Home Sweet Home

I can't believe this. We're going back to Forks to visit everyone for two weeks – since Aro said so. There are no such things as favorites to Aro, but apparently Alice and I are his favorites. Even so, we're not allowed to be away from the castle for more than two weeks, which would suck because time travels freakingly fast. It's so much easier for human since time goes very slow for them. I admit that I miss my human activities, and I miss sleeping and having dreams, but at least I can be with Alice 24/7 without closing my eyes and missing every single moment of her. Being a vampire is great, but I still miss being human. At least I want Alice to know how much my heart wanted to beat for her whenever she's near. I did channel my feelings for her to Edward, which was the biggest mistake I've done.

"Darling, what are you thinking?" Alice asked, which brought me back to reality. What is up with everyone trying to know what I am thinking? I sigh and turn to her, a little annoyed at first but when I see her gorgeous face scrunching up into a frown, I smile at that.

"You, what or who else would I think about?" I asked playfully. She giggles at that before nuzzling into my side. We're still on the plane, and the flight attendant announced earlier that we would be landing down in Forks in about half an hour. All of this time she has been snuggling into my side, and I didn't even mind about it.

"We are about to land into Forks, Washington. Please return to your seat and put your safety belt on. This is your flight Captain, and I will repeat again. We are about to land into Forks, Washington. Please return to your seat and buckle up your safety belt on. Thank you."

"Mmm, should we 'buckle' up?" Alice mused. I glance around the area, listening as various humans' hearts beating around me. Listening to their breathing, to their conversation, and lastly the sound of the seatbelt clicking.

"If you want the flight attendant to come and scowl at us, let's not." I replied with a smirk. She turns and looks at me, then raises an eyebrow. I can really think of other way for us to 'buckle' up using our body parts, rather than the metal thing.

The sound of the plane about to land echoing throughout the large area, and I cringe at the sound deafening my sensitive ears. It does suck when you have very high senses.

"You'll get used to that." Alice murmured into my ears while I try to block the sound out, but to no avail. I might get used to it, give me several years and I might.

The plane lands with a screeching of its rolling wheels. I cringe again at the sound, and I try my best not to hiss so loudly. Soon enough – with the slowness of the humans and what's not – we finally got out of the airplane and into the airport of Forks. Alice and I go to get our bags, even though we didn't bring much. Actually, I didn't even think about bringing my whole wardrobe with me. I was under the influenced of Alice, and of course we practically brought half of our wardrobe with us. Two weeks with many, many clothes to change into, I'm going to go insane, I'm sure of it.

We finally got outside of the airport after getting our stuff. Our whole family is outside, waiting for us with happy smiles planting on their lovely faces. The only face that I'm trying to find is my little girl; Renesmee. Of course, being the mother that has been away from her child for that long, has made me anxious to see her. After a millisecond of finding her, I've found my gorgeous little girl struggling against her father's hold just so she'd be able to come see me. She gives up soon after, and stretches her arms towards me. My eyes are stinging with unshed tears, and I really want to cry then. I can't believe that Edward hasn't let go of my baby girl yet. I don't care if he's the father, Renesmee is trying to get to me!

With much needed human slow pace, I walk over to Renesmee and extend my arms to her. She grins widely at me, and wriggles her way out from Edward's stone cold arms but to no avail. I growl, and look up at Edward with a death glare. He gulps, and quickly retracts his arms around Renesmee so she would flop down on the ground. And when she does, she jumps into my arms instantly when her feet touches the ground. I chuckle as I scoop her up in my arms, and hug her for all she is worth. I miss her so much, and now that I'm only going to be here for only two weeks, I'm going to make this vacation worthwhile. Who knows when I'd be able to come back and see her, again.

"I miss you mommy." She softly whispered into my ears and I feel like I want to cry again. My eyes would only sting, and I silently curse at the immortality that I've wanted to have. Now that I have it, I couldn't feel but despise it for it has taken my ability to show how happy I am through tears.

"I miss you too, sweetheart. I miss you too, quite a whole lot." I whispered back, and she giggles softly into my ear. I have to pull away from the embrace, as much as I don't want to, and turn to face the rest of my family. I can still feel Edward's constant staring at the back of my head, but I ignore that.

"Let's go home. We have so much to catch up on." I murmured, and they all nod.

