surprise me. Alice had likely become aware that I was coming to visit the minute I decided to, and she had probably alerted everyone. Or, Esme had just heard me, either way, I wasn't surprised.

"Hey there little one!" Esme said pulling Raine up into her arms.

"Hey Esme." I said smiling at her; she smiled back at me before listening to my daughter's nearly unintelligible chatter. She turned and walked into the house, I followed slowly. Once I was inside the beautiful house I set Connor down on the floor next to the door and stood in front of him protectively; I would remain in that position until everyone was aware that he was in the house.

Everyone came flooding from all corners of the house to see us. Alice and Jasper came floating down from upstairs, Emmett and Rosalie from the kitchen with Carlisle; but I didn't see my parents.

I could tell that everyone saw Connor behind me, so I picked him back up and glided across the room seamlessly – without waking him up – and placed him in the baby swing they had set up for whenever I came over. Once I had him settled I was instantly in Emmett's arms.

"Hi." I chocked; Emmett tended to forget that I needed to breath.

"Oops, sorry kiddo." He said setting me down and tousling my hair.

I closed my eyes then glared up at him. "I'm not a kid!" I protested, Emmett's booming laugh filled the room.

"C'mon Nessie, you were born only seven years ago, you should be playing with dolls, you're a kid." He said smiling at me playfully. I rolled my eyes.

"Hey Nessie!" Alice chimed, gliding to my side and pulling me into her cold arms.

"Hey!" I chimed back, I loved 'Aunt' Alice more than words could describe.

After several more hugs we all settled down around the couch. I sat, of course, in between Alice and Rosalie. Carlisle and Esme stood side-by-side six feet away, Raine playing with Esme's hair from where she balanced on her hip. Emmett and Jasper stood opposite of Esme and Carlisle; we all slipped into seamless conversation, I was home.

"So, what's it like being a mom?" Rosalie asked, I could hear Emmett exhale his breath slowly in a sigh; he felt bad for his mate and all, and a little guilty; but he could only take so much baby talk.

"Just like it has been every time you ask me, incredible." I answered, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear.

"Speaking of parents." Alice mumbled; we all heard my parents gliding towards the house, it was likely they didn't know I was here, since they'd been in the cabin.

"Hey mom, hey dad." I said standing up. One minute I was next to the couch, and the next I was next to them, God how I loved being part vampire!

"Hey Nessie!" Mom said wrapping her arms around me, her topaz eyes were still streaked with crimson, it should bother me, but it didn't.

"Hey there." Dad said smiling at me, though his eyes were clouded with something else; what was he hearing?

"Hey daddy." I said hugging him; I felt his strong stone arms around me, arms I'd loved for so long. Every pair of arms in this room was home to me.

"We can talk later." He breathed, so that only I could hear.
