Sorry it's been so long since my last update! School, social life and bunches of other crap interfered. Plus, this really isn't at the top of my list of priorities and I really don't have many ideas. Thank you to everyone who reviewed and your suggestions (especially to Fariy Lights, I'll probably use your suggestions soon!) and all who favorited as well. So without further ado…

Many years after Breaking Dawn, the Cullens return to Forks…
Edward: (sitting with Bella on the couch watching tv) So is Charlie coming over today?
Bella: Yeah. He's so excited to see us, he said.
Edward: You haven't seen him since after we got back from China, right?
Bella: I guess so… wow. It's been a while.
Edward: (looks toward door and hears the car shutting off) Nessie? Charlie's here.
Renesmee: (running from upstairs) Coming!
Bella: (opening door for Charlie) Hey da-aaaa (runs upstairs)
Edward: (follows her) Bella?
Charlie: (looking for Bella) Whaaa…?
Renesmee: (taking Bella's place) Hey Grandpa!
Charlie: (jumps back, shocked) Nessie? (stares at her incredulously)
Renesmee: (smiles and gives him a hug) Yep!
Charlie: (smiling back, still shocked) How long were you guys in China? You're all grown up!
Renesmee: (giggles) Well, you know how fast I grow and anyways, China was amazing! (continues to show Charlie about their trip to China)

Edward: (consoling Bella up in his room) What's wrong, love?
Bella: (scared by her own reaction) It's Charlie… he's … he's… so old.
Edward: (looking scared) Bella, you knew what was going to happen once you were changed. (starts going all emo-edward-y) I never should have let-
Bella: (pressing her finger to his lips) And let me die? No, this is right it's just... not Charlie that I'm scared of and not losing him that I'm scared of – although I am scared of that just not at the moment – but it's just the old that terrifies me.
Edward: (senses some sort of rant and lets her continue)
Bella: It's so irrational though! Even if I was a human, I probably could still take down Charlie. Plus, now I'm bulletproof! It's senseless! (confusedly paces room)
Edward: (realization dawning on him) Gerontophobia?
Bella: Excuse me?
Edward: (seeing the insult in Bella's face, phrases his sentence more of a question) Fear of… old people…?
Bella: (rolling her eyes) Great! Another thing to make me a freak!

So, really not one of my bests. I really can't get a hold on writing characters post-Breaking Dawn (with the exceptions of Esme, Charlie and Rosalie) and that frustrates me. But, it's better than nothing, right?
As always, suggestions much appreciated! What do YOU want to read about?
AND… do you have any ideas on a story/collection of oneshots you'd like me to write. I'm really drained of ideas.