The drive home was quiet, but at least I was grateful of it. I had to be in Edward's Volvo, since they all thought that I was still in love with him. When I replayed the scene of the drive home in my mind, I could clearly see his grips tightening around the steering wheel. His lips pulled back and he was silently gritting his teeth. He must have had seen Alice's thought, because I had told her not to hide her feelings. If Edward was going to do anything inappropriate such as harming my Alice, he would have to speak to my face, personally.

"Bella, tell us about your time in Volterra." Carlisle inquired when we're all back inside. Before I speak up, Emmett interrupts me with a small frown.

"No, tell us about your time with that bastard Aro. Did he make you do anything that you don't want to?"

I sigh. "He got me to drink human blood when I woke up from my transformation." Gasps interrupting the room, mostly from the women and including Carlisle, but growls are louder from the gasps which Jasper, Emmett and Edward are making.

"He did what?!" Emmett bellowed, standing up with his hands clench into fists. Soon enough I feel a wave of calmness wash through me, so I turn and smile appreciatively at Jasper. He returns the smile, and turns to look at Alice. They lock gaze for a moment, then nod, and turn back to me. Confusing.

"Let's just move on from there. I'll tell you about my part, and Alice can tell you about her part, okay?" I look around at everyone, and they all nod. "Alright, so Aro flied me back to Volt…"

"Jazzy!" Squealed an unknown voice. I growl when that voice interrupted my story, and before I even turn around, a figure blurs past me and jumps on Jasper's lap with much enthusiasm that Alice possesses. Oh no, don't tell me it's Alice's clone! When I look closely enough, I swear that I don't even recognize who it is. I've never seen her around the family before, I didn't even see her at my wedding.

"Maria." Jasper chuckled and patted her leg lightly. "We're in a middle of an important talk, darling."

Alice stands up from beside him, and walks over to me and takes the only available spot on my left. Renesmee is on my lap, playing with my fingers even though her appearance is now of an eight years old. Edward is sitting on my right, and I can feel him tensing up when Alice has come to join me. Sooner or later he will accept the fact that I am no longer his wife, even if the paper said so. So when Alice leans her head on my shoulder, I don't know how his body got even tenser. The family doesn't even say anything, and they all look at us with…smiley faces? Did they know this would happen? Jasper doesn't even look a bit upset about it, he actually looks happy. This type of conversation is for another time.

"Well, now that I'm not going to be interrupted again."

Maria giggled. Yep, she just interrupted me again.

"Aro flied me back to Volterra. I was greeted by Heidi. Then I'm being dragged to train with Demitri, Felix, Heidi, Jane and Alec, but my partner is always Jane since Aro wants to make my mental shield stronger. I, personally, thought it's a good idea because I want to block a certain someone out of my future."

I receive a slight nudge in the ribs after that, and I can't help but chuckle a little.

"Alice joined me afterward, and if it wasn't her being there my eyes would have been bloodshot. It's hard to fight off the temptation at first, especially when Heidi lured those helpless humans inside the castle, and the screaming, and the intoxicating scent. It was very hard, but with Alice seeing the future, she always managed to drag me out into the woods to hunt. Then there is more training, then there was this game that we participated in. My team won, and Aro granted us two weeks of vacation. So now, we're here!" I finished up with a grin.

"I'm glad that you are home, Bella and Alice, even though it is only two weeks." Esme said softly. "We can talk about everything else later, let's get you settle in. Nessie has been waiting for you ever since Alice informed us you two are coming home."

"Yeah! We have to play hide and seek!"

We all chuckle at Renesmee outburst, but she wasn't kidding when she said we have to play hide and seek. She gracefully jumps down from my lap, grabs both of my and Alice's hands, and tugs at us. We chuckle and stand up, before we obediently follow her out to the woods. Of course, being Emmett, he can't really miss out this chance of playing with his only niece. The rest of the family join in, including Maria, and excluding Edward and I don't honestly know why he is being such a jerk at this moment. Ever since we got married, he seems to change and I don't really like this change, at all. I wonder how he was doing when I wasn't here. Renesmee could tell me, well, unless I ask, or Jacob would. I put the whole Edward's issue aside, because I really want to enjoy my time with the rest of the family and Renesmee while I'm here. Edward's issue can wait, and if he was going to be damn impatient about it, he can just suck it up.

A/N:

Yay for another chapter done. I'm being a little writer block about this story. Let's see how Edward and his ass gonna be up to now that Bella is back, with Alice as her new and true lover.

Thanks for reading and reviewing. =]
